Scared away

Han Zhongwei's guards were well-trained and buried five mines in the designated area soon, and are now waiting to be detonated. Two of the five mines this time were triggered, and the other three were pull-ringed.

"The two on the left must be pressed up before they will detonate. The three on the right will explode as soon as they pull the wire in my hand. The sound will be loud and dust will be flying. Can you see clearly?" Han Zhongwei took the thin wire brought by the guard and asked Wanyan Xun, and this would be three hundred pillars.

"No problem, Master, can you let me pull it?" Wanyan Xun didn't care about these 300 knots. Now he just wants to know how powerful this mine is to explode together.

"Of course there is no problem. Since that's the case, then wait until I stay away." Han Zhongwei knew the power of his landmines. A few grams of black gunpowder could expand the air more than ten thousand times. What about the three kilograms of black gunpowder? Moreover, there were so many "materials" added inside, so he didn't want to suffer a disaster.

"Boom boom boom"

Wanyan Xunli's explosion point was about thirty feet. This stupid * actually stood and pulled the mine, but it was overturned to the ground by the air waves.

"You kid, don't say you have been with me in the future. You don't have any military knowledge. In the face of the extremely powerful firearm, your martial arts are nothing. You can't even lie down. You are not like you who are looking for death." Han Zhongwei rushed over immediately. He didn't expect Wanyan Xun to be so arrogant. Fortunately, he was rough and bad, and he was not seriously injured.

"It's so satisfying, Master, I'll buy as much as you like this landmine, the price is not a problem." Wanyan Xun was already very happy and stupid. He was thirty feet away from the explosion site, but he was overturned to the ground. It can be imagined that if he stood in the center of the explosion, there would be no life to survive.

"Does your Jin Kingdom have too much money to use? You don't even pay the price of a landmine of 100 yuan per landmine?" Han Zhongwei originally thought that he was a lion and said loudly, but Wanyan Xun was very rich and he had no choice. He originally wanted to give him a discount, but at least he had to give him a 50% discount. As a result, this power really made Wanyan Xun too satisfied and he didn't pay the price at all.

"Master, you are a thing that is priceless. Don't say 100 coins, even 200 coins or 500 coins, I have to buy it." Wanyan Xun was not afraid that Han Zhongwei would regret it, so he said what he said in his heart.

"Can I raise the price now?" Han Zhongwei felt that his heart was indeed bleeding. It turned out that the lion spoke in front of him, just jumping off the building and waving the price. If he had known this, it would have been better to quote 200 guan. If you bought ** like this, you would have to make a profit quickly and you would have to make a lot of money by printing and paying money by yourself.

"A gentleman says a word, a quick horse whip. Master, you are a master and elder. How can you take back what you say?" Wanyan Xun said with a smile.

"One hundred steadi is 100 steadi. It's important to be content." Han Zhongwei laughed. One hundred steadi is about the salary of an ordinary person for two years. If he can sell landmines with a cost of no more than two steadi to 100 steadi. Han Zhongwei should be content.

"Master, do you think this landmine is really worth 100 cents?" Although Wanyan Xun didn't care about the money, he was not really stupid. Han Zhongwei looked so furious that he didn't know that he had become a surrender again?

"Why, if you don't treat a gentleman, you should be a villain?" Han Zhongwei glared at him and said angrily.

"How dare I? I only brought 100,000 yuan this time. At such a price from my master, I may only buy 1,000 mines." Wanyan Xun said with a smile. At this time, he also knew that 100 yuan per mine could be called a sky-high price, but as Han Zhongwei said, a gentleman's word is as good as a horse, and this transaction can only be priced at 100 yuan per mine. But the next transaction may not be certain. At that time, find someone who is good at speaking and bargaining with him, and maybe you can buy it at half the price.

"One thousand coins are too little. Let's trade it when you have enough one million coins." Han Zhongwei knew that Wanyan Xun had the intention of going against his will. One hundred coins was enough for ordinary people to use for two years. Now he would buy an iron lump weighing several kilograms. It would be strange if he could think about it.

"No, Master, now landmines are really indispensable to my big gold. Don't say a thousand pieces, even a hundred pieces, I have to buy them back. Didn't the master just now say that the mines are out of stock? Why did you suddenly think that a thousand pieces of landmines are too few?" Wanyan Xun was anxious. Han Zhongwei's meaning was very clear. If you want to buy, it would be starting with 10,000 pieces, otherwise there would be no talk.

