Cao Yan really couldn't understand what Tang Yi insisted on so for. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tang Yi is rich, but being rich is not such a flower, right?

You must know that winning people's hearts can scatter the money of the elders, but if Tang Yi wants to tie more people to his side, he will have to spend his own money.

He wants to build a city in Yazhou and a fortress in Yalong Bay......

This requires manpower, and it is a lot of manpower, especially when the project was developed back to the mountain, and it may even be comparable to the great construction of the Tongji Canal.

However, outside the ridge is not as good as the Central Plains, there is no official family here to support Tang Yi, and there is no prime minister and Jiangmen forces to help him support him left and right.

Back then, when he was digging a river bay in Huishan and building a market, Tang Yi did what he said, and he did it as an uncle, and he didn't care about the cost at all, because he had confidence.

Don't look at such a big project, it seems that Tang Yi paid for it, but in fact, most of the leaders are from the official family. Because the most financially expensive labor costs are the victims recruited in the name of the imperial court, and Tang Yi does not have to bear them.

If Tang Yi was allowed to pay the servants of tens of thousands of disaster victims, with his financial resources back then, he would not be able to say anything to make Huishan become a living person and rise instantly.

But now? The official family can't manage the ridge, and the generals and ministers can't help him, so there is no other way than to take the money and smash it.

How much manpower does it take to build such a big project? And how much does it cost?

Even if Tang Yi is determined, he has to spend this money, he can! Years of tacit understanding made Cao Tong subconsciously choose to believe in Tang Yi and choose to stand on his side. However, Cao Tong hoped that he would be calm when he made this decision.

"Even if you have to cultivate, you have to calculate a number, and then you can do it when you have the bottom in your heart, right?"

......

Tang Yi pondered, and was indeed a little anxious.

However, he was still unwilling, and continued:

"Actually, now it is not considered a waste of cultivation to let Yan Dalai, farming needs to be cleared, and building a house also requires logging and preparing materials, which can be moved first."

"Where's the grain?" Cao Tong asked another question. "There are so many people, you must have so much food, right?"

Tang Yi's expression darkened, it was indeed that he was too anxious, even if he transferred grain from the Central Plains, it would take some time.

"Alas!" Cao Tong sighed, for fear that what he said was too straightforward and would lose Tang Yi's face.

"Even if you want to do it, let's calculate the number first."

"If there are too many, even you can't afford it, then Yanda is clearing the wasteland and preparing materials, isn't it all in vain?"

Tang Yi raised his head suddenly, "If you can't fix it, you have to repair it!" ”

"You don't have to persuade me about this!"

"You ......" Cao Yan said angrily.

Isn't that thankless? Lao Tzu thinks about you, not only do you not appreciate it at all, but you also make a mistake with me.

At this time, Wu Yu walked over and silently pressed his hand towards Cao Yan. Meaning, let him calm down first.

came to Tang Yi's side, collected the strength of arguing with Tang Yi in the past, and said in a harmonious voice: "Can you talk to the old man, why do you have to build a city here?" ”

Tang Yi only felt depressed in his heart, and said sadly: "Because, it is necessary to ......"

"Although Yanyun has returned now, the Great Liao has not yet been decided, and the Western Xia is shaking, and the two largest trading countries in the Great Song Dynasty have become variables."

"If the imperial court wants to carry out the reform, it will inevitably need huge tax support, and it is far from enough to rely on the agricultural and commercial taxes in the Central Plains alone. At this time, only new markets can be opened. ”

Wu Yu pondered for a moment, Tang Yi's statement was not difficult to understand, and it was reasonable.

"Da Lang refers to the big food in the west?"

"Yes!" Tang Yi nodded vigorously.

"This place is the only way for the Great Food Merchants to enter the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Great Song Dynasty has no advantage in the trade with the Great Food. If I want to change this situation, I need a fulcrum, or a foundation. ”

Wu Yu nodded as he listened.

With Tang Yi's ability, it is not impossible for him to gain a firm foothold in Yazhou, thereby changing the business role between Song and Dashi.

But......

"What else?"

Tang Yi's sentences fooled others, but he couldn't fool Old Man Wu.

"If that's the case, the old town of Yazhou couldn't be more suitable. With both the foundation and the recognized foothold of the big food merchants, you don't have to choose such a place to build a large number of buildings. ”

“......”

Tang Yi was speechless. Heart, it seems that it is really impossible not to dry out a little something.

"Xianggong, wait for me for a while."

After speaking, Tang Yi turned around and returned to the ship.

After a while, when he got out of the boat again, he had a few more large boxes around him.

Not to mention Wu Yu, Uncle Cao Guo and others are also inexplicably curious, what kind of treasure makes Tang Yi cover it so tightly, he has to take it himself? Looking at his expression, he was afraid that people would get close and get a glimpse of the mystery.

