    "This is only temporary, those people are still studying"

    As Liu Deng spoke, he began to run directly behind the pillar next to him.

    "I think you deserve a beating!"

    Liu Qi could no longer care about the prince's manners. He had almost gritted his teeth and given this boy a large sum of copper coins just now.

    He even tricked his own uncle, this kid really deserves a beating!

    "Uncle! Listen to me, listen to me!"

    Liu Deng dodged and begged loudly for mercy.

    "If you can't tell me how ugly you are, I'll send you to Zongzheng Temple!"

    This kid is really too nimble. Liu Qi has been burying his head in papers all day, and now he really can't catch up with this kid.

    After chasing for such a short time, Liu Qi was already sweating on his forehead.

    "This thing is indeed still in the research stage, but haven't you seen it? There is no problem with its power and range. It's just that there is a problem with the casting process. As long as you try it for a while, it will always be solved.  There is a way, if iron can be used, the cost of this door can be controlled to about a thousand guan!"

    "Is this true?"

    If the cost can be controlled at around 1,000 yuan, the use value of this thing will be greatly increased.

    Although Liu Qi has never fought in a war personally, he still has this strategic vision.

    This thing, this is a weapon that can change the way war is fought!

    At a distance of three miles, no weapon can reach it. As long as there are enough, the enemy can be completely eliminated on the way to attack!

    "Of course I take it seriously. Although what I saw today is fake, uncle, think about it, if the fired projectiles really contain gunpowder, wouldn't they really explode?"

    It¡¯s just a painting, so Liu Deng can¡¯t be bothered by this.

    "Then how long do you think it will take to do what you said?"

    This pie is really big, so big that Liu Qi can't refuse it.

    "This is not necessarily the case. It depends on Your Highness"

    After listening to what Liu Qi said, Liu Deng immediately understood that there should be a solution to this matter.

    "What the hell? What does this matter have to do with me?"

    Liu Qi¡¯s eyes widened. He felt like this kid was plotting against him.

    "This to be honest with you, Your Highness, at this time, we have reached the final sprint stage, so the money is really burning. The money they spend every day is about 30,000 to 50,000 guan. The boy is really  I can¡¯t support it anymore"

    When Liu Deng said this, his face was full of embarrassment, and Liu Qi suddenly realized, "Damn, I've been talking about waiting for you here for a long time."

    "Three to fifty thousand guan every day, how is this possible? According to your calculation, they will have almost tens to three million guan in this month!"

    Although the imperial court has saved some money over the years, if it is spent this way, it will probably be burned out in a few months.

    Of course Liu Qi is not willing to be taken advantage of!

    "I also know that this is indeed a huge expense for the imperial court, but this matter has already reached a point. If we don't continue to this level, won't all the hard work done in the past be in vain?"

    Liu Deng had a heartbroken look on his face. If Liu Qi hadn't known what kind of virtue this boy had a long time ago, he might have been deceived by him now.

    "Stop, tell the truth if you have anything to say, don't beat around the bush here, let me tell you first, if you expect the imperial court to allocate millions of dollars to you every month, then don't even think about it!"

    As Liu Qi spoke, he blocked the largest door.

    Fortunately, Liu Deng didn't have much hope in this matter. This was just a matter of hunting rabbits with a straw, and he had the mentality of "hitting first if there is a date but not a date", so he had been arguing with Liu Qi here for so long.

    "If you don't have a million dollars, the imperial court must support it. Otherwise, the kid really can't bear it alone"

    "Then how much do you want?"

    Although the thing displayed today is just an experiment, this thing really made Liu Qi a little excited.

    ¡°It seems a bit unreasonable to say that the imperial court cannot make any money.

    Liu Qi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Liu Deng and asked.

    "I know that the imperial court is currently in financial difficulty, so I don't expect much from His Highness. What do you think of five hundred thousand guan a month?"

      As Liu Deng spoke, he stretched out a slap with a serious look on his face.

    "Half a million yuan, why don't you go and grab it?"

    Liu Qi rolled his eyes, this guy really dared to say that!

    Five hundred thousand guan of money is almost equivalent to one year's taxation of the entire city of Chang'an.

    It sounds like a lot, but there is only one Chang'an City in the world.

    "Your Highness, you are a bit unreasonable. Is it possible that after this thing is developed, the imperial court will not need it? How about I do it alone and the imperial court will purchase it at a price of 30,000 guan per cannon in the future?"

    It¡¯s just bargaining, Liu Deng has long been familiar with it.

    "Up to 150,000 yuan, do you want it if you love me?"

    Liu Qi rolled his eyes, this kid really dared to think about anything.

    He himself said just now that the future cost price will only be one thousand guan. If it is sold to the court for 30,000 guan, you might as well rob it.

    But he didn¡¯t know that he had completely fallen into Liu Deng¡¯s trap.

    "One hundred and fifty thousand, just one hundred and fifty thousand, is better than nothing! However, His Highness still needs to give the boy some convenience"

    Liu Deng really didn¡¯t expect that the imperial court would allocate 150,000 guan every month. This was really an unexpected surprise.

    But he still had a painful look on his face, as if he had suffered some great grievance.

    "This is something we can consider, but please tell us about it!"

    Liu Qi scratched his chin. Although Liu Deng was unreliable in his work, when it came to accounting, he generally would not cheat.

    Since he is burning so much money every month, the imperial court is enjoying the benefits and providing him with some conveniences is the proper meaning of the question.

    "I heard that there are some famous bell-casters in the palace. How about your highness temporarily lending them to me until the work is completed and then returning the jade to Zhao intact?"

    The Han family¡¯s elegant music is famous all over the world. As an important musical instrument in elegant music, chimes are indispensable.

    In this palace, there are hundreds of the best craftsmen, and these people are the treasures of the royal family.

    Liu Deng has already been salivating over them. After all, casting chimes actually has a lot in common with casting cannons.

    The biggest common point is that there must be no trachoma on the bell arm. Any slight trachoma will affect the tone of the bell.

    They have been doing this kind of business for generations, and they have naturally accumulated countless experiences. For Liu Deng, these talents are real treasures!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
