Chapter 34

Du Yu sold a piece of Tian Huangshi and earned tens of millions, and the money in his pocket was sufficient again.

However, it is not realistic to sell Tian Huangshi in a short period of time. It is best to wait until the relationship with the Tang family is further improved, and then go to the auction house to test the water after knowing the inside story of the industry.

Du Yu suddenly discovered a more troublesome problem, that is, he was not short of money in the Song Dynasty, as long as he bought some industrial silver feet, he could solve the financial problems of the Water Margin World.

On the contrary, if you want to realize the things of the Song Dynasty in modern time and space, you are at a loss.

Take antiques as an example, the country has promulgated laws and regulations long ago, and only porcelains and cultural objects from the Ming and Qing Dynasties can be auctioned. Otherwise, the only thing waiting for him is "I see punishment".

Of course, Du Yu couldn't get any porcelain that could pass the carbon-14 test. Even if he bought the real one in Song Dynasty, it would only be a fake or a high-quality imitation.

There are many restrictions on buying and selling gold. In fact, jade and jadeite are the most feasible. Unfortunately, the place of production is not yet in the Song Dynasty.

Whenever Du Yu thinks of this, he looks down on the old Zhao's family.

But he had no choice but to face the reality. Instead of counting on the Zhao family father and son, it would be more reliable to rebel and fight back.

So after getting the money, he didn't think about changing a car or buying a house for himself. What he thought about was how to expand his strength in the Water Margin world.

According to the timeline in Water Margin, Song Jiang began to emerge five years after Zhenghe, and gradually gathered a group of younger brothers who were loyal to him.

In other words, Liang Shanbo gradually stepped onto the stage, attracting the attention of Gao Qiu and others, and the attention of the Song court was also on him.

In this case, Du Yu intends to take the opportunity to develop his own power.

It's just that Huazhou is too close to Xijing in the Song Dynasty after all, and there are many regular troops stationed there. If Shaohua Mountain expands wantonly, it will inevitably come into the sight of the court.

It's too early for Du Yu, he doesn't want to be that early bird.

After careful thinking, he came up with a plan, that is to go to Hebei to quietly collect all the hills under Tianhu's banner.

Du Yu didn't know when Tian Hu rebelled against the Song Dynasty, but he thought that the generals recruited by King Jin must not have appeared out of thin air.

There is a high probability that the grass fell on the top of the hills in Weisheng Prefecture, Gaizhou, Zhaode Mansion, Jinyang Mansion, Fenyang Mansion and other places.

Du Yu thought that since he couldn't do anything near Huazhou, why not go to the land of 'Hebei' and replace Tian Hu?
However, it is not easy to conquer those cottages in the Northland, and it is necessary to use weapons.In this way, it is necessary to produce a batch of weapons and equipment to return to the Water Margin world.

Du Yu knew that it was unrealistic to engage in hot weapons such as guns and artillery, so he might as well buy some materials and go back to Shaohua Mountain to make weapons and armor.

Building a weapon requires high-strength steel, which is not difficult to solve.

There are two kinds of steel materials suitable for making knives in modern time and space. One is tool steel, which is characterized by affordable price and balanced performance.

The second is carbon steel. Carbon steel can even be king in terms of strength and hardness. The knives made of it not only have good cutting performance and impact resistance, but are also durable and easy to sharpen. The disadvantage is that it is easy to rust.

But if it is used in the Water Margin world, the disadvantages are not considered disadvantages.

As soon as he thought of it, Du Yu immediately searched for steel companies near Haicheng on the Internet. He didn't want to run around for some materials in principle.

Soon, he found a local company and ordered ten tons of 45 carbon round steel.

What he didn't expect was that they would deliver the goods to his door that day.

Du Yu had no choice but to drive to Yanhe Town and temporarily rent a warehouse to transport the steel into it.

As for how to build a weapon, we can only wait to discuss it with Zhu Wu and others when we return to Shaohua Mountain.After all, he has no ability to let the factory make him a large number of knives and guns without attracting attention.

On the contrary, it was easier in terms of armor. Du Yu didn't plan to equip the people in the cottage with chain mail and plate armor in large quantities.

What he stared at were Ming and Qing paper armors.This kind of simple body armor is made of hard cloth and then covered with paper tendons.

The advantages are low cost and light weight, and it can also be modified into the wadding cloth armor of the front chest Antieye, which has better defense capabilities.

Although it doesn't have the excellent defensive power of plate armor and iron Buddha, it is completely enough for minion soldiers.

