Wu Qianyuan is a doer.

He and Zhang Chu finalized a reward of two million taels of silver the day before.

The next day, his commission arrived in Yanbei Prefecture and Xiliang Prefecture through his news channels.

The sky-high reward of three million taels of silver quickly set off stormy waves in the undercurrent of the rivers and lakes in the two places!

What is the concept of three million taels?

Thirty taels, you can buy a small courtyard in and out in the capital of a county.

Three hundred taels, you can build a two-story small restaurant in the capital of a county.

Three thousand taels is enough to buy hundreds of acres of land in any county town and become a big landlord.

30,000 taels, the richest man at the county level, is still a big gap from this amount.

300,000 taels, smashing silver to open the way, whether it is to break through the rivers and lakes or to mix in the court, it will be a thoroughfare.

Once there is enough money to form money, it can really kill all sides and do whatever you want!

Wu Qianyuan is the best example!

Three million taels?

Half a load of taxes in a state is only this amount!

The Taiping Society dominated Beiyin County for a year and a half, and more than 10,000 people under its command ran around to make money, and the shadows were almost all over all the businesses that could make money except for officials and businessmen in Beiyin County, and so far they have only accumulated more than 1.2 million taels!

Offering a reward of three million taels and killing a four-grade person, how can no one be tempted?

In just four or five days, I don't know how many Jianghu children in Yanbei Prefecture and Xiliangzhou who carried swords and swords and called friends entered Xuanbei.

Some of them really came for the three million taels of bounty.

Some of them came purely with the mentality of watching the excitement.

So much more than Jianglong into Xuanbei Prefecture.

How could the land snakes in Xuanbei Prefecture know nothing?

Soon, the news of the bounty of three million taels.

and the grievances and grievances between the Taiping Society, the Northern Alliance and the Xuanbei Heavenly Sword Sect, which were promoted by well-meaning organizations including but not limited to the Blood Shadow Guard, spread all over the rivers and lakes of the four southern counties......

The huge rivers and lakes of the four southern counties were shocked.

Shocked by the Taiping Society and the Northern Alliance's big strokes!

It was also shocking that Zhang Chu dared to stand up to Wan Jiangliu's blood!

That's the four products of the great man Wanjiangliu!

That is the Tiandaomen that has suppressed Xuanbei Prefecture for decades, and few people dare to attack its edge!

Although the reputation of the Taiping Society in the past two years is very great, compared to the Heavenly Sword Gate, it is a rich man in the countryside.

No matter how you look at it, the Taiping Society has no chance of winning......

But Zhang Chu is just right with the Heavenly Sword Gate!

Not only is it just right, but it's just so vigorous!

One shot is three million taels of silver!

smashed the other Qi Sea Tycoons in Xuanbei Prefecture all felt their scalps tingle, and secretly said in their hearts, if that Zhang Chu can survive this hurdle, he will have to walk around him in the future no matter what.

Before that, only the people in the rivers and lakes of Beiyin County felt that Zhang Chu was very good.

Since then, the people in the entire Xuanbei Prefecture have felt that Zhang Chu is very good......

Of course, it is not without discussion.

For example, accusing Zhang Chu of finding a killer to organize a reward, which is not fair enough.

But it was soon drowned out in a sea of disdain.

He Zhang Chu's search for a killer is not bright enough.

But that Wan Jiangliu, a dignified fourth-grade senior master, the head of the Xuanbei Heavenly Sword Sect, personally went down to suppress a seventh-grade young master in his early teens, isn't it despicable and shameless?

Zhang Chu is still a bloody man who has fought against the Northern Barbarians twice, what about him?

Where was he when the Northern Barbarians entered Xuanbei Prefecture?

Rivers and lakes...... It is always young and hot-blooded children!

Zhang Chu is young enough.

Zhang Chu's experience is enthusiastic enough.

Zhang Chu is enough to compare!

Even Zhang Chu himself didn't expect that his reputation would gradually turn positive because of this incident......

And the Wan's Heavenly Sword Sect had previously spread a lot of posts, trying their best to make this matter bigger.

When Zhang Chu pushed the boat down the river and really made things bigger, they felt the pressure surge and their hearts were pounding.

Who knows if there will be a Flying Grandmaster who is short of money and wants to earn this money?

Three million taels of silver may not be a big deal for the Flying Grandmaster, but you can earn three million taels of silver by killing someone on the way, I'm afraid that few Flying Grandmasters will refuse, right?

......

On the second day of October, it was sunny.

In a valley south of Mt. Dog's Head.

Zhang Chu casually threw the lit explosives bag in his hand into a hut built haphazardly with bluestone bars.

"Bang. ”

The explosive pack exploded, and the powerful impact overturned the stone house on the spot.

Even the bluestone strip walls, which were built with glutinous rice mortar as a binder, collapsed.

He stepped up and carefully examined the bluestone bars, and found that several bluestone bars, one foot high and one foot wide, were all broken!

Zhang Chu turned around and shouted, "Old Qiao, Old Qiao!"

"Hey, helper, here!"

A shriveled old man with a sparse beard and smoky marks trotted out from behind a large tree.

This old man used to be the most famous firecracker master in AllHeaven, and the apprentices and grandchildren he brought out back then were already able to make a living by making firecrackers in the county.

