Here I recommend a book that I've been reading, "Super Useless Doctor" written by mosquito coils, which is very fun. If you are interested, you can check it out.

As soon as he got up in the morning, Wang Ke felt that the atmosphere at home was different from usual, and everyone was busy. The subordinates ran around, some cleaned around the house, and some kept going back and forth with their clothes.

Wang Ke asked curiously at Dongyue: "Dongyue, what are you doing at home, are you busy all of them?" ”

Dongyue smiled and said, "Husband is really forgetful, isn't this coming to New Year's Day?" Everyone is preparing for the New Year. ”

"New Year's Day?" Wang Ke thought: "Isn't there still a period of time for the Spring Festival?" I couldn't help but ask, "How long is the Spring Festival?" ”

"Spring Festival? What is Chinese New Year? Dongyue asked puzzled.

Wang Ke's face was full of black lines, the people of the Tang Dynasty didn't know about the Spring Festival, but after thinking about it again, Wang Ke was relieved. In ancient times, the Spring Festival had many names, and it was called differently in different eras. In the Tang Dynasty, New Year's Day was the Spring Festival. In modern times, because of the difference between the Gregorian calendar and the old calendar, Wang Ke has become accustomed to recording New Year's Day and Spring Festival as two festivals.

"It's nothing, I'm mistaken." ”

Dong Yue didn't say anything when she saw it, and hurriedly said, "Husband, wash up." If it weren't for the fact that the husband was still sleeping just now, the concubine would have already started to clean up. ”

Only then did Wang Ke know that he was sleeping lazy, but he delayed Dongyue to clean up their own room. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he said to Dongyue: "You clean up, I'll go to the front and take a look." ”

While walking, Wang Ke was still thinking, this is the New Year, I have to buy some firecrackers to put off, I must put enough! In later generations, firecrackers were banned everywhere in the city, and for several years, Wang Ke did not let it go. When the Tang Dynasty came, Wang Ke's heart also became active, knowing that there was no ban in this era, he really had to be happy. Thinking about this, Wang Ke looked for a housekeeper in the front yard, and he rarely put money on him because he didn't buy anything on weekdays. If he wants to buy firecrackers, he has to find a housekeeper to pay for it.

After searching for a while, Wang Ke found the housekeeper in a corner by the gate and saw the housekeeper picking up a bundle of bamboo. Wang Ke didn't bother to ask the housekeeper what he was doing, so he stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wang, get me some money in the account, and I'll go to the street to buy some firecrackers." ”

The housekeeper looked at Wang Ke and asked curiously, "Young Master, what are firecrackers?" The old man hasn't heard of it. ”

"Oh, firecrackers are firecrackers, but they're called differently." Wang Ke said disappreciably.

The housekeeper still didn't understand, and asked again, "What are firecrackers?" ”

Only then did Wang Ke begin to face up to this problem. Uncle Wang is not too young, and he doesn't know anything about what he said, which is a problem.

So he squatted down and asked, "Uncle Wang, how do you spend the New Year, what do you call the kind of thing that sounds 'crackling'?" ”

When Wang Ke said this, the housekeeper understood a little, patted the bamboo pole in his hand and said, "The young master is talking about the explosive rod." How can this thing be sold, it is all made by themselves. This immortal is doing it. ”

Wang Ke was interested now, he didn't expect this firecracker to evolve like this, no wonder it used to be called firecrackers, it was really made of bamboo, and he hurriedly asked: "Is there a good one?" Put one in and take a look. ”

The housekeeper took out one from behind him, with four or five bamboo knots long, and said to Wang Ke: "Young master, go outside, and the old man will show you." ”

Saying that, he and Wang Ke walked out of the mansion. In an open space outside the door, the butler put down the blaster and pulled the flint out of his body. Wang Ke looked at it and thought to himself, when will this be fought? He took out his lighter and handed it over. The housekeeper had seen Wang Ke use this thing many times, and he had seen it, so he took it and lit the blast rod and retreated to Wang Ke's side.

Wang Ke stood outside the gate of the mansion and looked at it from a distance, but only heard a very small sound, Wang Ke opened his mouth and looked at the housekeeper in surprise, and only after a while did he ask, "It's so loud?" ”

The housekeeper said proudly: "Our family's voice is quite loud. This is still the old man willing to put gunpowder. If other people are reluctant, the voice is much quieter than ours. ”

When Wang Ke heard this, he was almost depressed. What is this thing called, just make a loud fart, and say it's loud. According to this statement, the sound of firecrackers in later generations must not scare these people to death.

With a move in his heart, he beckoned to the housekeeper and said, "Uncle Wang, take me to see your gunpowder." ”

After Wang Ke returned to the palace, the housekeeper had not dealt with Wang Ke much, and today he saw that the young master was so interested in his own matter, and he became proud, and hurriedly led Wang Ke to the place where he was working just now, grabbed a handful of powdery things from a sack, and came to Wang Ke and said, "Young master, you see, this is gunpowder." It's all the old man's own matching. ”

Wang Ke saw that black was not black, yellow was not yellow, and his heart was not very comfortable.

