Chapter 109 Future Planning
Chapter 109 Future Planning
Dragon Ball
The weapons that Lu Cheng customized could not be made in a short time, but Lu Cheng could directly prepare some poisons.
Lu Cheng prepared some knockout drugs, strong poisons, and chronic poisons in case of emergency. For safety reasons, Lu Cheng purchased the raw materials of these poisons from several stores.
As for the medicine for healing, Lu Cheng did not need to buy it.
The twenty kilograms of medicine in the cross-border backpack included various pills, ointments, and powders made by Lu Cheng himself, as well as some Western anti-inflammatory drugs, antipyretics, antibiotics, etc., all of which were separated by thin plastic bags after being removed from the packaging. If some pills were calculated by tael or kilogram, the weight was still considerable.
After purchasing the medicinal herbs and leaving money for buying weapons and equipment, Lu Cheng still had twenty taels of silver in hand.
The gold and jewels in the cross-border backpack do not need to be used for the time being.
In fact, among the 30 kilograms of gold and jewelry, apart from the real gold, there are many fakes or artificial products, such as glass balls, large diamonds that are special to Henan Province, various double-digit or even single-digit jewelry, stainless steel artificial zircon large rings, necklaces, etc.
These fakes may not be valuable in modern times, but in ancient times, they were definitely rare treasures.
The diamond cutting technology used in later generations alone is beyond the reach of this era.
Here, perhaps those fake goods worth a few dollars or tens of dollars are more valuable than the real ones and gold.
In addition to these, there are some small objects, several mechanical watches, several compasses, as well as a world map with mineral distribution maps, a map of China, and so on.
These things were originally prepared specifically to deal with ancient situations, and they will definitely be of great use when they first arrive.
If Lu Cheng wants to develop farming or start the industrial revolution in the future, various mineral resources are indispensable.
It can be said that Lu Cheng was well prepared this time.
Taking out a mechanical watch, Lu Cheng looked at the sun in the sky, but shook his head helplessly. There was no accurate time for him to check.
Fortunately, watches can also be used as a timing tool, for example, to control time well when doing experiments.
While Lu Cheng was staying in the house making various poisons, Lu Wenzhao had already used his connections to present the glass ball to him.
Ordinary people would not dare to keep such a treasure with a dragon inside, so it was soon sent to Emperor Wanli.
Emperor Wanli was naturally delighted to see such rare treasures, and even his depressed mood due to the defeat became much better. It is said that he even used drugs to visit two young palace maids that night and regained some of his youthful confidence.
The next day, the delighted Emperor Wanli dragged his tired body and ordered a generous reward for the person who presented the treasure.
However, when these huge rewards are implemented at the lower levels, they will be exploited by officials at all levels. The gold, silver and jewelry originally rewarded will have been greatly reduced by the time they reach the lower levels.
In Lu Cheng's temporary residence, Lu Wenzhao took out a purse and threw it to Lu Cheng.
"Brother, the treasure has been presented. The emperor is very pleased and is ready to reward us handsomely. I have made some efforts and have successfully become a captain of the Jinyiwei Northern Pacification Division. All this is thanks to you, brother.
Don't worry, brother. I will recommend you to my superiors and make you my deputy. With our joint efforts, we will surely make a name for ourselves in this capital city."
Hearing this, Lu Cheng shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't want to go to Jinyiwei."
The reputation of the Jinyiwei can be described as notorious and infamous.
From the officials in the imperial court to the common people, everyone would go to the Jinyiwei. Among the common people, the Jinyiwei could even stop children from crying at night.
As the court's lackeys, the Jinyiwei had considerable power and were specifically responsible for doing all kinds of dirty work for the court. Confiscating property and exterminating families were common occurrences, and torture and forced confessions were even more common.
The Imperial Guards' prison was a subject of great fear. In the original play, a Jinyiwei under Shen Lian said a few extra words, which were recorded by his colleagues and sent to the prison for interrogation. The Jinyiwei was so scared that he ran away on the spot, and finally chose to commit suicide rather than be sent to the prison.
