After a long time, the First Emperor stood up and stretched his neck to ask Yun Xiaoshui, "Xiao Aiqing!" You...... What should I do? ”

The First Emperor asked so, and Yun Xiaoshui couldn't pretend to ignore it anymore. Shi Li replied, "Just avoid waiting for the rain and don't hurt people!" There really is no good way! ”

It's true! At that time, there were no fire extinguishers, fire trucks, sprinkler pipes, etc., and forest fires could not be extinguished by a few people carrying two buckets of water, and people could not even get close to the side.

Seeing that the First Emperor was the same as all the ministers, they all nodded helplessly. After this matter was dealt with, Yun Xiaoshui said to Li Si and the others even more unceremoniously:

"The Prime Minister just said that these things can't be verified, so why can't they be confirmed? The islands in the South China Sea can be explored on the spot...... Oh! I remembered something that would have been proven right away.

Now, please testify for us, Your Excellency, and all the adults of the family, has anyone ever seen the top of this Qilin Palace? Anyway, I haven't even walked around this hall, only inside this hall! ”

"Nope! The old man only walked around the main hall once! After Li Si said this, others also said that no one had ever been to the top of the main hall, only the repair craftsmen had occasionally been, and it was impossible for others, especially officials, to go to the top of the main hall.

The First Emperor nodded to Yun Xiaoshui and said, "I can prove that none of you have ever been to the top of this hall!" What kind of medicine is sold in your gourd? ”

Yun Xiaoshui smiled and said: "Wei Chen has seen that there are four big bird's nests on the top of this Qilin Palace, and now of course they are all empty, but there is a palm-sized golden lump in the black nest in the northeast corner, and I don't know who put it in, or the big bird!" Your Majesty can immediately order someone to go up to the top of the main hall to verify! ”

"This one is absolutely verifiable! Is it true? Little Aiqing! ”

"It's true! Who wants to bet with me? Ten thousand taels of gold! "Everyone looked at the First Emperor and Li Si, and there was no one who wanted to lose gold.

The First Emperor ordered people to climb to the top of the Qilin Palace, and after a short time, several people took down the bird's nest grass and a palm-sized piece of yellow horseshoe gold, and put it on the dragon case.

"Wow-" The hall boiled all at once, not only accurately, but also precisely! Haven't you seen it, how can you be blind and be right?

"Hahaha...... Little Aiqing! Quasi-play! Lead the army to the east as a national teacher! However, I want you to leave after the Spring Festival, and I should prepare some military supplies! ”

"Obey! Let's go after the Spring Festival! ”

Being able to spend the New Year at home, Yun Xiaoshui didn't expect this. In addition to being happy, he stepped up the process of two things. One is the production of chili powder and the preparation of cumin powder; The second is the production of fireworks and artillery battles.

This time, Yun Xiaoshui's knowledge of fireworks and firecrackers was fully exposed. According to the little knowledge he knew, he used bamboo tubes, wooden sticks to dig holes, and yellow clay to make cylindrical shapes, and barely made firecrackers, "drill harriers" and "flower flashes" and other local fireworks, the varieties were monotonous, and the success rate of fireworks was not very high.

However, this is already commendable.

Yun Xiaoshui and Ba Ying's barbecue and spicy hot pot restaurant was officially opened, and the prince and several ministers were invited to have a free meal and decorate the façade. On the day of its opening, the people in front of the restaurant shouted happily, attracting crowds of people to watch the lively people.

It's not that this pomp has attracted so many people, because after all, the Ba family's power is not small. It was mainly the fireworks and firecrackers brought by Yun Xiaoshui that attracted everyone.

The sound of "crackling" firecrackers surprised the people around them inexplicably, and they had never seen or heard of them. The half-grown boys were surprised and frightened, rushing forward for a while, and then retreating.

After the firecrackers went off, they went into the field, picked up the firecrackers that did not explode, and put a bamboo tube filled with gunpowder, revealing a lead outward, and the seal was sealed with sticky.

Some bold children lit the firecrackers with the noose they picked up, and the "bang" could still sound, causing a group of curious little boys to clap their hands and cheer.

Fireworks!

The effect of releasing it during the day is not very good, but people are shocked when they see it, a miracle! "Drilling Harrier" and "Flower Flash" are all lit after the rope is ignited, and then it rises into the air with a "pop", and then explodes with a "pop", shining brightly, and a point of light is sprinkled with "bang", and nothing can be found if you look for it again. The fireworks are over, but the cheers of the people have not stopped.

This burst of singing and laughter is more lively and lasting than the Spring Festival in previous years, because the excitement of the Spring Festival was still lived by princes, nobles and rich families at that time. The common people who are struggling in poverty are still not happy.

"Have fun this year! I heard that Xiao Aiqing's fireworks and firecrackers are very interesting, adding joy to the celebration of the festival, the most surprising? Then have fun with the people and make more of it! After the First Emperor heard about the opening of the restaurant cooperated by the Yun family and the Ba family, he said to Yun Xiaoshui with a look of curiosity and eagerness.

In the end, the emperor ordered Yun Xiaoshui to send his barbecue and spicy hot pot to the palace to eat, and he sent a lot of food, and in the end, he didn't get any silver from the first emperor.

"Why did your majesty become so picky? I knew that we wouldn't invite the prince or a few ministers. Maybe that won't reach His Majesty's ears! Yun Xiaoshui muttered a little distressed.

"Giggle...... It's the same result if you don't invite anyone! It's nothing more than that His Majesty knows that the time may be a few days late! ”

It's Chinese New Year!

The festivals in the capital are different from those in the countryside, although Yun Xiaoshui has also been in the capital for more than three years, it is the first time to spend the Spring Festival here, because the first two Spring Festivals were spent in Laiwuyun Mansion, the fiefdom.

This time, he used the fireworks he made to render the Spring Festival in the capital of Daqin more beautiful and charming, so that the common people rarely went out of their homes, went to the streets to listen to firecrackers and watch fireworks at the gate of the palace, and were really happy in the constant shock and horror, surprise and surprise.

After the Spring Festival, Yun Xiaoshui brought 50,000 horses from the Wind Thunder Battalion and 50,000 elite police forces chasing the wind, a total of 100,000 horses, and Wind Thunder, Flash, Chasing Wind and Gu Yang followed, temporarily handing over the command of the army and police force left in the capital to Meng Tian and Meng Zheng.

When I came to Dongjiao County, I heard that Xu Fu, who was named an old immortal by Qin Shi Huang, took eight hundred boys and eight hundred virgins from here to build a ship and go to sea, to find immortal mountains, immortals, and immortal medicines, and never returned!

So, Yun Xiaoshui came to the seashore, looking at the vast sea in the distance, and the smoke was misty and he couldn't see the shadow of the fairy mountain, let alone the figure of the immortal. However, Yun Xiaoshui knew that from the Jiaodong Peninsula through the Miaodao Islands in a roughly straight line, to the Liaodong Peninsula was a shortcut by water, and no one had ever walked this shortcut.

"I'll take a walk, learn from Zheng He of later generations, and open up a new sea route." After Yun Xiaoshui decided, he looked everywhere for the craftsman who helped Xu Fu build a big ship. He really found a few, all of them were old shipwrights and fishermen, and they had good shipbuilding skills, especially building big ships.

Under the guidance of Yun Xiaoshui's little knowledge of modern and advanced shipbuilding technology, a ship that is bigger and better than the ship he helped Xu Fu build back then was built.
