Even though Fang Chen felt that he didn't need much money now, he was still shocked.
Hu Yanzhuo looked at Hu Yanzhuo with his mouth open and said in disbelief: "An annual salary of one million taels? Is your Xijin Empire so rich?"
Hu Yanzhuo's attitude was sincere: "If Eunuch Fang feels it's not enough, we can discuss it again!"
Fang Chen was confused. If it’s not enough, we can still discuss it. He’s a big dog!
In the past few days since he came to this world, although he was in the palace, Fang Chen also had the memories of his former owner.
Food was relatively expensive in the Yan Dynasty, and even one tael of silver could buy two stones of rice.
One stone of rice is sixty kilograms, which means one tael of silver can buy one hundred and twenty kilograms of rice.
If you want to replace it with vegetables, there will be more.
Nowadays, the annual salary of the six ministers of the Yan Dynasty is two thousand shi of grain, one hundred catties of meat, and one thousand taels of silver.
One million taels of silver a year is enough to pay the salaries of all officials in the Yan Kingdom for a year.
This is too exaggerated!
Fang Chen was so shocked that he was a little moved. Looking at Hu Yanzhuo with a sincere face, he asked doubtfully: "Is it worth it for your Xijin Empire to spend so much money?"
Hu Yanzhuo's expression became serious: "Since Eunuch Fang knows what the black powder is, how can he not know its power?"
Fang Chen did not deny anything, and Hu Yanzhuo added: "The gunpowder you talked about, in fact, what we found at the beginning was not a dozen kilograms, but a full two hundred kilograms."
"So many!" Fang Chen was surprised.
Hu Yanzhuo nodded: "Over the years, our empire has sent people everywhere to search for people and travel to various countries, just like looking for someone who knows this thing. For six years, only you, Eunuch Fang, know it."
"Eunuch Fang, you're not going to say that you only know about gunpowder from books but don't know how to make it, right?"
Hu Yanzhuo smiled, and Fang Chen nodded: "Yes, I only know what it is, but I don't know how to make it."
Hu Yanzhuo smiled: "Father, there is no need to deceive yourself. I have been looking at you before I demonstrated the gunpowder. Your eyes betrayed you. Before I lit the gunpowder, everyone else was just curious. Only you knew what would happen next.
What's the matter?"
"The look in your eyes at that time was not that you were surprised about gunpowder, but that you were shocked at why gunpowder appeared. This shows that you have seen gunpowder before."
"And in your opinion, gunpowder should not appear in the hands of outsiders, so I can be sure that you have not only seen gunpowder, but also know how gunpowder is made!"
"Because when I mentioned that gunpowder was discovered from Taoist temples, you nodded. That means you know that gunpowder can be made. Right?"
Fang Chen was dumbfounded, these are all old foxes!
Didn’t we agree that all the supporting characters would be fucking two hundred and fifty?
Huyanzhuo smiled: "Your current reaction further confirms this. Eunuch Fang, please join our Xijin Empire!"
Fang Chen came back to his senses and shook his head: "Sorry, I can't."
Hu Yanzhuo was anxious: "Why! We in Xijin Kingdom can give you whatever you want!"
Fang Chen couldn't laugh or cry, this guy was so smart just now, why is he acting stupid again now.
This kind of thing can be done if I just tell you to go with you?
He was sure that as long as he nodded, neither he nor Hu Yanzhuo would survive tonight.
This is great inflammation!
Thinking about what Feng Gao and Ye Fan had said before, Fang Chen took a sip from the tea bowl, looked at the anxious Hu Yanzhuo, and said with a smile: "Maybe we can change the way?"
Hu Yanzhuo was stunned: "Another way?"
Fang Chen nodded.
"Special envoy, I might as well tell you straight. I can't agree to your request, and I can't promise it to you either. Because I, Fang Chen, am loyal to Great Yan wholeheartedly, and I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life for His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is my guiding light, Fang Chen! Only Your Majesty is good in the world! His Majesty's children are like treasures! I, Fang Chen, will never betray Your Majesty or Dayan!"
"I, Fang Chen, am your Majesty's man in life, and your Majesty's dead man in death!"
In a secret room somewhere.
Ye Fan was suspicious and turned to look at the people around him.
"Your Majesty, does Eunuch Fang know you are here?"
Luo Ningxin's eyes turned from the small hole, her face glowing red: "How is that possible! Unless you tell him."
"There is absolutely no such thing as this minister!" Ye Fan quickly denied.
Then he sighed: "I didn't expect that Eunuch Fang, a eunuch, would have such a high level of consciousness. He is such a loyal minister!"
"Hmph, if he dares to be unfaithful, I will kill him!" Luo Ningxin snorted and continued to look at Xiaokong.
In the lobby, Fang Chen was still showing his loyalty.
"With Your Majesty, my life has meaning..."
Huyanzhuo was shocked. He rubbed his eyes and thought he had seen it wrong.
At this moment, Fang Chen's whole body seemed to be emitting a supreme light, so bright that he couldn't even open his eyes.
For a moment, Hu Yanzhuo felt that he was so despicable! So shameless and obscene.
I am actually leading someone with such high moral standards and such loyalty to his country to betray his own country and his majesty!
I, Hu Yanzhuo, am really so inhuman!
Fang Chen! That’s so noble!
One is touching myself, the other is belittling me.
After a while, Fang Chen finished expressing his loyalty, and Ye Fan must have handed over his speech to Her Majesty the Empress.
Then he looked at Hu Yanzhuo: "Special envoy, although I can't make gunpowder for you, but!"
"Our Great Yan Dynasty can do it!"
Hu Yanzhuo was stunned. He had not escaped from his own despicability, and asked: "What, what do you mean?"
"It's very simple. Our Great Yan Dynasty sells you gunpowder. One pound of gunpowder costs one hundred taels of silver!" Fang Chen stretched out his finger.
You can burn charcoal by cutting down a tree, and you can use soil and saltpeter in toilets, not to mention sulfur.
Fang Chen felt that he still had too much conscience, so he abruptly changed the ten thousand taels into one hundred.
"Yan Guo came to make it, and we came to buy it." Hu Yanzhuo didn't react.
Fang Chen nodded: "Yes, you have money. We have goods. A win-win situation."
Hu Yanzhuo thought about it carefully and said, "I have to go back and inform His Majesty and others about this, and we can make a decision after some discussion. Grandpa Fang, do you think it's okay?"
"It's okay, I'm not the one selling it anyway." Fang Chen didn't care.
Instead, leave the formula to Her Majesty the Empress and let them get it themselves. As long as they can be promoted to power because of it, it will be enough.
"Okay then." Hu Yanzhuo could only nod helplessly.
Originally, he wanted to persuade Fang Chen to treason, but he never wanted to turn it into a business.
It's not my fault. It's really letting a person who loves his country so much betray his country.
So sinful!
Huyanzhuo was thinking in his mind, and at this time, Ye Fan arrived as if he was holding on to time: "Oh, Special Envoy Huyan, Eunuch Fang, the banquet is ready."
Fang Chen snorted in his heart, as expected, the old man must have been watching secretly.
Presumably Her Majesty the Empress will definitely give her a promotion if she knows that she is so loyal!
