I'm the villain in the book

Page 341

As if he was completing some task, Wei Changtian began to take off his clothes after speaking.

He didn't care about Lu Jingyao's dazed eyes, he took off his body until only his underwear was left on his body, and then he got into the quilt and closed his eyes to "sleep".

And as he stopped moving, the room fell into silence.

It wasn't until about a few tens of breaths later that there were bursts of subtle movements that sounded softly.

Although he didn't open his eyes to look, Wei Changtian could roughly hear what Lu Jingyao was doing.

It should be to tidy up the clothes he just threw aside, and then ran to the cabinet to find something.

And then... started to undress herself.

It can be heard that Lu Jingyao took off her clothes very "strugglingly", and it took a long time on and off to complete the work.

And as the warm yellow candlelight was extinguished one by one, and the quilt was slowly lifted and covered, everything finally returned to calm.

Except for the faint sound of rapid breathing echoing in the air.

"..."

If one judges only from the two aspects of appearance and figure, Lu Jingyao should be second only to Yang Liushi.

Even counting the "androgynous" Qingxian, she can still be ranked third among all the women Wei Changtian has met so far.

Such a beautiful woman is now lying less than ten centimeters away from her, and she is obviously ready to "dedicate herself".

But Wei Changtian didn't intend to move at all, even to say a word.

Because he is now thinking...how to deal with Ning Yongnian!

......

As incredible as it is, this is no joke.

Since he was inspired by the "economic war" just now, Wei Changtian is really thinking about whether he still has any "modern" means to use.

Like hot weapons?

In fact, Wei Changtian had this idea long ago, but he never thought about it.

First of all, because he really didn't know the complete design of guns and guns, he only knew the simple principle of firing gunpowder by igniting gunpowder.

Of course, these can be handed over to others for trial and error, and the problem is not big.

But the point is that hot weapons are not very powerful in the cultivation world.

The power of one cannonball is estimated to be equivalent to a full blow of a third-rank warrior.

And the power of a bullet is not even comparable to a blow from a warrior of the third rank.

Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a thankless effort to develop thermal weapons...unless the level of cruise missiles can be produced.

Otherwise, a hot weapon is not as good as a good cold weapon for the improvement of a warrior.

Ok?

If warriors can't do it, they can be equipped for civilians!

Wei Changtian suddenly had an idea.

If you can create firearms like "pistols" and "automatic rifles", and then use them to arm a civilian army... Although the combat effectiveness may not be as good as a normal military army, at least it will not be any People slaughtered!

Makes sense!

The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more excited he became, so just now he didn't even notice when Lu Jingyao was lying beside him.

And just when he was thinking about "handjob", a trembling voice suddenly rang softly in his ears.

"Msg, Mrs...."

"Ok?"

Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, and temporarily gave up thinking about his great idea of ​​"all people are soldiers".

"what happened?"

"You, aren't you asleep?"

"Nonsense, how can I talk to you when I'm asleep."

"Then...then I want to talk to you, can I?"

"..."

If there is anything to say, it will delay my thinking about major issues.

Wei Changtian murmured in his heart, subconsciously wanting to refuse.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that Lu Jingyao's tone seemed strange.

Slowly opening his eyes, he turned his head and looked around.

In the darkness, a few strands of smooth long hair hung down the corners of the lightly clenched mouth, and then outlined the delicate collarbone downwards.

Lu Jingyao just curled up in the quilt and stared at herself, with a happy expression on her face, but there were tears running down her cheeks.

Chapter 393 Two months

Five days later, the sixth day of September.

Six days have passed since Ning Yuke proclaimed herself king, and a series of waves caused by this incident in Daning have gradually emerged.

The three censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were beheaded by Hua Lingwei for the crime of "deceiving the emperor", and they also "chopped" off the memorials that many court officials were about to submit. Wei Changtian participated in the conspiracy".

Han Zhao has arrived in Yuanzhou with the Tiger Talisman of the Ministry of War. The 30 army will start preparing ordnance today, and it is expected to turn around and go south after ten days, heading straight to Shuzhou to fight against the rebels.

The 40 Daning army in Dafeng continued to march towards Fengyuan City after a three-day rest, and made it clear that they would not suspend their offensive because of the Shuzhou Rebellion. revenge".

The news that Ning Yuke will build a new city a thousand miles south of Shuzhou City has spread all over the world. No one knows what the King of Shu is going to do, but under the temptation of "high salaries", many craftsmen are ready to go. Go to Shuzhou to build a city...

In just five days, one incident after another that was enough to shock the government and the public occurred one after another, making the people of Daning even a little numb to these "news".

