When the owner of Zhang Fang saw that Lin Piao didn't answer, he snorted: "What do you want to do or don't do, our Royal Foundry naturally listens to Your Majesty in everything, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, we will definitely be busy overnight, even if we are tired and die here, we dare not complain." ”

Lin Piao glanced at him, this Zhang Fang owner didn't know if he had been with the eunuch for too long, and he was also in prison when he spoke, with his bulging muscles under the thin shirt, especially like a bear.

The owner of the Zhang Fang said energetically: "As long as the owner of the Lin Fang goes to ask His Majesty, then everything will naturally be up to the owner, I don't know what the owner of the house is planning?" ”

Lin Piao looked at him more and more disgusted, and described him as like a bear gay and insulted the bear.

Lin Piao glanced at him coldly: "I will go to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty loves the people like a son, how could it be?" ”

Lin Piao didn't stay in the foundry for too long, it was too hot inside, and he was not responsible for striking iron, so it was useless to stay inside, so he went home at noon, intending to discuss the matter with Shen Hong first.

When Shen Hong returned home in the afternoon, Lin Piao told him that he was going to see the emperor, and Shen Hong paused for a moment when he heard this: "Why did Piao'er have such thoughts?" ”

"It's not that I was born, I didn't want to go, the owner of the chapter shop provoked me with words, and the words were all said to that part, I said that I would be embarrassed if I didn't go, not to mention that this is the first time I put forward an opinion since I took office, I can't bring it over so lightly, no one will do it and no one will care about it at that time, and I, the owner, will be useless at all."

Shen Hong listened to his words, thought for a while, and said, "How about I go to ask for the will for Piao'er." ”

"It's okay, but I still want to go by myself, otherwise in their eyes I'm just a brother who doesn't dare to show his head and wants his family to help me do everything."

Shen Hong looked at him: "Piao'er already has a way, do you want me to think of a way to answer you?" ”

"I want to make it clear to you first, whatever you plan to prepare, so that you can feel at ease."

Shen Hong nodded, thinking for a moment: "I know, tomorrow you go to face the saint, I will still pick you up, you and I don't have to worry." ”

Lin Piao snorted: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, I feel that the emperor doesn't like me, it's just a freshness, he was a little interesting to me before, but now I'm with you, although he is arrogant, but he also thinks that he is the emperor, so he won't be so tasteless." ”

"Piao'er, the emperor is the supreme in the world, and it is in this position that he can effortlessly obtain everything in the world."

Lin Piao nodded, he understood what Shen Hong meant, but if he really wanted to say what would happen to the emperor, he didn't think so.

Shen Hong knew that the emperor's character was not inferior to this extent, but his beloved was coveted by others, and he could not rest assured if he was not by his side.

After the two discussed, Lin Piao felt that Shen Hong still had a grudge against the emperor for letting him call his sister-in-law before, although Lin Piao did not allow him to toss, but he still sharpened his ears and temples for a while, leaving some marks on his clothes.

On the second day, Lin Piao communicated in advance, and then waited for the emperor's schedule to vacate after lunch, and hurried to meet him and export his ideas at once.

Today, the emperor seems to have just returned from a busy day, going to court in the morning, and after going down to court, he has to discuss state affairs with the courtiers of the cabinet, and now he looks a little tired and needs to take a nap.

However, Lin Piao didn't care whether he lacked sleep or not, and after he finished saying what he was going to say, he knelt down and waited for an answer, and heard Chu Yu's voice coming from above.

"Your idea is very good, but do you know how much manpower and material resources are required to do so?"

Lin Piao raised his head: "Since Your Majesty wants to sweep Liuhe and dominate the world, but you can't even give up a few pieces of scale armor?" ”

The father-in-law on the side held his breath when he heard this, for fear that he would get into trouble for a moment when his breathing was heavy.

The emperor was choked for a moment, then smiled: "Lin Piao, the money in the treasury has never been my own money, and it is not that I am reluctant to spend it wherever I want. ”

"War was decided by His Majesty to be fought, wasn't it? Your Majesty decided to go to war, and gathered the strength of the world, but could not support a few pieces of armor for the soldiers? ”

Lin Piaocai didn't want to speak softly, or grovel and say anything flattering, so that Chu Yu would agree to him as soon as he was happy, if it was someone else, it would be good to say a few good words in exchange for the kindness and preferential treatment of others, but Chu Yu was a person who was in a high position and was unconsciously humiliating others all the time.

