Chapter 138: Happy Event
When Xiao Gang heard about Princess Peak, he immediately had an uneasy premonition. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hurriedly rushed to the study and found Xiao Daozong, he said worriedly: "Father, Qi Jinzhi made such a big move, although it will attract the attention of the emperor and Jinyiwei, but, but it will also cause trouble." β
He just wanted to use Qi Jinzhi's hand to blow up Princess Peak and create a major incident to contain the energy of Jinyiwei and Zhao Geng, so that they would no longer have time to track down Xiao Daozong and the 'military'.
In addition, Xiao Gang also wanted to use Jinyiwei's knife to force the Qi family, and it would be better if he could force the Qi family to switch to the camp of the 'military'.
Even if you can't, you must force the Qi family to rebel and split the military power of the imperial court!
As for killing the Jinyi Wei and the Qi Yao clan hiding in the princess peak, it is a favor for the 'palace people'.
The whole plan Xiao Gang thought about it again and again, and it was only after careful consideration that it was formulated.
He and his relatives have also repeatedly studied it, and there should be no loopholes.
And he only missed the calculation that Qi Jinzhi would be so popular.
Good fellow, a thousand pounds of explosives, and a few loud bangs flattened a mountain.
With such a big battle, how could Xiao Ye in the Imperial City tolerate it?!
Xiao Gang was worried that the emperor would do his best to investigate thoroughly in a fit of anger, and if something was found, wouldn't their Xiao family's situation be even worse?
Although he has great confidence in himself and in the 'military', he is vulnerable to any individual or organization in the face of the state apparatus.
Therefore, Xiao Gang felt that if his strength was not enough, he should not provoke the court if he could.
It's just that Qi Jinzhi is this fool, alas!
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Xiao Daozong glanced at Xiao Gang, who was full of entanglement, and said lightly: "It's okay." It's okay to make a big deal about it, Jinyiwei, Wucheng Soldiers and Horses and Shuntianfu are all dispatched to conduct rounds of investigations in the capital and suburban counties and towns. The officers and soldiers and the errand officers almost poured out of the nest, and their attention was all on the Princess Peak incident, and no one investigated our Xiao family anymore, which just gave us time to prepare. β
has decided to start an incident, and simply stirred up the water in the capital to make it more muddy, only in this way can they fish in troubled waters.
Qi Jinzhi's generosity is indeed unexpected, but it is not a bad thing at all.
Xiao Daozong secretly calculated to himself, and he found that with this matter in the way, their 'military' would be able to act more smoothly.
It also bought time to prepare for the uprising.
Let's make trouble, if you can make the capital restless and panicked, it will be even better!
Xiao Daozong pressed this topic and suddenly asked, "Has Master Xu been placed over there?" When can firearms be manufactured? β
Xiao Gang saw that his father didn't want to talk about it, and although he had some opinions, he still endured it.
After sorting out his thoughts, he replied respectfully: "It's all settled, it's in the cave behind Happy Villa." Yesterday, Master Xu had already led the craftsmen to start making porcelain thunder. Fortunately, my father had the foresight to prepare sufficient ingredients in advance. β
Alas, if Qi Jinzhi was blown up yesterday, the government must strictly control the market for gunpowder raw materials.
Things like saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur are now contraband. It's not that you can't buy it, from ancient times to the present, no matter what time it is, there is a black market.
But the problem is that things on the black market are too expensive.
On weekdays, the raw materials that can be matched for only a few hundred taels of silver can only be bought at several times the price today. In the process of purchasing, there is also a risk, which will attract Jinyiwei at every turn.
The number of firearms needed by the 'military' is very large, and the Xiao family is manufacturing it for the first time, even if there is an experienced master like Master Xu, there will inevitably be accidents and defective products.
As a result, more raw materials are consumed.
Xiao Daozong had been plotting for a long time, and after returning to Beijing after this transfer, he secretly ordered people to collect raw materials for the manufacture of firearms.
At that time, he was not sure if Xiao Gang could get the secret recipe for the Qi family's firearms. But he still prepared the raw materials for gunpowder, in order to directly prepare black powder once he could not get the secret recipe for firearms. Maybe the power and convenience are not as good as the Qi family's firearms, but they should also be usable.
Luckily, I have those!
Xiao Daozong was also secretly happy.
But on the face, he still made an unfathomable appearance, and nodded reservedly, "Very good, you continue to star, be sure to make enough firearms as soon as possible." β
Xiao Gang hurriedly responded, "Yes!" β
After saying this, Xiao Gang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Father, there is one more thing-"
Xiao Daozong frowned slightly, "What's the matter?" β
Xiao Gang said: "So that my father knows that there is not much money in the account." Lookβ"
Xiao Daozong saw that his son was embarrassed, and thought it was a big deal. He didn't want to be such a trivial matter as money, he waved his hand impatiently, "There is no money, just notify the Happy Villa and let them send some over." It's not a big deal, and it's worth your special return to me? β
There was a clear reprimand in the tone.
