Chapter 116: Raging fire! The bell of destruction of the Xu family
Translator: 549690339
At the very least, there was no such thing as white phosphorus in this world.
The White phosphorus was refined by Shen lang. He had used white phosphorus when he played the Ghostfire trick on the song family.
It was already late autumn, and the temperature at night was at most ten degrees, so the White phosphorus was not in danger of burning.
Of course, the temperature in this secret chamber was very high. Mulan carefully poured the White phosphorus into the cocoon.
Yay or not? Yay or not?
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
A delicate person like Shen lang was sweating profusely and did not even dare to breathe.
He felt as if he was about to breathe fire and set the White phosphorus on fire.
“Wifey, you did really well, much faster than me, and also more accurate than me.” Shen lang praised.
He was talking nonsense. Although his Kung Fu was bad, he was still a scalpel. He could do this kind of detailed work quickly and well.
“Thank you for the compliment,” Mulan replied.
since that’s the case, ” Shen lang said, ” the capable should do more work. I’ll leave the next 1000 cocoons to you.
Mulan pouted and gritted her teeth.
Then, Shen lang, the hooligan, really let go.
He picked up a stool and sat behind Mulan, drinking tea happily.
Mulan was indignant. Are you just going to leave all this work to me? As her husband, you’re not going to help at all?
wifey, get to work! This is related to the life and death of 100000 people in our fief. It is related to the hundred years of Foundation of our Jin family.
With no other way out, Mulan lay back down angrily and continued to work seriously.
“Wife, you’re so good. Then I’ll leave all the work here to you. Your husband is a bit sleepy, so I’ll go back and rest.” Shen lang said.
Then, he turned around and left.
Mulan gritted her teeth.
She really wanted to beat this man to death.
Shen lang quickly left the room.
At that moment, Mulan’s voice came from behind.
“Husband, you can rest, but if you hang out with the little ice ghost, you can try.”
Shen lang squatted down and felt a chill in his heart.
He couldn’t continue living like this.
His wife’s mind-reading skills were getting more and more pure.
Then, Shen lang, the scumbag, really made Mulan pour the White phosphorus into the 1000 cocoons.
Mulan was busy the entire night.
After that, she personally placed the thousand or so cocoons filled with white phosphorus into a few hundred baskets of cocoons.
There were at most two or three in each big basket.
Cocoons were divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.
Shen lang took all three levels in one go, and there was a basket of them.
......
The next day!
There were already seven to eight thousand civilians surrounding the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
Shen lang walked out with a Haggard face.
Anyway, don’t ask him how he got into this state. You can also do it by watching some movies.
He saw Shen lang coming out.
The seven to eight thousand people outside knelt down in unison.
“Son-in-law, please save us.”
“If I don’t sell the cocoons, the bugs will really fly out.”
“We’re still waiting for money to buy food at home, but we’re running out of food soon!”
Shen lang said with grief and pain, ” my fellow villagers, I will go and beg the Xu family now. No matter what conditions they have, no matter how they humiliate me, I will agree to them. As long as everyone has food to eat, as long as everyone has money to earn.”
Instantly, the 7000 to 8000 citizens kowtowed and looked at Shen lang with gratitude.
“Thank you, son-in-law. I’ll set up a tablet for you when I get home.”
“Thank you for your great kindness, son-in-law!”
Jin mucong, who was in the castle, could not help but ask, ” “Father, isn’t brother-in-law making use of these kind-hearted people?”
Uncle Black Tortoise hesitated for a moment. it’s right to love the people like their own children. However, it’s also right for the People’s hearts to be like water, and for the people to be moved like smoke. Those in power must have a good sense of propriety.
Jin mucong was confused and did not understand.
Uncle Black Tortoise sighed in his heart, but he could not explain it in detail.
“Brother-in-law, aren’t you being a little heartless to these people?” Jin mucong said weakly.
Uncle Black Tortoise said,”only the heartless can be amorous, and the amorous can be truly heartless.”
After saying that, uncle Black Tortoise let out a soft sigh.
This silly son of his was destined not to understand the profoundness of this.
......
Shen lang entered the Xu family in a miserable state as if his soul had been destroyed.
His eyes were listless and his limbs were trembling.
“I admit defeat.” Shen lang passed the three pieces of paper over. these are the formulas for the three dyes. The first one is the upgraded gold dye. The second one is purple. The third one is rainbow.
Xu Qianqian reached out her hand and took the three pieces of paper. She read them carefully and memorized them.
Shen lang said,”are you satisfied now?” Can you purchase the cocoons of the people in our fief?”
Xu Qianqian was extremely pleased.
“Shen lang, if you knew this would happen, why did you do it?”
