Chapter 268: Repentance

"Why do I think we miscalculated this time? Their ambitions are definitely more than that. ”

After sending off the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, the patriarch of the Zheng clan said with a gloomy face.

Although the official post is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, the officials in it are all people from within their seven major families, so here, they will not have any scruples when they speak.

"As long as you are not stupid, you can see the greed of these people."

The patriarch of the Wang clan said coldly, and a look of remorse appeared on his cheeks.

If they haven't done anything, they have already lost a million taels of silver, and they may not know how much they will lose in the future!

After all, their handle is still in the hands of those people.

"I regret not being at the beginning!"

"This is undoubtedly luring the wolf into the house!"

"Alas! I knew ...... earlier."

As soon as his words fell, the other patriarchs began to complain one after another.

If they didn't have the handle in the hands of these people, they wouldn't be threatened, now it's okay, they not only have to worry about Li Er, but also guard against these bastards.

"Everyone, don't be impatient! If it is possible to use one million taels to cause contradictions between the two sides, or the lives of these people, do you think that this money will be spent unjustly? ”

Seeing this scene, Li Lishan hurriedly spoke to appease.

If the plan hadn't started yet, and they had messed up first, then the news of their conspiracy would probably be about to surface.

He had all set up these plans, so in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, reassuring the crowd was the most important thing he needed to do at the moment.

"It makes sense, Zhao Yin, a bastard, has no royal law in his eyes at all, knowing that they are envoys of various countries, he dares to set such rules, which is simply a blatant slap in the face of all countries."

"And I also believe that there must still be a fire in their hearts, just now they have been holding back, presumably after they go back this time, the contradictions between each other will be more intense."

After hearing Li Lishan's words, the Lu clan patriarch nodded slowly, and then began to analyze the current situation.

"Maybe Zhao Yin will be angry and give them ...... directly!"

After Li Lishan glanced out of the door, he lowered his voice and gestured with his hand on his neck, "If the envoys of the four countries die here, do you say, will their countries ask for an explanation like Li Er?" ”

"What Brother Li said makes sense, if things really go according to your plan, this million taels of silver is really worth it, once the Three Kingdoms send troops, Li Er will inevitably be tired of coping, and when the time comes, we will use some means slightly, and today's losses will not be easily made up?"

After the patriarch of the Wang clan finished speaking with deep meaning, he immediately recalled the words of the envoys just now, and then said with a solemn face: "If they don't die today and come back to talk to us about the conditions again, how should we deal with it?" ”

If they don't think of a perfect solution to such a thing, they definitely can't feel at ease, and they don't want to live with the feeling of a steel knife floating around their necks.

"It's not a big deal, as long as we give them the manufacturing technology and pig iron, as for the follow-up processing, it is no longer under our control, even if the matter is exposed, we can claim to the outside world that it was sold to them, we are businessmen, of course, we are mainly interested, and it is not a war period now, it is not a traitor."

Li Lishan said confidently.

He believes that his remarks will definitely make others unable to find any fault.

"That's a brilliant plan! Then we might as well wait for the results! ”

……

"Congratulations to the colt, happy newlywed!"

Zhang Ming, who was in charge of the bookstore, and the treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion** came to the Horse Mansion with a generous gift.

Zhao Yin had the grace of knowing them, and also raised the status and salary of all the craftsmen who were in charge of the prison, so they took advantage of the wedding of the concubine to raise money and prepare a congratulatory gift for the concubine.

"Come on, what ...... to bring!"

Originally, Zhao Yin was just casually polite, thinking that the two of them were working boys who were working for a month, and they would not take out any valuables at all, but when he opened the gift list, he was speechless.

A small booklet actually records hundreds of precious items.

And, whether it is the material or the style, it is the best.

These two got rich?

How can you take out so many valuables at once?

He looked at the dozen or so large boxes behind the two of them, and then looked at the gift list in his hand, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed.

According to rough estimates, these things can be worth at least two or three hundred thousand!

"The items on this gift list are all the latest styles, the best materials, the most meticulous workmanship, is the wedding gift given to the horse by all the craftsmen of the prison and the ordnance supervisor, for this gift, they began to prepare a month in advance, for these materials, they ran all over Chang'an to buy!"

** pointed to the box behind him and said truthfully.

The craftsmen in the prison are highly skilled, and each of the items they produce is of great value.

"That's right, if it weren't for the horse to give us a chance, we would always have to live with that meager fortune, where can we have today's brocade clothes and food, so everyone is very grateful to the horse, just thinking that there will be a chance to repay you!"

Zhang Ming's attitude was sincere, with tears in his eyes.

Being able to meet a good master like Zhao Yin is simply a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes.

"Good! Since it's everyone's heart.,Then the horse will be accepted.,After going back.,Thank you on behalf of the horse! ”

Zhao Yin pretended to be polite, and happily put the gift list in his arms, "By the way, what is the tension about the ** and the red-clothed cannon that you asked you to study a few days ago?" ”

After returning from Li Er's last time, he used the universal search to find the drawings for making the artillery, and it has been sent to the ordnance superintendent, and now he doesn't know how the casting is.

"Coincidentally, there are just a few craftsmen in the prison who used to develop fireworks for the palace, but once there was an accident in the process of fireworks, His Majesty ordered the craftsman to be beheaded, and no more fireworks were allowed, so they had no use!"

"This time, you gave the colt a new formula, and it only took them two days to develop the **, and made the cannonball, and the red-coated cannon over there of the ordnance supervisor has also been cast!"

"Really?"

After listening to his report, Zhao Yin suddenly became interested.

Datang's technology is very backward, he thought it would take a long time to build artillery, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

It seems that it was the right decision to include the supervisor in the first place.

As long as this artillery comes out, it will surely sweep the world, and what Goguryeo and Baekje will bombard the past, and the hair will be gone.

"This morning, they have pulled the cannon out of the city, preparing to find an open space to do an experiment, calculate the time, and they should be back soon!"

When it comes to artillery, Zhang Ming's old face is like a chrysanthemum.

When he was about to be a prisoner, he was friends with **, and although he is now in charge of the bookstore, he often communicates with him about technical matters, so he knows the progress of ** and the red-coated cannon very well.

"Hmmm! Brother Zhang is right, but after all, we are developing artillery for the first time, and it is still unknown whether we can succeed! ”

**Scratch your head, don't dare to exaggerate.

"Okay, as long as the experiment is successful, I will notify you, first come to 10,000 doors, who dares to disagree when I see it?"

"Again, we need to build an arsenal to be responsible for the production of these materials, and the person in charge will be selected among the craftsmen who understand the best technology, and we must choose people who can convince the public."

"The most important point is that the factory must be built outside the city, away from the people, and the production and storage of the first class must be strictly in accordance with the requirements, and there must be no mistakes, understand?"

Although the artillery has made progress in research and development technology, which makes him very happy, he still gives a solemn order.

** is not a toy, a careless can lead to irreparable damage, so even if these craftsmen are impatient, he has to emphasize.

"Yes! The next official will do it. ”

** Bow down to receive the order, then turn around and walk away quickly.
