"That thing is called gunpowder, and it was made by some of my special workers. There is no need to worry about these things. This time, I have brought you hundreds of thousands of tons in the space ring, which is enough for you to sustain it. It's just that this thing must be..." Li Cong said.

"I know that you must keep it well. You must not touch things with fire. You say I am not a fool. I naturally want to keep things like this. You don't need to tell me a lot. Secondly, I put these things in a cave, a dry and ventilated cave. In order to make the inside not so humid, I let them dig out the cave everywhere, and the outside air can enter it. When it rains, it is naturally blocked again. Fortunately, there are no so-called springs on our mountain, otherwise these things will definitely become wet." Takuba Hara said, what is going on with Li Cong, mother-in-law Yes, I pay a lot of attention to this thing. I don't need him to tell me so much. This thing is pretty good, mainly because this thing is more expensive.

Generally speaking, about 250 grams of explosives are good for everyone’s bow and arrow. If there are too many things, they can’t be shot. Even something as powerful as a serial crossbow will not work, let alone relying on your own arm strength. It sounds like a lot of hundreds of thousands of tons, but it won’t last long if you really use it. However, Li Cong said that this thing doesn’t need to be reserved, so he just listened to him. If these things are true It would be really terrifying to throw them all here. If the enemy knows about it and they specifically attack this place, our fate is really...

After Linghu is left on the front line, there will be nothing for Li Cong. This can be used as a detention place. As for when to let this kid go back, Li Cong has his own ideas, that is, after this war is over, Or when he knocked down the sea warehouse of the Thunder Gate, at that time, he could put the kid back.Now I want to negotiate terms with myself, or forget it?Impossible, there is no sense of security now.

At this moment, the people of the three major empires have also received news from Li Cong. The representative of the Western Empire to negotiate with Li Cong is naturally Prince Zheng. This old guy and Li Cong can be regarded as a year-end payment. The last battle with the Black Magic Medicine Master It wasn't that Li Cong gave this fellow the pill, it is estimated that he still has to be as badly injured as the elder of the Cao Bang.But now I can't see it at all, my body is very good.The Western Empire felt it was better for him to come forward in this negotiation. Now the three companies are asking Li Cong, because they can't tear their faces with the Eastern Empire, but they can't let the Eastern Empire expand like this. Li Cong is their best It's a good shield. This shield is about to develop now. Their hearts are deadly contradictory. On the one hand, they hope that Li Cong can resist the invasion of the Eastern Empire, and then it is best to wipe out the Thunder Gate.This is the best. If that doesn’t work, at the very least, I have to put some eye drops on them to make them feel less comfortable. On the other hand, I also think that Li Cong’s ability can’t be too great, if he is very powerful. , I may be another Thunder Gate in the future.No one can accept such a thing. Raiden Gate is still developing in a concealed way, but what about Li Cong?Blatantly.

The prince sent by the northern empire was enough, his status was enough, but the prestige within the empire was still a bit lacking, and he wanted to become the emperor in the country.Li Cong’s support is indispensable. Although Li Cong has not said what he wants to do with this guy, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. If Li Cong supports this kid, he will be more likely to be on the throne. , At least his other brothers have no such opportunity, so he is likely to sacrifice the interests of the empire in exchange for Li Cong's support in this negotiation.His own thinking is the same. Anyway, the empire is not his own. Even if he sacrifices some interests, he is not sacrificing himself. But if Li Cong really wants to support himself, this matter will be easier to handle. At that time When he became the emperor, what is not a matter of his own words, Li Cong is not small, but wants to fight the emperor in the first country?Not yet.

The Southern Empire sent naturally to kill the gods. Among the three parties, only he himself was not a member of the officialdom. However, the status of the kill gods in the Southern Empire was similar to that of Prince Zheng in the Western Empire. In other words, the crown princes from the Northern Empire were a bit like Not enough to see, although the crown prince is very tall on the surface, but in the eyes of Prince Zheng and the others, how many sons does the emperor have?It is estimated that there are hundreds of records, and there are thousands of those that are not recorded. This son is dead and the other son has come up. This kind of thing is normal. No one will care about this. The people think that the prince is precious. For tenth-level fighters, the prince is no different from ordinary people. If they want to deal with it, they will naturally deal with it.

