The warm wind floats, blowing the golden waves of wheat in the fields. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The village of Zhujia, which is close to the wheat field, is hot at this time, and every household is busy looking for fire in their dung pits.

Zhu Wuliu ran the fastest, at this time he already had a large handful of white powder in his hand, and carefully searched the pit at home, Zhu Wuliu carefully wrapped the white powder, and immediately went to Qingzhou City.

"Zhu Wuliu, you go and see first, if you can really sell it for money, we will go."

"Yes, you run fast, we'll wait for you to come back."

“……”

Many people in the village are digging, and many people are waiting, and the people who have suffered so much do not fully believe in the government now.

Although the Tuntian order and the production team gave them some benefits, the deep-rooted impression of the government in their hearts was difficult to change for a while.

They were afraid that they would just give away things for nothing.

Zhu Wuliu's footsteps did not stop, his brother Zhu Sansi was in the army, and he believed in the current Qingzhou Mansion and the current King of Qi more than others.

Holding the white powder tightly, Zhu Wuliu arrived in Qingzhou City and went directly to the mansion.

At this time, at the gate of the mansion, a young man of the same grade as him seemed to be waiting for something, Zhu Wuliu hesitated for a moment and stepped forward and asked, "Do you buy fire here?" ”

This young man was Lu Tong's subordinate, and in order to identify the fire, Lu Tong sent the surplus people to the state capitals to take charge of the acquisition.

"That's right." The boy was pleasantly surprised.

So far, no one has come here to hand over saltpeter, and this teenager is the first.

Zhu Wuliu breathed a sigh of relief, handed over the fire gun, and said, "I've found so many." ”

There was a pole in front of the young man, and he weighed the things Zhu Wuliu brought, and said: "It's five taels in total, because you are the first, Your Highness said, the saltpeter brought by the first 100 people was purchased for 20 wen a catty to encourage, this is 10 wen, take it." ”

When the ten copper plates arrived in his hand, Zhu Wuliu smiled happily.

At this time, the young man said to Zhu Wuliu: "By the way, there is another way to get more saltpeter, do you want to learn?" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Wuliu agreed without hesitation, and the temperature of the copper coin in his hand made him wholeheartedly believe in the Qingzhou government.

The young man nodded, and told Zhu Wuliu about the method of digging out the old soil of the pit and mixing the ashes of plants and trees to make fire nitrate.

Zhu Wuliu nodded and immediately returned to the village.

At this time, seeing Zhu Wuliu coming back, many villagers surrounded him and asked, "Wuliu, how is it?" ”

Zhu Wuliu lit up the copper coin in his hand, "I'll just say that our Royal Highness won't deceive the people, and the people in the government said that the first 100 will be bought for 20 wen a catty." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people around Zhu Wuliu immediately ran away, and when they got home, they picked up the saltpeter at home and ran to Qingzhou City.

In an instant, hundreds of people seemed to have been chased by dogs.

Zhu Wuliu smiled, pinched the copper coin in his hand, and thought about how to use the money he earned?

At this time, the news that the fire nitrate could really repay the money spread ten, and the spread of ten and hundreds slowly spread, and more people joined in the search for and production of fire nitrate.

After a shortage of materials for the chemical laboratory in the workshop area of Qingzhou City for half a month, the first batch of saltpeter arrived, although these saltpeters had a strong smell of urine, but in general they were better than nothing.

"Your Royal Highness, you are really powerful, you just solved the problem of saltpeter, hehe, this King of Shu still wants to take care of His Highness, and now it seems that he will have no place to sell this saltpeter in the future."

Lu Tong was almost fainted by the sack of saltpeter that was sent, but he still danced happily.

Xiao Ming smiled bitterly, if he could use normal saltpeter, who would go to the dung pit to find it.

And this is never a long-term solution, after all, the formation of saltpeter also takes time, and this folk method of extracting nitrate cannot replace saltpeter mine after all.

This time, he made public this method of soil nitrate, one was to save the emergency, and the other was to disgust the King of Shu.

When the people of the entire Dayu country know how to get saltpeter, he will see where to sell the saltpeter in Shu.

"Now this saltpeter is abundant, and the gunpowder should be prepared as much as possible." Xiao Ming commanded.

Regarding the King of Shu, his letter to Chang'an has not yet returned, and I don't know how this Xiao Wenxuan will deal with this matter.

Regardless, he got through it for the time being.

There was plenty of gunpowder, and now he had to think about how to realize the matter of throwing the powder jar.

Xiao Ming has his own thoughts about this powder jar, and the weapon on the battlefield is never single.

Unlike this cannon, which was used against catapults and distant enemies, this powder jar was designed to kill and injure the barbarian army gathered under the city to climb the ladder.

And the power of this clay pot lies in the fact that it can be filled with a large amount of gunpowder, and if this gunpowder explodes, it can make the barbarians turn on their backs if it is just a shock wave, which is different from the linear killing of artillery, but belongs to the range of damage.

In view of the fragility of the clay pot, Xiao Ming prepared to wrap a thick layer of straw on the outside of the clay pot and bundle it layer by layer.

As long as small trebuchets are erected on the city walls at that time, the long-range artillery can be fully realized, and the catapults can be thrown within 200 meters, and the short-range coverage of the soldiers' throwing allows the barbarians to enjoy the feast of gunpowder at any location.

While thinking about this frantic defensive strategy, Xiao Ming went to the Equipment Division, Chen Qi is very busy now, but there is no way, this matter has to be handed over to him......

At the same time in Chang'an, a group of undesirable people arrived in Chang'an City.

These people were barbarian envoys from the Golden Horde, and their arrival broke the peaceful atmosphere of Chang'an City, from the first rank of the great officials to the common people of Limin, everyone was spying on the purpose of these barbarian envoys.

And this will also mean that in the future, the Great Chongqing State and the Golden Horde will be at war or peace.

"Three envoys, please go to the post house to rest for a while, tomorrow Your Majesty will summon three envoys from afar."

The envoy responsible for entertaining the barbarians was Zhao Xing, the secretary of Honglu Temple, and the Honglu Temple was responsible for handling the affairs of foreign envoys in Dayu.

"Tomorrow! Today we are going to see your emperor, delaying our big business, watch out for the dog! ”

The barbarian envoy who came this time was tall, his hair was draped behind his back, his side hung with small braided braids, the gold rings on his ears flashed with cold light, his face was dark, and his expression was cold.

He was accompanied by two guards in leather armor and felt hats, and it was one of them who spoke out at this time.

Zhao Xing was snorted, and couldn't help but be a little frightened.

This barbarian clan is powerful, and the officials in Chang'an are barbaric, and Zhao Xing is of course one of them.

When he saw this barbarian envoy, his legs trembled and his mind was flustered, for fear of upsetting the uncle of these barbarians.

"Your Excellency, Messenger." Zhao Xing said with a flattering smile: "The lower officials are also conveying the emperor's will, they are really incompetent, and I ask the three adults to forgive me, I will immediately arrange good wine and food for the three adults, can I?" ”