"Who is your master? You also come to me for a thousand landmines? You, the big gold prince, don't feel embarrassed. I also feel lost. I don't collect paper money, only cash. When will you send the money to Chengdu and then talk about the next thing?" Han Zhongwei sarcastically said, "Wanyan Xun ruined his good deeds tonight and did not let him get any more blood. How can Han Zhongwei be satisfied?

One million guan? If all are copper coins, then hundreds of cars will be needed. Even if you use gold and silver, you will have dozens of cars. What's more, the emperor's younger brother gave him the task to buy 60,000 landmines, and if all at this price, he would get 6 million guan. Half of the treasury of the gold would fall into Han Zhongwei's bag.

If Wanyan Xun had no concept of more or less for one hundred and ten thousand coins, he was still clear about the difference between one million coins and one hundred thousand coins. He even understood how huge the difference between six million coins and six hundred thousand coins was. Moreover, the most serious Han Zhongwei did not want to pay money, he wanted cash. Now in the Jin Dynasty, the money he had to pay money for can only be exchanged for 600 to 650 copper coins, but this one million coins would have to pay money for 1.5 million coins to get it back.

Wanyan Xun returned to Jin Kingdom the next day. He knew that he might be too reckless in his work this time. Although Han Zhongwei agreed to sell landmines, the price... Alas, I think it's terrible to think about it. Six million coins will cost 6 million coins. This number has made him a little dizzy. Although he also knew that the price would eventually drop, landmines are now a seller's market. Looking at the world, there is no other place except Han Zhongwei.

Sometimes Wanyan Xun really wants to go to Heicheng to tie a few craftsmen who made landmines in Dake Cement Factory back to Jin Kingdom. No matter how much the price it pays, it will not exceed six million guan.

Han Zhongwei felt very proud when he saw Wanyan Xun going back in a mess. Do you still dare to be rich and arrogant? If you dare to disturb me, I will dare to let your Jin Kingdom go bankrupt.

Of course, Han Zhongwei did not return to the military camp the next day. He had to continue to complete the "great cause" that he did not complete last night. But as soon as he arrived at the commander's office today, he was called to the study by Zhao Yanyu, and he didn't even see Zhao Yuting's shadow.

"Last night, there were several loud noises in the northeast direction of the city, but what are you doing?" Zhao Yanyu asked immediately as soon as he entered the study. Last night, he wanted to ask Han Zhongwei that Wanyan Xun was the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom and the eldest brother of the emperor Wanyan Jing. He came to Chengdu Prefecture to find Han Zhongwei in person. It must be very important. However, last night, Han Zhongwei's eagerness made him anxiously drive Han Zhongwei out of the mansion. Later, when he thought about it, he realized that things were not normal. Later, he heard the loud noise, which reminded him of Wanyan Xun's intention to come to Chengdu.

"No," Han Zhongwei nodded. He did not mean to hide Zhao Yanyu. Now Zhao Yanyu and Han Luzhou have formed an alliance. Coupled with his marriage with Zhao Yuting, the alliance is even stronger. Han Zhongwei no longer wants to hide some things.

"That's the mine Wanyan Xun wants?" Zhao Yanyu was shocked. The loud noise last night was heard by people from all over Chengdu Prefecture. Early this morning, many people came to ask if they should send people to the northeast to find out. He temporarily suppressed this matter before he saw Han Zhongwei.

"No, I didn't expect that the night could be so far away." Han Zhongwei didn't expect that the sound could be so clear as five or six miles away from the city.

In fact, this is related to the era at this time. There were no people on the streets of Chengdu Prefecture at night. The whole city seemed extremely quiet. The explosion of the mine was so huge that it was not an exaggeration to spread for about ten miles.

"What exactly is that landmine that makes such a loud noise?" Although Zhao Yanyu is not a professional military talent, he was the Minister of Works before. The firearms of the Song Dynasty were all made under his supervision. As far as he knew, there should be no firearms in the entire Song Dynasty that could make such a loud noise.

