Chapter 22 Gunpowder
hot!
The spicy Wei Balang's tears were almost coming out. Not only was it spicy, but it was probably because Chen Xiaoqi's hand had been holding the fuse for a long time, and there was a smell of gunpowder mixed with it. It made Xiao Balang cough and ran back to the inn and drank three big bowls of water to suppress the energy. Wei Balang was so angry that Chen Mu laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. Although he did think from the heart that happiness should not be built on Hachiro's pain at this time, let alone he was just a child.
He seemed to see a lot of money waving to Hachiro while crying. He wanted to laugh, and couldn't help it!
When people are poor and poor, the whole world will come to make things difficult for you. But once the time comes, it is really a force for the world! Since Chen Mu got twenty taels of silver from Zhang Yongshou, Chen Xiaoqi has been very happy in the future. I won’t talk about anything else. When he returned to the garrison, he went to the ground to farm and was so busy that he got a quick job like an official Anyuan Station. He got a big bucket of gunpowder and gave him a pillow. On the mountain where the station was back, he looked for such a cave that produced sniffles.
Before he could laugh for a long time after he returned to the post station from the cave, Fu Yuan, who was riding a horse smoothly, rushed over with a terrestrial dragon rolling behind his butt. After he pulled the horse in a casual manner, he shouted and fell off his horse with a strange sound. After all, he knew that he was wearing a thicker season in the late Qiu period. He didn't hurt him. He got up and rushed into the post office happily and shouted: "Little Flag? Brother? I've paid my salary!"
"You've just given your salary...?"
Chen Mu thought Fu Yuan was scolding him, but he realized it halfway through his words. He should be able to get a two-month salary this time. When the salary was paid last month, someone was in Guangzhou Prefecture. If the piece was paid this time, it would be six stones of brown rice, which would be nearly three taels of silver.
Although Chen Xiaoqi is now holding more than a dozen taels of silver, he is considered to be "rich and powerful", but do you want to ask if Liushi brown rice?
Nonsense! With my own ability, why don’t you want a salary?
Fu Yuan rubbed his hands and smiled, "Six and a half stones, there is no one in your house, I put it in the rice jar, so that Old Man Zheng can watch it!"
"Hi!" Chen Mu clapped his hands and laughed, "Don't bother. Anyone who has time to go to my house to sell the rice. It's useless to keep it. Xiaoqi stays here for a winter, and it's all the time to go back to become Chen rice - let's not talk about these, it's time for you to come back, go and call the medicine, and Shiqi is waiting outside."
Chen Mu said as he hugged Hachiro who had just wiped his tears, he walked out. Wei Balang tried his best to resist. Now he just wanted to vomit when he heard the word "Suzi".
"Wait!"
Fu Yuan was drinking water with a puff. Seeing that Chen Mu was about to leave, he hurried out to pour beans and said, "Hundreds of households are in a hurry in Qingyuan. There was news of Japanese pirates appearing in the east of Guangzhou Prefecture this morning. The commander ordered all the households to harvest the fields as soon as possible, guard all the places, and let us..."
"Let's go back to Yu Kou?"
Chen Mu frowned. He really didn't expect this to happen. However, after he finished speaking, Fu Yuan waved his hand and smiled, "It's almost winter. Even if the Japanese pirates come to Guangdong, they will not be able to come to Qingyuan. Baihu is worried about harvesting the fields. He wants our Xiaoqi to draw one person back. Xiaoqi, you know that the Baihu Institute has only 50 or 60 Yuandi and 200 Yuandi who can go to the land. Apart from the two small flags in various places, how can they collect fifty hectares of military fields? Baihu also asked me to ask you, see if you can come up with any solution."
"Ask me?" It was Chen Mu's turn to be stunned. Even if Bai Yuanjie treats him as a confidant, at best, he is a thug. How could he find a way to find a way to do this? "Where is the general flag? Why don't Baihu ask the general flag? "
"Mr. Wang was suffering from tuberculosis and was buried in half. He didn't care about anything all day long. He couldn't tell when he would leave. How could he compare to Xiaoqi and share the worries of all households!"
There is also a general flag in charge of the five small flags on the small flag, and then there are hundreds of households. Although Chen Mu was surprised that Bai Yuanjie was directly asking him for any way to ask about such a thing, I have to say that Bai Yuanjie has found the right person.
Not to mention the big thing, who can solve this problem for Bai Yuanjie to have more than 3,000 military households in Qingyuanwei?
Chen Mu patted his chest gently and said to Fu Yuan: "Don't talk about going back alone, even if six people from Xiaoqi go back to harvest the fields, how useful can it be? If the Baihu can transfer one or two craftsmen to Chen's Xiaoqi, you can deliver the things to the Baihu at two days, and maybe you can harvest the rice within five days. Even if you can't, you can try to harvest more. If you can't transfer the craftsmen, tell Baihu, three craftsmen under Chen will go back - how about it, go for another trip?"
Every time at this time, Chen Mu was very glad that he was involved in an officer. Even the lowest-level officers in the garrison were better than ordinary military households who were called to drink. In just a few days, Fu Yuan had traveled back and forth from Baihu Station to Anyuan Station for dozens of miles. If this matter was replaced by Chen Mu being ordered by Shangguan, he had a low status and no salary. I am afraid he would also be a fugitive!
But Fu Yuan did not have such an awareness at all. He was even very happy. He nodded and had some food in the inn. He greeted Chen Mu and others who were weighing gunpowder and rode away very easily.
How many ordinary military households can ride horses among the thousands of people who are harvesting rice in Qingyuan Guard? He is just one of them! In the past few days, from the beginning, he led the Yima to Feishui Bridge and then walked on the horse for a while, and now he can ride slowly, and run hundreds of steps from time to time. Fu Yuan was happy!
What's more, Chen Xiaoqi's meaning is to let him be responsible for going to Qingyuan City and the Hundred Houses in the next winter, which is a treatment that only the confidant can get. After running a few times, Fu Yuan was happy and was too late, so he would not complain!
In the past few days, Fu Yuan was arrogant every time he went out from the garrison, which felt different. In the past, there were not many people in the garrison that looked down on him, but because of Chen Mu, because of Chen Mu's horse, the military households who looked down on him in the past had to look up to him. Why? Because he came to Baihu, he went to Anyuanyi to easily work, and could ride the tall nine-sided war horse!
Not to mention that ordinary people can't see the age of a war horse, most people have never touched the horse. Even Fu Yuan himself wouldn't know if Chen Mu hadn't told him that Huo Shaoyun was a teenage old horse.
Chen Mu didn't know this. He was sitting on the roots of the tree in the forest east of the station and writing and painting on the wooden board with a charcoal pen, thinking about a major issue that might be related to life and death.
Shouldn’t the gunpowder weighed according to the best ratio be less when used on bird guns?
What Chen Mu was most afraid of was that the bird gun could not hold on to the power of gunpowder explosion in this era. The lead balls were not shot out and they exploded again!
Note: The word "adult" means father a long time ago, but it does not absolutely refer to fathers, but can also refer to adults, elders or express respect.
