Chapter 181 Canon
August 15, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The city of Jiangzhou is brightly lit, and the tea shops along the street have hung lanterns.
There are so many small merchants and vendors who put river lanterns and guess lantern riddles, and they greet the few customers on the street with all their might, fantasizing that they can be patronized a little, and they will not let all the goods they prepare for the festival be smashed in their hands.
"This damn thief! It's just a matter of causing trouble at this time! Ay... It looks like it's going to be lost this year! ”
A few nearby vendors sighed, shook their heads at each other, and went back to their stalls to pack up their things, ready to get up and go home.
The officials all over the street carried knives and locks, and every time they saw a person, they would step forward to interrogate them carefully, and they also teased the big girl and the little daughter-in-law with their feet. It made people who wanted to go out and play lose interest, and cursed in their hearts and went home.
Li Shouzhong was surrounded by his subordinates and stood on the city tower, looking at the street with a serious face, which should have been lively, but was actually very deserted.
"My lord! On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, people are forbidden to go out to play on the street, I am afraid that they will be resented by the people! ”
Li Shouzhong waved his hand, signaling that his subordinates didn't need to say anything. He is a shrewd and capable official, although the warehouse exploded, but he saw that this was the enemy's means, and he wanted to destroy the corpse, but he wanted to cover it up!
"The gunpowder must have been stolen by the thieves!" Li Shouzhong said to his subordinates: "The spy we caught is just a small fish!" There must still be bandits lurking in Jiangzhou City! With so much gunpowder, if it exploded today, it would be a catastrophe! As an official, it is our duty to benefit the people, as long as we can make them suffer less, what do we have to do with some curses? ”
Everyone was silent, only Li Shouzhong looked at the city with a firm gaze!
The secret realm of Lushan, the great canon of Mingjiao.
Bu Xiu originally thought that the so-called 'grand ceremony' should be full of lights and drums all over the mountain.
But the reality is very different, talking about lanterns, even the torches are not lit more, and the deserted ones are more pitiful than the cemetery.
"What is this called! There is not even a celebratory atmosphere! He complained that he was a person who liked to be lively, especially when there were a lot of people.
Liu Futong smiled: "Don't be disappointed, there is no celebratory atmosphere here, but there is a killing machine step by step!" ”
He pouted: "I want to kill chickens!" ”
He is now a man with a horse's hoof disease on a happy event, and his heart is like eating a magpie's fart, and he is so happy!
Since snatching iron ingots and powder kegs in Jiangzhou City, he has made fire guns at a speed that is too long for 10,000 years.
At first, he was still worried about Liu Futong's ability, and after smelting the steel, he recited the Buddha vigorously in his heart, hoping that God would bless him!
Of course, Liu Futong did not disappoint him, and smoothly manipulated the molten iron to change its form.
It was much easier for him to manipulate molten iron than it was to manipulate iron sand.
The fire pipe, medicine pot, trigger and other parts are all doing well, except when it comes to the spring plate, there is a problem.
The reeds made by Liu Futong are too soft to bear the force at all, and it will be difficult to bounce back to their original position every time they are squeezed.
Bu Xiu frowned, and took out a reed from the sink and tried it, but it was still very soft: "Where is this steel, how does it look like a noodle." ”
Zhou Dian picked up the reed and tried it: "Master, this thing really doesn't seem to be steel, but iron, pure iron!" ”
He said, "I don't understand this. Steel? Iron? What's the difference, aren't these two the same thing? ”
Zhou Dian smiled dumbly: "A thing is a thing, but steel is one more thing than iron." ”
He hurriedly said: "Old Zhou! Whether it's east, west, north or south, you say, don't sell it to me! ”
Zhou Dian said: "Steel has a higher carbon content than iron! ”
He seemed a little impressed when he said this, but he couldn't remember what it meant, so he said, "Then do you know how to get it?" ”
Zhou Dian said cautiously: "I've just heard of it, but I really haven't operated it... So..."
He waved his hand endlessly: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb!" It doesn't matter if you haven't done it! Let's put it to the test! What do you want to do, just say it! ”
Zhou Dian didn't ink, and said directly to Mu Ying: "Is there charcoal in this cave?" ”
Mu Ying said: "Yes! There is a charcoal house next to this Danfang! ”
Zhou Dian clapped his hands and laughed: "God help me!" ”
According to Zhou Dian's instructions, Mu Ying twisted the charcoal into powder and sprinkled it in the molten iron, and then Liu Futong used his divine power to mix the toner evenly.