Shen lang said sadly, ” I’ve already admitted defeat. What else do you want? ” There are already 8000 people outside the palace of the Earl. I have already given you the formula. What else do you want? What else do you want?”
In the end, his voice was hoarse.
“This Kasaya isn’t enough,” Xu Qianqian said.
“Xu Qianqian, don’t push your luck,” Shen lang said with a trembling voice.
“Shen lang, I learned this from you,” Xu Qianqian said.
Shen lang cried. other than this 100 pounds, I have nothing. If you want to live, you have one. I have nothing else.
apologize to us! Xu Qianqian said. apologize to us for all the harm you’ve caused us in the past!
Shen lang bowed and said, ” Yingluo, I’m wrong. I’m really wrong! I beg you, on account of our past relationship, please spare me this once, please let me go!”
Eh?
These words seemed a little familiar!
However, this was Xu Wanwan’s first time hearing this.
It felt really good!
What a wonderful feeling.
Shen lang, who was so powerful in the past, actually apologized to him and looked so pitiful.
That feeling was really similar to the feeling of entering a new world after reading the ” endless wind and moon ” he wrote.
AI! Humans are so complicated. They have so many new worlds.
Xu Qianqian said,”Shen lang, did you feel good when you forced Zhu Wenhua to burn the” Mandarin Duck dream “that he wrote?” Burning thousands of books at once, burning your own blood, sweat, and tears, isn’t that great?”
That’s right, it felt even better to kill hundreds of millions of his blood and sweat at once.
“Xu Qianqian, what do you want to do?” Shen lang asked while trembling.
Xu Qianqian said,”didn’t you write a book to slander me?” How many copies of “endless wind and moon” do you still have? take them all out and pile them up into a mountain, then burn them publicly.”
“No, no!” Shen lang said in a hoarse voice, ” that’s my blood and sweat. I can’t burn it. I can’t burn it!
Xu Qianqian said,”you can go back now. I won’t take your cocoons.” Just let those 100000 people starve to death and let them besiege the palace of the Earl.”
Shen lang staggered and took a step back.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said in despair, ” “I can publicly burn the” endless moon and wind “that I wrote, but you have to buy the cocoons at the full price.”
“Impossible.” Xu Qianqian said.
Shen lang said, ” then let’s fall out. The palace of the Earl will buy these cocoons with our own money. We will boil them in boiling water and spin them into silk.
Then, Shen lang left.
Xu Qianqian’s voice came from behind him. “Do you have any workers? Is there a workshop? Do you have money?”
“60% of the original price, it’s up to you to sell or not!”
Shen lang gritted his teeth and said, ” I’m selling! I’m selling! I’m selling!
......
Next, Shen lang piled the thousands of copies of ” endless wind and moon ” in the Xu family’s courtyard and personally burned them.
In the flames, Xu Qianqian’s face was so excited that it was almost distorted.
This was the most carefree day of his life.
It felt so good to be slapped in the face. No wonder Shen lang was so addicted to it.
She looked at Shen Lang’s figure through the flames, and a sentence appeared in her mind.
He looked like a dog!
Even though it was broad daylight, Xu Guangyun was still drinking happily.
He had regained all the face he had lost previously.
Shen lang, to think that you would have such a day!
Hahaha!
At that moment, Shen lang suddenly shouted, ” people of Xuanwu city, just look. I’m doing this for you, for you!
Then, Shen lang fell backward and fainted.
It was not that he had deliberately gone too far. It was just that after he fainted, Xu Guangyun and Xu Qianqian’s wariness would naturally be much lower.
As long as he kept his eyes open, this pair of father and daughter would be instinctively alert.
......
The Xu family had finally started to purchase the cocoons from the farmers in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
Even though it was only 60% of the original price.
However, these farmers could only sell it with tears in their eyes.
However, Xu Qianqian still acted up at the critical moment.
She suddenly made a decision.
I’ll only take 300000 Jin, and I’ll talk about the rest later.
Everyone panicked when they heard this!
Only three hundred thousand Jin?
The entire fief of Xuanwu city had produced more than three million Jin of cocoons.
Collecting three hundred thousand Jin was just a drop in the bucket.
don’t worry, ” Xu Qianqian said. we will take the rest of the cocoons. However, we still need to discuss with Shen lang.
Her intentions were clear. She wanted Shen lang to compromise further and agree to her more excessive requests before she continued to collect the cocoons in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu’s fief.
I’ll take your life while you’re down.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Of course, Xu Qianqian had to torture Shen lang and make him wish he was dead!
Shen lang, who was pretending to be unconscious, smiled.
AI!
It was really wonderful.
