Chapter 1008 Another Strike
Su Zan knew that if he wanted to find out what the mysterious "thunder from the sky" was all about, he would definitely bleed heavily.
But if he gave up just like that, he would be unwilling to do so!
For such a powerful and unknown weapon, especially one in the hands of the enemy, any normal person would want to take a look at its true appearance.
Of course he is no exception.
But if he were asked to spend one or two hundred thousand taels of silver to listen to such a sound, he really couldn't bear to do so!
How to do?
In the end how to do?
Su Zan's mind was working rapidly.
But after thinking about it, there is no better solution.
After hesitating for a while, Su Zan said, "How about this? I am willing to take out 100,000 taels of silver to see the power of the 'Sky Thunder' in the prince's hand."
One hundred thousand taels of silver?
Yun Zheng's face turned green after hearing Su Zan's words.
For a moment, he really wanted to pick up the tea and pour it on Su Zan's face.
What are you thinking?
You want to see my secret weapon for one hundred thousand taels of silver?
Do I need your 100,000 taels of silver?
This is not the way you send away a beggar!
Although the explosives in his hand were no longer top secret, for Xiqu, it was absolutely unknown!
You want me to explode once for him to see for a hundred thousand taels of silver?
This is definitely a dream!
"Although I am not well-off, I am still short of these 100,000 taels of silver."
Yun Zheng flatly refused, "Let me tell you this, the gift I prepared for Saint King Sangjie is worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver..."
Too little?
Su Zan frowned.
He secretly cursed Yun Zheng for being greedy.
I just want to see how powerful the so-called "sky thunder" is, not to ask him to sell me some of those weapons.
Even so, he still thinks one hundred thousand taels of silver is not enough?
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Su Zan directly doubled the price.
Yun Zheng smiled but said nothing, obviously not satisfied.
"Three hundred thousand taels!"
Su Zan gritted his teeth and raised the price again.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Yun Zheng no longer pretended to be reserved and said with a smile: "If the Prime Minister really wants to see it, then give me 800,000 dan of grain! Together with the previous 600,000 dan of grain, a total of 1.4 million dan of grain! Half of it will be given in the early stage, and the remaining half will be given after this season's harvest!"
Eight... eight hundred thousand dan of grain?
Su Zan's face changed, and he immediately greeted Yun Zheng's ancestors in his heart.
Giving him 700,000 dan of grain at one time already exceeded the limit of grain they could mobilize in the border areas!
In this case, it is necessary to mobilize food from the capital of Xiqu!
In this case, the loss during transportation will be huge!
This Yun Zheng is really greedy!
"My Lord, this price is too high, isn't it?"
Su Zan frowned and immediately began to bargain: "If it's 200,000 dan of grain, I can consider it!"
“This price is really not high!”
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled: "Maybe the Prime Minister thinks that it's just a noise, why does it need to cost so much? But the Prime Minister doesn't know that in order to make this thing, the king invested tens of millions of taels of silver."
"And the cost of this thing is indeed ridiculously high."
"It is said that the sound of thunder is worth a ton of gold! This is absolutely true!"
"Otherwise, why would I sacrifice the lives of my soldiers when I was conquering cities and plundering land?"
"Besides, this is the most top-secret thing in my hand. When my father came to inspect, he wanted to see the power of this thing, but I didn't agree..."
Yun Zheng spoke very seriously.
If you don’t know, you would think that what he said is true!
Su Zan was also confused by Yun Zheng's trick and had no idea which of Yun Zheng's words were true and which were false.
But there is one thing that Su Zan feels Yun Zheng might be telling the truth.
The cost of that "Sky Thunder" should be really not low.
Otherwise, when Yun Zheng was conquering cities, he could just use "Heavenly Thunder" to attack, and there would be no need to lead a large army to attack the city with great effort.
In other words, the secret weapon in Yun Zheng's hand cannot be used on the battlefield on a large scale?
If that's the case, it doesn't seem to make much difference whether you watch it or not.
However, after thinking again, Su Zan denied his idea.
If he can afford to use it for mining and quarrying, how can he not afford to use it for attacking cities and seizing lands?
It’s better to take a look!
At least, I have a rough idea in my mind!
For a moment, Su Zan was also in a dilemma.
Yun Zheng did not disturb Su Zan. He slowly picked up the tea and sipped it, letting him think slowly.
Anyway, it's okay to show him the power of explosives.
After all, this explosive has long been no secret in the military.
It was no longer a secret even among the field soldiers.
Even if he wanted to keep it secret, it would naturally get out over time.
But if Su Zan wants to see it, he must show some sincerity.
He really doesn't lack money now.
What he lacks is food!
At this moment, Su Zan was also struggling with his conscience.
After thinking silently for a while, Su Zan gritted his teeth and said, "Including the previous grain, the total is one million dan! According to what the prince said, I will give half first! If the prince is willing, take me to have a look! If the prince is really unwilling, then forget it!"
Save if you can!
Giving Yun Zheng too much food is definitely not a good thing for them.
"Is that so?"
Yun Zheng pretended to think, then nodded helplessly: "Forget it, since the Prime Minister has said so much, then let's do as the Prime Minister says! Who told me to admire the Prime Minister so much?"
appreciate?
Admire your eighteen generations of ancestors!
This bastard!
It's obvious that he is being taken advantage of!
But in order to experience the power of the "heavenly thunder", he was forced to be the scapegoat.
Su Zan resisted the urge to curse Yun Zheng, stood up and said, "Then shall we set off now?"
"it is good!"
Yun Zheng stood up and said, "However, Prime Minister, I am still a cautious person! I am worried that your country's Saint King will have objections. I will have someone detain you first, and then I will let you go when the food arrives. What do you think?"
"can!"
Su Zan readily agreed: "We will set off tomorrow. I will send someone back to pass on the message first!"
"well!"
Seeing Su Zan being so straightforward, Yun Zheng no longer had any other concerns.
Su Zan came and brought one million dan of grain. Although it was not given all at once, it was still pretty good!
Although I can't compare to the third brother, the boy who brings wealth, there is still a long way to go!
Under Yun Zheng's leadership, they soon arrived at the quarry in the south of the city.
Yun Zheng didn't waste any time and directly asked Shen Kuan and his men to install the explosives with sugar added.
We can earn food and intimidate Su Zan at the same time, so why not do it?
After the workers who needed to be evacuated were evacuated, Shen Kuan raised the flag in his hand.
As Shen Kuan raised the flag, a man immediately ignited the explosives and quickly fled.
Yun Zheng and Su Zan stood in the distance, looking at the quarry quietly.
"boom!"
Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the entire ground seemed to begin to tremble.
Su Zan stared wide-eyed, looking stupidly at the scene in the distance, his mind going blank.
The ground beneath their feet was shaking.
His soul was trembling...