"Landmines are like my Song Dynasty's thunderbolt cannon and iron cannon, but they are even more powerful and are buried underground. As long as a person or horse is stepped on, it will explode immediately. People of ten feet will die or die." Han Zhongwei was talking about ordinary landmines. If it were the mines that were last night, there would be no hope of survival within thirty feet.

"In other words, it was a firearm buried underground? It was so powerful. Why had I never heard of it?" Zhao Yanyu, as a former Minister of Works, still knew what kind of firearm there was in the Song Dynasty. This was indeed the first time he heard the name of landmines.

"Because that was invented by the last general." Han Zhongwei smiled and said. Weapons like landmines will definitely be promoted by the Song army in the future. However, the output is not very high now. In addition to supplying its own guards, they cannot be sold in large quantities. For example, Wanyan Xun costs 60,000 at a time, and Han Zhongwei really can't get it out for a while. But he can still squeeze out ten thousand landmines.

"You invented it?" Zhao Yanyu widened his eyes, looking like he couldn't believe it. He still knew what Han Zhongwei had. He only heard that he could do business and had a fortune, but he never heard that he could invent a firearm? And it was the most powerful firearm today.

Zhao Yanyu was the former Minister of Works of the Song Dynasty. The firearms of the Song Dynasty were excellent in the world. The firearms that surpassed the power of the Song Dynasty must be the most powerful firearms in the world.

"If Lord Zhao doesn't believe it, I can try it on the spot." Han Zhongwei said with a smile. In fact, this kind of firearm can be sold to the Song Dynasty now. For most officials in the Song Dynasty, being able to defend their current territory is the greatest victory. If they knew that there were such a powerful defensive firearm, they would definitely compete to buy it, even if it cost a lot.

"Take me to see now." How could Zhao Yanyu not understand the power of this. If he could bring this most powerful firearm into the court, it would be possible for him to return to the capital. Even becoming a priest may not be true.

In order not to cause riots, Han Zhongwei found a farther and more remote place. He buryed two landmines and then drove a group of sheep to step on the mine. With two loud bangs, none of the twenty sheep bought in the nearby village survived, and all died. Except for the few sheep on the edge who were shocked to death, the sheep in the center could not find a complete one, and they all turned into piles of minced meat.

A hundred feet later, Zhao Yanyu was deeply shocked by this scene. Fortunately, Han Zhongwei had already let him dismount in advance. His horse had not received special training. Hearing such a loud voice, the horse raised his front hooves high and almost pulled the soldier holding the reins to the ground.

"Sir Zhao, go and see how the effect is?" Han Zhongwei gently pushed Zhao Yanyu, who was stunned. Originally, Han Zhongwei was still thinking about finding a way to recommend his firearm to the Song Dynasty court. Today, he finally came up with a good idea. Let Zhao Yanyu be the salesman for him, and he would definitely not disappoint him.

"Okay... OK." Zhao Yanyu was pushed by Han Zhongwei, and then he woke up from the shock. Two landmines killed dozens of sheep. If it were dozens of people, it would probably be the same.

The first thing that caught Zhao Yan's eyes was the sheep that were killed by the outermost area. Although there were no wounds on their bodies, blood flowed out from their seven orifices. In order to make him see clearly, Han Zhongwei cut the sheep open, and saw that all the organs inside were shattered and all were blood clots.

When you walk inside, it is like you arrive at a slaughterhouse. After all, it is full of sheep's internal organs and pieces of meat. The more you go in, the thinner it becomes. Only half of it will go, and Zhao Yan's official boots under his feet will be soaked red by the sheep's blood.

"Zhongwei, how much does this landmine cost?" Zhao Yanyu had passed the shock period now, but he entered the excitement period again. If such a firearm with power and efficacy could be controlled by the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would probably no longer have to worry about the attacks of the Jin and Xixia? As long as the Song Dynasty buried enough mines on the border, the Jin and Xixia would have to fill it with their lives, otherwise they would not have thought of entering the Song Dynasty again.

"Twenty cents." Han Zhongwei pretended to be calculating and thought about it before saying it out.

"Twenty stakes? It's too expensive. What if it was made by the Ministry of Industry?" Zhao Yanyou asked.

