Chapter six hundred and ninety-two if you want money or not, you will die
Huan Chong held the artillery piece that was still wet with tung oil, ran a few times, and quickly found its bearings.
Recalling what Wang Mi said just now, he was already sure that the method of use of this artillery was also a throwing type.
You can’t go wrong with this!
In addition, seeing the thick hemp rope, Huan Chong immediately thought of the simple explosive bags he had seen under Nanyang City.
It seems that the method of use of this thing must be to light the hemp rope and then ignite the gunpowder inside. Mr. Huan also figured out the method of use that others did not know.
The old man was full of confidence and took out the fire starter. When he saw the flame gradually ignited at the end of the hemp rope, the old man felt happy.
Let's go!
There is a gap between ideal and reality. When the operation is not ideal, the gap is not as big as usual. Now Mr. Huan has fully experienced it.
Although Huan Chong is an expert in archery, and his level of shooting from above and below is quite high, but before he acted in a hurry, he forgot that he was not good at the seemingly simple throwing.
He didn't even know how to accurately throw a spherical weapon.
According to his idea, he must throw this spherical weapon, the so-called artillery, as far as possible. Huan Chong had really seen the power of gunpowder, and he was in awe of this thing.
But the problem was that once he took action, the artillery began to lose control of him. His original intention was to throw the artillery high and then push it far away, and throw it into an entire open space in front of the southeast corner.
There are still a lot of free plots of land between the workshops inside the workshop. As long as he can throw the artillery into the open space, even Huan Chong, who is prone to trouble, is confident that there will be no problem.
However, when he raised the cannon, he suddenly felt a backward force that was too much for him to bear.
what happened?
This thing doesn’t weigh too much!
Hey!
I can’t control that much anymore!
When Huan Chong took action, although countless suppressed thoughts came out, he suppressed them all in reverse.
The artillery was released, and at the critical moment, it fell out in the completely opposite direction!
And in the completely opposite direction, behind Huan Chong, was a wing!
broken!
wrong!
All wrong!
In an instant, Huan Chong reacted.
We're in big trouble!
With a roaring sound, the cannon, which was not thrown very high, fell into the wing in an instant. Seeing that he was in trouble, Huan Chong immediately exposed his true nature.
You can cause trouble, but you must not be responsible for it!
Rub oil on the soles of your feet and he'll run away!
If this were in modern times, if it were replaced by grenades and sweet potato shells made in Italy, he would never have such a chance.
As a result of acting by chance, Mr. Huan must be the first to suffer the consequences.
However, the power of the completely hand-made artillery is really average. In addition, the fuses are not so standard. After being lit for a long time, the artillery has not exploded yet.
This gave Huan Chong time to escape.
At this time, Huan Chong's behavior was not so authentic.
You can cause trouble, but you can't just run away without giving everyone a reminder!
You can just call out!
Boom!
puff!
Loud noises were heard, accompanied by thick and acrid smoke, rising into the sky, tiles flying, walls falling, and houses collapsing.
what happened?
Wang Mi was startled, and subconsciously, he associated the loud noise with the artillery that had not yet been dried.
"Exploded!"
"Exploded!"
A loud noise broke out around people, and the crowd that was already crowded together was instantly in chaos.
Wang Mi rushed towards the place where the thick smoke was rising. In front of him was a group of low bungalows, some of which had their roofs cut off, and some of which collapsed.
There are about two or three bungalows affected by artillery in a series!
"Old General Huan!"
"Old General Huan!"
"Stand up, did you do this?"
Almost all the craftsmen came out to watch the fun. Wang Mi rushed into the half-collapsed room and took a look. Apart from some property damage, there were no casualties.
This is truly a blessing in misfortune.
Wang Mi and the others ran out of the house that was hit, and in the gradually dissipating smoke, Huan Chong's figure appeared.
I saw the old man holding his head and squatting in a corner of the workshop wall, trembling all over. Obviously, this was the instigator.
"Zhiyuan, I didn't do it on purpose!"
"I didn't know this thing was so powerful!"
"I just felt itchy for a moment, just...just..."
"Old General, I told you, this thing is very powerful and dangerous, why don't you listen? Besides, the tung oil hasn't dried yet, what are you worried about?"
When Bodhisattva sees such a situation, he will also get angry. How can Wang Mi be an exception?
With the help of several people, Huan Chong finally stood up. After a moment of trance, when he saw Wang Mi's face again, tears immediately came out.
