Happy Comeback [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 48
Qiao Chen was standing by the table drawing, looking up from time to time to Xiao Qinan who was studying with the gun barrel in his hand. It seemed that it was the nature of soldiers in every time and space to like to study weapons.
In fact, the gun barrel that Qiao Chen made uses the principle of modern fireworks. There is a flint inside the gun barrel. Turn the tail of the gun barrel to ignite the flint, and the gunpowder inside will be fired. There is no pistol in this gun barrel It is so accurate, and the range is not far enough. It can only be used twice at a time before refilling the ammunition, but it is already very powerful in ancient times.
Qiao Chen originally didn't want to make this kind of thing in ancient times, worried that someone would use it to hurt people, but after thinking about it, with the development of the times and the passage of time, such things will appear in this time and space sooner or later, And whether it hurts or not mainly depends on the person's body, not the weapon's body. Even if he doesn't make such a cannon barrel, the sword, gun, sword and halberd can still hurt people.And this is not the time and space of martial arts, killing is not illegal, whoever is good can kill at will.
It's just that he needs to think about how to use the cannon barrel. Thinking of the people Cheng Jingrui arranged to monitor and investigate him, Qiao Chen smiled and already had an idea in his mind.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Qinan hugged Qiao Chen from behind.
Qiao Chen put down the pen, turned around and hugged Xiao Qinan and asked, "You held the cannon barrel and looked at it for a long time, did you see anything coming?"
"You can't see anything just by looking outside." Xiao Qinan actually wanted to disassemble the cannon barrel to have a look, but he was afraid of breaking it, so he was a little bit reluctant.
"I will draw a blueprint for you, and you can send someone to do it. You can make as much as you want, and you have to publicize it. I will tell you how to make this barrel."
"Why do you want to publicize it? Isn't your situation in the Cheng family more difficult?"
"I have my own reasons, and you will know why in the future."
After Xiao Qinan went back, he immediately asked people to start manufacturing cannon barrels in large quantities according to the drawings drawn by Qiao Chen, and asked the soldiers to demonstrate the power of their new cannon barrels in front of everyone, and everyone who watched was shocked.
The manufacturing method of this cannon barrel is what Qiao Chen told the Xiao family and it has already spread. After Yongan Wang knew it, he was anxious and angry, and he called Cheng Su to reprimand him again.
Cheng Su was also anxious after being given the final order by King Yong'an, but he couldn't see Qiao Chen, and he couldn't force his way into Hanwu Temple, so he really didn't know what to do.
So every day, Mrs. Xu set up rules in front of Mr. Shu, and after suffering a lot, Mrs. Xu gave Cheng Su a note, asking him to invite the old lady back. If the old lady is here, Mrs. Shu will not have a good life, and Qiao Chen will never He will let his mother suffer and stay in Hanshan Temple without paying attention, and will definitely return to the Hou Mansion when the time comes.
After thinking about it, Cheng Su thought it made sense. He asked Mr. Shu to go to Hanshan Temple to find Qiao Chen several times, but Mr. Shu refused to go. He is a man who can never do anything to his wife, and his reputation is really bad, but It will be different if the mother comes back. It is only natural for the mother-in-law to teach the daughter-in-law.
So Cheng Su immediately wrote a letter, and then sent someone to the south to bring the old lady back to Luodu City.
Cheng Jingrui had already drank two pots of tea in the private room of Hongyun Tea House, and the person he was waiting for finally came in belatedly.
"It will be really hard to see you, Mr. Zhang." Cheng Jingrui looked for Zhang Guangyao four or five times, and finally saw him today.
"I can't help it. I have too many things to do every day, and there are too many people who want to see me. I hope you will forgive me for neglecting Mr. Cheng." Zhang Guangyao was full of careless arrogance. He sat down opposite Cheng Jingrui. Asked, "I just don't know why Mr. Cheng is so eager to see me?"
"I want to discuss a business with you." Cheng Jingrui said straight to the point.
