"Then Fourth Brother, why do you still have to guard your musket so tightly?"

Liu Heng asked Kou Ji with a puzzled look.

Kou Ji smiled and said: "Because the quantity is small now, it can be defended. And if we don't strictly guard it, how will others know that this thing is a treasure? How will we sell it for a big price in the future?"

Liu Heng's eyes widened in astonishment, "Fourth brother is going to sell muskets in the future?"

Kou Ji smiled and nodded, "That's right... Instead of letting others take it out and sell it secretly, it's better for us to take it out and sell it openly. At least we can control the whereabouts of the musket.

We can sell muskets to our enemies' enemies.

Let the enemy's enemies attack the enemy with muskets, and then use the money collected from the enemies to buy our muskets."

Liu Heng frowned and said, "But after the muskets were circulated, what happened to others who learned them?"

Kou Ji reached out and patted Liu Heng's shoulder and said with a smile: "Liu Heng, don't think of the musket as that simple. Just because I can make it easily doesn't mean that everyone can make it easily.

Just the few blast furnaces outside Bianjing City are enough for them to study for more than ten years.

Without the steel produced in the blast furnace, the musket they made would just be a firecracker."

Kou Ji stood up and said proudly: "When all of them are obsessed with muskets and studying muskets, all their money will continue to flow into our Song Dynasty.

And we can use their money to build better muskets.

We can also use their money to make the Song Dynasty bigger and stronger."

Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji blankly.

He didn't expect that Kou Ji could use only a small musket to set up a plan that could plot the whole world.

He vaguely felt that Kou Ji's growth had exceeded his imagination.

What Kou Ji is planning now is far beyond what he had planned before.

In the past, when Kou Ji was planning a small Wu family, he had to go into battle shirtless, causing uproar in the city.

Today, Kou Ji is planning the whole world, but he is calm and does not make any waves.

He has been working very hard to follow Kou Ji's footsteps and wants to fight side by side with Kou Ji.

But Kou Ji's back was getting further and further away from him.

Vaguely, he felt that Kou Ji's figure had become unusually tall, standing tall and tall.

Kou Ji waved his hand and a city was destroyed.

Kou Ji waved his hand again, and a city rose from the ground.

With a single move of your hand, you can change the world.

…

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and saw Liu Heng staring at him with some confusion. He was slightly stunned and said: "Liu Heng?!"

Liu Heng slowly regained consciousness under Kou Ji's call.

Looking at Kou Ji again, he is just an ordinary person.

He is much more mature than when we first met him, but other than that, there doesn't seem to be much change.

"What's wrong? Still thinking about the musket?"

Liu Heng coughed dryly and said hurriedly: "If my wife asks me for a musket, how should I respond?"

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said: "You are not allowed to give it within three years. After three years, you can give three or two. The number cannot be too large, and Qingtang cannot use it to build musketeers.

Regarding the quantity issue, you can blame it on me and the officials.

I will find an opportunity to tell the officials about this matter, saying that it is my plan to deal with Qingtang.

So you don’t need to worry about official suspicion.”

Liu Heng solemnly bowed his hands to Kou Ji and said, "Thank you, fourth brother..."

Kou Ji waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me yet, brother, settle the accounts tomorrow. I will get half of the money you received."

Liu Heng stared in shock.

Kou Ji glared at Liu Heng, "Are you still planning to give it to me for free?"

"Forehead……"

"I put so much thought into making them think that the musket is a treasure. If I wait for them for three years, they will definitely go crazy, and they will pay no matter how high the price is.

Don't give me thousands of horses and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

Can you easily give them the musket?

The first muskets to go out are the most precious and the most valuable.

I gave you this opportunity, and you still don’t want to benefit from it?!"

Liu Heng said dumbfounded: "I understand, fourth brother."

Kou Ji sat down and hummed: "Please order more, there are not many opportunities for this kind of blackmail."

Liu Heng said solemnly: "I understand..."

After a pause, Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji and said seriously: "Fourth brother, you are obviously not short of money, why are you so crazy about amassing money?"

"The Great Song Dynasty is lacking...and there are many people who are short of money..."

"What's the meaning?"

"Only by turning most people in the Song Dynasty into rich people will they not take risks and plan my family's huge wealth."

"..."

After Kou Ji and Liu Heng finished chatting about serious matters, they started talking witty words.

After talking for a long time, it was late at night.

The wrestling game in front of the campfire was over, the people gathered in front of the campfire dispersed, and Kou Ji and Liu Heng went back to their tents to sleep.

The next day.

After getting up.

When Kou Ji came out of the tent, his eyes were filled with blue.

The water and sky are the same color.

The blue Qinghai Lake appeared in front of Kou Ji.

The Qinghai Lake in Kou Ji's eyes was far larger than the Qinghai Lake seen by later generations, several times larger.

Kou Ji can clearly feel the magic of nature from Qinghai Lake.

Thousands of years of evolution have made Qinghai Lake several times smaller.

Thousands of years of travel have made Qinghai Lake several times larger.

Under the water, on the surface, there are flocks of fish and birds.

They don't seem to be afraid of people.

On the contrary, I get closer to people.

When the people of Qingtang come to the lake, those silly fish will take the initiative to come to them.

Qingtang people only need to slap it with the back of a knife to get a delicious big fish.

Many people gathered by the lake to take pictures of fish.

Kou Ji did not go.

When people in Qingtang take pictures of fish, they will happily grill the fish and eat it.

Folks in the Song Dynasty would make fish soup when they caught fish.

The two styles of eating fish form a sharp contrast.

What is surprising is that.

The fish in the lake are obviously stupid and easy to pick up.

The Qingtang people, as well as the people of the Song Dynasty, did not overfish.

After they only took a few pieces, they started cooking with satisfaction.

Kou Ji couldn't help but think that the Song Dynasty seemed to have a clearly stated environmental protection law.

There seem to be certain restrictions on cutting firewood, hunting, fishing, and mining.

Take cutting firewood as an example.

It is forbidden to enter the forest to cut firewood in spring.

You can pick up dead branches, but you are prohibited from cutting down trees.

In strict places, entry into the forest in spring is even prohibited.

Such provisions were not formed in the Song Dynasty.

It was passed down from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

It can be seen from this.

As early as thousands of years ago, the ancients had a profound understanding of the importance of protecting the environment.

Kou Ji drank a bowl of fish soup sent by the leader of the patrolling horse guards, ate some grilled fish and naan sent by An Ziluo's people, then got on his horse and set foot on the formation.
