"My lord, I don't know what to prepare......

Chen Hong felt strange in his heart, seeing Lou Da outside waving his hand and ordering the Lou generals to open the box, he couldn't help but remember that when this person boarded the ship in Quanzhou Port, he had carried a batch of sealed and airtight goods, saying that it was something he grabbed from the pirate ship when he was at sea to help Wu Guan Belt a year ago, but he didn't expect it to be used at this time.

――Lou Yun was really prepared.

He was immediately overjoyed and agreed:

"What the adults said is true, it is precisely said that feng shui takes turns, and we Bazhen Zhai have made ten years less money, and it is time for them to spit it out."

As he spoke, Lou Da outside had already been ordered to light a fire, and after ten breaths, there was an earth-shattering sound on the sea surface of the port

The sky moved, ten miles away, the bells and drums on the platform of the Tangfang warehouse were shaken so that they did not ring, and even the floor under Ji Qingchen's feet trembled twice.

"What's going on?"

She reached out and held on to the railing, and everyone in the courtyard asked in unison.

Huang Qilang didn't know what he thought, his face changed again and again, and he looked at the port with a telescope, and Ji Qingchen's face was already a little pale at this time, she heard this sound, it should be the explosion of gunpowder......

The Xie family's two nine-story arrow towers were shot by the fire projectiles shot from the Louyun boat, like two towering pillars of fire, burning wildly on the sea, how terrifying the power of firearms was, whether it was Dazaifu twenty miles away, or Zhuma Temple in Yazhu Mountain, it seemed to be alarmed.

For a while, the Tsukushi Coast resounded with the symphonic sound of warning gongs and Buddha bells.

The sea was boiling, and there was inevitably a commotion in Tangfang, and Mr. Li was duty-oriented, so he didn't need her to tell him, so he hurriedly retreated, went down to appease the people, and strengthened his vigilance.

Except for Huang Qilang and Ji Qingchen, only Ji's mother was left on the platform.

The old witch Zhu stood far away in the corner of the building, abiding by the ban that the witches were not allowed to discuss the major events in the workshop, but she hunched her waist slightly, staring at the red flame on the dark sea, I don't know if she was thinking, the gunpowder was originally passed down from generation to generation, occasionally used to refine witch medicine, and after a thousand years, it was used to fight on ......the battlefield in the Great Song Dynasty.

The bombardment had not stopped, and Ji Qingchen's face had returned to normal, but he nodded again:

"It's the sound of a fire crow—"

She listened attentively to one after another, and a total of ten shots of firearms rang out, and she could still carefully distinguish the history.

"It's the sound of a copper fire crow gun, no wonder it can be transported by sea, don't worry about getting wet."

There was no one left and right, only Mother Ji, the informed manager of the inner library, but Huang Qilang's expression was also strange, and he stomped his feet and said bitterly:

"Big sister, didn't the bronze fire crow gun be imitated by your Necuri last year? There are only bamboo fire crow guns in the Great Song Ordnance Division, why did you sell these things to Quanzhou? Didn't you promise Brother Wang Xian that you would only supply these things to him, and only supply them to our Huang Warehouse? ”

The bamboo barrel fire crow gun produced by the Ordnance Department of the Great Song Dynasty was originally Wang Shiqiang couldn't twist her curiosity and asked, in order to please her, he took the risk to smuggle out two from Lin'an City through Mingzhou Port and send them to Tangfang.

One hundred years after the Jingkang Change, the Great Song Dynasty that retreated to the south of the Yangtze River and the Jin State that captured Bianliang each developed firearms, which were almost comparable.

The Bronze Raven Gun is the latest development.

"Brother Huang Qi, since I agreed, of course I didn't sell it to others, but the one hundred and twenty copper fire crow guns that Wang Gang took from Huang's warehouse in the past two years, in order to raise money, he may not have resold a few to the three major fields, right? I've heard that even the pirate ships in Quanzhou have already bought three or two-"

While talking in a low voice, Ji's mother lifted the tin pot on the fire in the corner of the building and poured two cups of tea, which also made their tense feelings relax slightly for a moment.

She smiled and stretched out her hand, served the tea in the tray, and gently opened the lid to smell that the tea inside was not the Wuyi tea from Quanzhou, which she often eats, but the three or four tea trees that have been planted in the mountain grange in the past two years.

The Fujian tea tree from Wuyi Mountain, although it is not of the highest grade planted in the grange, but because it can tolerate bitterness, it is safe to meet with the encounter, and now it can pick a few leaves and fry them, and then cook the tea into the taste.

Naturally, she didn't need to explain to Huang Qilang the real reason why Tang Fang needed firearms, and she never explained it to Wang Shiqiang.

Her need for firearms was neither out of curiosity nor because she had expected Ji Chenhu's intention to invade Fusang, but simply to protect Tangfang's food source.

In order to protect the duck built deep in the mountains, 30,000 residents worked hard to reclaim, but always worked in vain.

