I'm married to the God of War

Chapter 36 Arrangements Before Departure

For such a large business as 1 taels of gold, Feng Nian didn't dare to call the shots, so he deliberately asked Shen Kuo to report the matter.

Shen Kuo had seen the power of this kind of artillery in his dream, when it was fired, it was like divine fire from the sky, and ordinary soldiers had no power to resist it.

But 1 taels of gold is a bit embarrassing for a rich man like Shen Kuo. The total cash on his national books is only about [-] gold. to break.

But Mr. Qing said: "Fengnian's experience is still shallow, and potatoes cost a lot of money. After all, this firearm is just something made by some alchemists. Like our Daqi, we also know how to make clay fried medicine, and when it is fired, it is also very powerful."

When Fengnian heard what the teacher said, he bowed his head in shame.

Shen Kuo didn't think so, Daqi did have earth bombing medicine, but the ignition was too complicated and dangerous, and he would squib or injure people in advance. Now Daqi is no longer rationed to the army.

There are firearms forts on the other side of the island, which are very valuable.

In the past, Nanyang was rich in products, but they didn't know that they were carrying treasures. Gems, minerals and pearls were shipped back to Daqi, all of which were worth thousands of gold.When the merchants exchanged with them in the past, those farmers only wanted some tea, silk or even coarse cloth.

Let Daqi's caravan fool around, and exchange a lot of treasures cheaply.Now that the other party has firearms, he is becoming more and more cunning in transactions!There is no guarantee that there will be no liquidation in the future.

Shen Kuo said: "Mr. Qing, I think the firearms held by those islands are very valuable. We can buy some and study them."

But Mr. Qing frowned and said, "Your Majesty, please!" Their shops are all over Daqi.But if so much money is transferred at once, more than half of them will be closed. They spent a lot of effort to settle in the store back then.They can't directly show their names, and the local business houses reject foreign stores, and it is extremely difficult to gain a firm foothold.

It's not worth sacrificing so much for such a firearm.

Shen Kuo said: "Mr. misunderstood, we will resell all the goods to the Bai family this time, and exchange them all for gold bars." They sell some weapons on the island, which are exactly what the locals desperately need.The replacement jewelry is of higher quality.

The capital city is also a place that welcomes visitors from all over the world. Nobles and princes prefer jewellery. There are no buyers for this kind of good stuff!

The Bai family was the first to build treasure ships, and his shipments were stable. Many suppliers heard that he was back, and they were waiting for him to ship with real money.The Bai family also has a jewelry store, and the goods must not be enough.

The Bai family brought him into the game, and now reselling him to the Bai family can be regarded as reciprocation.The Bai family is strong enough to eat all the goods.

Mr. Qing glanced at the list: "These pigeon blood gems, emeralds, etc. are rare and rare. It's a pity to sell them." When I first went to the island and other places, these gems were exchanged casually, and now they have a high value.This time, their business group exchanged weapons, and the other party was willing to give up some good things.

Shen Kuo said: "Those gems are not suitable for eating or drinking. Change! Change all of them."

Although these things are precious and rare, in Shen Kuo's eyes, they are nothing at all.He grew up in the palace.Rare treasures have been played since childhood.

No matter how beautiful gems are, they are just decorations, but firearms are life-saving things.

Mr. Qing said: "I did some calculations. The gems and minerals I exchanged this time can almost be exchanged for 8000 taels of gold. I will immediately talk to the heir of the Bai family about this matter!"

Shen Kuo said: "Thank you for your hard work."

Let Fengnian lead a few men, and then organize some strong and strong people to go to sea together.Shen Kuo said: "Change some more cold-resistant seeds, food, and some things you have never seen before. You can also consider changing some. The firearms must be brought back, and you must learn how to use them. This time you go to sea without the helmsman and captain of the Bai family. Everything is up to you.”

Going to sea in a good year is more useful than studying for ten years.Hearing that Shen Kuo was still willing to let him go out, he said with a young man's eagerness to try: "We must fulfill our mission."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Mr. Qing did not persuade him any more, and Shen Kuo then told Mr. Qing about going to Mobei.

Mr. Qing was not surprised, and said: "Now the capital is in turmoil. The emperor deposed the prince, grounded the queen, and moved you and the eldest princess. This is a sign. In the future, the nobles in the capital will also be in danger. Go there That's fine too."

"Sir, why don't you join me!" Mr. Qing is a great talent, not only talented in business, but also outstanding in knowledge.With him around, Shen Kuo felt very at ease.

Mr. Qing has been working under Shen Kuo for these years. Although he is a master and servant, his friendship is closer. He said: "I went there 20 years ago. If I go there now, I don't know what will happen. Okay, let's go The son of the world will go to Mobei again."

"Thank you sir." Shen Kuo said.

Mr. Qing said with a smile, "I dare not do it."

After explaining the most important thing, he said to Mr. Qing: "We will set off immediately and leave by boat from Tonghe. General Su and I will leave first with a lot of family luggage. After you are done with the affairs of the capital, pack lightly. Join us, let's go to Mobei together." Taking the boat is the safest and fastest way.

Mr. Qing nodded to show that he understood.

Only then did Shen Kuo leave.

Back home, Su Muqian looked around the yard early.Seeing him coming back, his face relaxed a little: "Come back?"

Shen Kuo said: "It's windy here, why did you come out?"

Su Muqian said: "Have you bid farewell to mother?"

Shen Kuo dragged him back to the room, and took advantage of the situation to cover his hands, saying: "I told mother that I can leave at any time."

Su Muqian has always been looking forward to leaving Beijing.I heard that everything in the capital has been done.With a relaxed expression, he said, "Then let's go today."

Shen Kuo told Su Muqian to get on the carriage first and leave directly.Although he made a simple disguise, Shizi had more than [-] carriages to travel, and he couldn't hide this situation even if he wanted to.

Shen Kuo bid farewell to the old lady and father, and caught up with them on horseback.After catching up, he stopped the carriage and went up.

In Su Muqian's carriage, he was wearing a thick cotton coat and a blanket covering his body.Plus many fruit plates and food.But seeing Shen Kuo still said: "Hands are cold."

Just as Shen Kuo came in from the outside, he first rubbed his hands to warm them up, and then squeezed Su Muqian's hand tightly.He said: "Didn't you come from Mobei? Isn't winter over there even colder? Then how did you live before?" Compared with the coldness of the capital, it is nothing.

Su Muqian said: "I wasn't afraid of the cold before, but now I'm afraid." Probably because of pregnancy, I couldn't tolerate the cold anymore. When they went out, it was always in the afternoon, and it was already dark before they left the capital.At night the temperature drops even more.But Shen Kuo said that after leaving the capital, you can buy a store, and the carriage keeps moving forward.

Su Muqian was afraid of the cold, so he wrapped himself in a ball with a quilt, shrunk his neck, and hid inside.

Shen Kuo looked at him and smiled, and suddenly hooked his hands towards him, Su Muqian approached in confusion, then Shen Kuo lifted the quilt and hugged him in his arms.Feeling the temperature of his body, Su Muqian was not cold all of a sudden, but he was a little embarrassed.
