Chapter 631 Old Fourteen's Small Abacus ([-])

It is easy to issue the imperial decree, and the old man can do it with a wave of his hand, but it is not that simple to start the war. The 30 troops come from various provinces. It takes a lot of time to mobilize, and the logistics preparation work is extremely heavy. It’s just the collection of grain and fodder. Although the task is heavy, it is still relatively simple in the final analysis. After all, there are already regulations in the court, so just follow them. The possibility of making mistakes is really small. It's too big, but it's not so easy at the Ministry of Industry. Not only do they have to recruit all kinds of craftsmen for the army, but they also have to rush to make all kinds of weapons and tools for the army.

There are too many things to worry about, it's not easy to take care of them, but at this time, it just happens to be close to the end of the new year, and the Chinese New Year will be a few days away, people's hearts are uncertain, and it's not easy to arrange anything, Hong Qing It's not easy to force it, so I can only put this matter aside for the time being. I originally planned to make a decision after the new year, but I never thought that the Ministry of War obviously didn't intend to let Hongqing have a good year, and came to Gongwenkuang several times. Hurry up, the request is too high, making Hong Qing very annoyed, no, early in the morning, just after Hong Qing sat down in the office, the Ministry of War sent another doctor to negotiate.

"I kowtowed to the prince when the doctor in the arsenal of the lower official was entrusted."

Although the visitor saluted respectfully, his face was full of arrogance, not because of anything else, but because he was the servant of the old fourteen at the time, and he was a white bannerman. When he was staying, this person was his personal bodyguard. He had served the old fourteen for nearly twenty years. Since the old fourteen came to the military department, he had been promoted to be Yuanwailang, and now he even occupied the fattest vacancy in the military department. ——The palm print doctor of the Arsenal, now the old fourteenth is gaining power, and the time has risen, even if he is facing Hong Qing, who is known as the "official butcher", he is not afraid in his heart, and the voice of courtesy is very There was clearly an air of arrogance.

"Forget it, if there's anything else, let's talk."

Hong Qing didn't have a good impression of Tuo Shi, a villain who was so successful and rampant, but he couldn't be more serious with him, so he yelled expressionlessly.

"Thank you, my lord, Long En, I am here under the order of the Great General Wang, and here is the official letter, please have a look at it, my lord."

Hong Qing yelled, but she didn't say any polite words when asked, so she stood up, flipped her hands, and took out an official letter from her wide sleeves, holding it in both hands, seemingly respectful, but actually handing it in casually In front of Hong Qing.

"Ah."

Hong Qing said calmly, took the official letter casually, but didn't open the envelope, just casually put it on the copy, although she was speechless, her intention of chasing away the guests was already evident.

"Wang Ye Mingjian, my family's great general Wang You confessed that it is an urgent military matter, and there is no delay. Please give me a reply as soon as possible, so as not to delay the military plane."

Although he could see Hong Qing's intention of chasing away guests, Ke Tuoshi didn't intend to leave just like that. Instead, he clasped his fists arrogantly and put on a pressing posture, insisting on forcing Hong Qing. Qing gave an answer on the spot.

"Hey."

Hong Qing could see it, she was here to find fault on purpose, if she was serious about it, she would only lose her own face, with Hong Qing's IQ, she would never do such a stupid thing, it was just cold He smiled, and didn't bother to answer, but picked up the official letter expressionlessly, tore off the seal on it, took out the booklet from inside, flipped through it casually, and immediately frowned.

What the hell is this bastard, Old Fourteen, up to!

The brochure is very long, and there are many contents, but in the final analysis, there is only one thing, and that is to draw up an unimaginable list of weapon requirements. All of them have been replaced with new weapons. Obviously, this is an impossible task for the Ministry of Industry. Last year, the Ministry of Industry did invest in the construction of two new steel plants, but they are still under construction now. It has not been put into use, and the capacity of the existing Jingshi Iron and Steel Works is limited, and the steel produced each year is barely enough for the new army and the navy to cast guns. Although in the past three years, the Ministry of Industry has already had The inventory of these guns and ammunition is extremely limited, and it may be possible to arm an army of 30 people, but as for an army of 30, there is no hope at all, even if Hongqing can do it, she cannot do it Let's just cook without rice. There is no doubt that the request made by the old fourteen is simply nonsense. What kind of medicine is it?

"Go back and tell your master that this matter is absolutely impossible, even if the lawsuit goes to the imperial court, it will be the same. If there is anything, let him discuss it with the king himself, go!"

Regardless of what the other end of the old fourteen wanted to do, Hong Qing would not be ambiguous when she should make a statement, and unceremoniously threw the folder in her hand into Tuo Shi's arms, and said coldly. The order to chase away guests was issued.

"My lord, this is military affairs, you can't..."

