Qin Meng didn't argue with Ding Liang, led the three Yang Sheng, surrounded Ding Liang, turned around and came to the outside of the city.
Ding Liang felt that something was wrong. According to Qin Meng's statement, he was going to see new things. In Ding Liang's impression, it was similar to Mo Dao Liannu, and it should be under absolute security control.
What's going on here? Did you get out of the city
With doubts, Ding Liang was taken by Qin Meng to the place where gunpowder was made.
Ding Liang nodded, and when he saw this alert, he knew that there must be good products inside.
I just wanted to go in, but was stopped by Qin Meng.
"Da Xihao, go in and get some firecrackers out." Qin Meng ordered.
Da Xihao said yes, walked to the guardsman, said something, entered it, and took out a few firecrackers.
Ding Liang sniffed his nose: "What's the matter, Qin Meng, I've all walked here. Don't let me go in and have a look, it's not clear what is going on."
Qin Meng smiled and said, "Big Brother, you have misunderstood this. It is a long way to test this stuff. You will know in a while."
Ding Liang frowned and couldn't say anything. They could only follow Qin Meng's four to a very secluded place.
"Yang Sheng, you go." Qin Meng said as he quietly hid behind Ding Liang.
Ding Liang still didn't know where the account was. He watched Yang Sheng walk out a long way, put the firecrackers, and then took out the firecrackers, blew the fire, and lit the long lead outside the firecrackers.
As the lead was ignited, sparks splashed everywhere. Looking at Yang Sheng, he ran back with Qin Meng, Da Xihao, and Dou Luyuan. They all hid behind Ding Liang.
Qin Meng looked at the fuse and said when he was about to burn out, "Brother, be careful, this thing sounds like thunder."
Ding Liang turned his head and found that Qin Meng’s four cats were lying on their waists and covering their ears. He was about to laugh at the four of them for being timid, but suddenly he heard a loud bang, which made him tremble a few times in shock. Did not sit on the ground.
Looking back again, Ding Liang found that smoke and dust billowed in the place where the firecrackers were placed, and a square pit appeared on the dirt.
"Brother, brother, hello, brother, are you okay?" Qin Meng gently pushed Ding Liang, crying like a soul.
After a long while, Ding Liang reacted and pointed at Qin Meng and cursed: "You guys are too awkward. You guys all know that this thing is so loud. You hid them in advance just to see me startled, right? "
Qin Meng looked innocent, and said, "Brother, that's not what I said? I remember clearly, I said just now, the sound is thunderous, you don't believe it."
Ding Liang babbled for a long time, and didn't find out what to say to Qin Meng, so he could only roll his eyes a few consecutive times and gave it to Qin Meng fiercely.
Qin Meng smiled very flatteringly: "Brother, this thing is tentatively named Firecrackers. I am going to use it in this way. We can improve our crossbow. You can fire crossbow arrows, or use firecrackers after igniting the firecrackers. The crossbow and crossbow are fired. With your brain, imagine that when you face the Turkic cavalry, this thing is dragged by hundreds. Our horses have been trained to adapt to the sound of thunder, and the opponent's horses will not adapt. Is it still necessary to fight? Think? Think, brother, you can't imagine it, right?"
Ding Liangzai tilted his head and thought for a moment. Indeed, what Qin Meng said was really going to happen. Not to mention that the other party was shocked by the war horse, and he was so scared to death. When the time comes, you really don't have to work hard, just go straight up and behead people to get the credit.
Qin Meng saw that Ding Liang's expression moved greatly and knew that he had been attracted.
"Brother, brother, I really want to share the results of this research with my brother. But, you know, this stuff burns money. If you are not really struggling, how can you be embarrassed to talk to your brother? How much is fifty thousand taels of silver? It’s a little bit, so, at a 40% discount, you lend the little brother thirty thousand taels of silver, and the little brother uses the firecrackers as collateral to repay it slowly. This, this is absolutely fair."
"Fair? Absolutely? Fart!" Ding Liang said with a painful look: "You are just holding someone's seven inches and fixing it to death. You said you would add a little bit less on the cost, even if it doubled, it's all Understandable. But you are so big a lion! You eat big meaty bones and eat them, and you don't even leave any special bones and scum."
"Brother, let's not lose our identity, okay? The business is not righteous, how can the younger brother be so unbearable? Isn't this borrowed from you? You are too expensive, let's stop there. Brother, you can rest assured, as long as the younger brother has more money, this Things are given to you for nothing, this, this assembly, right?"
Ding Liang swiped his hand and said, "Fuck! Special, when you have more money, it is estimated that our Da Sui army will be equipped with special equipment. Forget it, Lao Tzu was born with such a fate. Qin Meng, Wu Weisan Regarding the county affairs, what do you like to do, don't bother me so much. I, I want to find a way."
Qin Meng hand-held a smile and said, "Brother. You don't want to be a middleman again and make the difference?"
Ding Liang's big eyeballs stared: "I don't make a difference, where can I make so much money? What you special is raised by your own mother, we cry and make a lot of money. We are raised by stepmothers, cry Give it a try? It's a good thing not to be beaten. What's so special, who wants to be a middleman? Isn't it forced by your unscrupulous profiteer!"