The people of the three empires and Li Cong happened to be the four-party talks. What they discussed together was Li Cong’s question of the fiefdom and army expansion. In fact, they sent back news from their spies that the Eastern Empire mobilized more than twenty. After hundreds of millions of people are ready to open this channel, they will know that this kid Li Cong will definitely speak to them. Two billion is only a rudimentary action. In history, the troops used by several empires in wars were tens of billions, even It's more. Two billion can only mean a small number, not what it is. Li must not be small when he speaks at this time. The three parties are conflicted. If you don't agree to this kid, I guess This kid has to retreat now. If he agrees, after this war, it is estimated that they will not be able to restrain Li Cong. Li has really been the next thunderbolt since then.

In order to take the initiative in the talks with Li Cong, the three parties first held a meeting in Liangshui City, where the alliance is located. The three of them did not bring any entourage, and all three of them could make some important decisions on behalf of their empire. , So there is no need for such things as think tanks. Among the three people, the age is the young age of the Prince of the Northern Empire, but don’t underestimate the young. This guy’s brain is really not young at all. It’s also very good to do things. If it’s bad, the emperor of the Northern Empire wouldn’t be able to entrust this to him. Knowing that this is something related to the nation’s fortune in the Northern Empire, he would sacrifice the country. Of course, it will not be too much.

"Prince. Your Northern Empire seems to be the closest to the battlefield. What do you think? Their Cao Family Commercial Firm seems to be adding troops to your side." The first three people chatted for ten minutes. No one has given a specific meaning yet. Prince Zheng spoke directly. If he doesn’t speak, I really don’t know when they will wait. He is still a martial artist himself. Both of these guys are literati. of.The literati knows how to play tricks, if they work hard to do this.It is estimated that they will have no problem saying that all night.

"Senior Killing God, you are right. At least 45 percent of this military expansion plan was produced in our northern empire, so the impact on our northern empire can be said to be huge, Mr. Cao proposed. This number is really a bit big, and it also requires a part of the command of our Northern Empire’s local army, which seems a bit too much.” The prince thought for a while and said, Li Cong asked him to ask for three months. 00 divisions are compiled and trained within.According to the organization of one million people per division, such a huge division level is estimated to be mentioned by Li Cong. An army of 200 million people is nothing in the Northern Empire, but it is now in the Northern Empire. There are already more than 600 million people in Cao’s army belonging to the Cao’s family business. Adding 200 million people, it’s 800 million people, which is already five percent of the Northern Empire’s entire army.This number is already a lot. If Li Cong has any intention of disobedience, this matter will happen.

"Actually, I don’t think this army has anything to do. It’s just some ordinary people. This time our Western Empire also has an expansion of 1,500 divisions. I am going to agree. I am not as difficult as you are for Xiao Cao’s. I don’t have the face, and you know, what kind of financial reforms our imperial emperor carried out, the good guys messed up the entire empire’s economy, if it weren’t for the Cao’s firm that had put out tens of thousands of dollars. Loans to us, it is estimated that our current government may go bankrupt." Prince Zheng said this with a sigh of relief.Last month, Wu Zuoxi was already taken care of by the Emperor of the Western Empire. The new guy didn’t know anything at all. Then came out a bullshit, some economic reforms, good guys, this blind guy’s things are done. Most people in the entire empire were dumbfounded. How could there be such a thing that caused a large-scale economic recession in the empire and soaring prices. If it hadn’t been for the government to obtain loans from these silvers, it would rush to buy bulk goods to stabilize prices. , The entire empire may have big things.

"Hehe, you old slicker, even if there is no such thing, I don’t think you will be embarrassed by that kid. You have to know that your step-by-step indulgence now will become troublesome in the future. If it is really troublesome, you will have a headache for a while. Our Southern Empire actually doesn't need to deal with so much. Anyway, even if the army is established, it will not be in our territory. We can completely ignore it." The Killing God heard that Prince Zheng came out and said that. He immediately became unhappy. When did this old guy come back to this set, he was just thinking about reaping the benefits. Isn't it that time? The empire has already begun to look at it. If Li Cong has a second heart with them, this matter can be a little difficult to handle. Although the three of them have a tendency to unite because of the Eastern Empire, they are actually still There is no connection.

