Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 488 Layout, Southeast Shipyard

In the imperial study room, Zhao Duan had just finished processing today's memorial with the crown prince when he saw Cao Shuang walking over in small steps.

Dang even put down the ink pen in his hand and asked, "How is it?"

Although Zhao Duan's question was confused, Cao Shuang understood what he meant, and immediately replied: "Return to Your Majesty, all the people in Lingyun Temple have been arrested and brought to justice, and the slaves have specially arranged for a person who is very malicious to monks to go They have been interrogated, and it seems to be working well so far.”

Zhao Duan showed a little smile, then his face darkened and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, not only is he covering up the court's criminals, but he is also trying to let the monks of Lingyun Temple escape the punishment of the court by dismissing the monks of the whole temple. This Xuan'an thinks It is quite beautiful.

Since they don't want something quick and easy, let them live instead of die!
Just use their fate to shock the world! "

"Your Majesty is wise! This kind of thief should be like this."

Cao Shuang hastily agreed.

Zhao Duan then changed the subject: "How is King Zhenxi going?"

Cao Shuang replied: "My lord has led one hundred thousand Tianwu troops to surround all the deep mountains on the border of southern Hunan and northern Hunan. Now they are gradually shrinking the area to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Five Poison Sect!"

Hearing this, Zhao Duan showed a worried expression on his face and said, "I wonder if the Second Emperor Uncle will be able to go smoothly in a battle with the Five Poison Sect, a sect that is good at controlling poisonous insects in the mountains and forests?"

Cao Shuang immediately comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, before returning, King Zhenxi went to Lord Yun to learn how to make the fierce fire cabinet.

This time, all members of the Tianwu Army are carrying fierce fire cabinets. If there are thieves from the Five Poison Sect who want to send poisonous insects to deal with the army, they will definitely suffer a big loss! "

"What? That boy actually handed over the method of making a fierce fire cabinet to the Second Emperor's uncle?

Just when I asked him for it, he didn't give it to me! "

Zhao Duan asked in surprise. He didn't realize that his tone was full of jealousy.

From Zhao Duan's point of view, he is his own father after all!

He didn't even give it to himself, but gave it to the Second Emperor's Uncle. In the eyes of that brat, his biological father was not as good as the Second Emperor's Uncle, an elder from another generation?

Cao Shuang smiled and said nothing, this kind of matter between the Tian family is not something that he, an eunuch, can talk about at will.

There was no response to the words, Zhao Duan glanced at him, then sighed and waved his hands and said: "That's all, you can go to Second Emperor Uncle afterwards and ask him how to make this fierce fire cabinet."

However, Cao Shuang said: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to know how to make a fierce fire cabinet, but if the court wants to use it on a large scale, I am afraid it is not realistic."

"How do you say? Is there any problem?" Zhao Duan asked doubtfully.

This production method already exists, why can't it be used on a large scale?

Cao Shuang explained: "After I heard the news, I went to find out how to make this fierce fire cabinet. It's not difficult. Any carpenter can do it casually. But the most important thing about this fierce fire cabinet is the material it uses." Plant black fire oil.

This kind of black kerosene is the key to making the fierce fire cabinet have such power and the flame is inextinguishable.

We don't know what this kind of thing is. At present, it is an exclusive item only available to King Yun, so even if we make the fierce fire cabinet, the fierce fire cabinet cannot be used without black fire oil. "

"Where did the second emperor's uncle get the kerosene?" Zhao Duan asked immediately.

Cao Shuang smiled wryly and said, "His Royal Highness King Yun gave King Zhenxi a token, and the black fire oil used by King Zhenxi was purchased from Feiyun Trading Company.

Without that token, Feiyun Commercial Bank would not sell black fire oil at all.

And King Zhenxi doesn’t want to give that token to us. "

"Ah..."

Zhao Duan was dumbfounded. No wonder this guy was so generous in handing over his skills. He wasn't afraid of learning from him secretly. The key source of his relationship was still in his hands!

How did this kid become so slippery after not seeing him for a few years!

Seeing that there was no hope, Zhao Duan stopped focusing on this and asked instead: "Did the Second Emperor Uncle say when it will end?"

Cao Shuang nodded: "The King of Zhenxi said that in half a month at most, he can uproot the remnants of the Five Poison Sect hiding in the mountains, and then go to other places to eliminate the remnants of the martial arts. It will take at most half a year. Then we can complete this task of wiping out the world."

Zhao Duan nodded after listening:

"I can rest assured that the emperor's uncle is doing things. Since the emperor's uncle said that he will be able to wipe out the remnants of the rivers and lakes in half a year at most, it will definitely not exceed a day. We are waiting for the good news of the emperor's uncle.

So, put this matter aside for the time being, Cao Banban, ask the Imperial City Secretary to investigate for me the shipyards belonging to the imperial court in the southeast, how many can be used?How long will it take to build the most sea ships for the court at the earliest? "

When Cao Shuang heard this, he immediately remembered the plan between His Majesty and King Yun when he was in Yunzhou County, his eyes flashed and he said, "Your Majesty, are you going to start preparations?"

Zhao Duan nodded: "Recently, the imperial court's finances have become more and more difficult, and I can't always let me use money to subsidize the national treasury.

Since those weapons are useless, let them create some value for the court and subsidize the current finances of the court. "

However, Cao Shuang was a little worried and said, "But Your Majesty, you also know that there must be a lot of things involved in these arsenals. If you move rashly, the slaves will worry..."

"What are you worried about? Are you worried about those people jumping over the wall?"

Zhao Duan sneered, then waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I don't plan to expand to the whole country at once this time. Let's start with the military equipment depot in the capital.

And this can’t be done immediately.We are just making preliminary preparations first. We have to wait until the Second Emperor's Uncle comes back to actually take action. With the Second Emperor's Uncle controlling the situation, I forgive those involved in the military department and even the nobles who do not have the courage to dare to explode!
Rather, I really want them to stab me. It has been a long time since I saw the frightened look on these people's faces when they faced the Second Emperor's Uncle.

It has been 20 years, and they must all miss their former uncle.

Hahaha! "

Looking at His Majesty with a smug smile on his face, Cao Shuang didn't know why, but always had the arrogant feeling that His Majesty was a child after finding the support of his own adults.

To use a more precise word to describe it, it is like a dog relying on people's power.

Forget forget!

Cao Shuang quickly shook his head. How could he describe His Majesty like this?

After getting rid of these messy thoughts from his head, Cao Shuang nodded heavily and said:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will send more spies to the southeast now, and I will definitely find out the true situation of Jiangnan Shipyard and Fuzhou Shipping Company!"

Zhao Duan nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered uneasy:
"By the way, let them hide. Although I don't know what they have been doing down there these years, I guess there must be some shameful things.

Don't let them think that we are going to check the bad debts of the shipyard and destroy the shipyard. "

"This slave understands this! Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely not let those people notice it!"

"it is good!"
