Chapter 55: Tong Guan takes the bait!
After Wu Ming gave Lu Zhishen a face-to-face lecture, he looked at Lu Zhishen's back who walked away quickly. Wu Ming knew that Lu Zhishen would offend Gao Yu after he went to save Lin Chong, so he would not be able to gain a foothold in Bianliang, Tokyo.
Wu Ming said with a little guilt: "Second brother, it's not that the eldest brother is ruthless, and the third brother will then pit you." It's just that today can't go on like this, there must be some change, and you and the third brother are both people in the change.
How can you grow without going through tribulations. With my ability, I can protect the safety of the two of you, but in this case, the future Great Song Dynasty will have two less fierce generals who dare to fight and kill. I hope you understand my painstaking efforts. ”
After the matter between Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong was over, Wu Ming decided to develop his next plan in Bianliang Mansion. Just when Wu Ming was about to take action, he received a report from his subordinates that the Grand Theater was completed.
The dwarves are worthy of the title of master architects, and it only took them a few days to build the Grand Theater perfectly according to Wu Ming's requirements, and the soldiers and civilians of Bianliang were amazed when they saw the beautiful and unique new buildings.
After seeing the completion of the Grand Theater, Wu Ming decided that it was time to promote steel and concrete, and to integrate the dwarf people into a part of the surface world in this era.
The reason why Wu Ming wanted to integrate the dwarven clan into a part of the surface world was also deliberate. Cement manufacturing is very simple, as long as the method is mastered, ordinary people in the Great Song Dynasty can produce it.
However, the manufacture of steel bars, in this era of underdeveloped industry, can only be hammered by hand by relying on the exquisite forging skills of the dwarves. Naturally, his own lineage guards could not be scattered to various places to do such things.
Then the only way to solve it was to rely on the export of labor services, and to extract a part of the dwarves of the underground world and integrate them into the various regions of the Great Song Dynasty.
After a long period of observation, Wu Ming found that most of the Song people in this era were tolerant and gentle, and they were also very receptive to foreign races. As long as it is not in the relationship between hostile countries, there will be no Song people who run out for no reason to provoke and oppress people of other races.
Therefore, Wu Ming has a lot of confidence in integrating the dwarves here, after all, although the dwarves are not tall, the combat power of both men and women, young and old, is not covered.
And although the dwarves are naturally reckless, they are peace-loving and never take the initiative to stir up trouble.
has strong strength, and clever technology, and never takes the initiative to cause trouble, such a person is a more popular existence no matter where he is placed.
During the period when the dwarves were building the building, in addition to moving bricks on Wu Ming's construction site, they also drank alcohol in the group of heroes gathering restaurants. At Wu Ming's behest, the drunken dwarves pretended to be drunk and boasted all over the world about how strong the materials they had built for Wu Ming's building.
Those who have good deeds do not believe it, and Wu Ming built a bunker in his impression with reinforced cement concrete in a vacant lot outside the city in time.
And posted a notice in the Gathering Restaurant that no matter who he used, no matter what weapon he used, as long as he could break through his newly built blockhouse, he would give 500,000 taels of silver.
And this time there is no time limit. This means that you can use weapons to attack this bunker non-stop, as long as you have enough physical strength, you will attack for three days and three nights in a row and no one will care about you.
If others do this, everyone will think that he is crazy, or he is bragging, what is the concept of 500,000 taels of silver, that is the treasury income of the Great Song Dynasty for half a year, and ordinary people who would be so losers.
But Wu Ming is different, now Wu Ming's nickname of the God of Wealth has spread all over the country, the entire Song Dynasty, from the dignitaries to the peddlers and pawns, who doesn't know Wu Ming.
Not to mention anything else, just the number of wine shops that have been opened all over the country is also measured in 100,000 taels of silver in a day. There was once a good person who said: Wu Ming accounts for eight points of the world's wealth, the court accounts for one point, the rest of the one point, and the world shares a total of one.
Wu Ming is so rich, Song Huizong is not unaware, but Song Huizong is obsessed with having fun and does not attach much importance to money, so he does not have greed for Wu Ming's wealth.
