For the passion for money, no one is more crazy than Li Lingyue.

But what Qin Shaoyou was thinking about was spending money.

It is gratifying to solve Wu Sansi, but Qin Shaoyou feels the seriousness of his crisis even more.

In fact, at first, the Wei family placed Wu Sansi to balance Qin Shaoyou, as long as Wu Sansi did not directly fiddle with the matter of repairing the river, Qin Shaoyou was willing to tolerate it.

Because as analyzed by Wang Ju, the staff of the Shence Mansion, and even Qin Shaoyou's most important right-hand man, Wu Sansi is in Henan, although there are many disadvantages, but there is one benefit, that is, it can make the court feel at ease, so Wu Sansi is just a little stumbling block every once in a while, and the Shence Mansion can completely tolerate him, so that the court can also feel at ease, and the Wei family will not be anxious to attack the Shence Mansion.

However, Nawu Sansi was in a hurry to behave in front of the Wei family, which directly touched the fundamental interests of the Shence Mansion, and it had reached the point where he had to get rid of it quickly, so Qin Shaoyou made the worst choice.

Once the national security department in later generations detected the spy, they often did not rush to arrest it, because they knew that since this person had been exposed, then his behavior was controllable, and if it was cut off at this time, the other party would only send another spy, and no one knew his identity and whereabouts, so it was better to keep this person whose identity had been exposed. Unless, the other party has done something extremely harmful, then it is necessary to prevent it from happening.

Now that Wu Sansi is dead, the imperial court has only made one Di Renjie to 'check and balance', which is obviously useless for the Wei family.

In this case, the Wei family must begin to be uneasy, and once their uneasiness intensifies, who can guarantee what the next means will be?

Now that the Wei family's methods have become unknown, the only way is to strengthen themselves.

The recruitment of the Shence Army has been put in the foreground, and the large-scale casting of artillery has begun. Originally, the size of the Shence Army was eight thousand, but now Qin Shaoyou has a plan to double the Shence Army, at least, this force must be able to hold Henan Mansion. In addition, for the sake of local law and order and to assist the Shence Army, a so-called Henan Solidarity Battalion also began to recruit. After all, the Shence Army is too lavish to spend money, raising a 10,000-person Shence Army is enough to raise more than 100,000 government soldiers, this kind of elite, the biggest role is to go into battle to fight, but if it is used elsewhere, it will become a chicken to kill with a knife, this unity battalion, with the model of government soldiers. Naturally, the treatment would be better than that of ordinary government soldiers, and all the military attachés were also selected from the retired officers and soldiers of the Shence Army, numbering 20,000, and their main duty was to handle local affairs, patrol trade routes, and guard various land and water points. If necessary, it can also implicate the civil rebellion.

In order to recruit soldiers. At one time, the Shence Mansion moved out seven million yuan of money and food, as for the manpower, the Shence Army is not a problem, and now the children of good families are proud to be able to join the Shence Army. So when the news came out, there was a rush to it, on the other hand, it was a solidarity camp, although it was recruited for some time, the effect was not very good. Only more than 3,000 people have been recruited, and that's it...... There are still a lot of old, weak, sick and disabled people in it, anyway, the unity camp is not in a hurry for the time being, so Qin Shaoyou didn't put too much thought into it, just take your time.

The casting of artillery has become the crux of the matter.

Now with the birth of artillery, and because the Shence Mansion attaches great importance to artillery, it has recruited a large number of skilled craftsmen here and invested a lot of money, so all kinds of artillery have become diverse.

Artillery has a wide range of uses, one is field artillery, this kind of artillery must be light, but once light, because the level of steel and iron making is limited, so the power and range are much lower.

There is also a kind of artillery that is fixed on the position, which is often huge in size, weighing tens of tons at every turn, so it is also powerful, but it is difficult to move.

There is also a cannon placed on the city wall, because it is too large, and the recoil will damage the city wall, so it is more compromised.

In addition, the loading of ammunition has also become diverse, from solid round bullets that are specially used for attacking fortifications, submunitions that are more versatile, and flowering bullets that are trying to create horror and damage, and so on.

Now the artillery workshop near Mengjin Port is located on the side of the newly built canal, which is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter and exit, in the past, it was relatively leisurely, because the technology of artillery urgently needs to be improved, so even the latest artillery, it is only a small-scale manufacture, and now, the demand in the army is increasing, and the power of artillery is increasing, and the use of artillery in the army has begun to be frequent.

Today, work is carried out almost day and night, and countless cannons are made and transported by boat through the canals.

