Everyone was stunned, and asked in confusion: "Is it the gunpowder bag that Jiang Zuofu invented before?"
Ji Kai nodded: "That's right, it's the gunpowder bag, also known as the explosive bag."
Everyone was even more confused, and said: "Aren't gunpowder bags used to kill enemies on the battlefield? Why reduce labor costs in the canal project?"
Ji Kai snorted coldly: "This is why I am not as smart as Lord Zhen. The power of this thing is really terrifying. It can not only kill enemies on the battlefield, but also open mountains and crack rocks. Today, Lord Zhen is outside the city. In front of the businessman, he used explosives to directly blow up a rocky mountain. A pack of explosives can be worth thousands of labor, not to mention the efficiency. It only takes a moment to break a mountain and crack rocks, it is like a god's help!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
Knowing that Li Yang just used gunpowder, he easily lowered the bidding price of the canal project greatly, and everyone was speechless.
All of them had bitter looks on their faces, and they sighed that Li Yang, a genius, had caused them a lot of trouble.
Next, everyone will be poor...
Chapter 354 Not bad money
"Teacher!"
Not long after, Li Yang also returned to the Qilin Hall.
Fusu hurriedly ran down in person and greeted him at the gate of the hall, with a bright smile on his face: "Teacher has worked hard, the talent of the Taifu is simply shocking, weeping ghosts and gods, haha!"
Fusu made a fortune today, and was extremely happy in his heart.
In the Qilin Hall, Fusu came to greet him in person, but Li Yang still had to pretend to be terrified. He couldn't be too crazy, otherwise he would die easily.So Li Yang hurriedly bowed to Fu Su, and said, "Mr., fortunately, the bid for the canal project was less than [-]% of the price of the Great Wall project."
"Hahaha, good, the Taifu has made a great contribution to me, Daqin!"
Fu Su repeatedly applauded, and then helped Li Yang to the front of the hall.
Seeing Li Yang, Dong Yi and other officials all blushed.
The day before, everyone in this Qilin Temple was convinced that the bidding price for the canal project could not be lower than that of the Great Wall project. As a result, it was obviously impossible to do something, but he could think of using explosives to perfectly reduce the project cost, making the bidding price for the canal project The price is less than [-]% of the Great Wall project, which is really a slap in the face for everyone!
It's a loss, this time it's a big loss.
Dong Yi and all the officials felt extremely regretful at this moment.
Of course, they didn't regret that they didn't trust Li Yang, but they regretted making a bet with Fusu.
Especially if you think about it carefully, every time what seems impossible to do, Li Yang can make the impossible possible, create miracles, and slap others in the face again and again.
This time, I really shouldn't be sure that he can't do it, let alone bet on it.
Thinking of this, everyone really wanted to give themselves a big slap, bet?Bet on your sister, bet.Now it's all right, just gamble away all the family property.
Everyone wants to cry without tears...
Li Yang glanced back at all the officials and saw that they all had bitter faces. He couldn't help but startled: "Hey, why do you all look so bitter? Today's successful bid for the canal project is my great joy. Why don't you laugh?"
The crowd was speechless.
laugh?
Laugh at your sister! Laugh!
We have suffered so badly this time, and we will suffer from poverty in the future. Can we laugh?
However, Li Yang said that this was Daqin's joy, so everyone could only pretend to be happy, and said "hehe" twice with a subterranean smile.
"..." Li Yang was stunned. Is this... a smile?
At this moment, Fu Su smiled and said, "Teacher, don't force them, they all lost money today."
"Losing money?" Li Yang asked with a question mark on his face.
Fusu said: "I'm idle today, so I made a small bet with the adults, betting whether the Taifu can successfully bid for the canal project lower than the Great Wall project. The result... hehe, I won. Haha .”
When Li Yang heard this, gambling on the Qilin Temple...was also drunk.
Throughout the ages, which dynasty's monarchs and ministers could be as ridiculous as them?
This kind of behavior, integrity, how to govern the country?
Li Yang shook his head with a wry smile, sighed, and asked again: "By the way, how much did the eldest son win today?"
Fusu picked up the betting list and looked at it, and said, "There is ten thousand gold."
When Li Yang heard this, his eyes widened.
Ten thousand gold, according to the current price level, one gold is the wages of ordinary people for two months, converted to the purchasing power of 6000 RMB in later generations, 6000 gold is [-] million RMB.
My god, this game is very big.
Above the court, playing such a big gamble, this... is it plausible!
Thinking of this, Li Yang couldn't help persuading him: "Young Master, now that you are in the position of supervising the country, how can you be greedy for fun? Gambling harms the country and yourself, and you should not gamble with the court. As the saying goes, one person participates in gambling. If you don’t gamble, I won’t gamble, and harmony and happiness will follow me. Only when everyone participates in the prohibition of gambling and purifies the social atmosphere, can we create a better home together!”
After hearing Li Yang's teaching, Fusu realized his mistake, and nodded quickly: "What the Taifu advised is, Gu will remember it next time!"
And Dong Yi and other ministers felt that what Li Yang said was very reasonable.
I waited for others, didn't I just gamble with one person today, and the whole family suffered?
What's more, today, I lost all my affluent days. Next, let's not talk about being well-off, it would be nice to be able to eat porridge.
Thinking of this, everyone came out one after another, and bowed to Li Yang with admiration on their faces: "Mr. Zhen Guozhi made it clear, we will keep it in mind!"
Seeing that everyone listened to it, Li Yang was also very pleased, knowing that mistakes can be corrected, there is nothing good about it.
He succeeded in persuading everyone, and Li Yang was also very satisfied, so he turned his head and smiled at Fu Su: "What... the eldest son, I have won so much this time, I think I have contributed a lot, and I don't plan to divide it. A sum from the minister?"
Gah!
Everyone staggered, fell to the ground, and fainted!
Lord Zhen, I didn't expect you to be such a person...
Fusu was also dumbfounded. After a long time of trouble, he actually wanted to divide the dirt?
"Uh, what, Gu's winning this time is really due to the merits of the Taifu. Let's see, this ten thousand gold, Gu and the Taifu share four or six points." Fusu is still very generous.
Li Yang nodded happily: "Okay, I am six, you are four."
Fu Su shook his head: "No, Gu Liu, Grand Tutor Si."
Li Yang shook his head: "No, minister six, son four."
