The rebirth of the evil woman is not easy to mess with

Chapter 963 Give them a trick!
"Uncle, what's the matter? Did you find anything?"

Seeing Li Qingmu who hurried back after only going for half an hour, Qi Jingyu couldn't suppress his inner curiosity, and hurried forward to ask.

Li Qingmu frowned, glanced at Li Mubai who was standing beside him with pricked ears, took out a 100 tael bank note from his wallet and said, "You don't have anything to do here, you can go back."

"Ah? Brother, don't you need my help? I have more than [-] brothers who can use it. If you want to break into the village, you two will definitely not be able to do it alone. Let me help you?"

He quickly picked up the banknote, and said with a playful smile: "Even if you don't need people to help you fight, and you need to transport things from here afterwards, someone must help, right?"

Li Qingmu wanted to refuse at first, but after hearing it, he felt that it made sense. When this weird village was captured, the semi-finished and finished products inside would definitely be transported to the town.

He and Qi Jingyu alone would definitely not be able to do this kind of drudgery, not to mention that the emperor Qi Jingyu can't do coolies, even a prince like him hasn't worked hard for many years.

So he took out another 50 taels of silver bill and ordered, you gather your brothers and wait in the nearest town, and I will send someone to notify you when there is a need to contribute.

"Oh, thank you, brother!" Li Mubai was very happy to take 150 taels of silver at once.

These silver taels were more than the money he earned by working on the canal with him, and he hardly contributed anything, which made him conclude that Li Qingmu must be a big shot.

As long as he followed the big shots, he naturally didn't have to worry about running out of soup, but what he wanted to know more was who the people in that village were. Last time they killed one of his brothers, this time they had to find their way back.

It would be even better if we could get a few more weapons of that kind in the village.

There are almost no swords made of fine steel on the market. Even if one occasionally appears, it can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver. Most of the time, even if you have money, you can't buy it.

The second younger brother was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days after he got the fine steel broadsword, and he showed it off to everyone. Although Li Mubai was pretty good at it, he couldn't shame himself to snatch it from his second brother, so he had to give it to his second brother.

If this village can be taken down this time, the fifty or so knives alone will be enough to make him envious. When the time comes to intercede with this big man, maybe he can get a few of them.

Naturally, Li Qingmu didn't know his little thoughts, so he sent Li Mubai away, watched his back go away, and after making sure he couldn't hear him, he said: "I just found something very special in it, you must be very grateful." interest."

Then he explained his discovery in detail, including his own guesses. Qi Jingyu was really shocked when he heard it, and asked in disbelief: "Uncle Huang, are you bluffing me? Stones can burn? It's better than firewood." Sending out higher temperatures? That's ridiculous."

"Is it necessary for me to lie to you? Besides, when have I ever bluffed you?" Li Qingmu scowled displeasedly, forgetting all about fooling this elder nephew before.

Qi Jingyu curled his lips secretly, and said irrefutably: "Uncle Huang is an upright person, so naturally he wouldn't lie to me, but I still can't believe that a stone can burn."

"When I get a few pieces back and burn them in front of you, you will naturally believe them."

Li Qingmu didn't want to argue with him on this aspect, and continued: "According to my estimation, these people's smelting technology has surpassed that of the Ministry of War. If they rebel one day and all of them are equipped with such weapons, our soldiers may suffer a lot! "

On the one hand, soldiers rely on their own strength and peacetime training to fight, but if their weapons are not in their hands and are cut off by others, they will also suffer a lot. If there are enough such weapons, they may be able to complete the process from quantitative change to qualitative change, thereby controlling The outcome of a war.

This is exactly what Li Qingmu is most worried about at the moment.

Qi Jingyu naturally also knew this truth. Apart from the black stones that could burn, he felt that this discovery shocked him even more because he was the current emperor.

And the other party is likely to be a group of rebels with a strong background, and even someone backed by someone above them. If it weren't for this time when they came out of the micro-service private visit and found clues, so that they could plan ahead, the consequences would be very dangerous.

If he still counts on those ministers of the court who are eating the imperial food and not doing their own work, I am afraid that one day the rebels will break into the capital without knowing it.

Thinking of this, Qi Jingyu broke out in a cold sweat, and asked with a chill down his spine: "Uncle Emperor, what should we do now? Wait for their connectors to arrive and catch them all at once?"

"No, the person responsible for transporting this batch of weapons may not necessarily know who is behind the scenes, but if these weapons are lost, the person behind the scenes must be very anxious and will send someone to investigate."

Li Qingmu thought about it just now, instead of catching the connector who came to extract the weapons, it would be better to cooperate with Li Mubai to fight against them and snatch their weapons.

At that time, the other party will definitely make some moves, at least they will send cronies to investigate. In this way, they can follow the clues and continue to investigate. Otherwise, they will not be able to ask anything if they just catch a few small fish and shrimps responsible for escorting swords and weapons.

Having dealt with these underground rats for a long time, Li Qingmu is also advancing with the times, and will think of a more labor-saving and safer way to compete with them, instead of relying on force alone like before.

After hearing Li Qingmu's plan, Qi Jingyu said with a smirk: "Uncle Emperor, your move is really wonderful, not only can you get a batch of high-quality weapons, but you can also lure snakes out of their holes and catch more valuable clues. "

"Hehe, didn't you say that ginger is old and hot?" Li Qingmu glared at him, and said, "If I guessed correctly, the black stone must have come from this mountain. When we break through this place, we can send troops to guard it and mine it!"

This kind of stone can greatly improve the quality of steel, so it is natural to strictly control it. Although I don't know how those people discovered that this kind of stone can burn, they undoubtedly made a wedding dress for Da Zhou.

No matter what dynasty or generation in history, such strategic materials must be controlled by the imperial court, just like salt, mines, gold and silver. If anyone can mine it, wouldn't it be a mess?
Knowing the pros and cons of this, Qi Jingyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Emperor, when we catch these rebels, I will definitely send troops to guard this place."

Judging from Uncle Huang's expression, he probably didn't play tricks on himself. Although Uncle Huang is sometimes not very authentic, and he specially tricks his nephew, but he is very measured in front of such big things, and he will never make jokes.

"Okay, I'll go get some wild game in a while, and we'll stand guard here. When the linker shows up, we'll contact the bandits and snatch the weapons under their banner."

"Uncle Huang, are you not afraid of being found out by lighting a fire here?" Qi Jingyu asked puzzled.

"..."

Li Qingmu scolded angrily: "You silly nephew, why don't we find a cave, or simply go to the other side of the mountain to eat? Don't you have any brains?"
