"Yezi, did you really make this bet with the emperor?"

Walking out of the palace, Zhang Fu said to Hu Ye with some disbelief, just now Hu Ye really made a bet with Zhu Di, saying that he and Zhang Yuchu were able to build a warship that could destroy Zhu Di's fleet.

If Zhu Di loses, he will spare Hu Ye for the crime of disrespecting the will, and he will no longer have trouble with Zhang Huaxian.

But if Hu Ye loses, no one knows the result, because so far, no one has seen Hu Ye lose, and even Zhu Di is not very optimistic about himself, especially after making a bet with Hu Ye, he actually regrets it a little.

"The bet with the emperor has already been made, if you regret it now, wouldn't you not only commit disrespect, but also commit the crime of bullying the king? I can't afford to add sin to sin. ”

Hu Ye smiled, how can this kind of thing be a joke, isn't that a joke in his own head?

"But Yezi, you have commanded that fleet, and you also know the strength of that fleet, I heard Uncle Zhu say after he came back, that fleet sailed over, and the hundreds of warships of the Wa Kingdom all retreated, and they didn't dare to step forward. With such a fleet, do you really think that a single warship can be defeated? Aren't you too confident? Zhang Fu said loudly to Hu Ye, it was because this kind of thing could not be joked, he had to confirm with Hu Ye again and again, if he went back to tell Zhu Di now, there might still be a chance, but once he got out of the palace, he was afraid that there would be no chance at all, and then there would be only one way to bet.

"Big brother, there is a kind of confidence that you don't know."

Hu Ye sighed, he couldn't tell Zhang Fu about this kind of thing, if he didn't come from the later generations, he really wouldn't dare to boast about this kind of thing, but he had seen that kind of iron ship, with the Shenji Battalion, not to mention that it had been a fleet like this, that is, it was besieged by hundreds of ships. Nothing can happen.

However, before that, there are still many things to be solved, because to build such a ship, you need not only steel, but also supporting facilities, such as welding technology, such as drive technology, which are not available now, but now there is a foundation.

Welding technology, after going back, you can find He Fatzi to solve it. As for the driving technology, that kind of iron ship naturally can't be driven by the wind, but if the steam engine is used, then the power can be increased by hundreds or thousands, and even if it is Zhu Di's most powerful warship now, it will be immediately torn apart, and there is no need for the divine machine to go out at all.

"I don't know where your confidence comes from."

Zhang Fu sighed, he couldn't persuade Hu Ye anymore for this kind of thing. Because there were many seemingly impossible things before, but in the hands of Hu Ye, it immediately became possible and became a reality.

So now this kind of thing comes up. He didn't think that Hu Ye would definitely lose.

A fire of Zi Zi Zhen, although it only burned a Zi Zi Zhen, but it woke up many people, because of the appearance of Zi Zi Zhen Dragon. made many people mistakenly think that the great prince was gone, and he secretly began to take refuge in the second prince, after all, it has been so long. Zhu Di has not yet taken measures.

But the fire is free, plus the eldest prince has just rushed to Nanjing from Beiping, and the second prince is still in western Zhejiang to deal with the floods, so they finally understood clearly, this qiē seems to be just the beginning, if you start to stand in line now, if you stand right, you will be able to fly Huang Tengda in the future, but if you stand wrong, you will immediately be crushed, and the bones will be gone.

So a lot of people immediately start to abandon all their previous plans, and it's not yet time.

And among them is a fat man He Bing, ten days ago, he went to the Nameless Mansion to find Hu Ye to plot, but Hu Ye told him to wait a month before going, he was still a little unhappy before, he helped Hu Ye a lot, why when it came to a critical time, Hu Ye didn't even want to help with this point?

But when he heard that Hu Ye took someone to burn Zizi, He Fatzi immediately realized that it was not that Hu Ye didn't help him, but that he had already helped him, but he didn't realize it yet.

"Master Hou, I offended a lot earlier, and He is ashamed."

He Bing came to Hu Ye and said very sincerely, it can be said that it was right to come to Hu Ye before, if it wasn't for Hu Ye to ask him to wait for a month, he might really be desperate and bet all his bets on a certain prince.

Now that Zi Zi Zhen is extinguished, the real dragon has become a fake dragon, no one is responsible for this matter, and in the end, only a dozen Taoist priests of Zi Zi Zhen have carried the black cauldron.

"Fatty, I told you a long time ago, you just need to do your job well, you have a specialization in art, and no one can do anything to do business, but if you want to engage in power arts, any person in the court can play with you. So you can be a businessman with peace of mind, if you don't get involved with these, no one will go to you for trouble, I can still guarantee this, don't you see that Shen Wansan was rich and rivaled the country, didn't Emperor Taizu, who was so jealous and hateful, not take the initiative to trouble him? If it weren't for him angering Emperor Taizu, I'm afraid that he is the biggest businessman now, and it won't be your turn to be the one. Hu Ye said earnestly to He Fatzi.

