Sitting behind the desk on the side, and after taking a sip of fragrant tea, Kang Yanli winked a little mischievously and smiled. "Your Majesty, the minister came this time, in fact, on the orders of Jieli Khan."

"Oh? The Great Khan of the Eastern Turks sent you here not to confuse me, did he? Ben Gongzi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, Jieli Khan has brought a lot of gifts, in addition, he hopes to expand the amount of iron-for-copper trade with Your Majesty, from the previous fifty tons a month, to two hundred tons, in addition, there is also the hope of expanding the share of other trade, in short, Jieli Khan means that he hopes to paralyze Your Majesty and make you defenseless against the Eastern Turks."

I nodded in satisfaction. "It's really good that Jieli Khan can think of this trick, Kang Qing, don't worry, I will naturally pretend that I don't know anything

"Now, I'm worried that our brass can't meet the demand for casting weapons, and it would be great if we could produce an extra hundred tons a month."

Artillery was to equip the troops before muskets, but it was precisely because of the lack of copper materials that artillery was now made. It is estimated that the monthly output is about 50 guns, that is to say, two artillery battalions can be equipped, compared with the 650,000 troops of the Chinese Empire, according to the artillery support force of at least 50 to 60 guns per division, the output of artillery is too much of a drop in the bucket.

In addition, there is an extremely important reason that in the future, in some critical passes or fortresses, artillery will definitely be needed, so to be honest, I feel a little pitiful for this output.

I really didn't expect that now, in order to paralyze the Chinese Empire, the Eastern Turks actually threw out such a big gift, which is naturally a must-laugh for me, and now, the minerals of Luzon Island have entered the production stage.

But after all, the distance was too far, there was no train, and I had to rely on horse-drawn carriages or boats, which was too slow. If you can get an extra 50 tons of production every month, then the output of artillery can at least increase by about 30 guns, because you also have to take into account the production of shells, although the shells will be recycled, but the problem is that you have to come up with enough ammunition to give the cannons. When the scale of copper production in Luzon is formed in the future, it is definitely not a dream to produce 200 artillery pieces per month.

In addition, light mortars naturally came out, and of course, the firing method was finally changed from fuze ignition to impact ignition. This lightweight, curved gun with a range of about one and a half miles was well received. The only inconvenience is that when the shells are stored, the fuse must be removed first, so as to save yourself from being unlucky if the vibration is too large during transportation.

Although the lethality was nowhere near that of heavy artillery, the problem was that due to its light weight, easy to carry, and easy to use in small units, both the troops and cavalry were given a weapon for attacking fortifications. It is precisely because of the convenience and versatility of this mortar that the military strongly demanded that while producing artillery, it also hoped to equip battalion-level units with eight to ten of these offensive weapons. In this regard, I agree that as for heavy artillery, at present it can only be assigned to the army at the division level, which is a matter of no choice.

However, there is really no problem with the mortar being assigned to the battalion level, although the quality of today's steel is not enough to make the alloy barrel of later generations, but it is definitely a breeze to make a mortar barrel.

After the newly built mortar plant is put into operation, it will be able to produce about 300 mortars per month, which is enough for the time being.

"Your Majesty is wise, but Your Majesty, the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan will definitely do it by the end of next summer at the latest, why are you not in a hurry? The minister saw that there didn't seem to be much change in the area around Yan'an County. Kang Sheath couldn't help but say with some concern.

As a Turkic, he was worried about the safety of the Chinese Empire, and it has to be said that Kang Sheli had regarded himself as a real subject of the Chinese Empire. Thinking about Yang Jian's tolerant broad-mindedness in the previous dynasty, this son will naturally not be left behind.

Shi Danai, a Turkic and a lieutenant general in command of an army in the current Chinese Empire, is also known as Feng An, a member of the Lingnan minority who is now awarded the rank of general. In addition, among the officials who served in the court, there were many Hu, Persian, and even Xitai.

For these people, this son is naturally also treated equally, and the best are taken, just like Kang Sheli, a white-skinned and yellow-core buddy, this son is very trusted, although this goods are very fat, but he is indeed very talented, and he can be regarded as a rare resourceful person among the Turks, and after years of review, I can be sure that this guy is definitely the master of a red heart to the sun.

"You don't need to worry too much about this, I already have a plan, don't worry, at the end of spring next year, I will give the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan a big surprise." I touched my chin and smiled sinisterly.

Seeing Kang Yanli, he couldn't help but subconsciously swallow the spittle. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you've already calculated, haven't you?"