The Shence Army governs the unity battalion, and the unity battalion is different from the Shence Army, the Shence Army only needs everyone to be locked in the camp, and the drill is the so-called raising troops for a thousand days and using the troops for a while, and the drills of the unity battalion are not as good as the Shence Army, because their tasks are more diverse, such as in order to control the counties of Henan, so in each county, the Shence Mansion has set up outposts, and the military horses of the unity battalion are stationed in various places, in addition, there are docks, treasury, and checkpoints, all of which need to be garrisoned, and the Shence Mansion has planned to arrange many posts and positions in various parts of Henan Province, As a result, the Solidarity Battalion has now become a place where there is a greater demand for artillery.

Qin Shaoyou has been in the army for the past few days, watching the training of recruits, and occasionally participating in the improvement of the infantry drill method in the army by some military attachés.

In Qin Shaoyou's opinion, this is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the entire Henan Mansion, and it must not be careless.

Wu Sansi died.

Wu Sansi's death was only introduced to Ziwei Palace after half a month.

Since the death of Wu Sansi, Wei Zhengde, who was guarding the palace, was like a great enemy, and he was even more vigilant against Wu Zetian in Ziwei Palace, and almost all eunuchs and female officials who entered and exited had to be searched and inspected.

This Ziwei Palace is almost isolated from the outside world, Shangguan Wan'er is also accustomed to this, the news from the outside world is often Shangguan Wan'er guessed from the face of some forbidden soldiers, such as the ban is strict again, there must be something serious, Wei Zhengde has not appeared at the gate of the inner palace for several days, why is this?

When Wu Sansi's death was confirmed, Shangguan Wan'er was silent, and it was not until the night that she quietly went to the dormitory, Wu Zetian seemed to be waiting for her, she was in the dark, through the faint light, looked at Shangguan Wan'er with a bright look, and said word by word: "What happened?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Wu Zetian deeply, and she seemed to be a little hesitant.

Wu Sansi, after all, is His Majesty's nephew, although this nephew is not angry...... But......

She sighed in her heart, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, His Majesty's son-in-law killed her nephew, this may be ...... It's also a kind of sadness......

After thinking about it, Shangguan Wan'er said, "Your Majesty...... His Royal Highness King Liang is dead......"

Wu Zetian's face remained unchanged, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said word by word: "Dead?" ”

"It's dead."

Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile faintly: "Sure enough, it is self-inflicted and cannot live, I have long known that there will be today, so what about Qin Shaoyou, he killed King Liang, is it ...... No...... No...... Qin Shaoyou seems to be reckless, but in fact he is cautious, he will never let himself die with Wu Sansi. This guy really didn't disappoint...... Hehe...... Looks like we're going to have fun. Wan'er, one of the things I regret the most is the martial arts family...... These people have not achieved enough things, but they have more than enough failures. And what I am most proud of is that I have recognized a son-in-law, this person is not an ordinary person, not to be underestimated, not to be underestimated. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian actually brightened and said, "The Wei family...... At this time, it must be shaken, Qin Shaoyou killed Wu Sansi, which means that the Wei family has completely lost control of Henan, and their court ...... At this time, you must start to feel uneasy, who ...... As long as they are uneasy, they have to do something out of the ordinary, maybe not at the moment, but when they come back to their senses completely, this big drama will begin. Wan'er, do you know how this scene will play out next? ”

Shangguan Wan'er saw Wu Zetian's face excited, this excitement seemed to be out of Wu Zetian's heart, in the past two years, Wu Zetian, who was fasting and reciting Buddha, had long since disappeared from this look, but now once it was revealed, Shangguan Wan'er understood that this quiet life had completely ended, and next, there was another bloody storm.

She couldn't help but miss the comfortable and quiet days of the past two years, but she seemed to have some expectations for the future, the women of the Tang Dynasty were always unwilling to settle down, she raised her eyes, and by the glimmer, she had already seen the ambition in Wu Zetian's eyes that could not be concealed.

Wu Zetian said lightly: "Next, it is the most important point, the Wei family needs an excuse, this excuse ...... It's in Luoyang Palace, and Qin Shaoyou also needs an excuse, and this excuse will also be in Luoyang Palace...... Wan'er, you see, the current inch of land under your feet, in time, will be the most eye-catching focus in the world, and I ......"

Wu Zetian's expression was calm: "Whether it is fate hanging by a thread, or whether it is the world, it depends on that time, that day...... It's coming...... It's close...... It's close...... Wan'er, take a good look, and see whose world is here. ”
