Chapter 625: You Choose

Zhang San looked at these slaves and said, "Actually, this is a choice. ”

Zhang San frowned and said: "I told you before, you may not understand it very well, now take the repair of the Yellow River as an example, if the conscription is slowly repaired, the Yellow River will often burst, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people will die each time, and then a large area of land will be flooded, and the people will have no harvest, and they will starve to death." ”

Zhou Tong nodded, and Zhang San continued: "If the Han people are used, this time the river is built on this scale, two million families will not have strong labor, two million families may be hungry because of this, and there may be hundreds of thousands of Han people buried here on the river." ”

Zhang San sighed and said: "Including mining, road construction, wharf construction, coastal defense, farming, etc., these must always be done, and some hard work always has to die, so is it the dead Han themselves, or the death of these alien races?" It's an option. ”

Zhang San asked curiously, "If it were you, what would you choose?" ”

Zhou Tong looked at the slaves on the river embankment, took a deep breath, and sighed: "I don't know, maybe you're right." ”

Zhang San smiled and said: "These are nothing, do you know that there are rotten Confucians who persuade me to use the Han people to do these coolies, and then give these foreign foods, teach them to cultivate and weave, and turn them into kings, what kind of internal hegemony and external king, do you think it's ridiculous?" ”

Zhou Tong said angrily: "These bastard things, they are stupid to read, right?" ”

Zhang San smiled and continued: "Yes, it's like a family with robbers living around him, and he will go to the parents and children of the family to farm the land for the robbers, save the rations, and give them to the robbers, so that the robbers think that he is a good person, so that he can become a good person, so that he can become a look at him?" Isn't that stupid? ”

Zhou Tong nodded: "You can't listen to these bastards, if I run into them, I will have to use a big-eared scraper to whip him!" ”

Zhang San said with a smile: "It's not easy to smoke them, these people are so profound in the way of Confucius and Mencius, I have sent them to the island of New Guinea to teach the natives, I heard that they have learned to hunt ......." ”

Zhou Tong smiled, now the atmosphere has eased a lot, Zhou Tong thought about it and couldn't help but ask: "Wuji, I want to ask you why you didn't have three words to seal the king of Qi this time!" ”

The so-called three words are a kind of ritual thing, the emperor ascends the throne or becomes a king or something, in order to show modesty, he has to repeatedly push back several times, and the three words and three grants seem to be expected.

Zhang San directly omitted this process, there is a fart to do those false things, don't be if you don't want to be, don't be it, don't be it, when you do, it doesn't mean that you push back a few times, it shows how humble you are, you want to be expected, you are democratic, isn't it.

Of course, Zhou Tong asked this here, of course, not to ask why Zhang San was not modest, but to ask Zhang San why he was the king of Qi, Zhang San shook his head and asked Zhou Tong: "You should have heard the story of the yellow robe, right?" ”

Zhou Tong nodded, wanting to say something, but after all, the Zhao family had nothing to do with himself, so Zhou Tong didn't know how to argue with Zhang San, and Zhou Tong had never won many debates.

Zhang San continued: "At that time, Liangshan Kou had already broken through the outer and inner walls of Tokyo, and we eliminated Liangshan Kou, as long as we used a little force, then the Great Song Dynasty was within reach, and at that time, my subordinates persuaded me to replace the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhang San sighed and said: "At that time, if I insisted on going back to Ryukyu, I was afraid that without me, someone would rush into the Great Song Dynasty Palace and give me a yellow robe to add to my body, so I asked for a King of Qi on the grounds that the Great Song Dynasty couldn't get a military salary, one was to give his subordinates a reward, and the other was also to calm everyone's hearts!" ”

In fact, Zhang San's words are half-true and half-false, and some people did persuade Zhang San to be the emperor, but in fact, Zhang San himself was not ready, so he finally retreated to Shandong, but there is no loophole in Zhou Dong's whole set of lies at the moment.

Zhou Tong expressed another suspicion and asked: "I heard that this Liang Shankou uses the same weapons and training methods, and arranges the troops as yours?" Isn't it ...... you. ”

He shook his head helplessly and said: "You may not know, Liang Shankou just looks similar to us, but learning things is plausible, for example, they use a kind of mine car to attack the city, if we attack the city in the Ryukyus, either we will bury mines, or we will directly bombard them with cannons." ”

Zhang San motioned to his subordinates to bring a musket and said: "Look, this is the musket used by Liang Shankou, this kind of musket looks not much different from us to outsiders, but you have seen our gun, can you see how this gun compares with ours?" ”

The gun that Zhang San took out was a foreign trade version of the musket, this time Zhou Dong took the initiative to send it to the door, Zhang San simply spread the news through Zhou Dong, Zhou Tong took the gun and looked at it repeatedly and asked: "This gun is really different from what we use, so why don't you explain?" ”

Zhang San sighed and said: "I don't say anything to those who believe in me, they will believe it, and those who don't believe in me, even if I say it, they won't believe it." I don't want to bother with that. ”

Zhou Tong shook his head: "You can't say that, I still know a lot of friends in Tokyo, why don't I write to those friends and ask them to help you explain?" ”

Zhang San pretended to be happy and said: "This is the best, so I will send you ten of these guns, and you can also send them to those friends, so as to increase the convincing, I have seized more than 200,000 of these guns from Liangshan, and if the Great Song wants it, I will sell it to them at the price of twenty taels of silver each." ”

Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at Zhang San's words after listening to him, and Zhang San said embarrassedly: "You know, I have to give the wounded soldiers a beard, and I want to repair the Yellow River, I have a lot of money now, and I am short of money." ”

Zhou Tong felt that there was a problem there, but he didn't know what the problem was, and when he left, Gao Chong and Lu Cunxiao carried a box of guns and matching bullets to Zhou Tong and put them on the carriage, and the three of them went to Jinan.

Next, with the help of Zhou Dong, the Liangshan musket spread in the Great Song Dynasty, and after the experiment, it was found that this musket was not only faster than the arquebus of the Great Song Dynasty, but also a lot more convenient after using flint for ignition.

The first thing that Da Song thought of was imitation, but after calculating, it would take about 100 yuan to produce a rod by himself, because many parts require craftsmen to spend a lot of time to build, not to mention the barrel, which is scrapped without error for one shot a month.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty not only takes time to build by itself, but also wastes money, and the quality of others is not good, so the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers continue to insist on making their own products, and Zhang San has long expected this situation.

The urine nature of those corrupt officials, the corruption they have created, if you buy it, how can you have such an opportunity, but Zhang San also has his own way, that is, to give kickbacks to these corrupt officials.

Zhang San's production of such a gun cost only more than four taels of silver, so Zhang San left a few taels of silver for these corrupt officials, so the wind direction of the Great Song Dynasty immediately changed, and the corrupt officials talked about the benefits of firearms.
