Chapter 331: Cooperation
Li Ziyu looked at Ren Xiaohang and said, "Brother Ren, I know that you are for my good." But for now, that's all I can do. As for the cooperation you mentioned, I didn't say it, I'll ask when the Lei family comes to get gunpowder, or you can go to the Lei family to discuss with each other. ”
Ren Xiaohang said: "I know. But Xiaoyu, you listen to my advice, your secret recipe is indeed very dangerous in your hand. If it reaches the ears of the above, you are really in danger. ”
"Isn't it dangerous in your hands? I'm afraid it's more dangerous, right? I'm a little woman, and I'm a few orphans, so I can't be a threat, and I won't be noticeable. It's different in your hands, you can make a big move, I'm afraid you will be killed because of this, right? Li Ziyu analyzed carefully.
"Besides, as long as you don't say it, who will believe that I will have the gunpowder formula in my hands?"
Ren Xiaohang was silent for a while and said, "Now that the Ren family has been suspected, what does it mean to be suspected?" This can be seen from the fact that the uncle's request for additional troops was not accepted. Although the uncle is awake now, it will take a few days to completely detoxify. I'm worried that the upper side will attack the Ren family, and the whole family is in Beijing now. Grandfather meant that he didn't want to sit still, but had to find a way to save the family.
It's all my fault, it was I who told my grandfather about the grenade that made him want to have some weapons and back-up to protect the family.
Now we are almost torn apart from the above, and the only taboo on the top is not me, but my second uncle Ren Changshan. The second uncle is now in charge of 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yulin Town in the northwest, and the soldiers are strong and strong. Megatron Frontier. The second uncle has a very high prestige in the army, and he almost responds to every call.
This is also the reason why the Ren family let the upper side get rid of it quickly, plus there are always some people around the emperor who slander him. spared no effort to discredit the Ren family, and it was a matter of time before the emperor took over the Ren family.
I say this to make you realize the harsh reality. Even if it is a family like the Ren family, the emperor will find all kinds of excuses to eradicate it immediately. And how many of you orphans? It is not said that the companion is like a tiger, and what follows is likely to be the disaster of annihilation. ”
Li Ziyu listened and didn't speak for a long time.
She was thinking that in ancient times, there was really no personal safety. Imperial power reigns. No class, no matter how noble and powerful, is vulnerable to imperial power.
If the imperial power makes you die on the fifth watch, you will not be able to live until dawn. And there is no reason why you can't even die blindly. My grandfather is a case in point.
Maybe you're thinking too much about it. If you cooperate with the Ren family, at least you can lead the water to the east, and let the big tree of the Ren family block some rain, snow, wind and frost, swords and swords.
Now that the Ren family is in this situation, why don't you cooperate with him? At the very least, there are multiple forces to counteract. Death is slower, right?
After Li Ziyu figured it out. Said to Ren Xiaohang: "Okay! I agree to work with the Ren family, but you can't tell me who I am. My only condition is that I have the recipe in my own hands.
I know I should believe you, yes, I believe in you personally, but I don't believe in the whole Ren family. Only I have the recipe in my hands. My siblings and I will have a chance to live. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Even if it's the emperor, I won't say it. However, you are responsible for my safety and that of my siblings, especially my siblings, who are too young to know anything.
I don't want them to die in a daze, this is the biggest bottom line of my cooperation with your Ren family. If something happens to one of my siblings, I will think that your Ren family is not sincere, and then I will not be blamed if I break the contract. ”
"Okay, I promise you!" Ren Xiaohang solemnly promised.
The two discussed the details of the cooperation and reached a consensus.
In fact, it was to divide the Lei family into half of Li Ziyu's grenades and transfer them to the Ren family. However, in addition to the obligation to protect Li Ziyu's family, the Ren family also gave the Li family two percent of the shares in all industries.
Don't underestimate the two percent of the shares, the Ren family is rich and rivals the country, more than ten years of battlefield battles, and the wealth plundered on the battlefield may not be as rich as the Ren family.
I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why the emperor can't tolerate the Ren family, whoever is the emperor will not be willing to have a courtier who is richer than him, the emperor, right? This Jingtai Emperor will not be an exception.
At that time, the Ren family was allowed to dominate because there were no generals in the DPRK who could compete with the Liao army. After more than ten years of dedicated training, the emperor now has three generals in his hands, one is Lin Tianshu's uncle Lin Zhanjie, who is the champion of Jingtai's martial arts for seven years, and now commands 100,000 soldiers and horses in Zhili.
The other is Fu Yunzhang's cousin, who is the martial champion of Jingtai for ten years, and now guards Sanguan Town, commanding 100,000 soldiers and horses, and is also the general of the Zhengerpin auxiliary country personally appointed by the emperor.
There is also a person from the Meng family, Meng Qinggong, the nephew of Meng Diquan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who commands 100,000 soldiers and horses in the southwest border, and is the general of Zhaode who is the third product.
These three people were personally promoted by Emperor Jingtai, and they were loyal to the emperor, and the emperor trusted them very much.
It is precisely because of these three people that the emperor has confidence in his heart and wants to start cleaning up the Ren family.
However, after more than ten years of operation, the Ren family has long been incomparable, and the Ren family is not the Ouyang family. Ouyang Jingde had blind trust in the emperor, and couldn't bear to have his whole family in the capital killed by himself.
The outstanding sons of the Ren family have already been quietly transferred out of the capital by Ren Guozhong to Ren Changshan in Yulin Town in the northwest. The family's main industry has long been transformed into someone else's industry.
Although Ren Changshan had 50,000 soldiers and horses, he fought against the Turks all the year round, but won eight out of ten battles and captured many horses.
Ren Changshan recruited soldiers in the local area, and the conditions were favorable, and many children from poor families rushed to join the army. And the Ren family's strong financial resources are backed by Ren Changshan's soldiers and horses now more than 100,000.
Ren Changqing here, because it was close to the capital, the Ren family didn't want to be too eye-catching, so they didn't give financial support, so he cried poverty to the emperor.
Therefore, there will be a shortage of food and grass in the army. In the final analysis, the Ren family made two preparations, and Ren Changqing was responsible for attracting the emperor's attention to a bright chess move to cover Ren Changshan's dark chess.
The next day, Li Ziyu began to configure gunpowder, and Qi Xiaomei worked on the side. As soon as the configuration was completed, Wang Tiehammer came over with more than a dozen people.
Wang Tiehammer came over this time and brought 2,000 bows and arrows to be made, and the grenades had not been made in the past few days because there was no gunpowder. In the hurry that came over last night, Wang Tiezhu didn't take gunpowder from Li Ziyu.
Li Ziyu simply told Wang Tiezhu about cooperating with the Ren family, and asked him to talk to Lei Shi when he went back.
Wang Tiehammer didn't seem surprised at all, just nodded, and went back with gunpowder.
When Li Ziyu and Wang Tiehammer were talking, Qi Xiaomei went out under the pretext of finding Ren Xiaohang, but did not speak, but just shook her head.
Ren Xiaohang asked Qi Xiaomei to watch Li Ziyu's process of dispensing gunpowder, and at other times it was fine, Li Ziyu allowed Qi Xiaomei to watch. It's just that in the last link, Li Ziyu avoided Qi Xiaomei and didn't let her participate.
Ren Xiaohang secretly felt very ashamed, he kept saying that he would not covet the secret recipe, but he asked his subordinates to pay attention to the details of the configuration of gunpowder, what is the difference between this and stealing?
This girl is also a ghost, and she avoided Qi Xiaomei at a critical moment. Hehe, too, is it an ordinary boudoir woman that I fancie? Always be different. (To be continued.) )
