Wind rises time and space gate

Chapter 419 Just watch
It was 298 years after the founding of Da Qi, and it was passed down to the 18th generation of Emperor Zheng.

The country's seas and rivers are clear, and the countries and tribes around Daqi are afraid of Daqi's power and dare not invade on a large scale. Except for the important towns on the nine sides, swords and guns have been stored in stores for many years.

Without fighting, the exchange of swords, guns, swords and halberds slowed down.

The Ministry of War distributes military supplies to various military camps, whether they are available or not, more or less, new or old, so there are not many people to check and pay attention to them. It's not like during the war, when you and I lack a piece of ordnance, you can make a big noise and everyone will know about it.

The prince is in charge of the official department, and the King of Qin is in charge of the household department, but the military department has always been the emperor's own people. The prince and King Qin didn't want to put their own people inside, but they were worried about being jealous of the emperor, so they had to recruit them secretly.

Now Zhao Guangyuan ordered someone to reveal the news to the prince. When the prince checked, he was shocked.

In recent years, not only has the Ministry of War distributed new weapons to various places unfairly, but the old weapons that were replaced and the damaged weapons have also disappeared. There are actually very few old weapons recovered in the accounts of the Ministry of War.

Daqi's control over ironware is very strict. In addition to not being allowed to procure it privately, even if the blacksmith shops outside have to apply for pig iron, there are certain quotas. The government strictly controls the situation and often checks the whereabouts of the ironware.

In addition to not allowing large-scale iron weapons to flow into the people to prevent civil unrest, even the weapons built by the Ministry of War are strictly controlled, and the origin and destination of a piece of iron must be strictly registered.

Generally speaking, because the nine-border town was on the front line against the enemy and guarded the country for the emperor and the people, its weapons suffered a lot of wear and tear, and a batch of ordnance had to be replaced almost every two years.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you will be allocated as much as you declare. Reporting 100,000 swords and guns can give you three or four achievements, which is pretty good, and you have to replace them with old and damaged weapons to prevent personal gain.

Generally speaking, each military camp also knows the nature of the imperial court. It is not a severely damaged weapon. It can be hammered and repaired by itself and used if it can be used. Only those that are really unusable will be handed over to the imperial court for recycling.

Every time after a battle, the soldiers would be asked to clean up the battlefield. Not only weapons and armor, but also the arrows fired would be recovered. If the arrow cannot be retracted, the arrow shaft must also be retracted.

But when the prince's people checked, they found that only half of the newly-made weapons went to the important town of Jiubian, and the other half actually went to other Taiping Guard camps.

Moreover, the number of old and damaged weapons recovered was wrong and dropped significantly. Not only was the number wrong, but the number of new weapons produced after the melting of these old weapons was also wrong. How could there be such a huge loss?
Or is it that someone has fallen from the middle?
The prince naturally knew the importance of weapons. Knowing it, he was so shocked that he sent almost all his men out to investigate.

The damaged weapons were not returned to the Ministry of War. Is it true that they were not there, or were they hidden secretly? What is the purpose of hiding it in private? Was it melted down privately to make new weapons, or was it used for other purposes? What are you doing to save so much iron?
Moreover, the number of new weapons created was not only wrong, but their direction was also unclear. The prince's heart skipped a beat.

"Your Majesty, almost all the people on the Prince's side have been sent out to investigate the flow of weapons."

In the Prince Yue's Mansion, the staff were discussing matters all morning.

"This is a good thing. I wonder how King Qin will respond."

Zhao Guangyuan didn't say anything after hearing this. The King of Qin's response was simply to send people to clean up the situation and prevent the prince's people from finding out. In the end, even if they were found out, they would try their best to distance themselves from the relationship. How could King Qin let such a thing stick to him?

This would mean telling others openly that he was going to rebel.

It just depends on whether the prince or the King of Qin will be faster.

No matter how hard you try to cover it up, what you have done has been done, and it is impossible not to find any traces of it.

"The King of Qin has won over a large number of generals in the army over the years. No matter how careful the correspondence is, it is impossible not to reveal a little bit of news."

