Chapter 3037 Explosion
Chen Sheng naturally understood the pressure of Fusu. Although as the eldest son. But Fusu did not have a prominent matriarchal help. They do not have strong financial resources to support and maintain their own power. Compare it with Childe Gao. It's already much inferior. And the other royal brothers. Their mothers were former princesses of the world. Although the Six Kingdoms have perished. But the kings of these kingdoms have lost power. But there is still a lot of wealth. Support the prince with his own bloodline to ascend to the throne. There is still plenty of money.
"The pressure is only temporary." Chen Sheng was relieved: "Now. I am able to provide at least 2,000 gold per month. If you need more. Tell me. I can figure it out." Chen Sheng's so-called way. It's nothing more than borrowing it from Ling Suyun's family.
for several years. Chen Sheng had already borrowed a lot of money from the Ling family. Fortunately, the income has been good in recent months. Plus allotted some new factory shares. before the debt was cleared. Although Ling Suyun told Chen Sheng. The money that the Ling family financed him did not have to be repaid. But as a man. Chen Sheng always felt that this was the act of eating soft rice. To defend their dignity. Categorically rejected this kindness.
Fusu is also welcome. Said: "Thank you very much." As the eldest son. Fusu can only receive a quota of five hundred gold from the Inner Government every month. Five hundred gold for ordinary people. It's already a huge amount of money. But for Fusu. But it can be said that it is barely enough to spend. The daily expenses of the mansion, the salaries of the servants. These are huge overheads. Besides. Fusu occasionally had to hold banquets to entertain guests, etc. And the money flowed away like water.
Because the expenses are only enough to survive. Fusu will have no money left to buy industry. Expand your own financial resources. Chen Sheng knows. Under the name of Fusu. There are only 300 acres of land. Besides. There is no excess property. Chen Sheng couldn't even believe it. Fusu, who has lived such an embarrassing life. How to save such a fortune. Buy so much land.
Of course. Chen Sheng also knows. If Fusu is willing to accept the grant. There are a lot of people in the world who give him money to 'spend', such as Childe Gao. The Longxi Wu family sponsors his money every year. No less than 100,000 gold. Fully support Gongzi Gao to throw a lot of money in the court. Woo courtiers. But Fusu is definitely a smart guy. He knew that accepting these riches came at a cost. When the contemporary price is higher than the value. Fusu categorically chose to refuse.
Fusu is willing to accept Chen Sheng's funding. Obviously, he regarded Chen Sheng as the core figure of his faction.
"Your workshop is so well guarded. What is it for?" After the two 'crossed' talked about the recent situation in the imperial court. Fusu finally couldn't help it. Ask about Chen Sheng. Fusu is aware of Chen Sheng's ability to make money. I also visited Chen Sheng's glass factory. But that huge profiteering factory. The guards are nowhere near as tight as they are here.
"The row of buildings on the left. It's a 'pharmaceutical' research institute." Chen Sheng smiled slightly. Explained: "The main research direction. It is a 'medicine' for those wounded soldiers on the battlefield. If only this 'medicine' could be developed. Then the casualty rate of wounded fighters will be greatly reduced. The chances of a cure also increase. But it's still just in the exploratory stage.' The drug's effect is unstable. It is estimated that it will be a few more years. to make a breakthrough."
Fusu listened very carefully. said: "If there is such a 'medicine'. That's the blessing of my Great Qin soldiers."
Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "This kind of 'medicine' is very expensive. It takes a while to promote. And even after the rollout. It also has a very powerful adverse effect. It's just that. The pros and cons are comparative. The benefits seem to be a little more. That's why they continued to study."
"You mean to say that this 'medicine' is also harmful to people." Fusu pondered for a moment. Nodding. Obviously, he understood what Chen Sheng meant.
"Certainly." Chen Sheng nodded.
"Then let's find a solution to this harm." Fusu smiled. said: "I remember you once told me. Every question has an answer. And the answer is often not the only one."
Chen Sheng expressed surprise at Fusu's memory. This seems to be the time of some correspondence. Chen Sheng wrote on the letter when he sighed for a while.
"That's on the right." Fusu asked again.
The building on the right is about 200 zhang away from the left. And they built an earthen wall. The space inside also seems to be large. But the building is much more modest than the one on the left. And there are still cracks in many places in the earthen wall.
What surprised Fusu even more. There are a lot of guards outside this earthen wall. And quite a few of the guards would look back at the earthen wall from time to time. There was a frightened look in his eyes, and Fusu had heard of the bravery of these guards with "color" eyes. But when I saw it, it felt a little unworthy of the name.
"That's where gunpowder is made." Chen Sheng replied with a smile. And Chen Sheng's words have not fallen. There was a loud "bang......" sound from inside the earthen wall. The earth trembled slightly. A puff of smoke rose from inside the earthen wall.
Fusu's face 'color' changed slightly. Chen Sheng looked calm. But he saw the 'guards' outside the earthen wall and hurriedly rushed to the ground. It took a while to get up. And after the loud bang. Immediately, the building inside the earthen wall sounded with the sound of a gong of "Boom Kick ......." Walking in the water......" The voice immediately called. Then a team of guards stationed outside. And he carried the barrel. Scooping water from the rows of large tanks outside the earthen wall ran in. The response was very fast. The action is very skillful. Apparently already familiar with this situation.
"This is ......" Fusu looked surprised.
"That's the sound of gunpowder exploding." Chen Sheng explained: "But it depends. It should be that something went wrong when configuring. The gunpowder exploded. I hope I don't 'get killed'."
And with the sound of explosions. In the building on the left. A pair of people in white 'colored' robes. Carrying several stretchers. Rushing to the right.
Chen Sheng explained: "There are often explosions in the gunpowder factory. In the event of an explosion. casualties may result. That's why the Gunpowder Factory is built next to the research institute. In the event of an accident. Then you can have a doctor on the spot to treat you."
Fusu nodded repeatedly. There was a great deal of interest in the gunpowder workshop. said, "Can you go in and have a look?"
"This is natural." Chen Sheng nodded. said, "But we'll have to wait until it's safe. There was just an explosion inside."
Approaching the workshop. Chen Sheng saw two people who were smoked with fire and 'medicine' as black as Kunlun Nu. Pressed on a stretcher by several men in white robes. Lift it up to the institute. One of the wounded struggled to climb down. Howling, "Leave me alone! This explosion was not normal. It's a lot more powerful than I thought. There must be some reason. Let me go. Hua An. You kid, hurry up and put the old man down."
