Under the deliberate guidance of the authorities, the implementation of banknotes was relatively smooth.
Except for some aristocratic families with the ability to mint money, they jumped out and jumped around, but they were quickly suppressed.
More than a dozen of the top aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty support it, so what can you do if you disagree?
Moreover, Wei Cheng's style of doing things is unquestionable. Thinking about the Wang family whose family was exterminated, these people suddenly stopped.
The other is the cancellation of bills, which to a certain extent can be regarded as a reorganization of the market order. There will inevitably be some bumps in the process.
Fortunately, Wei Cheng asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to make it widely known that all bills would be recovered at equal value before the middle of the year, so as to avoid causing public resentment.
After May, time is like running water, and I can’t stop it even if I want to.
During this period, Wei Cheng stayed in Dingjunfang.
It mainly teaches driving skills. Dongfeng Mengshi is a high-horsepower model, so driving requires a person who is bold and careful.
Wei Cheng only knows how to drive manual transmission cars. In terms of driving skills, he is probably not as good as Mu Mu.
But that didn't stop him from teaching Zhang Fei and others, and then letting them practice on their own.
Anyway, the only advantage of this car is that it is durable. Especially this kind of exported car, which is specially supplied to the Ministry of Defense of Zimbabwe. The quality is much better than that of domestic civilian use. It can hit the two-foot-thick brick wall easily.
As for practicing driving skills, there is nothing messy, just drive, drive for seven or eight hours every day, until you vomit.
This is also the reason why Wei Cheng did not return to China. In just over half a month, he purchased nearly fifty tons of gasoline...
Buzz~
Dingjunfang opened a separate driving school, where several Mengshi competed with each other's skills.
The small bridge built with two logs is just big enough for the wheels to pass. If you are not careful, the car will fall down.
】
Several drivers carefully poked their heads out to check, all with serious expressions, not daring to be careless.
On the other side, there were also several Mengs, which easily knocked through a bunch of artificially arranged debris, and then made a beautiful side drift.
Zhang Fei opened the door and came down, laughing and saying: "I am number one again. Don't drink any of the wine tonight. It's all for me."
Several young people aged 17 or 18 looked at each other. As the leaders of the younger generation, how could they give up easily.
"I'm not convinced. Let's do it again. This time I will definitely surpass you." Yuan Xi shouted.
Because of his father's relationship, Yuan Xi was lucky enough to be selected into the Imperial Knights.
But after he came in, he discovered that everyone here was a monster, either a strong man with extraordinary personal power, or a talented person with clever tricks. After staying with these people for a long time, he seemed more and more incompetent and wanted to prove himself more and more.
.
However, Zhang Fei had no time to talk to him.
He glanced at it and said with a smile: "Practice hard. We will fight again tomorrow. I will go practice shooting first, haha."
When Yuan Xi heard this, he clenched his fists angrily. He really couldn't figure out why he would lose to this gangster at the same starting point. It was obvious that everyone was in contact with each other.
"Could it be that Mr. Wei secretly gave them some trouble?" a young man said in a low voice.
The others were stunned, and Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "Don't say such nonsense in the future. Mr. Wei, how can you say whatever you want?"
Several people were resentful. They could look down on the background of Zhang Fei and others, but they could not look down on Yuan Xi.
They are both the top aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty, and the names of the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family are really resounding.
···
Here, Zhang Fei walked into the room and saw Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang playing chess.
He asked curiously: "Didn't you say that Mr. Wei is also here?"
Sima Yi raised his head and glanced at him without answering; Zhuge Liang smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "General Zhang, you can go to the fort to have a look. Mr. Wei has just passed by."
Zhang Fei cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much."
After a pause, he looked at Sima Yi and teased: "Young man, you have lost more than ten games, how dare you play with him?"
Veins appeared on Sima Yi's forehead.
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.
Fazheng and others who were reading military books next to them also covered their mouths, wanting to laugh but not daring to make a sound.
Only Zhang Fei grinned and liked to see Sima Yi deflated.
I'll make you so arrogant, you idiot, hahaha.
After hitting Sima Yi, Zhang Fei ran to the fort.
The so-called fort is actually a high ground compacted with mounds of earth, where the two Type 60 122mm cannons bought by Wei Cheng were placed.
When they saw Zhang Fei approaching, many people clasped their fists in greeting.
Zhang Fei returned the salute and walked closer, curiously looking at Huang Xu, Tai Shici and others who were following the instructions.
Wei Cheng took the trouble to recite the contents of the manual over and over again. In fact, if it was just a launch, it was quite simple.
The difficulty with this thing is aiming. After all, the target is too far away. No matter how good your eyesight is, you need to go through precise calculations to accurately hit the target unit.