The reeds that came out after everything was in place were really elastic!
He said to Mu Ying: "Big nephew! It's up to you! ”
On the mountain road of the secret realm, I kept recalling the events of the Immortal Skull Cave, and I was refreshed. said to Liu Futong beside him: "Brother Liu, I suddenly found a way to make money!" ”
Liu Futong said curiously: "The head still knows how to do business?" ”
Non-stop Niu B coaxed: "That's a must! Brother, why wouldn't you?! ”
Liu Futong had long been accustomed to the confidence of the endless obsession, so he asked: "But I don't know, what is the business that the shopkeeper is talking about?" ”
He kept frowning and said, "Arms!" ”
Liu Futong frowned and pondered: "But I don't know, what is the munition?" ”
Only then did he realize that there was no word for arms in this era, and hurriedly explained: "It's just selling weapons!" Swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, we sell them all! The most profitable way to make a living is to sell firecrackers! When the time comes to open a shop, it must be a prosperous business to reach the four seas, and the wealth is prosperous to reach the three rivers! At that time, we must be rich and rival the country! What do you think? Do you want to do it together? ”
Liu Futong almost bit his tongue and sold weapons? Still open a store? Then you are really a birthday boy hanged old, and you think your life is long!
You must know how strict the imperial court's control of civilian weapons is:
The "Yuan Dian Chapter" records that it is forbidden to cut off the people, and it is forbidden to carry bows and arrows and hold weapons. Violators will be put to death!
A: Whoever owns the whole deputy, shall be put to death; If you don't become a deputy, you will fight fifty-seven times and be imprisoned for one year; The scattered armor pieces are unbearable to hang the enemy, and they will be flogged thirty-seven times.
Guns or crossbows: Anyone who owns ten pieces shall be put to death; five or more pieces, ninety-seven strokes, three years; Seventy-seven strokes of the rod for two years; Unbearable, fifty-seven strokes of the rod.
Bow and arrow: Whoever owns the Ten Vices, put to death! 5 or more pairs, 97 strokes of the rod, three years; Seventy-seven strokes of the rod for four or less strokes, two years' imprisonment; If you don't make a pair, you will get fifty-seven strokes of the rod.
Under such a strict punishment, if you open a weapon shop, even if you open a butcher shop that kills pigs, you have to wonder if the knife in your hand is forbidden!
Liu Futong said with a wry smile: "The imperial court has extremely strict control over weapons, if we sell weapons, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save our lives!" ”
He kept saying: "Brother Liu, I don't think you look like a real businessman!" Do you still want to get a business license for smuggling weapons? Isn't that a sincere search for death? Of course, the more secretive we are, the better! ”
Liu Futong asked: "But I don't know what this business license is?" ”
Seeing that he couldn't grasp the point, he said helplessly: "The business license is a certificate for enthronement in the government and allowing the store to be opened!" That's not the point, though! The point is that we have to make it secretly, sell it secretly! Make a fortune with a muffled voice! ”
Liu Futong has been in business for generations, and naturally he is not a law-abiding businessman, he understands the relationship between risk and return, and nodded and said: "In this way, it is a good business!" ”
Constantly excited, he whispered, "Yes! Let's be the world's most powerful weapons supplier, provide weapons to the major forces, and then use this to control the armed forces everywhere, and then, the world is not ours! ”
Liu Futong was shocked, this endless ambition is really not small! Using weapons to control the resistance forces of all sides, and then achieving their goal of winning the Ninth Five-Year Plan, this route is indeed feasible!
From this point of view, the reason why Bu Endless unconditionally provided the Maitreya Sect with fire guns must also be for his ultimate purpose!
First broke away from the Ming Sect and established its own sect, and then united the Maitreya Sect and the White Lotus Sect through the Fire Hammer, and in the future, it will control the resistance forces of all parties with weapons! The ambition of this monk is definitely not comparable to the leaders of the three religions, and even surpasses Genghis Khan!
Everyone walked while talking, and in a blink of an eye they came to a mountain pass, where the layers of forests were covered and the moonlight was like a flower. After a few detours in the sheep intestine path, I came to a steep wall.
The disciple sent by Han Shantong to guide the way respectfully said, "Master Buxiu, we have arrived at the place of celebration!" ”