"Wait a moment, I said, old fellow, you really misunderstood me. I didn't mean to benefit. I really want to thank that kid Cao Ke. Can you give me tens of thousands of dollars in one bite? You can’t take, even though you have so much private property, will you really take it out to help us? That’s absolutely impossible. Each of you must have its own use. With people, our Western Empire must support them. From a personal point of view, my life is still given to me by this kid. The expansion of the army is nothing. As long as it does not threaten the rule of the Western Empire, I think it can. Yes, besides, people are doing things for us this time. If they don’t fight against the old bastard Linghu Pinqiu, let me see if any of you are capable of having a fight with this old bastard?" God knows that this old guy must have misunderstood himself, so he quickly explained that this matter can't be what you said.

"Hehe, I really didn't see that your old boy is still such a guy. I can see that you both have their own difficulties. It seems that you don't want to fight against that boy. But I have to say something ugly. Yes, our southern empire will definitely not agree with him to station any soldier on our southern empire’s territory. It’s okay to form an army, but we must leave the territory of our southern empire. Anyway, I think the main direction of Cao’s business is also Those who are not on our side are both in your two empires, and it is normal for the army to be mobilized in the past. "Can you two keep your breath?Lao Tzu will give you such a killer directly, let you see what is going on.Lao Tzu doesn’t oppose the expansion of the army anymore, you just wait for the bad luck one by one, but his army on our country can’t be in our country, anyway, there are only three countries, he is not in our empire, he will definitely come Those who go up to your turf, you can live as long as you can bear them one by one. Sure enough, after the words to kill God are finished.The expressions of the other two people changed immediately.

How can this be? If this is the case, the 150 million people of the Southern Empire will definitely go out. If this is a war, these people are really not good enough, but if it is not a war, these people are absolute Because of the factors of instability, how can these guys come to our country one by one?

"Senior Killing God. I think this matter is a bit ill-considered. These soldiers are the people of the Southern Empire. If they go to our Northern Empire or the Western Empire, I think it is a bit inappropriate. These people may miss it. Their hometown or something, it would be bad if it caused the disadvantages of the war. We didn’t accept these people. Besides, even if we accepted, Master Cao might not be willing. He gave it to us. The documents say that in addition to this incident, he is also afraid of other retaliations by the Linghu family, which may cause some harm to his industry. So he feels that it is necessary to form an army." Prince Zheng As soon as he wanted to speak, the prince of the Northern Empire took the words immediately. What he said was really good. Prince Zheng also secretly gave a thumbs up.

"Haha, kid, what do you mean by this? You threaten me with that kid Cao Ke? Is your kid really okay? I really haven't been threatened by others, what's the matter? This meeting today will be with you There is nothing wrong with both of them. The most important thing is my business. It doesn’t matter if you are one by one, I won’t say anything. We just agreed to it together. Don’t forget it. Two months ago, This kid has just expanded by 10 divisions. At that time, it had an establishment of 500,000 people. Now it has doubled its establishment, and the number has increased several times. In the future, this kid will definitely have a bigger establishment. Appetite, I'm afraid you won't be able to support this kid by then." Killing said angrily, these two guys didn't even answer their own words. What do they want?

Prince Zheng and the prince of the Northern Empire have not spoken for a while. The killing of the gods is true, and they all know that if they expand at this rate, things are really not that simple. Many times they The connivance one by one is dying at the end. Although it is impossible to catch up with the thunder and lightning gate, it is almost the same. They can't continue to indulge like this, but how should they stop it?He promised part of this kid's condition, but he couldn't agree to all of them. If they agreed to all of them, they might really regret it in the future.

"Actually, things can be like this. It's not as good as we promised this number, but he wants him to recruit himself. We don't care about the weapon. Let him do it himself, including training and other things. How about that? "The prince of the Northern Empire thought for a while and said, this can be regarded as a passive method of sabotage, and this can alleviate it.

