Chapter 144: Wooden Sword Again?

Fan Siliang, who didn't find Xia Yuxian in Yanhai Martial Mansion, couldn't go to Baicaotang with a cheeky face. When he returned to the house, he saw his father leaning back in a chair and humming a little song, and he involuntarily reminded:

"According to the speculation of the elders, Xia Yuxian may have a magic weapon that can transfer a large amount of river water, so he saved 1,600 acres of medicinal fields in the inner gate of Wufu. ”

"What? Saved 1,600 acres of medicinal fields, Is there a magic weapon that can transfer a large amount of river water?"

Shopkeeper Fan, who was still immersed in joy just now, rolled up from his chair.

The bet of 4,000 million taels of gold, 4 times the odds, and if you lose, you will lose 160 million taels, which is not the sum of the Fan family's liquidity, can the Fan shopkeeper not be in a hurry?

"No! The announcement of Rongfa Guan Pudian clearly says that within three days, Liu Hong can only win if he can achieve rain for Yanhai City. Diverting the river with a magic weapon is a completely different matter!"

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Fan let out a heavy breath, and fell back on the chair and hummed a little song.

As soon as it was dark, Director Cao of Foreign Affairs hurriedly entered the inner courtyard and reported to the shopkeeper Fan: "Master, there are seven or eight shopkeepers from outside who want to see you!"

Not long after Shopkeeper Fan left the living room of the inner courtyard, there was a roar in the sky, and occasionally a fire could be seen flashing in the gap in the clouds.

City Lord Du hurriedly left the Minke Yamen, not wanting others to know the content of the note, of course, it was related to Liu Hong. He didn't expect that less than a day after the return of the Mincha envoy, Liu Hong's commendation order reached Yanhai City.

"Franchise a commodity?Is there any business in Yanhai City that has not been divided?" City Lord Du sneered on his face.

From the moment the Mincha envoy left, he knew that Liu Hong's reward was indispensable.

Liu Hong, who can no longer be promoted if he stays in the city guard, is likely to become a civilian official and become his subordinate. never expected that this Liu Hong would choose to make money.

"My lord! This Liu Hong is unruly and unruly, and he is an immature wolf cub. Don't let him grow stronger!" said a staff member.

"Do you have a way to contain him?" What Liu Hong wants to run will not go through the City Lord's Mansion at all, and City Lord Du has not yet figured out a way to deal with him.

Except for the mining intentions related to the safety of the Jinpeng Dynasty, Liu Hong can choose at will. However, this will create a conflict with the family that is already running these businesses, so it will only bring him endless troubles.

"We can't control what he wants to run, he's running, why don't we add a few more competitors to him?" the staff member looked up with a smile on his face.

Whether it is a printing company or a lottery business, Liu Hong's operation has proved to be a profitable business. As long as the city lord allows, I believe that many merchants are willing to draw scoops from the gourd and get a piece of the pie.

The head of the Lu family hated Liu Hong to the core, and was willing to spend all his family property to deal with Liu Hong. After the staff finished speaking, they stopped speaking, and waited patiently for the city lord Du to make a decision.

There is no need to spend a penny on his own, and if he can add a little blockage to Liu Hong, City Lord Du is naturally willing to do it.

He is now a little worried that once Liu Hong really succeeds in rainfall, his net worth will immediately double. With an income of 160 million taels, what kind of business can make so much money?

"This matter can be executed! Let Director Zhao come to see me immediately!" He wanted to grasp Liu Hong's every move.

........................

More than a dozen Shenlong cannons were arranged near Fan's mansion, and the hollow cannonballs not only contained silver iodide printed by Bao Ye, but also put a lot of flame charms into them. The flame created by the shattering of this paper charm aids in the catalytic process of silver iodide.

"Lord Mincha, for the sake of the people of Yanhai City, my cost is at least millions of taels. Liu Hong pointed to the Divine Dragon Cannon, which had already raised his head to the sky, and said with a smile.

When using the Dragon Cannon, the Protector costs at least 10 Yuan Stones each time. In order to make it hit at a sufficient height, Liu Hong gave each gunner 100 yuan stones. In the entire inside and outside of Yanhai City, a cannon shot down, definitely more than a million taels of gold.

"If it's really successful, what is your investment?" The people made the adults cry and laugh, tens of millions of people who dare to gamble, do they care about this money?

"Boom ---" As Liu Hong's divine dragon cannon sounded first, explosions were heard around Fan's mansion one after another.

When this hollow projectile reaches the ultimate altitude, it automatically explodes to pieces. The paper sigils shattered by the shockwave ignited flames and scattered high in the sky, occasionally visible in two clouds.

............................

"After midnight this afternoon, Liu Hong accompanied the envoy to the barracks of the Ximen City Guard, and with them came out more than 100 sergeants and 15 dragon cannons. ”

"After Shen Shi, Lord Mincha, Liu Hong, and many other idle people, etc., set off in the direction of the south gate with these divine dragon cannons. It is expected that their test site will be arranged near Fanfu. Director Zhao summarized the information he had gotten.

The matter of raining for the residents of Iwakai City is indeed related to the people's inspection envoys. Without using fifteen divine dragon cannons on his own, reporting to the capital could not cause the slightest trouble to the people's envoys.

"Do you think what they're doing is reliable?" City Lord Du was worried that they would succeed.

"Haven't heard of bad judgment. The subordinates believe that the purpose of their use of the Divine Dragon Cannon is to send something to the clouds, and the most likely thing is Liu Hong's paper talisman. ”

Liu Hong, who can develop folding charms, Jiao wildebeest, and double-winged Jiao wildebeest paper charms, may really be sure to develop a paper charm that can rain down.

If he succeeds, how can he, the city lord, deal with himself?

"Boom--" At this time, there were several muffled noises outside.

"Their experiment has begun!Let's go outside and have a look!" The City Lord Du, who was fluctuating in his heart, left Director Zhao and walked towards the gate first.

City Lord Du stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky to the south, except for a few faint glimmers of fire, there was no movement.

According to the experience of the city lord Du, as long as it rains at the south gate, the wind will rise, which will affect other places, and eventually extend to the entire city. The time of going to the half-pillar incense has passed, and the fact that they have not felt a trace of wind means that their experiment was not successful.

Relieved, City Lord Du began to walk back to the living room, when suddenly the tip of his nose was cold, and a cold raindrop hit his nose. Then, the sound of countless raindrops began to sound on the ground.

"It must be a coincidence! Let the Defense Department go to the suburban counties overnight to check if it is raining?" Du City Lord stopped and said hysterically.

How could Liu Hong catch up with the business of making money and fame? If it rained in the suburbs of Yanhai City at the same time, he could completely deny that it was Liu Hong's actions that played a role.
