Chapter 318 The Prosperity of Firearms

Among the many Wuding Hall worshipers, some people look complicated.

Some of them had been so respected by the countryside before.

The recognition and admiration in the eyes of the people made them wonder whether they had really gone the wrong way in the past?

Even Yue Yue is the same.

She murmured in her heart, "Is the emperor really so loved by the people..."

But she subconsciously did not call Zhao Dongting a "dengtu..."

Wait for the convoy to arrive in front of the palace and follow the palace gate to enter the palace.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu took the soldiers of the Feilong Army to the military camp, and Le left Zhao Dongting's chariot for free and took the Wuding Hall to the Wuding Hall.

As the head of Wuding Hall, he had just brought hundreds of people back to the palace with Wuding Hall, so naturally there were many things to arrange.

Concubine Yang seemed to be still angry with Ying Er, so she took the eunuch and the palace maid straight into the bedroom.

Zhao Dongting did not care about rest and went to the Political Consultative Hall with his ministers.

He originally planned to take Ying'er to Yang Shufei's bedroom to ask for a meeting after discussing political affairs. However, as soon as he got off the carriage, Ying'er said, "Emperor, Ying'er wants to go to the Empress Dowager's bedroom to pay tribute."

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Okay, the Queen Mother is actually very soft-hearted. Say something nice and she will forgive you."

Ying Er nodded slightly, but her expression was inevitably a little nervous.

She took her parents away.

Zhao Dongting led Qin Han and his ministers to the Political Consultative Hall and stood in sequence in the Political Consultative Hall.

Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, Xiang Dongyang, Chen Wenlong, Su Liuyi, Liu Hongyi and others were in charge of the army, and all the ministers of the various political departments were listed.

Zhao Dongting had just returned at this time. Although many people were puzzled by Ying Er's affairs, no one said it at such a moment.

Originally, the ministers should have avoided talking about the emperor's harem. Moreover, the war is approaching, so Isn't it a question of this in the Political Consultative Hall to ask for scolding?

After Zhao Dongting sat down, Chen Wenlong took the lead and looked ashamed. "Emperor, I went to Dali to go back without any success. Please punish the emperor."

With the current situation in the Southern Song Dynasty, Dali really needed troops to send aid. He failed to convince Duan Zhixing. Although Lu Xiufu and others did not say anything about him, the other ministers did not dare to say that his deputy state command was not wrong, Chen Wenlong felt ashamed. He knew how much hope Zhao Dongting had for his mission to Dali.

All the ministers looked at Zhao Dongting, and some of them were close to Chen Wenlong and even planned to be listed as Chen Wenlong for mercy.

However, what they didn't expect was that Zhao Dongting was actually smiling, "It's okay, it's okay, Lord Chen has worked hard for this trip."

The person Qin Han mentioned who could convince Duan Zhixing was directed from Pingnan, and the ministers in the palace didn't know about this at all.

At present, everyone only thought that Zhao Dongting was magnanimous, and now they admired Zhao Dongting a little more.

At this age, he is able to be civil and military, good at fighting, and can govern the country. He has such a broad mind. The little emperor is not comparable to any emperor of that generation in the past.

"The emperor is wise!"

Someone took the lead in flattering, holy farts, and then the sound of flattering in the entire hall was out of control.

Zhao Dongting was too lazy to stop them. He knew that this was an old problem and accepted it calmly.

When all the ministers calmed down again, he looked at the Secretary of the Military Science Department Xu Yuesong, who was in charge of the Military Science Department, "Mr. Xu, the Military Science Department has also developed new weapons recently?"

Xu Yuesong came to Leizhou from Lin'an and followed the imperial court. He used to be the chief official of the Weapons and was ranked in the seventh rank.

Now, Zhao Dongting attaches great importance to the development of weapons without exception. He has also reached the top and became the third-rank Shangshu.

Although this Shangshu does not have as much real power as Chen Jianghan, after all, he is also a third-rank official, right?

Xu Yuesong had never been named by the emperor in the Political Affairs Hall like this before, and even saw it was rare. He was so excited that he was a little trembling, and even his face was constantly shaking. He hurriedly stepped out and knelt down and said, "Back to the emperor, the Military Science Department has not developed new weapons recently."

This made Zhao Dongting wonder if his trembling was because of fear.

However, it was not beyond Zhao Dongting's expectations that no new weapons were developed. He could not be disappointed.

It is not easy to develop thermal weapons. With current technological level, he can't hope that Xu Yuesong can develop missiles, right?

The Military Science Department was able to find a different approach and develop thunderbolt cannons and dragon guns, which made him quite satisfied.

In this era, it is probably difficult to make improvements in gunpowder, and only slight changes are made on the transmitter.

He nodded and looked at the Secretary of the Military Industry Department Li Qingyun, "Mr. Li, how many weapons in the Military Industry Department are in stock now?"

Li Qingyun also followed from Lin'an, and was just Xu Yuesong's deputy before. At that time, the weapon shop was integrated with research and manufacturing, but now it is separated. The chief Xu Yuesong became the Minister of the Military Science Department who supervised the research on weapons, while Li Qingyun, who used to be in charge of inventory, became the Minister of the Military Industry Department.

The Military Industry Department is responsible for manufacturing and hoarding weapons.

Although these two departments are not in charge of many people, their status in the current Southern Song Dynasty is unparalleled and important.

When Li Qingyun heard Zhao Dongting calling him, he was even more excited than Xu Yuesong. He quickly knelt down and said, "Report to the emperor, in addition to the weapons sent to the various armies, the Military Industry Department now has 840 grenade bullets, more than 4,000 thunderbolt cannons, and 12,000 Shenlong guns. In addition, there are more than 140,000 sky-bombing thunders, more than 20,000 grenade bullets, and no matter the iron bullets of Shenlong guns."

"hiss……"

After listening to Li Qingyun's report, even Zhao Dongting couldn't help but suck in the cold air.

In the past two years, he has indeed urged the Ministry of Military Industry to speed up the production of weapons, but he never thought that he would create so many weapons.

This was far beyond his expectations.

He was happy, but he was a little confused, "How can the progress of the Military Industry Department be so fast?"

Li Qingyun looked at Lu Xiufu and said, "The State Council ordered the Lord to recruit more than a thousand craftsmen for our Military Industry Department."

"oh……"

Zhao Dongting looked at Lu Xiufu and nodded when he saw Lu Xiufu nodding.

Although Lu Xiufu was a civil servant, he obviously still had some understanding of military trends. He was undoubtedly very good at recruiting people for the Military Industry Department.

Zhao Dongting was originally worried that the Military Industry Department would not have enough weapons reserves, so he promised Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue that he would issue two hundred thunderbolt cannons and five hundred Shenlong guns to each army and need to speed up the production. Now, there is obviously no such worry.
