The reason why Xiao Mo has not directly rejected Quan Zhian's request all along, but has fooled him around the bush is actually because of many concerns.
First, Quan Zhi'an represents the current imperial court, and Xiao Moke is not so bold as to think that he can ignore the Great Sui Imperial Court. Second, what Xiao Mo is most worried about is Quan Zhian himself.
Quan Zhi'an, as the chief eunuch of the palace, is also in charge of the Yulin Army, and his own status is also in the forefront of the Great Sui. The most important thing is that as a eunuch, he has no descendants, and he does not have to think about the future for future generations.
Therefore, in the Great Sui, many high-ranking officials dare not let go of things to do, or things that are full of concerns, for eunuchs like him, it is not a difficult thing.
Xiao Mo absolutely believes that in today's court, many dark things must be fully responsible for people like him.
For people like Quan Zhi'an, who don't have to worry about the cost of doing things, they are often unscrupulous people. Xiao Moke absolutely can't afford to offend.
However, because Quan Zhian is a eunuch, he is destined to have a fatal weakness, that is, all his actions are aimed at serving the emperor.
When Xiao Mo directly aimed the spearhead of heaven's punishment at His Majesty today, Quan Zhian really agreed to Xiao Mo's statement without the slightest hesitation.
In Quan Zhi'an's view, no matter whether what Xiao Mo said is true or not, he would rather believe what he has than what he doesn't. This kind of thing is not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
Xiao Mo heard Quan Zhi'an ask about the agreement. It took a long time in his mind before he spoke: "Mr. Quan, in fact, this agreement is not a physical object. But it's also very simple. The problem now is both materials and infrastructure. I don't have the ability to produce special fireworks for rain on a large scale, and it is not enough to supply the requirements of praying for rain in many places in the Great Sui.
It's just that this secret method involves heavenly punishment, and it really can't be offered to the imperial court. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with a good solution.
The method is that the imperial court will provide all the basic materials for making rain prayer fireworks, and then I will complete the final secret method preparation work.
However, considering that the amount of work is also quite large, it is not for me alone, or a few people in my restaurant can complete it in a short time.
So I thought of having the court come forward. Borrow the Wang family's workshop to accomplish this. Of course, the final preparation work must be completed by me personally, and neither the court nor the royal family will know the specific method of the secret method.
So in the end, I will bear the cause and effect. It's just that it involves the imperial court and the royal family, so it's not something I can decide hastily. As for this agreement, it is hoped that the imperial court can draw up an official document and establish a basis.
I just don't know what you think, Mr. Quan? ”
After saying this, Xiao Mo's heart was also empty.
The court is not what you say you can do. It's a **** society these days, let's not talk about whether it's useful to say it personally, in case your opinions anger the Great Sui Emperor. That's a chance to kill you at any moment.
What's more, Xiao Mo was simply fooling Quan Zhi'an from beginning to end, what secret method of praying for rain, and what matter of heavenly retribution, these are all things that Xiao Mo has trivialized.
Characters like Kwon Zhian are not stupid. Even if they can't see through it due to the limitations of the vision of the times, it is very likely that such a person can find problems from some extremely subtle details. Because at this time, Xiao Mo said in his heart that he was not nervous, it must be fake.
Quan Zhi'an listened to Xiao Mo's words very carefully and carefully, although there were some new words in them Quan Zhi'an really hadn't heard of them. But these are the little details. It did not prevent Quan Zhian from understanding what Xiao Mo meant.
Quan Zhi'an came to Xiao Mo here at the beginning and made up his mind to incorporate the secret method of praying for rain into the imperial court, because such a secret method against the sky. In Quan Zhian's view, except for the imperial court. No one deserves it. If Xiao Mo doesn't cooperate, Quan Zhian will use some extreme methods.
It's just that after listening to Xiao Mo's explanation, Quan Zhian also began to hesitate a little in his heart, although personally, he didn't believe in such a thing as a broken life at all. As long as everything involves the safety of His Majesty, Quan Zhian needs to be cautious and cautious, and think twice.
Although the secret method of praying for rain is extremely precious, it can only be used in times of drought.
In this era when the natural conditions are still good, the drought that can really affect the lives of the people can only be encountered once in many years.
From this point of view, the secret method of praying for rain does not have much practical effect on the imperial court, and it is not used at all in ordinary years. Therefore, Quan Zhi'an is of course giving priority to His Majesty's life and safety at this time.
Of course, in this year, except for Xiao Mo himself, no one knows the true use and power of gunpowder, and Quan Zhian must not know either, purely thinking that the effect of this gunpowder is only to appreciate and pray for rain. If Quan Zhi'an knew the true use of gunpowder and the benefits to the army, I am afraid that if he killed Xiao Mo, he would have to find a way to get this secret method.
And from Xiao Mo's words, Quan Zhian didn't hear anything wrong, except that the process was a little troublesome, the agreement that Xiao Mo said seemed to be a little too simple, no matter how you look at it, the court took a big advantage.
In Xiao Mo's agreement, the imperial court does not have to care about anything else except for providing the necessary basic materials. The workers and workshops were from the Wang family, and the secret method of preparation was provided by Xiao Mo. But the fireworks that were produced to pray for rain all belonged to the imperial court. In this way, no matter how you look at it, the imperial court will take a big advantage, and the two links of manpower and processing are equivalent to the imperial court does not need to spend a copper.
Of course, Quan Zhian will not refuse to agree to such a good thing. In the whole process that followed, Quan Zhian was only a little puzzled why Xiao Mo did this. Even if Xiao Mo is trying to show favor to the imperial court, there is no need to pull the Wang family, right? The production of this rain fireworks is not something that can be solved with a little salary, not to mention the need for workshops and a large number of workers.
No matter how good the relationship between the Wang family and Xiao Mo is, they will not be so stupid that they will contribute money in vain, but they will not be able to reap the benefits, right?
Not only Quan Zhian was very puzzled, but the old man Han on the side was also puzzled, even if he was unwilling to reveal the secret method, he would not pull the Wang family to show goodwill to the court like this.
Old man Han clearly knew that the special fireworks needed to solve the drought in many places in Dasui were not one or two, and it would take hundreds or even thousands of them to pray for rain at a time, and the drought covered so wide that there were not many hundreds of thousands.
With such a large amount, even if the basic materials are raised by the imperial court, how much does it cost to process them alone? Could it be that the Wang family is a fool? Will you agree to these agreements? (To be continued.) )
