Chapter 189: Adult Affection (1)

People often have unsatisfactory things in life, even if they are people like Wu Zheng who have relived their lives, they still regret it, because life is full of choices, and people spend their lives in constant choices.

With so many choices, who can guarantee that they can choose the right one every time? All Wu Zheng also regretted it, regretting why he took out the gunpowder and went to open the mountain and build the road openly, so that everyone in the world knew that he had gunpowder in his hand.

At the same time as using gunpowder to open mountains and build roads, the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are also using it to make firecrackers to add some sesame oil money to the Taoist temple.

So when Wu Zheng was preparing to take out the gunpowder as a big killer weapon before, he thought like this, Rao's first impression is very important, as long as people think that gunpowder can only be used to open mountains and build roads, he is a civilian thing, rather than secretly using it, it is better to take it out openly, so that after a long time, others will not link themselves to threats to national security, and at that time he really needed gunpowder to do something for him, so he took it out and used it so openly.

But now he regretted it, and the first thing Qin Shen saw when he rode a good horse from Chengdu, hundreds of miles away, actually asked him for gunpowder.

This Qin Shen is a serious military person! Captain Zhaowu, who served as the right military guard, is far from being comparable to himself, an eight-rank martial arts officer, what is he asking for a fire bomb for? Could it be that there are still sappers in the right military guard who need it to open mountains and build roads?

"That Brother Qin, we haven't seen each other for a long time, you can't just ask me for something as soon as we meet! By the way, who the hell are you listening to, I have gunpowder in my hands? ”

When Qin Shen came to Shenmu Village, Wu Zheng happened to be in the dock under the north cliff to see the saw machine that had just been erected, a saw weighing more than 100 catties driven by water power, and a thousand catties of giant wood could be changed into the wood people wanted in less than an hour under such a water-driven saw.

When Wu Zheng got the news of Qin Shen's arrival, Qin Shen was already standing on the north cliff waiting for him, so Wu Zheng did not entertain him at home, but in an octagonal pavilion on the north cliff.

Here you can see the ever-flowing Qingshui River bank with lush trees, and the sound of striking iron and the sound of shipbuilding are endless, making people feel full of life everywhere. In the distance, you can overlook the mountains and mountains, and the green mountains and white clouds make people feel refreshed and happy.

It is one of the few good places to watch the scenery on Shenmu Mountain, and it is naturally a good place to entertain guests.

A pot of green tea and a dish of dried sweet potatoes are all that Wu Zheng used to entertain Qin Shen.

Qin Shen didn't go to eat the dried sweet potatoes he didn't know, although the golden dried sweet potatoes made people look very appetizing, but for something he had never seen before, as a military Rao, Qin Shen still subconsciously picked up the tea bowl, took a sip lightly, and did not praise the main Rao tea, but said with a smile: "Do you still use people with me?" Wu Zheng, when you were building this road, were there still few people who saw it? ”

"But what do you want gunpowder for? Even if it works, it shouldn't come to me! There are a lot of things in the Taoist temple, there are as many people as there are, and I have few people here, and it is really time-consuming and laborious to get some gunpowder, so I don't have time to do it! ”

Qin Shen smiled: "What else can I do, learn from you to build roads!" You don't know yet! This mountain road in your Shenmu Village is now in the mouth of outsiders, and the gods call it gods, listening to you dig out a road in this cliff is only three, the reason why it will be so fast is the power of gunpowder in Quannai. ”

"What's three, it's been used for more than a month, okay?" Hearing this, Wu Zheng's heart was finally relieved, no matter what way he wanted to use gunpowder to open the way in the Chengdu Plain, but after all, he didn't come to trouble himself.

Wu Zheng continued: "But if you want gunpowder, can you go to the Taoist temple, I don't believe that your Taoist priests in Chengdu can't make gunpowder, why do you want to go near and far, Baba ran to my Shenmu Village to ask for gunpowder, and Brother Qin is really not pretentious, I really can't spare manpower to make gunpowder for you now!" ”

Qin Shen smiled: "Then what should I do?" When I came out, I packed the tickets with my father-in-law, and if I couldn't transport the gunpowder back to my father, I wouldn't be able to explain it! ”

"I'm not, Taoist! Why don't you go to Cangyunguan in the north of Yuzhou to buy some? ”

Qin Shen shook his head and said: "It's useless, this is the secret of other people's Taoist temples, and they won't sell it, and if they want to sell it, it's also a cannon battle, it's okay to listen to it, forget about it!" Brother Wu, can't you think of a way? ”

"The method is not simple, since people only buy cannon sticks, you can learn more about cannon ambushes, peel off the cannons, take out the medicine, and make a big one, isn't it?"

"How can I do that, according to you, how many cannons do I have to buy? If the cost is too high, if you don't do it yourself, it won't necessarily ring, and it will be too cost-effective to delay the construction period. ”

"What do you mean, do you have to buy it from me?"