Xiao Gang shrunk his neck when he was scolded by his father, but thinking of the empty silver vault, he still stubbornly said: "Father, there is no silver money out of the villa, Wang Dongcheng said that if you want to ask for money again, unless you sell the villa, otherwise-"
Trying to do great things is not as simple as moving your mouth, but you still need money: recruiting troops and horses, casting weapons and armor, carrying food and grass, opening up joints in the DPRK and China, and bribing officials......
Everything requires a lot of silver, Rao is a happy villa is making money every day, and it can't bear the 'military's big demand for silver!
Not to mention the recent addition of the manufacture of firearms, which costs a lot of money every day.
Slowly, Wang Dong couldn't bear it, but Xiao Gang was in pain when he looked at it.
"Porcelain Lei needs so much silver? Isn't the gunpowder already ready, and the rest are just worthless accessories, and we're going to spend so much? β
Xiao Daozong listened to Xiao Gang's explanation, and his face was a little ugly.
He is a person who has achieved great things, but now he is distracted by a little yellow and white thing, he is really not irritable!
"Master Xu said that in addition to gunpowder, other accessories are needed to make porcelain thunder. Not to mention anything else, the porcelain bottle containing gunpowder alone needs to be specially customized, and the materials, craftsmanship and subsequent transportation and storage all require silver. β
Porcelain lei porcelain lei, a porcelain vase without wrapping, what is it called?
The porcelain vase is the first, in addition to a series of important things such as a lead, a sealing nut, etc.
And all of this costs money.
The Qi family can make firearms, in addition to the recipe they have, and more importantly, their family has money.
Since Qi Ziru, in the past sixty or seventy years, the successive heads of the Qi family have been on the battlefield. The war not only brought the Qi family meritorious service, but also brought a lot of wealth.
The southwest is wild, but those Yi tribes are not short of gold, silver and gems.
Conquer a stockade casually, and the Qi family army can gain countless gains.
After decades of accumulation, the wealth of the Qi family has already reached a point where the world cannot guess.
It is precisely because of this rich family wealth that the Qi family has the capital to develop and manufacture firearms year after year.
The case of the Qi family cannot be copied, and others need to pay too much if they want to learn.
Silver money, first of all!
After listening to his son's explanation, Xiao Daozong sat on the chair weakly, thought for a long time and said: "If you don't have money, then find a way, the living can't be suffocated by urine." There are many children under the command of the 'military', and there will always be one or two who can come up with a solution. β
Xiao Daozong was unspeakably depressed, the matter had reached the most critical time, and he was about to kick the door, but there was such a mistake, alas~~
Xiao Gang's eyes lit up, and he said to his father tentatively: "My son has a way-"
Xiao Daozong didn't have the patience to wait for Xiao Gang to sell Guanzi, so he directly interrupted him, "Say!" β
Xiao Gang pursed his mouth, endured the displeasure in his heart, and hurriedly said: "My son has a few friends, although he is not rich, but he also has some small property, and his son tried to borrow it, but he could not raise a certain amount of money." Alsoβ"
Due to inertia, Xiao Gang paused deliberately.
Xiao Daozong thought of something, and did not reprimand him for 'playing tricks', but asked: "Could it be that you haven't forgotten the Qi Gu clan?" β
Xiao Gang smiled, like a spring flower blooming, "Father, looking at the entire capital, only she is the most suitable." First, she is rich, very rich; secondly, I am not a stranger to her, and I do not need to spend any effort and time to get acquainted, but I can take her down with a little means; Third, I am really reluctant to give up the shadow guard in her hand. β
Xiao Daozong didn't nod, but he didn't rush to refute it, but looked thoughtful.
When Xiao Gang saw it, he was reassured, and he knew that his father would definitely not refuse such a temptation.
Don't ask him why he is eyeing Qi Gu's family, he doesn't have a very clear reason: maybe it's because he looks very dazzling at Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo's loving husband and wife, or maybe Gu Jialuo didn't respect him enough...... Anyway, no matter why, he's going to submit that woman!
ββ¦β¦ How sure are you? How long does it take to succeed? β
Xiao Daozong asked in a deep voice.
Time is running out, he must preemptively start an incident before Xiao Ye attacks him, otherwise, his family's life will not be guaranteed, and the 'military's decades of forbearance and operation will also be ruined.
"Sure, there are always seventy or eighty percent. As for how long, hehe, it only took me two months to take Qi Jinzhi, Qi Gu's family, one month is enough! β
Xiao Gang raised his chin slightly, revealing a handsome face, and spoke with absolute 'strength' - in terms of appearance, he threw Qi Jinzhi eight streets, and on the means of dealing with women, he threw Qi Jinzhi eighteen streets, as long as Qi Gu was not blind, she should know how to choose!
