Chapter 824 The treasury is not goat milk, how can it be squeezed out?(1/2)

But what the boss never expected was.

The old man who used to be full of endless confidence in the Ming soldiers.

At this moment, after hearing his frank words, his face was filled with sorrow.

Almost instantly, the boss felt a big deal!

It was indeed not beyond his expectations!

Zhu Di said with a sad face: "My Ming soldiers are strong, but once they fight against foreign enemies, they will suffer heavy losses!"

After a pause, he finally turned his head to look at the boss, who had been on the test field.

"As the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future emperor, do you want to see the scene of white cloth hanging in front of the doors of the people?"

Hearing this, the boss Zhu Gaochi's face was full of strange expressions.

It's easy not to see such a scene!

Isn’t it enough as long as the old man gave up the Northern Expedition?

But he also knows.

If I really dared to say this, the old man would definitely kick him in public.

And the generals behind him will also be dissatisfied with him!

But if not!

How should we refuse these dozens or even millions of taels of silver?

He glanced at the cannon that had not been fired on the test site, and he immediately had an idea.

"Dad, of course my son doesn't want to see such a scene, but my Ming Dynasty's treasury is barren and artillery is expensive, so I can't afford it!"

He also has a little understanding of the price of artillery!

The cost of just one cannon is nearly 5,000 taels of silver!

Once you change your clothes, even to the smallest point, there will be hundreds of cannons!

This is a total of 500,000 taels of silver!

Not to mention looking at the old man who was about to drill into the cannon barrel!

One hundred doors are definitely not enough!

Faced with the boss's defense, Zhu Di shook his head slowly.

"Boss, the treasury is poor, but my dad thinks there will always be a squeeze!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the boss Zhu Gaochi almost laughed.

The national treasury is not sheep's milk, how can it be squeezed out?

But just as he was about to look for a reason with a difficult face, Zhu Di spoke again.

"Once the army starts war, there will definitely be many soldiers who are killed or injured."

He pointed to the artillery on the test site.

"But if there are powerful artillery, it will be different, and the soldiers will sacrifice less!"

Upon hearing this, the boss Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly.

Immediately said, "Dad, but..."

But before he could finish his sentence, Zhu Di interrupted him.

"Dad knows what you are worried about, but think about it, if the soldiers sacrifice less, the pressure on the court's pension will also decrease!"

Before he finished speaking, he looked at the boss seriously again.

"The most important thing is that the troubles the people will suffer will also be reduced! Do you think this deal is worth it?"

The old man's series of words made the boss Zhu Gaochi smile bitterly.

How could he not understand these principles?

But the court really couldn't afford the money!

Unfortunately, this time I won’t wait for the boss to say anything.

Zhu Di said directly: "Dad, no matter what method you use, in short, my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty cannot have powerful artillery, but they cannot use it!"

Then he even rushed to Zheng Xing who was on standby there and said, "Order the test of the cannon!"

"I obey the order!"

Zheng Xing, who had been nervous and uneasy, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and ran to the test site.

After all, the behavior of the Zhu family just now really scared him!

It is obviously a noble man, why does the whole family seem to have problems?

Fortunately, he can finally leave now!

Not long after, with a violent sound on the test site, everyone looked at the smoke-torn target in the distance.

Many generals on the observation stage did not receive information as early as Zhu Di.

They didn't know how powerful this new cannon was!

However, at this moment, I heard the sound of artillery that was several times loud in the past, and I also knew in my heart that the power must be great.

So they all stood on tiptoe and watched from a distance!

About half a quarter of an hour later.

As the smoke gradually dissipates, the goal also shows its true appearance.

In the distance, many huge stones rolled down at this time.

This made countless generals stunned for a moment.

Because if it is shooting on the city wall, it may only take a dozen cannons to collapse it!

The boss is the one who has been bombarded by cannons!

After seeing the power, I couldn't help but be surprised.

But soon he frowned!

Because the stronger the power of the cannon, the stronger the old man's idea of ​​installing it.

But what surprised him was.

When the power of the cannon was revealed, the old man didn't say anything more.

But he couldn't relax at all!

Because the dozens of military generals behind him looked at him with fiery eyes.

He quickly surrounded him tightly without leaving any gap!

"Crown Prince, do you have to have a lot of snacks for artillery?"

"Yes, Prince, the life and death of the soldiers are in your hands!"

"Crown Prince..."

The boss, surrounded by countless generals in the army, was in tears in these prayers!

"Why are you looking for me? I'm just a prince!"

If he had the wealth of the fourth brother, he might not be able to speak up, and he would take the initiative to mention the installation of new artillery.

But the problem is!

The whole Zhu family is the poorest!

Thinking of this, the boss couldn't help but look at Zhu Gaoshuo.

I wish I could become the other person in this moment!

But after seeing this, he almost dazzled himself.

Because he was very sure that his fourth brother nodded at him just now!

And the meaning of being able to nod at him at this moment is more obvious!

He immediately shouted excitedly at the many generals surrounding him.

"Everyone, don't worry!"

As soon as these words came out, the many generals present were stunned.

But when he saw him pushing everyone away and walking towards Zhu Gaoshuo.

Everyone's faces suddenly showed ecstasy.

Who else can pay such a big sum of money nowadays?

Perhaps only His Highness Yan King!
