Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Zhao Hai entered the Immortal Emperor's study and saluted to the Immortal Emperor. However, the Immortal Emperor did not let Zhao Hai get up. Instead, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, tell me, what have you been doing at the Twelve Guards these days."

As soon as Zhao Hai heard the Immortal Emperor's tone, he knew that the Immortal Emperor must know about the training at the Twelve Guards. He quickly said: "Replying to Your Majesty, the Twelve Guards have recently begun training, but because they have been training for a long time, There was no training, so I only asked them to conduct queue training. The purpose was to let them know the importance of discipline. Only in this way can orders and prohibitions be implemented. Because the Twelve Guards lacked ordnance, the left and right prime ministers did not give the ten The second guard issued any new ordnance, but the previous ordnance at the twelfth guard could no longer be used. Later, the minister ordered it to be made into farm tools and used for farming. Therefore, now the people of the twelfth guard can only use bamboo poles as weapons. , conduct simple queue training." Zhao Hai answered seriously.

After hearing Zhao Hai's words, the Immortal Emperor slapped the table and said loudly: "You still know, why do you need to train like this? Aren't you afraid of embarrassment? My face has been completely embarrassed by you, do you know? Now everyone here in Xiandu calls you General Zhugan, what do you think? Does this name sound good to you?"

Zhao Hai quickly said: "Your Majesty, calm down. I am guilty. Please punish me." Zhao Hai didn't say anything more, he just asked the Immortal Emperor to punish me.

The Immortal Emperor looked at Zhao Hai, took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "I also know the situation at the Twelve Guards. It's not easy for you now. The left and right prime ministers will not give you weapons, and I don't have any in my hands now. As for ordnance, even if Qinglin Mountain can produce some ordnance, all of it is supplied to other armies, so you still have to persist there for a while. It would be better if we could solve the ordnance problem ourselves, but I don't think it is necessary to train with bamboo poles. ."

"Your Majesty, there is a reason why I use bamboo poles for training. There is a large unowned bamboo forest in the Twelve Guards garrison area. The bamboos in the bamboo forest are very tough, so I plan to use those bamboos to train those disciples. The splitting knife is tied into bamboo strips, and then twisted into a bamboo pole. Such a bamboo pole will be very hard and has strong toughness. The most important thing is that as long as the spear tip is installed, it will be a long spear. It is the most economical. The cost of a weapon is high, so I asked the sergeants to use bamboo poles as weapons for training. This way we will need a lot of bamboo poles and no one will doubt us. Then we can cut more bamboos and make gun shafts. Then we only need to install them. By attaching the gun tip, we have a weapon, so I asked them to use bamboo poles as weapons for training."

When the Immortal Emperor heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he looked at Zhao Hai with some confusion and said: "Is this really the case?"

Zhao Hai quickly said: "That's true. Your Majesty, I have a prepared gun barrel here. Please allow me to take it out."

The Immortal Emperor nodded and said: "Okay, take it out." Zhao Hai responded, and then he moved his hand, and a long pole about one foot long appeared in front of him. He lifted the long pole with both hands. stand up.

When the Immortal Emperor pointed at the gun barrel, Wei Xiaode immediately took the gun barrel and brought it in front of the Immortal Emperor. The Immortal Emperor took a look at the gun barrel and found that the gun barrel was only about one grip thick and was not completely round. There is some pressure in the hand. The most important thing is that the outside of the gun barrel is wrapped with a layer of something like hemp rope, which makes the entire gun barrel look a bit rough and a little prickly.

The Immortal Emperor looked at the gun barrel and said: "This is the gun barrel you made? Why is this rough hemp rope used outside?" The Immortal Emperor really didn't understand why this rough hemp rope was used outside. It's not very comfortable to hold in your hand.

Zhao Hai quickly said: "Your Majesty, because those bamboo strips are tied together with this hemp rope, the gun shaft made in this way will not slip and will be very strong."

The Immortal Emperor took the gun barrel and twisted it with his hand. The gun barrel was unscrewed at once, and all the bamboo strips inside were separated. The Immortal Emperor took a closer look at the bamboo strips inside, and found that they were indeed bamboo strips of about the same thickness. , and after simple polishing, it looked very good, and the Immortal Emperor couldn't help but nodded.

Then the Immortal Emperor handed the gun rod to Wei Xiaode next to him, and then said to Zhao Hai: "Your idea is good, let's do this, I will let them make some gun heads and give them to you, you can go back and be good Let’s train. I hope the Twelve Guards can become an army in your hands. As for the rumors this time, let them go. Let the left and right ministers be proud for a while. If there is a chance in the future, it won’t be too late to deal with them.”

Zhao Hai responded, and the Immortal Emperor said: "Get up." After Zhao Hai thanked him, he stood up. The Immortal Emperor glanced at the gun pole again, then he sighed softly and said to Zhao Hai: " Speaking of which, I am still sorry for you. I asked you to go to the Twelve Guards, but I didn't give you any help. I am sorry for you."

Zhao Hai said quickly: "Your Majesty must not say that. I don't dare to take it seriously. Your Majesty has taken great care of me. This time, it is my fault that I did not report to your Majesty in advance. Please forgive me."