Not only would the Xu family go bankrupt, but the palace of the Earl would also make a fortune.
If I can’t read Xu Qianqian’s pulse, I won’t write ‘first Imperial uncle’.
......
300,000 catties of silkworm cocoons had been purchased.
He got it at a 40% discount.
Xu Guangyun was really overjoyed.
Not only did he trample on Shen lang and embarrass the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, but he also earned a lot of money.
Next, Xu Guangyun planned to buy the remaining three million pounds of silkworm cocoons at a 30% discount.
I’m going to be rich, I’m going to be rich!
It felt so good!
Everything he had lost in the past was back, and he could still earn more!
Hahahaha!
check every basket of cocoons carefully. Shen lang is a very cunning person. Be careful of any traps.
randomly check ten cocoons in each basket. Don’t miss any clues. Be especially careful to see if the surface of the cocoons is coated with poison.
Next, hundreds of workers carefully inspected the cocoons purchased from the palace of the Earl.
There were thousands of cocoons in each basket, and only two or three of them had white phosphorus. The probability of getting it was very low.
&Nbsp; okay.
Even if you were picked occasionally, would you notice anything?
The cocoon was intact. There was nothing on the surface, let alone poison.
take out 100 cocoons at random and cut them open for inspection.
Xu Guangyun gave the order.
One hundred cocoons were cut open.
Everything was normal inside. There was no poison or anything, only a worm.
It was a cocoon that was about to turn into a butterfly.
Putting aside the fact that the cocoon filled with white phosphorus had not been drawn, even if it had been drawn, it would not have been detected.
That was because Shen lang and Mulan had injected the White phosphorus into the cocoon.
Xu Guangyun and the others were only thinking about poisons and had never known about white phosphorus. Even if they were extremely smart, they would not be able to detect any problems.
It was impossible to find out. Shen lang was very meticulous.
“Master, there’s nothing wrong with these cocoons.” Said the craftsman.
“Transport them all to the large workshops outside the city. Distribute the cocoons according to their grades,” Xu Guangyun said.
“Yes!”
Then, thousands of boxes of cocoons were transported to the Xu family’s large workshop outside the city and distributed to various storage rooms according to their levels.
......
The Xu family’s large workshop occupied more than 100 acres.
There were a few million pounds of cocoons stored inside, as well as countless amounts of silk and silk.
The price of a catty of fresh cocoons on modern earth was about 17 or 18 Yuan, and it was more expensive in ancient times.
In short, the total value of all the silk, cocoons, and silk in the Xu family’s large workshop was more than 100000 gold coins.
If converted to Earth’s currency, it would be more than a few hundred million.
This was almost half of the Xu family’s assets, not to mention this large workshop of over a hundred mu.
The thousands of baskets of silkworm cocoons in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu were placed in dozens of storerooms according to their grades.
Over a thousand cocoons with the White phosphorus were also quietly lying within, and at this moment, there was no need to mention how obedient they were.
The entire workshop was in full swing.
The fire was still burning.
The water in the big pot was boiling.
Hundreds of workers were busy day and night.
These were the two busiest times of the year, one in spring and another in autumn.
He had no choice but to hurry.
The construction period was very tight.
The cocoons had to be cooked in the shortest time possible, then they had to be extracted, spun into silk, and then dyed.
Before long, merchants from all over the world would gather in Xuanwu city to buy silk.
From south to north, from west to east.
Merchants from the Western regions would come from thousands of miles away.
Time is money was fully displayed here.
The entire workshop was shrouded in mist.
Even though it was late autumn, the workshop was still as hot as a steamer.
Almost all the workers were shirtless.
The highest temperature here was over 50 degrees, and most places were over 40 degrees.
The temperature was gradually transmitted to the storage room.
Gradually, it spread to every cocoon.
Among them was the cocoon that Shen lang and Mulan had poured white phosphorus into.
The entire workshop was still bustling with noise and excitement.
However, a corner of the storage room seemed to be particularly quiet.
It was as quiet as the moment before a bomb exploded.
And then,
One of the cocoons was the first to exceed 40 degrees.
The humid environment made the White phosphorus more easily flammable.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft.”
Within a certain cocoon, there was white phosphorus that exceeded the ignition point.
Suddenly, a ball of green fire appeared.
The most terrifying will-o’- the-wisp!
“BOOM!”
The ghost fire was ignited!
&Nbsp; the burning of white phosphorus was far more terrifying than gasoline.
In an instant, the entire cocoon was on fire.
Immediately after, the basket of cocoons was set on fire.
Then, the tens of thousands of pounds of cocoons in the storage room were all burned!
The destruction had begun!
