: Forced marriage

In front of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhuo Bufan got off the carriage and saw Zhou Tong strode toward him. There was only one person. Needless to say, the mission failed.

"Damn it, like a rabbit, let him run away." Zhou Tong said furiously, "The Rabbit of the Grass Tower failed to beat the rabbit.

"Well, it's okay, by the way, you rushed to Tiangongfang overnight and told them not to go out of the city to test it soon." Zhuo Bufan felt that this matter was probably not that simple. When he recalled the Jinyiwei Zhou Tong saw in Tiangongfang, someone really set his sights on him.

Could it be Princess Changping? Zhuo Bufan shook his head, and he would rather believe that this was not true.

After dinner with his parents, Zhuo Bufan did not slip away quickly, but instead sat down in the back hall with his parents who were used to a cup of tea after the meal.

Zhuo Yin asked strangely: "You are so well-behaved today. Don't ask your father for anything."

"Gao, it's really high." Zhuo Bufan quickly flattered and said with a smile: "Dad, there is indeed a problem. He needs his strong support and help!"

Zhuo Yin ignored the flattery, thought for a while, and said, "Tell me, how much money do you want."

"Yeah?" Zhuo Bufan really felt that his father was smart and said strangely: "How did you know I want money?"

"I thought you were smart, so you should be careful about the workshop that day. Don't be caught by someone. I support you with the firearms. How much does it take?"

Zhuo Bufan raised a thumb up and said happily: "It's easy to have a smart dad. In the early stage, it's about 500,000 taels."

"Pu", Zhuo Yin almost sprayed a sip of tea on Zhuo Bufan, and said in surprise: "500,000 taels? Do you think you are Zhou Zijin's wealth-lovers? Even if you stripped you naked, I can't get 500,000 taels of silver. Is it still the early stage, and the middle stage, and the late stage?"

Zhuo Bufan scratched his head in disappointment and said, "This...and, there are some..." It's not too early to have armor and heavy artillery.

"I want to ask, what kind of team are you going to build? Which team is 4,000 people, and 500,000 taels of silver are needed!" Zhuo Yin was really popular. This brat is not going to be a bun outside, but he can't use so much money even if he does that. It's enough to pack a few thousand.

"This, Dad, listen to me, I'm going to train them all into cavalry," Zhuo Bufan explained.

"Oh, that would require a lot of money, but it wouldn't cost 500,000 taels. You ask those four kids to think of some solutions." Zhuo Yin began to think about how to do the money.

"After speaking, these 500,000 taels do not include salary and horses."

Zhuo Yin almost spit out again and said, "That's a weapon? Don't tell me that the spear and big sword will cost 500,000 taels, even if they are equipped with long guns, tens of thousands of taels are enough!"

"Uh," Zhuo Bufan raised his thumb again, and laughed: "Dad is wise, he is the one who has a long gun, a short gun, and a narrow blade."

Zhuo Yin said: "Where are you lying to me? My best long gun in Dahua costs at most ten taels of silver. If you count those two, one hundred thousand taels should be enough. What's going on with 500,000 taels?"

"Dad, Dahua's best long gun is not as good as our long gun, thirty taels per one."

"You loser, I thought you had two sets of soldiers, so I just did it. Not to mention the price. Do you want them to use firearms? What about crossbows? What about spearmen? If it is a fast horse from the Tartars, you don't know how they died. Don't think that I don't understand these principles without taking soldiers!"

"Hehe, dad, if these four thousand cavalrymen have a firing rate of 60 shots per piece, a long gun with a range of 800 steps, and a bombardment of heavy artillery, how many soldiers do you think the Tartars will use to rush to our camp?" Zhuo Bufan said in a very bad way.

"What?" Zhuo Yin immediately stood up and widened his eyes. Even with his talent, he still couldn't help but count. As he calculated, he couldn't count. In front of him, there seemed to be a pellet of a sky full of bullets as dense as a swarm of locusts. Four thousand musketeers, eight hundred steps, and sixty shots. They can be fired ten times when the cavalry rushed through this distance. What's more, the Zhuo family army is a cavalry... How many of the Tartar cavalry are in total, 50,000? 100,000? 200,000? Oh my God...

"So, Dad, do you think this silver is worth it?" Zhuo Bufan didn't say that with this army in his hand, it was not impossible to be a powerful man. Of course, he also knew that just one army alone might not be able to conquer the world. Moreover, it is not easy to build such a army, it is all white silver.

Zhuo Yin knew that his son had spent some money, but this kind of thing would not be out of order. After a while, he suddenly said firmly: "There will be an emergency of 100,000 taels within ten days. If there is no problem, work hard to start. I will slowly find a way for the rest."

Even if this matter comes to an end, Zhuo Bufan knows that his family’s fortune is to give all his 100,000 taels. This is because my father has to go with the flow and do some responses. Otherwise, the 100,000 taels will not be able to get it. In comparison, my father is already quite honest, and this is the atmosphere.

Song Jia just asked about these things. Seeing that the father and the other two had finished talking about the matter, he immediately spoke anxiously, "You are busy with yours, but you still have to do this marriage quickly."

Zhuo Bufan was stunned and said in surprise: "What, what marriage? Mom, you finally have a favor and ask your father to take a concubine?"

"He dares?" Song Jia glared and said, "Don't interrupt me. My mother has taken care of the marriage I told you last time. That girl is so handsome..."

"Stop!" Zhuo Bufan called out: "Mom, I'm so busy recently, so how can I get married? Let's talk about it." Since the last time Princess Changping was interested in recruiting a prince, Zhuo Bufan was particularly disgusted with this kind of marriage that did not consider his feelings.

"Huh? Didn't you agree to it last time? You agreed. Mom doesn't care. This matter is decided like this. Your father and I have taken good care of the days. We will marry me in three days. You will stay at home in the past few days and you will not be allowed to go anywhere." Zhuo Bufan's temperament is the best person to be a mother. If he is a little unhappy, he will really apply oil to your feet. Since this child today shows his unwillingness, he will really have to take it seriously.

"Ah? How come that happens? Tiangongfang can't live without me!" Zhuo Bufan was really anxious.

Zhuo Yin said, "Why can't you leave it? You are not those firearm experts. I know that you have poached several famous masters in Dahua. If you have anything to ask Zhou Tong and Zhuo Er to do it for you, this matter is settled. Go back to your own room. Tell you, I have said hello to the guards, so don't think about it this time. It's time to slap yourself." Last time I got Princess Changping back, I can get two concubines in the palace without restraint.

Zhuo Bufan was stunned here. Somewhere in the capital, there was a house that was much simpler than the prime minister's mansion.
