After lunch, I rested for about an hour before I went to the palace with Yang Linguang.

The palace is indeed very majestic and spectacular, but if you walk, it is a different matter. Following Yang Linguang, you get off the car at Fengtian Gate and walk inside. I don’t know how long it took to walk, but finally arrived at the emperor’s imperial study room. When you arrived at the imperial study room, you asked the little eunuch at the door and found out that the emperor had gone to the imperial garden. The eighth princess Zhou Wu was playing chess in the garden with him.

There was no choice but to walk towards the Imperial Garden. I had to remember the road while walking. At this time, Yang Linguang told me that if the emperor summoned me one day, would I still have to hire a guide? But the palace is too big and it makes me dizzy after going around. Then I can still remember the road above.

After finally reaching the Imperial Garden, I couldn't help but have a question in my heart: Are the gardens in Dazhou similar? They must have fish ponds, pavilions, and rockery? The same is true for this Imperial Garden. There are a lot of these things, but they look more scenic than the ordinary ones, and they are worthy of being produced by the royal family.

The place where King Jing and the Eighth Princess Zhou Hua played chess was in a pavilion in the pond, and there were several eunuchs around him to serve him. One of them was Eunuch Lin, who had given me the emperor's oral instructions to me to marry the princess.

When we were about 20 steps away from them, we were stopped by two soldiers. Then we reported our identities and a eunuch would report it first. Only after we got permission were allowed.

The little eunuch went up to report, King Jing nodded after hesitating, and then the eunuch came back and said respectfully: "Two sirs, please come over and talk!"

We also quickly returned the greeting and said, "Thank you, my father-in-law!" Then the guards on both sides let go.

After the pavilion, King Jing was still playing chess with Zhou Hua. King Jing was dressed in an ordinary outfit today. Except for the dragon patterns on the clothes, the others were like an ordinary middle-aged man. Today, Zhou Hua seemed to have dressed up deliberately, and a light yellow palace dress outlined her beautiful curves. Some of the embroidered patterns on the palace dress were even more exquisite, and the pretty face that was lightly applied with pink makeup made it look even more beautiful. For Zhou Hua, when I was in Shangling, I treated her like Feng'er as my sister, so I just admired her very beautiful dress today, and I had no other thoughts.

At this time, the winner seemed to have been decided on the chessboard. King Jing sighed, threw the chess piece in his hand into his chess hall, then waved his hand to ask Eunuch Lin to withdraw the chessboard, and then said, "I lost, but I didn't expect that after a while, my chess skills have become much longer!" Then he turned his head and asked me, "Do you know where I lost?"

I was stunned. I knew me about Go, but I didn’t know it, and I couldn’t tell lies in front of the emperor, so I clasped my fists and said, “Your Majesty, I know this chess at all!”

King Jing seemed very surprised. He looked at me carefully before saying, "I see that all the confidants around you, Deng Long, are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I thought you must be a chess master, but it turns out that you don't know how to do it!"

I was speechless. It doesn’t matter if my wife can play chess for me. If I didn’t say they can do it, I must know it.

Zhou Hua was still smart. Seeing my embarrassed look on my face, he quickly smiled and said, "Father, the Prime Minister and Brother Deng came to see you today. There must be something wrong. You should ask first. If there is something important, it would be bad if it is delayed!"

King Jing smiled and said, "I don't understand your thoughts yet. Don't you want to know if he came here today for his two thousand elite soldiers?" Then he turned his head and said, "Tell me, is it for the two thousand soldiers!"

Who said that the emperor of the Imperial Palace does not understand the affairs of the world? The emperor knew it was very fast? This happened in the morning. Now I am discussing the reason for my arrival with Zhou Ma. I didn’t want to hide it, so I nodded and said, “Yes, I came here for two thousand people!”

"You want me to issue an order to replace you with two thousand troops? Should I want the Imperial Guard or the Tiger Teeth Army?" King Jing looked at me with a smile, and Zhou Wu also turned his eyes to me, his bright eyes were like stars in the night sky.

"No!" I shook my head and said, "I did come today for the sake of two thousand soldiers and horses, but it was definitely not for the emperor to replace two thousand soldiers and horses. That would be too underestimated. Moreover, I am very satisfied with these two thousand soldiers and horses, so there is no need to replace them!"

"Didn't Father say that the two thousand men were all prisoners? Why are you still very satisfied?" Zhou Hua's face showed a little joy, but his eyes were full of curiosity: when he was playing chess this afternoon, he heard his father say that the Ministry of War gave the two thousand prisoners in front of him. At that time, he couldn't help but make a bet with his father, betting that he would definitely come back to find his father, but it was definitely not to replace the two thousand men! The reason why he dared to affirm was because based on his understanding of that person, according to his personality, no one would lose. Not to mention a group of prisoners, even if he gave him a group of cows, he would let these cows go to the battlefield.

