Su Mansion Night Banquet, those present are naturally today's meritorious people, Fu Bi, Zhao Dehai, Fang Chengzhong are naturally indispensable, and there are five more Ma soldiers.

The five horse soldiers were neatly dressed, but their hair was charred and their faces were dark and purple, and they looked like roasted pigs' heads.

After the dishes were served, Su Jin asked Xiao Sui'er to close the door of the hall, and no one waited for him to pass away, so he stood up and personally poured wine glasses for the five pig-headed soldiers.

"Several brothers have worked hard, and today you have made great achievements, and you have also suffered a lot; Su would like to thank you here. ”

The five of them were flattered, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "This can kill the villains, how dare you do it." ”

Su Jin patted the shoulder of the person near the left and said: "If you can afford it, there is still a heavy gift here, and then give the five of you three days off, go back and heal the wound on your face, and you will take care of it for a few days." ”

After snapping his fingers, Wang Dynasty stepped forward with a few packages, Su Jin grabbed the packages and stuffed them into the arms of the five soldiers and said, "A little meaning, it is counted as a compliment." ”

The five people carried a heavy package, knowing that it must be silver and other things, looking at this amount, I am afraid that it is not less than twenty yuan, this is their own salary for a year, and they are ecstatic in their hearts, but they dare not accept it, they only look at Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong, and ask the two of them to show it.

Zhao Dehai waved his hand and said, "Take it, take it, Lord Su's reward, can you not give face?" Besides, today is really hard, and there is no loss in holding it. ”

Only then did the five of them wrap their subordinates and happily bow and thank Su Jinxing.

Su Jin laughed, turned around and returned to his seat, picked up his wine glass and said, "Today, we can scare the Liao envoy unclearly, you have done a good show, let me see it, everyone can go to be a corner." ”

Fu Bi smiled and said, "It's not that you arranged it properly, I've been worried about whether I will be seen as a flaw." ”

Zhao Dehai said: "Yes, I am also worried about revealing flaws, but fortunately, nothing went wrong; Hey, if only we had such firearms. ”

Fang Chengzhong said: "Is there really such a firearm to be returned?" Didn't you immediately wave the teacher's back and serve Yuan Hao and Liao Gou in one pot? ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "The main thing is that there is no strong and explosion-resistant cast iron pipe, in order to achieve such power, the medicinal power must be sufficient; But the power of the medicine was too great, and the pipe couldn't stand it, and it exploded and hurt his family. Fu Bi sighed: "Yes, otherwise why would we have faked the gunpowder first buried in the woods and under the slope, and after the shooting, we had to bother the five brothers to call it a day and ignite the fire to create a momentum." Anyway, this power is really not small, a small pebble jumped on my leg, and it is still bruised. ”

Su Jin raised his glass and said to the five soldiers: "Come, do it, I'm still worried that a few of you will not be able to escape, the gunpowder exploded, it was not a joke, fortunately, it only burned his head and face, and none of the parts on his body were missing." ”

Zhao Dehai laughed and said: "As long as the little brother is still there, what is it to burn some flesh and skin?" Besides, just the looks of the five of you, you just changed the skin when you burned it, maybe you are more handsome than before. ”

Everyone laughed, Xiao Sui'er on the side listened to the red face, the men always like to say some obscene things when they get together, they didn't understand anything before, but now they understand what 'little brother' and 'second' or something, and they don't know how they understand this.

Xiao Sui'er also figured out one thing, it turned out that the earth-shattering movements in the school field in the afternoon were all faked by the son; Listen to them, it was pre-planted gunpowder in the woods and under the mounds of earth, and as soon as the firearm was fired, the people hiding there began to light the fuse, and then it exploded non-stop; No wonder the five soldiers were burned like pigs' heads, their faces were red, and it seemed that they were sprayed by the heat to their heads and faces, which was strange and terrifying. I don't know what the prince is doing this for? Is it just to scare those Liao people?

Xiao Sui'er tried her best not to remind herself of the tall and strong Liao official, but she still couldn't help but have a sentence flashing in her mind: There are so many Liao people's hair!

Over there, Zhao Fang and the others had already begun to spit about how they went to the Shenhuo Camp of the Military Department to borrow bamboo tubes and gunpowder, how the gang disagreed, and how they and others were righteous and awe-inspiring, and finally spent money to buy all the bamboo tubes and explosives.

Su Jin couldn't help but ask, "How much gunpowder did you two buy in total?" ”

Zhao Dehai said proudly: "I bought them all, and we moved all the ten pokes of gunpowder in the Shenhuo Camp warehouse." ”

Su Jin was stunned and said, "Why did you buy it all?" Can't eat that thing? We're just using it this time, and it's dangerous to keep that thing. ”

Zhao Dehai was also stunned and said: "I didn't keep it, didn't I use it all." ”

Su Jin's eyes widened and said, "All ten barrels of gunpowder have been used up?" ”

"yes, there's nothing left, or how can it be so powerful? There are five buckets buried under the mound alone, don't you confess, you want to make a huge noise, and scare the Liao people into peeing their pants? ”

Su Jin was helpless, it seemed that he had misestimated the performance of this gunpowder, this was not the TNT explosives of later generations, a small piece was enough to blow up a radius of several meters, but fortunately, such gunpowder should not be expensive.

