Chapter 226
"What did you say?"
Wu Zetian said in surprise: "Weapon?"
"Yes, a weapon that can change the mode of war!"
Pei Shaoqing said: "If these weapons are made, it will be a piece of cake to solve Silla, Turks and even Tubo, and it will be almost effortless!"
"are you serious?"
Wu Zetian's expression became serious.
"Of course." Pei Shaoqing said, "absolutely serious."
Princess Taiping kept listening and interrupted and asked, "Husband, what kind of weapon is this?"
"Cannon!" Pei Shaoqing said, "a long-range attack weapon that can shoot projectiles weighing more than ten or even dozens of kilograms to a distance to kill the enemy!"
"That's it?"
Princess Taiping said, "Isn't this the Thunderbolt Car?"
"It's different." Pei Shaoqing said, "The distance of the thunder chariot is only a few hundred steps, but the cannon I invented can drive the projectiles dozens of miles away."
"Double miles away? Is it true or false?"
Princess Taiping said in a daze: "Are you a lie?"
Wu Zetian also showed an incredible look on his face.
Pei Shaoqing said: "It's not that far at this stage, but it's okay to hit two or three thousand steps away."
"Two or three thousand steps?" Wu Zetian said sternly, "Shaoqing, can the cannon you mentioned really hit so far?"
"Yes, it can really hit so far." Pei Shaoqing nodded and said, "And not only hit far, the projectiles fired by this cannon can also explode and kill the enemy!"
Wu Zetian glanced at Pei Shaoqing again.
Before this, she only knew that Pei Shaoqing asked the guard and capture Lang to block Cuiwei Palace and did not allow anyone to appear, so there must be a secret inside, and it was a secret that she didn't even know, so she took advantage of this opportunity to cheat, but she didn't expect that such a shocking secret would be really cheated out.
Of course, Pei Shaoqing is willing to tell him so sincerely.
It is enough to prove that he has no intention of hiding it.
However, Wu Zetian was still a little unhappy and said, "Why did you just talk about such a big thing today?"
"I'm afraid that you will be disappointed by the Queen Mother," Pei Shaoqing said. "I originally wanted to get the cannon out before reporting it to you, but since you have asked about it today, I will report it to you in advance."
Wu Zetian said: "What do you mean is that the cannon has not been created yet?"
"No." Pei Shaoqing shook his head and said, "The main reason is that the casting process is not up to standard, and it exploded during the test shooting."
"Do you need my help?" Wu Zetian didn't care much at first, but after listening to Pei Shaoqing's introduction, he became more enthusiastic about this kind of cannon.
The reason is very simple. If you hold this kind of cannon,
Then she has full confidence in suppressing the armed rebellion that may come.
"No need for now." Pei Shaoqing shook his head and said, "and, this matter must be kept secret."
"Yes, keep it confidential." Wu Zetian nodded happily, "Just try it, I will support you!"
"Here!" Pei Shaoqing crossed his hands and said, "In addition, I have also talked to Mr. Liu. He is going to invest in the 2925,000 guan that exists in our guard and capture department account."
"The old guy is really willing to give up." Wu Zetian snorted lightly and asked again, "Then how many shares are you going to give him?"
Pei Shaoqing shook his head and said, "I don't know this. I have to go back and calculate carefully before I can know how many shares the two hundred,925,000 guan of Mr. Liu are worth."
"I don't care how many shares can Mr. Liu Ge get."
Wu Zetian said: "But I must get 60% of the dry stocks!"
"This is impossible!" Pei Shaoqing said dumbfoundedly, "Empress Dowager, this matter is absolutely impossible!"
"Impossible?" Wu Zetian snorted and said, "In this case, Gu Ke has to discuss with the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall about building an embassy for Xue Yantuo. Gu thinks Anlefang is good."
"Ah?" Pei Shaoqing said anxiously, "Empress Dowager, you can't do this."
"Shaoqing, I don't want to do this." Wu Zetian said helplessly, "But the world is impermanent, who has never made the location of Xueyantuo Embassy not sure?"
"Oh, okay."
Pei Shaoqing said helplessly: "Who made you the Queen Mother? You are the biggest."
Seeing Pei Shaoqing being defeated, Princess Taiping couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled.
"Don't feel wronged," Wu Zetian said with a snorted, "When did Gu let you suffer a loss? This time, if you take 60% of the shares in Nanshi, Gu will definitely compensate you elsewhere."
"Empress Dowager, let's not talk about compensation for it." Pei Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "It's okay to take the stock. Actually, I was going to give the royal family a share, but it's too much."
Wu Zetian was still not used to bargaining, so he asked, "Then how many dry shares can you take out?"
"At most 10%. " Pei Shaoqing calculated with his fingers, "Empress Dowager, think that Nanshi is a weapon I use to unite the nobles for you, so I have to take out at least half of the shares to share with them."
"And Mr. Liu's little three million chunks will also account for at least 10% of the dry shares."
"There is that we have such a big stall in the guards and guards, and we have so many people."
"And in the foreseeable future, there will only be more personnel in the guard and capture department, so you must retain a considerable proportion of the shares, otherwise everyone will have to drink the northwest wind."
"That's how?" Wu Zetian frowned, "then 20%!"
"Okay." Pei Shaoqing pretended to be very embarrassed, "just 20%.
Seeing Pei Shaoqing agree so happily, Wu Zetian suddenly felt a little regretful, is it going to be less?
Pei Shaoqing said again: "Empress Dowager, let's talk about compensation now?"
"It's gone." Wu Zetian said angrily, "How can I compensate me?"
"Uh, okay." Pei Shaoqing was helpless.
Princess Taiping was hilarious again.
She really likes the way Pei Shaoqing and Wu Zetian get along.
"Bao, let's go." Pei Shaoqing stepped forward and helped Princess Taiping up and said, "Do you know how much does it cost to eat our guard and catch the imperial meal today?"
"Are you blamed me?"
Princess Taiping said angrily: "I won't let you eat it."
"How can you not let you eat?" Pei Shaoqing smiled bitterly, "It's just that this meal is a bit expensive. I'll calculate it a little. Conservatively, this meal is worth at least 10 million yuan tonight."
"Ah? So expensive?" Princess Taiping was also a little surprised.
"This is still a conservative estimate." Pei Shaoqing lamented, "I'm not bragging about my husband. The Nanshi that is about to be built is definitely a hen that can lay golden eggs! It's like a game to earn tens of millions of yuan a year, but it's a hundred million yuan in tens of yuan. Isn't 10% of the stocks worth tens of millions of yuan?"
After hearing this, Wu Zetian also felt a little moved.