Chu Yu's face changed slightly, and he didn't expect Lin Piao to dare to say such a thing: "Are you accusing me of being irresponsible?" ”

"The grass people didn't mean that."

"You're now the owner of the foundry, and you're a courtier."

"I didn't mean that."

Chu Yu looked at Lin Piao's kneeling appearance, looked at it for a while, felt a little hateful, and felt that he was still very beautiful, and his stubbornness was even more different from the same gentleness and suppleness of others.

"You are really bold, the land of Daning is vast, I don't know how many places you need to allocate money, and the ditch that your brother-in-law wants to repair is also very expensive, do you know?"

"There are droughts from time to time, and Daning needs ditches."

The emperor watched him defend Shen Hong like this, and he didn't say anything about Shen Hong, Lin Piao had to fight for Shen Hong's innocence.

Now that Shen Hong is about a "patriot" and a loving person in his heart, and he doesn't know how good he is, Chu Yu thought about it and didn't continue on this topic.

"Then tell me what you are going to do, how you plan to do it, how you want to do it."

"Fang Caichen has already said that if it is too time-consuming and laborious to wait until all the forging is completed, he will reward them in batches, so that there will be no delay in doing it all year round, and the soldiers will also have a hope, knowing that there will be a reward quota every month, they will work harder."

"It is their duty to be loyal to the country, and you say that it seems that we Daning men are unprofitable and can't afford to be early."

"Armor is not a benefit, it is Daning's attention, gift, and love for them, and they can kill the enemy without armor, and they are a hundred times more brave with armor."

Lin Piao didn't know how long this emperor would have to talk nonsense, so he had to talk about the armor for a long time like him.

The emperor walked out of the table and looked at Lin Piao: "The weather is good today, let's go out for a walk with me." ”

Lin Piao: "......"

Lin Piao got up, followed behind him, and heard the emperor say in front of him: "Sometimes I hear you talk about the country and the world, but I am actually very curious about what you have seen. ”

"Your Majesty has also been to the county government, and what we have seen has also been seen by Your Majesty."

"No, that's different."

"Your Majesty thinks about ordinary people in your own self, Your Majesty wants to eat, sleep, take care of your body, and don't want to be harmed, and the same is true for ordinary people, and everyone in the world is like this, so we must pay attention to farming, support the people's livelihood, and reduce wars, and even if there is a war, we must do a good job for the soldiers and generals, and we must not cut off grain and grass, and we must not lack supplies.

Chu Yu smiled, he didn't speak, he had naturally seen everything in the county government, but it was different, he was already a prince at that time, and everything he saw was looking down, and he couldn't see any ordinary people eating and sleeping at a glance, but could only see their flattering faces, squeezing their smiling faces to get closer to him.

He felt that Lin Piao's eyes were very interesting, he could see things that others could not see, and say things that others could not say, as if in his eyes, the world was a different look, and it was completely different from the real appearance of this world.

It's curious.

"Then you came to Shangjing, is Shangjing the same in your eyes?"

Lin Piao felt that Chu Yu was somewhat ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, do you think that the people of Shangjing do not eat, or are the people of Shangjing not afraid of death?"

When Chu Yu heard his answer, he couldn't help but laugh, and then he almost laughed heartily.

Lin Piao: "......"

Laugh at the fart.

Chu Yu stopped laughing and looked sideways at Lin Piao.

"Lin Piao, you're really interesting."

"Then Your Majesty thinks the scaly armor thing is not feasible?"

"I'll give you."

"Your Majesty."

After getting the result, Lin Piao didn't want to talk to the emperor anymore, so he stood next to him after thanking him.

The emperor looked at Lin Piao's side face, his heart was surging for a while, he regretted it a little, when Lin Piao came to Beijing, Shen Hong had not yet obtained him at that time, Shen Hong probably knew how precious he was, so he quietly gathered his palm little by little and grabbed him in his hand.

If his mind had moved at that time and he had caught him in his hands earlier, Lin Piao would have been his interpreter at this time, and he would have defended him like Shen Hong, instead of being so cold-spoken and bored of saying a word.