"No matter if you use it all, you don't feel at ease anywhere; How much is a barrel of gunpowder, and who paid for it? ”

Zhao Dehai took out a note from his arms, raised it and said: "Don't you say that I have to forget, I didn't pay the money, and the two faces of the old man and the old party slapped the IOU in the Shenhuo Camp, and it happened that Master Su took the account, and Ming'er will send it to them." ”

Su Jin stretched out his hand to take the note, only looked at it twice, and the flesh on his face trembled: 800 special bamboo fire tubes, a total of 400 pieces; Ten barrels of black powder, counting 1,000 barrels; 5,000 fast and slow fuzes, 100 fuses; The total of all things is fifteen hundred.

"Master Su, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Dehai asked with concern.

"My lord, where are you uncomfortable?" Zhao Chengzhong also asked.

But what was angry was that Fu Bi also came up and asked with concern: "Brother Xian, you were fine just now, but you had a bad stomach?" ”

Su Jin took a few breaths, calmed down and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, this price is cheap enough." ”

Zhao Dehai said proudly: "That is, our brothers are out of the horse, no matter what, we have to give a half, Lord Huang of the Shenhuo Camp can say, the bamboo tube they use is an extremely tough thorn bamboo, this kind of bamboo should be taken from three to five years old, not too tender or too old; After taking it, only five or six knots of the root are used, and the others are not suitable, so they can be used for assault guns. The price was nearly five per piece, but now it's only five hundred wen for us, hahahaha. ”

Su Jin puffed out his eyes and looked at him and said, "Do you still think you can make money?" ”

Zhao Dehai's laughter stopped abruptly and said, "What? Isn't this profitable? ”

Su Jin said: "Then what are we using these eight hundred bamboo tubes now?" Split the fire or get through when the hookah smoked? Sold by someone and helped the number of money, this bamboo tube is piled up in the Shenhuo Camp treasury is a pile of firewood, you are ten cents a and they also sell it, five hundred wen, should it be gold bars? ”

Zhao Dehai understood, patted his head and scolded: "That's right, these suffocating calves, this is playing Lao Tzu as a monkey." I'm going to go to them, damn it, dare to play with the guys. ”

Su Jin waved his hand and said, "The IOUs are all written, what else are you looking for?" If you are the boss of the wrong, you still don't know it, and you still want to make trouble? Forget it, it's nothing like that. ”

Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong cried and said with sad faces: "Then needless to say, this gunpowder has also been deceived." ”

Su Jin sighed and said: "They ask for a barrel of gunpowder for a hundred guan, and I can build a big house in the countryside with three entrances for a hundred guan, and that barrel of gunpowder is placed in that house for him to blow up, and he can't blow up a corner of the house, and these grandsons are really dark enough." ”

Fang Chengzhong's face was purple, and he held back for a long time and said, "Didn't we give money?" We don't give it. ”

Su Jin cried and laughed: "Do you miss the debt?" I can't afford to lose that man. ”

Zhao Dehai said: "Then you are willing to eat deflated?" ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "I don't want to be wronged, this matter is handed over to the rich lord to do, we are negotiating for the imperial court, how to spend the money and can't come out on our own, this matter is going to the rich lord to go to the third division, or directly shoot the list on the emperor's dragon case, anyway, I won't take out a word; With this money, I might as well give each of the Ma Jun brothers a reward of three or five yuan, and I won't let these guys go into my pocket. ”

Fu Bi was stunned and said: "There is nowhere to write off this money, we can't use bamboo gunpowder for negotiations, and the emperor can't answer when he asks." ”

Su Jin said: "That's your business, this money is either from the court, or you are rich and thinking about him, anyway, I don't do this wrong, originally I patted my chest and said that I will take this money, so as not to report it and talk too much, but now I have changed my mind, the men are trying their best to earn face for the Great Song Dynasty in front, and a group of grandsons in the back are still digging the corner of Lao Tzu's wall, I don't go to them to smack their faces, it can be regarded as a peace of mind." ”

Fu Bi smiled and said: "It's okay, just take this opportunity to clean up the goods in the military department, I'll write a book on this matter and see who dares to ask for this money." ”

Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong are stupid, Lord Fu is right-handed, and he is a counselor; It seems that the life of those guys in the military department is going to be sad, and the military department belongs to the Privy Council, and I am afraid that Du Privy will also be hooked; The two of them regretted in their hearts, why did they not have such a long brain, and taught people to give such a large sum of money, look at it! It's a big deal!
