After hearing Qin Zhao's words, everyone looked at me, looked at you, looked at each other.

When everyone was about to be in trouble, they were thinking about how to escape, but Qin Zhao said such a big talk? What kind of wealth does Qin Zhao want to give to everyone?

Zhao Liangce said in a muffled voice: "Qin Zhao, don't use big words to scare me. At this moment, don't talk about wealth and honor. As long as I can survive, I will be grateful. You are still using wealth and honor to deceive us? Just say it straight? Do you have a way to borrow money?"

Qin Zhao looked at the five people standing in his main hall. Seeing that they were still rational and had no hope at this time, they understood that they were the only reliable people in the village.

He called everyone into the main hall and closed the door.

Lowering his voice, Qin Zhao said, "There are a lot of silver on the Thieves Mountain, why do I need to borrow it?"

Zhao Liangce cursed: "Isn't this a lie? Thieves have money, but they have swords, guns, and iron armor. They want us to give money!"

Qin Zhao nodded and said, "Everyone is from the village, and I, Qin Zhao, can trust you."

Logically speaking, everyone in this room is worthy of trust. Because the thief wants to kill all Qinjia Village, and the people here are all blood-related with the people in Qinjia Village. If anyone here sues the thief and tells the thief's plan, then this person will be a very marginal figure that the thief is always on guard against and has no future. However, Qin Zhao is very sure of dealing with the thief. If these people are rational and do not reveal Qin Zhao's methods, they will be able to make a fortune with Qin Zhao in the future.

So Qin Zhao boldly told his plan: "If we talk straight to the point, we will kill the thieves, and we don't need to give the thieves money, and their money is all ours!"

When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale. They understood what Qin Zhao wanted to do, but they didn't know what Qin Zhao was going to do.

Qin Zhao opened the drawer, took out the pen and ink from the drawer, poured ink into the inkstone in front of everyone, and began to draw what he wanted to make for these people.

Zhao Liangce touched his face and said, "Brother Zhao, I'm illiterate."

After Zhao Liangce said this, his face couldn't help but look awkward. After all, scholars are very high these days. They can write letters and communicate efficiently with the outside world after they are literate. Even scholars without fame have a much higher social status than ordinary farmers.

Qin Zhao's ability to read and write was very remarkable in the eyes of Zhao Liangce.

The other people were also a little embarrassed, but there was a little more trust in their eyes when they looked at Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao said calmly: "I don't write, I draw what I want to make for you?"

Qin Zhao picked up the brush, drew a large box on the paper, and pointed countless dots inside.

In fact, Qin Zhao drew an enlarged version of the later generations of grenades.

Qin Ning came up and asked, "Qin Zhao, what is this?"

Qin Zhao said: "This is a thick iron box, the lid is stuck with threads. Gunpowder and broken iron pieces are hidden in the iron box. Once the iron box is lit, an extremely violent explosion will occur. As long as the iron box is placed in the place where the thieves gather, I guarantee that none of the thieves can escape."

Hearing Qin Zhao's words, everyone opened their eyes like eggs, looking at the pictures drawn by Qin Zhao.

In fact, black gunpowder is also very powerful. From the 16th to the 19th century, human thermal weapons have always used black gunpowder. Some of the cannons in this era can use the power of black gunpowder to collapse the city walls.

According to the "Nanluo of Ming Ji", when Shi Kefa was guarding Yangzhou, the city wall was collapsed by the Qing Dynasty with cannons, which led to the tragedy of Yangzhou for ten days.

In 2009, a truck loaded with 8 tons of black gunpowder exploded in the Xiaogan section of the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway. It was a natural explosion without a closed object. A small tree 50 meters away was uprooted by shock waves, smashing all the glass of the village more than 600 meters away, and the houses were damaged on a large scale. A large pit with a diameter of 8 meters and a depth of about 0.7 meters was blown out on the scene. The vibration caused by the explosion even felt trembling in Wuhan.

