Chapter 4 Planning
Qin Zhao said: "They won't tell us where to buy gunpowder. We have to find it ourselves."
Qin Ning was stunned for a moment, touched his head and said, "That's true."
Zhao Liangce coughed and asked again: "Is this gunpowder the gunpowder in the firecracker? Can it really blow up Juyitang?"
Qin Zhao said: "The firecracker has a small amount of gunpowder. The large amount of gunpowder can blow you to death. Moreover, my gunpowder box is different from a firecracker. The gunpowder inside is locked up by an iron box. When the explosion of gunpowder directly drives the box away, the explosion power is so great!"
The old accountant bent down and looked at the drawings of the gun for a long time. He was surprised to find that it made sense and couldn't help but nod.
"Brother Zhao, where did you learn such a novelty?"
Everyone felt that Qin Zhao had inhuman skills and became more respectful to Qin Zhao. Qin Youli actually called Qin Zhao "Brother Zhao" and stopped calling him his name.
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "What's new about this? I thought of it myself over the years." With a wave of Xuxu on the paper, Qin Zhao said, "With such a device, we will leave as soon as we press the trigger. After we leave, the gunpowder explodes, and all the bandits can be killed without leaving any!"
When everyone heard Qin Zhao's words, they all sucked in a cold air and couldn't speak.
They sent the iron box in the name of birthday gifts. The thieves would not be able to open the big iron box at that time. When the gift-giver escaped, the other side would explode, and dozens of old thieves would all be blown to death in the drinking lobby.
It sounds really feasible, no matter how you look at it.
The old accountant took a breath and realized it first. He looked at Qin Zhao's drawings, tsk a few times, and asked, "Brother Zhao, how big is the box, how much gunpowder do you want, and how much silver do you have to spend?"
Qin Zhao thought for a while and said, "I don't know the price of gunpowder, so I can only go to Guangzhou Prefecture to inquire. However, if such a large iron box wants to blow up the entire thief's lobby, it may cost fifty kilograms of gunpowder."
The old accountant took a breath and said, "Fifty pounds of gunpowder, I'm afraid it costs 100 taels of silver."
"In addition to the money from scrambling iron boxes, there is no 120 taels that cannot be made."
When everyone heard the old accountant's words, they looked at each other.
Qin Zhao was about to speak, but he heard the old accountant say calmly: "I came forward and let the villagers pay the money. We talked together, and said that we had gone up the mountain to ask the thief to be kind to him. He said, "A tiger" and let us go as long as each household pays one or five cents of silver this year. The villagers are extremely frightened now. When they hear such words, they will definitely raise all the money early!"
"After I have raised all the money, I will go to Guangzhou with Brother Zhao to buy gunpowder."
The other six people heard the old accountant's words and all their faces showed nervous and expectant expressions.
Since we can raise money, things seem to be in sight. If we can really use Qin Zhao's explosives to kill the thieves, the lives of hundreds of people in Qinjia Village will be saved.
The thief wants the lives of the people in Qinjia Village, and the people in Qinjia Village can only fight to the death!
Qin Ning whispered: "If the thief's nest is blown up, we can continue to farm in Qinjia Village."
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "That's not necessarily."
When everyone heard Qin Zhao's words, they looked at Qin Zhao in surprise.
Qin Zhao said: "There are a lot of money and money in the thief's nest. When we rob the parcel, we will make a fortune. I'm afraid you won't want to farm again!"
Hearing Qin Zhao's words, everyone looked at each other for a while, and a glimmer of joy flashed in their eyes.
Following Qin Zhaogan is the only way now, and the expected returns of this method are so high, which is really gratifying.
After a while of discussion, everyone made up their minds and did what Qin Zhao said.
After the matter was decided, Zhao Liangce couldn't help but curse and said, "I saw the ghost, why did the dazed Brother Zhao become so smart? Can you plan such a sharp strategy?"
Qin Ding'an said, "Is Qin Zhao a fool before?"
Huang Deneng said: "I have never heard of using gunpowder to do things like this. There is also a mechanism for flint ignition. How did Brother Zhao come up with such an idea? He is so smart that he is like a god descending to earth?"
Qin Ning shook his head and said, "Brother Zhao has indeed become smarter. It will be different when he comes out after he gets back."
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "What are these little tricks? You follow me in the future and promise that you can see my Qin Zhao's great power."
Seeing Qin Zhao so confident, the five people looked at each other for a while and couldn't react.
...
He did it as soon as he said it. Everyone felt that he could not tell all the villagers about this. They were afraid that the news would be leaked, so they decided to use Qin Youli's strategy to collect the money.
The six people first shouted in the village, saying that Qin Zhao was the decision this time and organized everyone to go to Yunfeng to ask for a way out for a thief.
When the villagers heard this, they really had hope of living. They looked at the old accountant and Qin Zhao and six others one by one, hoping that the six of them who were in charge could bring good news to everyone - the village leader was killed by thieves a few months ago, and now the old accountant is the backbone of the village. The old accountant took six calmly to negotiate with the thieves, and everyone was convinced.
The six people walked towards the thieves' nest, walked to the foot of the Chiyunfeng Mountain where the thieves gathered, and got into the woods, chatted in the woods for an hour, and then went home.
As soon as he entered the village, Qin Youli opened his throat and shouted loudly: "Good news!"
“Great news!”
The villagers all knew that the old accountant and others were going to beg the thieves to spare their lives. When they heard Qin Youli's shouting, they were excited. Soon, there was a barking sound in the village, and all the people in the village ran out of their homes and surrounded Qin Youli.
Qin Youli stood up straight in front of everyone and said loudly: "This time, thanks to Brother Zhao's courageousness, he said harsh words in front of the leader of the strong man in Yunfeng, "A Tiger."
"Brother Zhao said that the people in Qinjia Village are desperate. If we want to force us to death, we will be cruel and strong mermaids to death. Although our village has no defense, it is impossible for strong people to attack and die if they don't die."
"When I heard Zhao Ge'er's words, the strong man suddenly became soft. The strong man agreed that I would not charge me a thousand taels of silver for spring plowing this time. We waited for 98 villagers, and each family would pay one tael and five cents."
Hearing Qin Youli's words, the villagers fell into silence.
An old woman asked tremblingly with a cane, "It's really enough to cost one or half silver per household?"
Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty Li Yuan reformed the currency system and stipulated that one or two liang of copper coins were used to make ten coins. Because of their exquisitely minted coins and their weight was relatively accurate, "money" became a unit of weight since then, and one or two liang equals ten coins. In the Ming Dynasty, one or two liang was used to make ten coins, and one or five liang was used to make one or half silver.
Qin Youli nodded and said, "Yes, it means one or two taels of silver per household."
An old man with white hair and beard asked, "When I pay the money, the thief will let Qinjia Village go? How long will the money be kept?"
Zhao Liangce coughed and said loudly: "The leader of the strong man from Chiyunfeng said that as long as he paid the spring plowing silver this time, the strong man would not cause trouble for us for a whole year. Next time he would come to see me for the 'spring silver'."
"But now, God knows what will happen tomorrow? It's hard to say whether these strong men can last until next spring, and whether they will be wiped out by the government soldiers! If the government goes up the mountain to suppress the thieves next year, we won't have to pay the bank in the future."