Wei Cheng, who explained patiently, also found that he had been careless. When he bought it, he was so cool that he completely ignored how difficult it was to operate.
There are only twenty cannonballs purchased, and each one is extremely precious. If one cannon shot hits a ditch, it will really be like a meat bun beating a dog.
"Forget it, let the people in the strategy team study this thing. It might be easier for them to understand what a parabola is. You guys don't even understand what a parabola is." Wei Jun finally gave up.
Huang Xu and others looked at each other in embarrassment, not knowing how to refute.
Wei Cheng glanced at Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "Yide is here. What, do you want to be the first one to fire off the cannon?"
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up and he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "How dare you disobey me!"
Wei Cheng smiled mysteriously. He was someone who had experienced the power of a cannon at close range. He was looking forward to seeing Zhang Fei, who was as bold as a tiger, screaming in embarrassment.
"Artillery squad."
"arrive!"
Huang Xu, Tai Shici and other nine people shouted loudly.
Wei Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Finally confirm whether the tripod and the gun port meet the firing conditions."
"yes!"
The division of labor among the nine people was clear, and three people came forward to check each other in groups. After confirming that there were no problems, they reported to Wei Cheng.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wei Cheng looked at Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "Then, don't say I didn't give you a chance, you will press the launch button soon."
Zhang Fei couldn't help but breathe a little faster. He had already tried all the weapons Wei Cheng upgraded this time.
Only this big guy, everyone has been curious about it for more than half a month, and today they can finally open their eyes.
Dingjunfang is located in the north of Luoyang City, about twenty miles away from Beimang Mountain.
At this time, the cannon was aimed in the direction of Beimang Mountain. For fear of someone cutting woodcutters there, Wei Cheng asked Huang Xu to control the drone to confirm. After confirming that no one was there, he signaled to Zhang Fei that he could launch.
However, when Zhang Fei turned around and found that except for the people in the artillery squad, everyone else had followed Wei Cheng a few dozen steps away and covered their ears, he instantly realized something was wrong.
But it was too late to regret. Zhang Fei took a deep breath, glanced at the launch button, gritted his teeth, and pressed it directly.
boom!
Huge flames exploded from the muzzle of the cannon. Even Huang Xu and other artillery squadrons, who had been prepared, were so frightened that their hearts skipped a beat.
Not to mention Zhang Fei, who was tricked by Wei Cheng into firing.
Not only was the muzzle fire astonishing, but the powerful recoil and the shock wave from the gun's recoil were enough to make him drink a pot.
After the violent smoke and dust passed, Zhang Fei took a mouthful of sand and looked back at Wei Cheng, looking helpless.
Wei Cheng and others looked at him, holding their stomachs and laughing wildly.
After laughing, Wei Cheng immediately came forward to check the footage returned by the drone.
Regardless of accuracy, the cannon directly opened a large crater on the hillside twenty miles away. Visually, the range of the explosion was more than 100 meters, and many trees fell to the ground. Fortunately, it did not cause a mountain fire.
Wei Cheng smiled with satisfaction and said: "With just one shot like this, the city gate tower can be completely destroyed."
Everyone nodded with Yu Ji, and at the same time a sense of awe arose in their hearts. The weapons developed by Wei Cheng were becoming more and more powerful.
There's a lot of movement here, it's a cannon after all.
Not long after, a large number of people gathered at the entrance of Dingjunfang, asking what happened.
Wei Cheng didn't let anyone explain. Anyway, in less than two days, someone would discover the big hole in Beimang Mountain.
···
Xie's Manor.
It is not a big house in the city, but a newly built village located in the east of the city very close to the hot spring villa.
Mr. Xie has always felt restless in recent days. I don't know why, but there is always a roar in his mind.
That day he was fishing leisurely by the river. It was a beautiful and sunny day.
It was a very pleasant time, but because of a sudden explosion, he stepped on the air and fell into the water.
Fortunately, the accompanying housekeeper found him in time and rescued him from the water, otherwise his life would have been lost.
He always felt uneasy because of this matter in the past few days, and it was useless to ask Wu Zhu to do it.
"Oh, are you really old?"
Old Master Xie sighed lonelyly, looking at the flowing clouds on the horizon, his whole person looked extremely vicissitudes of life.
At this moment, several people outside the courtyard attracted his attention.
Old Master Xie frowned and shouted, "Little Huzi, where are you going to fool around?"
Xie Hu looked back, not wanting to meet his grandfather in the backyard, so he hurriedly brought several of his brothers to come forward to say hello.
"To talk back to my grandfather, my grandson is not fooling around, he is, he is..."
Seeing him hesitating, old lady Xie looked at the young man beside him.
