But having said that, although things like crossbows need to be purchased from the court, Dai Guo can finally make things like arrows on his own.
To put it bluntly, this thing is just a wooden stick with an arrowhead attached, and a few feathers glued to the tail.
I can't say that I still need to go to the court to beg my grandpa and grandma.
After all, to put it bluntly, this thing is basically a consumable, and the processing is not too difficult. Liu Deng decided to go to the weapons inspection first to take a look.
"Your Majesty, would you like to inform the Lieutenant?"
According to the rules left by Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the princes and kings. He was ennobled by the imperial court, held gold seals and green ribbons, had a Taifu to assist the king, a citizen of the internal history, a lieutenant in charge of military affairs, a prime minister in charge of all officials, and all ministers and officials were as high as in the Han Dynasty.
Because Daiguo was a small country, the people were poor, and the weapons were blessed by God, he was too incompetent, so he always stayed within the scope of the lieutenant's authority.
Today Liu Deng is going to inspect in person. If he doesn't bring the lieutenant of Dai Guo with him, I'm afraid he will have other ideas by then.
After all, what Liu Deng has done recently has made the central defender very uncomfortable. First, he directly dispatched 5,000 troops to defend the Salt Lake without telling him what he was going to do.
Then came another Li Guang, who was promoted faster than this plane. A mere Hanzhonglang actually took charge of an army by himself.
And just now, Liu Deng did not go through the lieutenant, but directly gave Li Guang the right to select personnel from various armies. If he were to go directly to the Arms Street for inspection now, it would be inevitable that the Lord would not wonder whether he had been excluded from the core circle of power.
"Send someone to inform him. Then let him come directly. Don't tell him that we are going to the weapons inspection. If anyone dares to leak the news to me, be careful of your own dog legs!"
Even Li Guang said that Dai's weapons supervisors were not good enough. Liu Deng really wanted to see how primitive they could be.
While Liu Deng was waiting, Dai Guo's lieutenant Wu Guoxiang, Lord Wu, was distressed. A series of recent events made him feel like he was about to be abandoned.
Especially after Li Guang arrived, he felt that his position was threatened, but if he wanted to confront the king at this time, he felt really unsure.
After all, even Liu Xian, the crown prince of the Wu Kingdom, who collaborated with businessmen from six countries to cause trouble in the territory of Dai Kingdom, was eventually screwed by Liu Deng.
Although the Wu family is considered a prominent family in Dai Kingdom, the more he behaves like this, the more careful he becomes. If he really offends King Dai, for the Wu family, it will really be a disaster right in front of him.
"Lord Lieutenant, your Majesty has invited you, please come with me immediately!"
Just when he sighed and didn't know what to do, a guard suddenly rushed in.
"The king invites you? This little brother, I wonder what the king wants from me?"
While speaking, Wu Guoxiang calmly stuffed a piece of silver into the guard's sleeve, and then asked carefully.
"Lieutenant, please don't embarrass me. If I accept your money, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my legs..."
The king had given an explicit order before coming here. If the king found out that he had received this ingot of silver, his life would be over.
The ingot of silver that Wu Guoxiang gave away was a full 10 taels. If converted into copper coins, it would be 10 taels, which would be enough for him to pay for three to five months.
But now, he doesn't dare to accept it no matter what!
At first, Wu Guoxiang thought this guy was being pretentious, but after seeing him refuse several times, he realized that he really didn't dare to accept it. Did the king have a clear order in advance?
The more he dared not accept the money, the more Wu Guoxiang felt that Liu Deng was trying to deal with him, and the more afraid he became.
"Master Wu, what are you doing?"
In desperation, Wu Guoxiang could only follow him out, but before he reached the door, his legs began to tremble, and his whole body was like sieving chaff. The soldiers watching on the side really couldn't stand it. .
"The king asked me to go at this time, didn't he want to deal with me?"
As long as he is an official, how can his hands and feet be so clean? Even he, the lieutenant, is no exception. Although there is no corruption or bending of the law, he really can't escape this nepotism problem...
"Sir, the king just wants you to come over and say a few words. You don't have to be so nervous..."
Seeing his appearance, the soldier really had no choice but to look around and make sure that no one was watching them nearby, then he said quietly.
"You told me earlier, you scared me to death..."
Hearing what he said, Wu Guoxiang breathed a long sigh of relief. This tnd man is so scary that he will scare people to death.
After letting out a long breath, Wu Guoxiang got on his horse and followed the soldiers, running wildly towards the west of the city.
To the west of Jinyang City is the garrison camp in Jinyang City. Compared with other places, it is much safer here. The weapons inspection is set up here, so no one dares to come here to spy.
But it turns out that I really thought too much about this matter, and these houses now have false names.
Liu Deng didn't know clearly, but Wu Guoxiang knew clearly that the entire weapons inspection department only produced less than 100,000 arrows last year!
If this were placed in the central court, it would be unimaginable. In the entire Dai Kingdom, if all the capitals were taken together, there would be 70,000 to 80,000 people. The weapons supervisor had been busy for a year, and he actually He can't even lift an arrow with his hands, so what use is he in a place like this?
"My lord, Wu Guoxiang is here to see the king!"
Although Mr. Wu breathed a sigh of relief, he still felt his heart pounding a little when he saw Liu Deng.
"Master Wu, don't be nervous. I just had a whim today and wanted to go to the weapons room to have a look, so I specially invited Master Wu to accompany me. Is it convenient for Master Wu now?"
Wu Guoxiang was already worried, but now that he heard what Liu Deng said, he suddenly froze. After the expression on his face was dull for a moment, sweat immediately began to form on his forehead.
The dozen or so officials from top to bottom of the Ordnance Supervision are now his own, and the entire Ordnance Supervision has basically been emptied out by his people.
Wu Guoxiang himself also knows what those guys are like in normal times. I'm afraid they are still hungover at this time, right?
"Your Majesty, what's there to see in this weapons inspection? Our country's weapons inspection has been abandoned for many years..."
When Liu Deng mentioned the words "Ordnance Supervisor", Wu Guoxiang's eyebrows jumped unconsciously.
