"Come in." Only then did the Emperor restrain his anger and wave his hand, motioning for the two useless wastes of the Ministry of Works to leave through the side door.

Xie Xun saw the parts piled up on the ground at a glance.

Because it was the first draft, there were no materials used at that time, and as a result, the emperor used all the iron, even the belt.

Xie Xun almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

It's all iron lumps, and it's strange to be able to assemble a sewing machine!

"Familiar." The Emperor pointed to the parts and spoke directly.

He didn't want to be distorted by this nonsense.

Xie Xun pretended to stare at the parts and shook his head, "I'm not familiar." ”

The emperor almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"These things are flowing out of the Zhenguo Mansion, you say you are not familiar with them?"

Damn, if he hadn't let the courtiers know that it was not good for him to let people into the courtiers' house to steal things, he would have wanted to smash those drawings in his face.

"Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know these things."

Xie Xun reasoned with the emperor very seriously, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the minister's eyes can only accommodate silver and a beautiful little lady, even if these things are placed in front of the minister, the minister will not raise his eyelids to see it." ”

Hey? The emperor was stunned, and this seemed to be right.

When will he tinker with these things?

Gao Shiqing also said that the handwriting on the drawing was very different from Xie Xun.

Xie Xun was afraid that the drawings would be stolen out, so he deliberately used a completely different font from the original owner.

However, the emperor still didn't want to let Xie Xun go, he gritted his teeth, pulled out the three drawings, and threw them in Xie Xun's face.

"What about this, you're familiar with it!"

Xie Xun took the papers, read them seriously, and nodded, "This minister knows." It was accidentally brought out of the minister's father's study. ”

"Entrainment?" The Emperor raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Isn't this the evil wind that the minister's father didn't know what kind of evil wind he smoked, forcing the minister to read and memorize and write, and he had to hand in his homework every day. On that day, the big characters written by the minister were not as good as his father's meaning, and his father picked up the scratch and hit the minister, and the minister dodged in a panic, and accidentally knocked down the table, and a few pieces of paper fell on it. ”

Later, when he helped his father clean up the table, the minister didn't pay attention and sandwiched the pieces of paper in it. When I went back, I found that it was a drawing. But the minister was frightened, but he didn't dare to do it. The minister thought, anyway, it was the staff who drew it for his father, and if his father couldn't find it, he should ask the staff to draw another copy. And he threw it into the drawer. ”

Xie Xun took one of the drawings, squatted down, picked up those parts and compared them twice, and tilted his head to look at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, what are these things for?"

Isn't this asking you to solve your puzzles!

The Emperor rolled his eyelids angrily, suppressing his anger, "So, only your father knows what these things are for?" ”

"Maybe the staff who drew this drawing knows?" Xie Xun pinched his chin with his right hand and tilted his head in thought.

There are not many staff members in the Zhenguo Mansion, but there are more than 20 of them, all of whom are quite talented. Perhaps the two foxes of the Xie family were afraid that the news would leak out, and those staff members all moved into the Zhenguo Mansion, and no one went out for more than ten days.

He can't call them one by one, can he?

"Your Majesty, how did you get these drawings?"

Xie Xun looked at the emperor and scratched his head, "The minister remembers that these drawings were placed in the minister's study...... I kind of forgot where to put it, anyway, it was put in the minister's study. How did it end up in your hands? ”

Ahem, cough, the emperor covered his mouth and coughed falsely.

Anshun hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the tea.

The emperor drank tea and waved his hand, "Okay, you can stand down." ”

Xie Xun seemed a little dissatisfied, stared at the emperor for a long time before bowing and leaving.

"Anshun."

As soon as Xie Xun left, the emperor threw the tea cup in his hand on the imperial table.

"You go to the Zhenguo Mansion. Ask Xie Shangshu, how are Xie Jiajun's winter clothes and weapons and armor doing? I'm worried about progress. Let Xie Shangshu bring some samples into the palace. ”

Since you can't figure out what the Xie family is doing, let's just look at the results. He wants to see how the Xie family solves the problem of iron ore?

Xie Xun almost entered the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion with Anshun in front and back.

Hearing about Anshun's intentions, Xie Xun sneered.

The emperor's concentration is still not enough!

The superior is accustomed to killing and decisiveness, so he naturally has little patience. What's more, in the past half a month, the Xie family's Guan Zi has bought too big. The hostile faction should be a little unable to sit still.

Before Anshun returned to the palace, the news spread. Officials from both the Xie faction and the hostile faction entered the palace, waiting to see Xie Shangshu uncover the mystery. There are so many people that the imperial study is almost not enough to stand.

Xie Shangshu walked to the front of the palace with his head held high, followed by three eunuchs, one of whom carried a large wooden box in his hand.

A box contains cotton clothes and cotton pants, ordinary style.

Everyone looked at another box.

The second box contained swords, guns, swords, and halberds, which were also normal.

Everyone was a little disappointed, but also a little faintly excited.

The Xie family didn't come up with any tricks, isn't the problem of iron ore going to be solved?

Before the Xie clan's hostile faction could laugh, their mouths opened wide and their eyes widened.

"Qing'er, is it right to be a father?" Gao Shangshu poked Gao Shiqing beside him with his elbow, and rubbed his eyes again, "Paper armor? ”

Gao Shiqing was also stunned, and he didn't react for a long time.

The emperor couldn't help but rub his eyes, "Xie Shangshu, this is the armor built by the Zhenguo Mansion?" Do you want the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang to wear paper armor to fight the Rong people? ”

The Emperor was torn between anger and laughter.

If Xie Jiajun really wore such armor, there would definitely be no more people left after the First World War. The Xie family has no Xie Jiajun, so there is nothing to be afraid of, he should be happy. But he was worried that the defeat of the Xie family army was too miserable, which would boost the arrogance of the Rong people, and they would go south in the coming year, threatening the safety of the capital.

It's really tangled!

The officials of the Xie faction couldn't help but be apprehensive.

In order to avoid leaking secrets, Xie Shangshu did not disclose all the matters in the Xie family's workshop to the officials of his faction. So, these people don't know anything about paper armor.

Xie Shangshu didn't squint, took out a complete set of paper armor from the box, and nodded solemnly, "Yes, Your Majesty." This is the armor that the minister used the Xie family's silver to create for the Xie family's army. ”

"Nonsense!" The Emperor glared angrily.

Although I was more happy in my heart, I still had to pretend in the end.

The emperor pretended to slap the table three times, "Xie Aiqing, you are asking the Northern Xinjiang Army to send them to death!" Even if you are dissatisfied with me and the court, you should not take revenge on the soldiers who fought bloodily! You're ......."

"Your Majesty, you haven't tried this armor, how do you know that this paper armor can't be used?" Xie Shangshu shook his hand and showed the entire armor in front of everyone, "Chen dares to guarantee that the hardness of this armor is not inferior to the iron armor at all." Even, for northern Xinjiang, which often rains and snows in winter, this armor is waterproof and fireproof, and it is more suitable than iron armor. ”

Hey?

The ministers were shocked again.

Everyone present knows that the war in Northern Xinjiang is also this winter time. If this paper armor is hard enough, it is really more suitable than iron armor.

After all, paper is cheap and lightweight.

The emperor was a little unconvinced. Although he had never been on the battlefield, he would always wear armor to hunt several times a year.

Can paper withstand knives and guns?

"Since Xie Aiqing is so confident, why don't you announce that Xie Shizi will try on this armor made of paper!"

The emperor suddenly had a plan.

Hmph, you yourself said that this armor is comparable to iron armor, and if your son is cut in two in public, it is no wonder that I am not surprised!
