Chapter 39: The Prince's Order
After everyone finished grabbing the rice dumplings, they all went back, while Yu Hao was called to the imperial study room by Zhu Song.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Song had a serious face.
"Kneel down!"
Yu Hao didn't know why, so he hesitated and knelt down in front of Zhu Song, wondering what he had done wrong?
"You're so brave, you dare to hit the Prime Minister Chang Shi?"
Hearing Zhu Song mention Changsun Lang, Yu Hao was relieved: "Your Majesty, that Changsun Lang dared to be so rampant in Wudu City, bullying men and dominating women in the street, he simply didn't take the emperor seriously, I'm here to teach your majesty a lesson
he."
Yu Hao didn't care at all about the beating of Chang Sun Lang. Since he and Chang Sun Xiao already had deep grudges, Yu Hao didn't mind making Chang Sun Xiao hate him even more.
Changsunxiao might make even the emperor fear him, but barefoot people are not afraid of people wearing shoes, and Yu Hao is not afraid of him at all.
Moreover, Yu Hao didn't believe that Zhu Song would really blame him for Changsun Lang. He knew very well that Zhu Song hated the Changsun family as much as he did.
Zhu Song snorted coldly and said: "Teach him a lesson? Now Prime Minister Sun Xiao forces me to kill you. What do you think I should do?"
"Your Majesty, after all, I am also your son-in-law, so you shouldn't be biased towards outsiders! If you kill me, Jianyang will be left alone." Yu Hao quickly showed a frightened look.
After a man and a woman get engaged in Daqian, if the man dies before they get married, the woman will also be left a widow. This is called a widower.
A widow who watches over her family is seen as a slave to her husband, and no one wants her.
Even if Jianyang was a princess and could marry again, she would probably receive a lot of criticism.
Zhu Song had originally thought of a bunch of words to teach Yu Hao, but when he heard the word "son-in-law", he couldn't say the words.
"Get up! For the sake of the princess, I will let you go this time, but you have to remember that any beauty in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. You have been too high-profile recently, and many people are already jealous of you.
If you are dissatisfied, you have to deal with it yourself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me."
Yu Hao was secretly frightened. Zhu Song was beating himself up, so he should restrain himself!
"I called you here this time because I have something to talk to you about. Emperor brother, come out!"
As soon as Zhu Song finished speaking, Zhenhai King Zhu Zhen walked out from behind the screen.
"Greetings to King Zhenhai!" Yu Hao quickly handed over.
Zhu Zhen smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "The Prince Consort is exempt from courtesy. Since Your Majesty is here, I will not be merciful. This time I am in Beijing. In addition to being invited by Your Majesty to celebrate the festival, I also want to order a batch from the Prince Consort."
Divine Arm Crossbow."
The emperor's order for divine arm crossbows has been mostly completed, and these divine arm crossbows have all been equipped to the imperial guards in Wudu City.
The Royal Forest Army was able to clear out the bandits fifty miles around Wudu City within half a month, and the divine arm crossbow was indispensable.
When Zhu Zhen entered the city, he happened to see the divine arm crossbow carried by the imperial guards.
He was a prince on horseback, so he was naturally very curious about the divine arm crossbow. The first thing he did after entering the palace was to ask the emperor what kind of weapon the divine arm crossbow was.
Zhu Song did not hide anything. Not only did he give Zhu Zhen the battle report of the Royal Forest Army's suppression of bandits, he also generously gave Zhu Zhen a divine arm crossbow.
Looking at the comments about the Divine Arm Crossbow in the battle report, Zhu Zhen immediately fell in love with the Divine Arm Crossbow.
Although the coastal areas of Daqian have not encountered invasion by other countries in decades, there are many pirates doing evil on the sea.
During the years when Zhu Zhen became King of Zhenhai, he always advocated the eradication of pirates.
But these pirates have lived by the sea since childhood, are familiar with water, and are even stronger than Daqian's navy in naval battles.
