Chapter 1718 King Ning is destroyed and visits Wudang
Peerless Building, Craftsman's Workshop.
Under the envious eyes of a group of craftsmen, Su Mingzhe hugged the slender waist of the most beautiful woman Dongmei, reclined on a wide bamboo couch, and kept tasting the imported wine.
Most of the day passed in the blink of an eye.
Under the command of Su Mingzhe, the craftsmen kept smelting iron blocks.
After Dongmei fed the man, she did not forget her other identity - the supervisor sent by King Ning.
It's just that she looked for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason. In the end, she could only ask:
"Master Su, the prince asked you to refine a six-shooter musket. What are you doing?"
"This is refining a musket!"
Su Mingzhe didn’t hide it either:
"The prince wants to refine not just one or two muskets, but to achieve mass production. Do you know what mass production is? It means refining hundreds or even thousands of muskets! This refined musket
If the quantity is too large, streamlined operations need to be formed... Do you know what streamlined operations are?"
Dongmei listened for a while, her head felt so swollen that she had no choice but to retreat.
Turn around.
King Ning asked Dongmei about the progress of the workshop.
Dongmei could only describe what she saw speciously.
Prince Ning actually approved of Su Mingzhe's approach. He was very happy and immediately rewarded a few more women.
A few more days passed.
Su Mingzhe finally refined three simple hydraulic machine tools.
With these three machine tools, Su Mingzhe can mass-produce muskets as long as he trains some more skilled operators.
Unfortunately, there is not enough time.
Although Su Mingzhe has been staying in the workshop, he has not paid less attention to things outside.
Just when the assembly of the three machine tools was completed, King Ning's life came to the last moment.
…
In early October, Wei Yangsheng was instigated by the old man Ji Le to steal the iron certificate of King Ning's alchemy book, but failed and was captured.
If Su Mingzhe hadn't taken action in time, Wei Yangsheng's newlywed wife, who had been divorced and returned to her parents' home, would have been abducted by Prince Ning's henchman Quan Laoshi.
Because Quan Laoshi did not bring back Wei Yangsheng's beautiful wife, Prince Ning's hatred for Wei Yangsheng exploded, and he tortured him to death in less than half a month.
Shangguan Shen, who was far away in Xiangyang, received the news and quickly contacted Pingzhang Political Affairs of Henan Province through his father's relationship to encircle and suppress King Ning in advance to 'counter-rebellion'.
Today is the day when King Ning will be destroyed.
Su Mingzhe looked at the iron blocks piled up in the warehouse, and then at the dozens of craftsmen in the workshop. Although he couldn't bear it, he still waved his hand to roll up the machine tool and iron blocks, and waved his hand again to everyone in the workshop.
A pleasure.
…
The case of King Ning's rebellion had wide implications.
Many people are deeply involved in it.
For example, Lin Jingyuan's home was directly confiscated and auctioned.
Originally, Shangguan Shen also wanted to write Su Mingzhe's name on the list of Prince Ning's party members.
Su Mingzhe saw that he was going to attack him, so he simply sent him to the Paradise of Elysium in the name of Prince Ning's rebellion.
Shangguan Shen's first wife, after Shangguan Shen's death, auctioned more than a hundred of Shangguan Shen's concubines.
Su Mingzhe spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to acquire most of the beauties.
In addition, Su Mingzhe also spent more than 100,000 taels to acquire many other industries.
Half a year later, the case of Prince Ning gradually subsided.
Su Mingzhe plundered most of the gold and silver treasures in King Ning's Jueshi Tower and became the biggest beneficiary.
…
Time flies.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past five years, Su Mingzhe opened up tens of thousands of hectares of fertile farmland in Shennongjia and recruited hundreds of thousands of refugees to become farmers.
Just when Su Mingzhe was training bankers and preparing to raise troops to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty, a piece of news from Jiangnan broke all his plans.
…
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these ten years, Su Mingzhe continued to carry out infrastructure construction in Shennongjia.
Among them, 300,000 hectares of fertile farmland have been cultivated.
The number of resettled refugees exceeds one million.
