Since he wanted to transport small cannonballs to Western Xia, Zhao Shuo immediately recruited Liu Zheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Liu Zheng, tell me about the current weapons situation in the arsenal!" Looking at Liu Zheng, Zhao Shuo asked.

It has been several months since the defeat of the Qi army, and although things have been going on during this time, in general, there have been no major wars, so the Chang'an Arsenal has been steadily making weapons. In Zhao Shuo's opinion, it should be possible to accumulate some savings.

"Lord Qiqi, there are now more than 2,000 small cannonballs and more than 500 muskets in the arsenal." Liu Zheng said respectfully.

"What?" Zhao Shuo was a little angry when he heard it, because this amount was too different from what he guessed. "Do you think you can be lazy without a big war? Yes~! ”

"The last general will not dare!" Liu Zheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Don't dare?" Zhao Shuo pointed at Liu Zheng. "This king trusted you to put you in charge of the arsenal, but you disappointed this king too much."

"Lord, the last will be guilty, please punish the prince!" Liu Zhengdao.

"Is it okay to be guilty?" Zhao Shuo got up and walked towards Liu Zheng. "Tell me, why are so few weapons being produced? What the hell is going on? ”

Calming down a little, Zhao Shuo asked the doubts in his heart. This is the focus of the matter, if it is a problem of production, then it is natural to change the method, strategy, and even transfer Lingyun, a professional, back. But if it is called by some people privately, this matter is serious.

"Lord Qiqi, we have no raw materials!" Ling Yun raised his head slightly and said softly.

This time, Zhao Shuo was directly stupid. Because the result was so unexpected to him.

"You don't have any ingredients, you can ask for them!" Zhao Shuo looked at Liu Zheng helplessly. "Don't you know the importance of the production of weapons in the arsenal?"

"This small matter has been run all over Chang'an City, and all the materials that can be obtained have been bought, but it is still not enough." Liu Zheng lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhao Shuo again. "The small one wanted to let people go to Fuzhou Gu County to get materials, but the distance between the two sides was too far, it stands to reason that this matter should be opened nearby, when the small one went to Fu Yin Liu Pei to discuss it a few times, but he just didn't agree. He said that Chang'an City is an ancient capital and a treasure land of feng shui, and if a mine is opened around Chang'an City, it will destroy feng shui and affect the fortune of the prince. So, the small ones had to be bought around...... But what I bought was far from enough, so I ...... And so it ...... It delays the production speed. ”

Liu Zheng said that in the end, because of nervousness, he unconsciously stammered.

Zhao Shuo was speechless, but he couldn't say anything. According to Liu Zheng, this matter really can't be wished Liu Zheng.

The ancients attached great importance to feng shui, especially the emperor, and Liu Pei was worried about destroying feng shui, so he was not allowed to open mines nearby. And Liu Zheng could have reported directly to Zhao Shuo and then opened the mine, but when it came to feng shui, this scared him, so he bought it everywhere without reporting it to Zhao Shuo.

"Mining around Chang'an City and destroying feng shui, then change the land!" After Zhao Shuo figured everything out, he said with a smile.

"Somewhere else?" Liu Zheng raised his head slightly and looked at Zhao Shuo suspiciously.

"Liu Zheng, this king will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions." Zhao Shuo smiled. "Within a month, the king will ask you to discover at least ten mineral deposits."

"Lord Wang, this mineral deposit ......," Liu Zheng asked softly.

"Iron, coal, and black oil, also called oil, are just these three." Zhao Shuo stared at Liu Zheng. "After the ten mineral deposits are found, draw them on the map and send someone to hand them in."

"Little one got it!" Liu Zheng said respectfully, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Shuo again, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Say whatever you want!" Zhao Shuo said.

"Lord Wang, if the little one and the people go to find the mine, what about the arsenal in Chang'an City?" Liu Zheng expressed his doubts.

"The small cannonballs will be put forward first, and this king will be of great use, and the king will take away all the muskets, and as for the remaining 1,000 small cannonballs, this king will send someone to take them little by little. As soon as everything has been taken, you take someone out to look for the mine. Zhao Shuo said.

"Yes!" Liu Zheng saluted.

"Alright, let's go down and get busy!" Zhao Shuo waved his hand, Liu Zheng got up and retreated, Zhao Shuo thought about it and added. "Liu Zheng, if there is anything in the future, tell this king first, you must know that you are not under the control of Fu Yin, but under the control of this king!"

"Keep the little ones in mind!" Liu Zheng saluted again!

After Liu Zheng retreated, Zhao Shuo was fair to Gong Feng. "Gonggong Feng, you go and ask Lin Feng and Ling Yun to take their men to the arsenal and transport out 1,200 small cannonballs, as well as all the muskets."

"Yes!" Gonggong Feng bowed and retreated.

"Fluttershy, go ahead Li Zhong and Xuanhao." After Grandpa Feng leaves, Zhao Shuo says to Fluttershy.

"Slave and maid, go now!" Fluttershy salutes as well.

It doesn't take long for Li Zhong and Xuan to follow Fluttershy in.

"The last general will meet the prince!" As soon as they entered the door, Li Zhong and Xuan Hao saluted at the same time and said.

"I called you here this time to discuss with you the defense of Chang'an City." Zhao Shuo didn't hide it, and said directly. "Zhe Yanzhi was transferred back to Fuzhou by this king, the soldiers of the Qinling generation are now leaderless, this king wants to choose one of you to guard Qinling, you all talk about your opinions."

"Lord Wang, the last general is willing to go." Xuan Yu was the first to speak.

"The last general is willing to go!" Li Zhong frowned, a little reluctant, but when he saw Xuan Xuan speak, he also spoke.

Li Zhong's reaction, how could it escape Zhao Shuo's eyes. "Xuanhao, then you go!"

This is a choice that Zhao Shuo has made a long time ago. Xuan Hao used to follow Ju Zheng to rebel against the Great Song Dynasty, and he had no feelings for the Great Song Dynasty, and he dared to do it at a critical time. But Li Zhong is different, he is Zhao Shuo's guard, and later followed Shi Lance to fight in the south and north, and has been in contact with many generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

"The last general commands!" Xuan Xuan bowed, and then said. "Lord Wang, will the last general go immediately?"

Zhao Shuo nodded. "Zhe Yanzhi has been gone for several days, you should go and take the people of the headquarters to the arsenal to pick up five hundred small cannonballs now, and then go to Qinling to garrison!"

"The Admiral understands!" Xuan Xuan saluted

"When I go, remember the hops, and I'll get some back when I have time, and I'm going to build a hop base somewhere." Zhao Shuo added.

"Lord Wang, what if the Song army attacks this base?" Xuan asked worriedly.

"We don't take the initiative to attack them, if they dare to sneak up on us, you can just do it." Zhao Shuo didn't say it explicitly, but those who understood understood it as soon as they heard it.

"The Admiral knows." Xuan Yu saluted again. "Lord Wang, if there is nothing else, the last general will go and prepare for it, and then go to Qinling."

Zhao Shuo nodded, waved his hand, and bowed away noisily. (To be continued.) )
