Chapter 220: Making Cannons
"Do you know that?" Tang Chun smiled mysteriously.
"Grandpa really has a vision, and the general actually has that kind of mysterious thing. Only can be worth it for the servant. Jiang Weiwei said.
"Hehe, I'll get you one when I get a chance. Tang Chun said with a smile.
"Really?" Jiang Weiwei's eyes suddenly widened, as if he couldn't believe that there was such a good thing, "The general must be talking about playing, but how can the only maid dare to have such extravagant hopes." ”
"Of course it's true, those who can follow me Tang Chun will be happy. What is the empty bag, I'll reward you with this first. Tang Chun said as he moved, and the earth-level supreme meniscus knife that he had exchanged from the woman in white appeared in the air.
Looking at the powerful murderous aura overflowing from the meniscus knife, Jiang Weiwei's eyes were shining.
"Do you really give it to me?"
"Of course, take it. You try to blend it first. Tang Chun said, erasing his mark, and the meniscus knife fell lightly into Jiang Weiwei's hand.
"Xie Lu, General Xie's reward. Jiang Weiwei was blessed excitedly, holding the meniscus knife and gently brushing it, touching it, and couldn't put it down.
"It seems to be the best of the ground level. ”
"Well, it seems that you have a good eye. Tang Chun's flesh was painful. Although he now has a heaven-level low-grade extreme blade, the earth-level top-grade weapon is also good. This thing scolded himself in his heart for being so uncompetitive, and he was actually fascinated by beauty, this mouth was big, and he gave it away.
But after thinking about her, she was my Tang Chun's woman, and her heart was balanced again. In fact, Tang Chun didn't want to think about it, that Seven-Rank Fire Blue Cupping Pill was much more precious than this Meniscus Knife.
Jiang Weiwei went out to practice and familiarize himself with the sword, and Tang Chun put on his clothes and walked out. I found that the fat man, the head of the guard, was actually leaning against the tent, and he was snoring as loudly as thunder. The juice was flowing all over my chest. As soon as he saw this guy like this, he was angry, and Tang Chun kicked it.
"What are you doing, my beautiful girl. The fat man was dazed, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Tang Chun was staring at him coldly, this guy touched the fat head, and said abruptly, "I'm sorry, I also drank high last night." Luckily, nothing happened, right?"
"Something's wrong. If something happens, you just have to wait to collect Lao Tzu's body. Tang Chun snorted angrily.
"Hey, hey. I know there's a beautiful woman coming in to accompany you. So, I went to sleep with peace of mind, and I don't want to disturb your good business. I didn't expect the fat man to laugh.
"Yadi, do you know that Lu Dao still let her in?" Tang Chun choked fiercely.
"Not an assassin. is the granddaughter of Uncle Jiang. That's beautiful. It's a pity she doesn't like fat me. Brother Chun. People live for a lifetime, and they are not happy for a lifetime.
It's iron-blooded to go to the battlefield, lose your head at any time, and what's wrong with the girl coming over to give you a stretch when you're resting. Look at that guy Bao Yi. On the surface, it is upright, but in reality it is similar. The woman with a different surname in the Nine Ring Valley estimated how bad it was for him, and it was not clear. Anyway, this guy isn't a good guy. The fat man laughed dryly.
"Fat man, are you burying Lao Tzu behind your back? When did Lao Tzu play with women?" Bao Yi actually came out and stared at the fat man fiercely, his fists clenched so loudly that he seemed to want to teach the fat brother a lesson.
"The surname is Bao, why are you staring at me, what are your intentions?" the fat man's face turned a little red. Ignoring Bao Yi's threat, with Tang Chun here, Bao Yi would never dare to do anything to himself.
"Staring at the fart, Lao Tzu might as well practice more if he has that leisure. Last night, I passed by and found that you actually slept like a pig, even if an enemy came in, you would not be awake. Lao Tzu stared at you all night, and you still speak ill of me behind your back, villain. Bao Yi sneered.
"Isn't what I'm saying true, it's impossible not to play with women. The fat man said stiffly.
"I don't believe it, you punch me a few times and try it. Bao Yi snorted coldly.
"You know that my skills are lower than yours, so it's boring. The fat guy straightened his chest.
"Lao Tzu has practiced childlike skills, and the general will make it clear if he tries it. Bao Yi said.
"Ah, you're still ...... Impossible, right...... You don't have a woman. The fat man was a little speechless.
"Didn't I tell you to try, this boy will be clear as soon as he tries it. Bao Yi sneered.
The fat man lowered his head, but he said stiffly: "That's because you have to practice children's skills so you don't dare to touch women." Actually, you've been thinking about this for a long time. ”
"Fart!" Bao Yi was annoyed.
"Alright, let's go in and talk. Tang Chun waved his hand.
The two guys looked at each other happily and sat down.
"Although more than 2,000 people have been recruited from Jiangjiazhuang now, the burden on our shoulders will be heavier. Tang Chun said.
"Yes, this is more than 2,000 mouths, no, it is more than 10,000 mouths, and you have to be responsible for eating, drinking, and Lazar. Where did the silver come from? Moreover, even if they make a batch of military uniforms, it is difficult to find silver taels. If you have high skills, you must also match armor, weapons, and silver. Bao Yi was worried.
"Drop it, attract a litter called Hanako. It's really a headache, so let's rob the rich and help the poor. The fat man patted his head and came up with a bad idea.
"That's right, a large number of masters of the Purple Guards are not in Fuzhou City. You can rob a few and report to them. Tang Chun snorted.
