Chapter 417 Too much, too much!
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but shake.
He and Li Shimin didn't know much about flying fire, that is, gunpowder, but only knew that this was something new, and it was practiced by a Taoist priest when he was refining alchemy. Later, Fang Yiai was promoted and made firecrackers and fireworks, which shocked Chang'an.
Then, he continued to work hard and made flying fires and shells.
Because they don’t know the process, they don’t have a concept of how much this thing costs. Fang Jun said it at this time, which really surprised him.
Of course, what surprised him even more was Fang Jun’s speed of making money!
In fact, many smart people in Chang'an have seen the Fang family's son-in-law's mansion making money.
Everything he created has become popular in Chang'an, and even in the Tang Dynasty. It is not a false saying that it is worth a lot of money every day.
He is definitely likely to earn tens of thousands of dollars a day.
The people in the court naturally coveted the money, but Li Shimin didn't mention it, and everyone was embarrassed to mention it.
What is money? Money is the foundation of the country, money is soldiers, and money is a spear. Money can make the devil push the mill, not to mention that it is not a few hundred or thousands of coins, but tens of thousands of coins, or even hundreds of thousands of coins.
You should know that the treasury income of the Tang Dynasty in one year was only more than 20 million jin. Excluding various expenditures, the surplus was less than 2 million jin.
For ordinary people, Fang Jun’s money is already an astronomical figure.
"How can we actually need so much silver to create a flying fire?"
"If Duke Zhao doesn't believe it, he can go and ask some craftsmen to ask and try it out! There are not many people who can make gunpowder skillfully and safely in the Tang Dynasty, and every craftsman who can do is extremely precious. This thing is too dangerous. If you don't give enough monthly money, how can they work hard?"
"Fang Jun has indeed made a little more money than others this year, which is coveted. However, as the princess said, the Prince Consort's Mansion has always earned these silver ounces with dignity. If Duke Zhao wants it, he can also ask someone to give it to him, and the money is just dirt!"
When Changsun Wuji heard this, his face was solemn.
After thinking about it, he sighed, "So, the contribution that Prince Concubine Fang made in the Battle of Gogurye is much greater than that of Your Majesty and We imagined?"
"I didn't say this, what I said is just the facts!" Fang Jun said.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look at him deeply, with a complicated expression.
But after thinking about it, he did not continue to say anything, but changed the subject and continued to chat with Jinyang for a while before leaving the Prince Consort's Mansion.
He did not mention Xiao Yu's incident. Perhaps because Jinyang had already expressed it very clearly, he could not continue.
At this level, he knew that what he said was no longer important, and Jinyang was not willing to take his uncle's face.
"I didn't expect that Uncle Wuji would talk about the silver issue. I'm afraid some people in the court have been thinking about this for a long time!"
As soon as Changsun Wuji left, Jinyang spoke and looked at Fang Jun: "They all know that their husbands have made a lot of money. The Times Bureau and Mingdatang are both husbands! There are also some restaurants, and they are very jealous!"
"This is also impossible, after all, anyone with a discerning eye can see it!"
"Hmph! I think they are just uneasy! This time I went to Goguryeo. If my husband wasn't here, it would be so smooth? Others don't know, but Jinyang knows it. Goguryeo is hard to beat!" Jinyang said with a lip.
Fang Jun couldn't help but smile.
Without saying much, Fang Jun sent Changsun Wuji away, and then began to write a book.
It is almost finished and will be released soon. We will try to write it out before the New Year.
Time passes quietly in the busyness.
Since Chen Yunzhu bleed a few days ago, she has healed a little in the past few days and has not continued to bleed. However, her breath is still very weak, which is very different from before.
At least Fang Jun was relieved that he had no deterioration. He went to see her whenever he had time. The girl was bored and found a piano to start wiping it. She played it very well.
And on this day, Yu Wen Hao, who had returned to Tiance Mansion, suddenly asked for a meeting and informed Fang Jun about a major event.
Just last night, someone broke into a workshop outside Chang'an City, robbed some things, and even killed two craftsmen inside.
Fang Jun was stunned and immediately looked at Yuwen Hao.
Yuwen Hao looked serious: "It's not just this, but one thing. The thieves who robbed the artifacts in the workshop were killed. The technique was the same as the technique in Liujiazhuang. That person was near Chang'an. But I don't know why she wanted to help us? Now all the things in the workshop have been sent back safely!"
Since Youzhou needs to be developed, there are few things in Chang'an workshops. Most of them were taken to Youzhou by Fang Jun, leaving only a few wineries and Songhua Egg Workshop.
Of course, due to the need to use good iron tools, Fang Jun also has an iron smelting workshop here, which is specially used to smel steel and improve iron smelting technology.
The one who was rushed in last night was the iron smelting workshop, and many of the techniques in it were already very powerful.
However, although some thieves entered, they were also killed.
The same female swordsman was used to attack. It can be seen that she was indeed targeting Fang Jun. I don’t know who she is? Why should she protect him?
"Can you find someone?"
"It's not found yet! It's very likely that it was from Tubo, not in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If it were in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, we would have known about it for a long time!"
Fang Jun couldn't help but frown. Tubo occupied the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and was actively a vast area. Due to different ethnic groups, there were not many Han people above, only a very small number. Most of the Han people above were exploited by the Tubo people and regarded as serfs. The ability to appear was very beyond Fang Jun's expectations.
Fang Jun thought about it and suddenly felt that it was very possible that Tubo was so big and had other inheritances. Perhaps it was because of the resistance of the Tubo army that the Han people above became extremely powerful.
"Since you can't find it, then don't check it. Other workshops strengthen their vigilance to prevent others from entering! The Tubo people are thief-hearted. Obviously, they know that the good things in the workshop will risk entering. If they are caught in the future, they don't need to be interrogated and they will be killed directly!"
"yes!"
Lu Dongzan has set his sights on Feihuo!
I have to say that Lu Dongzan is extremely difficult to deal with. He is very talented and has no inferiority to Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin.
He probably had sent someone to stare at Li Shimin's expedition to Goguli in the east, and had long seen the power of the cannon.
In fact, he might have been staring at Fang Jun for a long time, otherwise he would not have sent people to assassinate him repeatedly.
After sending Yuwen Hao away, Fang Jun suddenly felt a little annoyed.
Lu Dongzan really pinched him as a soft persimmon.
He really thought that he was hiding in Tubo, so Fang Jun couldn't do anything to him?
But after thinking about it carefully, he really had no way to get rid of Lu Dongzan unless he had grown wings and flew to Tubo.
"It's too much, it's too much! I'm being held back!" Fang Jun murmured to himself: "But..."
He suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He called Yuwen Hao over again, lowered his head and ordered him a few words.
"Since she is in Chang'an, that's easy! Just pull her out! I want to know who she is? Only by knowing her identity can Lu Dongzan be solved!"
"Is this method... possible?" Yu Wen Hao was surprised and a little excited.
"How do you know if you don't try it? If she cares, then that's OK!"
"That's great! I'll have someone give me a try right away!"
Chapter completed!