"I did not do it on purpose!"
"Not intentional!"
"I'll just give you the money!"
"How much property has been lost, I will pay for it all!"
Sure enough, he is a general from Jingzhou!
Just rich and powerful!
Money can make all the difference, let alone ask for forgiveness!
"How much can General Huan give me?"
One, two, three, three, two, one. There were about three houses destroyed by one artillery piece. In addition, the nearby houses did not collapse and the overall structure was not damaged. Only some houses with roof tiles were shattered. After all, it was just
The usual money is almost enough.
These are houses for craftsmen. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you won't be able to find many valuable things. It's a pity!
“Money is a small thing!”
“No problem!”
If you have money, you can do whatever you want.
At the moment when Huan Chong announced that he was going to give money, all the noise and various voices of dissatisfaction just now disappeared in an instant.
Instead, there were all kinds of adoring looks.
Where did the old general come from? He is so wise!
"Of course I have to pay all the compensation!"
"The money to build the house and the wages of our brothers cannot be less than a copper!" Several young craftsmen shouted.
At the critical moment, it is for young people to stand at the front and fight for their interests!
Wang Mi was deeply pleased with their behavior. Faced with a rich man like Mr. Huan, he would not cheat without cheating!
"well!"
"It's a piece of cake, I'll give you the money!"
Huan Chong's hand reached for the money bag. Among all the people present, Huan Chong was not the only one who was a high official, and Huan Chong was not the only one who was rich and powerful.
But in terms of having the most cash in hand and spending the most generously, there is no one except Mr. Huan!
"I don't have any copper coins here, here you go!"
"One gold ingot for each person!"
From the open hands of the craftsmen, a medium-sized gold ingot appeared out of thin air. How is this possible?
Is there such a person being taken advantage of in this world?
What was the equivalent of a gold ingot in the Jin Dynasty?
Holding a gold ingot in your hand, you will have no problem eating and drinking for two months!
Less!
The hands are still not dark enough!
The craftsmen complained one after another.
"Old General, you are indeed very wealthy!"
Everyone received the money and left. Wang Mi put his arm around Huan Chong's shoulders and said with a smile.
"Of course!"
"If I didn't have this kind of financial resources, I wouldn't dare to cause such a big disaster!"
He is indeed a rich man from Jingzhou!
There was such pride in Huan Chong's eyes, it was really worth learning from a young man like him!
"If the general is not short of money, my house will be big and full. How about I make a few more artillery pieces for the general to play with?"
Huan Chong gasped, this boy has such a dark heart!
He waved his hands quickly: "I wouldn't dare!"
…………
In the Jianchun Palace, a cool breeze surrounded the table. There was a melon on the table. Sima Yao picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. His tasteless tongue did not feel the slightest hint of sweetness.
He sighed deeply: "I want to make money!"
The great eunuch Yuanbao, who had just returned from the palace, had just entered the palace gate when he heard this loud roar.
Suddenly, I broke out in a cold sweat. Your Majesty's move was really insulting to gentlemen...
"Your Majesty, King Langya has arrived."
Sima Yao's eyes lit up: "Please come in quickly!"
The money giver has finally arrived!
Nowadays, Sima Yao has no brotherly affection for Sima Daozi. In his eyes, Sima Daozi has transformed into a purebred golden pig!
In order to ask for money, Sima Yao, who had not given Sima Daozi a good look for a long time, suddenly burst into laughter. The more Daozi looked at him, the more terrified he became.
"Brother, why don't you come here with me? What's the important matter?"
There was a small deerskin mat in front of him. Sima Daozi glanced at it, but did not dare to sit down.
Sima Yao pulled him and he sat down.
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
"Eat the melon first!"
The melon cut into corners was still dripping with water. Watching Sima Daozi put the melon into his mouth one by one, and finally ate them all, Sima Yao spoke with satisfaction.
"Taozi!"
"Are you short of money recently?"
Sima Daozi was startled, and suddenly found that Sima Yao was looking at him with that kind and excited look.
Immediately I felt even more panicked.
"No shortage!"
"My brother is not short of money!"
Are you kidding me? Who dares to ask for money after this time?
Don't want to die?
There is no shortage!
Very good!
Sima Yao rubbed his hands, leaned forward, and came close to the tip of Sima Daozi's nose: "But, the eldest brother is short of money!"
