The seventh princess secretly scolded His Royal Highness Sixth in her heart, this idiot, even if he wants to kill him, he will wait for a few batches of trial production. There's no problem with killing again! Now it's cheaper than the nineteenth sister. But after thinking about it, if the Sixth Highness could really brew this kind of wine, wouldn't it be even worse! I won't get even a little benefit from it.

Now the strength of the Sixth Highness Sheng Wang is the most mysterious, and everyone is a little unclear how many people he has, but it can only be roughly estimated, it should be at least one and a half million, and he has a very close relationship with the major families. Therefore, the potential threat of the Sixth Highness is also the greatest.

"So what now? I've heard that in King Wen's place, the nineteenth sister has to pay one percent of the tax, and this time it's really cheaper for my second brother! The seventh princess said a little unwillingly.

"Huh! The old man thought that the nineteenth princess had already thought about it for you, and her price at King Wen was six taels of silver for an altar, and for us was five taels of silver for an altar, which was more than a percent of the tax! What's more, the burnt knives that are shipped here are distributed by us, so ...... It's not up to you to set the price! Duanmuqi smiled slightly, and said very clearly.

"Humph! So I wronged the nineteenth sister? The seventh princess was a little satisfied at this time, but her mouth was still very strong: "Come on, put those burning knives on the shelves, ten taels of silver a jar!" ”

"Huh? Princess, isn't it too expensive? Duanmu Qi was trembling when he heard this, these seven princesses really dared to make a bid! It's doubled again.

"Humph! Love to buy or not, too expensive? Let them go to Xiyuan City to buy it! The seventh princess hummed very domineeringly, now that she has developed a habit, it is already uncomfortable if she doesn't make him a lot of money!

"Old decay admires! Still princess domineering! But if you buy it, can you pay five taels of silver at the original price? Duanmu Qi hurriedly bowed deeply before asking.

"Humph! Here you go, 20% off! So-so, it's eight taels of silver! The Seventh Princess smiled slyly.

"That's not cheap! The old man is still waiting for the princess's reward! Duanmuqi also said very painfully.

"Hahahaha! You old thing, can't you let me make some money? The Seventh Princess suddenly laughed in a comfortable mood and said, if you want to say that you can play some humor with the Seventh Princess, it is Duanmuqi, and others don't dare to be so presumptuous at all!

"Old decay is very poor!"

"Get out!"

Duanmuqi left the princess's mansion, but he restrained his smile. He didn't tell the truth just now, the heir of the winemaking in Beidi County was simply made up by the Nineteenth Princess. Duanmuqi is also to protect Zhu Xiaobao. helped the nineteenth princess to round out the lie. But he was still a little entangled in his heart, after all, he was still doing things for the Seventh Princess, and he didn't want to betray the Seventh Princess, but now he had to say nonsense against his will for the sake of such a little fat man!

But Duanmuqi knew that the Seventh Princess was very shrewd, and now it seemed that she would let go of the Nineteenth Princess very easily, but in fact, it was because she was lacking in skills now, and she still needed the Nineteenth Princess to guard Xiyuan City for her.

Fortunately, now Duanmuqi already knows that Zhu Xiaobao has moved out of the barracks of the Nineteenth Princess and established a blessed land on his own. In this way, even if the Seventh Duke mainly recovers Xiyuan City at that time, it will not cause harm to the small treasures. Duanmuqi always believed that the best result of the nineteenth princess in the end was to migrate to the fiefdom of the seventh princess, and he could also ensure that he would be rich for life.

……

In the blessed land of Dongtian, Zhu Xiaobao is still busy, and the ring road is still under intense construction. And Zhu Xiaobao spent a lot of time drawing a map of the Great Xia Kingdom, although it was very inaccurate, but this was already the limit of what he could do. The other is a detailed map of the blessed land, this map is more accurate, Zhu Xiaobao should plan well, from the experience of later generations, planning in advance, in order to avoid unnecessary waste of resources, but also reasonable use of land resources.

Since the nineteenth princess selected sixty female guards from the new, Zhu Xiaobao is in a good mood, and the most unexpected thing is that Wu Lijia also came to the cave blessed land, speaking of which, the sixty female guards behind are super strong, and they are very familiar with Zhu Xiaobao.

But happy to happy, Zhu Xiaobao suddenly felt that his pressure had increased correspondingly, and so many people were eating with him. Be sure to keep them safe, secure and at ease!

Now Zhu Xiaobao has carved out a plot of land with gentle terrain and fertile land, almost a thousand acres of land. It accounts for one-seventh of the usable land area of the blessed land. Here, Duane is in charge of growing grain and vegetables, and there is also a large area where cattle and horses are raised.

War horses are needed for training, and cattle are needed for life, and the leftover sake lees processed every day also need to be used reasonably, and these sake lees are mixed with other forage to be the best feed for cattle. Of course, this is Duane's proposal, and Zhu Xiaobao is very satisfied.

So now fifty of those people have been drawn to help Duane level the land and build a fence. Another forty or fifty people began construction of the bathrooms and toilets of the female guards.