Some staff suggested starting with the generals who had been won over. "Your Majesty, do you want to reveal the list we have to the Crown Prince?"

Some staff members disagreed, "The King of Qin is a cautious and shrewd man, so it's better for us to just sit back and watch. If there is any action, and the King of Qin gets the handle, then the two of them will turn against our prince, and they will probably lose more than the gain." "Yes, the prince has quite a lot of people. There are capable people, even if they get the news later than us, I believe they will be able to find out those people soon. "

Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "We might as well not move at this time. The prince is not that stupid. The news has been handed to him. He will definitely take this opportunity to carry out a big purge. Even if he is not a member of the King of Qin, he will be caught in the wrong , put on your own people."

"Yes, listen to the prince."

The prince is still investigating secretly, and the news has not yet reached the court, but a person in charge of the accounts of the Ministry of War has died suddenly at home due to drinking too much. Except for those who are interested, no one else has any other ideas, and they just treat it as an accident.

However, the prince lost his temper. He hated King Qin and King Chu for acting too quickly, and he was also angry that the people under his control were not careful enough in doing things.

The court hall of Da Qi was still peaceful. Although there were noisy meetings every day, they were just trivial matters, arguing for their own interests. However, various guard camps have become turbulent due to the prince's private investigation.

Because the prince suddenly took action, the king of Qin and Chu were caught off guard. He was busy checking for leaks and filling the vacancies, and did not care about the relationship with Huixian Tower. Instead, he allowed Huixian Tower to slowly grow bigger and the business became more and more prosperous.

Now even three-year-old children all over the capital know that the food at Huixian Tower is delicious, and they are all clamoring to get up early and go to Huixian Tower for breakfast.

Most people are used to eating two meals, and those with a little wealth can only have a few breakfasts, such as porridge, noodles, or steamed buns. It is impossible for rich people to have dozens of breakfasts prepared in the kitchen early in the morning.

I heard that the breakfast at Huixianlou was not only diverse and delicious, but also unheard of. There were even dozens of kinds of porridge. Everyone wanted to get up early so that they could go to Huixianlou early in the morning and have a delicious meal.

Those students who got up early to go to the academy were unwilling to stay in bed. They ordered a few delicious dishes at Huixian Tower and had a good meal before slowly going to the academy in a horse-drawn carriage and donkey cart.

After arriving at the academy, I was in great spirits all morning. My eyesight was clear and my memory was much better. I could recite the knowledge taught by my teacher yesterday without any lag all morning.

More and more students rushed to Huixian Tower for breakfast.

The breakfast at Huixianlou was also cheaper for the owners, shopkeepers and managers who came to open the shop all morning.

There are also small vendors selling breakfast on the street, and there are one or two tables where you can sit and eat, but they think they are not worthy of their status. Moreover, I have long been tired of eating those breakfasts. I feel hungry even after not eating. Eating breakfast every day is like completing a task, without any sense of expectation.

Now Huixianlou sells breakfast. You can sit there without being blown by the wind or wet by the rain. It is rich and has a wide range of noodles. You can also invite a few friends to sit down and eat together, and then chat about business matters together and exchange ideas. How could I not go?

I have to go to Huixian Tower to report every day.

Huixian Tower originally only opened the lobby on the first floor, but at the request of diners, private rooms on the second floor were opened. This was not enough, and they were forced to open the third floor. Originally, they wanted to open a private room on the fourth floor, but Lin Zhaoxia refused to let it go.

Shopkeeper Jiang doesn’t understand hunger marketing, but she understands the essence of it.

People are like that sometimes, the less they can get, the more they want.

Of course she knew that opening an additional private room on the first floor would increase the passenger flow, and building a self-moving circular table would facilitate more diners, but the more difficult it was to sit on the wheel, the more diners would miss it. If you can’t eat breakfast, you’ll think about lunch; if you can’t eat lunch, you’ll think about dinner. After dinner, I was thinking about the delicious breakfast.

But there are a lot of repeat customers.

The breakfast business has only been in business for half a month, and the revenue is almost as much as the dinner in the evening.