People will no longer gather in street teahouses to discuss with such excitement as they usually do, and they no longer care too much about the far-reaching impact these things will have.

For the tens of millions of ordinary people who work from day to day and rest from day to day, their intuitive experience of the world basically comes from the daily price changes.

Clearly, this doesn't look rosy.

Salt, iron, cloth, grain... the prices of almost all the necessities of life have risen to varying degrees compared with this time last year.

Among them, food prices have increased the most, and now they have doubled.

From the previous "Fifteen Dou Mi Wen" to the current "Thirty Dou Mi Wen".

The price of "three coins for stone and rice" is naturally nothing to high-ranking officials and nobles, but it is already a heavy burden for most common people.

After all, food is eaten every day, so it is not an expense that can be saved.

Under such circumstances, rumors such as "the price of food in Shuzhou is cheap" and "you can get land and money if you move to Shuzhou" naturally have room to survive.

But even if the rumors say that there are noses and eyes, few people will really drag their families to Shuzhou.

The reason for this is not difficult to understand.

First, most people are unwilling to leave their hometowns unless they can no longer survive.

Second, no matter how good Shuzhou is now, it will fall into war sooner or later, and no one knows what will happen to the world.

Third, there is still more than a month before the autumn harvest.

With these three ideas in mind, people in all parts of Daning choose to stick to it, believing that the hard times will pass in at most two months.

After all, the imperial army should have already entered Fengyuan at that time, forcing Li Qi to surrender and seek peace.

And the chaos in Shuzhou should have subsided, and the farce of a woman becoming a king on her own has come to an end.

And the autumn harvest.

Although there are frequent wars this year, the weather is still beautiful, and the harvests should be good everywhere.

At that time, the high food price will definitely come down...

With a bright vision for the future, the people tightened their belts one by one, carefully planning how to use the little money left to get through these two months.

But they probably wouldn't have thought of it anyway.

What happened two months later was so different from what they expected now.

No.

It should be said to be the exact opposite.

......

......

"Da da da!"

"Da da da......"

Outside the city of Shuzhou, Wei Changtian looked at more than a dozen fast horses that were gradually going away, and he took a long time to look away.

This time it was Chu Xianping who was leaving. He was going to a few nearby prefectures to talk to the governors of the prefectures about "borrowing people".

Now that the new city is about to break ground, there are naturally not enough craftsmen in the territory of Shuzhou, and the labor force hired from "high salaries" from all over the country cannot be in place for the time being.

The best solution is to borrow people from the surrounding states and counties.

Of course, everyone understands the importance of population.

So don't say that Shuzhou has rebelled now, even if there is no rebellion, these states and counties will certainly not easily agree to this matter.

And Wei Changtian still used the same old method for this——

Carrots and sticks.

I have plenty of silver, and I have plenty of knives.

It's just a matter of pointing people out. If you save face, you'll get a lot of money.

If you don't give face, then I don't mind moving your head before the imperial army arrives.

Of course, this is just a general negotiation idea, and the specifics must not be so straightforward.

But since it was Chu Xianping who took care of the matter in person, the problem probably wouldn't be too big.

"..."

"Let's go."

The sound of horseshoes in the distance has gradually disappeared, Wei Changtian turned to look at Xu Qingwan:

"Send you back to Yingfengsheng first."

"And then I have to go to the palace."

"Yingfengsheng", this is the name of Comrade Xiao Xu's newly opened food store.

However, this name was not chosen by her, nor by Wei Changtian, but by Wei Yanyu, the "second shareholder" of Liangxing.

At that time, Wei Changtian wanted to find some people to help Xu Qingwan, and then he thought of Wei Yanyu.

And the latter agreed very readily.

Although Kailiangxing actually used the Xu family's money, Wei Yanyu only wanted [-]% of the shares, and Xu Qingwan held the remaining [-]%.

As a result, Comrade Xiao Xu's worth soared from a few thousand taels to nearly ten million taels, and he is very likely to become the major shareholder of the largest grain store in Daning in the future.

Such a transformation is like a little hamster suddenly owning a whole granary, which made Xu Qingwan so excited that she couldn't sleep well for several days.

"it is good."

With a soft promise, Xu Qingwan got into the carriage first, and when she bent down, she revealed the handle of the knife on her waist.

Seeing this scene, Wei Changtian who was behind him felt a little funny in his heart.

Good guy, in the original book, Xu Qingwan is the woman with the highest combat effectiveness. She never expected that her fate would change so much.

It's okay to directly "abandon martial arts and go into business" and become a rich woman!

"Have you practiced recently?"

Also got into the car and sat down, Wei Changtian asked casually: "There is also the Returning Dust Knife, have you not practiced it for a long time?"

"No, I practice every day."