Now that you have chosen your own person, of course, the construction of supporting facilities has begun! Moreover, it is much more convenient to build these facilities here, because there is a hot spring in the first place, so there is no need for boiling water. Two pools were also dug at the edge of the hot springs to facilitate the laundry of the female soldiers. The other is an open-air hot spring. Zhu Xiaobao is quite thoughtful!

In fact, the bathroom has not been built yet, and the female guards are bathing in the open air, but Zhu Xiaobao is not polite at all, and secretly went to see it several times. It's a pity that I didn't see Wu Yue and them. Does she know I'm going to peek? Why is it so well hidden, and you can't find a human figure? Zhu Xiaobao is a little depressed!

However, Wu Lijia and Jumei were seen by Zhu Xiaobao carelessly, Zhu Xiaobao's whole person was not good, and he kept reading in his heart: In the future, you must limit your height and weight when you marry a wife, it's too terrifying, Wu Lijia is so strong and strong, that Jumei is simply Taishan of the Apes! There are also female guards selected by Wu Yue in the early stage, all of whom are tall and tall. Let Zhu Xiaobao feel that he is too small!

Wu Lijia came to the blessed land of Dongtian this time, and brought something with her, which was the saltpeter scraped by Zhu Xiaobao who asked her to take the female soldiers to various places such as pigsty and thatched houses. Although Wu Lijia didn't know what he was going to do, he was still very serious about helping these little treasures to scavenge a few big bags.

"What's the use of this thing?" Wu Lijia asked very dissatisfied, for these 'dirty things', Wu Lijia got angry with those female soldiers, because they didn't want to do these things!

"Hey, hey! Sister Lijia, you are still the most reliable in doing things! Here you go, this is the burning knife you want" Zhu Xiaobao said very affectionately, and then whispered: "This is the best burning knife for five taels of gold and one jar!" Be careful when you drink and don't get drunk! ”

"Humph! That's pretty much it! Wu Lijia's eyes lit up when she heard this, she was the best among the many female guards, and she drank a lot. It's just that now under the kind reminder of Zhu Xiaobao, a little more moderation, Zhu Xiaobao said that drinking alcohol hurts the liver!

With saltpeter, of course, it was for the manufacture of black/gunpowder. Zhu Xiaobao enthusiastically configured charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur into black/gunpowder according to the ratio of black/gunpowder, which is the benefit of theoretical knowledge, and there is no need to explore and experiment little by little, you can directly configure it.

However, when the configuration was completed, Zhu Xiaobao found that it was not as simple as imagined, and the proportions of various materials would produce different effects. An increase in the proportion of sulfur will produce a stronger flame, an increase in the proportion of saltpeter will increase the intensity of combustion, and an increase in the proportion of charcoal will increase the duration of combustion. It seems that it is still necessary to determine the most suitable ratio through practice.

It turned out that what Zhu Xiaobao was most worried about was the entrance to the cave that Tong Wuxin had just brought him to, although it was very secret, but didn't the giant bandit Ao Yang know about that entrance? And if someone gets in from there, the consequences are unimaginable!

So Zhu Xiaobao wants to get out of the mines, in this case, set up a mine array, not to mention Ao Yang, even the Wuzun in the transfer of words, don't think about coming in.

Zhu Xiaobao asked Du Ping to fire dozens of small clay pots, put the configured gunpowder in them, and then find a place where no one was there to start the experiment. But the effect is not ideal, the clay pot he made is too small, although it can explode after detonation, but the lethality is limited.

"Looks like we have to increase the loading capacity!" Zhu Xiaobao walked out of the cave with a dirty face, and he didn't want others to know about this thing. So it's all hands-on, and it's not surprising that your face is full of gray and black!

"What are you doing to get so dirty?" Unexpectedly, not much way after he walked out, he met Wu Yue and Tong Wuxin head-on. The two of them were also secretly practicing the compound bow behind their backs. Didn't Chief Wu say that it was strictly forbidden to spread the word, so Wu Yue and Tong Wuxin were also practicing quietly, both of them were very interested in this compound bow, thinking about how exciting it was to be able to increase the range with a single bow!

Wu Yue naturally took out the face towel to help Zhu Xiaobao wipe the ashes on his face, which made Zhu Xiaobao very comfortable, I didn't expect Wu Yue to have such a gentle side!

"Ask you! What did you do? But before she could enjoy the gentleness, she was grabbed by Wu Yue and asked.

"What's going on, I just wanted to praise you for becoming gentle, and that's it again! I'm working on gunpowder! Zhu Xiaobao said very dissatisfied, but seeing that they were the two people he trusted the most, Zhu Xiaobao did not hide it from them. Then he snatched Wu Yue's face towel and wiped it vigorously on his face, it was too gentle just now, and he didn't wipe it clean at all.

"Gunpowder? What is it? Isn't it like a signal arrow I gave you? Tong Wuxin's reaction was very fast, and immediately thought of her signal arrows, which were specially used to call for help or send signals in case of emergency, mainly with flammable materials such as sulfur, packed in the middle of a small section of bamboo, and when used, the outside twist was lit first, and then shot into the air! It can be seen from miles away.

"Letter cannon? Well, this one could be improved, and it should be better than yours! After Zhu Xiaobao heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he muttered to himself.
