Gao Shaoyi scanned the room when he came in. Unexpectedly, the two old princes were also there. Since they were both there, the matter should be resolved immediately. If these two were not here, even if he raised it himself, I am afraid the emperor would have to ask for it.
Discuss with them.
"You have been very successful recently. You just captured the Dongdi Kingdom, and then the Rakshasa Empire. You just don't know what you want to do next. Could it be that you have your eye on another country?"
The emperor had tried very hard to control his emotions, but when he thought of Gao Shaoyi's arrogant look in the newspaper, he couldn't control it immediately. The two old princes on both sides also felt bitter in their hearts. Why didn't the emperor know how to suppress it?
It's really inappropriate to expose one's thoughts under such circumstances. After spending so many years in the officialdom, why can't he be worse than a child now?
"This is all due to the emperor's wise guidance, coupled with the bloody battles of the soldiers, I just got an advantage in vain, and it cannot be regarded as my contribution at all."
Gao Shaoyi said very modestly that this attitude won the favor of the two old princes. No matter what happened in the past, at least in this confrontation just now, the emperor really lost, and he still lost to his own nephew.
, Fortunately, there are no outsiders here. If there were outsiders, I don’t know how many people would be disappointed if this word spread. After all, the emperor still has many supporters across the country. The Daqian dynasty has been established for so many years, and it is impossible to do it overnight.
It fell apart, but if they knew that the emperor was so narrow-minded, I'm afraid these people would have to change their families.
"You don't need to say these pretentious words. I also know that you don't have the time to waste time with me. From now on, the threshold here will be getting higher and higher. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
The emperor also quickly realized that he was wrong. If he continued to talk about the topic just now, he would only expose his shortcomings, so the emperor quickly changed the subject to see what Gao Shaoyi was doing here.
"Weichen invites the emperor to cut the ribbon. The day after tomorrow, on the eighth day of the lunar month, Weichen has already found someone to see it. It is indeed a good day. I am going to ask you to cut the ribbon for the Imperial Arsenal."
Speaking of the Imperial Arsenal, the three people present looked at each other. In the center of the Jingxi Industrial Zone, there was a large fence guarded by the army. Inside was the Imperial Arsenal. According to the fragmentary information they had received, the Imperial Arsenal should be in the east.
It is the largest arsenal in the region, and it can also be ranked among the top five in terms of output in the world.
Gao Shaoyi was always hidden in the past. No matter what officials the court sent to understand the situation, they could only go around in the end. No matter what the development inside was like, many people outside didn't know about it at all, so there was a lot of mystery.
Color, I didn’t expect that it would be completed now, and the emperor would be invited to cut the ribbon.
"You usually protect this place like a baby. I want to know what kind of weapons can be produced in your arsenal?"
The emperor seemed to say casually, but in fact he really wanted to understand the situation inside. Now all the major arsenals in the world have nothing to do with the Daqian Dynasty. The reason why there were so many military failures in the early years was also because of the Western countries.
The ships are strong and the artillery is powerful. If we have such a large arsenal, even if it is controlled by the suppressing army, it will be a good thing for the Daqian Dynasty. At least we will not need to buy weapons so expensive.
Save a lot of money.
"Back to the emperor, most of the weapons in the world can be produced, but the production lines have not all been opened, so now we can only arm one infantry brigade every month."
When Gao Shaoyi said these words, the people next to him were so angry that they were so angry. What is an infantry brigade? Even if it is not according to the establishment of your suppressing army, according to the establishment of the new army, an infantry brigade is close to Tens of thousands of people and a variety of weapons and equipment are not a small number, including various types of artillery. If all the former arsenals of the Daqian Empire are assembled, I am afraid they will not be able to produce that much in a month. What you have here is just It was done in a factory, and it was obviously just to show off.
Of course Gao Shaoyi didn't tell the truth. If all the production lines were opened, they would be able to satisfy at least two infantry brigades a month, giving them limited disclosure of the facts. This is already quite good.
"Why do you need me to cut the ribbon for your own arsenal?"
The emperor's words started to pour acid. To be honest, this arsenal is located around the capital and is extremely important to the entire Daqian Empire. It can arm more than 10,000 people in a month and can arm more than 10,000 people in a year. Armed with hundreds of thousands of people, if it can be in the hands of the imperial court, it would be a happy thing, but the emperor also knows that it is impossible. Unless your army can attack, otherwise this arsenal and It doesn't matter if you pay half a dime.
"Could it be that the Emperor has forgotten that this arsenal was also nominated by you, so it would be more appropriate for you to cut the ribbon, not to mention that Weichen has a share distribution plan..."
Gao Shaoyi took out a memorial, and Eunuch Wei hurriedly sent it to him. The emperor himself could directly own ten percent of the dry stock. This was something he had never thought of. Gao Shaoyi had always had the meat in his mouth. Without spitting it out, if we directly gave the emperor 10% of the shares, it would be a lot of money this year.
Not to mention that the emperor didn't understand it, even the two old princes next to him didn't understand it. The two of them were old foxes. Now the Suppression Army didn't need to beg them, so why should they give away this share? ? Of course, the two of them are not stupid. What Gao Shaoyi gave away must only be the right to dividends. If you want to interfere with the operation of the entire factory, then the shares will be declared invalid immediately. This kind of thing has happened before.
"No reward for no merit, tell me what's going on?"
Of course the emperor is aware of the huge profits of arms. According to the production capacity of this arsenal, if there is a 10% dividend every year, it will be more than millions of silver coins. Such a large amount of property will be given away directly, even if you are now extremely rich. Gao Shaoyi, that also requires deep consideration.
What is going on here? If the emperor doesn't figure it out, he will never put this asset in his sleeves, lest he burn his hands. Everyone is not a fool these days, how could it be possible? What about the free lunch? And it was Gao Shaoyi’s lunch.