In addition, pirates' boats are more flexible than warships, and those pirates will run away if they can't hit them. Dagan's bows and arrows have a short range, so pirates can easily escape the attack range of Dagan's navy.
On the vast sea, Zhu Zhen could only watch the pirates escape without any trouble at all.
The God's Arm Crossbow is powerful and has a long range. If the navy can equip the God's Arm Crossbow, it will be much easier to deal with pirates.
King Zhenhai wants to order the Divine Arm Crossbow, which is naturally a good thing for Hao, but half of the emperor's order has not yet been completed.
Yu Hao immediately looked at Zhu Song, wanting to hear Zhu Song's arrangements.
Zhu Song obviously saw what Yu Hao was thinking and said: "My one hundred thousand Imperial Forest Army has been equipped with 30,000 divine arm crossbows, which is enough. You can help King Zhenhai make them first, and we will talk about the remaining 30,000 later." ."
"Since His Majesty said so, I naturally have no objection. King Zhenhai, the Divine Arm Crossbow costs 300 Wen per piece. I wonder how much you want?"
Yu Hao used the structure of Luban lock when making the divine arm crossbow. It is very difficult for others to imitate it.
The emperor and King Zhenhai could have asked Yu Hao to hand over the production method, but they did not do so and still bought it from Yu Hao to obtain the divine arm crossbow.
This was a great kindness to Hao. Yu Hao really wanted to make divine arm crossbows for them for free, but the textile factory had just started and had to support so many people. The money in Yu Hao's pocket really did not allow Yu Hao to do this.
Three hundred cents is the cost price of a divine arm crossbow. Yu Hao plans to make no profit at all and just recover the cost.
"Three hundred coins? Why did you sell me 500 coins before?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Song suddenly opened his eyes, blowing his beard and staring in anger.
Seeing Zhu Song's angry look, Zhu Zhen also laughed. He didn't have much money, so the lower the price of the divine arm crossbow, the better it would be for him.
"Your Majesty, you used the money of those corrupt officials to buy the Divine Arm Crossbow. The prince used his own money. How can this be the same? Three hundred coins is the cost price of a Divine Arm Crossbow. When I sold it to you, I The factory has just started and needs money, so I have to make some money!" Yu Hao said with a smile.
"snort!"
Zhu Song snorted coldly, but then he thought about it, the money was from the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, not his own money, and he didn't feel bad about it.
What's more, Yu Hao is his son-in-law. If Yu Hao makes money, doesn't it mean that his daughter has made money?
Calculating it this way, I won’t lose at all.
King Zhenhai thought for a while and said with a smile: "Consort, your majesty has told me that you are helping the military family, which really makes me admire you. Let's do this. I will pay 400 yuan for each divine arm crossbow, so I will need 20,000 in total. God Arm Crossbow, this way I can save some money, and you can also make some money, what do you think?"
"Then according to what the prince said, 20,000 pieces can be delivered within fifteen days." Since Zhu Zhen said so, Yu Hao did not refuse and immediately set a delivery date.
With the current manpower and production speed of the Logistics Department, it is simply a piece of cake to produce 20,000 Divine Arm Crossbows within fifteen days.
King Zhenhai was overjoyed and quickly took out eight thousand taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them to Yu Hao: "Then I will stay in Wudu City for a while longer, and wait until my consort has finished making 20,000 divine arm crossbows." And bring it back to Minzhou."
After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Yu Hao looked at the silver in his hand and felt inexplicably happy.
If the emperor even introduces business to me, then I don't have to worry about anything anymore and can go ahead and do it boldly.
This batch of divine arm crossbows allowed Yu Hao to make a small profit of two thousand taels of silver. Although the textile factory's daily profit was more than two thousand taels, Yu Hao was still very happy to be able to help Daqian's army.
"Yu Hao!"
At this moment, the third prince Zhu An emerged from behind the nearby tree like a ghost, startling Yu Hao.
