Xinzheng City.

Not long after Chinese New Year's Eve, Xinzheng City still exuded a faint festive atmosphere, and there was no panic and fear because of the actions of the Qin people.

To the ordinary people of this world, war is a word that will never be unfamiliar. It is like a terrible nightmare that is destined to accompany each person for the rest of his life from the moment he is born.

In the middle of the New Year, the Great General's Mansion is naturally quite lively.

Because since the news that the 200,000 troops of the Qin people were about to send a letter to Guguan and the news that Xinling Jun and King Wei had died one after another, King Han completely ignored the political affairs of the court and only indulged in the beauty of wine.

This is not to say that he has a deep friendship with Xinlingjun and King Wei, but that he understands that the Wei State is in chaos. And South Korea, as the first obstacle on the way out of the Qin people, can only face the terrible army of 200,000 tigers and wolves alone!

The 200,000 elite Qin army completely extinguished the little luck in King Han's heart.

Today's King Han only thinks about getting by.

As early as three months ago, King Han had already decreed that Princess Honglian would be married to Mo Chen, and set a wedding date after the New Year. At the same time, on the grounds that Mo Chen needed to rectify military affairs, the defense of Xinzheng City and the palace was handed over to the fourth prince Han Yu to control.

And King Han's series of actions also caused a considerable sensation in the Korean court, making many officials who had previously relied on Zhang Xiangguo take refuge in the fourth son, Han Yu. In a short period of time, the power of the fourth son, Han Yu, in South Korea has swelled rapidly, and it has reached the level where he can barely compete with Mo Chen.

It can be said that in today's Korean court, all the big and small affairs have basically fallen under the control of Mo Chen and the fourth son, Han Yu.

Xinzheng General's Mansion, living room.

Although the living room is not small, there are not many people in it, only six or seven people in total.

Mo Chen was dressed in a black wide-sleeved robe and knelt on the main seat in the living room.

On either side of him, on the left sat the silver-haired blood-clothed Hou Bai Yifei, followed by the black crow. In the first place on the right sits a chubby jade tiger like a round ball, and behind it is a middle-aged man with an elegant face.

Mo Chen swept over several people, with a gentle smile on his face, and raised his glass: "The New Year has arrived, and a new era is about to begin, let's raise a glass and drink together." ”

When everyone heard this, they raised their glasses and drank together.

After drinking, the jade tiger was full of red light, with a bright smile on it, and said with a smile: "The general's words, I like the tiger." We have not opened the door to a new era this time, and last year's profit on paper alone was as high as 100,000 gold.

As for the glass forging method provided by the general, etc., although the technical aspect is not mature enough, all the projects together also made a profit of more than 300,000 gold. After more than half a year of exploration, most of the technologies have made considerable progress, such as porcelain, glass mirrors and so on.

According to Tiger's prediction, if we continue to expand paper production and invest more in other projects this year, the profit will be as high as 2 million gold! ”

Two million gold!

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the Jade Tiger in disbelief, and couldn't help but gasp.

The annual salary of the 100,000 troops of South Korea is only about 100,000 gold. Even in the wartime, the military salary increased several times, and it was only 300,000 or 400,000 gold. But the annual profit of the Jade Tiger was as high as two million gold.

Two million gold, South Korea's annual tax is only about two or three hundred thousand gold!

Everyone looked at the smug smile of the Jade Tiger, and although they couldn't believe it in their hearts, they couldn't find the words to refute it.

With a satisfied smile on his face, Mo Chen nodded approvingly, and said, "Tiger has done a good job, two million gold is enough for us to start the first step of the plan." ”

Monopoly is the fastest way to make money in the world.

Whether it's the delicate porcelain, the luxurious glass, or the indispensable paper. These things are just like taking them out, and they are all money-grabbing businesses that can be called daily money. What's more, their manufacturing skills are all under their own exclusive control.

If it weren't for the fact that as a Korean general, he had the absolute strength to suppress those with bad intentions, such a huge benefit would be enough to make anyone crazy.

Even so, since porcelain and paper have been sold well in Kyushu countries, Xinzheng Cheng has arrested more than ten times more secret agents from various countries in the past six months than in previous years.

When the middle-aged man below the Jade Tiger heard this, his eyes flashed with a touch of consternation.