The Immortal Emperor waved his hand, then he sighed softly and said: "The left and right prime ministers have recently given all their weapons to the armies in the cities below. Not only have the armies in each city changed their weapons, but they have also begun to expand their armies. They are It’s clear that they are here for me, but you Twelve Guards didn’t give you a single weapon, otherwise you wouldn’t be training with bamboo poles.”

Wei Xiaode said at this time: "Your Majesty, I think this matter can be mentioned at the court meeting, and the two prime ministers can directly distribute ordnance to the Twelve Guards and the Four Guards City, but there is no need to make too many requests. I think the left and right prime ministers should agree, but the ordnance they give to the Twelve Guards and Four Guards must be the worst, but as long as they give it, the Twelve Guards can turn those ordnances into gun heads, So they have weapons."

The Immortal Emperor thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, at the next court meeting, you can mention it to Eunuch Liu. It's best to get this matter done directly. I won't mention it anymore, otherwise the two sides will There are various conditions to be imposed, and if I mention such things, it will be like showing weakness to them, so this matter should be handled by you."

Wei Xiaode responded quickly, and the Immortal Emperor turned to Zhao Hai and said: "Zhao Aiqing, this matter will wrong you again." To be honest, the Immortal Emperor really felt that he was a little sorry for Zhao Hai, a commander of the Twelve Guards. , now that his own army has no weapons, but he can't help Zhao Hai too much, this is really unreasonable.

Zhao Hai quickly said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. This is what I should do. As long as I can serve your Majesty, I will not feel aggrieved." What Zhao Hai said made the Immortal Emperor feel grateful for a while, and the Immortal Emperor stepped forward. He patted Zhao Hai on the shoulder and said: "Okay, Zhao Hai, you are doing well. You can go back first and train when you need to. This is the last time I will take care of the Twelve Guards and Four Guards City. From now on, I will Everything in the Second and Fourth Guards City is for your lord, so go ahead."

Zhao Hai responded, bowed to the Immortal Emperor, and then exited the Immortal Emperor's study. The Immortal Emperor watched Zhao Hai leave, then turned to look at the rough barrel of the gun. He sighed lightly, and then he was cold. He snorted and then said: "The left and right prime ministers, good, really good. It's really cruel to force the general under me to use such a weapon."

Wei Xiaode also spoke at this time: "Your Majesty, the left and right prime ministers are currently expanding their armies. Once their army expansion is completed, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Your Majesty to suppress them. Your Majesty, do you think we should think of a way to suppress them?" Give them a break."

The Immortal Emperor thought for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "Now we and the two left and right Xiang are basically in a state of balance. They want to expand their army, but even if their army expansion is completed, their military strength will not be the same as ours. Among us, if we suppress them at this stage, they will definitely fight back. They may not take action against the Twelve Guards. After all, the Twelve Guards have not yet formed combat effectiveness, but they will take action against the border troops. If that happens, it will only cause more trouble, so it’s better to endure it for now.”

Wei Xiaode nodded, and then said: "Your Majesty, the chamber of commerce formed by the two prime ministers and us, Dongwei, has been robbing people recently. Some businessmen have joined their sect under their coercion and inducement. , now among the cities in the fairy world, there are about two levels of merchants controlled by us, and there are also about two levels of merchants controlled by the left and right phases, and the remaining merchants have begun to automatically fight for groups to form together. Now The situation is almost obvious, whoever can win over these businessmen who are united will become the biggest winner."

The Immortal Emperor nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "You said those businessmen have started to form a group. Can they really survive?"

Wei Xiaode shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's really hard to say, but Your Majesty, the prices of some commodities on the market have increased a lot. It is obvious that those merchants are preparing to increase prices to make up for the high costs. If the loss of tax revenue continues at this rate, the price of supplies will skyrocket, which is also very dangerous."

Upon hearing what Wei Xiaode said, the Immortal Emperor couldn't help but be startled, and then his expression couldn't help but change. He then said: "I said before that agricultural taxes must not be increased, but if the price of goods increases, it will be equivalent to a disguised increase. If agricultural taxes are raised, then the world will really be in chaos, and if that’s the case, it will really be over.”

Wei Xiaode said in a deep voice: "Yes, Your Majesty, so at this time, the old slave feels that we must find a way to prevent the price of the product from increasing, because once the price of the product goes up, it is not easy to bring it down. ”

The Immortal Emperor nodded, and then said: "Come here, call Liu Banban." Immediately, the young eunuch responded, and then went to call Liu Zhong. For such a big event, the Immortal Emperor felt that it was necessary to Liu Zhong was present and he could only be sure by discussing it with them. As it was just the two of them, he was worried that there was no good solution.

Soon Liu Zhong arrived at the Immortal Emperor's study. After paying homage to the Immortal Emperor, the Immortal Emperor asked Wei Xiaode to tell Liu Zhong what they had discussed before. Liu Zhong also looked solemn after hearing Wei Xiaode's words. This matter It was indeed very difficult to deal with, and he didn't have a good solution for a while.