As for the soldiers and horses, Su Mingzhe followed the route of elite soldiers. Now he only has 100,000 troops, including 30,000 infantry, 30,000 cavalry and 40,000 navy.
Today, the Qingming Festival has just passed.
Su Mingzhe said goodbye to his family and came to Wudang Mountain with a few followers.
…
ten years ago.
Su Mingzhe was preparing to launch an army to fight against the Yuan Dynasty when he received a piece of news from Jiangnan and had to suspend his anti-Yuan plan.
And the news was that the big devil, the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun, was going on a killing spree in the south of the Yangtze River, killing and injuring hundreds of people from various sects.
After getting the news, Su Mingzhe immediately ran to Wudang Mountain and first confirmed what plane he was in.
…
Wudang Mountain, Jiejianchi.
Several Taoists blocked the way of Su Mingzhe and his party:
"Master, please stay!"
"Su Mingzhe from Xiangyang is here to give Master Zhang a 100th birthday gift!"
Su Mingzhe said, waving his hand, and the entourage behind him immediately presented several gift boxes.
A Taoist priest saw the gift box and muttered in a low voice:
"My ancestor's 100th birthday has not yet arrived. Why did he come early?"
A mature-looking Taoist priest next to him glared at his junior brother, and then smiled at Su Mingzhe:
"Xiaodao has also heard of Mr. Su's name. Please come in and Xiaodao will inform you right away!"
"I'm sorry, Chief Taoist!"
Ever since Su Mingzhe knew that he was in the "Heaven Slaying Dragon" plane, he has been spreading his reputation to the outside world, intentionally or unintentionally.
Different from the false propaganda of the six major sects, Su Mingzhe spent real money to do good deeds.
For example, there was a severe drought in Shaanxi last year, and the land was covered with red land.
Su Mingzhe mobilized thousands of grain ships from all over the country to help the government provide disaster relief, and countless people survived.
Another example is that five years ago, the Yellow River overflowed, turning thousands of miles of fertile land in southwestern Shandong into a state of marsh.
Su Mingzhe spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to help the government provide disaster relief.
In recognition of Su Mingzhe's righteous deeds, the Yuan Dynasty court granted him the title of "Xiangyang Man".
In the world of martial arts, Su Mingzhe was given the title "Sai Mengchang".
…
Wudang Mountain, Zixiao Palace.
Su Mingzhe had just sat down when he heard a rush of footsteps.
When he turned around, he saw three Taoist monks with beards walking towards him.
Among them, the oldest Taoist, who already had white hair on his temples, cupped his hands and said:
"But Mr. Sai Mengchang Su Da?"
"In front of Master Song, Su is ashamed to be called 'Mr. Big'!"
Su Mingzhe smiled humbly, and Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Sanfeng's eldest disciple and now the head of the Wudang Sect, quickly smiled and said:
"Mr. Su Da's good deeds and righteous deeds are countless. Song Yuanqiao is ashamed to be in front of you!"
People carry people in sedan chairs.
After Song Yuanqiao and Su Mingzhe met, he introduced his two junior brothers, Yin Liting and Mo Shenggu, to Su Mingzhe.
At this time, Yin Liting didn't know that his fiancée Ji Xiaofu had already cuckolded him.
Mo Shenggu is a young Taoist with a lively personality.
Su Mingzhe greeted the two of them one by one.
After everyone finished the ceremony, they all sat down.
Song Yuanqiao asked about Su Mingzhe's purpose.
Su Mingzhe said bluntly:
"Headmaster Song, Xiao Ke went up the mountain this time to wish Master Zhang a hundred years old, to send gifts, and to deliver a message. I wonder if Master Zhang can give me a meeting?"
After Song Yuanqiao heard this, although he was curious about what gift Su Mingzhe gave and what news he conveyed, he still replied according to etiquette:
"Excuse me, Mr. Su, I should have informed our master about his arrival. However, my master has been in seclusion for a long time, and even we disciples cannot see him..."
"That's such a shame!"
Su Mingzhe's face was filled with regret:
"In this case, Xiao Ke can only tell the matter to Master Song..."
