Chapter 43: Let's get a class
Then, Zhu Tianyu asked again: "I wonder how many ordnance His Highness wants to build?"
The corners of Chu Mo's mouth twitched, and he was confident: "Use these hollow wood to build 100,000 spears and millions of arrows." Then use ordinary wood to make 200,000 spears and 2,000,000 arrows. If you want to deliver the goods within half a month, can you do it?"
In half a month, 300,000 spears and 3 million arrows were created, which was indeed difficult for this workshop.
In wartime, there was an urgent need for military boots, and there were many blacksmiths in the workshop.
It is not difficult to create so many ordnance in half a month, but now there is no major war in the Chu State, so there are naturally a lot fewer blacksmiths in the workshop.
It is not easy to create such a large number of ordnance in half a month.
Therefore, Zhu Tianyu was a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, we have some excess ordnance reserves here." Can you use those spears and arrows that have been made long ago?"
"Is it normal ordnance?"
"Nature is normal. ”
Chu Mo smiled slightly: "Since there are reserves of ordnance, let's take out some of the reserves of ordnance first, and then fill it in later." In that half a month, using these hollow wood to build 100,000 spears and millions of arrows, can Lord Zhu do it?"
"It can be done, it can be done, please rest assured that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will deliver the goods on time. ”
Suddenly reduced two-thirds of the workload, Zhu Tianyu hurriedly smiled and agreed.
The things that should be explained, Chu Mo explained it clearly to Zhu Tianyu.
The rest will wait for half a month later, and the maker will be shipped smoothly here. He can escort this batch of ordnance and go to make a deal with Zhao Zheng, the new emperor of Zhao State, and Zhao Ning, the emperor's uncle.
As for the envoys of Zhao State in the post house, they originally came to borrow soldiers, but Chu Mo said nonsense that this soldier did not borrow it, but bought a bunch of ordnance, and the money they brought with them was definitely not enough.
Moreover, with just a few of them, it is unrealistic to want to escort such a large batch of ordnance from the capital of Chu State back to Zhao State.
So, the next day, Chu Mo went to the post house of Zhao again, met with the envoy of the new emperor Zhao Zheng, and promised that Chu was willing to sell 100,000 spears and 1 million arrows to them, and told them to go back and prepare silver money, and trade them on the border between the two countries a month later.
The exact time and place will be determined at a later date.
These envoys sent by the new emperor Zhao Zheng now got the letter and immediately set off to return to Zhao.
As for the envoy from the imperial uncle Zhao Ning's side, Chu Mo also told them the same, telling them to go back and prepare the money, and in the future, they would sell the 200,000 spears and 2 million arrows to them through the black market.
sent away the two groups of envoys from Zhao State, and the things that Emperor Chu explained to him were half successfully completed.
Next, just wait for the official transaction, after the money and goods are cleared, he will really make a great contribution to the state of Chu.
At that time, I am afraid that above the court, those civil and military officials will no longer dare to have any dispute about the position of the prince.
In the next few days, Chu Mo stayed in the prince's mansion all the time, and when he had time, he calculated the accounting situation of the lotus leaf chicken store, and when he was tired of calculating the accounts, he called the guards of the three or four realms over to practice.
Although these days, the sales of lotus leaf chickens have begun to decline significantly, they can still sell tens of thousands of chickens every day.
This is still a lot of income for Chu Mo, and now this lotus leaf chicken is also his main source of income, so he naturally can't bear to close the store directly.
However, Chu Mo also heard some news, in the past few days in the court, several ministers have made suggestions to Emperor Chu, saying that the prince buys chickens on the street, which damages the royal face.
and the prince abused his power for personal gain, and in the name of the prince, he wantonly collected money from the people, and he should be abolished as the prince.
It's just that when Emperor Chu directly threw out the amount of silver donated by Chu Mo for the people of Qingling and Qingling Prefectures, and asked those ministers, who could raise so much disaster relief funds in such a short period of time.
Those ministers were speechless.
I don't want to do serious things all day long, and I have to stumble on the prince.
Emperor Chu was angry, and rewarded the ministers with several large boards on the spot, which can be regarded as killing chickens to show monkeys.
In the past few days, the court has suddenly been much more peaceful, and no one dares to speak ill of the prince anymore.
So, this time, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Chu Mo was secretly happy in his heart, his lotus leaf chicken could also take advantage of this festival to sell well again.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chu Mo still got up early and practiced martial arts for a few hours, and after having lunch with Xue Xue and Li Jin, Chu Mo instructed Li Jin to check the situation in Jinyutang.
This Golden Jade Hall had just been established, and it was when people's hearts were distracted, and he, the hall master, had never shown up, so it was difficult for these idle people in the rivers and lakes to completely return to their hearts.
Therefore, it is necessary to let Li Jin, the great protector of the Dharma, go to inspect from time to time, so that those people in the rivers and lakes will not listen to Jin Yutang's orders while receiving the reward given by Jin Yutang.
If he wants to build these people into a blade of his own, he must cultivate the cohesion of these people, so that when it is time to really use them, these people will not be a group of stragglers.
After instructing Li Jin to go to Wangjiang Tower, Chu Mo looked at the snowfall with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, do you want to go out with Lone?"
"Okay, good, the Mid-Autumn Festival night is very lively, not only there are all kinds of beautiful lantern festivals, there are a lot of delicious food on the street, fun, and many talented and beautiful people who are invited to enjoy the moon together during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
When I heard the snowfall, I was overjoyed, and my little face was flushed.
"That's good, change into men's clothes, and I'll take you out now. Chu Mo smiled and commanded.
"Okay, you wait, I'll be right away!"
Hearing that he was going to change into men's clothes, the snow pouted, but he thought that he could go out to play, so he quickly changed his clothes.
For her, in fact, it is the same for both men and women, as long as there is good food.
Of course, Chu Mo arranged it this way because what he was going to this time was a place like the Celestial Pavilion.
If the snowfall is a woman's clothes, it is estimated that the door of the Tianren Pavilion will not be able to enter, and wearing men's clothes can be better eye-catching.
Soon, when she changed her clothes, Chu Mo didn't take the prince guard, only a snowfall, and went out.
"Your Highness, the whole capital is very lively tonight, where are we going?"
On the carriage, the snowfall was blushing, and it was called an expectation.
"Don't worry, you'll find out in a moment!"
Chu Mo smiled and sold a pass.
So, when the carriage stopped in front of the Heavenly Pavilion in the evening, Xue Xue only glanced at it, and the whole person was stunned, and he gently urged him, his face was red and white.
"Your Highness......"
"It's all said, don't call His Highness Gu casually outside in the future, Gu is now Mo Chu, Mo Gongzi. Chu Mo glanced at her and reminded.
Xue Xue then pouted and complained: "Childe, with your identity, how can you come to this kind of place? This is a place of fireworks, let's go to other restaurants!"
