Chapter 1097 Changping County Lord 45
One penny and one penny, isn't it equal to giving away for nothing.

Butler Xiao showed distressed expression: "Li and Shu happened to be worried about not having enough arrows, and they borrowed from each other on weekdays. One penny for one arrow, such good deeds will naturally benefit the common people. Just one penny, blacksmiths don't have enough capital."

Xiao Zhan next to him also replied: "That's true. A good bow usually costs five hundred coins, and the worst bow costs one hundred coins. An arrow costs twenty to fifty coins a piece. Even the arrows cost at least ten coins. .”

Xining immediately asked, "How much does it cost to set up a blacksmith's shop and supply the whole city with ten arrows per person?"

Uh... the county lord is really rich and self-willed, the blacksmith thinks the money is low, so he simply set up a blacksmith's shop.

Housekeeper Xiao quickly reported the numbers: "Generally, the monthly silver for a teacher is ten taels, the monthly silver for a junior master is three to five taels, and the apprenticeship is about one tael. A shop has at least one senior master and a small master. They are all father-son shops. There are also various expenses such as firewood, three or five taels of silver is enough. If you are willing to waive the rent for one month, for the sake of the county owner being the owner, 20 taels is enough."

Xi Ning nodded: "Then I will give you 20 taels to make arrowheads. Only people in Linyi County can buy them, one penny each, and the supply is only for one month. Arrowheads are not allowed to be taken out of the city, and you can buy them back for a penny after they are used up. Re-melt it into iron ingots and store it. Then go to the county magistrate Zhou and hand over 100 taels of silver, and tell the officers and soldiers at the gate to watch carefully, and anyone who dares to take out the arrow without permission will be punished as an adulterer with the Xiongnu!"

Housekeeper Xiao saluted: "The county magistrate is thoughtful and thoughtful, and I am really convinced. It's just..."

Xining smiled: "Let's talk, don't give a candy before taking the medicine."

Housekeeper Xiao also smiled: "Then let me just say it directly. This time, a total of more than 1000 catties of iron ingots were transported. When all the people in Linyi County add up, there are only a thousand people at most. One arrow and half two irons, 1000 yuan Ten arrows per person, [-] arrows, only need five or six hundred catties of iron. The remaining iron will rust easily after being stored for a long time, and special personnel are needed to take care of it. Oil it and watch it every day.”

"That's it~" Xining turned to ask: "Hey, outside, what kind of swords and guns are not privately manufactured weapons after they are made? If you can tell, I will give you five taels of silver."

The person outside said joyfully, "Let me think about it."

Steward Xiao smiled wryly, the county lord spends a lot of money, if he doesn't do business, how can he afford such a waste of money.

One month later, in Xuanzheng Hall, Liu Biao saw the King of Han kneel down and salute.He raised his head and said: "Your minister has played a role in impeaching Changping County's leader for forming a party for private gain, raising dead soldiers, and making weapons privately. He is suspected of rebellion."

The King of Han sat there, watching like this, and after a while: "Uncle Huang seems to have no friendship with Changping, why did he think of impeaching her today?"

Liu Biao's old face was tense and his whole body was upright. He bowed and saluted: "Although I have no past with Changping county magistrate, I have to speak up after hearing about this matter. It is the duty of a minister to give advice, not to mention such a serious crime, His Majesty has to Find out."

The King of Han just sat there like this, and after a while, he burst out laughing: "Is the Emperor Uncle having a grudge with someone recently?"

Liu Biao didn't know what the King of Han was laughing at, but he was still upright: "The minister has always been fearless of the powerful and powerful, and speaks out of righteousness. I don't know who I have a grudge against, and I am not afraid of who I have a grudge against. But why does your majesty say that?"

The king of Han picked up the bamboo slips on the table and said with a smile: "Gu knows about this matter. This is a letter from Changping to Gu. It said that there are many dead men, spies, and spy workers in the mansion. She is surrounded by everything from sweeping servants to personal maids." , all of them possess unique skills and hide them secretly."

Liu Biao was startled, and his eyes widened: "She confessed?"

"A confession?" The King of Han smiled again, and picked up the bamboo slips: "Look for yourself."

The waiter took it with both hands, and handed it to Liu Biao who was kneeling in front of him.

After Liu Biao took it, he saw that it was indeed written like this. The following words read: "I don't know, and I don't know who sent them. I know it myself. It's because the uncles and princes are sympathetic to the young and helpless, so Sending so many people to protect them secretly. In order to avoid suspicion, the courtiers don’t ask, but thank you all uncles for taking care of the courtiers. The courtiers can’t repay the courtiers. They can only ask the ancestors to bless them when they burn incense and worship the ancestors during the festivals. The family is safe and well."

Uh, it turned out that these spies of dead soldiers were not from Changping county lord, but sent to monitor her!No wonder the King of Han laughed just now, and he held it back for a long time before he couldn't help it. There must be someone he sent inside.

Also, everyone in the entire mansion basically knew about this matter. The Changping County Lord, the King of Han knew about it, everyone knew about it, but he didn't know about it.

As a result, he found out, and came to impeach Changping County Lord...

No, hold on!

Liu Biao then said: "I never feed the dead, so I only know one thing and not the other. I beg your Majesty to punish you. But what happened to Changping county master who made weapons privately?"

The King of Han explained: "Linyi County is going to hold an archery competition. Changping wanted to have fun with the people and get more people to participate, so he bought some iron and asked craftsmen to make it. Anyone who is registered in Changling County can buy ten Arrows cost one penny. All arrows are not allowed to be taken out of the county, and after the competition is over, they can be taken back for a penny and recast into iron ingots."

Liu Biao immediately grasped the key point: "But I learned that not only arrows are cast, but other weapons are also cast. A large number of casts are knives!"

Knives are weapons, and they are not allowed to be produced in large quantities. This is a serious crime.

"Forging knives..." The King of Han seemed not in a hurry, and turned to the waiter next to him and said, "It seems that Changping County Lord also brought a knife, so you can show it to Liu Yushi."

The waiter bowed and lowered his head: "Yes, Your Majesty." After stepping back, he went to get it.

What?Even the knives were brought.

Liu Biao was a little unconfident. It seemed that Changping county lord had told King Han everything. If King Han didn't agree, how could she continue?

It seems that the things he heard the two officials talking about when he passed by were all taken out of context, and it was probably really a trick for him.Otherwise, the king of Han would not ask whether he has had any grudges with anyone recently.

After a while, the waiter held a lacquer plate and put a knife on the plate, and put them in front of Liu Biao respectfully.

There was indeed a knife on the plate... Liu Biao stared at the knife: "This is...?"

The waiter tried his best to hold back a smile, but couldn't help the corners of his mouth curling up.However, he is usually a smiling tiger, with a professional and habitual smile on his face all the time, a shallow smile, a superficial smile.

He replied: "Liu Yushi, this is a kitchen knife."

kitchen knife?Liu Biao picked up the kitchen knife and said, "It's so small, what can it do?"

The total length of the kitchen knife is only about the size of a palm, and the handle is the same as other kitchen knives, very thin, and can be used with a wooden handle.But this kitchen knife is too small, it can't cut a small honeydew melon, but it can cut grapes and small pastries.

But do grapes and pastries need to be cut?