I don’t know that I have such great ability in Zhou Ma’s eyes. Although I know that she might have asked questions knowingly, I can only answer honestly: “Princess, there is nothing wrong with these prisoners, but these people are better than ordinary soldiers! What I want on the battlefield are destiny, not humble gentlemen. Besides, don’t ask the source of heroes. After these people follow me, they are the soldiers of the Great Zhou. As for what their identities were before? I won’t ask, and there is no need to do that!"

The few people around him nodded after hearing this, and then King Jing asked, "Then tell me what purpose you are here today!"

I repeated my three requests in detail, and then quietly waited for his reply. Zhou Wu, who was standing beside him, also showed a meditative expression.

"You mean you want your army to become an imperial guard?" King Jing asked after thinking about it.

I shook my head and said, "No! I just said that in addition to me, you are the supreme commander of this army. At the same time, I also need to use this army to train according to my training method and equip the equipment in my mind. To ensure that these are going smoothly, I must ensure that this army is completely controlled by my hands. I don't want the minister to jump out and write about my books when the plan is halfway through, if it is not for me to stumbling up!"

"The equipment in your mind?" King Jing suddenly became interested and asked, "Then tell me what you think!"

This is what the emperor is, and the most concerned issues are the army.

I thought about it and felt that if he wanted him to agree with my idea, he would have to give him a reason to agree. So I decided to draw a full body armor according to my impression, so I said, "Yes! Then please equip me with some charcoal!"

Charcoal was quickly delivered to me, and I picked up the charcoal and cut it with the knife that came with the charcoal. King Jing and the other three came over. Zhou Wu stood beside me, and waves of faint fragrance came over. I quickly calmed down and drew on the paper seriously.

As the charcoal pen kept slashing on the paper, an armor gradually showed its appearance: the entire armor had almost no gap except the face, and it looked like a moving steel fortress.

The three of them gradually showed surprise. After I finished painting, King Jing couldn't wait to take the paper over and looked at it carefully, and his fingers began to tap the table at a certain rhythm. I looked at him quietly, waiting for his reply.

After a while, his hand suddenly slapped on the table and said, "Okay! OK! I never thought that armor could do this! It was so unexpected to me!"

When I saw that there was a show, I hurriedly said, "Then what Your Majesty meant was to agree."

"Not bad!" King Jing nodded, "But I have a requirement, that these armors must be made as fast as possible! Secondly, I also want to see if you can train these prisoners to me into an invincible master!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" I quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, then raised my head and said, "I have another request!"

"And?" King Jing wondered, and said, "Then tell me."

"According to Your Majesty's opinion, if these armors are successful, in addition to preparing my two thousand men, they will definitely be equipped with other troops. If the court wants to purchase such armor, I hope to hand over the exclusive production rights to the Fourth Movement Chamber of Commerce!" I quickly replied. I saw King Jing so interested just now. I guess if this armor is produced, the court must purchase a large amount, and at least 100,000 imperial guards will not be able to escape.

I am an official, but I am also a businessman. Everyone knows that the court's money is the best to make, and I came up with this armor, so it is impossible to give this opportunity to others in vain.

"Are you bargaining with me?" King Jing's face looked a little annoyed.

"I dare not!" I kowtowed quickly and said, "It's just that I think this armor was developed by my Fourth Economy Chamber of Commerce. If it is successful, it will be more experienced than some other workshops and can improve and ensure quality! And you also know that the usual purpose of the Fourth Economy Chamber of Commerce is to win by quality. Cast armor for the court, but it will never be adulterated!"

"Also, I am an official in the court. If there is any problem with the armor, the emperor can ask me. Even if I cut my head down then, I will never complain!"

Seeing that King Jing still did not respond, I was so cruel that I couldn't bear to let my child go and could not trap the wolf! Then I said: "If the emperor agrees, the cost of the development of this armor and the cost of the first two thousand sets will be the responsibility of the Chamber of Commerce, and I don't need a penny from the court! If it fails, the court will not lose any loss!"

Zhou Wu, who was on the side, said at this time: "Father, I think General Deng's method is feasible. If this armored Four-Road Chamber of Commerce can be made, they will have experience than anyone else. If it cannot be made, the court will not lose anything!"

Yang Linguang also said at this time: "I agree with the princess's opinion!"

Seeing that both of them said this, King Jing said, "Okay! I will agree to your opinion, but if you can't make such armor in three months, I'll ask you. Do you dare to sign a military order?"

"Dare!" I raised my head and said, "But the emperor also wants to establish a document, and it is unreasonable to say it!"

"What do you mean is that I will go back on my word?" King Jing said angrily.

"I don't dare!"

"Forget it, what else do you dare not?" He sighed slightly and said, "What's wrong with me now giving you a document?"

Unintentionally, I started another business, and it was a big business!
