The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 39

Li Shimin was completely shocked by these two weapons.Especially the eight-ox crossbow, which Li Shimin did not expect.If you put him on the city wall, it will be used for defense.Then the city will be impenetrable.

"Qingque, is it difficult to make these two weapons? Can they be mass-produced?" Li Shimin asked Li Tai after calming down.

"The production process is indeed a bit complicated, so mass production is very difficult. However, Qingque is confident that it will provide a batch for the emperor in the shortest possible time. But this..." Li Tai said with a smile on his face.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shimin.Li Shimin said to Li Tai: "Don't tell me that you have no money. 3000 taels of silver is enough for you to toss around for a while. And your 33 Chongtian, that money tree is here. Do you still want to cry with me about being poor?"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tai's expression became indescribably painful.With a heartbroken expression on Li Tai's face, he asked Li Shimin, "Father, are you sure I'm your own, didn't you pick me up?"

Hearing Li Tai's words, even the grandson Wugou beside him was amused.Then he gave Li Tai a white look and said: "Qingque, don't talk nonsense, you were born by your mother, how could you pick it up?"

"But look at my father, there is someone who bullies his son like this. And he is a six-year-old child." Li Tai's current expression can definitely be described as heartbroken.

Seeing Li Tai's sad expression, Li Shimin said with a smile: "You are not an ordinary child, but you have become a fine child. Besides, will the father take advantage of you? I allow you to recruit craftsmen yourself , You can forge weapons and equipment privately. The weapons and equipment you create will be the first to equip the Wei King’s Forbidden Army. See if this is possible.”

"That would cost a lot of money, and Qing Que earned it through hard work." Li Tai's expression still did not reveal the slightest bit of joy.On the contrary, it was even uglier than before.I guess I'm about to cry.

"You little money fanatic, how can you only have money in your eyes. Helping your father solve problems, isn't it what you, as a son, should do?" Changsun Wugou pulled Li Tai and said.

"Qing Que knows, Qing Que will make arrangements now. Who will let the emperor only have me, Li Tai, as a son!" After Li Tai finished speaking, he left.When he left, he kept muttering, "I'm definitely not his own, otherwise he wouldn't bully me like this."

Seeing Li Tai leave, Li Shimin finally couldn't help laughing.Said to the eldest grandson Wugou beside him: "Look at that kid, he looks like a resentful woman. I've never seen him with such an expression before."

"Erlang, don't you think this will double Qingque's power? It's not fair to Chengqian." Changsun Wugou said, calling Li Shimin by his nickname.

"I know what Guanyin Maid is worried about, but you can rest assured. Li Tai only cares about money now, and he doesn't seem to care much about the others. So from the current point of view, Li Tai should have no idea about the crown prince. Otherwise, He didn't have such an expression just now." Li Shimin also called Changsun Wugou by his nickname.

"Then what if one day his brothers want him to be the crown prince." Changsun Wugou looked Li Shimin in the eyes and said to Li Shimin.

This is how Li Shimin himself launched the Xuanwumen Incident.Because only when you become the emperor, can you make a promise of peace of mind to those brothers who have fought against you in the battlefield.Otherwise they will be marginalized and mistrusted by those in power.Because they bear his mark of Li Shimin's opposition on their bodies.And today's Li Tai will be like Li Shimin at that time.

"Yeah, don't you think I was the same at the beginning? It seems that what should happen will still happen. But I will do my best to balance the relationship between them. As for who can finally win this war .Then leave it to fate.” Li Shimin said to his eldest grandson Wugou.But it can be heard that Li Shimin is actually very helpless.

After leaving Tai Chi Palace, the pained expression on Li Tai's face disappeared.Instead, there is joy and joy.After all, Li Tai took advantage of it today.Although this will also increase Li Tai's expenses a lot.

But compared to being able to forge weapons and equipment privately, that's nothing.In the Tang Dynasty, there were clear judicial regulations that armor, crossbows, spears, and equipment were prohibited.Private individuals can hold it at will.If you hide five crossbows or three pieces of armor, you will be sentenced to hang.If it is privately manufactured instead of possessed, the crime will be added.

But now that Li Tai has the right to manufacture weapons and equipment, how can Li Tai not be happy.But if Li Tai was in front of Li Shimin, he showed a happy expression.That would definitely make Li Shimin dissatisfied with himself.You may even think you have ulterior motives.

Now Li Tai also lives in the palace, after all, his Wei Palace has not been completed yet.But Li Tai prefers to live in the original Tiance Mansion.After all, it is not as restrained as in the palace.However, Li Tai would go to the palace every day to pay his respects to Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou.

When Li Tai came to the temporary camp of King Wei's imperial army, he saw a large wooden box placed in his temporary office.Before Li Tai could ask, Cheng Tieniu said happily to Li Tai: "Li Tai, this is the ransom from Pei Ji."

"What did I tell you? In the military camp and on formal occasions, you have to be called King Wei. Now you're yelling, what a shame." Luo Tong blamed Cheng Tieniu.

"Sixth brother, it doesn't have to be like this. Third brother was also happy for a while. In the future, when there is no one else, we should still be brothers." Li Tai said to Luo Tong with a smile.

"Wei Wang, we have followed your instructions. When Pei Ji sent the silver, let him take away the guards from the prime minister's residence." Xu Liang came to Li Tai and said.

Although Li Tai said that when there is no one, we are brothers.But Luo Tong and others will not really do that, after all there are differences between monarchs and ministers.So we still call Li Tai King of Wei.

"That's good, let's send 33 taels of silver to 1000 Chongtian later. The rest will be kept by my second brother for our army's military expenses." Li Tai said to Xu Liang.

This startled Xu Liang, it was a full 2000 taels of silver.Let yourself keep it, how much trust you have in yourself.But at the same time the responsibility is the same.

"King Wei, where do you want me to keep so much money?" Xu Liang said to Li Tai with a troubled expression on his face.

"You can specially arrange some soldiers to serve as guards. Don't you want to carry this money with you all day long?" Li Tai said helplessly.At the same time, Li Tai also felt that he should find a way to make money easier to carry.And the best way is to open a bank.

But this bank is not, it can be opened if it is opened.That takes a lot of preparation.After all, every new thing needs a process of being accepted.So it takes time to set up a bank.

At this time, someone came to report that Zou Fengchi from 33 Chongtian had come.And it also carried an iron cage covered with cloth.I want to enter the barracks to meet Li Tai.
