Section 0674 The Secret of Greek Fire
[67β books Γ· it.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Regarding the Greek fire, Qin Qiong made an evaluation with ruthless words, and he already revealed his yearning.
Fang Xuanling was very indifferent: "One hundred horses of high-quality silk, one thousand pieces of high-quality silk." There is a famous saying in Yanagi that I like, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a cart of coins, if not, add another cart. β
Hahaha!
Du Ruhui and Qin Qiong laughed at the same time.
What Qin Qiong wants is the support of Fang and Du, and some foreign technologies need to be bought with money, so they buy them in large quantities. The top nobles of the Tang Dynasty have seen the benefits of ghost work, skilled craftsmen, and clever technology, so they are willing to spend money to buy back good technology.
"Let's go over for a drink, too." Du Ruhui pointed to Oscar Buddy, who was already shaking and had obviously reached the limit of alcohol, and motioned for Fang Xuanling and Qin Qiong to go over with him.
Even if Qin Qiong only drinks one glass, it is estimated that Oscar Buddy will feel honored.
Of course, by the way, Tang Jian, the fat man, let him quickly agree to the departure of Liu Mu's fleet, Datang needs gold, silver, and fresh trade routes.
Oscar Buddy poured, and the amount of alcohol he had drunk already made him proud.
But the wine of the Tang Dynasty seems to be ten cups of their Rome, which can support the plump Datang official said that if he released people to sea on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, he only glanced at Qin Qiong who came over with the cup, and then poured it on the ground gorgeously.
And long before that, Oscar Buddy's attachΓ©s were already under the table.
Wei Chigong, who had been standing not far from Oscar Badi, breathed a sigh of relief, and he also looked forward to the fleet departing one day earlier, opening the maritime Silk Road earlier, and bringing wealth to Datang earlier.
Willow needs coins, and only enough coins can have unfathomable divine guards.
Seeing Oscar Buddy drunk, Wei Chigong, who had been suppressing himself and had not yet started to let go of drinking, raised the wine glass in his hand: "Now, officially start drinking." β
Qin Qiong stopped, thinking that back then, it would be okay for him to let down Wei Chigong with his drinking.
But right now, in order to recover her body, Qin Qiong is already in a semi-abstinent state, and the maximum amount of alcohol she drinks is no more than three taels per time.
Wei Chigong's eyes swept over the field, and after stopping at Qin Qiong's place for only a moment, he turned to Liu Mu who was hiding in the corner, Liu Mu was collecting money, and he won the gamble again.
As the master, Qin Qiong can't drink it, which the upper-class nobles of the Tang Dynasty can understand.
But the willow ......
Hahaha! Wei Chigong laughed heartily while carrying a whole bottle of wine to find Liu Mu.
"Drink, if you don't have a lot of alcohol, you can't drink guts, come!" Yanagi was also happy that his fleet could finally go to sea, thinking of the infinite business opportunities in the Mediterranean, and thinking of the countless riches of the Ivory Coast, Yanagi couldn't close his mouth.
And most importantly, Willow knows the core secrets of Greek fire.
In the later generations, that thing is called stinky stone, but in later generations, it is artificially made by electric furnaces, and how to make that kind of thing here in Datang Although I am not sure, I am confident.
Stinky stone will produce acetylene when it meets water, plus oil, even vegetable oil, and then add its own white phosphorus. This combination is definitely not a little humane, the most cruel, but also the cheapest black-hearted incendiary bomb, the more watered the more terrifying, and it can be used on rainy days, it is really perfect for his meow.
Holding a wine glass containing one or two wines, Liu Mu did not forget to order: "Come on, carry our distinguished guests into the guest room, and then go to my house to arrange for twenty maids to warm the bed, not one less." Let's drink. β
Wei Chigong just shouted and drank, but Fang Xuanling said to Qin Qiong: "You brother-in-law, I guess you have found a treasure." β
"Well, it's been a year of hard work, so it's good to get him drunk."
Fight for wine gall.
These fierce people in the Tang Dynasty, even the drunken gall of civil officials is also at the level of bear bile and tiger guts. What's more, if Du Ruxuan, who has the weakest amount of wine, doesn't have to be recuperated like Qin Qiong, he also has a pound of wine.
After two rounds, Liu Mu asked Qin Qiong to arrange someone to send it home.
On the same day, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cui Junsu, Tang Jian, and Wei Chigong. But they didn't leave in the name of getting drunk, and they plus Qin Qiong, who only drank two taels of wine, drank more than one bottle of wine per person.
But sitting in Qin Qiong's study, the six people were not drunk at all.
And also add hot pot shabu mutton, and with ice wine, continue.
"Everyone, I want Jingde to take five thousand gods to the left guard army to the north, the elite soldiers are not good-looking, they can only be used if they have really fought. Intelligence has confirmed that Tuyuhun wants to move eastward. β
Qin Qiong's information is not a secret, and the top officials of Datang already know it.
Fang Xuanling said: "In the former Sui Dynasty, it took several major battles to attack Xiping County, and after the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Tuyuhun had already counterattacked to the city of Liangzhou. This Tuyuhun intelligence in the past two years is indeed ready to move. β
Yanagi wasn't there, and Yanagi would definitely think about something if he heard these words.
In real history, Datang couldn't control that side, neither the troops nor the logistics. let Tuyuhun encroach little by little, and even captured part of the land on the right side of the river.
It was not until the ninth year of Zhenguan that Li Jing led the troops, Hou Junji and other generals went to war, and then he had a ruthless fight with Tuyuhun, recovered the lost land of Xiping County, and then fought all the way to Qinghai Lake.
"Can you take Xiping County?" Qin Qiong asked.
Fang Xuanling shook his head: "It's difficult, it's quite difficult." Unless, fifteen days can pacify Tuyuhun, or give up attacking Gaochang. Otherwise, the logistics of our Datang will be powerless in two-front operations. β
Qin Qiong smiled at this time: "Lao Cheng, this rough goods, he thought that he would see Liu Mu's real treasure when he went around Huayuan, but he was afraid that he didn't even see the fake baby." After that, Qin Qiong threw a barrier knife he carried with him to Yu Chigong: "This knife, there are less than ten knives out of Huayuan, this is the real top knife of my brother-in-law." β
Yu Chigong took it, but he didn't feel that there was anything special about this knife.
Qin Qiong said: "This knife is a three-layer steel, I am not a blacksmith, I only know that these three layers of steel are different, and the result is that the blade is tough and not broken, and the blade is extremely sharp." In the warehouse, there are at least 20,000 horizontal knives, 3,000 Mo knives, and 3,000 three-pointed knives and cavalry knives. β
After finishing speaking, Qin Qiong got up and opened the cabinet in his study, and took out the chest part of his armor that went north this time and put it on the table: "This is my armor, and there are only three sets of the entire Tang Dynasty out of Huayuan." Jingde can try the strength of this armor, as well as the weight. β
Everyone took it in their hands, but found that this armor was even half lighter than the previous Shanwen armor.
Qin Qiong revealed another astonishing secret: "The cost of this armor is less than half of the Shanwen armor, and the reloading of the Mo Sword armor is four times the price of his." Huayuan has given up the production of the original various types of armor and changed all of them to this new type of armor. β
"This ......" the crowd did not understand.