The young man responded hurriedly: "Grandpa, it was my third brother who heard that a large cave appeared inexplicably in Beimang Mountain. Someone found a large number of human heads nearby and a tomb under the big cave. We wanted to go and see what happened.
"
Old man Xie was stunned for a moment, "Big cave, tomb?"
Beimang Mountain has always been the location of royal cemeteries. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, many emperors and concubines have hidden there.
"Could it be that some emperor's tomb was discovered?"
Old Master Xie frowned, this was not a good sign.
Hearing this, Xie Hu hurriedly denied: "Grandpa, no, it's not the emperor's mausoleum. It's said to be an ancient tomb. It's not near the emperor's mausoleum, but to the south, almost to Luoyang."
"oh?"
Old Mrs. Xie's expression changed, and he felt that this matter was related to the loud noise he heard that day.
"Go and prepare your carriage and horses. I will go with you to have a look."
Less than half an hour later.
When Xie and his party arrived at Beimang Mountain, they saw a large pit in the distance, surrounded by people and the figures of Qilin Guards.
A Qilin Guard team leader saw Xie's bicycle frame and quickly came up to remind him: "Mr. Xie, don't come forward. Many people have been poisoned in the past few days, and two of them died. Mr. Xie
It’s better to be careful.”
Grandpa Xie opened the car curtain, looked at the big pit in the distance, frowned and said, "Are there still people dead?"
Qilin Guard clasped his fists and responded: "Yes, two lazy guys who wanted to pick up a bargain fainted and fell to the ground when they walked out of the cave. By the time we found out, they were already cold and couldn't be saved, so that's all.
We helped a few people in, but fortunately the treatment was timely and there is no fear of life."
Old Grandpa Xie nodded slightly and cupped his hands, thanking him for the reminder.
Many people from nearby aristocratic families gathered around when they discovered that Old Master Xie had arrived.
Among them are several large families such as the Yang family, Chen family, Dou family, and Yuan family, as well as some small and medium-sized aristocratic families in the Jingzhao area.
"Thank you, old man."
"I've met Mr. Xie."
"You're welcome, no need to be more polite."
Old Master Xie got off the carriage, returned the greeting with his hands, and then asked curiously: "Such a big thing happened, is there no movement from Mr. Wei?"
An elder from a wealthy clan raised his hands and said, "Of course there is. It is said that this big hole was caused by Lord Wei."
Old Master Xie's eyebrows moved slightly.
Someone else said: "Wei Jun came to see it early in the morning. He said that the cave was filled with poisonous smoke and told us not to act rashly. As for him, he said that he was going back to prepare some means and planned to send people to explore the reality of the cave."
While a few people were chatting.
A camouflage-colored Dongfeng Mengshi drove over from the direction of Luoyang with a roar of mourning.
The sudden appearance of the giant steel beast attracted everyone's attention, but they did not collapse to the ground in fear, but more out of curiosity.
When Meng Shi heard that Old Xie was approaching the carriage, he opened the door. Wei Qing got out of the car first and smiled at Old Xie and the others.
When Old Master Xie saw the giant steel beast, he knew it was Wei Cheng who was coming, but his eyes were still fixed on the giant beast, full of surprise and suspicion.
After Wei Cheng got out of the car, the door on the other side also opened, and what came out this time was Bai Chuyi in a white dress.
Her gray eyes just glanced at the cave and said in surprise: "Brother Qing, you guessed it right, this is the breath of the Jiuzhou Cauldron. It seems that this is also a secret place. The poisonous smoke that overflows...
It is undoubtedly the fragrance of the elixir of longevity."
Wei Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this. Since he absorbed the Qingzhou Ding, he has been inquiring about the whereabouts of the other eight Jiuzhou Dings. Now he only knows that the Jizhou Ding was moved to Yizhou by Liu Yan, and the whereabouts of the other seven are still unknown.
Now that one suddenly appears, it was discovered during a test firing of the artillery. It shows that God has treated me well, and this is just bad luck.
"Is it okay if we go in?" Wei Cheng asked.
Bai Chu nodded, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and said, "Just put it on the center of the body."
Wei Cheng took it, then looked back at Mr. Xie and others, and said: "Seniors, this is not a place where we will stay for a long time. You should go back first."
This is a direct deportation order.
Several people looked at each other, and finally left angrily.
Only old lady Xie stared at the cave, seemingly thoughtful.
However, after taking a look at Wei Cheng, he still extinguished his desire to explore and returned to Luoyang under the guidance of the Qilin Guard.
When Wei Cheng and Bai Chu saw that everyone was gone, they looked towards the cave.
"On the first day of the junior high school, let's go. How about traveling with me for a while in Taixu?"
Bai Chuyi smiled calmly: "Brother Cheng may not be able to catch up with me this time!"
