After Xie Changchen arrived, he and Mei Berry went to see Shao Chong and others, and their identities were only said to be people who were once under King Qi.

Xie Changchen and Mei Berry sang and played together, and Shao Chong and the others were stunned again, and listened to Shao Chong repeat what Mei Berry had said that day.

Among them, Xie Changchen was also careful, and inevitably came up with some words that plum berries had not been set out that day.

Among them, the one that made Mei Berry have to think about all the sad things in this life, so that she can hold back her laughter is the "material robbery incident" that Shao Chong and they want to use to provoke them and King Wei.

Long before Xie Changchen and Mei Berry came over, the news from the south in the past few days had shaken off the affairs of Shao Chong and the others.

The Queen Mother wanted to know what the situation was in the four eastern states, so she sent people to find Mei Berry and their side, and at the same time, she hoped that these people would monitor and patrol the four eastern states.

As a result, these people, Xuanzhou did not dare to enter, and stayed in Xiangzhou for a while.

When they learned that the army of Sangzi Prefecture was still confronting Xuanzhou, they did not dare to enter Sangzi Prefecture directly, but went to the letter and quietly detoured into Zhuzhou from the border of Sangzi Prefecture.

Timid and cautious.

It's just that I didn't expect that although Zhuzhou received these people on the surface, just like they only made verbal promises to Meiberry and did not take actual action, Zhuzhou did the same to these officials.

Even, their whereabouts were leaked to the King of Wei by some people intentionally or unintentionally, causing Shao Chong and them to be almost assassinated.

Thanks to Shao Chong's attention, after letting the officials in Zhuzhou arrange a few boats, he secretly took his men to the smallest boat overnight.

In this regard, before they came to see Shao Chong and them, Mei Berry also specially asked Xie Changchen why the four eastern states would be out of the control of the imperial court without a vassal king.

"Is it difficult to achieve because of the rich businessman?"

After Xie Changchen arrived, he rested at Meiberry's side in the morning and at noon, and Meiberry told him many things, among which the news from the four eastern states did not wait for Yin Jiu's people to send the news back, but she knew a lot from Xie Changchen.

"The literary style of the four eastern states is flourishing, and there are many moves."

Xie Changchen said that Mei Berry knew about this.

"In the early years, when Dongfang Ji Xuan ascended the throne, he secretly attracted many forces from the four eastern states, and directly promised that if he ascended the throne, he would abolish the regulations that merchants were not allowed to take the imperial examination."

"Huh! Then now you really have money and power. ”

Plum Berry was a little puzzled by the other party's behavior of directly elevating the status of all merchants in order to obtain money.

"Yes, but he regretted it after he took the throne, and the rich businessmen in the four eastern states you see now have been left behind after being dealt with by Dongfang Ji Xuan. Do you still remember the Jiangnan fraud case a few years ago? ”

"Remember ......"

At that time, Meiberry was still in Jinshui Village, but he had heard a word from the merchants.

"Back then, he sent King Qi to Jiangnan, ostensibly to let King Qi gather local forces, and on the other hand, he wanted to earn more power for King Qi, but in fact, he secretly played ghosts and planned the Jiangnan fraud case.

Many of the people who had an accident that time were not civilians, but from major wealthy businessmen.

At that time, many people died, and many merchants who wanted to change their doors through the imperial examination were almost all cut off.

Dongfang Ji Xuan also pushed the matter to the top of the prince's succession, and released other princes who did not deal with King Qi to frame it. ”

"I'll go, Dongfang Ji Xuan's father did ......"

Plum berries never thought it would be like this.

Therefore, the wealthy families of the four eastern states who survived were more or less suspicious of the imperial court, and once the imperial court began to be chaotic, they were even more uncontrollable.

Why do you think Sangzi Prefecture was not persuaded by Gu Lan to bring those people together in the first place?

Isn't it that King Wei was also one of the suspects in the Jiangnan fraud case?