And the dignitaries and nobles who had thoughts about Wu Ming were all shaved without exception. As the saying goes: good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. At the behest of Wu Ming, Bai Suzhen's intelligence department spread this incident everywhere as a supernatural event.
This incident cast a veil of mystery over Wu Ming, and it further confirmed the folk rumors that Wu Ming was a heavenly immortal.
When Wu Ming's notice was posted, the entire Bianliang City was going crazy. At the gates of the city every day, there were people rushing out of the city with all kinds of weapons, and people dragging all kinds of weapons into the city with tired and disappointed faces.
Even the soldiers guarding the city at the city gate would find the guy who took advantage of it to go to Wu Ming's pillbox to cut a few knives or stab a few shots when they were not on duty.
This situation lasted for half a month, until the helpless people found that neither knives, guns, clubs, nor axes, hooks and forks could leave any traces on the walls of the bunker.
On this day, Wu Ming was resting in the group of heroes in the restaurant, and suddenly received a call from his subordinates outside the bunker: "The great eunuch Tong Guan, with a team of sergeants, is here with a catapult and a battering ram, and he wants to attack the bunker." ”
Wu Ming, who heard the news, laughed and said: "The main lord is finally here, I am almost bored to death when I wait, I thought you Tong Guan was not greedy." You don't dare to rob my property openly, so you will fight the idea of 500,000 taels of silver.
It's a pity, you still miscalculated, how can I not know the hardness of my bunker, don't say that these ancient siege equipment you brought with you are placed in the future generations, and modern weapons without a certain amount of firepower cannot destroy it. ”
The bait has been laid down for so long, and now there is finally a fish willing to bite the hook. How could Wu Ming let it go so easily, and immediately rushed towards the outside of the city. Don't ask me why Wu Ming doesn't ride a horse?
The perception of animals is much sharper than that of humans, Wu Ming has the blood of Jiaolong, Qilin, and Golden-winged Dapeng, which horse has the guts to camel Wu Ming? His subordinates once got Wu Ming a bloody horse that the current emperor can't get.
But as soon as Wu Ming approached the horse, the poor horse knelt down in fright. At that time, it was lying on the ground with feces and urine flowing together, and the huge horse's head was buried deep between the two strands.
Wu Ming didn't know how to make this difficult movement of this horse, anyway, what Wu Ming knew was that in the future, when he traveled by himself, he would either rely on manpower or mechanical force, and he would not be delusional about relying on animals.
Running to the bunker outside the city, Wu Ming looked at the angry Tong Guan still unbelieving in evil and attacking the bunker with a battering ram under the command, Wu Ming smiled.
Seeing that the big boss was coming, the subordinates who stayed here immediately ran forward to report to Wu Ming, and he was really taken aback when Tong Guan's dozen catapults flew together just now.
He was really afraid that the bunker would be smashed by a trebuchet, who knew that after the loud noise, the bunker did not move at all, and around the bunker was a scattered stone block.
Wu Ming watched with great interest as Tong Guan's men attacked the bunker with a battering ram, and the bunker didn't even fall dust, and couldn't help laughing.
Tong Guan, who heard the laughter, turned his head and saw that it was Wu Ming coming, so he said curtly: "Wu Caishen, don't blame Tong for being greedy, it's just that these sons and daughters under me have been tight recently, so they made this decision."
I don't know what kind of materials are used in this strange building of the God of Wealth, and how it is so hard and abnormal. The sons and daughters attacked for a long time, but they didn't even drop a single piece of the wall. ”
Wu Ming said: "Tong Jian Jun, if you are short of money, even if you open your mouth to Wu, why bother to work here." It's just 500,000 taels of silver, and Wu also sent it, so let's make friends. ”
When Tong Guan heard this, he immediately smiled with chrysanthemums on his face, and said loudly: "Wu Caishen, you're polite." I don't know if the God of Martial Arts can be useful to Tong? Tong Guan is also a cunning man, and he understands that there is no free lunch in the world.
Everyone's interests are traded, and he has nothing to be embarrassed about, today I received the 500,000 taels of silver, and I will also do it for you, and we will not owe each other afterwards.