So don't look down on paper armor, it is the Song Dynasty. In Song Shenzong's "Xining Bianchi", it was stipulated that if the paper armor was made privately, the five collars would be twisted.

Thinking of this, Du Yu bought five tons of waste paper from the market in Haicheng, preparing to use it to make paper armor. Of course, materials such as tinplate are also indispensable.

He is like a little bee, carrying supplies back and forth in modern time and space and the world of Water Margin.

People like Yang Chun and Jiang Zhao who have seen Du Yu's methods are already used to it, but those like Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Han Bolong who saw Du Yu's method for the first time almost dropped their jaws in shock.

After hearing his explanation, Zhu Wu claimed to have read a lot of Daoist scriptures, but he didn't understand the reason.

However, it is a good thing that the elder brother of the village owner has such means, especially the supplies that he does not know where to move are urgently needed by the cottage.

Under Du Yu's planning, Shaohua Mountain started a vigorous mass production plan.

The first is to build a blast furnace in Houshan according to the iron smelting furnace drawings he downloaded from modern time and space. Of course, they are not for steelmaking, but for melting steel columns into weapons.

The second is to establish a protective gear workshop to make paper armor according to the process.

For this reason, Du Yu specially recruited 300 people from the cottage to do this, and the management authority was handed over to Jiang Zhao, his junior.

Since there is no professional blacksmith in the cottage, a lot of materials were wasted despite the method he provided.

However, with the passage of time, coupled with the effects of popularizing knowledge and developing intelligence, many smart people stand out and become qualified blacksmiths by self-taught.

Du Yu was not idle either, and while the cottage was building weapons, he was going to go to Tian Hu's site to inquire about news, laying a solid foundation for future actions.

After explaining to Zhu Wu and others in Shanzhai, he went back to Shijia Village and stayed with Cui Kuo for a few days.

Only then did Du Yu bring Yang Chun down the mountain, and the two of them didn't bring a single soldier with them.

After going down the mountain, the two did not go straight to Fenyang Mansion, Weisheng Prefecture and other places, but turned to Jiugong County.

Du Yu hadn't seen Master Luo for more than two years, and planned to visit the master, give some gifts and ask some questions about cultivation.

Because the two were going to check out the situation in Hebei Green Forest along the way, the route they took was a bit off.

On this day, they came to a market town, had a drink and chatted in a restaurant at the entrance of the village.

It was only after inquiring with the shop boy that Du Yu found out that he had come to the territory under the jurisdiction of Gaotang Prefecture.

Hearing that the name was a bit familiar, he flipped through the novels of Water Margin, and then remembered that Gaotang Prefecture was the place where the heroes of Liangshanbo and Gao Lian fought.

Thinking that it was also one of the most glorious moments of Gongsun Sheng in the Cloud Dragon, Du Yu couldn't help smiling. Gongsun Sheng worshiped Daoist Luo himself as a teacher, but it's a pity that the two of them have never met so far, and they don't know what the living Dragon in the Cloud looks like .

Shaking his head to clear away his messy thoughts, he and Yang Chun casually chatted about the scenery along the way and then went back to the restaurant to rest.

Du Yu didn't know that he and Yang Chun wore brocade robes and looked like rich people, which had long attracted people's attention.

Back at the restaurant, the two went back to their rooms to rest.

Maybe it was because he ate too much today, Du Yu tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he took out his phone from the system space and passed the time while listening to music and reading novels he had downloaded.

That is to say, he is wearing earphones, otherwise he must scare the guests next to him.

I don't know how long it took, but he finally got a little sleepy. He took off the earphones and threw the phone aside, tilted his head and fell asleep.

After a while, there was a slight sound of breathing, apparently in a deep sleep.

Du Yu didn't know that there was a gentleman on Liang in the house where he lived, and the flowers were about to thank.

But I saw that man: his bones are soft and his body is healthy, his eyebrows are thick and his eyes are bright.Described as a strange family, walking like a flying fairy.The silence of the night passes through the wall and hangs deeper around the house.Stealing camp masters, the drums are fleas.

It is the local thief Xingdrum in the Water Margin.

Du Yu only thought of the mage confrontation between Gao Lian and Gongsun Sheng, but forgot that there was another 'hero' from Gaotang Prefecture.

During the daytime, Shi Qian saw the two of them dressed gorgeously and riding tall horses. What's more expensive in restaurants, drinking and eating meat were obviously rich people.

Seeing such a fat sheep, he naturally wanted to borrow some money to spend.
