No one is more crazy about money than Li Lingyue.

But what Qin Shaoyou is thinking about is spending money.

It is certainly a welcome solution to Wu Sansi, but Qin Shaoyou feels the seriousness of his crisis even more.

In fact, at first, the Wei family arranged for Wu Sansi to check and balance Qin Shaoyou. As long as Wu Sansi did not directly deal with the river repair, Qin Shaoyou was willing to tolerate it.

Because as analyzed by Wang Ju, a staff member of the Shence House, and even Qin Shaoyou's most important right-hand man, Wu Sansi, in Henan, has many disadvantages, but one advantage, that is, it can make the court feel at ease. Therefore, Wu Sansi only made a little trouble every now and then, and the Shence House could tolerate him completely. In this way, the court would be at ease, and the Wei family would not be anxious to attack the Shence House.

But Wu Sansi was eager to show in front of the Wei family, and was directly in contact with the fundamental interests of the Shence Mansion. He had reached the point where he was not trying to get rid of it, so Qin Shaoyou made the worst choice.

Once the national security department in later generations notices a spy, it is often not in a hurry to arrest it, because they know that since the person has been exposed, his behavior is controllable. If it is removed at this time, the other party will only send another spy, and no one knows his identity and whereabouts. It is more practical to keep this person whose identity has been exposed. Unless the other party does something extremely harmful, they must beware of it before it happens.

Now that Wu Sansi is dead, the court has only made Di Renjie to "check and balance", which is obviously useless to the Wei family.

In this case, the Wei family will definitely begin to be uneasy, and once their uneasiness increases, who can guarantee what methods will be next?

Since the Wei family's methods have become unknown, the only way is to strengthen themselves.

The recruitment of the Shence Army has been put on the front desk, and the large-scale casting of artillery has begun. The original size of the Shence Army was 8,000. Now Qin Shaoyou has a plan to double the Shence Army. At least, this force must be able to defend Henan Prefecture. In addition, for local public security and assistance to the Shence Army, a so-called Henan Unity Battalion has also begun to recruit. After all, the Shence Army is too expensive and has raised a Shence Army of 10,000 people. It is enough to raise a 10,000 mansion army.

There are more. The biggest function of this elite is to fight, but if used in other places, it will become a killer to kill chickens and use a ox knife. This united camp uses the model of the government soldiers, and the treatment will naturally be better than that of the ordinary government soldiers. All military officers also choose from the retired officers and soldiers of the Shence Army, with a number of 20,000. Their main responsibility is to deal with local affairs, patrol the business roads, and guard all the waters. If necessary, they can also suppress civil unrest.

In order to recruit soldiers, Shen Ce Mansion moved out 7 million stags of money and food at one time. As for manpower, Shen Ce Army is not a problem. Nowadays, the good children of the good family are already proud of the Shen Ce Army, so the news came out and they flocked to it. On the other hand, the Tuanjie Camp, although it recruited a lot of people for a while, the effect was not very good, with only more than 3,000 people applying. There are still many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people here. Anyway, the Tuanjie Camp is not in a hurry for the time being, so Qin Shaoyou didn't put too much thought into it, just take it slowly.

The casting of artillery has become the key to the problem.

The Shence Army had a special staffing agency, and now with the birth of artillery. Because the Shence Mansion attaches great importance to artillery, it specially recruited a large number of skilled craftsmen and spent a lot of money here, so various artillery became varied.

Artillery has a wide range of uses. One is field artillery. This type of artillery must be lightweight. However, once it is lightweight, because the level of steel and iron making is limited, its power and range will appear much lower.

Another type is the artillery that is firmly guarded on the position. This type of artillery is often huge in size and weighs dozens of tons at a time. Therefore, it is also powerful but difficult to move.

Another type is the cannon placed on the city wall. Because it is too huge, the recoil will damage the city wall, which is more compromised.

In addition, the loading of ammunition has become more diverse, including solid circular bullets specially used for attacking difficulties, cobs and sub-compartment bullets that are more useful, and flowering bullets that strive to create terrifying damage, and so on.

Nowadays, the artillery workshop located near Mengjin Port is located by the newly built canal. It is tightly guarded here and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter and exit. In the past, it was relatively leisurely because the artillery technology needed to be improved urgently, so even the latest artillery was only a small-scale manufacturing. Now, the demand in the army is increasing. After the power of artillery is increasing, the use of artillery in the army has begun to frequently be used.

