Chapter 550. Prairie Hero
For a long time in European history, the saltpeter that the British, French, and Germans relied on to produce gunpowder was all made by scraping nitrate from the dung heaps in towns, and then boiling nitrate and sulfur.
It wasn't until Britain acquired saltpeter mines in Morocco and India that the ratio dropped slightly.
In the Ming Dynasty, which was known for firearms, a large part of the gunpowder nitrate also came from this, Wang Hou did not have nitrate ore in his hands, and he also had to rely on the butts of the people under his own governance to produce saltpeter in a clump, which was really inefficient, and the effort was really too much.
It wasn't until later that he slapped his head coldly, and pigs can pull more than people!
Moreover, compared with the scattered village public toilets to transport night incense, concentrate on several large pig farms, and transport pig manure to a place for fermentation every day, so that it can make nitrate stably, and then the pigs are slaughtered and sold pork, and the pigs are pulled out and then composted, and they can be earned horizontally and vertically, and they are rounded off to hundreds of millions.
The only difficulty is that the collection of pig feed is laborious, so Wang Hou even had to customize ten Qingzhou sea boats for him, especially for him to run Qingxu, buy wheat bran, old grain, soybean meal and so on.
This bamboo tube is inserted into the dung heap for three days, about half a catty of nitrate can be collected, and most of the half a year has passed, and the gunpowder produced in the Jinzhou Armory can also have a few tons, which is equivalent to the sum of the gunpowder made by Wang Hou over the years.
Finally, it didn't take a few shots to go down, and it softened to meet the "white eyes" thrown by the enemy's "grudges"! Holding the dirty bamboo tube, Wang Hou's mouth opened straight open.
However, Zhen Timo's cry is very happy and sad, he is happily waiting for Zhuge Ying to come back, take a ton of gunpowder to stun this violent girl, and then the cannon pulls two guns, one to beat people and one to listen to the sound, the muskets come in two rows, one row, one row kills the enemy, and one row of nouveau riche lives as a salute in the sky, and there is a series of shouts behind Leng Buding.
"State Pasture, State Pasture, State Pasture!"
Haw, he was hit on the back waist, and his feet were out of balance, and Wang Hou inserted pig manure again.
The sleeves were scorched for the second time, and a "fragrant" smell, seeing Wang Hou, who was straight at the mouth, was pulled out by his own soldiers, the familiar pig farm fat man's sad face hurriedly lay on the ground like a rice cake.
"The chief envoy Li Fu sent someone to invite, Xianbei has arrived in Jinzhou Mansion, and the chief envoy Li feels the need to ask the state pastor to see him!"
"You, come here!"
Dragging his heavy sleeves and hooking his fingers, Wang Hou suddenly showed a "warm" smile.
"Governor, you command!"
Nodding his head, the pig champion accompanied the smiling face to Wang Hou's side, and Wang Zhoumu suddenly turned cold, and his fat cheek was slammed with a big kick.
Last year's revenge and this year's revenge were avenged together, and he directly threw the gorgeous official robe on the ground with his belt, and the refreshed Wang Houcai felt comfortable for a moment, and then cried and shouted with a sad face: "Send someone to go back to the house immediately to inform Madame, boil water!" ”
"Let someone bring another roll of cloth, and this seat will cover his face!"
…………
In the contempt on his own girl's face and Cao Hongjie, Zhen Mi, Lu Ji and her sisters, laughing like a goblin, throwing the bathtub bald for a while, Wang Zhenbei finally recovered his dog-like virtue, and went to the conference room on the fourth floor to meet the "foreign guests" like a spring breeze.
When people are unlucky, they can stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, but when they are lucky, they also pick up gold ingots one after another.
When he was worried about how to collude with Xianbei to plot against Tian Yu, last year, Li Fu's righteous son, Li Hu, who swore with his fist hanging his heart that he would go to Xiqiang to rob the fine-wool sheep for him, came back!
And he not only took the money to buy 10,000 sheep to earn back 100,000 fine-wool sheep, but it is said that he also brought back two big men in Xianbei, and took the initiative to visit him. I miss my mother's family, and the child's uncle is here!
"My subordinates meet the lord! The subordinates did not disgrace their mission and brought back the fine wool sheep that the lord wanted from Xiqiang! ”
"And these two Xianbei lords admired the lord's martial arts, and gave great help to their subordinates on the way to snatch sheep from the hands of the Xiqiang people, and came with their subordinates to meet the lord!"
Kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed excitedly, and Li Hu slapped the two people who were sitting on Wang Hou's hospitality sofa behind him.
This Xianbei person is still a man and a woman, not to mention, they really made Wang Hou believe a little bit in those handsome Xianbei Oba in the idol dramas of the Northern and Southern Dynasties! Although the man wears a very simple dress, just like the leather robe of the average shepherd noble, wearing a leather hat, but the clothes on his body are neatly cared for, the braids on his head are also combed, and more importantly, a face is quite handsome, with the temperament of those mixed-race tough guys with alien characteristics.
This made Wang Hou really depressed, how could a character be more handsome than him?
The woman's appearance is also extraordinary, she also has a kind of mixed-race beauty, more importantly, she wears much more gorgeous than men, she is a Han silk weaving grassland style long skirt, embroidered with various totem patterns, it looks mysterious and extraordinary, the towering chest hangs three necklaces of all sizes, densely dressed in wolf teeth, animal bones, gems, turquoise and gold and silver utensils.
Especially her hair, while splendidly embellished with gemstone turquoise, she has a round bun on the left and a wooden oval hairpin on the right to braid, just like the sun and the moon.
Both of them can actually speak fluent Han official dialect, and the names of Wang Hou are also different.
"Saiwai Hu Man meets General Zhenbei!"
"The people of the Immortal Heaven meet the Great Prophet of the Eternal Flame!"
Eh, when did Lao Tzu have this title?
was confused, but Wang Hou stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, smiled and stretched out his hand to help the two of them get up, and took the initiative to ask first with a smile.
"This seat is ashamed to live in Liaodong, and I don't know much about the heroes on the grassland, so I don't know where the two come from? Shame shame shame! ”
"General Zhenbei is Lord Tianhan, and it is reasonable for me to be a barbarian, my lord is humble!"
is still so polite, the simple Xianbei handsome guy is about to catch up with the scholar doctor in the Central Plains, and he is elegantly introduced to Wang Hou.
"This is my Great Xianbei Witch, the shaman Sarun Zhuoya sent by the Immortal Heaven to care for my Xianbei people!"
"And from a low background, just for the people of the Xixianbei branch, the name is Kebi Neng is also!"
"Forehead ......"
Originally, Wang Hou's smiling welcome face was frozen there, and even a pair of eyes couldn't help but burst out with a strong killing intent for a moment, and finally he was suppressed.
"You are ......, the leader of Xixianbei, Kebineng!"
