Isn't one article equal to giving it away for nothing?

Steward Xiao looked embarrassed: "Li Shu is just worried about the lack of arrows, so he borrows them from each other on weekdays." One article and one arrow, such good deeds are naturally for the benefit of the people. It's just one penny, and the blacksmith doesn't have enough money. ”

Xiao Zhan next to him also replied: "That's true, a good bow is generally 500 wen, and the worst bow is 100 wen." The arrow is 20 to 50 wen, and even the arrow should be at least 10 wen. ”

Xining immediately asked: "How much does it cost to charter a blacksmith shop and supply ten arrows for each person in the city?" ”

Belch...... The county lord is really rich and capricious, and the blacksmith thinks that there is little money, so he simply charters a blacksmith shop.

Steward Xiao quickly reported the number: "The average master is ten taels of silver per month, the little master is three or five taels of silver per month, the apprentice is about one tael, a shop, at least one master and one little master, generally a father and son shop." There are also various expenses such as firewood, and three or five taels of silver are enough. If you are willing to waive the rent for one month, for the sake of the county lord is the owner, twenty taels is enough. ”

Xining nodded: "Then give twenty taels and specially cast arrows." Only people in Linyi County can buy it, and it is only available for one month. Arrows are not allowed to be taken out of the city, and after they are used up, they can be repurchased for a penny and re-melted into iron ingots for storage. Then go to the county magistrate Zhou and hand over a hundred taels of silver, and say that the officers and soldiers at the door should watch closely, and those who dare to bring the arrows out without permission will be punished for fornicating with the Huns! ”

Steward Xiao saluted: "The county lord is thoughtful, and he is really happy and convinced." Just ......"

Xining smiled: "Say, don't give a sugar before drinking the medicine." ”

Steward Xiao also smiled: "Then I'll say it directly, this time the iron ingots have been transported in total, and all the people in Linyi County will add up, and there will be a maximum of more than 1,000 people." One arrow and a half two irons, ten arrows per person for a thousand people, and ten thousand arrows only need five or six hundred catties of iron. The remaining iron is easy to rust after being stored for a long time, and it needs to be taken care of by a special person. Anointed and guarded daily. ”

"That's it~" Xining turned to ask: "Hey, outside, what kind of knife and gun are not considered privately made weapons?" If you can say it, I will give you five taels of silver. ”

The man outside said happily, "Think about it." ”

Steward Xiao smiled bitterly, this county lord is really good at spending money, if he doesn't do business, how can he afford to spend money like water.

A month later, in the Xuanzheng Palace, Liu Biao saw the King of Han kneeling and saluting. He raised his head and said: "The minister has a performance, impeaching the head of Changping County for forming a party for personal gain, raising dead soldiers, and privately making weapons, and there is a suspicion of rebellion." ”

King Han sat there and watched like this, and after a while: "Uncle Huang seems to have no relationship with Changping, how did he think of impeaching her today?" ”

Liu Biao's old face was tense and upright, and he saluted: "Although the minister has no past with the county lord of Changping, he has to say it when he hears about it." It is the duty of a minister to admonish him, not to mention such a serious crime, His Majesty has to find out. ”

King Han sat there like this, and after a while, he laughed suddenly: "Did Uncle Huang have a grudge with someone recently?" ”

Liu Biao didn't know what King Han was laughing at, and he was still upright: "The minister has always been not afraid of the powerful and the righteous, and he doesn't know who to grudge with, and he is not afraid of who to grudge with." But why did Your Majesty say this? ”

King Han picked up the bamboo slips on the table and said with a smile: "This matter is known to Lone, this is a letter written by Changping to Lone." said that there are many dead soldiers, secret agents, and meticulous works in the house, and from sweeping servants to personal maids around her, all of them are equipped with stunts and hidden secrets. ”

Liu Biao was startled and his eyes widened: "She confessed?" ”

"Confession?" King Han smiled again and picked up the bamboo slip: "You can see for yourself." ”

The big chamberlain took it with both hands and handed it to Liu Biao, who was kneeling in front of him.

Liu Biao took it and read it, and it was indeed written like this, and the words at the back read: "The courtiers don't know, and they don't inquire who sent them." The courtiers knew that it was the uncles and princes who were sympathetic to the young and helpless courtiers, so they sent so many people to protect them secretly. In order to avoid suspicion, the courtiers don't ask, but thank you uncles for taking care of the courtiers. The courtiers have nothing to repay, only during the New Year's Festival, when they burn incense to worship their ancestors, please bless their ancestors, and wish the Han Yongchang and the Liu family a safe and smooth life. ”

Well, these dead spies turned out to be not from the county lord of Changping, but sent to spy on her! No wonder King Han laughed just now, and he held it back for a while, and he couldn't help laughing, there must be someone he sent inside.

The people in the entire mansion are basically the same, the county lord of Changping knows about it, the king of Han knows, everyone knows, but he doesn't know.

As a result, he knew about it, and he came to impeach the county magistrate of Changping......

No, hold on!

Liu Biao then said: "Weichen never raises the dead, so he only knows one of them, but he doesn't know the other, please ask Your Majesty to surrender the crime." But what about the private weapons made by the lord of Changping County? ”

King Han explained: "Linyi County is going to hold an archery competition, Changping wants to have fun with the people and more people to participate, so he bought some iron, and after asking craftsmen to make it, all the people in Changling County can buy ten arrows, one penny." All arrows are not allowed to be taken out of the county, and after the game is over, they can be recovered and recast into iron ingots. ”

Liu Biao immediately grasped the point: "But Guchen learned that not only arrows were cast, but other weapons were also cast. Casting in large quantities is a casting knife! ”

The sword is a weapon, and it is not allowed to be made in large quantities, which is a great sin.

"Casting a knife...... King Han didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and turned to the big chamberlain next to him: "The knife cast by the county lord of Changping seems to have been brought over as well, you can take it and show it to Liu Yushi." ”

The big chamberlain bent down and bowed his head: "Yes, Your Majesty." "Stand down, go get it.

What? Even the knives were brought.

Liu Biao is a little unconfident, it seems that the matter of the county lord of Changping has been told to King Han, if King Han does not agree, how can she continue?

It seems that when he passed by and heard the two officials discussing, they were all taken out of context, and they were probably really set up for him to drill. Otherwise, King Han wouldn't have asked if he had a grudge with anyone in the near future.

After a while, the big chamberlain held a lacquer plate, put a knife on the plate, and respectfully put it in front of Liu Biao.

There is indeed a knife on the plate...... Liu Biao stared at the knife: "...... is this?" ”

The big chamberlain tried to hold back a smile, but couldn't help but turn the corners of his mouth up. However, he is usually a smiling tiger, and his professional habitual face seems to be smiling all the time, smiling lightly, smiling and smiling.

He replied: "Liu Yushi, this is a kitchen knife." ”

Kitchen knife? Liu Biao picked up the kitchen knife and said in a lost voice: "So small, what can you do?" ”

The total length of the kitchen knife is only the size of a palm, and the handle is the same as other kitchen knives, which is very thin, and can be used with a wooden handle. But this kitchen knife is too small, and it is not enough to cut a small melon, but it can cut grapes and small pastries.

But do you need to cut grapes and pastries?
