After reporting to Zhu Youzhen about the Shenji Battalion, Li Xiu took the opportunity to propose that he had improved the effect of the bird gun, and suggested that the armament be reorganized and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion equipped with such a big killing weapon.

"If this gun is really as Aiqing, it is debatable. However, "

After a series of things, Zhu Youzhen now trusts his ability very much. He pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "Now the imperial court is the time to use soldiers, although this gun is good, the cost is expensive, how can you wait a few years, the treasury can only be developed after it is abundant." ”

"The minister understands!"

Li Xiu's face darkened, and he replied.

Zhu Youzhen saw that he showed a disappointed look, and he didn't want to chill his fist, so he smiled and said with relief: "Aiqing is loyal, I understand." Rest easy, and this can be done after I have expelled the captives and put down the civil strife. ”

When Li Xiu heard this, he felt a little guilty in his heart. Zhu Youzhen trusts himself so much, but he is fooling him and secretly plotting something rebellious, which is really a betrayal of his trust.

But history is like this, even without himself, is his throne secure?

Perhaps, with his trust in himself, he can make some suggestions, but the officials of the Manchu Dynasty will inevitably block them. Those people, except for infighting, have nothing to do at all.

Isn't the fall of the Ming Dynasty in history their inaction?

Thinking of this, Li Xiu strengthened his belief again, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, actually"

Zhu Youzhen saw that he was halfway through his words, frowned and said, "You have something to say, but I still can't listen to the truth?" ”

Li Xiu was greatly encouraged, and said solemnly: "The minister has a way to equip the Shenji Battalion with this gun, and he doesn't need to pay a penny from the treasury!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up, and he urged: "You come carefully." ”

"Your Majesty's approval is still needed for this matter."

Li Xiu paused before he said slowly: "If you want to purge the armament, it is nothing more than a word of wealth. We don't have any money, so why don't we just make it? ”

"Although there is no business or treachery, the way of collecting money by businessmen does have its merits. Then, if Your Majesty wants to make money, business is the best way! ”

After listening to these loud words, Zhu Youzhen groaned a little for a while. I had to, Li Xiu's suggestion touched him deeply.

However, the Ming Dynasty had a strict hierarchy, and the so-called Shinong industry and commerce knew that the status of the merchants was not high, and they belonged to the "lower nine streams" untouchables, and they were very discriminated against.

Now, this Li Xiu is actually outspoken, encouraging himself to do such a "cheap" thing, and he can figure it out.

If in the past, if someone dared to test Zhu You in the same way, the fine for one year would be considered light. But at this moment, Li Xiu's words made him quite moved.

This is also unthinkable Zhu Youzhen's indifference, now the imperial court can't even pay the military salary, if you are still not moved by the silver, isn't it a fool?

Zhu Youzhen pondered for a long time before he sighed and said: "As the king of a country, the Son of Heaven should not compete with the people for profit, and Aiqing should not mention this matter again." ”

It is normal for Zhu Youjian to have some concerns.

Everything was expected by Li Xiu!

He took a deep breath and said, "The minister understands His Majesty's difficulties! If His Majesty can trust Wechen, this matter can be handed over to Wechen to handle, and he will definitely not let others know about it. ”

At this point, Li Xiu knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "If someone notices and uses this to embarrass Your Majesty, Your Majesty can put all the fault on the minister." Sinner, let me do it! ”

What is a loyal servant?

The person in front of me is the most loyal courtier!

Zhu Youzhen was greatly moved, stood up from the dragon chair, walked down to help Li Xiu with his own hands, patted the back of his hand and said, "Your loyalty, I understand." I have full authority to you to handle this matter, and if something happens, I will bear it for you! ”

Great things can be done!

However, he had to do a full set of things, and Li Xiu hurriedly said: "How can Weichen be so loved by His Majesty?" This matter is very important, and it is difficult for a minister to take on this position, so I ask Your Majesty to send someone to handle this matter with me. ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this. In his opinion, Li Xiu's father is a businessman, and since he can propose to do business, he must be sure to make money, and he doesn't need the help of others at all.

So, what does he mean to find someone to supervise him? Prevent him from being greedy for ink?

That's an anomaly!

Zhu Youzhen found that he couldn't see through Li Xiu. Others are afraid of being tied up and want to be in power, but he is willing to take the initiative to let people supervise him?

"Aiqing thinks, who should I send to inquire about this matter?"

"It's up to Your Majesty to decide, but"

Li Xiu raised his head, looked at Cao Huachun who was waiting on the side, and quickly closed his gaze, and said, "The minister thinks that the master of ceremonies can take on this important responsibility!" ”

Li Xiu's move naturally fell in the eyes of Zhu Youzhen and Cao Huachun. He made such a move on purpose.

Why did the celebrant come forward?

Because Cao Huachun is deeply favored by the saints, he is the chief eunuch of the celebrant eunuch!

Li Xiu's purpose was to show favor to Cao Huachun. And such a move is not clear in Zhu Youzhen's eyes, and it will not cause him too many scruples.

I glanced at him, just to know that I have a good impression of him, and I believe that I can cooperate happily with him, which is not illegal, right?

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Cao Huachun, who was also someone he could trust. Xin said: "This matter was also mentioned by Li Xiu, which shows that he has a clear conscience, and the celebrant is indeed suitable to handle this matter." ”

After thinking about this, he instructed Cao Huachun: "Big companion, this matter will be handled by you and Li Aiqing!" ”

Cao Huachun glanced at Li Xiu, bowed down and said, "The old slave obeys the order!" ”

Zhu Youzhen patted Li Xiu's shoulder again and encouraged: "In this matter, there is Lao Aiqing!" ”

"Minister, obey!"

Li Xiu knew that his "royal business" was already a certainty. But the matter is not over yet, and the military power is not yet required. He continued, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. ”

"What else?"

"Your Majesty, the Shenji Battalion must be rectified after this matter."

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

For the sake of the military power of the Shenji Battalion, it is out!

Li Xiu knelt on the ground again, and solemnly kowtowed: "The minister is brave, I want to create an elite division for Your Majesty, please allow Your Majesty!" ”

Want military power?

This is not only Zhu Youzhen, but even Cao Huachun was shocked: "This Li Xiu is really bold enough, if he dares to come out of this kind of thing, isn't he afraid of provoking Long Yan's anger?" ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "This matter, Rong Zhen thinks about it, you should step back first." ”

"Minister, retire."

Li Xiu still understands the principle of moderation. This can't get the Shenji Battalion, so I'll wait for next time. Zhu Youzhen is good enough for himself, and there is no need to suffer from gains and losses.

After watching Li Xiu's figure disappear at the door, Zhu You asked in a loud voice, "Big Companion, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Cao Huachun thought for a while and said, "The old slave doesn't dare to say much about this matter. ”

Zhu Youzhen glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "I forgive you for your innocence!" ”

"This"

Li Xiu just flattered himself, so naturally he couldn't go too far. Cao Huachun hesitated for a moment before continuing: "The old slave thinks that Li Xiu is an upright person and should be able to take on this important responsibility. (To be continued.) )
