Li Su walked out of the main hall, looked back at the Wu mother and daughter who were talking and laughing, and suddenly felt like a big stone was missing in his heart, after all, no matter how he said it, he took Wu Meiniang captive, he was really sorry for Mrs. Yang, and over the years, he has not been able to tell the other party the news that Wu Meiniang is still alive, which makes Li Su feel a little guilty in his heart, and now Mrs. Yang has finally seen Mei Niang, and she will live on the foundation for a long time in the future, which also gives him the opportunity to make up for the damage to the old man.

After leaving Wu Meiniang's small courtyard, Li Su came to the front yard of the palace again, where many courtyards were prepared for guests, among which Li Zhen and Li Yun were arranged to rest here. But now Li Yun's princess and Wen Xin are visiting the palace together, Wu Meiniang is happy to see the second sister, and she may not come back tonight, so now Li Yun and Li Zhen have no one around, and when Li Yun finds them, the two are drinking tea in the garden in the front yard to relieve their hangover.

Although Li Zhen pretended to be drunk before, he did drink a lot, and when he came back, he lay down for a while, but he couldn't sleep, so he simply got up, ran to Li Yun and pulled him up, and then the two came to the front garden to drink tea.

"Eighth brother, I think there seems to be something going on between you and the sixth brother, otherwise, with the amount of alcohol you drink, I'm afraid you won't get drunk even if I'm drunk, and looking at you now, it doesn't look like you're drunk at all." Li Yun looked at Li Zhen with a smile, when he was at the banquet before, he saw that something was wrong with Li Zhen and the sixth brother Li Zhen, but since they didn't say it, he didn't want to ask much, and now there were only two people, he and Li Zhen, so he asked.

When Li Zhen heard this, she smiled and said, "Seventh brother, don't ask, I guess the sixth brother is being scolded now." ”

Li Yun was even more confused after hearing this, the sixth brother Li Yun was the master here. And the whole of Taiwan is his territory, who dares to scold him? Even if you turn over the entire Datang. I am afraid that there are very few people who are qualified to scold him, and these people are still in Chang'an. In this way, who else dares to scold Li Su?

Seeing that Li Yun didn't understand, Li Zhen didn't explain, it wasn't that he didn't trust Li Yun, but that this matter was too sensitive, so naturally the fewer people knew, the better.

And at this moment, Li Su finally found them, and walked into the pavilion with a big laugh and said, "Why, you two have been on the boat for so many days." I don't know how to go to rest early, why did I come here to drink tea? ”

After hearing this, Li Yun smiled bitterly and said: "The sixth brother still knows that he is distressed, I was about to fall asleep, but the eighth brother had to pull me to drink tea, I really don't know where his spirit came from?" ”

After Li Zhen heard this, she glanced at Li Yun, and then said to Li Yun with a smile: "Sixth brother, don't listen to the seventh brother's nonsense, when I went to look for him just now, he still had the spirit to flirt with his concubine......"

Li Yun heard Li Zhen's words and revealed his lies. and said that he was flirting with his concubine, and immediately pounced with some shame, wanting to stop Li Zhen from talking, but unfortunately Li Zhen was very agile. He smiled and flashed away, and while flashing, he still had time to ask Li Su: "Sixth brother, are your things done?" ”

Li Su nodded with a smile. Then he poured himself a cup of tea, because Li Yun was there. So he didn't say anything either. Li Yun also seemed to only care about blocking Li Zhen's mouth, and didn't ask anything else.

finally waited for Li Yun and Li Zhen to calm down. Li Su put down the teacup at this time, and then said with a smile: "Seventh brother, eighth brother, you can give up everything in the Tang Dynasty and develop overseas like me, I feel very relieved for my brother, I have been ordering people to collect information from Tianzhu, and I have already sent it to you some time ago, and there is some new information during this time, I will let people send it to you in a while, and if you have any difficulties, just mention it to me, as long as I can help, I will not refuse!" ”

At the banquet just now, the three of them talked about some private matters, and now they really talked about business.

As soon as Li Yun and Li Zhen heard Li Zhen's words, they immediately sat up straight, and Li Zhen was the first to speak: "Thank you, Sixth Brother, the information you gave us has helped us a lot, as for the difficulty......

When Li Zhen said this, he glanced at Li Yun, and then spoke: "As for the difficulties, there are indeed a lot of difficulties, the most important of which is that we need a batch of firearms, including artillery, muskets and grenades, and some sabers, leather armor and other ordnance, which also need to be purchased from the sixth brother." ”

"Firearms?" Li Su frowned after hearing this, he didn't know that Li Shimin leased the firearms unit of the Tang Dynasty to Li Zhen and Li Yun, so he was a little puzzled, "It's no problem for you to ask for grenades, but muskets and artillery need professional troops, and it takes a lot of time to train, at least half a year to become an army, you don't have time at all, in addition, you have very few Han troops in your hands, and the rest are grassland people, you don't want to train these grassland people into firearms troops, right?" ”

Li Su has a vigilant attitude towards those ethnic groups other than the Han nationality, even if he implements the policy of sinicization in his territory, but before those foreign races are completely integrated into the Han nationality, he will never hand over important forces to them, such as the formation of firearms troops, the most important one is that all soldiers must be Han Chinese.