"Second child, pure courtesy, take a hand."

After going ashore, Tang Yi didn't open the box immediately, but didn't even call the servants, and asked Cao Jue, Fan Chunli and others to help him carry a few boxes into the woods.

It took more than a mile to walk before stopping.

"What is this!? So heavy? ”

Cao Lao Er put down the box sweating profusely and couldn't help complaining.

He and Xiucai worked together to carry the largest box, three feet square, but it weighed more than two hundred pounds, and the two strong men were tired and collapsed.

Tang Yi put down the box in his hand very carefully, and threw a bunch of keys to him and said, "Just open it and take a look." ”

As soon as Cao Jue heard that it could be opened, he immediately stepped forward to open the box to see what kind of treasure could make Tang Yijin look like this.

However, after fiddling for a long time, he didn't open the box.

"Can you do it?" Xiucai couldn't help but complain.

"You're coming?" Cao Jue's eyes were crossed, and this madman put four or five locks on the box, which was enough to open for a while.

When it was finally opened, he lifted the lid of the box violently......

"Day!!"

There were only two things in the chest, and they were worthless iron objects: an iron shelf, and a thick-walled thick iron pipe.

If there is anything special, it may be the iron pipe, which seems to be made of tungsten steel, and it is worth a little money.

"Crazy Tang, a big iron bump, do you want to be like this?"

.......

Tang Yi ignored him and began to pound things out of his box, still extremely careful.

Cao Jue stepped forward boringly, picked up a wooden box taken out of the box and was about to fiddle with it.

"What's this?"

"Don't move!!"

Tang Yi, who was frightened by Cao Jue's movements, screamed in surprise and snatched it back.

"Don't die!?"

Cao Jue looked at Tang Yi in a daze, "As for it?" Don't let you touch it? ”

"As for it?"

Tang Yi sneered and repeated, "You'll know later." ”

When the wooden box is opened, there is a circle of straw inside, and there is a wooden box stuffed in the middle, and when it is opened again, there is another layer of kapok, and another wooden box in the middle......

When you open another layer, it is still kapok, but in the middle it becomes a small bag wrapped in flannel.

Grunt.....

Everyone couldn't help but swallow dryly, the emperor didn't need to be so troublesome to hide the jade seal, right?

When the last layer of flannel was opened, the contents finally fell into the eyes of everyone.

"This ...... What kind of treasure is this? ”

At this time, Tang Yi was holding a glass vial in his hand, only as tall as his thumb, and inside was a small bottle of pale yellow oil.

"It's certainly not your average oil!"

Cao Jue Xiucai, Fan Chunli, plus Uncle Cao Guo and Pan Feng, none of them thought that this oil was ordinary, otherwise Tang Yi would not have wrapped it like a family heirloom.

......

Tang Yi was not in a hurry to say what kind of oil this was, but looked at Wu Yu and the others.

"You should know that in my small building in Guanlan, there is a place where no one is allowed to enter."

"Uh-huh!!" Everyone nodded like pounding garlic, the point is here, you can say it quickly.

"Don't you all wonder what nasty things I'm doing there?"

"Today, I'll show you!"

As he spoke, Tang Yi aimed the vial in his hand at a dirt pit and threw it inside.

"Don't ......"

Don't throw it away.....

Cao Lao Er was surprised, why did he throw away such a precious gold?

But "don't" is not finished.

Rumble!!!!!!

An earth-shattering bang exploded several feet away as the bottle hit the ground.

Cao Lao Er only felt an invisible huge force slapped on his body and poured it into his mouth, and the whole person staggered backwards.

"My!! What the hell is this!? ”

And Uncle Cao Guo and Pan Feng were even worse, and as soon as the heat wave was lifted, they sat directly on the ground.

"This ...... This......! ”

Uncle Guo looked at Tang Yi, and then looked at the soil pit that had become a big fire pit, and nothing came out of "this" for a long time.

Wu Yu was the farthest away, and the impact was not great, but looking at the situation where Pan Feng and Cao Tong were overturned together, it was not difficult to see how powerful the bottle was the size of a thumb.

"It's an explosive oil, and the full name is nitroglycerin." When everyone turned around, Tang Yi began to explain loudly.

"I don't know how many times more powerful than those thunderbolts in the army. However, the trait is extremely unstable, and the slightest vibration will cause self-violence. If the second child had moved a little bigger just now, it would have exploded in his hands! ”

“！！！”

Cao Lao Er only felt that his palms were numb, and the cold sweat came down, so dangerous!

"You, you, you tinker with this thing in the small building every day?"