"Brother Wu, you can make a price! As long as you buy it cheaper than the cannon sticks in the Taoist temple, you have as much as you want, and I want as much as I want. ”

Wu Zheng touched his chin and pondered for a while before saying, "Are you sure people are not joking?" ”

Qin Shen smiled: "I came all the way from Chengdu Mansion on a fast horse, is it just to joke with you?" ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Okay then!" But how much do you really want? ”

"How many do you have?"

"I don't have one or two now, and I have to temporarily send someone to make it for you if you want."

"In that case, how about a thousand catties first?"

"A thousand pounds? Are you sure you're using it to build roads? ”

Qin Shen said: "It is not necessary to build roads, the main thing is to take stones to strengthen the city defense." You also know that there are not many mountains where we can mine stones, and if we follow the method of the older generation, the stones will be mined by boiling water, and the daylilies will be cold. ”

"Okay then! One tael of silver and a pound, the cannon battle is well done, and if you decide to want it, I will draw some manpower to make it for you. ”

"Then thank you Brother Wu, I don't know if the three can make it?"

"Three?" Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, three." ”

As soon as Wu Zheng's words fell, Qin Shen took out a pile of Jiaozi from his arms, handed it to Wu Zheng and said, "Brother Wu, this is a thousand taels of Jiaozi of Tongchang Firm, you can take it." ”

"That's the money, I haven't started making gunpowder yet?"

"Brother Wu's character, I rest assured, this money is the same if it is given early and late."

Wu Zheng doesn't know what the hell this thing is playing in his heart, but the pile of friends in front of him is all money! Don't give a thousand taels in vain.

Seeing that Wu Zheng had accepted the handover, Qin smiled and said, "Brother Wu Zheng has another uninvited invitation here, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

Wu Zheng, who was still a little confused, finally understood when he heard this sentence, this product came all the way to buy gunpowder is fake, and it is true to ask for something! Spending a thousand taels of silver to buy gunpowder from yourself is just a gift.

I knew this, I would have to sell this gunpowder more expensively, but now I think about it, it's really a loss.

Looking at Qin Shen's embarrassed expression, Wu Zheng really wanted to say to him: "If you don't know if you should talk about it, then don't talk about it." ”

But just now, he only got a thousand taels of silver, and he got him as an eight-grade loose official, so it seems a little difficult to refuse them directly. Forget it, let's see what this thing wants to do first!

So Wu Zheng said: "Brother Qin, you are polite!" Although we haven't known each other for too long, we can be regarded as acquaintances at first sight! Although there are some things that I may not be able to do, Brother Qin has something to say, but please be straight. ”

Qin Shen groaned and said, "Uh! I heard that you have a treasure here that can treat a scene miles away as a treasure, I don't know if there is such a thing? ”

Wu Zheng smiled slightly, and went around for the telescope.

The telescope was originally made for the military, and as for admiring the moon and watching the stars with his wife, it was purely a personal hobby.

Wu Zheng smiled: "Of course it's true, but you also want this thing?" ”

"Brother Wu, I won't go around the bend with you, this thing is of great use to my right martial guard, Brother Wu, you can make a price!"

Wu Zheng said: "Knowing that I have a clairvoyant mirror and gunpowder is not necessarily, people who know about me can count it with one palm, how do you know?" ”

"This ...... Brother Wu, how do I know if you are elsewhere, since this matter is true, then please ask Brother Wu to make a price! ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "I don't know if you don't, it must be Old Man Xia and you!" That old man's mouth is really big, and it has spread to your Chengdu Mansion so quickly. ”

"Wu Zheng said carefully!" Qin Shen pressed Wu Zheng's hand and said: "Old Xia is the teacher of His Majesty in the lower Wen Sect, if you call him so, the old man will definitely be guilty of disrespect to you if you let the imperial history know." ”

"Imperial History? You don't bluff me, I can't fight with the eight poles of the imperial history, can he control my head? ”

"Brother Wu, don't you forget, why are you also the Xuanjie captain of the eighth grade now, why can't the imperial history be responsible for supervising the hundred officials?"

"Alas! You don't, I really forgot. But don't worry, the old man won't care. By the way, you want a clairvoyant, right? ”

Qin Shen nodded and said, "Please ask Brother Wu to make a price!" ”

Wu Zheng nodded, but looked at the place where he had just hidden Jiaozi, and asked, "Brother Qin, how much silver do you have on you now?" ”

Qin Xiang couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to react and say, "Huh...... I don't have much silver on me, but I will definitely satisfy Brother Wu. ”

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "In that case, let's let you see my clairvoyant mirror first!" We'll talk about the price when you've seen it. ”

After finishing, Wu Zheng got up and invited Qin Shen to his home to see the telescope he made.

This is a binoculars, although the workmanship is not exquisite, but it is excellent, although the appearance of the black iron cast tube looks a little rough, it is not flat at all in the hand, in addition to the weight is also very handy, very suitable for the temperament of the army, but this telescope is specially tailored for the army.

When Wu Zheng took the telescope out of the box, Qin Shen's eyes couldn't move from it anymore...... 166 Reading Network