Hearing Hong Qing's words, Tuo Shidang became anxious, his eyes widened, and he wanted to argue with Hong Qing.

"Come on, see off!"

Hong Qing didn't intend to be serious with Tuo Shi, she just didn't want to lower her own value, but she didn't pay attention to such humble officials, even if there was a great general like Old Fourteen standing behind him, this would When the son saw that he wanted to yell, it was because the boss was impatient, and he didn't give him a chance to finish his sentence, so he raised his hand and uttered an order without showing any sympathy.

"My lord, please!"

When Hong Qing gave such an order, Li Minxing, who was waiting by her side, didn't dare to neglect her, and in a flash, she was already stopped in front of Tuo Shi, and with a wave of her hand, she was about to drive him away without any explanation.

"My lord, what you've done is really too much. If you don't accept it, you will be punished..."

It was obvious that Tuo Shi was suspected of intentionally making things worse, facing Li Minxing's driving away, not only was he not afraid, but on the contrary, he uttered threatening words recklessly.

"Slow down, Minxing, buckle the folder in that guy's hand, who are you, let me throw you out!"

It's fine if you don't let go of the threat, but Hong Qing thought of something strange after yelling like this, so she waved her hand and gave the order coldly.

"twitter!"

Since Hong Qing gave the order, Li Minxing didn't dare to delay a little bit, and hastily responded, stretched out his left hand, and unceremoniously snatched the folder in Tuo Shi's hand, and pulled it with his right hand, The man slipped up with his collar between his hands, and regardless of how he struggled, he dragged the man out of the office forcefully, threw him into the courtyard, and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, his murderous aura rose, If you dare to mess around, you have to kill people.

"Wait, wait..., hmph, wait and see!"

Toshi was able to become the personal bodyguard of the old fourteen in his early years, and his skills were good, but compared with Li Minxing's top master, it was too far behind. He was controlled by Li Minxing with one hand before. , now that he was charged with murderous intent again, his heart was already empty, and he wanted to force himself to say some tough words, but he didn't have the courage to say it, so he could only drop a scene in resentment, and just feel disheartened people left.

"My lord, here is the booklet."

Since Tuo Shi walked away tactfully, Li Minxing himself would no longer be familiar with him, so he just sneered, and then went back to Hong Qing's office, holding the booklet in both hands, and handing it to the copy in front of Hong Qing .

"Ah."

Hong Qing didn't say much, just gave a noncommittal noncommittal, waved her hand, and signaled Li Minxing to back down by herself, but she herself frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

This smell is a bit wrong, what the hell is the old fourteen trying to do?

Hong Qing knew very well about Old Fourteen, and knew that this person was definitely not an idle person, he seemed bold, but in fact he was careful, he was definitely not a reckless person, and he would not forget just because he was favored now. There is no doubt that when he sent Tuo Shi to cause trouble, he must have other thoughts, nothing else, the traces of Tuo Shi's previous deliberate troubles are too obvious, if Hong Qing really cares If you get mad and forget to take down the discount, you will really fall into the scheme of the old fourteen if you make a fuss—it doesn’t take much, you just need to replace another official letter that you have prepared in advance and give it to Hong Qing After reading this book, Hongqing filed an imperial complaint, even if she had ten mouths, she couldn't figure it out. As for the consequences, obviously she could only be led by the nose by the old fourteen. Such a small calculation, With Hong Qing's IQ, how could she fail to see it, but when it comes to the real intention of the old fourteen, Hong Qing is a little out of control, nothing else, there are too many possibilities, even if Hong Qing Qing Zhi is as deep as the sea, and it is difficult to figure it out for a while.

"My lord, the Great General Wang is here and said he has something important to see you."

Just when Hong Qing was deep in thought, she saw Li Minxing quickly turned around from behind the screen, rushed to the front of the copy with a few strides, bowed, and hastened to report.

Yo, the owner came running after hitting the dog?interesting!

As soon as she heard that the old fourteen was coming, a sneer appeared on the corner of Hong Qing's mouth immediately, but she didn't express much. Turning his head out from behind the screen wall, it was obvious that he came with some bad intentions.

"My nephew has met Uncle Fourteen."

Officialdom has always been a place that pays attention to dignity, even if she has a lot of opinions on the old fourteen in her heart, but Hongqing will definitely not spare the courtesy that should be done, and she has reached the old fourteen in a few strides. In front of Shisi, he saluted very respectfully.

"I can't afford to be your gift!"

Old Fourteen was obviously on fire, even though Hong Qing's manners were impeccable, he didn't buy it, and let out a muffled grunt.

"Oh, Uncle Fourteen, please come inside."

Seeing that the old fourteen made it clear that he was going to find fault, Hong Qing's heart was already aroused, but he didn't bring it to his face, but smiled gently, stretched out his hand, and gestured very respectfully. A "please" gesture.