Tang Yi smiled, "It? It can only be regarded as a low-level explosive, and there is no need to put much effort into it. ”

I took out a jar from the box, and this time it was much more casual. When you open it, it looks a bit like gray gravel grains.

"What is this?"

"It's a solid explosive blended with nitroglycerin."

"Huh......!" Cao Lao Er jumped high and hid far away in an instant.

The vial is so big, if this big jar is blown up, the bones and slag will not be found.

Tang Yi smiled, "Don't worry, this kind of is much more stable than those in the bottle, and it won't explode easily." ”

Nitroglycerin is simply too easy for Tang Yi, and the plastic explosives, solid explosives, and safety detonators derived from it are even easier!

As he spoke, Tang Yi instructed Xiucai and Cao Jue to put the tungsten steel pipe on the iron shelf.

It's not difficult, there is a card slot between the shelf and the iron pipe, and it is fixed with one card.

Tang Yi put the jar aside, and took out a sturdy burden tied in the form of a column.

"It's in the jar."

Come to the iron pipe and stuff the baggage inside.

Only then did everyone discover that the column-shaped medicine bag was exactly the thickness of the inner wall of the steel pipe, and it went through to the end.

Take out an iron pellet from another box, which looks like it weighs about a catty, and it can also be stuffed into a steel pipe.

"What are you doing here?"

Tang Yi said: "This thing is called a cannon." ”

As he spoke, he adjusted the muzzle of the gun, inserted a detonator behind the barrel, and was about to ignite.

"You'll wait!!"

As soon as everyone saw that Tang Yi was about to order in the crowd, their faces turned white with fright, and they scattered while shouting.

This thing is dead!!

Tang Yi sneered and didn't explain, and when everyone reached the back of the tree, they lit the fire and lit it.

Rumble!!!!

Cao Jue stared at Tang Yi for a moment and lit the fire, only to see a tongue of fire erupt from the end of the steel pipe several feet away, and then a roar that was a hundred times louder than just now shook the mountains and forests.

Animal disease!! Click!! Rumble!!

A series of loud noises seemed to be the sky falling apart, and even veterans like Cao Laoer, who had come back from the Hades Palace twice, were secretly frightened.

But fortunately, it just spewed a fire, and it wasn't as powerful as the first time.

When the fireworks dissipated and everyone came out from behind the tree, Cao Jue pouted: "This is scary enough, but it is still the first one!" ”

Tang Yi didn't refute him, and pointed in the direction the muzzle of the cannon was facing.

"Look over there..."

“......”

“......”

“......”

Everyone present looked in the direction Tang Yi pointed out, and they all stood on the spot.

"This ......" Wu Yuhan muttered like rain. This is a killing weapon that should not belong to the world!! ”

......

————————

Tang Yi's cannon was actually aimed at a mountain rock a mile away, and this kind of 1-pound small cannon would hit a mile away.

But......

He aimed crookedly, the muzzle of the cannon was too flat, and the shells were fired almost straight out. Of course, it didn't hit the stone, but it flew dozens of feet and hit the tree, and the big tree the size of the bucket couldn't stop it at all, and broke four trees in a row, and finally smashed on the mountain wall, smashing a large part of the stone wall.

That scene was more shocking than the mountain rock that Tang Yi was going to fight.

Everyone looked stupid, how could such a killing weapon ever be born in the world?

"Obediently, if you go down with a cannon, the mountains will collapse, if you use it to attack the city......"

"You don't need to pile up people, and the day of the fuck, no matter how strong the city wall is, can't it stand?"

"One day?" Tang Yi sneered. "It's just a pound-heavy solid cannonball, a small cannon of less than three feet."

"If you want to do it, you can make it bigger. Thousands of pounds of heavy artillery, shells can weigh dozens of pounds, and they can be loaded with explosives, and they can be exploded when they hit the target! ”

"Even if it's the city wall of Kaifeng, it can be collapsed with a few cannons, how can it take a day?"

"Oh!!" Cao Jue directly burst into foul language.

"If this is equipped for the forbidden army, then what kind of Great Liao, what Western Xia, kill all directions!?"

"Fart!!

As soon as Cao Laoer's words came out, he immediately let another foul language push back.

And what is surprising is that the foul-mouthed person turned out to be Wu Yu.

Old man Wu didn't retract his mind until now, his face flushed, and he was hearing Cao Jue's "fantasy".

"Fart kills all directions!?"

Turning to Tang Yi, he couldn't help but say, "Ruined it!" Right away!! Don't let this monster come alive! ”

"Why!?"

Cao Jue is gone, why should such a good artifact be destroyed?

Tang Yi praised miserably: "Wu Xianggong, you still understand people......"

looked at Cao Jue, "Because as soon as the cannon came out, it was Da Song who suffered the most!" ”

......
