The Emperor's Son-in-Law

"Cooperate with my Inner Court Department?"

"Have you thought about this matter?"

The emperor asked thoughtfully.

"Weichen has written a memorial, which clearly states all Weichen's thoughts."

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Duan Chun took out the memorial he had prepared from his sleeve.

"Gao Fu, keep it."

"I will give you my approval after I read it tonight."

The emperor hadn't finished eating the mutton yet, so how could he bother to read Duan Chun's memorial?

Then he took the chopsticks and bowl and started eating.

Li Gaofu held back his saliva and had to keep adding meat to the pot...

After Duan Chun handed over the memorial, he walked to the last wooden box.

He picked up a bundle of arrows from inside and turned around to come to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, this is the spiral armor-piercing arrow specially made by Weichen for Weichen's father."

"Weichen's father has personally tried it. He can easily break through the armor within thirty steps with the five-stone Sky-fixing Bow."

Duan Chun said with the arrow in his arms.

"Spiral Armor-piercing Arrow!"

The emperor quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks, stood up in surprise and walked to Duan Chun.

He stretched out his hand and picked up a long, shiny arrow, tapping the arrowhead lightly with his fingers.

"The length of this arrowhead is far twice as long as the Ordnance Department's regular arrowheads."

"I have never seen the material of this arrowhead before..."

The emperor's eyes widened in surprise, and he waved...

Uh-huh!

The arrow in the emperor's hand immediately flew towards the wooden pillar on the side.

With a clang, the arrow was firmly nailed to the wooden pillar.

A look of surprise immediately appeared on the emperor's face.

He has been fighting for more than twenty years and has used countless arrows.

According to the emperor's experience, if the arrow is thrown with such power.

The pillars in the palace are all made of the hardest wood.

The two-winged arrowheads would leave at most one mark on the pillar before being bounced to the ground.

At most, it will only knock off a little paint.

A three-sided arrowhead may be nailed to a pillar, but it will fall to the ground at the slightest touch.

The emperor still had a clear understanding of his own power.

He waved hard and saw that the arrow was firmly nailed to a wooden pillar on one side!

The emperor walked over and stretched out his hand, only to find that he needed some strength to pull it off directly.

Look at the small hole in the wooden post where a trap went.

The emperor's eyes became hot instantly!

"Come here, bring me my bow."

The emperor shouted.

"My slave obeys the order."

"Hurry and get the royal bow."

Li Gaofu shouted loudly.

The chamberlains quickly turned and left.

With the arrival of the long bow, the emperor drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

call out!

Phew!

Three arrows were shot out in succession, leaving His Majesty the Emperor in disbelief.

This new spiral arrow can actually be nailed to a rockery rock in front.

Shoot the stone through a small hole!

The emperor knew very well that using other arrows could only achieve less than one-third of the effect.

This shows how amazing the power of this arrow is!

And Duan Chun just said that the cost of this new arrow is half the cost of the previous copper arrowheads!

The emperor was already extremely pleasantly surprised...

"Duan Chun, I have read your memorial."

"This arrow is made of the new material you developed."

"The cost is much cheaper than the three-edged arrows made of copper by your father."

"But I see that the material you used is very heavy, heavier than the arrowhead of the double-winged arrow."

"How did you do it?"

The emperor turned and asked.

"Your Majesty, I usually like to study some new things blindly."

“I discovered that when pig iron is smelted, you only need to add a little bit of other materials.”

"This will turn pig iron into the new material it is today."

"Not only is it much tougher than pig iron, it's also stronger than bronze."

"So Weichen did some experiments with his own hands at Dadi's Farm."

"I didn't expect it to actually come out."

"That's why I dedicated it to my father to replace the bronze material my father used to make arrows."

Duan Chun narrated the situation.

"Okay, that's great!"

"Duan Chun, I ask you, can this material be widely promoted?"

"Help me build more arrows?"

The emperor asked in surprise.

"This... Your Majesty."

"It's not that Wei Chen is worried, Wei Chen feels that this kind of material..."

"It's better not to promote it to the outside world."

"Your Majesty wants this kind of material. I can help you smelt a lot of it."

"But once this material gets out, it becomes public."

"It's not a good thing for Dakang and His Majesty."

"Especially during the period when Dakang and Northern Xia were in conflict."

"Wei Chen is worried..."

Duan Chun quickly persuaded.

"Good boy, you are much smarter than your father."

"Now we start to worry about the hidden enemies hidden in our Dakang."

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

The emperor asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the secret of this arrow and new material."

"Weichen thinks it's better to keep it a secret for now."

"It was secretly built by Wei Chen's father's farm, and was first used by the heroic cavalry guards to deal with the Xirong in the western border."

"Thoroughly test the power of this arrow."

"After the battle in the Western Territory is over, His Majesty will come and hand it over to the Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory in batches."

"The two elders, Zhen Guo Gong and An Guo Gong, will take control and let the frontline troops master the skills of using arrows first."

"This way, Your Majesty can rest easy."

"To prevent the secrets from being leaked, let Beixia and the many foreign countries in the east prepare in advance."

"This is what I am thinking."

Duan Chun said.

"You want to build a new ordnance workshop in your father's farm."

"Help me build a new ordnance workshop..."

The emperor's eyes sparkled when he heard this.

He knew very well that his Dakang must unify the world in the future!

This is his biggest goal now.

But after the founding of the country, the emperor found that managing the world was more troublesome than he had imagined.

The various forces constrained, and the officials in the empire had their own thoughts.

He even had to be careful of his own son now...

Duan Chun's words completely touched the emperor's heart.

The problem of treasury revenue that the emperor is most worried about now is actually to strengthen Dakang's military strength.

To prepare for his future unification of the world.

But eleven years have passed, and the situation of the Dakang Military Department's Ordnance Department.

It has made the emperor more and more headache.

The workshops of the Ordnance Department are now controlled by the major families.

Officials of the Ministry of War, and the chief officers of the Armoury Department in the military workshops in various places.

Most of them are the property of the major families or the management of their confidants.

The emperor once tried to take down several officials of the Ministry of War and some managers of the military workshops.

But after changing a group of people, the result was still the same.

The major families just handed over the original military workshops to other families to avoid the emperor's attention.

And they took over several other military workshops.

After all the trouble, the emperor found that 90% of the officials in the court came from the major families!

Lack of money, lack of people, and lack of power.

This is the most troublesome thing for the emperor now.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"For Your Majesty's sake, I don't trust any of the previous military equipment and military workshops."

"My father is loyal to Your Majesty, and I am of course a loyal subject to Your Majesty."

"In today's Dakang, my father and I have nothing but Your Majesty's trust."

"We dare not get too close to anyone."

"So I think that if you build a military workshop in the future, Your Majesty can no longer let others intervene."

"Your Majesty must be in charge personally to be assured."

"Therefore, I think putting the military workshop on my father's farm."

"It is the most favorable choice for Your Majesty at present."

Duan Chun said.