"Are you talking about business with me?" Zhang Guangyao said with a bit of disdain in his tone, "I'll be honest, Mr. Cheng, don't mind, as far as the things in your shop are concerned, I can't see anything, so business... …,forget it."
Although Cheng Jingrui was unhappy because of Zhang Guangyao's words, he still tried his best to keep calm and said, "I'm not talking about the business in my shop, but another big business to be done."
"Then you can talk about it first and see if I'm interested. I don't do all kinds of business." Zhang Guangyao raised his hand and said.
"You should know about the cannon barrels that Xiao's army built some time ago?" Cheng Jingrui asked.
"I know." Zhang Guangyao nodded and said, "There should be no one in Luodu City who doesn't know about it, after all, that thing is quite powerful."
Cheng Jingrui took out a cannon barrel from his sleeve and put it on the table and said, "What I want to do with you is this business."
"Do this business." Zhang Guangyao took a look at the cannon barrel in his hand and said, "The cost of this kind of thing is not low. Who would buy this for ordinary people and keep it at home? If it is bought by a dignitary, it will be fine. One shot, except for an army like Xiao's army, who would need this?"
"Can you make it? If you can make it, I will guarantee that someone will buy it." Cheng Jingrui said.
"To tell you the truth, this is actually just a firecracker tube, and there is nothing difficult about it. I think the things sold in Mr. Cheng's shop are not for ordinary people. Could it be that you can't make them yourself?" Zhang Guangyao said Said mysteriously.
"If I can do it, will I still come to you?" Cheng Jingrui really can't do it. Although he has studied this cannon barrel, he doesn't know how to get many things in it.
"If you can't do it, Cheng Jingyun can tell you, isn't he your big brother?" Zhang Guangyao asked with a puzzled expression.
"You don't have to ask about these things, you just say whether you want to do this business or not."
Zhang Guangyao pushed the barrel back in front of Cheng Jingrui and said, "Sorry, I can't do this business, you should find someone else."
"Didn't you say it's easy to make this thing? Why can't it be done again?" Cheng Jingrui said with a frown.
"It's not difficult to make this thing, but the key is who do I sell it to? And if we offend the Xiao family because of this thing, how can our Zhang family get along in Luodu City? People don't fight with officials since ancient times. All make sense."
"I said you don't have to worry about no one buying it, you are responsible for doing it, I am responsible for selling it, and I will take care of everything."
Zhang Guangyao still shook his head and said, "If I really did it, didn't I make it clear that I would be an enemy of the Xiao family? Our family is just a merchant's family, and it can't compare to your backing. If something happens, I will definitely be the one who suffers the most. It won't be yours."
Seeing that Zhang Guangyao was still unwilling, Cheng Jingrui threatened with a sullen face, "You are so afraid of offending the Xiao family, aren't you afraid of offending King Yong'an? Let me tell you the truth, this is what King Yong'an ordered me to do. If you disagree, I promise Your Zhang family still can't survive in Luodu City."
Zhang Guangyao's expression darkened when he heard Cheng Jingrui's words. He stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, looking very embarrassed.
King Yong'an actually didn't know about Cheng Jingrui's coming to find Zhang Guangyao, and Cheng Jingrui wanted to ask for credit from King Yong'an after everything was done.
Cheng Jingrui said, "You have to think about it. King Yong'an is more popular than the Xiao family now, and there are more people who support King Yong'an. If you don't take advantage of the current team..."
"I can do it for you, but I have a request." Zhang Guangyao sat down and said as if he had come down with great determination, "I will help you do it secretly, but you can't reveal to anyone that I did it for you." Yes, you can make up whatever you made yourself or someone else’s, but you can’t say that I did it, I can’t offend King Yong’an, and I can’t offend the Xiao family, our family can’t openly be an enemy of the Xiao family.”
"Yes, I agree with your request." Cheng Jingrui never thought that Zhang Guangyao, as a modern person, would be so timid and afraid of getting into trouble, standing on the side of King Yong'an, so what if he openly opposed the Xiao family, anyway, the Xiao family would end sooner or later , but he couldn't ask for more from Zhang Guangyao, so the credit is his alone.