Qin Zhao used fifty kilograms of black gunpowder to make a giant grenade in later generations. Through the shell, the shell restricts the gunpowder and expands the shock wave during the explosion several times. Its power is much greater than that of gunpowder naturally detonating. There is no problem in blowing up things within a large room.

Zhao Liangce had a little knotted with his mouth and said nervously: "This...this is too fierce."

The old accountant Qin Youli asked: "Brother Zhao, these thieves don't get together on weekdays, so we can't blow them up! Should we blow them up when they come to attack the village?"

Qin Zhao looked at the old accountant and said, "If I remember correctly, February 21, 18 days later, was the birthday of the thief leader "A Tiger". Last February 21, I went with the old patriarch to celebrate a tiger's birthday. At that time, I saw forty or fifty thieves gathered in their "Juyitang" to drink, leaving only a dozen people to defend at the mountain village gate."

"On the thief's birthday a few days ago, we pretended to celebrate their birthdays. When we moved this big box to the mountain, we would definitely blow all the thieves who drank and ate meat to death."

"We villagers are not afraid of a dozen thieves left. They just rushed forward and beat them to death."

Hearing Qin Zhao's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Zhao Liangce hesitated and said: "I went to pay my birthday to the thieves last year. I was carrying pigs. I did see fifty thieves gathered in a small main hall to drink and eat meat."

Huang Deneng asked with his hands in his arms, "But you need to light the ignition rope to draw the gunpowder. If you click the ignition rope, the thief will know that you have gunpowder in it."

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "I naturally have a countermeasure. I use flint to trigger the fire, and I don't use a flint rope. At that time, as soon as I press the trigger, the flint rope inside the box will automatically ignite. When we quit the room, this barrel of gunpowder will explode, killing all the thieves who are drinking and seeking pleasure."

Without waiting for others to ask, Qin Zhao began to draw a flintlock point device on the paper. The device consists of iron, flint, buckle spring, gunpowder pool, flint rope and buckle spring.

Before traveling through time, Qin Zhao read many time travel novels. He was once very interested in flintlock rifles and studied the structure and composition of flintlock rifles. He had the skills of an industrial designer and understood the structure of those flintlock rifles at a glance. He had long understood the key to such bolts. At this time, it was a natural result.

Everyone stared at Qin Zhao's paintings with wide eyes, showing unbelievable expressions.

"Is this flint? This is a spring? It seems that there is some truth in this painting. When the flint hits the iron sheet, it will naturally spark and ignite the gunpowder, and then burn the fuse."

Zhao Liangce hugged his chest and said, "It's hard to buy gunpowder."

Qin Zhao said disdainfully: "It's up to man! Those maritime merchants in Tongfan sell everything, what's the point of selling some gunpowder? As long as I go to Guangzhou to find the Tongfan ship, I will naturally buy gunpowder."

Qin Ning interrupted and said, "That's right, last year the villagers in Tongliangfang wanted to open iron ore to sell to Foshan, so they went to Tongfan to buy gunpowder and explode the mountain. We can ask which sea merchant they bought gunpowder with."

After the sea ban was opened during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that those who went to sea trade must obtain the approval of the Coast Defense Tongzhi, receive the "invoice" issued by the government to trade in designated areas, and return to the port within the prescribed time limit. There are certain restrictions on countries and regions to go to trade, and Japan is among the prohibited trade. In addition, it is under the consideration of military technology and civilian technology protection, and there are also restrictions on the types of imported and exported goods.

In order to limit the scale of trade in the foreign countries, the imperial court issued very few tickets.

However, there are policies and countermeasures at the top. Since the court has only a few regulations and does not strictly control it, maritime merchants have banned the sea in large numbers. Japan is the favorite place for these banned maritime merchants to go to sea.

As for the prohibited goods issued by the imperial court, these banned maritime merchants were too lazy to care about. By the 17th year of Chongzhen, the maritime merchants had already sold everything. A large number of officially prohibited slave trade were prevalent in Guangdong and Fujian.
