Chapter 1183: Rich Merchant

Chen Gaoxuan's eyes were unusually warm when he looked at Zhao Xiong, he could already foresee how much of a role this thing called black powder would play in the battlefield in the future.

"General Zhao, you have made a great contribution this time, now you can tell me who came up with this method, right?"

"Your Highness, do you remember the people that the last general brought back when he returned from Jing'an City?"

Chen Gaoxuan thought for a while and frowned and asked, "Are you talking about the third lady of the Ye family and her mother?" ”

"Exactly, the method of making this black powder was contributed by Miss Ye San."

"She? In other words, this method is Ye's? But the Ye family did not belong to us? What exactly do they mean? ”

"No, Miss Ye San said that she is the only one who knows how to make this black powder, and Miss Ye San also said that her eldest brother has an old mind, but she feels that His Royal Highness is not a thing in the pool, so she comes to His Highness with this sincerity."

Hearing Zhao Xiong say this, Chen Gaoxuan couldn't help but feel a little touched, not only because he was recognized, but also because of Ye Lu's boldness as a woman.

"Then where is Miss Ye San? I want to see her. Chen Gaoxuan was very curious at this time, what kind of woman has such a bold mind, such a wonderful formula, and what else would she have?

Summoned by the King of Linshan, Ye Lu was expected, she dressed exquisitely and walked calmly into the palace, and every step she took felt like she was taking a step closer to the back seat.

"The people's daughter Ye Lu see His Highness." She is full of blessings, just right to show her beautiful posture and not flattering, which makes people feel good immediately.

Chen Gaoxuan only felt that his eyes lit up, but he didn't expect this Ye Lu to be such a charming beauty, this kind of beauty was different from the women in his harem, she was shy and bold, not disgusting at all, on the contrary, she admired it very much.

He has long felt that women should be generous, not that they should be regulated by dogma and etiquette to be so bad that they can't do anything, and he has long been ready to plan, when he ascends the throne, he wants to improve the status of women, and he feels that Ye Lu's appearance may just be an excellent example at this time.

"Miss Ye San, please get up, come here, sit down."

Ye Lu looked into his eyes, which were full of admiration and joy: "The folk girl has written about His Highness, and she has long heard of His Highness's wisdom, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today." ”

"Miss Ye San's temperament is different from ordinary women." Chen Gaoxuan seems to appreciate and explore the way.

Ye Lu was generous: "Although the folk girl has not read any books, she feels that since God divides people into men and daughters, it has its own intentions, so the folk women think that everyone is just a different division of labor, and it is not necessarily that women are inferior to men." ”

Ye Lu's answer was bold, but she knew that she was bold and did it on purpose, because she knew that the male protagonist Linshan King was different from the average man in this world, what he liked was the kind of woman who was bold and flamboyant, and after he entered the throne, he also raised the status of women despite his opposition, so this was after she considered it in every possible way, she knew that Chen Gaoxuan would definitely not blame her, and she might even appreciate it.

The people around gasped when they heard her words, thinking that even if she gave the formula of black powder, she would definitely dislike His Highness in the future, and some attendants hooked the corners of their mouths slightly, and then quietly retreated, not knowing who to report to.

Chen Gaoxuan's eyes were burning, he admired it in his heart, but he didn't express it on his face, but said with a deep meaning: "Miss Ye San is really extraordinary, let's talk about this black powder first." ”

Seeing that he didn't say much, the people present really thought that Ye Lu had annoyed Chen Gaoxuan, after all, in this era, what man doesn't want his status to be high? But what the truth is, only the two of them know it in their hearts, which is why Ye Lu was not calculated for the first time after entering Chen Gaoxuan's backyard.

The king of the mountains thought that he had mastered the magic weapon of victory, but he did not know that it would not be long before sulfur and saltpeter were hard to buy in the market.

"Big brother, what is this?" Ye Cheng looked at the water column that was blown up in front of him, and the fish that were turning their bellies on the lake, and the horror in his eyes never dissipated, "What the hell is this?" How powerful is it? ”

"Gunpowder."

"Gunpowder? Big brother, you asked me to control the circulation of sulfur and saltpeter in the market some time ago, just because they are the raw materials for making this gunpowder? ”

"That's right."

"Big brother is really clever, there is such a recipe, with this gunpowder, who are we afraid of?"

"But I didn't plan to use it in the early stage."

"Why?"

"Because Ye Lu will also, I want to leave a backhand to catch the King of the Mountain by surprise."

Ye Cheng was stunned: "Ye Lu also knows?" Could it be that this is handed down from the ancestors of the family? ”

"Not really." Ye Qiu shook his head, "She has now taken refuge in the Linshan King, it is estimated that the Linshan King will soon be used in the war, they don't know that we have it, so we have to hide it, it will work at a critical time, and I don't want them to make too many casualties." ”

Ye Cheng did not delve into the specific source of this gunpowder formula, but deeply admired: "Big brother Gao Yi. ”

Ye Cheng knew that with the stock of sulfur and saltpeter that they were hoarding now, it was enough to lay down half of the country, but if they did this, the casualties caused by gunpowder would also increase exponentially, and after the fact, the whole world would be a scorched earth, so it would be contrary to their original idea, they just wanted to return the world to a clear state and let the common people live and work in peace and contentment, instead of doing things against their will in order to lay down the country.

"Find a time, please let us city lords also see the power of this gunpowder."

Ye Cheng's eyes flashed: "What does the eldest brother mean?" ”

"In the future, this Jing'an City will be our base camp, at least for the time being, we will not consider relocation, then this city must be completely controlled by us." Ye Qiu said domineeringly.

"I understand what big brother means, I will do a good job in this matter."

Ye Qiu looked at him and smiled slightly: "I believe in you, if it weren't for you, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly." ”

Ye Cheng was praised by his eldest brother every day, and he was even more energetic: "How can I live up to the trust of my eldest brother?" ”

"Go ahead, I've arranged a team for you, and they'll be there to keep you safe from now on."

"They are all elites trained by you, big brother, is it a waste to give me? And I'm usually in the city, so there's no danger. ”

"No, for me, you are more important than anyone else, don't shirk."

At this point, Ye Cheng's heart was also even more moved, he was just a concubine in the family, if he didn't have the support of his eldest brother, he might have done some housekeeping for the rest of his life, how could he be reused? How can he go out like now, and everyone has to call him the second master? In the future, he must do a more perfect job of what his eldest brother gave him.