After taking two more steps, Lin Piao felt that it was almost over: "Your Majesty, since you have nothing to do, you have retired." ”

The emperor said, "Since you said that you will walk with me, you can finish this road and leave." ”

Lin Piao: "......"

Abandon.

Lin Piao has something to do, where is he free to accompany him to press the road, but he can't say that I'm going to leave you, so he can only walk with him silently until Shen Hong comes to ask for a meeting.

The emperor did not say whether to let him in or not, and the father-in-law did not get an answer for a while, and did not act rashly, but stood aside quietly.

The emperor looked sideways at Lin Piao: "Shen Aiqing is here again?" ”

"He has something to do, so the minister will step back first."

"You really are." The emperor smiled, the smile did not enter his eyes, but he still nodded, now Lin Piao is Shen Hong's person, even if he does not have any name on the surface, he can be called a family with a layer of uncle-sister-in-law relationship.

It's always a little closer than him.

Lin Piao and Shen Hong are sisters-in-law, and he is the wife of courtiers, both of whom are rebellious.

"Let's go down."

Lin Piao got the will, ran away decisively, and bumped into Shen Hong at the gate of the palace, the two met outside the red wall, and Shen Hong saw Lin Piao come out: "How is the matter?" ”

"The emperor agreed, but nothing else."

"Then you go to the foundry."

"Do you really have something to tell the emperor?"

"Now that I have come, I have something to discuss."

Lin Piao nodded, thinking that they were really busy all day, and there were really many things, so they could pull out a little important thing as a reason.

"Then I'll go to the foundry first."

Lin Piao asked his father-in-law to go with him and instructed him to go on with him.

Lin Piao asked him to go out with him and pasted two ingots of silver to him, although his father-in-law did not lack this, he still smiled, which shows that he knows the principle of accumulating a lot.

When he arrived at the foundry, his father-in-law waved the dust, put it in his elbow, and said in a sharp voice: "The emperor said, everything should be done according to what the owner of the forest workshop said, don't slack off~"

The owner of the Zhang Fang said yes again and again, but he didn't expect that Lin Piao would really dare to go to the emperor to talk about it, and that one of his brothers actually had such courage to walk back and forth in front of the emperor without being afraid at all.

But think about it, he has such a hard relationship in his family, as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, the emperor won't do anything to him, and it's not unusual for him to have confidence.

Lin Piao stood in front of everyone and decided to fake the tiger: "Now Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter, this is not only the armor, but also Your Majesty's attention to the Daning soldiers, everyone must do it well, don't let down Your Majesty!" ”

Everyone said yes, but no one dared not to get along.

Lin Piao ordered this matter to go down, let one person under the owner of Zhang Fang and Chang Yongsi be responsible together, and let them use people, and they must make the first batch this month, so that they can be rewarded.

Everyone responded, and the father-in-law was still there, not to mention resisting, and he didn't dare to say a word of laziness

Lin Piao flicked his sleeves, left in a dashing manner, and before leaving, he specially explained to Chang Yongsi that he was keeping an eye on this side of the matter, once they dared to slack off and not do things well, Lin Piao would come to solve the problem, although it could not solve the problem, but it could solve the problem.

The fact that Lin Piao became the owner of the Royal Foundry caused a lot of discussion in Shangjing, and even quickly spread to the surrounding places, after all, this is an unprecedented thing, and no brother has ever been able to sit in such a position.

I've heard my brother be a queen, but I've never heard of my brother being a foundry owner.

Although this matter is very unreasonable, but after thinking about it, it is a little reasonable, that is, they suddenly thought that the chain mail was proposed by him to be studied, and the Tianji Bow was led by him, if a man made these things, let alone a workshop owner, it should also be famous all over the world, and now Lin Piao is just a workshop owner, so why can't he do it.

Not long after, the news of his request to make armor also spread, and rumors began to spread about the follow-up battle against the owner of the Zhangfang.

"The two were arguing endlessly, my nephew was fighting inside, and I heard it with my own ears, the owner of the forest workshop said that it is a good thing to make armor, and the soldiers should protect their families and defend the country, and the armor must be one more set is a set, and the soldiers are also warm in their hearts.

"What a bastard! He's an iron-striker! Isn't that what you do, what do you do! It's not as sensible as a brother! ”