Li Yun and Li Zhen were a little proud after hearing this, and Li Yun then smiled and said: "Sixth brother, you don't know, now we have a ready-made firearms unit in our hands, but because this unit is relatively special, it is still in Chang'an, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach Taiwan in three months." ”

Li Yun said, and told Li Shimin about agreeing to lease the Tang firearms troops, but Li Su shouted injustice after hearing this, when he attacked Silla and Baekje, he only rented ordinary troops from Zhang Jian, but now that the two younger brothers are out, Li Shimin has taken out the golden firearms troops, and they are also sons, how can the treatment be different?

However, for Li Su's grievances, Li Zhen and Li Yun both pouted, who in the entire Tang Dynasty doesn't know, their father's favorite is the sixth brother in front of him, not to mention anything else, just a policy of letting the sixth brother immigrate, which makes their brothers blush, but unfortunately the population of Datang is not large now, and a Li Su immigration has made many ministers dissatisfied, if the two of them are added, it will definitely lead to the impeachment of the ministers.

Li Su was naturally not really jealous, just a little joke, but seeing that the two younger brothers did not give face, he also smiled a little embarrassedly, and then put away his smile and said: "Okay, since you all already have a firearms unit, if you need any firearms, you make a list, and I will ask you to quote a price, but you must be mentally prepared, all firearms are not cheap, even if I only need a cost price, but it is definitely not a small amount." ”

As soon as they heard Li Zhen's words, Li Yun and Li Zhen immediately looked bitter, and Li Zhen even cried and said: "Sixth brother, you also know that our brothers, those industries in the house are still following you to earn some pocket money, although we sold all those industries this time, but we are poor and white overseas, we need money for everything, just raising various materials has already spent a large part, and there is really not much left, so do you see if you can give the brothers a batch of firearms?" ”

Li Su couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and said very helplessly: "Eighth brother, if you want food, cloth and other things, then it's nothing to give to you, but firearms are not ordinary weapons, and I also know that the artillery and musketeers in my father's hands, if you all lease them, then at least two hundred artillery pieces and five thousand muskets will be needed, and I don't have any inventory in my hands now, if I want to arm all your firearms troops, then I have to give you the firearms in my own troops first. And so many artillery pieces and muskets, together they cost at least more than one million, so much money is also a huge amount for me, and I can't afford to give it away for my brother! ”

"Hiss~" As soon as they heard the cost of the firearms they needed, Li Zhen and Li Yun also gasped, they only knew that firearms were expensive and there were not many troops equipped, but they didn't expect it to be so expensive, more than one million yuan, which is also a huge number for Datang, not to mention the two poor princes.

Seeing Li Zhen and Li Yun looking dejected, but he was smiling secretly in his heart, there was some water in what he said just now, last year the Perak Academy developed a new type of musket and musket, although it has not changed much from the old one, but it is easier to operate than the original, and the accuracy has increased, so during this time, his firearms unit is changing clothes, and the replaced firearms can just be given to Li Zhen and Li Yun, but although it is an old firearm, it is actually very well maintained, and the price is a little exaggerated, But at most, it has increased by one or two percent in the real price. And the reason why he said this naturally had his plans.

"Sixth brother, one million guan is too expensive, to tell you the truth, this time I and the seventh brother only prepared a total of one and a half million guan, and most of them were replaced with materials, and there is not much cash, although my uncle helped me prepare some money, but those are the expenses of the army after preparing to Tianzhu, the construction of fortresses and other expenses, and now I can't move it at all!" Li Zhen complained again. And Li Yun next to him also smiled bitterly.

Li Su saw that the time was almost up, and he lowered his head as if he was thinking about something, and after a long while, he suddenly raised his head and said: "That's it, the sixth brother also knows that it is not easy for you, and you are also taking a big risk when you go to Tianzhu this time, so this time the sixth brother is in charge, so I will give you the firearm in my hand!" ”

Li Su said, pretending to be very sad and waving his hand, as if someone had cut a piece of flesh from his body.

Hearing that Li Yun gave them the firearms, Li Zhen and Li Yun were both overjoyed, but seeing Li Su's sad appearance, they were a little embarrassed, among which Li Yun said: "Sixth brother, otherwise we should pay some money, otherwise we will not be happy in our hearts." ”

I'm waiting for your words! Li Yu secretly rejoiced in his heart, although he wanted to help Li Zhen and Li Yun, but letting him send out 800,000 firearms at once was enough to make him feel distressed for a long time. In fact, although Li Zhen and Li Yun do not have the ability to pay this money now, it does not mean that they will not have it in the future, at least in front of them, there is a huge treasure.
