Doomsday Code

Chapter 289 Huidun's Painstaking Efforts

At this time, Huidun took advantage of this good opportunity and asked Chen Cheng whether he could start recruiting troops first.

"You have shown me this new weapon. Shouldn't the soldiers who will use it also start preparing it?"

Huidun asked Chen Cheng with a smile.

However, Chen Cheng still shook his head and said:

“There’s no rush. From the modification of the lathe to the production of the first batch of weapons, it will take at least a month.

It will take at least three months for Earl Xiaodun and the Knight Guards to get their weapons and form a new fighting force. I estimate that it will take at least half a year to compile training materials and so on. "

"And what's important right now is not these, what's important is your reputation in the capital, Count, which is as hot as fire.

If you just ask around for any news about the capital, you will know that you are now a hot figure in the capital's upper circles.

I don't know how much effort Her Royal Highness has put in for you here, I can only say that the time to propose to His Majesty the King to recruit troops must be after the heat has died down."

However, Huidun frowned and said:

"I understand what you said, but given the current situation, my brother and his men have already attacked me. Do I still need to be so cautious?"

Chen Cheng could naturally imagine Huidun's anxiety, but he said in a deep voice:

"Count, don't forget the Church.

Since Jamil was taken away, the church has not sent any new bishop-level figures. Does the count really think that the church has let you go?

I think the eldest prince and his men are trying to blockade Huidun City, and this may be supported by the church.

And now at this time we still have the energy to jump in front of them, do you think the church will take any strong measures?

And in this case, Count, do you think His Majesty will be biased towards you and save you from the church?"

Chen Cheng’s questions were very sharp.

Although many of them are Chen Cheng's guesses, his guesses are also well-founded.

Given his current fame, if the church really uses coercive measures, his father will definitely not stand up, otherwise it will clearly disrupt the political balance between the princes.

Just as Chen Cheng said, only when his reputation has cooled down and is no longer so eye-catching, would it be the right thing for him to do to ask his father to recruit troops.

By that time, the blockade chain of Kailan City built by the king's brother and others had been broken by Hausen and his men. At the same time, if the church took action, his father could save his life without breaking the balance.

After thinking about all these, Huidun feels very tired. This damn politics is the art of playing with people.

The Fatty and Xiao Dun, who had been watching from the side, saw Chen Cheng and Huidun discussing political matters for the first time. Neither of them expected that Chen Cheng not only provided Huidun with many development ideas, but was also Huidun's helper in politics.

Now the two of them truly realized how intelligent Chen Cheng was.

At the same time, Xiao Dun also figured out why he targeted Chen Cheng when he first arrived, and why Huidun was willing to give up his side to protect Chen Cheng.

This guy is a freak. Not only can he provide good guidance on territory development, but he can also make suggestions in political struggles. He is a versatile person.

It was not until this moment that Xiao Dun truly changed his stereotyped view of Chen Cheng. He would never look down on him again because of his slave status.

After a moment of silence, Huidun stood up and said to Chen Cheng:

"Thank you. Your reminder is right. I was a little impatient and impulsive. I will write to my mother and ask her not to publicize it too much."

Huidun also showed the demeanor of a leader at this time, standing up and thanking Chen Cheng.

If it were in the past, Chen Cheng might have really believed that Huidun was impulsive, but from what he learned about Huidun from Melinda and the others, and Huidun's attitude of first saying defeat and then victory in the development of firearms, Chen Cheng knew that Huidun was no longer a rash person.

Seeing the admiration on the faces of Xiao Dun and the other person beside him, Chen Cheng knew that Hui Dun did this on purpose, just to tell Xiao Dun indirectly so that Xiao Dun could tell him the person behind the scenes, who might be Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Tell them that Chen Cheng is very important to Huidun, and that Huidun also values Chen Cheng very much, and will listen to Chen Cheng's opinions even on the most important military establishment.

This is how he protected Chen Cheng.

To be honest, after thinking about all this, Chen Cheng was still very moved by what Huidun had done.

This also shows that I was not wrong about him, and he is not a political animal who is calculating to the core and has no feelings.

Huidun not only achieved his goal, but also listened to Chen Cheng's teachings once again. Now it was time for him to let Xiao Dun and the others leave and do their own things.

Before leaving, Xiao Dun asked:

"So do my brothers want to come back now?"

At this time, Xiao Dun looked at Chen Cheng, and Chen Cheng smiled and said:

"I really have to trouble the Earl and your brothers. Before the production plant is improved, I have to trouble you to watch over it.

Or wait for the Earl to assign someone to replace you, otherwise you still can't leave now."

Then Chen Cheng thought about it again and said:

"That's perfect. I'll have someone send you instructions on how to use the explosives later. You can take some explosives to the experimental site in the back to get familiar with their blasting.

This should be considered as the first combat study of the new weapon.”

Chen Cheng knew that in his previous life, playing with explosives and blasting was also a form of special operations training.

At this time, Huidun also spoke:

"Brown is right. It's a good idea for you to start with explosives."

At this time, the little fat man also said with a bitter face:

"This production process can be improved, but I don't have the money to buy raw materials."

To be honest, Chen Cheng really didn't notice this.

Huidun smiled and said:

"I'll buy all the explosives in your warehouse, and I'll buy all the soaps too. Bring me a detailed price list later and I'll have someone calculate the price for you."

Huidun has also been studying the economics works given by Chen Cheng during this period. He also knows that even if the business is just transferring things from one hand to the other, the money still has to be calculated.

Just as the little fat boy was about to leave excitedly, Huidun reminded him:

"Don't forget you still have to pay taxes."

But when it comes to paying taxes, the fat guy is not in such a good mood.

This unscrupulous businessman is like this, he just wants to be like Pixiu, eating and not vomiting.

In the tax proposal put forward by Chen Cheng, the tax on weapons would be heavily taxed.
