Chapter 166: He wasn't worried about money
Seeing the results of the test, Fusu was very happy. In such a short period of time, Meng Tian has done this, he is really a practical person. And he was happy not only because of the success of Meng Tian's experiment, but also because it was related to them and Xiao Han. She remembered Xiao Han's domineering words, to press the Huns behind Yinshan for decades and not turn over.
Meng Yi is also very happy, but he is a stable person and does not like to reveal his feelings.
Nowadays, there are too many people in Xianyang who pay too much attention to the Meng family, envy, jealousy, respect, fear, and so on. In his heart, just like the negative Tailai, prosperity and decline are also inevitable. So he is afraid of the current favor of the Meng family.
Besides, as a close attendant of the emperor's side, when he was speculating about the emperor's words and deeds, he knew that the emperor was not speculating about the courtiers?
The First Emperor took the knife that Zhao Gaogang had tried, put his fingers on the blade and brushed it. This knife is so good, even if the technology is immature and cannot be promoted in the whole army, it cannot be denied that it is a good knife.
In fact, before he got it to the court, he had already seen these weapons and tried them. The heavy texture in his hand seems to tell him, how much power you have, use it!
He seemed to be able to see the re-equipped army standing on the opposite side of Yin Mountain, which was higher than the sky.
Meng Tian has worked hard!
No matter how many reasons anyone has for saying this or that, they cannot negate Meng Tian's efforts in the army's combat effectiveness.
It's a blessing to get such a general!
However, it is difficult to control such a general.
He can't give the Meng family any more rewards, for them, for the imperial court, for the emperor's position, too much praise is not a good thing.
Seeing that Fusu was very happy, he shook his head in his heart, he is thirty years old, he will not hide his emotions, how will he take on great responsibilities in the future?
Those who are superior must distinguish between right and wrong, but they must not be simple-minded.
How many people opposite him every day want to touch him, influence him, and drive him with their words and deeds, without the slightest ingenuity?
He turned his head and asked Zhao Gao: "Zhao Gao, you are an expert in weapons, what do you think of this thing?" β
Zhao Gao bowed down and said, "The minister was very competent just now, although it was unfamiliar, but he felt that the power was greatly increased, and he could use the strength on his body." β
"Then what do you think of Meng Tian's suggestion?"
Zhao Gao thought for a while and said: "Zhao Gao thinks things are good things, and ideas are also good ideas. Just now I listened to the thoughts of Li Xiang and the eldest prince, and I felt that one victory was safe, and the other victory was positive. Zhao Gao also had no choice. But it's a pity that such a good thing is not promoted and buried. It's better to try it out in the palace guard for a while, and then update the weapon in batches according to the conditions. What do you think, Your Majesty? β
Fusu and Li Si invariably scolded in their hearts: "Sycophant! β
The emperor smiled, really smiled. This Zhao Gao is really a wonderful person!
He turned his head to Lang Zhongling Qi Mao, who was in charge of the palace guards, and said, "Look, after discussing for a long time, good things have fallen on your head, have you gone out to see the yellow calendar today?" β
Qi Mao hurriedly stepped forward and bent over and bowed his hand, it is rare for the emperor to talk to his courtiers like this, today is really a magpie Dengmei.
"The minister must do this well quickly, please rest assured that the emperor. When it is fully equipped, please ask the emperor to come and guide it during the drill. β
The emperor nodded, looked at Fusu again, and said to everyone: "No matter how well the palace defense is done, it can't deter the Huns." Because they don't know. Therefore, the Union decided to reorganize a team in the defenders of Shangjun first, with 500 knights, 200 chariots and soldiers, and 1,000 officers. In this way, we experimented first, found deficiencies and then improved. It also allows Meng Tian to slowly cultivate talents and train the team, so as not to be in a hurry and make mistakes in a hurry. β
Everyone nodded their heads and discussed them, and they all felt that this matter was feasible, both prudent and economical, positive and calm.
"Fusu, you stay for a while. Disperse all of you! β
When the others heard this, they hurriedly put on their clothes and bowed down.
When everyone left, Fusu got up from the ground, and his father had been watching him for a while.
"Come and speak."
Fusu stepped forward. My father's attitude was quite kind.
"Come, let's sit down and talk."