Except for Xuanzhou, which has long been laid out by him, whether it is the king of Wei or other vassal kings, or even the imperial court, the senses of the local people are actually very ordinary. ”

"Then you, if you announce your identity, wouldn't it be easier to get their help?!"

Mei Berry's eyes lit up, and he saw Xie Changchen nodding: "Those people brought by Gu Lan this time have expressed their loyalty. ”

Mei Berry knew that some of those wealthy merchants only expressed their willingness to establish business contacts with Xianyao, but did not go north.

For example, the Qin family in Zhuzhou, they were only willing to sell grain and other aspects of business relations, and in the end, Mei You and Du Yuan went north to show their loyalty.

"That's right!"

Thinking of Du Yuan, Mei Berry naturally shared with Xie Changchen that the gunpowder was ready.

"When Shao Chong's matter is resolved, I will take you to see Geng Qiu's gunpowder experiment.

And Mr. Chunyu, I found him a better job......"

"I don't need you to work so hard......"

Mei Berry was suddenly held by Xie Changzhen's hand, and when the other party suddenly put his forehead close to his forehead, Mei Berry's breath stagnated.

At such a close distance, Meiberry's face was soon covered with clouds.

"Actually, it's not hard, and I'm glad to see the change."

The sound of each other's breathing lingered around the plum berry, and she was a little stumbling when she spoke.

In fact, she is enjoying the current state.

·

After cleaning up Shao Chong's words, Mei Berry and the others sent them away.

And it's as soon as possible, expedited, live transport.

Looking for that kind of super sweat medicine directly made everyone dizzy and lay back.

Since Xie Changchen came to Fengning, after dealing with Shao Chong and these people, Xie Changchen naturally wanted to stay here for a few days, just to see what amazing results Mei Shi had made in a spring.

Mei Berry plans to take Xie Changchen to take a good look at what he has done in the past few days, and the first stop is Geng Qiu's good gunpowder.

This time, not only Xie Changchen, but Yao Fei, Tu Qiu, and the strategists who followed Xie Changchen, and even Mei Berry and Chun Yuliang were invited to come and watch.

After a deafening explosion, the small room that had been made of stones had been blown apart, and everyone present was short of breath!

"If this is put on the battlefield......"

Tu Qiu hadn't finished speaking, but his teeth were already chattering, and he couldn't imagine it anymore.

"This explosive can be used to siege cities, deter, and defend against foreign enemies, but ...... Do not use on a large scale. ”

Mei Berry finally said such a sentence, and everyone was puzzled.

"Is it because the raw materials are scarce?"

Some people think that the production of explosives is a problem, which is why the plum berry will say not to use it on a large scale.

"Although we will have a war with the King of Wei or the imperial court sooner or later, the soldiers on both sides are the people of Dacheng......"

Plum berries have gradually woken up from the excitement and excitement of the initial dynamite being made.

She could expect that they had their own explosives, but the other party didn't, and it was a sweeping gesture on her side.

However, such a thing should not be consumed in a civil war.

As Mei Berry said before, it can defend against the enemy, can attack the city, and can be deterred.

But you can't completely rely on explosives to wipe out the opponent.

Mei Berry spoke, turning her head to look at Xie Changchen.

She thought that Xie Changchen should understand.

Just as Meiberry expected, Xie Changyan understood, and gave Meiberry a positive look, helping Meiberry to emphasize those words again to everyone present.

Such sharp weapons should be to protect the country and the outside world, but only to one's own people.

This time, even Chun Yuliang, who was invited by Mei Berry to inspect the explosives, stood in the crowd and looked at Mei Berry and Xie Changzhen, and his heart was full of emotion......

Chun Yuliang: Hey, forget it, I'm going to teach and educate people.

Tu Qiu: Hey, do you have to cut it one by one?

Mei You: It's all in my mouth.

Plum berries: ??? Yes??