"How did you adjust the recipe this time, and how do I feel at least 20% stronger than before?"

Lao Qiao waved his hands with a look of admiration and said: "I have adjusted this according to your wishes, mixed cotton stem ash into saltpeter powder, and then subtly adjusted the specific gravity of sulfur powder and charcoal powder......

Zhang Chu listened to the little old man's report, and said in his heart that this refined version of black powder was almost the strongest explosive he could make.

The stronger yellow powder was no longer something that could be made by the barren chemical knowledge in his head.

I sighed slightly.

That's fine.

The explosives package is also for the masters of the next three products, and it has a certain lethality.

When the enemy's force rises to the middle and third grades, the role of the explosive bag is much smaller, and it must be made up by relying on the geographical advantage and the huge quantity.

Shaped like chicken ribs.

"Old Joe, how many explosives can you make with the raw materials in your hand?"

Zhang Chu interrupted Lao Qiao's work report that was getting farther and farther away.

Lao Qiao thought for a while and said, "If you match it according to ten catties, you can still make two hundred!"

"Two hundred?"

Black powder is extremely unstable, damp, flammable and explosive, and should not be stored.

Therefore, Lao Qiao used to study formulas and test power, and never made them on a large scale.

It wasn't until Zhang Chu completely tore his face with Wan's Tiandaomen because of the Wan's Tiandaomen and the Jiangbeimeng that Lao Qiao rushed to make two hundred explosive bags, which he took to Xianlu County.

Later, he went north to support the Zhenbei Army, and he took that batch of explosives to the north, but Jintianfu was useless and brought it back.

Two hundred original explosives packs, plus two hundred enhanced explosives packs...... If you can't blow up Wan Jiangliu, then wipe your neck, at least you can die with dignity!

Zhang Chu pondered for a few breaths, and then asked, "How long will it take?"

Old Qiao rolled his eyes and thought for a while, "Two hundred, you have to give me ten days, right?"

He didn't do these jobs alone, he also brought a dozen apprentices.

But his apprentices all learned the craft of making firecrackers, and each of them only has one process at this stage.

Some will only pick saltpeter.

Some will only powder saltpeter and purify saltpeter.

The most critical process of mixing explosives has always been handled by Lao Qiao himself!

It must also be in a separate stone room surrounded by a brother from the Honghua Hall who was born in the Xuanwu Hall.

Those who can make firecrackers are all over the ground.

can do refining black powder, and Lao Qiao is alone in the sky and on the ground.

The key is the specific gravity of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal...... This specific gravity is not something that can be tried out of random attempts, without an accurate specific gravity, random attempts will kill people!

If outsiders want to get the manufacturing method of the explosive pack, in addition to stealing the recipe in Zhang Chu's hand, the only way to do so is to kidnap Lao Qiao and forcibly ask him.

But if you want to break through the information blockade of the Blood Shadow Guard's layers and dig out this shriveled little old man who doesn't look amazing from the tens of thousands of permanent residents of Taiping Town, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack!

Even if someone is so cowhide, if Lao Qiao can dig it out and take him out of Taiping Town, if you want to torture Lao Qiao to find the explosive formula, you have to ask Lao Qiao if he is willing.

Zhang Chu didn't mean to clamp down on Lao Qiao, but Lao Qiao's two sons did work in the Taiping Society, and they were sent to the district and county rudder in the form of a pseudonym.

Gunpowder is a Pandora's box.

As long as you can take good care of this magic box, you can't be too cautious.

"Old Joe, I also want to give you ten days!"

Zhang Chu gently patted Lao Qiao's shoulder, sighed slightly, and said, "But thirteen days later, someone is going to kill me, I have to prepare in advance with these explosive bags, there is not so much time for you to get old." ”

When Old Qiao heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, "What?

"Lao Tzu dug the graves of his ancestors for eighteen generations!"

"I didn't say it, five days, you give me five days, I just treat the apprentices under me as mules, and I also designate you to drive them out, and promise not to delay your big event!"

The shriveled little old man pouted his teeth and slapped his shriveled chest vigorously to pack tickets to Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu smiled: "You don't have to rush so much, you are old, you have to rest, and this thing is too dangerous, and it can't go wrong...... Seven days, you can be relaxed, I still have time to prepare. ”

"By the way, I'll send someone to send a batch of iron beads to you later, and when you make explosives packets, mix one or two handfuls into each explosive pack!"

Lao Qiao responded: "Seven days, seven days!"

Zhang Chu nodded with a smile, and pulled the shriveled little old man out of the valley: "When this matter is over, I will let Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao go home for a while, you guys will get together, those two boys are not young anymore, and it is time to get married, I will ask my family to look for the two of them to see if there is a suitable yellow flower girl in the town!"

When the shriveled little old man heard this, he was so beautiful that he couldn't see his teeth: "That little old man will thank the eldest lady in advance!"

Zhang Chu just laughed.

He knows.

His current power may be very large, with more than 10,000 people under his command, and the common people who directly and indirectly work for him, not 100,000, but 50,000!

But his foundation has always been the 30,000 people he brought out from AllHeaven!

People are cheap when they leave their homes.

He took the lead, and everyone reported to the group in a foreign land to keep warm.

He treats them as his own.

They also treated him as their own family.

He is not the overlord of Chu.

But they are his sons and fathers!