Now here, work is almost day and night. After countless artillery pieces are formed, they pass through the canal and transport it to various places by ship.

The Shence Army governs the Tuanjie Battalion, while the Tuanjie Battalion is different from the Shence Army. The Shence Army only needs everyone to be locked in the camp and focus on training, which is the so-called raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while. The Tuanjie Battalion cannot be trained, because their tasks are relatively diverse. For example, in order to control various counties in Henan, the Shence Mansion has set up posts in each county, and the military and horses of the Tuanjie Battalion are stationed in various places. In addition, there are docks, treasurys, and checkpoints, which require people to garrison. The Shence Mansion has planned to arrange many posts and positions in various places in Henan Prefecture, so the Tuanjie Battalion has now become a place with a strong demand for artillery.

Qin Shaoyou has been in the army these days, watching the new recruits practice, and occasionally participated in some military officers' improvements in the military's infantry practice.

In Qin Shaoyou's opinion, this is the Dinghai Shenjian of the entire Henan Prefecture, so you must not be careless.

Wu Sansi is dead.

Wu Sansi's death was only introduced to Ziwei Palace after half a month.

Since Wu Sansi's death, Wei Zhengde, who was guarding the palace, was as if he was facing a great enemy. He was even more careful about Wu Zetian in Ziwei Palace. Almost all eunuchs and female officials who entered and left were searched and inspected.

The Ziwei Palace is almost isolated from the outside world, and Shangguan Wan'er is used to it. The news from the outside is often the guesswork of some imperial guards. For example, the prevention and ban is severe again. I guess something must have happened. Wei Zhengde has not appeared at the gate of the inner palace for several days. Why is this?

When Wu Sansi's death was confirmed, Shangguan Wan'er did not show any expression until the night time, but quietly arrived at the bedroom. Wu Zetian seemed to be waiting for her. In the darkness, she looked at Shangguan Wan'er with a bright light and said word by word: "What happened?"

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Wu Zetian deeply, and she seemed a little hesitant.

Wu Sansi, after all, is His Majesty's nephew, although this nephew is not good at it,

She sighed in her heart and couldn't help feeling sad. His Majesty's son-in-law killed her nephew, which might be a kind of sadness.

After thinking about it, Shangguan Wan'er said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, King Liang, is dead."

Wu Zetian's face remained unchanged, but his eyes narrowed slightly, saying word by word: "Die?"

"It's dead."

Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile: "It's true that he is a sin that cannot survive. I have known for a long time that today will be there. So what about Qin Shaoyou? He killed King Liang. Isn't Qin Shaoyou a person who seems reckless, but he is actually cautious. He will never let himself die with Wu Sansi. This guy really didn't teach me that he would be happy. Wan'er, the last thing I regret is that the people of the Wu family have not succeeded enough and suffered more than failure. But what I am most proud of is that he recognized a son-in-law. This person is an ordinary person and should not be underestimated or underestimated."

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian was actually full of energy and said, "The Wei family must be shocked at this time. Qin Shaoyou killed Wu Sansi. This means that the Wei family has completely lost control of Henan, and their court must be uneasy at this time. As long as people are uneasy, they must do something extraordinary. Maybe not at the moment, but when they are completely enlightened, this drama will begin. Wan'er, do you know, how will this drama continue next?"

Shangguan Wan'er was excited when she saw Wu Zetian's face. This excitement seemed to be from Wu Zetian's original intention. In the past two years, Wu Zetian, who had vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name, had long disappeared. However, once it was revealed, Shangguan Wan'er understood that this quiet life had completely ended, and then another bloody storm was gone.

She couldn't help but miss the comfortable and quiet days of the past two years, but she seemed to have some expectations for the future. The women of the Tang Dynasty were always unwilling to be at peace. She raised her eyes and with the glimmer of light, she had already seen the unconcealed ambition in Wu Zetian's eyes.

Wu Zetian said lightly: "Next, it is the most important point. The Wei family needs an excuse. This excuse is in Luoyang Palace, and Qin Shaoyou also needs an excuse. This excuse will also be in Luoyang Palace Wan'er. Look, the current inch of land under your feet will be the most eye-catching focus in the world in time, and I."

Wu Zetian looked calm: "It's a life hanging on a thread, or a decisive world, it depends on that time, and that day will come very close to Wan'er. Take a good look, let's see whose world is here."
