(Score high, pay attention, and then give a name for promotion.) ）

Seeing that Wei Guifei was surprised, Empress Eldest Sun explained on the side:

"Don't worry, sister. It's not a big deal. Just keep some. Otherwise, Shen'er will feel even more at a loss. Today, His Majesty has been fined for another two years. Your Majesty said that Shen'er may not be able to sleep well at night," Empress Changsun said and smiled

"Your Majesty, the treasury of the Daji Hall is not large. Now it can't fit anymore. The concubine is about to tell His Majesty these days. Why don't you pull some money and go to the house. Otherwise, how would it be. Wei Guifei said and looked at Li Shimin. Full of sincerity. If it were someone else, Li Shimin would feel like showing off.

But Wei Guifei still understands it through several years of contact. The dividend of the paper mill is 20%. Dividends of the division house. There are also monthly gifts from Li Shen. Tens of thousands of dollars per month. In the past few months, it has been sent to almost 500,000 yuan.

Dajidian really doesn't have such a big treasury. Li Shimin's eyes were red when he looked at it. Wei Guifei has already pulled money into the house a few times. There can be two or three hundred thousand. You can't keep asking people to pull money. As an emperor, he always asks for money from his daughter-in-law, and there is no light on his face.

"Erlang, I think Kaichun will build a larger treasury for Dajidian. Either the house is easy to steal if you don't always use the palace. And Shen'er is filial, and he enters the palace several times a month, and each time he has a few carts of things. There is no shortage of these in my temple. Why don't you just go inside? When Sister Wei needs it, just let someone come to me to get it. When Empress Eldest Sun saw Wei Guifei asking for help, she knew that she was not faking.

She also knew about Li Shen's entry into the palace to deliver things, and she had a copy every time. Most of the inexhaustible ones were sent to a few children. Especially the East Palace, most of them were given to the East Palace. She knew that Li Chengqian was not having an easy time. As a prince, he can't compete with the people for profit, he can only rely on Yulu.

That little money still has to maintain the expenses of the entire East Palace, and also cultivate its own talents. I heard from my son that there were several times when the crown princess almost sold her jewelry. She also quietly gave Li Chengqian the money she had within. But you can't keep giving it.

"Oh well. and they were brought to the treasury for reward. The concubine is really rich now," Li Shimin said sourly. provoked the two wives to hide their faces and snicker.

"Your Majesty, there happens to be a carriage, let them come and pull away 100,000 yuan later. Jeong-won is coming soon. The concubine estimated that this month's dividend was about to be delivered. Don't run out of places when the time comes. Wei Guifei intentionally or unintentionally stimulated Li Shimin.

Li Shimin pursed his lips after hearing this, and his heart was sour.

Rough work definitely doesn't have to be done by three people. The three of them went to the Daji Hall to sit down and chat for a while. The main reason was that Empress Eldest Sun chatted with Wei Guifei, and Li Shimin couldn't interject.

"Sister, Shen'er is really capable. Among so many princes, the one who can make the most money is Shen'er. Shen'er is still talented. It's a pity that he is unwilling to enter the DPRK and participate in politics. ”

"Sister, don't praise him. Shen'er is unambitious, only knows pleasure. It's been like this since I was a child. It's better for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Knowledgeable and intelligent. In the future, it will definitely be a generation of bright monarchs. Li Shimin, who listened to the two blowing patterns to each other, felt blushing.

"Why? The senior year is grown, and there are many years of training by Erlang. But the brain is just not flexible enough. A lot of things don't know how to work. To tell you the truth, it is impossible to be clever compared to cautious in terms of making money. Every month is more than you can make ends meet. Ay! When he thought of Li Chengqian's hardship, he was a little worried.

The prince's fortune is 1,800 yuan per month. But there are other rice and the like, and there are fields. It's about 20,000 or 30,000 a year. But there are a lot of people in the prince's mansion. The officials are all responsible for themselves, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs. To maintain a huge East Palace, it is simply not enough to cultivate talents.

"Why don't you take some from my treasury for the prince? You also know that I usually don't spend money at all in the deep palace. A monthly stipend is enough. So much money put in this is also a waste is not. It should be used by useful people. Wei Guifei said to Empress Eldest Sun.

Empress Eldest Sun was a little moved, "No, what kind of system does the prince want others to accept." This is also a tempering for the crown prince. Li Shimin objected.

The two glanced at Li Shimin and said nothing more. Wei Guifei thought about it, approached the eldest grandson queen and whispered, "When Shen'er enters the palace, I will let him think of a way." ”

"Shen'er can't enter the palace. He was given a three-month ban by Erlang. ”

"What? Add another three months. Then it's about to be spring. ”

"It's okay, if you miss Shen'er. I'll give you a note. You can go to his house to see him, "You have to get permission from the queen to leave the harem."

Li Shimin looked at the two close-fitting women muttering there, mainly because they thought he couldn't hear it, but it was embarrassing that he could still hear it. In the end, Li Shimin chose to remain silent. He also wanted Li Shen to be able to move around more with Li Chengqian. He always thought that Li Shen would definitely be a big help to Li Chengqian in the future.

Within a few days, the news of the robbery of the Tibetan envoys spread throughout Chang'an. Everyone was talking about who dared to rob the Tibetan envoys, and they succeeded under the protection of more than a thousand soldiers.

Li Shimin in the court was furious and sent Li An, the general of the hundred cavalry, to investigate in person. We must destroy this gang of thieves. He also gave more than 1,000 horses and swords to the Tibetan delegation to return to Tibet. The 2,000 elite soldiers of Zuo Wuwei personally escorted them out of the customs, in fact, they were not allowed to buy books and solicit craftsmen.

And Li Shen was grounded in the palace and had nothing to do, and devoted himself to the development of hand crossbows, and ancient bows and crossbows were the main means of long-range strikes in combat. The range of an ordinary bow is about two hundred meters. The effective killing is only about 100 meters. And the crossbow is divided into sizes. The range is long and powerful. Therefore, since ancient times, all dynasties and generations have forbidden crossbows and bows. And the technology of making crossbows is also strictly managed.

However, many people have discovered why there are more bows and arrows on the battlefield and fewer crossbows. In fact, bows and arrows have the advantages of bows and arrows, the first is that the rate of fire is fast, and the archers can shoot out a pot of arrows in a short time after training. And crossbows are wound too slowly, especially powerful crossbow arrows.

Secondly, the crossbow is fired horizontally, which takes up too much space. The bow is shot vertically and is highly dense.

What Li Shen wants to do is a compound crossbow (which has been reported to Li Shimin), with an effective killing rate of about 200 meters and a maximum range of about 300 meters. The main thing is the material constraints. There is a big gap with the bows and crossbows of later generations. Li Shen invested a lot of money to buy metals to experiment with the hardness of various alloys. I've been trying for more than a year.

Nowadays, relatively hard materials have been found. Li Shen is planning to study the steelmaking method. The most difficult part of a compound crossbow is making a pulley. The steel balls inside are required to be the same size. It's too harsh

Just after Zhengyuan, everyone was still in the joy of the New Year, but there was an extremely tense atmosphere in King Ji's mansion. At this moment, there are only three people in Li Shen's study: Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui, and Wei Fugui.

"What about the casualties," Li Shen asked with a gloomy face

"Our people are fine, mainly the guards of the various provinces outside have killed and injured more than 100 people." Xue Rengui replied
