Back at the Ministry of War, Du Ruhui impatiently sent an official from the Ministry of War to ask Li Mu to come to the Ministry of War to discuss things. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Brother Eldest Sun, sit down, my military department is not as comfortable as your household department, so you can just take care of it."

Du Ruhui, who was ordering things on the side, asked the eldest grandson Wuji to sit down from time to time, and did not forget to squeeze it.

There is no way to be the secretary of the military department, so you have to think about the military department, and the household department is a big problem that Du Ruhui has to face every year.

The eldest grandson Wuji has always applied for the expenses of the Ministry of War, and then cut it down before allocating funds to the Ministry of War.

It was this Du Ruhui who would squeeze the eldest grandson Wuji just now.

However, the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't care, both of them are old ministers in the Qin Palace, and this bit of elegance is still there.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who sat down with a smile, picked up Du Ruhui's teacup and tasted Du Ruhui's sencha, he knew this old man.

Although he is a scholar of the military department and is in charge of the Tang Army, he is a scholar who usually likes to drink sencha and read books.

"Brother Keming, you are still so powerful, when you were in the Qin Palace, I couldn't argue with you, and now it's still like this."

After placing the teacup on the table, he continued.

"You also understand that within a few years of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although there are many inheritances of the wealth of the previous dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has used troops for many years, and it has almost consumed the family wealth of the household."

"Besides, this time, I didn't mean to stop it at all, I nodded and agreed directly, didn't Brother Keming accept my affection?" The eldest grandson, Wuji, explained why he often controlled the expenses of the military department.

Du Ruhui also knew the difficulties of the eldest grandson Wuji, although he was ostensibly in charge of the household department, the richest department in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it seemed that the scenery was infinite.

In fact, only you know the inner suffering.

Everyone wants to ask his eldest grandson Wuji for money, and in the past few years, he has been fighting for many years, and it is really difficult to spend money for the eldest grandson Wuji.

Du Ruhui also understood, but he just habitually squeezed a sentence just now.

"Okay, knowing that you are paying taxes for Datang, it hurts my brain, I just said this casually just now, who would have thought that your eldest grandson Wuji would care so much about this." After speaking, Du Ruhui gave the eldest grandson Wuji another cup of tea.

"Brother Keming understands me." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

As soon as the words began, the two sat in the main hall of the military headquarters, waiting for Li Mu's arrival.

........

In the Naturalized Viscount's Mansion, when Li Mu saw the official from the Ministry of War, he knew that it was Du Ruhui who was in charge of the Ministry of War.

This Du Ruhui, who is known as the Fang Mou Du Xuan.

Since Li Er was the king of Qin, Du Ruhui began to assist Li Er, accompanying Li Er to fight in the south and the north, it can be said that Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling are Li Er's two arms in the world.

I still admire Du Ruhui and Li Mu very much.

Li Mu knew that although Du Ruhui was in charge of the military department, he was a scholar.

The first time we met, although we were going to talk about weapons and white medicine, and buying and selling, it was only when the matter was over.

Li Mu still has something to ask the other party for.

There is a rule in China, that is, when asking for help, you always have to give gifts, which is the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person.

So before going to the military department, Li Mu asked Mei'er to wrap him a pound of Longjing before the rain.

It was used as a first meeting gift for this military boss.

This gift was selected by Li Mu according to Du Ruhui's situation, maybe Du Ruhui does not have the stinky problems of scholars, but there should be those hobbies of scholars.

Tea is one of the favorite drinks of every reader.

The other is wine.

But the artistic conception of tea is more profound than wine, and the reason for this is that Li Mu did not send wine, that is, he did not have good wine brought from modern times.

I can only send tea.

With gifts, he rode on horseback, followed the side of the military officer, and headed towards the military headquarters.

Li Mu's psychology at this time was secretly thinking about what kind of weapons he wanted to sell to Datang, or what kind of weapons the military department needed.

Li Mu knew that the Tang Dynasty could be regarded as the most prosperous era of cold weapons in ancient China.

Take the Tang Dynasty as a rule, when it comes to the special weapons of this dynasty, modern people will naturally think of the Tang knife.

As everyone knows, the Tang knife is just a general term for the standard weapon knife of the Tang Dynasty army.

"Tang Liudian" volume 16 arsenal order Cheng Zhi Zhangzhang records: the knife system has four Tang knives: one is called the Yi knife, the second is the obstacle knife, the third is the horizontal knife, and the fourth is the Mo knife.

It can be seen that the Tang knife is a general term for the types of knives in the Tang Dynasty, not a knife, so there is no "Tang knife" in ancient times.

Ritual knife: Gai Guban sword and the like, the Jin and Song dynasties have come to call the royal knife, and the later Wei said that the long knife, all of which are dragon and phoenix rings. To Sui, it is called the ritual knife, loaded with gold and silver, and the feather is held.

Barrier Blade: Cover the shield to defend against the enemy.

Horizontal sword: The sword worn by the soldiers, the name also comes from the Sui. "Tang Law Shu Yi" Volume 8 Guard Forbidden Law "The Guards of the Houses Shall Not Go Far in Battle"

Mo Knife: Long knife, held by infantry, Gaigu's broken horse sword. (Actually, it's a horse chopping knife used by infantry)

Each of these four knives has a different purpose.

The katana of the Wa Kingdom evolved from the horizontal sword of the Tang sword, but there is also a type of Japanese katana, which is specially prepared for the short knife used for seppuku.

Li Mu felt that the knife should have originated from the barrier knife, there is a saying that the barrier knife is used by soldiers for close combat.

The longest of the barrier knife is not more than 50 centimeters, and the shortest is 15 centimeters.

It is also the appearance of a dagger, but the obstacle knife of the Tang Dynasty should be used to protect oneself and be used in close combat, and the short knife of the Wa Kingdom is used for oneself to cut the abdomen.

Li Mu, who was riding on a horse, didn't know which kind of knife the military department would purchase from him, or either all four knives or none at all.

Instead, they procured some other weapons.

This is all possible, after all, cold weapons are not only knives, but also bows and arrows, Ge, etc., in which Li Mu likes one of the weapons.

That is the arrow of the bow and arrow, and the latter is said to be the arrow of the bow and arrow.

If you want to take advantage of modern technology and design, you can definitely design an iron arrow with the least air resistance.

Coupled with the mechanical mass pressing, Li Mu can provide millions of arrows for Datang at one time.

This is also a good business, after all, in modern times, there may be some trouble in making a large number of controlled knives.

But the arrows used to make bows and arrows are a different story.

In addition to these weapons in his hands, Li Mu also considered selling armor to Datang, such as Gothic armor in the Western world, or chain mail, etc., some armor that is more mature and protective than Datang armor.

However, in the end, Li Mu gave up, there are two reasons, one of which is the problem of cost, that is, modern armor production, which is also handmade.

In modern times, handmade with pure handmade, it is a valuable thing.

This does not meet the standard of interests, maybe Li Mu poured the armor from the modern era to the Tang Dynasty, and he will lose money, after all, the armor will be equipped with a large-scale army, and it will be large-scale and the interests will be expanded.

But it is obvious that the retro armor made in modern times is obviously brought to the ancient, and it is also a luxury.

Only the general-level can be equipped, and the soldiers should not think about it, in that case, Li Mu's armor can only be sold in small quantities.

In that case, it would be better not to sell armor.

Another reason is that there are some human factors.

Li Mu, who was thinking about it, looked up and saw the plaque of the yamen of the military department, and realized that he had arrived at the military department unconsciously.