"I have one more request. As long as you agree, this matter can be settled." Zhang Guangyao said.
"Tell me."
"You pay first, and I will make it for you. I will make as many things for you as you pay."
"How much do you want?"
"You can give me 10 taels first, and I will make as much as I can for [-] taels."
"10 taels?" Cheng Jingrui said in surprise, "You don't have to do that much."
"10 taels may not be able to make much. Although it is simple to make this gun barrel, it is not easy to get the things inside. Otherwise, why would I tell you that the cost of this thing is so high that ordinary people can't afford it?"
"Didn't you say this is a firecracker?"
"Its principle is that there is nothing wrong with a firecracker tube, but it is not a real firecracker tube after all, and I have never made this thing before. I always have to study and research first, and then earn some hard work by myself, right? 10 taels If you still think it’s too much, then there’s really nothing to do in this business.”
"You..." Cheng Jingrui wanted to move out King Yong'an to lower the price, but Zhang Guangyao interrupted him before he could say it.
"Hey, don't use King Yong'an to oppress me anymore. Although I cherish my life, I also love money. If you push me into a hurry, I'll go directly to the Xiao family."
Cheng Jingrui was worried that if Zhang Guangyao was really forced to join the Xiao family, it would be difficult for King Yongan to explain it to him, and he had made a lot of money in the past, so 10 taels was still affordable. "Well, when will you start doing it?" .”
"Whenever you send me the money, I will do it for you."
"I'll send you money at this time tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
After the two agreed, Cheng Jingrui left the teahouse.
Zhang Guangyao stood by the window and watched Cheng Jingrui's carriage go away, then went to the next room, and respectfully saluted the person who was sitting drinking tea, "Teacher."
"You did well." Qiao Chen put down the teacup in his hand and said, "From now on, just follow what I taught you before. If he said something that you don't understand, you don't have to answer him, you just need to do something. Look so unpredictable, then come back and tell me, I will teach you how to deal with it."
"Yes, teacher." Zhang Guangyao replied respectfully, without the arrogance he showed in front of Cheng Jingrui just now.
Zhang Guangyao is Zhang Hong's youngest son. He liked to draw since he was a child. Ever since he saw Qiao Chen's paintings, he wanted to worship Qiao Chen as his teacher. In fact, Qiao Chen was only two or three years older than him.
Qiao Chen didn't formally accept him as an apprentice, but just occasionally pointed out his paintings, and he started calling Qiao Chen Teacher, and refused to change his words, so Qiao Chen could only let him go.
Zhang Guangyao is quite a smart person, and it is true that he accidentally fell into the water while drawing by the water more than a year ago, and he had a high fever for several days after being rescued.
After Qiao Chen knew about this matter, he began to make arrangements. Everything that Cheng Jingrui found was what Qiao Chen wanted him to find out. Next, he had to put Cheng Jingrui and King Yong'an into his trap step by step. In the trap.
In fact, the gun barrel that Qiao Chen made uses the principle of modern fireworks. There is a flint inside the gun barrel. Turn the tail of the gun barrel to ignite the flint, and the gunpowder inside will be fired. There is no pistol in this gun barrel It is so accurate, and the range is not far enough. It can only be used twice at a time before refilling the ammunition, but it is already very powerful in ancient times.
Qiao Chen originally didn't want to make this kind of thing in ancient times, worried that someone would use it to hurt people, but after thinking about it, with the development of the times and the passage of time, such things will appear in this time and space sooner or later, And whether it hurts or not mainly depends on the person's body, not the weapon's body. Even if he doesn't make such a cannon barrel, the sword, gun, sword and halberd can still hurt people.And this is not the time and space of martial arts, killing is not illegal, whoever is good can kill at will.
It's just that he needs to think about how to use the cannon barrel. Thinking of the people Cheng Jingrui arranged to monitor and investigate him, Qiao Chen smiled and already had an idea in his mind.
