Chapter 130 Nine: Broken Money

"Xiao Jiu, I heard that several of your Zhuangzi's crops are very good this year, right?" Qin Hongyuan asked suddenly.

Zhang Jiu suddenly felt a sense of crisis, a feeling of being watched, and smiled embarrassingly, "Where did the father hear it, it's actually not bad, it's just so-so, not as good as last year Woolen cloth"

Even if it is not as good as last year, it is still better than others. Qin Hongyuan has made up his mind to make Zhang Jiu bleed, "Although the drought outside the pass this year is not as severe as in previous years, many people still have insufficient food. It has been gathered together, and it seems to be heading towards the Zhongguan, I am very worried."

After looking at Qin Hongyuan for a few times, Zhang Jiu decided to keep silent. Zhang Jiu also knew about the drought outside the pass, but it was not as serious as Qin Hongyuan said. I won't be fooled.

Seeing that Zhang Jiu didn't speak, Qin Hongyuan winked at Qin Ce, trying to make Qin Ce speak, but Qin Ce also pretended not to see it, and just like Zhang Jiu, he didn't answer.

"Hengzhi, Xiaojiu, you are both my subjects and sons, shouldn't you share my worries?" No one answered, Qin Hongyuan found a way for himself.

"My son is very worried about my father," Zhang Jiu said, and after saying this, he bowed his head and said nothing more.

Since these two people are so bad, Qin Hongyuan had no choice but to rush the ducks to the shelves, "Xiao Jiu, I can't raise so much food for a while, how about I want to use some of your villages first?"

Not at all, Zhang Jiu looked up at Qin Hongyuan, "Father, how much do you plan to pay me?"

Qin Hongyuan laughed angrily at Zhang Jiu's greedy appearance, "Do you still need to talk about money?"

"Of course I need it." Zhang Jiu nodded very seriously, "Father, we are talking about business, and my food is not picked up from the street for nothing. When I came here, the farmers brothers worked hard for a year to grow it. , you can’t deprive them of the fruit of their labor with such a sentence, it will make them feel cold, but you are the emperor, if you have to, how about we give you a discount?”

"I remember you just said that the whole world is the land of the king, and the coast of the land is the king's minister. The whole Great Qin Dynasty belongs to me. Of course, I don't need money to ask for your food, because it belongs to me in the first place." Qin Hongyuan took out what Zhang Jiu had said to suppress him.

Zhang Jiu murmured with a bitter face, "But you can't let us all starve to death."

"Okay, this matter is decided like this." After Zhang Jiu's first army, Qin Hongyuan was in a very happy mood, "I have already ordered Jiang Jian to bring the grain from the south, Xiao Jiu, it's too late if you don't agree." up"

Now that the decree has been made, why tell him that it is intentional to make him unhappy?They are so old, how can they be disrespected?Zhang Jiu couldn't tell how depressed and entangled he was, and said wearily, "Okay, I got it."

After leaving the imperial study room, Zhang Jiu was very brooding over the loss of a large sum of money for no reason. Qin Ce beside him was first implicated, "Qin Ce, it's all your fault, tell me that since we got married, I have lost a lot of money. Because of how much money you have ruined, you are simply my money-scattering boy."

It is true that Zhang Jiu broke a lot of money, but he did it willingly, so why is he starting to turn over old accounts now?Apart from being silent, Qin Ce can only be silent. If he says something, it will definitely add fuel to the fire, and Zhang Jiu will be even more relentless, so it is better to be silent, silence is golden.

The feeling of talking to yourself is also uncomfortable, Zhang Jiu kicked Qin Ce, "Are you dumb? You can't squeak."

Qin Ce stood still, looked at Zhang Jiu and said, "Xiao Jiu, I'm just thinking of a solution for you."

"Then have you thought about it?"

"Thought about it," Qin Ce said, "didn't my father tell you to calculate the cost of building the racecourse? I think you will add a sum of money without knowing it with your ingenuity, so that no one will find out." In order to make Zhang Jiu happy, he didn't even distinguish between public and private.

