I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 159 The truth is only within the range of the cannon
Shenbang.

senate.

Today's protagonist is not the elder, but two justices who are arguing.

"I'll say it again, changing grain to cotton is the trend, and the palace of greed can't change anything!"

Judge Gured stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and shouted dissatisfiedly.

After losing weight for more than half a year, and with the medicine given by that person, Judge Gured is in better health than before.

After losing weight, he can also spend more time and energy on dealing with affairs, and even walk out of the Palace of Greed by himself.

On the opposite side of Judge Gured, Judge Grotney, who is in charge of managing the Temple of Slashing and Plowing, is also a crime of gluttony.

Justice Grotney also had some changes.

He is not as thin as before, his face is also rosy, leaning on crutches, retorted,
"If all the grain fields are used to grow cotton, if the orcs come again, the grain of Shenbang will not last for three months!"

Cotton, after all, is ripe once a year, and cannot be eaten directly.

In this era, food is definitely the most important strategic material.

If a large area is changed to cotton, the food supply will not be in short supply. After all, the slash-and-slash temple can be adjusted according to the market.

The grain reserves of the Slash Hall have always been abundant.

However, considering the orc attack, the situation is completely different.

This year, due to the attack of the orcs, the harvest has been reduced a lot, and it is necessary to spend the stored grain to survive the winter.

Pure grain is reduced, and then plant cotton in a large area, and wait for the orcs to come.
Shenbang directly opened the purgatory mode.

"Please use your brain, don't be like those idiots!"

The idiots that Justice Gurd said were, of course, the elders.

Who stipulated that in the Senate, you can't tell jokes about the elders?

Justice Gured said seriously,

"Historically, the orcs have never traveled south in two consecutive years!"

"You also said that was history!"

Justice Grotney was tit-for-tat, uncompromising,

"If you make a mistake, do you know how many people will die because of it?"

Empiricism?

Justice Grotney does not accept this!
"This is eight hundred years of history!"

Judge Gured was sweating profusely and took a big sip of water.

No matter what he said, he couldn't convince the stubborn old man in front of him.

Without the approval of the Slash Hall, it is impossible to promote the cotton planting on a large scale.

The opinion of the Senate is, of course, on the side of Justice Gured.

They bought a large number of spinning machines from Luden, and naturally needed more cotton.

The working efficiency of these spinning machines, as Luden said, can save a lot of manpower and material resources!
After weaving, whether it is sold locally by Shenbang or shipped out by commercial routes, the profit of foreign trade is very high!

After the textile machine was obtained, some people did try to imitate it, and soon discovered the problem.

If the spring used in the spinning machine is produced by itself, the quality of the product cannot be guaranteed at all, which will further affect the efficiency of the spinning machine.

If you go directly to Lu Deng to buy springs, you can ask for hundreds of meters each. Add a little money, and it is enough to buy a spinning machine directly!
Why waste this matter?

People soon realized that imitating textile machines was not a good way out.

Therefore, they continued to purchase a large number of spinning machines from Luden, preparing to expand production.

Cotton is out of supply!
The fields in the countryside are ready to be replanted with cotton on a large scale, but they still can't get around the hurdle of slashing and plowing.

There is no clear jurisdictional relationship among the justices.

If Justice Grotney really refuses to let go, Justice Gured has nothing to do with him.

Moreover, the reasons given by Justice Grotney are also very valid.

If the worst happens, Shenbang will starve to death, many people!

Judge Gured was so annoyed that he rolled his eyes,
"Orc brain!"

He sat back in his seat angrily, not wasting any more words.

Grotney sighed heavily, glanced around with pity, and finally landed on the tribune Luden,

"Mr. Luden, I don't understand."

Grotney was blunt,

"You should be clear that my request is not too much. It only takes one year to restore the food storage in the Slash Hall to the level before the orcs came. By that time, you can grow cotton as you like, and I will never say no." , why don’t you even wait for a year?”

Grotney is very clear that the driving force behind all this is none other than Mr. Luden.

"I quite agree with you, Lord Grotney."

Luden corrected the other party rigorously,
"Cotton or grain, it makes no difference to me.

Although I sell all the textile machines on the market, when selling textile machines, I also promise everyone that I will not get involved in the textile industry in the next year! "

Lu Deng was not in a hurry, not at all.

On the contrary, the holy families, wealthy businessmen, and even the judges of the Slash Temple are in a hurry!
They saw the gold mine right in front of them, and wanted to reach out and touch it!
Grotney sighed again.
"You really haven't changed, it's them who have changed."