"Yes, yes, what the Marquis of Fanchang taught us."

He Fatzi nodded again and again, at this time, he had to admit his mistakes.

"Hehe, since Master Ben helped you this time, do you want to do me a favor too?" Hu Ye saw that He Fatzi was very serious in admitting his mistakes, so he smiled, which made He Fatzi's heart tremble, maybe he was about to be pitted by Hu Ye again.

But this time it was indeed Hu Ye who saved him, even if he was pitted, he had to admit it.

"Master Hou has something to say, even if he goes to the soup and the sea, He Mou will not blink." He Fatzi patted his chest and said.

Hu Ye patted He Bing's shoulder and muttered, "It's not enough to go to the Tang Dynasty, you have also seen it, my Nameless Mansion has been expanding recently, and all the materials are of the best quality, pulled from all over the country, so the freight and material costs add up to not a small amount." You also know that this marquis is only 2,000 stone a year, how can he afford such a large consumption......

"Master Hou! Don't say more, the expansion of the Nameless Mansion, I have a package! I will let my firm bring the best materials to Hou Ye, invite the best craftsmen, and build a brand new Hou Mansion for Hou Ye! He Bing knew what Hu Ye meant, which was to let him pay.

"Haha, refreshing!"

Hu Ye laughed, and just when He Bing thought that the matter was about to end, Hu Ye suddenly said again, "By the way, there is one more thing, which may require your help." ”

He Bing cursed in his heart, this Hu Ye really kicked his nose up, I am afraid that the expansion of the Nameless Mansion will cost a lot of money, and now I still need him to help, I am really not satisfied.

But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and since they have agreed to one condition, they don't care about one more condition.

"You don't have to panic, I asked you to help with this, and naturally you will have profits, but how long this profit can make you earn, I'm not sure." Hu Ye muttered.

"What? And profits? He Bing thought that he had misheard, and he was ready to be slaughtered by Hu Ye, but he didn't expect Hu Ye to say that there would be profits.

"Yes, of course there is, and it's a big profit, so big that you can't imagine it, even if it's only one year, it's enough to make up for your losses."

"Master Hou, let's talk about it."

He Bing couldn't wait, if he was slaughtered by Hu Ye, he would definitely not be so excited, but as soon as he heard that there was a profit, he immediately became happy.

"Have you ever heard of Fierce Fire Oil?" Hu Ye asked.

"I've naturally heard of this, I did this business a few years ago, but it was taken over by the imperial court, and I never dared to touch that again." He Bing said a little unwillingly.

It turned out that He Bing had done the business of fierce fire oil in the early years, but when that thing became more and more important, the imperial court naturally wanted to take back all the operating rights, and He Fatzi naturally couldn't compete with the imperial court, so he had to endure the pain and cut his love.

"And do you know how the Flame Oil came from?" Hu Ye asked again.

"It's from something called black oil, and I've heard that it burns directly." He Bing replied.

"Yes, that kind of thing was finally formed after tens of thousands of years of precipitation. But there is another thing, which has also been precipitated for tens of thousands of years, and it is even more ferocious, and it can be burned directly without even refining, and its burning power is dozens of times more violent than that of fierce fire oil! Hu Ye said loudly.

"What! Ten times more violent than fierce fire oil? ”

He Bing was taken aback by Hu Ye, what is the fierce fire oil? The reason why it is called fierce fire oil is because its fire is so fierce that it can't even extinguish the fire, and it will only get stronger and stronger.

And something that is more fierce than fierce fire oil, can there be anything that can be extinguished?

"Yes, I've seen this kind of thing, and the Ming Dynasty also has zài, as long as you can find it, even if it is confiscated by the imperial court in the end, but during this period of time, the profit you can earn is very large." Hu Ye said hesitantly.

The one he said is naturally natural gas, although it is more troublesome to store, but it does not need to be refined, it can be used directly, it is not as troublesome as fierce fire oil, and as long as it can be jetted, it can be used, and it is best to use it for welding, and this kind of thing is indispensable to build a future warship.

"Master Hou, what you said is true? How come I've never seen one? He Bing asked Hu Ye curiously, if there is really such a thing, could it be that there are tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and no one can see it?

"Have you ever heard of some people who see ghost fires in the middle of the night?" Hu Ye asked.

He Bing nodded.

"It's something called phosphorus, and although it can come out in the middle of the night, it's just a snap of your fingers. And there is a kind of fire that comes out of the ground, but it lasts for a long time, sometimes for years, I don't know if you have heard of it? Hu Ye asked again.

"What! Could it be that the thing you're talking about is what we call the Immortal Ghost Fire? He Bing jumped up directly. (To be continued......)
