Become a feudal king from today

"Four miles away."

"Four miles." Chang Wei and the generals took a breath when this number was said.

Chang Wei was stunned for a long time, then slowly exhaled, "Your Highness is truly a god."

The experiment was a great success and everyone returned to the palace.

The generals suddenly became extremely attentive.

"Hehe... Your Highness, please have some tea."

"Hehe... Your Highness, I will give you a kick in the leg."

"..."

The palace hall of the royal palace.

Feng'er couldn't stand Chang Wei's crazy smile, his eyes were weird.

Some of the other generals served him tea, some poured him water, some beat his legs, and some squeezed his shoulders.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, hurry up." Zhao Xu couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at a group of men covered in smelly sweat.

Chang Wei stood up, stood in front of Zhao Xu, and asked like a barrage: "Your Highness, what is the output of this artillery? When will it be trained and when will it be deployed in the army?"

The generals pricked up their ears.

The power of this artillery completely convinced them.

In the past, soldiers in the army would brag about their personal bravery, saying that they could catch firecracker shells with their bare hands.

Now they would never dare to boast that they could catch artillery shells with their bare hands.

"The output is still good. We can still achieve more than a hundred guns a month. Training can start now. Let the former artillery soldiers serve as artillery. We have to wait until the artillery soldiers are proficient." Zhao Xu said slowly.

When Chang Wei and others heard this, they all laughed, and it was done.

When he returned, he had the artillerymen undergo life-threatening training. In at least a month, the army would have hundreds of artillery pieces.

Mo Yu lamented: "If this thing is placed at the top of Yanguan City, why worry about Beidi going south..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the generals staring directly at him.

Chang Wei geared up, "Mo Yu, although you are from Yanguan, if the news about the artillery leaks out, don't blame us for being rude."

Others nodded in agreement.

Mo Yu swallowed.

This artillery is King Yan's secret weapon, which is intended to strike the enemy by surprise.

If such a powerful weapon were to be spread, it would inevitably attract prying eyes from many parties.

"Who do you think I, Mo Yu, am? Since I have served His Highness, I will only have His Highness in my heart from now on." Mo Yu's chest was slapped loudly.

Now even if his father holds the knife to his neck, he won't leave.

Since joining the royal army, the sophisticated weapons and armor of King Yan's soldiers have been eye-opening to him.

More importantly, there is no intrigue here. Everyone from the generals to the soldiers hold the same ambition, which is to defend the land and resist the enemy.

Unlike the generals at Yanguan who only care about their promotion and wealth.

Now, King Yan has added such a sharp weapon to his army.

In his opinion, only here can he realize his dream of expelling Beidi.

"That's good." Chang Wei's eyes softened.

Lu Chang, Bai Shang and other generals patted Mo Yu on the shoulder, meaning that this was one of their own.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly.

He can't trust someone who is in Cao's camp but whose heart is with Han.

With Zhao Xu's promise, the generals felt comfortable.

He bowed and said goodbye to him.

They couldn't wait to return to the military camp and study how to use artillery on the battlefield.

As soon as the generals left, the servant informed Liu Fu that he was coming.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with these generals? They seem to have given birth to sons one by one." When he came, he met Chang Wei and the others.

These guys winked at him, quite proudly.

"It's almost like giving birth to a son." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

It is estimated that for a long time in the future, these generals will probably regard the artillerymen as their own sons.

Liu Fu didn't understand what it meant, but he had important things to do right now, so he didn't mention it.

Holding the account book in his hand, Liu Fu felt sad and said, "Your Highness, money can't be spent like water. The treasury will be empty."

Zhao Xu looked at the expenses and surplus in the account book, and his heart ached.

The engineer continued to pay, and when he came back, he allocated another sum of money to the shipbuilding department.

Previously, there were expenditures for Yahang, expenditures for pro-army soldiers, soldiers' salaries, and officials' salaries.

And in order to cope with the upcoming recruitment of new soldiers, the Military Division purchased huge amounts of raw materials.

Now add the manufacture of artillery.

The sum of several items combined and the money in the treasury plummeted like a cliff.

"There is also Shanggu County. Now all the expenses are paid to the palace. Those local wealthy families don't know how to pay a tael of silver. Your Highness, if this continues for a long time, Shanggu County will only become a burden." Liu Fu gritted his teeth.

He had just returned from Shanggu County, where he spent every day like a year.

The officials there all treated him with both positive and negative intentions.

It is difficult to implement the decrees issued.

The wealthy families will always find various reasons to delay the implementation of government decrees.

Every time he saw a wealthy official from Shanggu County, he wanted to kill him with a knife.

Zhao Xu frowned and asked, "Have they handed over the occupied land?"

"If you handed it over, does it mean you didn't hand it over?" Liu Fu said angrily: "After the official returned the land to the people, the local wealthy family secretly used idle men to coerce and induce the people to sign a sale contract. Such a case was discovered by the official Not only at the same time, but in the end we can only deal with individual children of wealthy families. "

"It's true that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below." A smile emerged from the corner of Zhao Xu's mouth, but the smile was very cold.

For him, time is precious, and he does not have that long to play with the wealthy people of Shanggu County.

Now it's time to think of a way to eliminate these wealthy families and let the royal government's orders pass.

So he said: "I have a way to solve this problem once and for all."

"Please give me your advice, Your Highness." Liu Fu was delighted.

"Check for corruption!" Zhao Xu spit out two words.

There is no official from a wealthy family who is not greedy while in office.

As long as corruption is investigated, all these wealthy families will be put in jail.

Liu Fu's expression changed, "Your Highness, you are really forcing them to rebel. The total number of private soldiers of the wealthy families in Shanggu County is not a small number."

"A few days ago, I was a little worried about the loss of troops, but I am not worried anymore." Zhao Xu said.

Aren't they arrogant? He wanted to see if it was their attack or his artillery attack.

"Since His Highness said this, I am relieved." Liu Fu suddenly felt that the anger in his heart dissipated instantly.

Since following King Yan, his wish has always been to free the people from the land of the wealthy families.

This has never changed.

Now Yan County has done it, but in King Yan's territory, Shanggu County is still like a piece of porcelain that has not been wiped clean.

Now, he was going to wipe him clean.

Zhao Xu nodded. After what happened to Zhang Kang, he realized a lot.

You can't always wait for these guys to set you up.

This time, he wanted to get rid of these scourges openly and openly, not by conspiracy.

"Your Highness, there is still money." Liu Fuli reminded him before leaving, with a resentful expression.

Zhao Xu waved his hand to let him leave in peace, showing that he knew what he was doing.

Liu Fu left, and Zhao Xu pinched his brows in pain.

This is just the beginning. As the stalls get bigger and bigger, there will only be more and more places to use money in the future.

It is necessary to open up new ways of making money now.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered.

Tong San has been walking for a long time. Even if he goes back slowly, it is time to reach the capital.