Fusu knelt and sat on the west side of the case, and his father and emperor also sat down opposite.
"Fusu, do you know that Meng Tian opened a coal mine in Shangjun?"
Fusu was stunned, nodded, and said calmly: "Erchen knows that he has this idea, but Erchen has not taken concrete action when he leaves from Shangjun. β
"Does that coal mine have anything to do with you?"
Fusu said frankly: "It has a relationship, what I said at the beginning was to jointly open the mine." But he is there all the year round, which is convenient for business, and his son doesn't care about anything when he is in Xianyang. β
"Aren't you going to send a representative?"
Fusu was stunned for a moment and said, "Father, my son believes in General Meng. In his son's heart, his son is already a prince, and it is useless to ask for so much money, so he doesn't care about the accounts. And when General Meng and his son were concluding this matter, they didn't pay attention to how much interest there was, but wanted to make good use of the iron ore and blacksmith shop in Fushi to solve the maintenance and renewal of the weapons of the huge garrison. β
The corner of the First Emperor's eyes narrowed, and he shook his head in his heart. He can see Fusu's openness, but he doesn't have the slightest suspicion or wariness of people, which is a little immature.
Fusu saw that his father stopped talking, and his heart was a little drumming, and he didn't know what his father's true intention was when he asked this? Is it just a matter of concern? Do you have unwarranted concerns?
He asked a little uneasily, "Father, don't you like your sons to get involved in business?" Erchen and General Meng said that the tax should be paid a lot of money, and the local management also cooperated, and nothing would happen and lose the royal dignity. β
The emperor shook his head and said: "My son is disgusted with some money, how can I be unhappy when I am old?" Besides, it's a good thing to be able to open a coal mine, and I hope that coal can be found near Xianyang. β
Fusu wanted to ask, but he didn't know what to ask, how to ask, so he looked at his father suspiciously.
The emperor also said: "The emperor is not afraid of his courtiers getting rich, and the wealth of the world must always be enjoyed by the people of the world, but it just so happens that he is a courtier." There is just one point, my father wants to remind you that being a courtier who is too greedy for money may delay his career, which is what worries his father. β
Fusu nodded and said, "Erchen knows." I don't think General Meng will be too greedy, he already has what the Meng family wants, and no matter how much he wants, it will be a burden. β
The emperor raised his head and smiled, he didn't think his son's words were ridiculous, but his son's words were too naΓ―ve, how could he feel that people's hearts were endless?
But he did not intend to use these words to warn his son, he was already thirty years old, and only the lessons of life could make him understand that the words of education were too light for him.
In his heart, he is really not afraid that officials will have such and such problems, and if they have problems, he can warn him and deal with them, and they will not covet anything else if they are greedy for money. For Meng Tian, he was far from worrying about money.
"Fusu, do you have any contact with Li You?"
Fusu shook his head and said, "He only came back during his spring vacation." β
"Well, you played well with him when you were a kid, and he was very good at taking you to play."
Fusu lowered his head embarrassedly, smiled, and said, "He fights better than his son!" β
"Haha, he's amazing, so let him guard Sanchuan County!"
Father's voice echoed in the room, so hearty, Fusu also smiled, Father is really happy today. "Father, don't stay in the house all the time in winter, you can be more active, it's good for your health."
"Well, I feel very relaxed these days, and sometimes Zhao Gao accompanies the activities."
It's Zhao Gao again, and Fusu really doesn't like it in his heart.
"Fusu, I heard that there is a thing called chess, do you know how to play it?"
Fusu nodded and said, "I can play." β
"Hmph, I don't tell you sooner if I know how to play. I have to take Zhao Gao, an outsider, first! β
Fusu was embarrassed, but he didn't know how to answer this. But he also knew that it was not a serious reproach when he said it.
After a slight pause, he said: "It's not that the son didn't think of his father, but he felt that his father was the monarch of the world...... and the son originally wanted his father to exercise more, instead of sitting down and staying still ......for a long time. cough, the son didn't explain, in short, the son didn't think of it first. β
The emperor smiled, Fusu's embarrassment made him feel that his son was sincere and true again, and what he was most afraid of was that the courtiers he faced would always look thoughtful and calm.
"Don't leave today, play chess with my father."
