Chapter 192: Street Talk

The performances are wonderful, the value of the invitations to the thank-you party has skyrocketed, and too many dignitaries who are not bad for money want to see all seven performances, but unfortunately there are very few distinguished guests who can get a full set of seven invitations, absolutely no more than 30. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Of course, these thirty are all official eunuchs with real power in hand, and the British grandfather personally came to the door to send the invitation, these lords didn't care about it at the beginning, thinking that it was just a little song and song, and it was ridiculous and ridiculous that Zhang Zhiji needed to come to the door in person!

The face of the British public, the first performance, everyone who wants to come and doesn't want to come, they are all in the same mind, and they show a few words of greeting with the British public and think it's not interesting, so they go home and sleep.

Who knew that when the music sounded, the curtain was opened, and they were attracted, no one left the venue halfway, they even held back their urine, and a few big eunuchs couldn't hold it at all, and their crotches were wet.

The dignitaries and nobles later fell in love with such performances, drinking good wine and listening to good songs, and they found that their invitations turned out to be sought-after goods that they had nowhere to buy for hundreds of taels of silver, and their favorability for the great talents who organized the performances of the British Gonghe greatly increased.

At the gate of the 'Nine Heavens', many gold owners sent their families to block the invitation to buy at a high price, and only a handful of them could be bought, but there were still many people who did not give up and came to try their luck every day.

The people who can get the invitation letter are all dignitaries and local tyrants, who doesn't have money at home? Seeing that people were competing for it, they refused to give it even more, and in the end, a local tyrant bid 500 taels of silver was unsuccessful.

This local tyrant was lucky, and he got what he wanted when the show was about to start, because there was a scholar surnamed Cheng who gave him his own, and the one surnamed Cheng also entered without an invitation, and there was no way that people were old acquaintances with the owner of the Huang family.

It was the evening of April 30, and Cheng Da Da came to report how many craftsmen and masters who lived near Wang Gong's factory went to Huangjiawan Island throughout April, and Huang Sheng left him to go to the 'Nine Heavens' to drink and watch songs and dances.

When he came to the gate, he found that there was a local tyrant buying an invitation letter at a high price, so Huang Sheng took out one and gave it to Chengguanku, and told him with a smile that the five hundred taels of silver were used as his hard work these days.

Cheng Da has been impressed by the great talent, he is always down-to-earth in front of Huang Sheng, because he is smart, he finds that Lord Huang is smarter than him, so he will never be clever in front of smart people.

When Lord Huang gave him five hundred taels, he took it honestly, and he was not hypocritical, let alone shirked. Chengguanku has already gained fame, has the official position of Zhengbapin, and is now waiting for a vacancy in the capital, and there is news that he may go to Funing to be the county master.

Funing is not far south of Shanhaiguan, thirty miles from the sea, there is a port, it is too convenient to go to Juehua Island, if you are an official there, maybe you can follow the Huang family to get military merits!

The same year that Chengguanku told him a strange phenomenon, and now, somehow, the commanders of the major battalions of the Beijing Division became interested in gunpowder for a while, and they were all trying to hoard it.

The initiator of all this is, of course, Huang Sheng, the most serious herd mentality of the Chinese, and those civilian and military generals found that many people were digging out their minds to make gunpowder, and many people did not know why.

But no matter why, they found that gunpowder was getting more and more nervous, and they also used their connections to hoard a lot.

In this way, more and more people are joining the army of gunpowder hoarders, and most of them cannot explain their actions clearly.

Especially the Shenji Battalion, they have the most sufficient reasons. He said that the daily exercise consumed a lot of gunpowder, and because the movement was too great for fear of disturbing the people of Beijing, the exercise site was far away from Beijing, and it was no longer appropriate to receive gunpowder once every five days, and it was required to receive it once a month.

Everyone's swarm of them, and gunpowder became the most sought-after material in April.

Now the attention of Jinyi Weidong Factory is no longer completely staring at Huang Sheng and the nobles, but paying close attention to the civil and military generals who have received gunpowder and have not been transported out of Beijing.

The spies had big heads, and everyone couldn't figure out why gunpowder was so popular in April of the sixth year of the Apocalypse? Because after their investigation and evidence, many people just think that gunpowder may be nervous and take precautions, and there is no purpose at all.

