Chapter 677: Beyond the Sea

Did Shu Hongxuan really not know what that thing was in the first place?

Of course not, he made it himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But he was also telling the truth, there was indeed a ship of Fanbang merchants who came to Daxia back then, and his maternal grandfather did indeed trade with Fanbang merchants.

The clay pots were also bought from the merchants of Fanbang, but the difference was that the pots were not actually filled with gunpowder, but with fruit wine, or wine, to be exact.

He just poured the wine from the clay pot and used it to hold the gunpowder.

He had reconciled his grandfather with his words beforehand, and he believed that as long as his grandfather did not say anything, no one would doubt it.

Because except for what was in the clay pot was fake, everything he said was true.

Nine truths and one falsehood, a lie that people can't tell apart.

It was also fate, these gunpowders were made by him after knowing the true face of Shu Xiuhe and Mei's.

At that time, he thought that gunpowder would be his last strategy to kill Shu Xiuhe.

As a result, Shu Xiuhe was struck by lightning and died, and these gunpowder were useless, Shu Hongxuan originally wanted to make it never see the light of day, but he didn't know that Zhou Tingyu's file happened again.

Naturally, Shu Hongxuan thought of these six clay pots.

It's not that he doesn't want to give more Zhou Tingyu, but what he originally did was six - killing one Shu Xiuhe didn't need so much gunpowder.

He took out all the clay pots and gave them to Zhou Tingyu, hoping that he could be good at using this thing to complete the military order.

Zhou Tingyu did not disappoint him, and his exploits this time made people speechless.

But what followed was the origin of these clay pots.

Before he first took it out, he told Emperor Chengde about it, and Emperor Chengde didn't care about it at that time, in the eyes of people who had not seen the power of gunpowder, these clay pots were actually just clay pots.

But now it's different.

Shu Hongxuan couldn't have imagined that after Bo Mu mixed a kick, he would be able to wipe out the Turks!

He knew that Emperor Chengde would inevitably ask, and after Zhou Tingyu's class returned to the court, he couldn't avoid Emperor Chengde's questioning.

Fortunately, he arranged an almost perfect rhetoric back then.

Pushing the clay pot on the Panbang merchants, even if they wanted to, there was no way to find out - Fanbang was at least a sea away from here.

After listening to Shu Hongxuan's words, Emperor Chengde saw the frightened look on his face, and also sighed, "You, you, you are really blessed with a great life."

I heard Xiao Wu say that as long as there is a little spark in this thing, it can make it explode, if those six things accidentally get a little spark, not to mention your Guogong Mansion, it will be a deep pit in the whole of Upper Kyoto. ”

When he said this, Emperor Chengde himself was also afraid for a while, but fortunately this kind of thing did not happen, otherwise he would have become the first emperor in history to sit in his capital, but the capital became a deep pit.

Shu Hongxuan also had a happy face, "Yes, back then, the minister was not sensible, and he bought it when he saw it for fun, how did he know that the power would be so great." ”

"Rong Jing, you said that this thing was bought by Fanbang merchants, so there are a lot of such things in the hands of Fanbang merchants?"

Emperor Chengde did not suspect Shu Hongxuan of lying, he would definitely send someone to investigate later, if he found out that this was false, Shu Hongxuan would inevitably lose his trust, and no one would be stupid enough to be like this.

Second, he doesn't believe in such a terrifying weapon, Shu Hongxuan knows how to make it.

How old Shu Hongxuan is, if there are traces to follow, he can still doubt it, just like he found a way to exercise fine iron from ancient books, but this thing has never appeared before, if it is said that this thing was made by him, it is really unreasonable.

Shu Hongxuan's mind was spinning at high speed, he was trying to figure out what Emperor Chengde wanted to do under this question, and he knew that once his answer was different, it would most likely affect the emperor's judgment and thoughts.

"Yes, father-in-law, there were a lot of these clay pots on that Fanbang ship."

In the end, Shu Hongxuan chose this answer, he wanted to see what kind of reaction Emperor Chengde would have.

Emperor Chengde's face became serious, he paced with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he asked again: "Rong Jing, you were on the ship of the merchants of Fanbang at that time, what do you think of their ship?" ”

Shu Hongxuan muttered to himself in his heart, interesting.

"Better than ours, at least their ships can come across the sea, and our ......"

The unfinished meaning is fully revealed.

Emperor Chengde was silent, and then said to himself, "I don't know how big and far the country of Fanbang is. ”

Shu Hongxuan replied with a sigh of emotion: "According to those Fanbang merchants, their country will take at least a month to sail to arrive, and their country may not be as vast as our Great Xia, but they have many things that are better than ours, such as their weapons, we can't reach them." ”

Emperor Chengde thought of those clay pots and nodded in agreement.

"Moreover, they also said that there are many countries like them, but they are not as big as us, and their places are small.

I heard that their emperor encouraged them to sail and do business, let them see more of the country outside, and then bring back all the best goods of that country, let them record the customs and customs, and they also asked me about the customs of Bactria . ”

Back then, Shu Hongxuan really communicated with these Fanbang people about this topic, but the difference was that Fanbang praised Daxia with admiration - in fact, the development level of Fanbang people was not as good as Daxia, in addition to the better shipbuilding technology, the clothes on his body were still linen, and those gunpowder were just made up by Shu Hongxuan to throw the pot.

But Shu Hongxuan said this, of course, with his own intentions.

If it is said that the customs and customs are recorded, Emperor Chengde has not paid much attention to it, but the next words of Shu Hongxuan made him stare at it.

"I also secretly saw that the merchants of Fanbang went to buy our grain seeds in Great Xia, and also bought a lot of our kitchen knives, daggers, long swords, bows and arrows, etc."

Food and weapons, this is the most basic thing in a country, as an emperor, Emperor Chengde has no way not to think about it.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Chengde sighed, "What a fanbang!" Not only does he have such a powerful weapon, but he also has to spy on the level of weapons of other countries, and even collect grain seeds everywhere and record our customs, what does this want to do to our Great Xia? ”

Emperor Chengde thought of the Turks.

Compared with the Turks and Great Xia, the food and weapons are not as good, and a lot of knowledge of the Turks is still learned from Great Xia.

What if you compare Bactria with Fanbang?

In the eyes of Fanbang, how could Great Xia not be a barbarian country of the Turks?

During this period of time, the swelling heart that had risen because of the destruction of the Turks had all dissipated at this moment, and even Emperor Chengde had an unprecedented sense of urgency in his heart.

Beyond the sea, there are people who covet the land under his feet!
