Dreaming Back to Chang'an City 139 Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War

"Duke Lu, Your Majesty asks you to go in! Humph!"

When Li Yuanji went out, he glanced at Hou Junji and said, "Bah, what's the matter!"

Because he was inside just now, he learned that Hou Junji is here to file a lawsuit today.

At that time, the new school museum was established, and the old man Yu Shinan jumped out to oppose it. Hou Junji, who was the one who supported him.

Then, due to the construction of the Xinxue Pavilion, Duan Lun from the Ministry of Works transferred many craftsmen to repay Tang Ping's favor and postponed the renovation of the Ministry of War.

After Hou Junji came here today to talk about the main business, he began to complain.

After all, in his opinion, a new school was actually in front of their Ministry of War. Does their Ministry of War want to be face-saving?

How could the Ministry of Works transfer all the craftsmen to build a new school? The houses in the Ministry of War have begun to leak!

But when King Zhao entered just now, he was fine, but why did he feel so bad about himself when he came out?

Hou Junji shook his head and no longer thought about it. Anyway, King Zhao was just a idle prince, and he was the Minister of War!

Even if he has any dissatisfaction with him, it will not have much impact.

Walking into Xiande Hall, Hou Junji saw the knife that King Zhao Li Yuanji had just taken in on Li Shimin's table.

It is a bit inappropriate to say that it is a knife. It is just a steel piece with no handle and it seems that the blade is not opened.

But he didn't care about his own affairs, so he quickly asked His Majesty to tell the Ministry of Works, transfer the person to himself, and repair the Ministry of War's yamen.

"His Majesty……"

As soon as Hou Junji spoke, he was interrupted by Li Shimin.

"I understand, it's just repairing the Ministry of War! Junji, how much does it cost to repair this Ministry of War?"

"Your Majesty, it costs only fifty or sixty cents, and our Ministry of War has this money, so the court does not need to pay it!"

"Fifty or sixty cents..." Li Shimin pondered for a while, and then did not say whether it was good or bad, but gave Hou Junji the semi-finished product that Li Yuanji had just brought: "Look, how about this knife?"

Hou Junji took the knife, silently took three steps back before he looked at it seriously.

Although I don’t know why King Zhao Li Yuanji brought such a knife in just now, now His Majesty asked him to see it, which means something must have happened that he didn’t know.

The blade has not been opened, and I don’t know the sharpness, but by turning it hard and loosening it, you can know that the steel is very flexible.

If you weigh the weight, it is quite heavy, which means the texture is good.

I looked in front of me and saw that the fine lines were almost invisible.

He also had a metal ring on his hand, which was scratched through the surface of the knife, and there was only a shallow mark that was basically invisible. It disappeared with one touch with his hand, indicating that the steel is extremely hard.

After making two chopping actions, Hou Junji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's so steel. If you polish it well, it will be a powerful tool!"

I have to say that although Hou Junji is arrogant, he is still meticulous. The performance of a knife can be seen through the few small tests just now.

"I want to use such a knife to equip a vanguard army of ten thousand people to rush forward. What do you think?"

"This..." Hou Junji hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, there are no traces of forging on this steel, but it is not easy to forge. Not to mention how much it costs, just the steel bars of these ten thousand knives,

When will it be done forging?"

"Hahaha, don't worry about this. They have the goods now! Ten thousand are waiting for us to give the money!"

"There are goods now?" Hou Junji was shocked. You must know that such a large-scale weapon construction must be included in the control. It is unlikely that it will flow from abroad. No country will allow such a large number of weapons.

The material of high-quality saber is outflowed.

This thing was originally under the jurisdiction of their Ministry of War, which means that someone has created such ten thousand saber steel under his nose?

This is impossible. You should know that such steel will inevitably take time and effort. If you build ten thousand pieces of steel, you cannot do it if it is small or large, but if you don’t find it, you will be dereliction of duty.

For a moment, Hou Junji didn't know what to say.

Li Shimin didn't notice his little thoughts. He is now becoming more and more satisfied with Tang Ping. This nephew sent by God is really a lucky star.

Your own lucky star is also the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty!

"How is it? Junji, how much is your Ministry of War willing to spend to buy these ten thousand knives?"

Hou Junji secretly looked at Li Shimin and found that he was not angry, and he was really very happy. It seemed that he would not blame himself for the sudden appearance of such a batch of knife-making steel under his control.

"The Ministry of Revenue has just approved 200,000 truces for the Ministry of War. As the army of the Tang Dynasty this year, I can get half of the equipment. If there are more, I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to approve it again!"

As the Minister of War, he was still in the clear situation of his own Ministry of War, so he answered Li Shimin's question with his mouth.

Of course, he also knew that 100,000 trump cards was probably not enough, so he left a tail in his words. Anyway, our Ministry of War only has so much money. If His Majesty really wants to buy it, you have to help us ask for money.

Now the Tang Dynasty is short of money everywhere, and Li Shimin himself is short of it, so how can I hear the meaning of Hou Junji's words?

If the materials for this batch of steel knives were sold by someone else, he would probably have a headache, but who told me that this was given to him by his good nephew?

Yes, it's just a gift!

Forty taels of gold, ten thousand handfuls, what is it to give?

"Junji, if I use the money from the inner treasury to buy this batch of knives and give it to the Ministry of War, can the Ministry of War suspend a few people and wait for the new school to repair it first?"

"Your Majesty!" Hou Junji was shocked. When did the emperor's inner treasury become so rich?

You should know that this is the king's land in the world, but the emperor's money is actually separate from the national finances.

Their main income still comes from the royal village and some other industries.

Even the Ministry of War can’t afford such a large sum of money, but can His Majesty’s inner treasury be able to take it out?

Of course, Hou Junji will not miss this kind of advantage, and he will not take advantage of it.

He said directly and firmly: "If Your Majesty uses the money from the inner treasury to give it to the Ministry of War, let alone the renovation of the Ministry of War, it will be fine if you ask me to take the Ministry of War to help build the new academic hall!"

Just kidding, how much is the total salary of officials from the Ministry of War’s yamen?

As long as you can save this money, the 200,000 guan can still be used in the original plan, and you can still have the oil and water you should have!

But I never thought that as soon as I finished speaking, Li Shimin said, "You have no jokes. This batch of materials was sold by Tang Ping, a Wannian County. Since Junji is interested, I will go to the new school with me tomorrow to help you!
Chapter completed!
