Chapter 400

Over the palace, huge hot air balloons were rising.

Standing on a hot-air balloon, Xiao Wenxuan looks at Chang'an city with a telescope. Like a tiger, he also inspects his fiefdom.

"Father Huang, you won't regret buying this balloon. This balloon can not only detect and monitor the whole Chang'an city at high altitude, but also escape in a balloon in case of danger. 100000 Liang is really cheap." Xiao Ming continues to bewitch.

Xiao Wenxuan was moved just now. Now he was lobbied again by Xiao Ming, and he immediately strengthened his determination. He said, "after your wedding, you will return to Chang'an. At that time, I will send you the silver, but you have to train the man who controls the hot air balloon for your father."

"Father, you can rest assured." Xiao Ming was pleased, "father, do the army still need hot air balloons?"

"Of course. At least give one to my left and right guards. This is my personal guard. Besides, how much silver is your musket?" Xiao Wenxuan simply talked about all the problems together.

"It's cheap. One hundred taels of silver each." Xiao Ming didn't dare to ask too high a price for fireguns. After all, the demand for fireguns is more than that of artillery.

According to the cost calculation, the price of a firerope gun is only about six Liang silver. After all, the firerope gun doesn't have the complicated mechanism structure of a flint gun. What it needs is only a barrel. One hundred Liang is already the price of a black hearted merchant.

"So five thousand is five hundred thousand taels of silver."

Xiao Wenxuan frowned. He measured the materials of artillery and muskets. In his opinion, one artillery can produce hundreds of muskets.

In this way, the price of the musket should be around 340 Liang, and Xiao Ming must have raised the price again.

Although his heart is bright, Xiao Wenxuan is not ready to bargain with Xiao Ming, but is ready to accept the price. He said: "one hundred Liang is one hundred Liang, buy five thousand first, if the effect is good, continue to add."

Xiao Ming was overjoyed and explained, "father, this is just the price of guns, not ammunition."

"I understand. Isn't it the same with your gun?" Xiao Wenxuan's eyes were burning, and suddenly said, "although your price is high, I'm willing to accept it. Do you know why?"

Xiao Ming was surprised that Xiao Wenxuan didn't bargain this time. This hundred Liang is his offer. He thought Xiao Wenxuan would cut it to about forty Liang.

"My father is wise, and he knows everything like the back of his hand. My son is ashamed." Xiao Ming said honestly.

Looking at the prosperous scene of Chang'an, Xiao Wenxuan said: "because of your credit, from today on, I don't need to pay tribute to the barbarians. It's better to give you millions of taels of silver each year."

Xiao Ming suddenly realized that he didn't expect that Xiao Wenxuan would be in this mood. So, Xiao Wenxuan made a profit.

"My father's views are very good." Xiao Ming said with a smile, "as long as the father can support Er Chen, er Chen will promise that he will not let the barbarians cross Shanhai Pass again. Moreover, if the barbarians dare to attack from Zhao again, er Chen will dare to lead cavalry to cut off their food supply."

"Well, that's exactly what I think. Now you are the only one who can fight against the barbarians in Dayu state. At this time, the barbarians dare not move because of the heavy troops in Shanhaiguan. Minger, the safety of the royal family depends on you. As long as you don't want too much, I can give you anything. I just hope you don't let your father down." Xiao Wenxuan painstakingly said, this is his real idea at this time.

He is old, and his heart has been haggard over the years. He doesn't want to experience great changes any more. Now he just wants to have a stable life for the rest of his life.

"Please don't worry about your father and emperor, and your children's officials will surely protect the integrity of the state of Chongqing."

Xiao Ming's heart is filled with joy. Xiao Wenxuan's words admit his status now. As long as he doesn't go too far, he can give it. It means that he is worthy of being a red man in front of the palace.

Xiao Wenxuan nodded with satisfaction and continued: "lijingmen has found out that the assassin has something to do with the Jin Merchants in the state of Liang. Now there are only two answers, one is your second brother's behavior, and the other is the barbarian collusion with the Jin merchants. At present, the father and the Emperor are being investigated, and it is estimated that it will come to a conclusion soon."

"Second brother." When Xiao Ming thought about it, he suddenly realized that everything was reasonable now.

If the assassination is successful, it is true that the second prince will gain the most. On the one hand, whether the assassination is successful or not, it will expose the absurd incompetence of the prince. Once the prince is deposed, he will be the rightful successor.

At the same time, if the assassination is successful, he will be able to get rid of his strong enemy. It's killing two birds with one stone. This calculation is too smart.

Unfortunately, no matter how careful the plan is, there are loopholes. Otherwise, Xiao Wenxuan would not list the second prince as a suspect.

"It's probably him, but we can't make a final decision yet. That's the subtlety of the assassination plan." Xiao Wenxuan also had a headache, he said: "if this is really the second prince, how do you want your father to deal with it?"

Xiao Ming wanted to say that he should be beheaded according to the law, but he suddenly heard an example in the history books. Shengsheng swallowed what he was about to blurt out. He respectfully said, "only by the disposal of his father, after all, he is my second brother. He is not benevolent. I can't be unjust."Xiao Wenxuan's pupils contracted for a while and looked at Xiao Ming for a long time. Then he suddenly said with a smile, "Minger, you are very well. In this way, I will be at ease."

There is a cold sweat behind Xiao Ming. Xiao Wenxuan is really testing him.

If he is determined to kill the second prince, Xiao Wenxuan will surely conclude that he has a vicious heart and will not consider brotherhood. If he can kill the second prince now, he will not be merciful to the prince in the future.

In this way, he has to measure how to treat him.

Now that he is acting like a man of great benevolence and righteousness, Xiao Wenxuan is naturally at ease. In this way, he has a strong executor for the nomination.

“……”

He skilfully evades the temptation of Xiao Wenxuan. Xiao Ming feels bitter for a moment and doesn't know what to say.

Xiao Wenxuan didn't seem to want to explain, so he said: "let's go down. You've brought me a lot of surprises this time. There are still ten days left for your big wedding. You can push all these other things and concentrate on preparing for the wedding. Fei yue'er is a famous beauty in Chang'an. She is also proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting. In the future, she will be a good wife. You should treat her well Yes, and the family of Fei is full of officials all over the world, and the family of Fei is full of talents. Your fiefdom lacks talents. Now that you are married with the family of Fei, you can recruit some talents of the family of Fei. "

Xiao Ming let out a breath, this matter is to hide past, he said: "son minister this go back to prepare."
