Chapter 411 This is the God of Wealth
"Mom, do you think we should add some iron sheets inside the cotton armor?" Xiao Jiuyue tried the cotton armor several times. It could still withstand ordinary swords and spears, but if it came on the battlefield with real swords and guns, he could only withstand a few more blows at most!
The protection is still not enough!
"Add iron sheets?" Su listened to Xiao Jiuyue's words. She put down the cotton armor in her hand, looked at Xiao Jiuyue, and said hesitantly, "Yuer."
"Don't worry, mother. It has absolutely nothing to do with father and the others. They are safe in Lingnan. The conditions are a little difficult, but they are definitely well fed and clothed." Xiao Jiuyue said with certainty, "Mother, I want to donate these cotton armors to the court."
There are still many variables in the re-investigation of the Xiao family's case, so she must make these variables smaller!
She had to increase the Xiao family's weight in the court's eyes!
Su looked deeply at her daughter. She had loved reading all kinds of books since she was a child. She said, "Add iron sheets, a thin layer at a time. This way, the cotton armor won't be too thick, but will still provide more protection!"
"Rivets can tie the iron sheets together." Su began to rearrange the cotton armor again.
Iron sheets are hard to buy.
But the Xiao family is rich, so buying a little bit is not a problem.
Su said, "Let's try it now. How big and thick should the iron sheet be?"
Su was willing to study hard. After taking care of the chores in the mansion every day, she handed over the affairs of Zhiyun Tower to the second and third houses, and she concentrated on studying cotton armor with Xiao Jiuyue.
In mid-October, the only satisfactory piece of cotton armor was produced. It protected the important parts without affecting the performance of the soldiers!
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the cotton armor that satisfied him, and immediately copied two identical ones, then started writing a letter at his desk!
A letter was sent to Lingnan, along with a newly made cotton armor.
One letter was sent to Rong Xun, and then presented to the court through Rong Xun's hands.
Anyway, who doesn't know that Rong Xun's master is Xiao Fu?
Xiao Jiuyue touched the remaining piece of cotton armor and murmured, "If only there were more iron pieces!"
Aishan's 10,000 kilograms of cotton will arrive soon. We can make a lot of cotton armor, but the iron pieces are hard to find!
Dong Gui hesitated to speak, but Xiao Jiuyue noticed it keenly. She said, "Dong Gui, do you think the Third Prince has any iron pieces?"
"Miss, His Highness is a prince, so there should be one..." Donggui didn't dare to say it for sure.
Xiao Jiuyue immediately asked her to ask. Dong Gui shook her head and said, "Miss, you have to write the letter. Otherwise, what if His Highness thinks it's an imposter?"
Donggui smiled and thought: The master is thinking about the eldest lady. He will definitely be happy if he receives a letter from the eldest lady.
How blind must she be to write a letter for the eldest lady?
Xiao Jiuyue didn't think much about it and started writing the letter. She asked directly about the iron piece and the progress of the reinvestigation of the Xiao family case.
"Miss, the cotton armor with iron plates is indeed very good and can keep you warm. However, the places without the iron plates are still quite..." Dong Gui said tactfully, "Isn't the iron plate thick enough?"
"Donggui, tell me, why would Yongzhao, a small country, dare to attack South Vietnam?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Donggui with a smile.
Dong Gui paused and said, "Of course it's because of the bird gun. That thing is more powerful than arrows!"
"Our cotton armor is designed to protect against bird guns." Xiao Jiuyue touched the newly made cotton armor. She only thought of the cotton armor when she was chatting with Rong Xun.
Many people from Jincheng, many of whom are wealthy, have come to Hongdu, and even quite a few have come from Lancang County.
Rong Xun said: Yongzhao had been preparing for action for many years, and the bird guns were used against the enemy, catching the South Vietnam off guard.
Xiao Jiuyue immediately thought of the cotton armor. Before the fight between Yongzhao and him started, he should make the cotton armor first, just in case it comes in handy!
"Bird gun?" Dong Gui looked at the cotton armor in her hand and said eagerly, "Miss, how about giving it a try?"
try?
She didn't have a musket.
Xiao Jiuyue's eyes lit up instantly, staring at Dong Gui and asking, "Do you know where the bird gun is?"
Half an hour later.
Xiao Jiuyue followed Donggui over a mountain, so isn’t that the front?
"Miss, there are His Highness's men ahead as well. Over here, there are bird guns." Dong Gui whispered, "The one in charge is Blood Blade!"
"Donggui, just tell me this, are you really not afraid of being punished by the Third Prince?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Donggui who brought her here so openly, and she was worried about Donggui.
This is obviously Jun Lie’s most important thing. How could she know this?
He won’t be murdered to silence him, right?
"Miss, actually, the Third Prince has already said that there is no need to be on guard against you." Dong Gui pursed her lips. She should have brought the young lady here a long time ago, but the young lady never agreed.
If it weren't for the bird gun incident this time, I'm afraid the eldest lady wouldn't have come here at all.
"Donggui, this is Miss Xiao?" Xue Ren was just like his name, with a coldness all over his body. The look in his eyes when he stared at Xiao Jiuyue was chilling to the bone.
Xiao Jiuyue stood there calmly, but in fact, she was panicking. She felt that this Blood Blade must be a ruthless character.
Xue Ren looked at Xiao Jiuyue and saluted directly: "Miss Xiao."
"Hello." Xiao Jiuyue didn't expect that Xue Ren recognized her at once. Xiao Jiuyue didn't say much and went straight to the point, telling her that the cotton armor could protect against muskets.
A flash of shock flashed across Xue Ren's eyes, and then he said, "Try it!"
Xue Ren went into the house to get the bird gun. Xiao Jiuyue asked quietly, "How did she know I was Miss Xiao?"
"Miss, I will protect you. Now I have brought you here. There is no one else here except Miss Xiao." Dong Gui said affirmatively.
Besides, the story of Miss Xiao had spread throughout the Anbu. Everyone knew that the master had someone dear to his heart. This Miss Xiao was not only able to hold the master in her arms when he was ill, but also to suppress his illness...
Not to mention Miss Xiao's salt well. The salt there is finer and better than the official salt. The money she makes is huge. The weapons and equipment of the people in the Anbu are better than before.
This is the God of Wealth.
Everyone in the Anbu is curious about this Miss Xiao!
Of course, Dong Gui naturally didn't dare to say these words to Miss Xiao. Dong Gui said, "Miss, Xue Ren is just a little cold-tempered, but he's actually a good person."
"Miss Xiao, the bird gun is here." Xue Ren came out with the bird gun. The long bird gun stunned Xiao Jiuyue!
This is completely different from the gun she imagined!
"Miss Xiao, the bird gun is very powerful. Stand further away." As soon as Xue Ren said this, Xiao Jiuyue knew he had misunderstood. She didn't explain, she just said, "Put this cotton armor on the scarecrow and shoot at its body!"
Xiao Jiuyue directly gave the cotton armor to Xue Ren.
Dong Gui, who was standing by, was already excitedly trying to touch the bird gun. Xue Ren said, "The bird gun is very dangerous."
"I can do it, not that I don't know how to do it?" Dong Gui glanced at him. She touched the bird gun carefully. People in the Anbu knew these things. Dong Gui had used them before. She said, "Miss, this will go off soon. My hands are numb from the vibration!"
