Chapter 384: Going to court (1)

Li Jing and Qin Qiong saw Li Feng and immediately walked up.

"Li Feng, why are you here?" Qin Qiong asked.

Li Feng rolled his eyes and said: "Old Qin, although I, the director of the Firearms Bureau, am a hands-off shopkeeper and you are in charge of almost everything, I am also the director of the Firearms Bureau after all.

The two of you jointly signed the memorial, but you didn't even say a word to me. If His Majesty hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it. How embarrassing I would have been."

Li Jing and Qin Qiong looked at each other.

Qin Qiong said: "This is not what you meant. You asked me to make a plan with Li Jing. Why did you forget it only two days later?"

"I asked you to make the calculation, not to give you a discount. Forget it, let's not talk about this matter. I hope to make up for it later in the court. It's not too late."

Li Jing said: "Why, are you worried about the memorial between the two of us?"

Li Feng sighed and said: "It's hard to rest assured. You don't understand the firearms thing. One mistake can harm others and yourself. Forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes."

"Okay, boy, you actually look down on us two veterans so much. I really want to see what you have in mind." Li Jing said.

"You will know at the meeting." Li Feng smiled mysteriously.

Qin Qiong smiled and said: "Li Jing, this kid's ideas may really be different from ours. We might as well wait and see."

"That's fine, this brat specializes in surprising people, so let's just look forward to it." Li Jing smiled.

Fang Xuanling and others who were chatting also saw Li Feng, stopped chatting, and walked over slowly.

"Li Feng, seeing you going to court, do you have anything to do?" Fang Xuanling asked with a smile.

Li Feng smiled and said: "I came here to find a way out for my incompetent disciples."

"Don't say it's a joke. Now that you are the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, can't you arrange several disciples?" Du Ruhui said.

"How many disciples? Lao Du, you really look down on me. Have you forgotten that I still have a group of disciples who are mining."

"I see."

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others stopped talking about this topic. Everyone knew the final destination of Li Feng's group of disciples.

This is a secret and it is not convenient for anyone to talk about it. Even their family members are not qualified to ask.

At this moment, the palace door opened, and a eunuch came out to invite everyone to come to court.

In the Xuanzheng Hall, all the ministers knelt and sat on the left and right sides in a step-by-step manner.

The morning court in the Tang Dynasty was quite humane. You didn't have to stand, you just sat on your knees. When you were tired, you could change positions.

Li Er walked to the dragon chair and sat down. The civil and military officials below shouted three times as a greeting ceremony.

"My dear friends, please rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone sat upright.

Li Er looked at everyone and said: "The fifteenth day of next month is the day of the scientific examination. Master Kong, Master Yan, and Master Li, the three of you have already prepared."

Kong Yingda said: "Your Majesty, I, Master Yan, and Master Li will each come up with a question. Your Majesty, please choose a question."

Li Er nodded and said: "Okay. Auxiliary machine, the officials must prepare well for this imperial examination, especially the Jinshi and Mingjing subjects."

Changsun Wuji knelt down and said, "Yes. The Ministry of Finance has already started making preparations."

"Okay." Li Er nodded, and then looked at Li Jing, "Pharmacist, yesterday you and Shu Bao jointly submitted a letter saying that the Firearms Bureau's red cannon has been developed and can it be used on the battlefield?"

"Yes." Li Jing said, "As long as the red cannon is mounted on the city wall, it will be more than ten times more powerful than the Eight Ox Crossbow."

Cheng Yaojin said: "It's stronger than the Eight Bull Crossbow, so if the Turks want to attack us, they will suffer a big loss?"

Li Jing smiled and said: "If they dare to come, they will definitely be asked to come standing and leave lying down."

"That's great." Cheng Yaojin laughed.

The other civil and military ministers became happy one after another.

Li Er also laughed happily: "Very good, how many red cannons are there now?"

"Three doors."

"so little?"

Qin Qiong said: "Your Majesty, the Firearms Bureau has too few manpower to mass produce it."

Li Er nodded and said: "I understand. Tang Jian, you have arranged how many manpower the Firearms Bureau needs."

"Yes." Tang Jian responded.

Li Er started to say again: "Li Feng."

Li Feng, who was sitting at the end, immediately said: "I'm here."

"Come to the front, I can't see you." Li Er said.

Li Feng stood up immediately and walked forward slowly, constantly muttering in his heart: "I'm standing at the back, it's weird that you can see me."

Li Er waited for Li Feng to come forward and said: "Li Feng, I ask you, how many red cannons does Datang need to build?"

"Your Majesty, the red cannon is a weapon of mass destruction, and any number is suitable." Li Feng said.

Li Er nodded and said: "I think so too. As the director of the Firearms Bureau, do you think it will be difficult for you to build a hundred red cannons within three months?"

Li Feng said: "As long as there are enough materials and manpower, there will be no problem."

"If you're missing anything, go to Tang Jian."

"Yes." Li Feng responded: "Your Majesty, if the red cannons are working with muskets and grenades, even the strongest Xuanjia army in the Tang Dynasty can easily defeat them."

"He speaks arrogant words." The person who spoke was none other than Chai Shao.

He never saw Li Feng again after returning to Chang'an. He was afraid of seeing Li Feng and wanted to kill Li Feng.

Li Feng looked at Chai Shao, who might be his future father-in-law, and said: "General Chai, are you arrogant? Let's just practice it. I will use three hundred people to deal with three thousand, no, thirty thousand Xuan

Army A is so good."

"Hiss~~" Everyone took a deep breath.

Li Feng's tone was really too loud, three hundred versus thirty thousand, and thirty thousand was the strongest Xuanjia army in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Er frowned slightly every day. He once challenged Dou Jiande's army with 500 Xuanjia troops. It was also based on an ambush, but the drill was a head-on confrontation.

He really didn't know where Li Feng's confidence lay.

"Hahaha... What a big joke. This is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life." Chai Shao laughed.

"Whether it's a joke or not, you won't know until you compare it." Li Feng said.

Niu Jinda said: "Li Feng, the total number of Xuanjia troops in the Tang Dynasty is only 30,000. These 30,000 Xuanjia troops shocked the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty.

Now you want 300 people to deal with 30,000 Xuanjia troops, isn't that too much?"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know after the comparison. Your Majesty, since we don't have thirty thousand mysterious armors, we can use thirty thousand ordinary cavalry or soldiers. This is just a show." Li Feng said.

"This matter can be considered. Li Jing, you are the Minister of War. I will leave this matter to you. The time will be after the imperial examination." Li Er said.

"I obey your order," Li Jing said.

Li Er looked at the others and spoke again: "Li Feng, yesterday an envoy from Fusang Kingdom wrote a letter asking to return to the country. What do you think?"
