Chapter 56: Causes
After lunch, Feng Lu just wiped his mouth with a big belly and left with oil and water, looking like Taijun who left contentedly after the sweep. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Later, under the escort of the board house officials, Feng Lu got on an ox cart and walked in the direction of Fuzhou City.
"Old Wu, can you be sure?"
Sitting on the ox cart, Feng Lu lay leisurely, and then looked at Lao Wu not far away and asked.
"Basically, it can be determined that it is a twenty-four-pounder cannon, although the shells have been cleared, but the big pits on the ground are not deceiving, I have seen the artillery a few times, I originally made it by the Ming Dynasty, but now I am afraid it will not work."
Old Wu shook his head and said to Feng Lu.
"Twenty-four pounder guns, how thick is the barrel of this cannon, can it be transported up the mountain?"
Feng Lu continued to ask.
"Transported up the mountain? Of course this is impossible, the artillery is very thick, the three cows can't pull it, it's still on the flat ground, I'm afraid it won't be able to go up the mountain! ”
Lao Wu continued to shake his head, with an impossible expression on his face.
"What do you see of Gao Wei?"
Feng Lu sat up and said cautiously to Lao Wu.
"It looks very honest, but the killing aura between his eyebrows can't be hidden, he should be born in a soldier's family, and he has a lot of rough calluses on his hands, some of them are made with weapons, some are made by other things, and there should be a great craft in his hands, such as blacksmithing. But the blacksmith's cocoon is not as thick as his, and I doubt he can make cannons! ”
Lao Wu quickly said what he was thinking.
"Sure enough, this Gao family is really not simple!"
Feng Lu nodded.
"My lord, you already know about this Gao family?"
The master looked at Feng Lu curiously and asked.
"I've heard of it. At the beginning, it was my cousin who asked someone to investigate, but I was shocked when I checked it, Gao Wei's identity is not simple, he is a baby! ”
Feng Lu said with a smile: "Originally, I didn't believe it, so I asked you to confirm, it seems that cousin he found out nine times out of ten." ”
"Oh, what is Master Zhang doing in the Gao family?"
The master looked at Feng Lu curiously, the people in the village generally know the roots, so there is no need to investigate at all, and after chatting a few words, you can find out the details of other people's families.
"My cousin is a troublesome spirit when he is a big boy, but what he is most afraid of when he becomes an adult is trouble. He's very careful, do you really think he'll take in a peasant doll to study with him without censoring it? ”
Feng Lu sneered: "He never makes a loss-making business. ”
"Master Wenqu Xing is far-sighted......"
The master praised.
"What kind of far-sighted man is he, if it weren't for so many things happening in the Gao family, he was tired of coming in, I was going to enter Beijing to take the exam next year, who knew that in order to protect him, I could only come to Fuzhou City as a magistrate, and it was also a county attached to the prefecture, and the head was the governor of Fuzhou!"
Feng Lu complained, the so-called prefect of the prefecture is the magistrate of the county where the state capital is located, and the magistrate here is the most unlucky, and the scope of jurisdiction is the same as that of the state capital.
"But my lord, you should pay attention to the potatoes, if they are really as high as Gao Zhong said, then they are good things for the benefit of the country and the people."
The master said to Feng Lu.
"Benefiting the country and the people?" Feng Lu smiled again: "Not necessarily, such a high-yield and delicious thing suddenly appeared, but it violated the interests of many people, not to mention far away, let's just talk about grain merchants, can they tolerate the appearance of this thing?" ”
"This thing works best in wartime!"
Lao Wu frowned, and finally spoke after a long time.
"That's right, this thing can also be developed in my southwest region, according to Gao Zhong's words, this thing is simple to plant, simple to maintain, and has a high yield. The situation in the southwestern mountains is the most suitable for it. ”
Feng Lu nodded.
"The world is not chaotic, Shu is chaotic first. But I recently heard that the reality in Hanzhong is in chaos, there has been a famine in Shaanxi, and the chaos in the world is gradually rising. ”
Master shook his head and glanced at Feng Lu thoughtfully.
"There is chaos, but the southwest Shu is peaceful, and it is strange that there is such a thing as potatoes in Fuzhou......"
Feng Lu smiled.
"I understand what the old man of the Zhang family means, so I keep Gao Wei for later use. If the world is really chaotic, my Shu is naturally the last line of defense of the Ming Dynasty, and with such a powerful character, we can have nothing to fear, and we don't have to worry about military disasters! ”
Lao Wu frowned, looked at Feng Lu and said.
After saying this, Lao Wu was also shocked in his heart, if this is really the case, is this Zhang family old man thinking about things too sinister, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, Vientiane has been renewed, how can the huge Ming Dynasty be chaotic.
"This is the last plan, but we still believe that the Holy One has the ability to handle the affairs of the day, and we can only believe in ......"
Sitting in the carriage, Feng Lu sighed.