"You're right, why didn't I think of that?" Changing his previous displeasure, Zhang Jiu's sky became cloudless again, "Hengzhi, you are so smart and cute."

"Thanks for the compliment" when you meet Zhang Jiu, let his rationality go to the sky.

It was already night when Zhao Chan came home, but Qin Yi and Zhao Ye were still waiting for Zhang Jiu, and when they saw Zhang Jiu came back, they immediately pulled him to share their new ideas.

"Xiao Jiu, Yun Zhi and I thought about it. According to what you said, we changed the trebuchet to make it lighter and lighter, and two people can operate it."

Zhang Jiu looked at the things drawn on the straw paper and nodded, "Brother, cousin, I think we can invite the craftsmen who made the mechanism and let them use those things here, what do you think?"

Zhang Jiu always felt very magical when he saw the ancient hidden weapons mentioned in the book. It is not impossible to apply these things to weapons, and there may be more surprises. .

"This method is also feasible, I will go to find a craftsman in this area tomorrow."

In addition, Zhang Jiu also has a bold idea, which is to use gunpowder in war. At this time, he actually has the technology to make gunpowder, but it is generally used by civilians, making some simple firecrackers. No one has brought up the idea yet.

In China, gunpowder has existed since the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, there were already land mines and land mines. Daqin also has gunpowder now, but Zhang Jiu still can’t figure out whether he is in a feudal society. If it was the Tang and Song Dynasties, it would be a bit early, if it was the Qin and Han Dynasties, it would be a bit late, anyway, it was a very chaotic period.

It’s not that Zhang Jiu hadn’t thought about using gunpowder in wars before, but he was a little hesitant. He didn’t know if he was interfering in the process of history by doing so, and he wasn’t sure what impact it would have on history. It is not certain that the era of cold weapons will end early.

Today, Zhang Jiu was forced to make this decision. Anyway, he is in chaos. If there is no return, he will be too reconciled. Even if he can't kill them, he will blow them up. Zhang Jiu doesn't believe that people in the era of cold weapons can defeat explosives.

Just do what you say, Zhang Jiu said to Qin Yi, "Brother, help me find some people who can make firecrackers tomorrow."

"Firecrackers? Xiao Jiu, what do you want him to do?" According to their intuition, Zhang Jiu definitely didn't want to play, but had a very important invention.

"The mountain people have their own tricks, and you will know when the time comes." Zhang Jiu sold a hurdle, this time he will do it in secret, and when he is done, he will give them a great surprise. Zhang Jiu thought, even if he can't do it □□Cannon, make some grenades and mines is also possible.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiu had a flash of inspiration, and he also had an idea on the gift for Zhao Chan, so he will not give up on such a multi-tasking thing, and he will definitely be able to achieve a veritable blockbuster by then.

"Why, Xiao Jiu still can't keep it a secret?" Zhang Jiu's attitude made the other people even more curious, and they couldn't wait to know what he was going to do.

"Yes, I just want to keep it a secret." Zhang Jiu nodded, making up his mind not to say more.

Qin Yi and Zhao Ye's eyes turned to Qin Ce at the same time, their intention was obvious, that is to ask Qin Ce to ask.

"Xiao Jiu, what are you going to do? Can't even I say it?" Qin Ce moved closer to Zhang Jiu, but he also knew that he would not have much face in front of Zhang Jiu, so it might be useless to ask. Asked, but due to Qin Yi and Zhao Ye's request, he still had to ask even if he wanted to make fun of himself.

Sure enough, Zhang Jiu turned aside Qin Ce's head, raised his head proudly and said, "No one can say anything, even if the king of heaven comes, I won't say anything."

Seeing him like this, although they all felt itchy in their hearts, they also knew what Zhang Jiu didn't want to say. No one could pick a word out of his mouth. The only thing they could do was a word—— .
