Chapter 0073 Forced Marriage
In front of the left prime minister's mansion, Zhuo Bufan got out of the carriage and saw Zhou Tong stride to come. There was only one person. Needless to say, the task failed.
"Mother, like a rabbit, let him run away." Zhou Tong said angrily, beating the grass rabbit and missed his hand.
"Well, it's okay, by the way, you rushed to Tiangongfang overnight and told them not to go out of the city to test recently." I'm afraid that Zhuo's intuition is not so simple. Thinking of the brocade guard Zhou Tong saw in Tiangongfang, I'm afraid that someone is really staring at him.
Is it Princess Changping? Zhuo Fan shook his head and would rather believe that it was not true.
After having dinner with his parents, Zhuo Fan did not slip away quickly, but sat in the back hall with his parents who were used to having a cup of tea after dinner.
Zhuo Yin asked strangely, "You are clever today. Don't ask your father for anything."
"High, really high." Zhuo Fan hurried over with a big flattery and smiled, "Dad, there is indeed a problem that needs Dad's strong support to draw a knife for help!"
Zhuo Yin ignored the flattery, thought for a moment, and said, "Thus, how much money do you want?"
"Yeah?" Zhuo Fan really felt that his father was smart and said strangely, "How do you know I want silver?"
"I thought you were smart. You should be careful about the workshop that day. Don't be caught. I support you in the matter of firearms. How much do you need?"
Zhuo Bofan raised a thumb high and said happily, "There is a smart father who saves trouble. In the early stage, it's about 500,000 taels."
"Pu~", Zhuo Yin almost sprayed a mouthful of tea on Zhuo Fufan and said in shock: "500,000 taels? Do you think you are a fan of Zhou Zijin? Even if you stript your old man, I can't get 500,000 taels of silver. In the early stage, is there still the middle and late stage?
Zhuo Feifan scratched his head and said, "This... And..." and the matter of armor and heavy artillery is not too early.
"I'd like to ask, what kind of team are you going to make? What kind of team costs 500,000 taels of silver for 4,000 people!?" Zhuo Yin is really popular. Isn't this stinky boy wrapping his sister outside? Even that, he can't use so much money, and thousands of them are enough.
"Listen to me, dad, I'm going to train them all into cavalry," Zhuo Fan explained.
"Oh, that takes a lot of money, but it doesn't cost 500,000 taels. You can let those four kids think of something." Zhuo Yin began to think about how to get the silver.
"Said that these 500,000 taels do not include salaries and horses."
Zhuo Yin almost spewed out again and said, "Is that a weapon? Don't tell me that the spear knife will cost 500,000 taels, even if they are matched with long knives, tens of thousands of taels will be enough!"
"Uh," Zhuo Bofan raised his thumb again and said with a smile, "Father is wise. It's a long, a short, and a narrow-edged saber."
Zhuo Yin said, "What about lying to you? My best long silver in Dahua is ten taels of silver at most. Counting those two, 100,000 taels should be enough. What's wrong with 500,000 taels?
"Dad, Dahua's best long sling can't compare with ours, thirty-two."
"You are a loser. You thought you had two sets of troops, so you gave it to me. Let's not talk about the price first. Do you only want them to use firearms? What about the crossbow? What about the spearman? If it's a fast horse of a rait, you don't know how to die. Don't think that I don't understand these truths if I haven't brought a soldier!"
"Hey, dad, if these 4,000 cavalry have a speed of 60 rounds, with a range of 800 steps, plus the bombardment of heavy artillery, how many soldiers and horses do you think Tartars can use to rush to our army camp?" Zhuo Bufan said.
"What?" Zhuo Yin immediately stood up and widened his eyes. Even with his intelligence, he couldn't help counting. Even if he couldn't count, there seemed to be a projectile like a swarm of locusts. Four thousand firearms, 800 steps, one 60 strikes, which can be shot ten times when the cavalry rushes through this journey. What's more, Zhuo's army is a cavalry... How much is the total of the Taranian cavalry, 50,000? One hundred thousand? 200,000? Oh, my God...
"So, Dad, do you think this money is worth it?" What Zhuo Fan didn't say was that with this soldier and horse in his hand, no matter how bad it is, it is not impossible to be a strong man. Of course, he also knows that such a soldier and horse alone may not be able to conquer the world, and it is not easy to build such a soldier and horse. It is all white money.
Zhuo Yin knew that his son Hua spent a little, but this kind of thing would not be out of tune. After a long time, he suddenly said firmly, "There will be 100,000 taels of emergency in ten days. If there is no problem, I will try my best to start work, and I will slowly figure out the rest."
Even if this matter comes to an end, Zhuo Bufan also knows his own family background. 100,000 taels is regarded as everything he has. This is why my father has to do something to do with the flow. Otherwise, these 100,000 taels can't be taken out. In contrast, Dad is already quite clean, which is this atmosphere.
Song Jia didn't ask these things. Seeing that the two of them had finished talking about the matter, she immediately said anxiously, "You are busy with you, but this marriage still needs to be done quickly."
Zhuo Fan was dumbfounded and said in astonishment, "What, what marriage? Mother, did you finally accept your kindness and let your father take a concubine?"
"He dares?" Song Jia stared and said, "Don't break me. My mother has taken good care of the marriage I told you last time. That girl is so handsome..."
"Sh on!" Zhuobufan called out, "Mom, my child has been so busy recently. How can I have time to get married? Let's talk about it." Since the last time Princess Changping deliberately recruited a son-in-law, Zhuobufan has been particularly disgusted with this kind of marriage that doesn't consider his feelings.
"Huh? Your child, didn't you agree last time? You also agreed. Mother doesn't care. This matter is settled. Your father and I have been optimistic about the date. Three days later, you will marry me. In the past few days, you will stay at my hometown and not be allowed to go anywhere." The extraordinary nature is the best way to be a mother. If he is a little unhappy, If you can't do it well, you will really oil the soles of your feet. Since the child shows reluctance today, you really need to pay close attention to it.
Ah? How can that be? Tiangongfang can't live without me!" Zhuo Bofan is really anxious.
Zhuo Yin said, "Why can't you leave? You are not those firearms experts. I know that several famous masters in Dahua have been dug up by you. If there is anything for Zhou Tong and Zhuo Er to do for you, this matter is settled. Go back to your own room. Let me tell you, I have already said hello to the nursing home, and you can't run away this time. It's time to bolt it." Last time I got a Princess Changping back, and if I don't restrain it, I can get two concubines in the palace out.
Zhuo Bufan here is dumbfounded. Somewhere in the capital, there is a much simpler house than Xiangfu.
"Mother, don't marry, let alone marry that extraordinary!"
