The emperor Li Er has already waved.
The eunuch and eunuch who was standing not far away immediately ran over, holding a long box in both hands, and stood in front of Li Er!
And in this box.
It was pretending to be the firearm that Ning Chen sent people to rush to the capital 800 miles away...!
In the bewildered eyes of all Tang officials.
Li Er took out the firearm from the box, and used the extremely familiar gunpowder to load the projectile!
Raising the gun and aiming, the action is done in one go...!
obvious.
His Majesty the Emperor, this is not the first time he has played with firearms!
"Everyone, watch!"
After the slight sound of machine guns.
A gunshot suddenly resounded in the Tai Chi Palace!
"boom!"
A spark suddenly appeared.
And in the next second, the wooden stake not far away suddenly fell backwards!
The original three layers of thick sheepskin were completely torn under this shot!
The wool is flying all over the sky, just like the blood of the enemy blooms!
All the ministers: "!!!"
All the ministers were dumbfounded immediately, their faces were full of dementia and horror!
What the hell!
What is this Nima?
How could the wooden stake be broken and the sheepskin be torn apart hundreds of steps away? !
"His Majesty!"
"The treasury has silver, and the treasury has silver!"
Hubu Shangshu Wang Gui suddenly walked forward quickly.
Then with a plop, he knelt beside the emperor Li Er, his face full of determination and fortitude!
"Don't say five million taels, even one or twenty million taels of silver!"
"Even if I dig the ground three feet, I sell all the tables and chairs in the yamen of the household department!"
"We must also raise money to make firearms...!"
Li Er: "???"
A group of ministers: "???"
Chapter 244 Open up a business path!Lord Ningguo is going to trick someone again...! .
It was late June, the hottest time of the year.
The brilliant sky hangs high above the nine heavens, and thousands of golden lights sprinkle down, scorching thousands of miles of mountains and rivers...
According to Ning Chen's temperament.
Usually in this kind of ghost weather.
His Excellency would lie comfortably on the recliner, while several beautiful maids would fan him to enjoy the cool.
But today...
Ning Chen was uncharacteristically sitting upright in the living room, with a dignified and solemn look on his face...!
Picking up the cup of tea on the table, he took a sip.
And while he was drinking tea, a guard of the Duke's Mansion quickly ran into the living room!
"Report to my lord!"
"Langya Wang Clan, Chen Jun Xie Clan, Chen Jun Yuan Clan, and Lanling Xiao Clan are the heads of the four great families!"
"Come to pay a visit to the Duke, and he is already outside the Governor's Mansion!"
Ning Chen's eyes suddenly burst out with a bright light.
The Jiangnan area has been prosperous since ancient times.
During the Six Dynasties period, the four most prosperous families in the south of the Yangtze River.
This is the Wang family of Langya, the Xie family of Chen Jun, the Yuan family of Chen Jun, and the Xiao family of Lanling!
It can be said that there are countless people from the four great aristocratic families who have ascended to the pavilion to pay homage to their prime ministers!
Even after the fall of the Six Dynasties.
The Jiangnan gentry was deliberately suppressed by the Shandong gentry!
To this day, the several great families in the south of the Yangtze River still have extremely high prestige and influence!
"Four Great Families..."
"Speaking of which, I am very familiar with the aristocratic family..."
Ning Chen chuckled, the smile on his face was a bit weird.
indeed.
He, Lord Ning, is indeed a group of people who are familiar with the aristocratic family!
They even gave friendly hospitality and warmly sent off Qiwang with five surnames to Jiaozhou in southern Xinjiang to eat ashes and dirt!
"Since everyone is here, let them in!"
"My lord, I'm also very curious if the patriarchs of these Jiangnan families will still be as idiots as Cui Jingyuan and the others..."
The guard who received the reply saluted, then hurriedly turned and left, and his figure immediately disappeared from Ning Chen's sight!
And it didn't take long.
The four people, including Wang Mingrui, stepped into the threshold of the Governor's Mansion, and came before Ning Chen, the current Duke!
Wang Mingrui, Xie Suqing, Yuan Guozhang, Xiao Lanying...
In the south of the Yangtze River, there are four patriarchs with great voice and prestige!
Just the next second they entered the living room.
Ning Chen had already slowly got up, and then looked them up and down with his eyes!
That sharp gaze shocked the four Patriarchs a little bit!
"I've seen my lord duke!"
"I haven't come to pay a visit before, but I still hope that the Duke of the country will be gracious...!"
Several people bowed their hands in salute.
And Lord Ningguo returned the salute with a smile on his hands, his etiquette was so thoughtful that no one could find anything wrong with it!
Just that extremely gentle smile.
Instead, Wang Mingrui, the Patriarch of the Langya Wang Clan, shivered subconsciously...!
He, Wang Mingrui, deals with Ning Chen every day.
Naturally, he is very clear about the temper of the Duke!
"hiss……"
"It's over, nothing good will happen today!"
Patriarch Wang muttered secretly, a sad look flashed across his eyes...
Everyone in the world knows that when Lord Ningguo has a smile on his face, it is estimated that someone will be unlucky!
The facts did not exceed Wang Mingrui's expectation.
Before the chairs of the several Patriarchs were warmed up, Lord Ningguo had already said with a smile:
"It is indeed for a big event to let a few of you come here today..."
"The Duke of this country left the imperial capital this time and went south to the south of the Yangtze River. One of the purposes is to open up business routes!"
When the several Patriarchs heard this, they all looked puzzled and puzzled.
"Open up a business path?"
"I don't understand, please show me, my lord!"
Xiao Lanying from the Lanling Xiao family cupped her hands and asked each other respectfully.
After Ning Chen heard this, he didn't immediately give them an answer.
Instead, he patted lightly.
Followed by.
A few maids held a huge roll of maps and slowly unfolded them in the living room!
And this map.
It was Ning Chen who personally wrote the pen and drew the world map following the memory in his mind!
on this map.
Clearly marked the location of the Tang Empire!
Simultaneously.
It also marks the positions of other fragmentary empires and kingdoms!
Such as the Kingdom of Chenla, such as the Jieri Empire, such as the Frankish Kingdom, such as the Eastern Roman Empire!
All kinds of messy names.
The four Patriarchs present were stunned for an instant, with expressions of disbelief on their faces!
It's just that they haven't waited for them to look carefully.
Ning Chen clapped his hands, and the maids obediently rolled up the map again!
"You don't care about the content on this map!"
"You just need to know that opening up business routes and going overseas can bring huge wealth and silver!"
The Grandpa laughed out loud.
While speaking, he slowly got up from the chair, looked at the several Patriarchs with a gentle smile on his face...
"About this developer going overseas, how many people are interested?!"
Wang Mingrui and the others were stunned again.
They looked at each other, and then each of them began to calculate carefully in their hearts!
Although it seems to be asking for their meaning.
But that resolute tone didn't have the slightest hint of solicitation at all!
discuss?
This damn is not a negotiation at all!
The sharpness in your Lord Ning Guogong's eyes is not concealed at all!
Think of this.
The several Patriarchs were a little helpless, sighed in their hearts, and regretted coming to visit this Duke today...!
I didn't look at the almanac when I went out, but I ran into such an evil star...
