Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 222

"Haizhou Port will become more and more prosperous in the future. I visited Nanjing once every 20 days, and I have lived a good life for half a year after I came back. The dock business also needs cars and horses. I don't think my husband is very happy?"

The old man smirked twice and sighed softly: "Officials have good eyesight, but these silvers can't keep much! One for the car dealer, one for each official, another for the green skin, and the three rates are stopped for one rate. You still have to pay, don’t you? Damn it! The old man’s family’s fields have been confiscated, and the agricultural tax has to be paid!”

"Received?"

"Take it and sell it to those merchants! Oh, don't ask the officials, the old man can't understand it."

Pei Wu was silent for a moment when he heard this, and asked casually as if he wanted to find something to talk about during the boring journey: "I heard from you, old man, that you sent a lot of people from the north?"

Hearing the words, the old man also seemed to be chatting, and replied with a smile: "Exactly! They all came from Shuntian, officials, you don't know, there are few here in Haizhou, but there are big ones in Shandong. People are fleeing to Shandong!

Alas!You don't know, officer, it wasn't like this before!Before, everyone heard that the Tartars did not charge two salaries. I don't know how many people went to the Tartars!But the result!The one who ran back said it!fart!Then you have to pay it!It's no different from our Daming!If you go, you have to be a slave to others! "

The old man said with joy.

Pei Wu couldn't laugh.

What the old man said was indeed true.

But what the old man didn't know was that under the infiltration and investigation of Jin Yiwei, the slaves were paid, but the pay that should be collected was basically collected.

Building slaves and stationing troops, the green battalion also has a state of lack of payment, but the situation of the bottom and middle-level soldiers drinking blood is much less, and they will be reissued in a timely manner to avoid excessive payment delays.

Daming couldn't do this.

"Yucai! Long time no see! Unexpectedly, His Majesty will send you south! Come, come! Let's go in and talk!"

Wang Chengen came out from his munitions manor wearing a fur coat, and he hurriedly waved his servants to add a piece of clothing to Pei Wu during the welcome.

After entering the manor, Pei Wu didn't gossip, and directly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen, who thought it was some kind of blueprint, opened it, and his face changed instantly!Full of horror and shame, covering his old face with a very sad expression, his lips trembling, he slid off the chair and fell to the ground, knelt down and kowtowed towards the northeast.

"The old slave is incompetent!"

Wang Chengen burst into tears and choked up in an instant.

The content of the letter is very simple.

Zhu Youjian asked Wang Chengen to help send Pei Wu to Xi'an, and asked Pei Wu to try to get in touch with Princess Kunxing who was under house arrest and protect her. If possible, it would be best to find a chance to rescue her.

And the reason why Wang Chengen was ashamed and terrified was also very simple.

As a servant of the emperor, forget about the son of the emperor!

Know it!
But for two full years, no practical action was taken!

When Pei Wu helped him up, Wang Chengen only felt a little dizzy when he held his forehead.

I'm afraid this matter will affect His Majesty's opinion of him.

Affecting official career. Not right!

I'm afraid it will affect Daoxing!
Well, from the bottom of his heart, Pharaoh Mozheng is ready to help Daming, go to the West to pass on his fame through the ages, be enshrined for generations, and then follow Zhu Youjian to soar in the daytime.

"This matter must be done with all our strength!"

Wang Chengen grabbed Pei Wu's arm, as if grabbing a life-saving straw!
"The emperor bestows jade talents! All the best, and the jade talents must go all out! Not only the princess, but also the prince! Save the princess! Yucai just do his best to save the princess! The prince, then let us figure out a way! You, you and the prince Let's come!"

Speaking tremblingly, he dragged Pei Wu into the basement of the munitions factory.

"master."

"Who are you!"

"Master, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing Wang Chengen's dizzy expression, the warriors watching the gate immediately put their hands on the hilt of the knife.

Wang Chengen hurried over.

"Open the door!"

"Oh, sir, are you all right?"

"Go away!"

When Wang Chengen entered the basement, he hurriedly went smoothly and recruited two master craftsmen in charge.

"First look at the Samadhi Fire, Shocking Thunder, and then the new-style Long Xiao Gun, lead the way."