Two million gold is just the first step in the plan!

South Korea's annual tax is only two or three hundred thousand gold, what does the general want to do, and he needs so much money?

Mo Chen felt the stunned eyes of the middle-aged man, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Zhang Xiangguo, what doubts do you have in your heart?" ”

When Zhang Ping heard this, he stood up and bowed down and said, "Zhang doesn't dare." ”

Zhang Ping, as the son of the former Xiangguo Zhangkaidi, and the new Xiangguo of South Korea, is naturally not a person without eyes. He took refuge in Mo Chen not long because of the Zhang family, and although he was fortunate to participate in this kind of confidential meeting, he also knew the wise way to protect himself by seeing more and listening to less.

If it weren't for it, except for Mo Chen, no one in the whole of South Korea would dare to use Zhang Liang anymore, and Zhang Ping would not want to get to this point.

The Zhang family has only one single seedling, Zhang Liang, and he can't watch the Zhang family be lonely, let alone watch his son be abolished.

The smile on Mo Chen's face remained unchanged, and he said, "If Xiang Guo has any doubts in his heart, he can tell him frankly, and he doesn't need to worry too much." ”

The doubts in Zhang Ping's heart, how could Mo Chen not know.

He must have doubts in his heart, what was the plan of two million gold.

As early as when Zhang Ping took refuge in himself, Mo Chen had the heart to pull the Zhang family into his chariot. Not to mention the Zhang family's reputation in South Korea, whether it is Zhang Ping's father Zhang Kaidi or his son Zhang Liang, they are all rare talents.

Not to mention Zhang Kaidi's old age, Zhang Liang is called a saint by later generations!

If you want to compete in the world, you can't do without the support and help of all kinds of talents. Although he has a small conflict with the Zhang family, huge interests can bring people closer together, don't they?

When Zhang Ping saw Mo Chen say this, he knew that he couldn't continue to remain silent.

At the same time, he was also a little curious and apprehensive in his heart, what earth-shattering secrets were hidden in the plan that could only be started with two million gold. If he knew such a secret, would he cause death?

Zhang Ping showed a little embarrassment on his face, bowed down and said, "Zhang is indeed a little confused about what the general said before. ”

When Mo Chen heard this, he smiled gently: "What did General Ben think, it turned out that Zhang Xiangguo was curious about this matter. Although these two million gold are a lot, if you want to collect the words of a hundred schools of thought and teach the knowledge of the sages to the people of the world, it is still too much short. ”

Gather the words of hundreds of schools of thought and teach knowledge to the people of the world!

Zhang Ping suddenly thought of the public school established by Mo Chen, his eyes turned into bull's eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder.

What does the general mean by this, do you still want to popularize public schools throughout Korea?

Since ancient times, knowledge has been controlled by nobles and scholars, and the general's move is afraid to provoke the anger of the public. And spreading the way of the hundred sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought doesn't seem to be of special use to the general?

Zhang Ping was shocked in his heart, but he couldn't understand what kind of deep meaning Mo Chen's move had.

Mo Chen ignored Zhang Ping's shock and looked sideways at Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei's face was flat, his eyes flashed with slight excitement, and he raised his glass and said: "The five thousand elite cavalry required by the general already have quite good combat effectiveness after half a year of training.

And because of the iron-smelting method provided by the general, the strength of our armament has been greatly improved. It's just that because the time is too urgent, only 10,000 sets of armaments can be prepared for the time being, and all of them are provided to the cavalry troops. In addition, there are already 60,000 catties of gunpowder in reserve, and even crossbows have been made with a thousand handles. ”

Mo Chen nodded with satisfaction.

In just half a year, it is enough to have such a background.

By the time the Qin people invaded, they should be able to prepare 100,000 catties of explosives. These explosives are not a lot, but when used in the right places, they can be devastating.

As for the repeater, it can store twelve arrows, and there is no need to change arrows in the middle of the fire, so it can be said that it is an ancient version of the machine gun. Whether it is used for defense or offense, it is a real killer.

With these preparations, even if the Qin people are attacked by an army of 200,000, what is there to fear!

Mo Chen thought of the news from the Qin State, and a faint murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Hopefully, the Qin people will like this gift of their own.
