Chapter 163 Crystal Cannon Battle

"Oh?" Feng Chao was stared at by Mingying's beautiful eyes, as calm as him, and also felt a little hot. "Are you sure to refine high-quality treasures? What level of refinery is this little brother?

"At present, it is the second order." Zhou Yi replied truthfully.

When asked this question, Wang and Lin opened their eyes at the same time, but as soon as they heard the answer, they all narrowed again. Zhou Yi felt funny and subconsciously touched his nose. "But we are sure to refine products that are not inferior to any treasure."

"Oh, are you so sure?" Feng Chao turned his eyes to Ming Ying and didn't believe it.

"I guarantee it with the reputation of the angry moon gang." Of course, Mingying absolutely believes in Zhou Yi's strength.

At this time, he heard Lin Zhong hum slightly from his nose and said slowly, "It seems that we have never heard the name of the Nuyue Gang before."

"You have heard about it from now on, and the name of the Nuyue Gang will always ring in your ears." Ming Ying replied faintly.

"Gusu City really doesn't rely on it." Feng Chao spread out his hands, "However, I have an opportunity here. If you seize it, I can help you apply to the court for an introduction." Then, he repeated the construction of the crystal cannon as it was.

After hearing this, Ming Ying glanced at Zhou Yi, nodded at him, and immediately said, "The Nuyue Gang dares not boast that it will definitely make a qualified crystal cannon, but we will do our best to send it to the lord as soon as possible after developing the sample cannon."

Feng Chao saw that Mingying agreed so happily. After being slightly stunned, he smiled: "So good! If the Nuyue Gang can do it, I will not only give you a guide, but also enjoy the same mineral and silver treatment, and reduce the tax burden by 20%.

"The Nuyue Gang seems to have a lot of friendship with Brother Du. If this younger brother Zhou gets the help of Brother Du and even Master Shangguan, he can indeed refine a good treasure. Wang Yueming opened his eyes again and said slowly, "However, the price of Shangguan Fengyun's retirement is strictly forbidden to refine any artifacts. If he takes action, it will be a great crime of bullying the king!"

Feng Chao's face changed. He knew that the leaders of these big families were all top people. He couldn't hide his ideas from others at all. He was a little unhappy and said, "Master Shangguan is the first person to refine the Chinese summer weapon today. Such a blocking of Xuezang really makes relatives happy. If it is not used, it will be a big loss for me in midsummer..."

"Your Excellency, are you dissatisfied with the emperor?" Wang Yueming's voice is not loud, but every word is a word of heart. The forest did not say anything, and silence may be bystanders or acquiescence.

Feng Chao took a deep breath. He knew that no matter how despicable the other party's ideas were, they stood on justice. Moreover, he is just a city owner, and above him, there is also the governor of Yunzhou. And these two families can freely enter and exit the state governor's government. Although they will not move out of the state governor to oppress themselves because of this matter, there is nothing they can do about their aggressiveness.

"The patriarch Wang's words are serious!" Feng Chao said in a low voice, "As a court official, I naturally abide by the national decrees. However, Nuyue helped calm down the brave bandits and deserved to get this opportunity. That's the decision. Within one month, whoever can take out the most advanced crystal cannon samples will get the support of Gusu City.

"Competition?" Lin Zhong's little eyes raised gently, "Your Excellency, please forgive me, this is a small gang that is not even qualified to operate..."

The meaning of the words is that Feng Chao still took a fancy to Shangguan Fengyun, who has an indirect connection with the Nuyue Gang.

"There is also a clear specialty in the way of refining. Some are good at building magic arrays, and some are good at Chenfa blessing; some are obsessed with casting swords, while others like to make disposable Chenfa items. As far as I know, what Master Shangguan is good at is array construction, and what he likes is casting swords, but he is not very good at crystal firearms. Your worries really don't make sense. Zhou Yi's words were lukewarm, but they were loud.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Zhou Yi smiled: "Within 20 days, the Nuyue Gang will have its own residence. Since the two predecessors don't believe it, it's better to bid from Gusu City. As long as you have weapons management qualifications, you can participate in Rongbaozhai sub-number and Wuweilongguan sub-number. Whoever has the best will be rewarded by the court in the end. As far as I know, this is the first time in midsummer to give up the vein to the merchant.

Zhou Yi's words are full of needles, but they are completely business-to-do and have no intention of opportunistic. Even though Wang and Lin are unhappy, they can't say anything. Wang Yueming looked at each other and said, "In this case, let's wait for your instructions." After saying that, he left.

Feng Chao smiled bitterly and motioned Mingying and others to continue to sit down and talk: "You have seen that it's not easy for me to be a city owner... Although these big families are polite to you, they don't pay attention to you at all. The little brother is right. This is the first time that the court has granted mining rights to private individuals, and it is... the idea of the princess of the country. Therefore, I am not afraid that they will reveal this matter to the state governor and even the court. What I'm most afraid of is that the brave alliance will return..."

"Lord, don't worry, we will try our best to build a qualified crystal cannon." Zhou Yidao.