With that said, Ding Liang hummed and turned and left.
Qin Meng hurriedly stopped: "Brother, brother, wait, you are holding the firecrackers, you are a middleman, why do you have to have some samples? The things are good, isn't it easy for you to make the difference?"
Ding Liang turned around and furiously brought the firecrackers. Looking at Qin Meng, he wanted to start cursing, but finally endured it and left with a sigh.
Yang Sheng looked at Ding Liang who was going away, and whispered: "Sir, is this a bit too authentic?"
Qin Meng raised his face and said, "You're really right, it's not authentic. But I don't pick money from people who are in urgent need. Where can I pick it? With money, there will be results, and there will be results, so we can crush. The fighting power of the Turks, overwhelming the Turks, can our brothers make contributions, and the northern border of the Great Sui can be peaceful. This is a win-win situation for all the ministries of the Great Sui. In this way, the methods are not more authentic and can be ignored."
The three of Yang Sheng looked at each other, always feeling that Qin Meng's words were problematic, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it.
Qin Meng suddenly became solemn: "Yang Sheng. The three of you go to Master Guan to help him lead local affairs. The selected officials are familiar to you. After they have been trained, you can use them to stand alone. Now, the border trade will start immediately. You must think of everything you can think of. Do it well in advance. What I ask is that once the border trade starts, the management of all parties must be in place and there must be no omissions."
The three Yang Sheng bowed their heads and went to find Guan Xiang.
Qin Meng got into a firecracker production workshop, and he had to get this stuff quickly. When the middleman Ding Liang starts to make a business, don't make the supply exceed demand.
Fortunately, the production of gunpowder does not have the extremely high craftsmanship like Mo Dao Lian Nu.
The main problem is to be patient and pay attention to safety.
In addition, storage and transportation must be strictly waterproof. Not only can it not be touched with water, even if it is wet, it will directly affect the use.
In addition, the firecrackers are really fired with the improved continuous crossbow, which must be finished in craftsmanship.
The firecrackers themselves are not too problematic.
What needs to be improved is the lead.
You can make the firecrackers as big as you want, but the leads are different, they are thinner, and it is required that there must be no breaks when the firecrackers are fired at high speeds.
In the experiment, because of the high-speed flight, many firecrackers were misfired. Analysis of the cause is the problem of the lead wire.
Later, the artisans in the gunpowder workshop used thin twine viscose, and when the glue of the twine was half dry, it was covered with gunpowder, and then the thin twine covered with gunpowder was tightly wrapped with wax paper, and the thin twine was tightly tied with a thin thread outside. . Only then solved the problem of lead wire.
Qin Meng has always rewarded such whimsical ideas. Throw out a dozen silvers directly, and commend them wildly. If anyone has a similar novel idea and is adopted by the workshop, he will be rewarded equally.
Qin Meng almost forgot about the outside affairs, soaked in the gunpowder workshop all day long.
On this day, the workshop guard came to report, and Guan Xiang asked to see you.
Qin Meng hurried out and asked Guan Xiang what had happened.
Guan Xiang arched his hands and said: "My lord, the imperial commissioner sent people to inspect Wuwei's government affairs. I have already arrived at the government office. You have to go and see you."
Qin Meng felt his brain hurt, he had heard Ding Liang say. The one who patrolled the local government affairs in the northern border was General Zhu Guoyuan. He sent someone over. It was definitely not a matter of routine.
"Isn't General Ding Liang restraining the three counties of Wuwei? General Ding should also be the receptionist when you see people. Why are you looking for me?" Qin Meng wanted to put this matter off.
Guan Xiangyi grinned: "My lord, General Ding doesn't care about everything. He hasn't seen anyone in his humble position for several days. Moreover, the imperial mission knows what's going on here. Although you didn't mention your name, Every word implies, let you pass by yourself."
Qin Meng felt a little bit tricky, even if he was white, but Wuwei should manage it and make decisions from him. The people below know it, and the people above know it.
When asked about local government affairs, he didn't come forward. It was really unreasonable.
"Go, let's go and will go."
It was a blessing, not a misfortune, but a misfortune could not be avoided, but Qin Meng relaxed.
Guan Xiang didn't rush to follow Qin Meng, but he groaned a little and said, "My lord, you are still a bit ready. The person sent by the imperial commission looks like they are here to find faults, and they will talk to you directly. There have been conflicts."
"There is a conflict? No? The imperial missions should all be from the capital, no matter how much I can make a direct conflict with the people from the capital?" Qin Meng thought for a while, and felt it was impossible.
"My lord, do you remember Yuan Mi? The person sent by the imperial commissioner is him."
"Yuan Mi?" Qin Meng was taken aback. This guy, the conflict with him was not an ordinary conflict, it was a terrible conflict that directly slapped the face.
However, didn't Yuan Mi follow Changsun Sheng as an envoy to Turk? He is the leader of Changsun Sheng's guard, how could he suddenly appear in Wuwei and become the man who stood before the current imperial envoy? (End of this chapter)