"This is one way, but what should I do if this delays the frontline things? You can't delay the frontline. If the people from the Thunder Gate return to the Eastern Empire from there, it would not be easy to go back. Human, there are also a lot of past wealth from our three empires, which is very amazing. Although the Thunder Gate will also lose some, but to be honest, this will increase the overall strength of the Eastern Empire a lot. Yes, they now feel that they are not in the same class as us. If these guys continue to rise one by one, I am afraid that their ambitions will be even greater. At that time, no matter how our three empires avoid it, it will be impossible. Hidden. In the end, even if we unite, half of our empire may be lost." Prince Zheng immediately denied this idea, and he also got the support of the killing god. Now the most important thing is the front line. If something goes wrong on the front line, no one can bear the responsibility. This is the biggest thing.His words also silenced the other two people.

"The situation on the front line is also not very optimistic. As far as I know, in the past two months. The Eastern Empire dispatched more than 4 million people to attack the line of defense Cao Ke set himself, although the line of defense is still with us. In his hands, the losses were very severe. According to Cao Ke’s report, eight divisions had been lost. According to their organization, there were four million people. Their combat effectiveness was really far from that of the Eastern Empire’s cavalry. Not small." Said the Killing God, they also have their own eyeliner on the front line, but the news that those people conveyed back are some legends on the battlefield, and they will not actually go to the front line to see it.Therefore, the news that Li returned from spreading is quite accurate and very good.

"Since this is the case, it seems that he is not so nervous. He has formed so many troops because of the frontline problems. If this is the case, I think we can understand it." Prince Zheng thought for a while and said, since it is the frontline. There is something wrong with the war on the side. It is okay to have more troops.This is also difficult for Li Cong. He himself is a trader, and he is naturally not very clear about some things in the army. How the army fights the enemy is beyond the control of a businessman.

"I think so too. It's just that on the front line, I think it's not just because of the number of troops. The troops of the Eastern Empire are different from ours. Let alone Cao Ke's miscellaneous troops." The original intention at the beginning was a bit different. Prince Zheng was always protecting Li Cong. The prince of the Northern Empire didn’t say anything. I really regretted that I had discussed the problem with these two guys. None of the results achieved.

The meeting was so unhappy. After getting in the car, Killing God kept thinking about how to restrict Li Cong, but the two guys didn't think about it at all.I really don’t know what the people of these two empires did. They didn’t expect to contain Li Cong. The Cao’s firm is not the original small firm at present. It’s already very powerful now. It’s impossible for them to be in business at all. The first thing that killed this organization was the food they sold. Damn, the price is so cheap. I don’t know where it came from. Damn, the price of the whole mainland is 15 yuan per catty. Well, this price is acceptable in the Northern Empire and the Western Empire, but in the Southern Empire, it offends most of the people. They don’t grow food directly, and they all go to work in the cities. The social security of this guy has dropped drastically. There is no way. The food they grow does not have 15 cents, and the cost is not enough.

Then there is the damn alchemy plan. Now Li Cong said that he would help people make alchemy once a year. Basically, some forces in the upper echelons of the Southern Empire are related to Li Cong. As long as it doesn’t matter. Basically, they wouldn't do things like Li Cong against people like Li Cong in matters of their own life and death, because it is really not worthwhile.

No, this thing can't go on like this. Killing the gods doesn't really bother Li Cong too much, but he must be responsible for all the people in the Southern Empire, or else he will suffer in the end.

Look at Li Cong again, because this negotiation is more important, Li Cong also needs to find the most favorable conditions for him, so Li Cong asked Cui boss to accompany him to negotiate, and now this guy is very powerful, counted in the Northern Empire. It’s the most popular character, and it’s mainly that this kid is responsible for buying sex. He’s responsible for Li Cong’s alchemy. All he has to do is to happily get money from those people for a year and eleven months. Follow me with medicinal materials, and then quickly take the pill for the rest of the month to exchange for the remaining part of the reward. This guy usually does this very well, and it fits his current day. The guy doesn't have much passion for what some young people should do now.

"This time is different from the previous time. We are facing the most powerful people in the three empires. Even the princes of the Northern Empire are here. We must adopt some negotiation skills. The price is high, and then slowly lowered, or should we take some other measures?..." This guy knows who is going to negotiate with him along the way and he hasn’t stopped since then, Li Cong If you know that this guy is talking like a lady now, he would definitely not ask this guy to participate in such a thing. I really don’t know what this guy’s mind is thinking. Maybe it’s the first time I talked to such a high level. Just talk to people.

