Seeing Kong Yingda crying with excitement, Du He knew that this business was stable.
The only regret is that the price was not raised a little higher at that time. The old man looked like he wouldn't care even if it cost 100,000 yuan.
Sure enough, Kong Yingda was seen holding the painting, as if he was afraid that Du He would regret it: "Okay, ten thousand dollars, I will give it to you right away."
Kong Yingda turned around and entered the Imperial Academy. After a while, someone brought out a large box. After opening it, there was a full ten ounces of money inside.
Du He said with a smile: "It is said that Master Kong has a breeze in his sleeves. I didn't expect that he would hide so much money in private."
Kong Yingda blushed.
Du He waved his hand: "Let's go back to the furniture factory."
Du He just turned around and saw Zhao Yang walking towards this direction with several eunuchs.
Du He hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Zhao, stay!"
Du He wanted Zhao Yang to tell Li Er that all 5,000 volumes of Imperial College books had been printed and delivered for use.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yang saw Du He from a distance, turned around and ran away.
Du He was stunned.
Is this guy so awesome?
Kong Yingda reminded: "No one knows your reputation as the Great Demon King Du He, but no one wants to provoke you!"
"Get out of here..."
Du He got on his horse and left with the convoy.
As soon as he arrived at the foot of the imperial city, he was stopped by Wen Buren.
Wen Buren said: "Du He, Your Majesty invites you to come to the Imperial Study Room to speak."
"No, I don't have time!" Du He refused.
Wen Buren's expression changed: "Your Majesty is looking for you because of the cannon."
That day, Li Er asked Du He for a cannon. Du He proposed to marry two princesses, but Li Er shot him out.
He thought to himself, it seems that there is something interesting about this matter!
Du He asked the others to go back to the furniture factory, and he took Lu Bu towards the palace.
When he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he saw Zhao Yang guarding the door and said, "Sir, Lantian County, your Majesty is dealing with political affairs. Please wait at the door for a moment."
Du He grabbed Zhao Yang and asked, "Why did you run away in a hurry when you saw me just now? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Zhao Yang said hurriedly: "Misunderstanding, county magistrate, I just saw you. I was just anxious to come back and report to Your Majesty. I have no other intention."
"No wonder His Majesty knew I had been here, huh, you traitor!"
Zhao Yang: "..."
When Zhao Yang turned around and went in, Du He sat at the door and waited.
He saw a clump of bamboo at the door of the royal study, and he became more playful, so he took out his dagger, cut one, and brought it over. In a short time, he made a simple paper cannon. The barrel of the cannon was made of bamboo and behind it was a wooden stick.
, the wooden stick was wrapped in wet paper.
As for the cannonballs, they were also made into lumps with wet paper.
As soon as it was done, I heard Zhao Yang's voice coming from inside: "Xuan, Du He has an audience."
Du He hurriedly patted his butt and stood up, walking towards the study.
When he walked to the door, Du He saw Zhao Yang standing next to Li Er, with his head raised and his chest held high.
So he raised the paper cannon he had just made.
Zhao Yang saw Du He's movements and didn't care. He thought to himself, there is nothing to be afraid of with a piece of bamboo.
Snapped.
The paper flick hit Zhao Yang on the forehead.
Zhao Yang groaned and accidentally dropped his hat on Li Er's table.
boom.
Li Eryi slammed the table and said angrily: "Zhao Yang, do you want to die?"
Zhao Yang quickly knelt on the ground: "Slave, this slave is unjust, Your Majesty!"
Li Er took a closer look and saw Du He walking in at the door with a smile on his face.
Li Er said angrily: "You Du He, you dare to beat up even my servant, what crime do you deserve?"
Du He stepped forward and said quickly: "Your Majesty, calm down, calm down, I just demonstrated my new invention."
With that said, he quickly handed over the paper cannon he made.
Li Er took it and studied it, and tried to shoot two paper bullets. He was amazed: "This is a small paper cannon, but it is not surprising. It can only be regarded as something for children to play with, but if a skilled craftsman can make a little more
Transformation, can it be transformed into something like a cannon?"
As smart as Li Er, he could see at a glance that this thing has broad application prospects.
Du He shook his head: "Theoretically it's possible, but in practice it's very complicated. With Datang's technology, it's not possible yet."
"well……"
Li Er glanced at Du He and thought to himself, what is this kid's brain made of? How could he have such weird ideas.
Then he asked Du He to sit down and said, "I'm looking for you today for two reasons."
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
Du He was already thinking about how to get some benefits this time.
He would definitely not do anything without benefits.
Just listen to Li Er say: "The first thing is the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. An urgent report came from the front line. Tubo has mobilized troops on a large scale and may launch an attack on the border of the Tang Dynasty at any time. I have asked Li Shiji to
Two generals, Niu Jinda, led a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to rush to the border. There was bound to be a fierce battle. And this happened all because of you, Du He, it's now, and you still want to hide it, but you are still reluctant to hand over the cannon.
?"
Li Er came up to threaten Du He first, but his real purpose was to use cannons.
Du He doesn't like this.
I saw a chuckle: "Your Majesty, you are right in the front, but you are wrong in the back. What does it mean to start because of me? First of all, I am the victim. That bastard Gongsong Zanbu attacked the furniture factory and caused me harm.
Who should I talk to about the loss? Secondly, Gongsong Zanbu was not killed by me, but by the young man in white. What does it have to do with me?"
"Then you dare to say that Xu Zhengdao, the young man in white, does not live in your furniture factory and you are harboring him. What crime should you be guilty of?"
Du He and Li Er looked at each other without any fear: "Then your Majesty, you should send someone to kill him. I don't care!"
"you……"
Faced with such a rogue Du He, Li Er didn't know what to do.
Fight, this kid really can't fight.
Even if you scold me, it seems to have no effect.
Finally, Li Er rubbed his head and said, "Tell me, how can you hand over the cannon?"
Du He stood up and said with a smile: "It's very simple!"
"How simple?"
"Exchange the cannon for money." Du He held out five fingers and said, "Your Majesty, for 500,000 taels of silver, I will give you the cannon and the technology to make the cannon. How about a one-time deal? Is it a good deal?"
Although silver is not circulating now, this thing is hard currency.
When Li Er heard this, his eyes widened immediately and he pointed at Du He: "You are a lion, even my treasury does not have so much money now. There is a famine in Shandong and Henan, and the border is in a hurry. Money and food are flowing out like water.
How do I collect so much money? Besides, why do you want so much money? Do you want to rebel?"
Du He didn't take it seriously and said: "Your Majesty, I have no choice. I am poor. Don't look at my small farm and study. There are now a hundred people. There are more than a hundred mouths to eat. How can I do it without some money?
, Besides, if your majesty thinks it is too expensive, then just don’t buy it, just think about Tubo. Why do we need 100,000 cavalry in the Tang Dynasty? 50,000, we only need 50,000 to defeat Tubo.”