Overnight, the spinning machine seemed to have magical powers, making everyone extremely anxious, just like Mr. Luden!
That's right, everyone's greedy appearance has Mr. Luden's shadow.

What the hell, how did things turn out like this!
Justice Grotney gave his bottom line,

"I won't agree to this without solving the orc problem."

Hearing this sentence, smiles appeared on the faces of the elders, and they were even eager to try.

Compared with the justices, the elders are indeed at a disadvantage.

but,

Elders have a power.

When there is a disagreement between the justices, they can impeach a certain justice and let him stand trial in the Citizens' Assembly!
Once more than half of the people cast a vote of no confidence, then Justice Grotney must leave the Temple of Slashing!

They can't solve the problem raised by Justice Grotney, but they can solve the person who raised the problem!
From ancient times to the present, solving people has always been a simpler and more convenient method.

Justice Grotney is also well aware.

His persistence, from his point of view, is for the sake of Shenbang.

In the eyes of others, it is blocking their way of making money!

Block people's way of wealth, such as murdering parents.

He still understands this truth.

At this time, Judge Ruoff of the War Palace stood up,
"The Palace of War can guarantee that even if the orcs go south, we will have a solution."

He is no longer acting justice.

After the citizens' assembly, with the support of the tribune Luden, he successfully removed the word "agent".

but,

The price behind this is heavy.

He became Pong's spokesperson, a marionette, and completely voiced for Pong and other soldiers.

However, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the War Palace, and everyone is not too surprised.

The previous Justice Ruoff of the War Palace did not have much right to speak in front of Pang Ge.

"Promises are useless."

Grotney shook his head,

"Unless you can give me enough food, or more convincing evidence."

However, Grotney is also very strange, why is Justice Ruoff so confident?

Who gave him confidence?

Judge Gured closed his eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he opened his eyes and said helplessly,

"Take him to see something like that."

Justice Gured liked this Grottney very much, and the other party's restraint on gluttony was perfect.

I have been an old partner for many years, and Gu Ruide will be very distressed if he changes someone.

Hearing Judge Gured's words, Judge Ruoff nodded in agreement.

In the end, Luden also nodded, agreeing to the suggestion.

something like that?

A question mark appeared above Judge Grotney's head, and he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.

Under Lu Deng's arrangement, several people from the Inquisition Office sent the three justices and tribunes to the carriage.

Each was also given a black belt to cover their eyes.

Several people sat in the carriage, and after a long silence, the carriage finally stopped.

"Everything you see next is the top secret of Shenbang, and it must be kept secret!"

After repeated notifications, the members of the Inquisition Office, please get off the car.

It was the first time for Grotney to come, and he found himself outside the quarry. The ground of the quarry was potholed, as if countless meteorites had fallen.

he asked suspiciously,
"here is?"

"Do not ask."

Judge Ruoff said helplessly,
"Ask is confidential!"

When he first came, he had exactly the same reaction as the other party.

"What I'm demonstrating to you now is called artillery in the history of Qiyun."

For the appearance of this thing, Lu Deng was also very helpless.

Even if Luden adjusted the production plan and slowed down the mine, the production capacity of steel was still overflowing!

Luden has exhausted all methods, and he even started to try to reproduce the steam engine!

Finally, Luden found a home for these steels - artillery!
Is there any better steel carrier than a cannon?
Judge Gured, what did you choose, idol!

The gun body is steel, the fort is steel, and the shell is steel
As for the formula of gunpowder, Luden couldn't be bothered.

Cannon design?

Lu Deng has done this kind of thing once in Qiyun Kingdom, and he is familiar with it.

With the previous experience, he is even more skilled!
After the first cannon was produced, Luden secretly invited the Palace of War and the Palace of Greed to participate in the experiment.

Facts have proved that for carbon-based organisms, artillery is still a dimensionality reduction strike.

Even an orc can't resist the shells with an orc.

After introducing the artillery, Luden raised his hands and blocked his ears with his fingers.

Justices Ruoff and Gured did the same.

Justice Grotney is a little strange, why do you block it?
boom--

After a loud noise, countless dust splashed up.

Judge Grotney felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and the ringing in his ears occupied everything in his brain, and he even felt a little unsteady on his feet.

After a few minutes, Judge Grotney stood up and looked at the quarry ahead with a look of disbelief.

"This, this, this"

If every cannon had such power
Orcs, what are you afraid of?
Got it, got it all!

In Judge Grotney's eyes, the same flame as Judge Gured's was ignited.

called the flame of greed.

On the second day,
The Palace of Slashing and Cultivation issued the latest decree, allowing farmers to change their plowed fields to cotton, and allowing them to pay taxes directly with cotton.
