Chapter 149 Prince, You Are OutrageousChapter 1247 Quota

“You’re clever, aren’t you Thinking a wild boar could be traded for a firearm, especially one I hunted myself.”

Li Chen laughed and scolded, seeing Su Zhen'ting grin with a thick face, he still looked at him expectantly, waving his hand, Li Chen said: "Today this palace is in a good mood, say it, how many fire guns do you want"

"This number."

Su Zhen's outstretched a hand, his five fingers spread wide as if afraid Li Chen couldn't see.

"Five thousand!"

Li Chen gritted his teeth and said: "You treat me like a rich tycoon, where can I get so many These days, the Ministry of Works has been working hard to produce only two thousand usable ones. And we also need manpower to make pills, so five thousand is out of the question, impossible. Even if I personally went up to make them for you, there wouldn't be that many."

Su Zhen's throat cleared, and he silently swallowed the five million yuan that was almost about to leave his mouth.

Although it was far less than what he had expected, Bai Tuo's meal wasn't something to be scoffed at. Su Zhen-ting immediately said: "Two thousand it is. I'll figure out a way on my end, have the lower ranking officers queue up again, and those who can't wait any longer can share some. We can just barely make do."

The exploits of the firelances during the last rebellion are no secret now, but few know about the Qin Divine Thunder.

Despite this, those commanders each stared at the quota for muskets like rabbits with bloodshot eyes.

"Dream on!"

Li Chen refused without hesitation, saying: "This batch of firearms, this palace already has plans, your side is not within the scope of this batch, don't even think about it."

"Li Chen wouldn't even spend two thousand taels, Su Zhen Ting was getting anxious. He said, "Your Highness, you don't know, ever since everyone found out about the power of muskets, those little brats have all been clamoring to be equipped, the Department of Logistics has been swarmed, and General Hu Shifan has been going through the back door to get to work these past few days. If he went through the front door, those generals would block him and he wouldn't be able to escape."

"This still doesn't work. Those who have connections, they just went straight to my mansion and complained one by one, saying they had a pressing need for firearms, and their reasons sounded quite reasonable."

"I'm really at my wit's end. If I don't give them some firearms to appease them, this matter will be unresolvable."

Looking at Su Zhen's face, Li Chen frowned and said, "Is it really that serious"

"That's so serious!"

Su Zhen Ting said resolutely: "Your Highness, the army of our Great Qin has not updated its weapons and equipment for a long time. Moreover, it's such a powerful weapon as firearms. Everyone is looking forward to it."

Li Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "What you say makes some sense... very well, I'll allocate five hundred arquebuses to you. As for how they are distributed, you and Hu Shifan can discuss it."

Seeing that Su Zhen'ting still had something to say, Li Chen immediately said: "You shouldn't complain about it being too few. This batch of muskets is what this palace intends to send to Yueya Pass. Things always need to be prioritized. No matter how urgent they are, can they be more urgent than Yueya Pass"

“If you want muskets, then fine. This palace is like a skilled cook with no rice to cook. Let those troops down below find people. Find the craftsmen and bring them here. Send them to Song Yingxing at the Ministry of Works for training. Whoever is trained there will have priority for their quotas.”

After Li Chen finished speaking, he turned his head and left, fearing that Su Zhen Ting would continue to ask him for a firearm.his isn't just talk. The benefits of killing Li Songru are obvious.""As long as the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun dare not rebel on the spot, then even if Your Highness cannot take control of the 150,000...
