The founding of the Ming Dynasty began with tricking Zhu Yuanzhang into recognizing him as his fathe

"Daddy's back!".

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound at the gate of the village, and then Ma Xiulian dropped her feather and ran to the gate of the village alone.

Fang Yu saw from a distance that Ma Baoshan walked into the cottage with a happy face, and behind him more than a dozen people carried eight large boxes. It seems that Ma Baoshan has found the treasure!

In the past six months, the cottage has never been open for two consecutive days, so everyone is very happy, and their faces are full of smiles.

In a secret room, Ma Baoshan, Hu Qingniu and Fang Yu sat facing each other.

"Third brother, this time I took out a lot of gold and silver treasures from your family's treasure, and I calculated with Brother Hu, it is enough to have 200,000 taels!" Ma Baoshan said with some excitement.

In the Yuan Dynasty, one tael of silver was equivalent to 660 yuan now, and 200,000 taels was equivalent to 130 million! No wonder Ma Baoshan was so excited; if he exchanged this money for grain, he would be able to buy 400,000 stone of rice, or 37.6 million kilograms! It would be enough to eat in the mountains for 10 or 8 years!

"This is a piece of jade butterfly that I got from the treasure, and there are no words on it, but it is estimated that it has something to do with your Zhao family, so I brought it out. Hu Qingniu said, handing a piece of yellow jade butterfly to Fang Yu.

This piece of jade butterfly is very similar to the one of the exterminator master, but there is no word on it.

Fang Yu, who took over the jade butterfly, thanked Hu Qingniu again and again.

"What the hell is this? Yellow stones are quite rare. Ma Baoshan asked.

"This is the royal jade butterfly of our Zhao family. Generally, if an heir is born, he will engrave the date and hour of his birth on it, which is the certificate of the descendants of our Zhao family. "

What he knew from the exterminator master, Fang Yu told Ma Baoshan and Hu Qingniu about it.

"What about yours, third brother?" Ma Baoshan asked again.

"I didn't. Fang Yu said frankly.

"You don't? Didn't you say that this is the evidence of the descendants of the Zhao family?" Ma Baoshan was puzzled.

"My grandfather was imprisoned in Tibet by the Yuan people and could not return to the Central Plains until he died. After my father was born in Tibet, he was quietly brought back to the Central Plains by a caravan of my grandfather, the Tohan people, and was adopted by a peasant family with the surname Fang. When my father grew up, he was always committed to opposing the Yuan Dynasty and restoring the Song Dynasty, and he had no money to spare. Therefore, after I was born, my father did not have the money to find such a good piece of jade as my royal jade butterfly. This is also the most regrettable thing before my father's death. Fang Yuhu said, his face showing sadness.

"I see, but it doesn't matter!Third brother, you have this yellow stone now, and it can be regarded as comforting your uncle in the future to find a craftsman to engrave your birth date!" Ma Baoshan patted Fang Yu's shoulder and comforted.

"Thank you, Second Brother!" Fang Yu said as he pretended to wipe his eyes.

"Third brother, this treasure really belongs to your Zhao family. Therefore, it is up to you to decide how this treasure will be used and where it will be spent. Hu Qingniu said.

"No, no!" Fang Yu waved his hand again and again: "This treasure is in charge of the two eldest brothers! I only have one small request!".

"You say!" Ma Baoshan said.

"I'd like to buy some gunpowder, iron pellets, and good rice paper. Fang Yu said.

"What do you want these things for?" Hu Qingniu was a little puzzled.

But Ma Baoshan heard from Ma Xiulian about Fang Yu's finding out of the fire gun today, so he vaguely knew what Fang Yu wanted to do.

"The third brother wants to make those dozen firebolts?" Ma Baoshan asked.

"Exactly!" Fang Yu said affirmatively.

"This firearm is slow to fire and has a short range, and it is not worth the bow and arrow at all. If the third brother wants to play, I have a strong bow, and I will give it to the third brother when the time comes!" Ma Baoshan said.

"I understand my second brother's intentions, but I still want gunpowder, iron pills, and good rice paper. It would be better if the second brother could send eighteen people to me!" Fang Yu said.

The reason why Fang Yu was eighteen people was because there were eighteen fire guns.

"Hey. Seeing that Fang Yu insisted, Ma Baoshan had to agree to buy what Yu wanted, but for the eighteen people Fang Yu wanted, Ma Baoshan looked embarrassed.

"Third brother, you know. There are mostly old and weak women and children in the cottage. In a village of more than 400 people, the men are only in their early 100s. If you are given eighteen people, I will go out from now on, and it will be difficult to do things if there are fewer people. Ma Baoshan said.

"I know it's not easy for the second brother, but it's also okay for women. Fang Yu said.

The firebolt is different from the bow and arrow. Bows and arrows require arm strength, which is generally only accessible to men, and female muscles are too small, so bows and arrows are not suitable. As long as you are proficient in reloading and firing, children can kill adults with firearms.

"Is it okay for a woman?" Ma Baoshan was a little surprised, he had never seen a woman wielding a gun and a sword.

"Of course you can, women can also hold up half the sky!But second brother, the woman you gave me at least don't lack arms and legs, and she can't walk on the road! And it's better to be obedient, she can endure the hardship!" Fang Yu said.

"It's easy to do. None of the women in the village can endure hardships! They are all from the Zhuang family, and they are very strong! As for being obedient, I will send Xiulian to you too! With her, no one dares not to listen to you!" Ma Baoshan said and handed over his daughter to Fang Yu.

"Second brother, how can my niece come! You should know that I want someone to form a firecracker team. In the future, I will go to the battlefield and fight with the soldiers. Fang Yu said.

"I know! We've all fallen grass on the mountain, and we're definitely going to have to confront the dog government in the future. When the men are dead, don't they women have to go to the battlefield in order to survive? Let Xiulian see and understand in advance, it is also for her good!" Ma Baoshan said.

Since Ma Baoshan insisted on letting Ma Xiulian join Fang Yu's musket team, Fang Yu couldn't refuse.

"By the way, Shu Ming, what are you going to do with the second brother?" Fang Yu asked.

Speaking of this treasure, it was given by Shu Ming, and he was the first to do it.

"Those who want to stay stay, those who want to go home go home. They are all hard-working people. Ma Baoshan said.

After discussing how to use the treasure of 200,000 taels, the three of them left the secret room and celebrated with everyone!

The next day, twenty-three people from Shu Ming's party stayed, and the rest left with Shu Ming, and Ma Baoshan also sent them travel expenses.
