I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 259

Chapter 259

Originally, Mengchen wanted to make gunpowder, but although Mengchen knew the principle of this thing, he didn't know the specific ratio, especially the sulfur, which is basically unknown with the current knowledge.

Fortunately, Mengchen drew a map of ore veins from the system, and there are specific records in it.

But at present, disaster relief is the first priority, and the mining of the veins can only be discussed later.

As for saltpeter, as long as there is a latrine at home, you can definitely find it, but the output is relatively small.

Meng Chen is not short of saltpeter, all thanks to Zhang Lu.

The Five Dou Rice Sect is also one of Taoism, and Zhang Lu is also interested in alchemy. Hanzhong County already has a lot of saltpeter, and Meng Chen is just sitting back and enjoying it.

The production of charcoal is easier, but the trial production of gunpowder takes time, especially since Ma Jun is so busy now, Meng Chen can't bear to add more workload to Ma Jun.

Ma Jun is easy to use, but Meng Chen knows that no matter how capable a person is, there are times when he cannot be separated from him.

In case something happened to Ma Jun, Meng Chen would lose more than gain.

Selling overturned cars belongs to the category of doing business. Jia Xu is not good at this kind of thing, but Jia Xu only needs to provide the method of doing things, and others will naturally rush to do the rest.

Not to mention the Mi family, they were originally from Jia merchants, but now because of Mrs. Mi, they are considered the boss of Jia merchants in Chang'an.

But Mengchen didn't want a situation where the family dominates, so he privately sent someone to deliver a message to the Zhen family.

In Chang'an City, in the compound of the Zhen Mansion, Zhen Yi received a message from Meng Chen's men, and his eyes were full of strange expressions.

Originally, he thought that the Zhen family would get through smoothly like this, which would be considered a good ending.

But what the person said just now made the remaining fighting spirit in Zhen Yi's heart burn instantly.

"Ma'am, what the general said is that he doesn't want a situation where one family dominates."

"Master be careful, you can't guess what the general wants, but the Zhen family only needs to act according to the general's wishes." Mrs. Zhen reminded carefully.

After experiencing the incident last time, Mrs. Zhen became more cautious, especially when it came to matters related to General Meng Chen, she was extremely cautious.

"What madam said is very true!" Zhen Yi nodded, the current situation of the Zhen family is inseparable from his wife.

"Father, mother, I heard that the general's wife is happy, and Mi'er has made some delicious pastries." Just as Zhen Yi and his wife finished speaking, Zhen Mi's voice came out.

"You child, what kind of crazy idea do you have?" Zhen Yi scolded in a low voice, not angry at all, but a smile on his face.

Among his several daughters, Zhen Mi was the only girl who was smart and smart, even though she was still a half-grown child, but what she said just now was not a suggestion for Zhen Yi.

If the Zhen family wants to rise, it must not bypass the Mi family, but no matter how it develops, fighting in the nest is the most taboo thing for Meng Chen.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to try it out from the Mi family and express your intentions.

"Master, since Mi'er said so, let this child go." Madam Zhen stretched out her hand to embrace Zhen Mi into her arms, and said to Zhen Yi.

"Well, that's fine, the general has a good impression of Mier, so she's the reason why."

Hearing this, Zhen Mi giggled, and immediately spread out her hands. Zhen Yi was slightly taken aback by this move, and then laughed and patted Zhen Mi's head.

Since it was a door-to-door visit, it was impossible for Zhen Mi to go there empty-handed, the pastry was just an excuse, and giving gifts was also a matter of incidentals.

In the early morning of the second day, accompanied by the housekeeper, Zhen Mi headed towards the general.

Fortunately, Zhen Mi's luck is good, and Meng Shan happens to return from work.

"Brother Mengshan!"

A crisp voice came, Meng Shan looked back for no reason, a little girl jumped out of a carriage, she looked very familiar.

"Little sister Zhen Mi, I met Brother Meng Shan!" The little girl spoke again, and Meng Chen finally remembered.

"Little girl, are you here to find the young master?" Meng Shan stretched out his hand towards Zhen Mi's face, but Zhen Mi cleverly dodged it.

"Brother Mengshan, Zhen Mi's face can only be pinched by the general!"

Hearing the words, Meng Shan was really embarrassed, there was a hint of threat in these words, but the little girl in front of him clearly had a smile on his face, which shocked Meng Shan in his heart.

"Let's go, go in with someone." Meng Shan shook his head, and could only lead Zhen Mi to the mansion.

Even though Zhen Mi is only ten years old, Meng Shan vaguely remembers what Meng Chen once said: "This girl Zhen Mi is not easy to mess with!"

In the study of the General's Mansion, Meng Chen was reviewing official documents from various places, even Liu Bowen and Jia Xu were doing the same.

"My lord, Zhen Mi asks to see you."

Wenshi, Meng Chen stretched his waist, put down the brush in his hand, then smiled and said: "Let that ghostly girl come in."

"Hmph! The general knows how to bully Mi'er, it's a waste of Mi'er's good intentions to make such a delicious pastry."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bowen and Jia Xu also stopped writing and looked up at the door.

"Haha, Ben Hou is just hungry, bring it here and let Ben Hou taste it!"

Zhen Mi grinned, walked in quickly with the food box in hand, took out one plate and handed it to Meng Chen, then took out two more plates and placed them in front of Liu Bowen and Jia Xu.

"Yeah, it tastes good. Zhen'er has been clamoring for dessert these days, so send the rest." Meng Chen muttered, waved his hand, and then buried himself in his work.

Liu Bowen and Jia Xu looked at each other, each took a piece of pastry and put it in their mouths: "Mmm, it tastes really good!"

In the backyard of the General's Mansion, when Zhen Mi appeared, it caused a commotion, not because of how cute this girl was, but because of her mouth that looked like she had eaten honey.

Cai Yan, Mi Zhen, and Fu Shou, who were coaxed for a while, beamed with joy!

Only Amy was a little embarrassed, because Zhen Mi really didn't know how to answer the questions Zhen Mi asked her for advice.

"Okay, Mi Er, Aimiya is from Guishuang Kingdom, which is different from the Han people." Cai Yan opened his mouth and relieved Aimiya.

"Oh!" Zhen Mi replied in disappointment, looked at her own chest, then at Amy's chest, and sighed helplessly, which made all the girls laugh even more.

"Sister Zhen, Mi'er has something else to do today." After laughing, Zhen Mi finally spoke.

"Daddy said that in a few days, he will go south to help the general sell big wheels. Here is a list of old people who used to do grain business. I hope sister Zhen will take care of them."

While talking, Zhen Mi took out a paper list from the kit at her waist and handed it over.

Don't look at the lightness of Zhen Mi's words, but Mi Zhen quickly understood the intention of the Zhen family.

After calming down, Mi Zhen took Zhen Mi into her arms and said, "My sister has not been visiting the family for a long time, but I can convey it to Mi Er."

"Hee hee, sister is the best, Mi'er doesn't have to go home and be punished!" Zhen Mi shouted, as if relieved of a heavy burden.