The spies immediately felt that their network was not simple, and they secretly put some things in storage, hoping to make a little fortune when the gunpowder was tight.

Huang Sheng listened to the introduction of Chengguanku, and thought that he had already received a large amount of gunpowder to provoke Xungui, and artificially created an atmosphere where gunpowder was a strange commodity to live in, attracting more people to participate in hoarding.

In the past month, many masters of gunpowder in Wang Gong's factory have been taken away through pit abduction, which has directly affected the production of gunpowder, and now there should not be too much gunpowder, at least not 100 to 2 million catties as estimated by historians.

I still have the official document in my hand to collect gunpowder for the entire army under the command of Liaodong Jingluo, and tomorrow is the first day of the fifth month, and it is time to make a move.

At this time, 500,000 catties of gunpowder stocks were destroyed, and when the explosion occurred on the sixth day of May, the gunpowder depot of Wang Gongchang should have no inventory.

If it weren't a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, the explosion of Wang Gongchang might not have come, and even if the disaster still happened, the power should have been drastically reduced, right?

For a while, Huang Sheng was a little excited, and he had worked hard to plan, and he would see it in a few days, but he didn't know how it developed?

Early in the morning of May 1, Huang Sheng came to visit the British duke, and everyone in the mansion thought that the talented man was here to propose?

Everyone can't cry or laugh, where is the reason for their own reckless and reckless courtship, you should invite a weighty matchmaker to come together!

Zhang Weixian was also very strange, and after seeing his future son-in-law in the study, he suddenly realized that the talented man came to the door for official business!

The prospective son-in-law handled the affairs for Liaodong, and was responsible for receiving 500,000 catties of gunpowder from the gunpowder depot of Wang Gongchang and escorting it to Shanhaiguan.

The British public knows that their sons and daughters are listening outside the door, and nine times out of ten they are tricking Lord Huang Sheng to beg for him, and Zhang Weixian doesn't know how to get the supplies.

It is estimated that Lord Gao Di has also put a margin, if the talented man can receive 500,000 catties in full, he will definitely be able to get the benefits of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Everyone knows what is called layer by layer, and they all know that ten collars and nine are insufficient, and the great talent can sell 100,000 catties when he has 500,000 catties in his hands, and he will be happy when he hands over 400,000 catties of gunpowder to Liaodong.

Zhang Weixian thinks about things in the Ming officialdom, he knows that it costs a lot to support his family, and today he used his power to pull down his old face and accompany his prospective son-in-law on a trip, which is equivalent to helping Huang Sheng with more than 10,000 taels of silver.

The British duke happily agreed to Huang Sheng's request, ordered a team of family members, and took his son Zhang Zhiji to accompany Huang Sheng to the gunpowder depot of Wang Gongchang.

It was too bullish, and the British duke came forward to help Huang Sheng, the famous hero of the 'Fuzhou Victory', complete the task of collecting gunpowder for the Liaodong army.

Where else does anyone dare to chirp, let alone reach out, such a large number of shipments turned out to be full, probably the only time in decades.

The officials at all levels who managed the munitions depot of Wang Gongchang were all complaining, knowing that this was the case, they should have done some out of the warehouse first, and now they were received 500,000 catties by the Liaodong Economic Strategy, and their friends had to wait in line to receive it.

When the gunpowder arrived, Huang Sheng was not polite at all, he took 200,000 catties and transported them to Tianjin Wei by sea to send them to the newly repaired arsenal on Scorpion Island, and 300,000 catties were directly sent to Shanhaiguan for delivery, and asked the British to send someone to transport them out of Beijing immediately.

As for how much inventory Wang Gongchang still has, Huang Sheng didn't know at all, but judging from the faces of those officials, there should be little left.

In the evening, the Chengguan Library found out the news through the same year, and the inventory there has reached the bottom line, and these guaranteed stocks are prepared for the defense of the Beijing Division, and no one dares to move, I really don't know how much it is, and the Chengguan Library guesses that it should be between ten and three hundred thousand catties.

On May 3, the commodity fair began, and the people of Jingshi, who had been looking forward to it for more than a month, flocked to the gate of Guangqu.
