Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 116 A Reward of Ten Thousand Taels of Silver
"Wow, silver, it's real silver, probably 1 taels."

"It's true..."

The platoon leader immediately answered everyone's doubts. He pointed to two boxes of silver and said, "Everyone, look carefully. These two boxes are worth 1 taels of silver."

"If anyone opens the two hemispheres as said, the 1 taels of silver can be taken away on the spot."

"Hiss...really, really, really, really give 1 taels of silver." Some people began to push forward, but some government servants immediately stood up to maintain order.

"Everyone, don't crowd, don't rob. Our adults said that no matter how many people there are today, as long as they pull away, he can afford it. As long as everyone is willing, I guarantee that everyone will have the opportunity to come and have a try."

"But I still want to remind everyone that since my lord has set up this experiment, it will definitely not be as easy to pull apart as you imagine."

Obviously, few people took these words to heart, and many people were already flushed with excitement, because 1 taels of silver was really attractive.

Seeing that the people below couldn't wait anymore, the platoon leader didn't say any more, and immediately said: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense, now according to the queue order, you can go up and have a try after paying ten cents."

"However, everyone only has ten breaths of time. If you don't want to try, you can give up."

Everyone understands the rules and no one disagrees.

The first one in line was a thin young man with a dark complexion.

"Brother, do you want to try?" the platoon leader asked aloud.

The skinny young man nodded in haste, and immediately handed over the ten cents he had prepared.

The platoon leader smiled, pointed to the empty box next to it, and said, "Just throw it in."

The skinny young man threw the money in quickly, but no one counted it. The platoon leader immediately made a gesture of please.

Seeing the skinny young man running up to the stage quickly, the other people in line all showed anxious expressions, as if their most beloved things were about to be obtained by others.

When he came to the copper ball, the thin young man hesitated, as if he couldn't believe it.

The leading student stepped forward with a smile, pointed to the rope at one end of the copper ball, and said, "Brother, hold on to the rope and pull the two hemispheres apart, and you will be successful."

The thin young man grabbed the rope nervously, and the student asked, "Are you ready? If you are, I will start timing."

The skinny young man nodded nervously, his palms started to sweat.

"Start." The student snorted softly.

The thin young man instinctively pushed hard, but the copper ball didn't respond at all, only the rope was taut.

"Huh? What's going on? That kid is so useless? Can't you pull this off?"

"Looking at how thin he is, it's not like he doesn't have any strength at all."

While everyone was talking about it, they were also a little gloating.

The thin young man's face changed slightly, and he unconsciously increased his strength, but the copper ball still did not respond.

The thin young man's face turned red, he clenched his teeth, and finally exerted all his strength, but the copper ball remained unmoved.

"Ah..." The skinny young man didn't care about anything else, and started to growl. The rope was stretched straight, but the two hemispheres had no intention of separating.

"Huh? That's weird." Many people in the crowd below have noticed that something is wrong, but they don't understand the specific reason.

"It's time." At this moment, the student who was timing the time said.

The skinny young man tried again, and finally, after being reminded by the student, he put down the rope unwillingly, and walked down the stage dejectedly.

"Missed? This kid missed? What's going on?"

After the first loser came down, everyone showed disbelief. Although the kid was thin and weak, no matter how weak he was, he couldn't pull apart the two hemispheres that were simply fitted together.

The platoon leader smiled and said nothing, and began to question the second person, who was a fat middle-aged man.

"Brother, do you want to try it?"

The chubby middle-aged man showed a simple and honest smile, nodded quickly, and the platoon leader immediately stepped aside to let him in.

The chubby middle-aged man threw ten copper coins into the box, and then quickly ran to the table. The student raised his hand to signal that he could get ready.

The chubby middle-aged man couldn't wait to grab the rope, as if he had grabbed 1 taels of silver all at once.

"start."

Following an order, the fat middle-aged man immediately exerted all his breastfeeding strength.

"Ahhh..." While exerting force, the fat middle-aged man's eyes fixed on the copper ball that was put together.

His body fell backwards, and he wasn't afraid that he would fly out after the copper ball was separated. For 1 taels of silver, what's a fall?
However, the copper ball seemed to be glued to each other tightly and remained motionless.

"time up."

The chubby middle-aged man was stunned. He couldn't figure out that he couldn't even pull such a ball, so what kind of ball was he?

"Wow, what's going on?" The two failed one after another, and the onlookers no longer knew how to describe their feelings, and there were all kinds of guesses.

However, it's only ten pennies, and it's hard to come here once, so how can you be reconciled if you don't try it.

The third person, the fourth person, the fifth person...

Ten people in a row, without exception, all failed. At this time, many people have calmed down a lot.

If it wasn't for Tangning being behind this incident, many people would have suspected that this was some kind of scam or some kind of trickery.

But since it is Mr. Tang, it is definitely not a scam, and it is impossible for Mr. Tang to deceive everyone for such a small amount of money.

There is only one possibility, and that is that no one has been able to figure out Master Tang's intentions.

Finally, a big man with a height of nearly two meters appeared. He was wearing thin clothes, and his muscles almost tore the clothes.

"Hey, this guy is as strong as a bull."

"Hiss, with his physique, he should be able to pull it away."

"Look, look, look..."

After the burly man handed over ten copper coins, he took a few steps and landed on the platform with a vertical leap.

With the bang, the whole table seemed to shake a few times, and the expression of the student closest to him suddenly changed.

But he took a look at the soldiers of the new army not far away and stabilized his mind. He took two steps forward and said to the burly man, "Brother, you can start anytime."

The burly man nodded. In Chaozhou Prefecture, he didn't dare to behave wildly.

Having seen more than a dozen people, he naturally knew how to do it. After rolling up his sleeves, he reached out and grabbed the rope, then wrapped the rope around his right arm a few times, and turned his body to the left.

Seeing him like this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but brighten up, secretly thinking that this big guy is not only as strong as a bull, but also has a good brain.

Seeing that the big man was ready, the student let out a low voice, "Start."

After hearing the order, the big man didn't dare to delay at all, put the sole of his right foot on the ground, and shouted violently: "Ah..."

The rope was stretched straight immediately, the veins on the big man's arms and neck bulged, and his teeth were clenched.

However, the copper ball was still tightly bound together, without the slightest intention of separating, the big man's eyes widened.