The production of copper firearms in Tangfang was not to support the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, but to protect the barren mountains and terraces that had been carved out with great difficulty, so that they would not be set on fire by the barbarians in the mountains.

"Big sister, where do the Quanzhou pirates have the ability to buy these muskets?

Huang Qilang took a few sips of hot tea, and his face improved.

"Brother Wang Xian would never make such a mistake, the firearms on the pirates' ships, those eighty percent were obtained through the channels of Zhao Bingqian's bastard clan——"

When it came to Lord Zhao, who instructed the pirates to rob money and kill people in the Quanzhou Bronze Mirror case, I don't know if it was because the tea was too hot, his voice stopped abruptly - even her eyes moved slightly, revealing a look of surprise and shock.

The two glanced at each other, and at the same time looked at the Fujian sea ship on the sea surface of Tangfang, as well as the two pillars of arrow tower fire on the sea.

"This Lord Lou, I heard that he killed pirates in Quanzhou without mercy, he won't leave you any room because he found out that this firearm came from Tang Fang, so he has to let San Lang replace him, right?"

Huang Qilang put the tea back on Ji's mother's tray and couldn't help muttering to himself.

After a moment of silence, she shook her head categorically and denied it,

"Although the matter of Tangfang firearms was sold to your Huang Warehouse, but Huang Qige, you didn't handle it, but it was transferred to Wang Gangshou through your old brother who smuggled it at the beginning, even if Lou Yun was suspicious, he would never be able to find out that the firearms were from Tangfang, but Wang Gangshou sent ten copper fire crow guns, gunpowder prescriptions and casting methods to the Great Song Ordnance Department through Han Senzheng last year, this Lord Lou must know——"

After that, she looked at Ji's mother, met the deep old eyes of the old woman, she reluctantly put down the tea cup in the tray she was holding, and sighed with a wry smile:

"It makes this Lord Lou suspicious, because I didn't listen to Mother Ji's words, and I shouldn't have copied a large number of bronze mirrors from Bazhen Zhai-"

In Huang Qilang's doubts, she explained,

"This kind of copper casting technology was originally unique to the Great Song Dynasty, even the Jin Kingdom did not have it, we finally learned to make a copper gun barrel, and I was in a hurry to open a new copper mirror business to do more business, I didn't listen to my mother's words to hide this technology, Lou Yun was originally a military attaché, in case he knew something about casting technology and gunpowder formula, he-"

Ji's mother was silent and didn't say anything, but Huang Qilang screamed again.

"Big girl, it's not good! I've heard—"

He slapped his thigh, and his face became ugly.

"Didn't the gunpowder formula that you can afford with a copper barrel change from the gunpowder formula of the Jin Kingdom? I heard that when Lou Yun was admitted to the Tanhua Palace, he also mentioned it in front of the official family that when he was protecting Shangguan and infiltrating the Shandong Reward Righteous Army, the reward envoy at that time was seriously injured and died on the road, that is, he was injured by the firearms of the Jin State in the chaotic battle.

"In this case, with his ability, he must have begun to suspect Tang Fang as soon as he saw the bronze mirror made by Tang Fang."

When she heard this, she could only sigh that her luck was not good and she bumped into this Lou adult.

It is precisely because of the improvement of the copper casting technology in her workshop that Tang Fang has been able to completely imitate even the bronze mirror of Bazhenzhai since a year ago.

Lou Yun did not start with Fujian maritime merchants at the beginning, but wrote to Master Kongming through the master of Foguang Temple, and continued to try, at this time, the head of the Fujian Eight Outlines who jointly funded the establishment of Bazhen Zhai had no patience for the copycats in Tangfang.

They hit it off.

In this way, Fujian sea ships will come to the East China Sea thousands of miles away and deploy outside Tangfang.

She also thought that with the twelve rivers of Tangfang as bait, they should endure it for another half a year, so that she would have the financial resources and time to build enough sea boats and hand them over to San Lang......

She looked at Huang Qilang with a smile and said:

"Brother Huang Qi, the envoy is on the ship with firearms, and you don't even know?"

"Big girl! You can still laugh - he is using this firearm now, but he is just telling you that he knows everything like a mirror in his heart, and it is better for you to be honest? What will you do if he summons you to the ship in the name of the envoy? If you don't go, San Lang will go! ”

Huang Qilang couldn't help but be a little angry.

Tang Fang Ji Qingchen and Siming Wang Shiqiang are the reliable reliance of his Huang Qilang from a boatload to the head of the maritime business program in just ten years, not his siblings but better than siblings.

If he broke any of them, he was in pain from digging his heart and skin, and shouted urgently:

"He is the envoy of the state, and according to the rule, he has the expediency of rewarding the Yibang Fan Shou Eight Rank and below the rank of civil and military officials, if he gives it to San Lang, you will really not be able to sit firmly in the position of the owner of the workshop!" ――