After a while, a few people wandered around the basement for a while, but instead came to a room on the ground.

The master who led the way knew that he wanted to show it to Pei Wu, so he simply asked Wang Chengen, "Master, did you tell me the way?"

"Say it! After reading it, I will make some supplements and give it to him."

"to make."

And Pei Wu saw that the master carefully took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle from a wooden box in the corner of the house.

"This fetish is called Samadhi Fire, and it's extremely violent. It's fine to keep it in your arms or carry it in your arms, but remember not to be contaminated with any sparks! Otherwise, it will ignite instantly, and after it explodes, the fire will splatter! Even sand and sand are hard to extinguish !

After the syrup is mixed in, people just dip a little on it!Even if the fire is turned off, the sticky syrup will burn people to death!So remember to keep it well, don't touch the fire, please come with me. "

"Remember!"

The master said with a look of lingering fear on his face, and Wang Chengen also solemnly reminded him.

Afterwards, the master led the two of them out of the house, entered a small open space on the side, carefully opened the porcelain bottle, and stuffed it with a piece of cotton cloth.

"Try to pack the cotton cloth as tightly as possible. If this stuff gets on your hands, if it is accidentally ignited, it will burn bones. When using it, you need to back away as much as possible to avoid being affected by the splashing fire."

After speaking, the master took out a scythe and lit the cotton cloth, and the raging fire burned instantly.

"Oh!"

Throwing it in the snow-covered open space, a huge ball of fire exploded immediately, and the fire splashed in all directions, melting all the snow underneath in an instant.

"It's much better than the kerosene used in the military, but it's a bit more expensive and can't be used in the military."

"Go and prepare ten cans, just make them the size of a fist, the kind that can be used after being sealed and inserted with a cotton core."

The master nodded, turned his head and went into the room and took out another black iron ball with a wooden stick.

"The new type of thunderbolt is also a good thing. This one has to stand farther away, behind the baffle."

Pei Wu saw that there was a shield car with a hole in the back.

"The Zhentianlei in the army is incomparable to this treasure. It is light and powerful, and it is unthinkable to explode it in a crowd! This rope is not used to ignite the fire. Look, as long as you pull it off, it will blow up." works!"

"boom!"

The grenade was thrown into the previous pile of flames, and Pei Wu could only see flames mixed with explosions sweeping through the observation hole!A large piece of broken shrapnel and iron balls crackled and crackled around.

There is even a shield car in front of him.

And the explosion was full of fire, and ran up the house.

It is also on the house where the inventory is placed.

Da Jiang and Wang Cheng'en were frightened and cried out again and again. A group of people splashed sand, covered it with soil and snow, and it took a while to get rid of it.

Wang Chengen and the two dragged Pei Wu to hide very far away, and they were relieved when the fire was extinguished.

"It's okay, it's okay, Haha Yucai remember to be cautious when using this kind of weapon. None of the artifacts bestowed by His Majesty are good old Li Tou, go get the Longxiao Gun!"

This time, he entered the underground shooting range.

And in front of Pei Wu were two double-barreled shotguns.

One long and one short.

"Your Majesty gave me a complete set of blueprints. Although it was extremely difficult to make, a number of master craftsmen worked together to produce two qualified artifacts. One is long and the other is short. Each has its own merits! You can try the jade directly. It is not much different from before. the difference."

Pei Wu nodded when he heard the words, feeling in his heart that Wang Chengen has a lot of good things here, or that the blueprints given by His Majesty are really amazing.

This has to think about the Outlaws of the Marsh.

Thinking about the rumor that was spread among the Twenty Brocade Guards, Pei Wu loaded his short-barreled gun and fired two shots at the target without feeling anything.

"Reload."

Pei Wu did as he did, and as soon as he opened the trigger, the two empty shell casings popped out.

The big craftsman at the side smiled triumphantly: "This way the bomb can be reloaded faster."

After speaking, he pointed to the long barrel: "This long gun shoots farther, and the power of this black ammunition is horrifying! It can be seen that the two layers of armor are nothing!"

Wang Chengen held Pei Wu's hand at the right time.

"Yucai! Our family's heart was all on this village before, and we really have no time to worry about the princess! Now it's all about Yucai you! We must welcome Kunxing back! Kunxing!"