"Of course, when the time comes, I will definitely give Jieli Khan a big surprise. It's definitely going to be beyond his expectations, and you're not expecting. The sinister on Ben Gongzi's face turned into a cheerful and detached.

"Seeing Your Majesty so calm, the minister is much more relieved, think about it, since Your Majesty dealt with the Eastern Turks, he has never suffered a loss, no matter whether it is the Shibi Khan or the Chuluo Khan, but he has never been courted by Your Majesty." Kang Yanli let out a sigh of relief, and raised the teacup to drink instead of wine.

"Of course, but speaking of course, this time I Huaxia was able to prepare early, or Kang Qing's work."

Next, Ben Gongzi smiled and accepted the gift worth more than 100,000 yuan given by Kang Yanli on behalf of Jieli Khan, and of course he also gave back several palm-sized glass mirrors, as well as a few sets of glassware, and then some silk cloths. Anyway, these things seem to be valuable, but in fact, they are really worthless to the Huaxia Empire, but falling into the hands of those old people can definitely hook their eyeballs.

Then, naturally, he drafted a letter of state, in which he expressed his respect for Jieli Khan, and on behalf of the Chinese Empire, he was grateful to the noble friendship of the Eastern Turkic people. Well, that's disgusting, it should be kind.

After only two days in Chang'an, Kang Kuali successfully completed the task assigned by Jieli Khan, took the gift I gave to Jieli Khan, boarded the train, and headed for Yan'an County. When he got there, he turned into a carriage and continued to the Golden Horde of the Eastern Turks, bringing with him the hypocrisy of his son.

Well, since he fooled me, why can't I fool him? At best, it's just a mutual use.

"Husband...... Husband? A soft, honey-like sweet voice sounded from behind me, and my son turned his head to see Sister Qingxia, who was dressed in a three-point style, was standing next to the indoor pool.

The skin is whiter than snow, and the three-point style of dark flowers and black silk makes her perfect figure look sexy, and her shy and blushing pretty face is like the white lotus petals, as if the dew can only slide off helplessly, and cannot leave a trace.

"Husband, is it okay for a concubine to wear like this?" Sister Qingxia tightened the bath towel on her body a little uncomfortably, and her plump buttocks shook gently, and even her son's eyes almost fell to the ground.

"Okay, what's not going on, Qingxia is good, come here, come and bathe with your husband." Ben Gongzi threw away the cigarette butt in his hand that was soaked by the pool of water, and hooked his finger at Sister Qingxia with an evil smile.

Sister Qingxia timidly walked to the edge of the pool, put the bath towel on the recliner on the side, and tested the water temperature with her hand. "Husband, I still don't want it, you can see the inside from the outside."

"Don't worry, lady, who dares to look around outside, my son can't gouge out his eyeballs." Ben Gongzi didn't have the time to squirm and pinch this girl there, grabbed her slender hand with a big hand, and then took her into his arms, hugged this beautiful girl who screamed and kissed several times.

"You bad guy, your concubine's hair is all wet for you." Sister Qingxia helplessly let me hug her, straightened her hair that was wet with hot water, and said angrily

"It's okay, I'll be done in the shower in a while. Come, sit here, let's have a good bubble as a couple. "I caressed her curvy and hot body in the water, well, it felt really good.

"Husband, is there really no one coming?" Even if Sister Qingxia is already a mother, she is still a little shy when she has an intimate behavior with her son outside the bedroom, and her expression looks a little nervous.

"What are you doing for your husband, who dares to peek at my dragon body, it's strange if I don't beat him flat, don't worry about it, take a hot bath in peace, relax and relax, and wait for the children to wake up in a while, and you will be tired." I reluctantly patted her fragrant shoulder and whispered to persuade.

Sister Qingxia nodded, let out a long breath, and rested her head on my shoulder. "Well, husband, you've worked hard enough. I have to work on state affairs all day long, and when I get home, I have to deal with those little ancestors. ”

"It's okay, I'm happy for my husband." When Ben Gongzi thought of the eldest girl and the second girl and the iron egg, the smile on his face couldn't help but be a little spoiled. The two girls are more and more ghosts and elves, the little guy Tiedan, the body is very strong, the food is fragrant, the thief looks fast, and he doesn't recognize life, whoever hugs him looks like he is happy and drooling.

According to my observations, as long as this kid is hugged by a woman, the amount of saliva is definitely much greater than the flow rate and flow when a man hugs him, which proves that this little guy is definitely a pervert when he grows up.

For my judgment, Sister Qingxia can only use a perfunctory attitude of crying and laughing, saying that when the little guy sees a woman, he thinks that it is time to breastfeed, and it is normal for his saliva to flow a lot.