"You see the Jingzhou army made a triumphant return and captured two important towns in Xinye and Nanyang. As a court, we should give some rewards!"
Sima Daozi gradually understood that rewards should indeed be given, but if you don't have money in your pocket, you don't have to force it.
"Brother, they deserve to win the battle!"
"How many defeats have Jingzhou soldiers suffered on the battlefield in Jiangbei over the years? How much national money was wasted?"
"Did our court ask them to pay back the money?"
King Langya is indeed very knowledgeable!
The logical system is so perfect that you won’t be convinced!
The army must be supported by the court, and those who serve the country only need to fight and attack!
If you can't win consecutive battles, why do you still need your old Sima family to be a facade?
Sima Yao blinked and was shocked by his brother's shameless remarks.
In the past, Sima Yao, who was extremely stingy, might have thought that his younger brother had a clever plan and immediately reached an agreement with him.
But it won’t happen now!
You are shameless, I cannot be more shameless than you!
I still want to sit on the throne!
"Let's put aside the matter of repaying the money for now. Now that they have won the battle, we can no longer hold on to the past mistakes and theories."
"That would make our Sima family look too unjust!"
Honesty, that is the top principle of the old Sima family in traveling around the world, and the people of the Sima family have always implemented it very well!
"Daozi, you are my younger brother. I only have one biological brother like you. It is said that brothers who work together are more powerful than gold. When I encounter difficulties, I naturally think of you."
"You won't support me!"
Sima Daozi was very embarrassed: "But, my brother doesn't have any money either!"
It’s impossible to have no money, but it’s true that you don’t want to pay!
It seemed that he still didn't realize how dangerous his situation was.
Sima Yao's eyes flashed, and his face changed instantly.
"Daozi, I'm just asking you to contribute a little money. As long as our Sima family stabilizes the country, if you want money, won't there be plenty of opportunities in the future?"
"In the future, whether I continue to be the emperor or you become the emperor, money will still circulate in our Sima family after all."
Sima Yao patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and then patted the throne behind him. He smiled very brightly. On the other side of his bright smiling face, big beads of sweat had already appeared on Daozi's forehead.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood!"
"My dear brother, I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"
"I support Your Majesty wholeheartedly and am willing to be your right-hand man. As long as Your Majesty needs it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Sima Daozi was lying on the ground. In front of his eyes, the glorious scenery of Wang Guobao in the past overlapped with his miserable death.
Wang Guobao is dead!
Although Sima Yao did not explicitly issue an edict to execute Wang Guobao, all ministers in the government and the public, who were neither deaf nor blind, knew about Wang Guobao's death.
Do you want to end up like Wang Guobao?
Although Sima Yao didn't say it clearly, his intention was already obvious.
"good!"
"Very good!"
"I knew that you and I must be of the same mind!"
Sima Yao opened his mouth and placed a tight curse on Sima Daozi.
I said we have one mind. We are one mind. Do you want to give birth to another mind?
Don’t even think about it!
"Then it's settled!"
"Tomorrow, take out 10,000 gold, and I will reward the Jingzhou soldiers!"
One...ten thousand...gold?
Countless stars flashed before Sima Daozi's eyes. He seemed to have heard the specific amount of money, but he seemed not to have heard it clearly at all.
I felt that my whole body was weak and I didn't want to hold on anymore, so my whole body collapsed.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Yuan Bao rushed forward, picked up Sima Daozi, and shook him desperately.
Sima Daozi closed his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth, looking extremely painful.
"Your Majesty, King Langya seems to have fainted!"
"Go quickly and invite the imperial doctor to treat His Highness!"
What's going on with this child?
Why is it so scary?
"Your Majesty, I'm not feeling well. I'm afraid I won't be able to get the money tomorrow. Please give me a few days of grace. When I feel better, I will definitely get the money in full."
Feeling Sima Yao holding his hand tightly, Sima Daozi opened his eyes and murmured, pretending to be pitiful.
Sima Yao smiled slightly: "Good brother, as long as you have this heart, eldest brother will be satisfied!"
"You don't have to worry. Recently, two new doctors came to the Imperial Medical Bureau. Their medical skills are quite good. As long as they check your pulse and drink a dose of medicine, they will be sure to cure the disease!"
"Don't say it's tomorrow, even today, you can walk out of Jianchun Palace standing up!"
God!
Can't live anymore!
Sima Daozi kicked his legs, he really wanted to die in front of Sima Yao right away!
