If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Fu Ying turned his head and saw Qin Shu, who was looking at him with a smile with her hands behind her back.

That smug little expression with his chin tilted up and a pair of bright eyes blinking.

Where is the demeanor of a great general who was so calm and commanding just now?

She is clearly a naughty and cute little girl.

Fu Rong couldn't help laughing.

The soldiers put him down and surrounded him and Qin Shu as they walked down the city wall.

Outside the crowd, next to the corner, a slender, fair-skinned soldier looked at the tall, young and handsome Fu Ying with shining eyes and full of admiration.

Not knowing what he was thinking about, the soldier bit his lip and his face turned red.

The Northern Barbarians have a powerful military force that has been hanging over the heads of the Southern Zhou people like a dark cloud for many years.

Before the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the army of the previous dynasty was defeated in every battle with the northern barbarians.

The previous dynasty had always used the method of marrying princesses to maintain peace between the two countries.

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, several major wars broke out between the two countries.

Since Zhou Min garrisoned the northern border, he fought several wars with the Northern Barbarians. Although he had his share of victories and defeats, it was also a waste of money and manpower, and almost emptied the already weak Zhou treasury.

If King Ning had not been so poor, he would not have secretly ordered people to attack Qin Jingyuan and kill him and rob him of his money.

This is the first time we have won such a satisfying victory as today.

The other side suffered countless casualties, but our side suffered no casualties.

After returning to the general's residence, General Shen ordered the chief historian to write a battle report immediately and send it to Kyoto at an express speed of 800 miles.

The food and pork that Qin Shu brought with her were not yet cooked, but the war was already over.

General Shen's face was flushed with excitement, and he warmly welcomed Qin Shu and Fu Ying into his banquet room.

After the two sides pushed and shoved for a long time, General Shen sat in the main seat, Qin Shu sat in the second seat, and Fu Ying sat on Qin Shu's right.

The rest of the soldiers took their seats in order of rank.

General Shen smiled and said to Fu Ying, "I have long heard that the head of the Fu family is a leader in mechanical engineering. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed dignified and extraordinary."

"Was it a gunpowder bomb that Master Fu threw earlier?"

In fact, people have been studying the production of this kind of gunpowder bomb.

Gunpowder bombs are easy to make, but the problem of fuse has never been solved.

In the past, gunpowder bombs needed to have the fuse ignited before being thrown.

Sometimes the burning speed of the gunpowder fuse and the throwing speed are not well coordinated, and it will either explode on the catapult, or the fuse will simply extinguish the fire halfway after being thrown out.

The gunpowder shell became a dud.

Over time, few people mentioned gunpowder bombs.

Most gunpowder is also used to make fireworks, firecrackers and other items to liven up the festive atmosphere and for viewing.

Unexpectedly, this problem was solved by the young head of the Fu family!

Fu Rong nodded reservedly, "It's a gunpowder bullet. Iron sheets are added inside to expand the damage range of the gunpowder bullet."

General Shen rubbed his hands in anticipation, "If this kind of gunpowder bomb can be mass-produced, then our Zhou Kingdom will have nothing to fear from the Northern Barbarians! Even if we fight all the way to Qianling Mountain, it won't be a problem."

Qianling Mountain is the northernmost mountain range of Beiyi.

It was regarded by the Northern Yi as a barrier to the Northern Yi Kingdom.

Fu Rong chuckled and didn't respond.

Because Qin Shu had mentioned this matter to him before.

Once this type of hot weapon begins to arm the military on a large scale, this world of the survival of the fittest and plunder will never have peace!

When General Shen saw this, he secretly glanced at Qin Shu and realized that the head of the Fu family might not have the final say in this matter.

After all, this is someone else's thing.

It is indeed inappropriate to ask for it so blatantly.

Even if he wants to, it has to be the emperor who makes the request.

General Shen stopped dwelling on this issue and turned the topic to the reclamation of wasteland and farming and the training of mobile soldiers in Linbei Road.

"Since Qin Jiezhen came, Linbei Road has changed completely in just a few months."

"Today, Linbei Road is full of vitality, with a clean and upright atmosphere, upright officials and harmonious people. This is all thanks to Qinjie Town."

Qin Shu quickly said modestly, "General, you are too kind. If it weren't for you, the old general, guarding the border and protecting the people, how could Qin Shu have the room to display her talents?"

General Shen waved his hand and said, "Hey, Qin Jiezhen, please don't be modest. Jiezhen is as capable as any man. In terms of intelligence, talent, and courage, I am ashamed of myself. In the future, I hope that Jiezhen will give me more guidance."

When Qin Shu first came to Beidao, he really didn't take Qin Shu seriously.

What he said today is indeed what General Shen really thinks from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Shu smiled and said, "In today's battle, if the old general hadn't led the army to embolden Qin Shu, I'm afraid that Qin Shu's little tricks would not be able to stop the attack of the hundreds of thousands of Beiyi troops."

This is true.

No matter how powerful the ammunition is, it is impossible to kill all the soldiers of hundreds of thousands.

The main reason why the Northern Barbarians retreated was that they were afraid of the hundreds of thousands of Northern Pass soldiers behind the heavy firepower.

General Shen asked again, "Now that the Northern Barbarians are about to be defeated, what do you think Qin Jiezhen should do next?"

Qin Shu groaned and said, "Wait."

General Shen stroked his beard and nodded slightly, "Yes. The Northern Barbarians' army was intimidated by the gunpowder bombs of the Fu family master. I'm afraid they won't start a second war for a while."

"With what Jiezhen said before, the King of Beiyi might consider sending people to negotiate with my Zhou Kingdom."

After all, in the eyes of the ruler of Beiyi, the Zhou Kingdom had those powerful new weapons, and the gap in power between the two countries suddenly underwent a drastic change.

At this time, the best strategy is to make peace with the State of Zhou to prevent it from taking the opportunity to invade and plunder the territory of the Northern Yi.

As they were talking, several soldiers came in one after another, each carrying a tray.

Place the fragrant dishes on the tray on the table in front of everyone.

Fu Ying lowered his head and was about to pick up the pot to pour wine.

Suddenly a white and delicate hand reached out and took the wine jug away before he could.

Fu Ying looked up in surprise, and his eyes met a pair of bright black eyes.

He was slightly startled to see that this "little soldier" had delicate features, skin as white as jade, a small nose, and seemed to have lip balm on his lips.

Seeing Fu Ying looking at him, the "little soldier" blushed slightly, smiled, and a pair of deep dimples immediately appeared on his cheeks.

It's actually a woman?

Fu Ying frowned slightly and looked away calmly.

Seeing that he was deliberately ignoring her, the woman's smile deepened.

She raised her hand to push up the helmet that had slid down from her eyebrows, lowered her head, followed the others, and retreated.

Before leaving, the woman made a face at the second man from the lower left and stuck out her tongue.

The second seat from the lower left is General Shen’s second son, Shen Yi.

Only then did Shen Yi realize that the skinny, small and odd-looking soldier was actually his daughter, and he choked on the wine in his throat.

He opened his eyes wide, and held it in for a long time before finally swallowing the wine that was stuck in his throat.

This girl is becoming more and more daring.

When did she come?

Why are you still dressed like this?

Just now...

Shen Yi looked up at Fu Ying who was sitting opposite him, and his heart moved slightly: the head of the Fu family is young and promising, and has never been married.

Rumor has it that he was the Jiedushi's concubine.

How could the head of a prestigious aristocratic family be willing to be the concubine of a little girl?

If my daughter could win his favor and successfully win him over.

Then, can the Shen family get a share of those gunpowder bombs and these powerful weapons?