"I said, can you be quiet. Now we are negotiating, and we are not asking others to do things. Don't think of yourself as low-level, okay? We are at the same level with them now. Anyway, we are not asking them. They are asking us. If we don't fight them on the front line, they will have to face the Eastern Empire by themselves." Li never said angrily.In fact, Li Cong himself doesn't care what class or class, but Boss Cui is an ordinary citizen after all. Such a thing has never been encountered before, and it is inevitable that he would think so.

"Yes, what you said is very important. This is what we rely on the most. It's just that they will expand the army to more than 500 million people at once. They will definitely resist. Besides, so many troops are also a burden for us. , Your salary is not low. If a soldier averages 70 taels of silver per year, this year can be hundreds of billions of silver. At the beginning, I said not to give soldiers so high silver, even higher than the three empires. The Eastern Empire is twice as high, and they are here now for the money.” Boss Cui felt that the silver given by Li Cong was a pain. There is not such a high salary in the regular army. This salary is higher than others. There are too many. Wouldn't it be impossible for people to give less money?

"Haha. We need to take a long-term view. For the time being, 500 million troops are a lot. But in the future, we will have more things to do in the future, such as laying down the entire Eastern Empire, or establishing another What about an empire of China? What kind of army is this. If we can’t go on like this, these armies are indeed redundant, but if we go down step by step, these armies are just the beginning, not what they are. , The salary is not much, and we are not without money now. Aren’t we doing well in several of our businesses? Of course we spend hundreds of billions of silver each year. Being able to fight is one aspect. Is it better for them to give more money? This is definitely a direct ratio. You have to admit it." Li Cong is too lazy to talk about these things to his elder brother. The rich life over the years has long allowed this The guy didn't have the aggressiveness of the previous time, and now he was thinking about how to live comfortably. As for the other things, it didn't grow in this guy's mind.

"Establish a fifth empire? My god, brother-in-law, I knew you were not an ordinary person before, but now I feel how big the gap between me and you is. I thought you just let the three empires give you one What kind of title? I didn’t expect you to set up your own empire. You want to bring down the Eastern Empire? What are you kidding me? You need to bring down the Eastern Empire. All the spies we sent to the Eastern Empire will come back. Now, their power on land exceeds that of any of the other three empires. We are not very clear about their power on the sea, but they must definitely catch up with the forces on land, plus the power of Thunder Gate. Help, it can be said that the Eastern Empire itself can be worthy of two and a half northern empires. If you want to defeat this empire, how is it possible? Besides, is it that simple for you to acquire the territory of an empire? But with hundreds of billions of people, how long will it take us to finish the fight? Even if we rely on walking, it will take decades." Boss Cui said in surprise, Li Cong would surprise himself every time. , But it seems that it’s time to give the most this time, and I can’t bear it anymore. How dare I say anything in my mind?

"This is not impossible. As far as I know, the history of the major empires is also unstable. At that time, it was a matter of course for them to build the empire. Isn't it the same thing for me to build the empire now? If you are not happy, I will build this empire in the future. You don’t need anything. How about you still be your rich man in the Northern Empire?” Li Cong said with a smile. This eldest brother is definitely an expert. Vanity person, he doesn't want it?That's strange.

"What? What? How can this be possible. If there is really a fifth empire, I am the absolute uncle of the country, haha, I have seen the scenery of the uncle of the country in the capital, good fellow. When the time comes Most people see that I have to salute me, but they can’t be bought with money. Everyone has to tell me, "Uncle Cui Guo, haha, this title is very comfortable for me, Cui Uncle Guo..." This guy said just now that Li could never succeed.At this moment, he was fooled by the three words of Uncle Guo, and Li Cong could only shake his head and ignore this guy.Go ahead and dream about it.

Li walked out of the airship by himself and looked at the land and people below. It has been a long time since I have been here. All aspects can be said to be progressing rapidly. The feeling that Li from his bones has come again, he must now Do things well, and I will start to extend my devil's claws to this planet again. This is also an inevitable thing. I can do as much power as I have.The current Li Cong has to do what he can bear, that is to take advantage of this opportunity to lay down a piece of territory in the Eastern Empire, and then create the Fifth Empire, but in this way, his business in the other empires will be affected. They will not allow themselves to expand, and they can only withdraw honestly.