"Maybe more expensive." Han Zhongwei continued. If the Song Dynasty made it by itself, it would only be to make the shell and iron nails and sheets inside. As for the most critical black gunpowder, Han Zhongwei would not be able to provide the formula. Although he was also from the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty belonged to the Zhao family after all, and he did not need to save money for the Zhao family. Besides, his friendship with them was not yet at this level.

"Why?" Zhao Yanyu asked in confusion.

"Will the efficiency of the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works really be higher than that in private workshops? It costs twenty cents of money for me to ask someone to make it myself. If the Ministry of Works does it, it is impossible to make it without thirty cents." Han Zhongwei knew that if he wanted to sell it to Dasong at a good price, he had to convince Zhao Yanyu first, and that he couldn't have any trouble with this matter. He had to be like a horse, and he couldn't even let others know that the mine was his own.

"What you said is somewhat reasonable. Zhongwei, if the court wants to buy you such landmines, I wonder how much it will cost?" Zhao Yanyu originally didn't want to talk about these minor matters, but landmines, such firearms, are too important to him and have to ask.

"How about thirty cents?" Han Zhongwei thought for a while, and then said helplessly. Although it seemed helpless on the surface, Han Zhongwei was already full of joy. Thirty cents? This is more than ten times the profit. Moreover, no one would only buy dozens or hundreds of pieces, but often buy thousands or tens of thousands of pieces. This kind of money-making speed is faster than printing counterfeit money. Now Han Zhongwei despises his original behavior, so why do you have to do such illegal and disorderly things? How good is it to be the king of war directly?

But if it weren't for the huge wealth that the fake money had brought to him, Han Zhongwei might still be making primitive accumulations for himself now.

"Thirty stakes? Ten thousand pieces will cost 300,000 pieces, and ten thousand pieces will cost 3 million pieces. No, it's too expensive, too expensive." Zhao Yanyu did some calculations casually, and the figures he obtained scared himself. Han Zhongwei's landmine ten thousand pieces per year, and that ten thousand pieces will cost 10,000 pieces. This kind of profit speed is too fast.

"How about Lord Zhao discussing with my father before setting the price?" Han Zhongwei said with a smile. Anyway, he had already said the cost to twenty cents. Even if he sold it to the court at the cost, he would have made a fortune.

"Okay, I'll write a memorial to return to Beijing." Zhao Yanyu said.

"Please don't mention landmines in the memorial, let alone say that this was made by me, otherwise it will cause great trouble to the last emperor." Han Zhongwei hoped that Zhao Yan would leave early. As long as he left, Zhao Yuting would have the final say in the control of the envoy, and he would be able to... Hehe.

For his future, Zhao Yanyu ignored the politeness of Han Zhongwei and asked him to go back to the military camp first, and wrote a memorial immediately. At this time, Zhao Yanyu was no longer in the mood to create any chance of meeting Han Zhongwei and his daughter. Anyway, they were engaged, even if they could not meet now, wouldn’t they live together every day after marriage? In contrast, it seems that their future is more important.

Zhao Yanyu did not expect that Han Zhongwei was even more anxious than himself. In order to get the news that he had left Chengdu Prefecture accurately, Han Zhongwei even sent guards to monitor the commander's office. As soon as Zhao Yanyu left Chengdu, he would come to the barracks to report. When Zhao Yanyu left Chengdu, it was the day when Han Zhongwei returned to the commander's office.

The communication of military orders and government orders of the Song Dynasty used the relay of the relay shops, and this system was also adopted by the Jin Dynasty. The relay shops were actually the post station that was often heard in later generations. When the previous messenger arrived at the post station, the post station provided the horses to change and then continued to move forward. In the case of emergency, the horses were replaced but not the persons were replaced.

The military orders and government orders of the Song Dynasty were divided into three levels. The highest level was the golden card. The words written on it were not allowed to enter the shop. Eight big golden characters were allowed to be sent in one day. Five hundred miles were required to be sent in one day. Below the gold medal was a green card and a red card. When it came to the red card, it was only required to be sent out three hundred miles a day. Those who sent the orders could have a meal and take a bath. Generally, the military orders of the Privy Council were mostly red cards to convey.

This time, Zhao Yanyu's memorial was conveyed by a red card. As soon as the person in the foot shop left, Han Zhongwei received the news. Now Han Zhongwei is just waiting for when the court will reply to Zhao Yanyu.