"If you don't rob the silver, you need it urgently. "The fat man is in trouble.
"How about asking Li Bei to sell calligraphy and paintings again?" Bao Yi said.
"Fart, this Taigu County is also so poor that it is scum, and there are a few people who know how to appreciate poetry and songs. Fuzhou City is about the same. The fat man snorted.
"Alas, the Yuan Stone is also exhausted. The silver taels were also spent. Basically, that's all that can be mortgaged on this outfit. Tang Chun sighed, pondering how to make money.
The fat man and Bao Yi were also at a loss, and at this time, Li Bei came in and asked the fat man in a whisper.
After a long time, Tang Chun suddenly slapped the table and said, "Yes, isn't Daozi County my fiefdom?"
"Of course, there is a decree from the Holy Father. Li Bei said.
"Okay, let's use Daozi County to mortgage and exchange for silver tickets. Tang Chun said.
"This is not proper, Brother Tang, this Daozi County is your first fiefdom. Moreover, the Holy One also made you a baron.
Once the fief is lost, your title will not be guaranteed. You are now guilty again, and this title and fief are especially difficult to obtain.
This is the knocking stone for you to re-enter the noble disciples. It must not be mortgaged. If you can't get back a large sum of silver, your fiefdom will be lost, and you will have nothing. And, the impact is not good. Li Bei said.
"No need to discuss, it's settled. For today's plan, it is to recover Daozi County, if this thing can't be done, first of all, my head will not be able to protect. What's the use of having an empty fief?" Tang Chun was resolute.
"I'm afraid that the people of Qianzhuang won't dare to ask for it, although your fief is yours, but now it is in the hands of Huolan Kingdom. How could people spend piles of silver in exchange for a fief that was empty and had no substance. Of course, if it belongs to the Dayu Dynasty, it's another matter. The fat man said.
"Not necessarily, let's ask for a slightly lower price. Since Daozi County has been recovered from me, it represents the meaning of the saint. It doesn't matter how long it lasts. It will be recovered. When the time comes. It's time for the silver village to make money. Daozi County is a large county, with a population of more than 2 million. If such a large territory is sold to those who are very rich, it will be a lot of money. Tang Chun shook his head.
"Since Brother Tang has decided to handle this matter, Taigu County has a branch of Shunfeng Qianzhuang. As long as it is negotiated, it will come now. Fuzhou will use the Flying Eagle to bring the silver ticket. Or served with a flying eagle. Shunfeng Money Village is the largest money bank in the country. Li Bei said. Then he took a few people and went straight to Taigu County. The next day, one day. Tang Chun and the fat man were going through the enlistment procedures for the Jiangjiazhuang people.
After a busy day, it was all done. This matter can be passed on to the general army yamen for approval. In the evening, Li Bei also came back in a hurry, saying that Shunfeng Qianzhuang agreed to mortgage Daozi County. The total collateral amount is as high as 400,000 taels of silver.
This can be regarded as an astronomical amount in the Dayu Dynasty, because. The Qipin County Order's annual Fenglu is only a few dozen taels of silver. Of course, grey income is not counted among them.
With a silver ticket, it is easy to get things done, Tang Chun immediately arranged for Bao Yi to go out separately with Li Bei, and took the Jiang family's masters to the neighboring states and counties to buy a large number of tents, horses, grain and grass, medicinal materials, clothing, armor, and weapons......
The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.
Here, the squad was expanded, and dozens of squads based on 50 people were integrated at once to strengthen training and prepare to implement the harassment and crackdown plan.
"Well, if only there was more money. Looking at the Jiang family members who were practicing hotly, Tang Chun sighed.
"For the time being, we can finally get through it, but recovering Daozi County is a long-term process. If the war drags on for about a year, we won't have enough silver taels. Half of the 400,000 taels are now left. Maintain a reserve of up to four months. The biggest problem is that we still lack innate masters. Li Bei said.
"It's hard to find a master, the cost of inviting a congenital Great Perfection powerhouse is tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, and it's still on the battlefield, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people are still unwilling to come, so how can we afford it." Tang Chun said, "I mean I want to buy a few flying eagles, which can also be used in battle." Also, you have to build a few cannons, which are powerful to attack. ”
"Cannon, what is a cannon?" the fat man couldn't help but ask.
"It's something that can throw fist-sized gunpowder out of a huge cart and explode it over a long distance. The secret recipe I got from an ancient tomb, let's try to make one and see how powerful it is?" Tang Chun said, planning to make the kind of earthen cannon in the Qing Dynasty.
Tang Chun, who didn't have the ability to make the kind of precision-guided cannon in modern society, could still do it like the home-made cannon in the Qing Dynasty. Of course, Tang Chun's earthen cannon required a longer range and a more powerful explosion.
Otherwise, if you blow it up, you won't even be able to blow up a 10th-rank master with internal qi protection, and it's still useless. Moreover, the strong men of the seventh and eighth ranks in the army can throw gunpowder shells thousands of meters away even if they throw them with their hands, and there is no problem at all for the innate masters to throw them thousands of meters away.
Therefore, if the range is too short, it is a bit of a chicken rib. This guy took out the production drawings that had been pre-drawn a long time ago, and a few people got together and Tang Chun explained them in detail.
"This secret mechanism technique is so amazing, it can actually turn some iron bumps into expert attacks, powerful. The fat man exclaimed.
"It's better to add the internal qi refining technique, in this way, the strike force will be higher, and the range will be longer. Li Bei suggested. (To be continued......)