But Li Cong understands the truth that fish and bear's paw cannot have both.I’m going to build an empire. At this time, I’m building on the opposite of others. How can I be nice to you? Friends at this time are their enemies at that time. This is entirely possible. Thinking of Zheng Friends like the prince will also become their own enemies.Li Cong's heart is really a bit unbearable, but this thing is not something that can be achieved recently, it will take a long time.

Just when Li Cong was about to form an alliance with the three empires, the people of the Eastern Empire were not idle. They already knew about the frontline affairs. Linghu Pinqiu also got a Li Cong from the frontline. The serial crossbows, the military experts of the Eastern Empire started their work one by one.They all want to see if they have the ability to make such things. If they can, their combat effectiveness will be the same as that of Li Cong's army, but hundreds of military experts are studying this thing. After a long time, these wooden things were fine, but they couldn’t make the spiral-shaped thing that was launched. They basically used any method. The productivity of the Eastern Empire was even higher than that of the Northern Empire. Quite a few, but they couldn't do anything about it. I really don't know how Li Cong's people produced this thing. Could it be that the technology of the Northern Empire surpassed them?

But because we can’t develop this thing, it doesn’t mean we can’t do anything. The best thing Linghu Pinqiu, an old fox would do is to study his opponent before the start of the war. Basically, the frontline military situation map is drawn. Now, the most important thing for him is to quickly open up the passage to the frozen forest. In fact, he told the court at the beginning, and let the Thunder Gate retreat when the blockade was not completed at that time. This is what it is now, but at that time people in the empire didn’t take Cao’s firm into their eyes at all. No one believed their words. For many years, no one could block the frozen forest. This kid did it. ?No one believed it, but the final result was that people really sealed it off. The blockade was still very tight, and no one could come out. At this time, the empire thought of Lao Tzu again, and Lao Tzu had to come to fight for you again. Now, the old man thought that this was also a scolding of the empire's high-level officials, but although he was unhappy, there was too much involved in the Thunder Gate, and he had to give this bone down.

The frontline has already lost millions of troops. At the beginning, this old guy wanted to retreat all the troops to the gate. In fact, the disease did not want to preserve his strength, but the main reason was that he wanted to make them all dead. If they don’t move, the kid Tuoba Yuanye will definitely beat them all back. It is estimated that the boy Tuoba Yuanye can call old foxes like Fox Pinqiu, and calling them back is not to keep them. It is to let them die a little bit, to get useful information for themselves. The fate of these thousands of people is like this. The sorrow is still very sad, but it has also established a lot of good things for the future army. They They are all dead and valuable. For example, these iron wires are already simulated here, and they can use some other thorns instead of them.

"General, this is the tank we have developed. If there is such a tank on the frontline battlefield, this thing can make those thorns have no effect, but the speed of this thing is a bit slow. "A general pointed to a huge, ten-meter-tall guy. This thing looks so majestic. Even Li Cong was shocked when he saw it. I really don’t know what this thing is. It's really amazing.

Below this thing are four huge wooden wheels, about ten meters high. The front is an iron plate. It can be opened or closed. When it is closed, it can withstand Li Cong's serial crossbow. When it comes to the front of the enemy The iron plate is naturally opened, and the height is similar to that of Li Cong’s artillery. The driving force used is that the people under the car are walking and pushing. The piece sticking out in front is to cut all the iron wires and so on. , The people behind can pass.

"How much does this thing cost?" Linghu Pinqiu didn't look at the actual performance of this thing, but first asked how the cost was. Such a huge thing is made of good wood, plus some thick iron chains. Yes, it will definitely not be less. If this is a high cost, this thing cannot be equipped on a large scale. Then what is the use of the design?

"If you go back to the general, the cost of this thing is currently high. Each one costs more than one million silver. The main thing is that the iron plate in front must be thick, and the wood must be the best. The production can be reduced to about 700,000 silver." When it comes to the cost, these generals are also very distressed. This thing can hold up to two hundred soldiers. Not counting the push below, there can only be 10 people. In frontal combat, it can be said that one person costs thousands of dollars. This is indeed not a money-saving thing.(To be continued.