During the time since he came to this world, Lu Cheng has already made his own plans for the future. Since the Ming Dynasty is rotten to the core and the Qing army outside the Great Wall is eyeing it covetously, only by changing the world can he completely control his own destiny.
Moreover, after experiencing two reincarnations, Lu Cheng has a certain understanding of the system's side quests and hidden quests.
If you can change the world, influence more people, or even the fate of the entire world, you may be able to get some extra rewards.
Of course, even if there is no reward, it is nice to experience what it feels like to be an emperor.
Which man doesn't have a dream of becoming an emperor? To hold the power of the world when awake, to lie on the lap of a beauty when drunk, to have all the power in the world in one person, just thinking about it makes my blood boil.
"Brother, this is the Jinyiwei in Kyoto City. He holds great power and has the power to decide life and death. If you don't want this, do you want to die in the army?"
Lu Cheng nodded and said, "Brother, after this great victory, the Jian Nu will surely grow rapidly. The struggle between the Ming Dynasty and the Jian Nu will not stop. I want to make achievements in the army and achieve something."
"This... why are you so depressed? You have seen how powerful the Jiannu are. General Du is brave, isn't he? But our tens of thousands of soldiers were killed by the enemy. Even if you are a good fighter, how many Jiannu can you kill? Listen to your brother's advice and stay in Kyoto. You and I will make a name for ourselves together."
"Brother, the waters of Kyoto are very deep. I am not good at being an official. Staying here will only cause trouble for you."
"It's no trouble at all. You gave me this life. If anything happens in the future, I will naturally stand in front of you."
"Brother, I have made my decision. Please help me find a good job in the army."
"you…"
Seeing that Lu Cheng had made up his mind, Lu Wenzhao was helpless and could only nod his head: "Okay, since you have chosen this path, as your brother, I can only do my best to fight for you. Do you have any other requests? Just say it."
In the original drama, Shen Lian saved Lu Wenzhao, and after Lu Wenzhao became a thousand households, he always took good care of Shen Lian. Even when Shen Lian got into trouble, Lu Wenzhao always tried to help Shen Lian cover it up.
It was only in the end that Shen Lian and Lu Wenzhao stood on opposite sides, and Lu Wenzhao had no choice but to become Shen Lian's enemy.
From all aspects, as long as it does not affect the core interests, Lu Wenzhao is still quite grateful.
Lu Cheng thought for a moment, then said, "Brother, I heard you say before that you are the successor of the Qi Family Sword. I learned all my Kung Fu by myself in the army, it is disorganized and unsystematic. I want to learn the Qi Family Sword, brother..."
"That's easy. You and I are brothers, so it's not convenient for me to accept you as my apprentice. Besides, my sword skills are not as good as my junior sister's. How about this, I will bring my junior sister here tomorrow, introduce you to each other, and let her teach you sword skills. My junior sister's martial arts are better than mine, and she is also good at teaching apprentices."
"In that case, I would like to thank you very much, brother."
"We are all family, so don't mention the word 'thank you' in the future. As for your matter, I will think of a way. The imperial court has suffered heavy losses in troops and is considering reorganizing the army. This is an opportunity. Don't worry, brother. Use this money first, buy a small courtyard in the city, find two servants to serve you, and live a relaxing life for a few days."
As he spoke, Lu Wenzhao took out a hundred taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng did not refuse and accepted it directly.
On the other hand, Shen Lian successfully entered the Jinyiwei and became a general flag.
Although Lu Cheng and Shen Lian are both Lu Wenzhao's saviors, Lu Cheng and Lu Wenzhao are from the same clan. In addition, Lu Cheng also presented a treasure, so the weight of the two in Lu Wenzhao's heart is naturally different.
In the original drama, Lu Wenzhao was still a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard eight years later, and he probably did not become a captain at the beginning.
Now, Lu Wenzhao has directly become a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. In the next eight years, there is still hope for him to be promoted further.
With Lu Wenzhao in the court, Lu Cheng could feel more at ease even when he arrived in the army.
It is easier to be an official if you have someone in the court. This is not just talk.
