Chapter 165: Stand-in 10

Sure enough, the fireworks spread throughout the Great Xia Kingdom in a very short period of time.

The cottage has a fireworks sales shop in the city, and many traveling merchants come to buy fireworks every day.

This was only possible when glass mirrors and glass products were developed.

Fireworks are consumables, and the purchase volume of merchants is naturally larger.

A steady stream of money entered the cottage.

Zhang Ruonan sent more people to find the homeless.

These men brought food with them, and when they saw the homeless, they tempted them with food.

The homeless people were willing to be tempted and followed the villagers to the cottage.

Among them, there are many ordinary people who are not homeless, but who are also lured by food.

The main reason is that the world has become more and more chaotic, and more people can't live anymore.

Several state capitals have gone to war, and the local people have fled those state capitals and have been taken to cottages.

The size of the cottage has increased more than ten times, and the army formed has 20,000 people.

Zhang Ruonan pointed to the main city of Yizhou on the map and said, "It's time." ”

It was easy to take the Yizhou Mansion, and the army of the cottage did not suffer a single casualty.

On this day, the Jiedu Embassy held a banquet, and the officials, generals and magnates of Yizhou Mansion went to attend the banquet.

The wine drunk at the banquet was "bought" from the cottage wine shop by the governor of the Jiedu Embassy.

The taste of these fruit wines is very good, and the magnates love it.

At every banquet, the fruit wine field must be indispensable.

The crowd drank the fruit wine unsuspectingly, not knowing that it had been added to the mimosa.

As a result, all the powerful people in Yizhou Mansion who could manage affairs were put down.

The city defense troops of Yizhou Mansion were leaderless, and the city gate was easily opened and the Zhao family army was let into the city.

Yizhou City easily fell into the hands of Zhao Yinze.

After that, it's the whole of Yizhou.

After eating a full meal, the soldiers of Yizhou did not hesitate to fall to the Zhao family's army.

In this world, the people at the top eat with their mouths full of oil, while the soldiers at the bottom eat bran and drink thin, and they are hungry many times.

Now there is an army that allows them to eat two meals a day, and they are stupid not to join.

In this way, the Zhao family's army suddenly expanded to more than 100,000 people.

After the other state capitals knew that Yizhou had been taken by the reckless rebel king, they did not take any action against Yizhou.

First, all of these people's energy is focused on fighting for the Central Plains; The second is that the Shu Road is too difficult to walk, even if they send troops to Yizhou, the army will not be able to enter.

Fortunately, the army in Yizhou can't come out and won't grab territory with them.

For the time being, you can put aside that daring guy called Zhao Yinze.

What they didn't know was that Liu Hiiragi had already led a group of people to blow up the mountain with gunpowder and build a tunnel.

When the construction of the road is completed, it is the time for the Yizhou army to leave Shu.

At that time, the battle situation in the Central Plains should have been in chaos.

The Yizhou army just picked up the cheap.

At this time, it is the best opportunity for Yizhou to recuperate and engage in infrastructure construction to increase its strength.

Although there was a war, it did not affect the sales of fireworks.

Those powerful people only care about their own enjoyment, and they don't care whether others live or die.

In addition to fireworks sales, Yizhou also started selling table salt.

The quality of this salt is ten times stronger than that of coarse salt, comparable to the fine salt eaten by the elite, but the price is five times cheaper than coarse salt, and ordinary people can afford to eat it.

The people went crazy, and so did the merchants.

Merchants grabbed salt and shipped it to other state capitals to sell, and the price was the same as the price of fine salt, and the huge profits were astronomical.

In this way, the merchants made money, but the people of other state capitals could not eat the evaluation salt.

Fortunately, Zhao Tiangang and Zhang Ruonan had expected it, and the two formed a caravan and asked the caravan to take salt to other state capitals to sell.

The people of other state capitals were finally able to eat cheap salt, and they went to the caravans in Yizhou to buy it.

The other merchants had to lower the price of salt, although it could not be reduced to the same level as the Yizhou caravan, and it was higher than the price of coarse salt, but it also satisfied the people.

The people began to sell salt from other merchants.

After all, there are only a few caravans in Yizhou, how much salt can they carry?

It is far from satisfying the needs of the people of the world.

The people bought good salt at the same price as coarse salt.

There are few impurities in good salt, and a little less is enough for a family.

Using others saves a lot more than kosher salt.

One pound of coarse salt can only be used for three months by a family.

If the salt is good, it can be used for half a year.

The people were very satisfied.

Other caravans made small profits but made a lot of money.

This wave is a benefit for all three parties.

And the fireworks also reached Jingzhou.

Seeing the fireworks, Tan Shiyu knew that it was the masterpiece of another traverser.

She thought of explosives from fireworks.

If there is such a weapon of mass destruction as explosives, won't the Jingzhou army be invincible in the war?

It's just that Tan Shiyu, a liberal arts student, doesn't know how to make explosives.

Having seen the crossing, she knew that the explosives were made of charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur.

But she doesn't know how to match it!

She didn't know what other materials were to be added to it.

It is useless to hand it over to the craftsmen below to study.

Tan Shiyu found Gongsun Yanyu.

"Dynamite?"

Tan Shiyu nodded.

She described to Gongsun Yanyu the usefulness and power of explosives.

Gongsun Yanyu was so moved by this that he immediately found another craftsman to study fireworks, wanting to start with fireworks to develop explosives.

But explosives are not so easy to work out.

Tan Shiyu then asked Gongsun Yanyu to find out the person who developed the fireworks and bring them to Jingzhou.

Gongsun Yanyu: "I'll send someone to Yizhou." ”

As a young and promising owner of the domain, Gongsun Yanyu is optimistic about him There are many capable people, and there are many capable people under him.

He sent a few people who were good at finding out information and had good skills, and asked them to go to Yizhou to find the developer of fireworks, and then "invite" people to Jingzhou.

These people were ordered to infiltrate Yizhou disguised as merchants.

After coming to Yizhou, they were shocked by the prosperity of Yizhou.

This is Yizhou?!

This place is even more prosperous than Jingzhou and the capital!

Entering Yizhou, all you see along the way are golden fields, and the crops in the fields are about to be harvested.

Such a scene is rarely seen in other state capitals and even Jingzhou.

The faces of the people of Yizhou are full of hope for life, unlike the people in other state capitals, whose faces are full of numbness and despair.

This is a vibrant state capital, a paradise that Tan Shiyu once mentioned.

One or two spies wavered in their hearts.

They were optimistic about Gongsun Yanyu's prospects and took refuge in him, but now, they felt that Zhao Yinze, the ruler of Yizhou, seemed to be more in line with their choice.

In addition, those people are born in Jingzhou and are the confidants of Gongsun Yanyu.

They were not shaken by the prosperity of Yizhou, and they were bent on finding out the news of the inventor of fireworks and wanted to take people away.