The most important thing is that Xiao Gang also has a big killing weapon. Qi Jinzhi is very obsessed with him, with this person here, he Xiao Gang wants to enter the Qi family, it couldn't be easier!
Princess Peak is gone, the Iron Threshold Nunnery no longer exists, Gu Jialuo seems to have been pulled out of a thorn in his heart, and the whole person is full of joy and vitality from the inside out.
Especially after receiving Qi Dabiao's reply, her mood became better and better.
"Do you really see clearly? It's Qi Yao's, sure? β
Through the screen, Gu Jialuo asked again and again.
Qi Dabiao stood bent down, listening to Gu Jialuo's questions over and over again, he was not annoyed, he was as serious as he was when he answered for the first time, "That's right, it's indeed her, just in the gravel pile at the bottom of the valley, the person was smashed to pieces, and he could barely make out his appearance." β
Qi Dabiao is the son of the Qi family, he grew up in the Qi family, and he has seen more than one grandmother of Dongqi.
Gu Jialuo let out a long sigh of relief, dead, this scourge is finally dead!
Looking back on the past, Gu Jialuo found that whether it was 'Gu Jialuo' or herself, many of the tragedies that happened to her were related to Yao Xiruo.
If Gu Jialuo had offended this cousin, then she deserved to be calculated and framed by her.
But the problem is that Gu Jialuo has never provoked her, on the contrary, 'Gu Jialuo' treats Yao Xiruo like a sister, but Yao Xiruo is trapped in the Iron Threshold Nunnery.
Subsequently, Gu Jialuo learned that the reason why Yao Xiruo targeted her was only because of jealousy and seeing that Gu Jialuo was favored and unbalanced.
"The little one originally planned to bring back the corpse of Yao Si's grandmother, but he met Zhao Geng, and in order not to leak his whereabouts, the little one had to lead the brothers back."
Qi Dabiao said cautiously. He knew the grievances between his eldest grandmother and the fourth grandmother next door. But if a man dies like a lamp goes out, all iniquity shall be written off.
Qi Yao's family is the fourth grandmother of the Qi family in the end, and for the sake of the word 'Qi', Qi Dabiao can't let her be in the wilderness. However, the situation waits for no one.
Gu Jialuo was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "She is a guilty body, and the saint and the Jinyi guard are all registered there, if the corpse is missing, Zhao Geng will definitely suspect it." If this ruins the uncle's plan, it will be too unworthy. Besides, you didn't deliberately abandon it, you really couldn't do anything, and I think it's providence. That's it, you don't see it! β
Qi Dabiao agreed and retreated.
Gu Jialuo sat alone in the hall in a daze.
"Grandma, Mother Song is here!" Ziwei came in and replied.
Song's mother is Song's companion and is most valued by Song. When she came to Qi's house, there must be something big.
Sure enough, I heard Mother Song say to Gu Jialuo with a happy face: "So that the second lady knows that our grandfather will come back in the next two days." β
Gu Jialuo was pleasantly surprised, and couldn't help but clasp his palms, "It's great that Grandfather has finally come back safely." β
Mother Song's chubby face was full of smiles, "There is another happy event, Second Miss, our Fourth Miss's family affair has been decided." β
Gu Jialuo's eyes widened, and he immediately burst into a heartfelt smile, "Sister Yao'er's marriage?" Which Toshihiko is set? β
Gu Yao is six years younger than her, just over fourteen this year. Gu Jialuo has always regarded her as a little sister, and never thought that Gu Yao had reached the age of talking about marriage.
"It is the second master of the Song family, three years older than the fourth lady, and now he has been admitted to the examination, and he has the style of the deceased Song master, and he is the most handsome and talented noble son. The prince personally looked at each other several times, and discussed with his wife again and again before deciding on him. β
Mother Song said happily.
She is a servant of the Song family, and the fourth lady can marry back to the Song family, which is a great joy for her relatives and relatives, and she is very happy.
Gu Jialuo nodded, "The Song family is a scholarly family, the family rules are strict, the door style is upright, and the aunt is the most kind, and it is a rare blessing for my sister to marry into the Song family." β
The Song family is Gu Jialuo's stepmother, and the Song family is also her foreign family.
Four years ago, King Yan rebelled, and the old man Song was killed by rebellious soldiers in the palace. Now the Song family is the eldest brother of the Song family, and he is currently the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
Although the Song family is not as beautiful as a few years ago, it has never fallen out of the circle of the official family.
It is Song Shilang's second son who is married to Gu Yao, and in terms of conditions alone, Gu Yao is a low marriage, but if you look at it comprehensively, it is a very suitable marriage.
Gu family, it is no longer suitable to marry Xungui.