When he came out of the city lord's mansion, Zhou Yi was already very sure. Feng Chao does not have a deep family power, but obviously, he is supported by Nalan Lingqi. Nalan Lingqi naturally wanted to get rid of the dependence of the previous court on the big family. In this case, as long as the cannon is built, there is hope for this introduction, and it is indeed an unexpected joy to get the mineral vein and 600,000 taels of silver.

However, Shangguan Fengyun himself really can't help with the manufacture of crystal cannons. Although the court will not send people to monitor, his daily life and meeting situation should be reported in detail, and maybe someone will be sent to spot check.

However, it is enough to have the Golden Stone Classic and the Refining Notes. Zhou Yi is confident that he can make crystal cannons. However, it will take some effort to improve and design the Sino-summer version of the crystal cannon.

Gusu City has a similar name to the famous city of Zhou Yi Nashi. It has a long history and beautiful gardens, but the terrain outside the city is different. Outside this Gusu City, in addition to large rice fields, there are scenic peaks on three sides, namely Cuiwei Mountain, Zhongshan Mountain and Yuxiu Mountain. In particular, Cuiwei Mountain lives in the north of Gusu City, with dense forests, peaks, cranes, gurgling water, waterfalls and clear springs, which is simply a fairyland. Hundreds of acres on Cuiwei Mountain belong to the property of Yuchenyuan. Of course, Yuchenyuan can't occupy all the beautiful Cuiwei Mountain in Gusu City. In fact, Wang, Lin and other big families are hundreds of mu of manors on the mountain. And Qingmei, I don't know if she has experienced the hot heart of the president. The residence of Nuyue Gang, which she looked at, was located on Cuiwei Mountain, and was also a merchant's manor. It looked like about 60 or 70 mu. There was no problem to station thousands of people. After the bandit disaster, he took action urgently due to financial problems. On the other hand, there are hundreds of mu in Yuxiu Mountain, but the scenery is not as beautiful as Cuiwei Mountain.

"I want, I want!" Zhou Yi said impatiently, "No matter how much it is, you have to buy the manor in Cuiwei Mountain. Wait--" Seeing that Qingmei was about to leave, she called her back and swallowed, "Of course you have to bargain. The cheaper the better, but!" He aggravated his tone again, "Be sure to buy it!"

When holding the lamp, Zhou Yi was studying the Golden Stone Classic carefully. He broke in with a charming wind and fire. He picked up Zhou Yi's only sip of Tieguanyin and drank it. Then his beautiful eyes stared at Zhou Yi for a moment. The light pink eyes looked extremely charming under the lamp.

Zhou Yi was stared at by her, closed the book and smiled, "What, do you like the president? That won't work. You have to go through the test of Mrs. Shangguan first..."

"Mrs. Shangguan!" Qingmei's face suddenly changed color and stood up at the door.

"Ah!" Zhou Yi was so scared that he looked sideways with a pale face. The door was empty, and there was no figure of Mrs. Shangguan.

"Okay, how dare you overshadow me!" Zhou Yi laughed and scolded, shaking his hand and threw away the Golden Stone Classic.

"President, please forgive me!" Qingmei screamed exaggeratedly and moaned lazily, so scared Zhou Yi to cover her mouth again, "You whispered, and it's another lesson to be seen by my mother-in-law!"

Qingmei laughed proudly and silently, and Zhou Yi looked defeated: "Say it, what's the matter?"

"The property has been bought." A pile of light yellow paper with fragrance appeared in Qingmei's hand. "The house deed, the land deed, the rice fields under the mountain, the peasants and some of the servants left behind, all the contracts are here."

"Well, you put it away." Zhou Yi glanced at the paper and pushed the paper to Qingmei.

"What are you doing?" Qingmei wondered.

"You are the housekeeper of the Chinese Association, and of course these are managed by you."

"This--" Qingmei felt Zhou Yi's trust and was naturally in a good mood. However, Zhou Yi is doomed to have a headache today. Qingmei held the letter in her arms and made fun of him, "Can you rest assured that such a big real estate will not be managed by Yue Wei?"

"What are you worried about? What are you doing?"

Hearing this, there was a little shrewdness and severity in the softness. Zhou Yi and Qingmei were frightened. At the same time, they stood up straight and then bowed at the same time, but one was called "autiful mother" and the other was called "Mrs. Shangguan".

Mrs. Shangguan looked at the two warily, especially Qingmei, and frowned slightly and said, "Qingmei, what are you looking for Xiaoyi?"

"Mrs. Hui, the manor where Nuyue Gang lives is ready to stop. It is a manor in Cuiwei Mountain, covering an area of more than 60 mu. I am discussing some accounting issues with the president."

"Account problem..." Mrs. Shangguan looked at Zhou Yi doubtfully, "What account problem?"

Qingmei silently opened her mouth to Zhou Yi and said helplessly, "I didn't expect that the land price in Gusu City was so high. A 67 mu of real estate actually cost more than 1.6 million taels of silver. All the savings of the Huaxia Association were not enough to put in, and some of the previous savings of the sisters in the association were used..."

"What?" Zhou Yi was a little dumbfounded, "How much did you use?"

"Although the equipment is first-class, it is all taken from the dragon clan. The assets in the meeting did not have much. They disposed of the treasures usually refined by the president and Master Pi, and with the previous savings, there were about 1.4 million taels. The remaining 100,000 taels were collected by the sisters in the meeting..."