Wang Ke was a soldier and knew that there were several ways to mix gunpowder. The black powder used to make firecrackers is the simplest proportion, but the explosion is extremely powerful. In the military, it is now used less, because its safety factor is too low. However, there are still many people in the folk who will use it, after all, the preparation is simple, and it is still very lethal to blast something. I grabbed a little bit of it, sprinkled it on the ground, and used a lighter to see a puff of yellow smoke pass by, leaving a lot of residue on the ground.

Wang Ke shook his head and said to the housekeeper: "Uncle Wang, you can't do this gunpowder, there are too many impurities, the power is too small, and the sound of this explosive rod is not loud." ”

Uncle Wang stared at Wang Ke, although he was a little unconvinced, he didn't dare to reply. It's not because Wang Ke is a young master, and Uncle Wang is also an old man in the Wang family, but Wang Si is also polite when he sees him. It's just because Uncle Wang knows that this young master has too many strange things, and he said that his gunpowder is not good, so he must know a better preparation method than this, and he can't help but feel a little itchy in his heart.

I think, whoever makes the blast is nothing more than to listen to a sound, and the louder the sound, the better. Who can not be tempted by the louder ones who are better than they are now. But he didn't know the preparation method of gunpowder that the young master said, so he couldn't help but open his mouth and said: "Young master, why don't you tell the old man how to prepare your gunpowder, and the old man will make some more preparations." ”

"No way!" Wang Ke didn't think about it and refused: "This gunpowder is too powerful to prepare, and it will kill people when used in the military, I must not tell you!" ”

Wang Ke was a soldier and was very sensitive to this kind of thing, as long as it came to military use, he instinctively refused.

At this time, Uncle Wang couldn't imagine that Wang Ke had so much, and after Wang Ke said that his gunpowder was not good, all he wanted was to let Wang Ke tell him the formula of his gunpowder, and wanted to hear how loud the sound was. But now Wang Ke refused to tell him the method of mixing gunpowder, and he felt a little discouraged.

But after all, he is an old man, and if he doesn't tell himself, it doesn't mean that he can't let Wang Ke do something, so he said: "Young master, why don't you deserve to come out." Our family is going to have to make a big noise this year! ”

Wang Ke actually had an itch in his heart, but he refused to say the matching method because he was an instinctive reaction to become a soldier. Now when the butler said this, he was moved, and could not help asking, "Saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal!" ”

The housekeeper saw that the young master was asking something, and knew that there was a door, so he hurriedly agreed: "Yes, there are all." If it's not enough, just go out and buy it right away. ”

Wang Ke saw that everything was ready, so he said: "Grind them all into powder for me, pack them and send them to my room, and then find a weighing scale." ”

So saying, he went back to his house. Dongyue in the house has already cleaned up the profits, Wang Ke just entered the house with the front foot, and the housekeeper on the back foot followed, put the things Wang Ke asked for on the table, and stood aside, which means that he still wants to stay to see how Wang Ke is matched.

Wang Ke ruthlessly kicked the housekeeper out, closed the door tightly, and did it himself. Wang Ke was familiar with the preparation of this black powder, and after a while, he opened the door and walked out, holding a small bowl of prepared gunpowder in his hand.

The housekeeper looked at this little and said regretfully: "This is not enough to make a burst rod." ”

Wang Ke was almost startled when he heard this. With the amount of this small bowl, I can't use up the few rooms I live in, and this Uncle Wang is still too little, I'm afraid it's not enough to make a blasting rod.

Wang Ke didn't argue with the housekeeper, came to the pile of bamboos in the front yard, chose a bamboo tube the size of a little finger, and said to the housekeeper: "Uncle Wang, let's try this first, let you hear how loud this sound is." ”

The housekeeper took the gunpowder and poured it into the bamboo tube, Wang Ke hurriedly stopped it, and said in his heart: "Oh, drop a god, if you want to fill the entire bamboo tube like this, then it will be repaid, and people will not live!" ”

Wang Ke had no choice but to do it himself, poured out what Uncle Wang had poured in, and only left a little bit in the bamboo tube, and asked Uncle Wang to bring some rags and rotten paper, sprinkle a little gunpowder in the paper to make a lead, and stuff it into the bamboo tube. Fill in the empty space with rags, and take it to the door.

Uncle Wang followed behind, and when he saw that Wang Ke had lit the fuse and wanted to move forward, Wang Ke grabbed it and ran back to the door of the house.

This is also the first time Wang Ke has made a burst rod, and I don't know if this lead burns fast or slowly, so the lead left is a little long.

The two of them stood in front of the door of the house, and saw that the lead was long and not burned, Wang Ke said to himself: "It's a little longer, and next time it can be shorter." ”

Uncle Wang didn't hear it clearly, so he asked, "Young Master, what are you talking about?" ”

Wang Ke turned his head to look at him and said, "I said that this lead is long, and you can make it shorter next time." ”

Uncle Wang nodded.

Just as the two were talking, there was a loud bang, and the fragments of the blast rod flew in all directions, and the smell of burning gunpowder with yellow smoke rushed to their faces. Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that such a little bit of gunpowder would have such a big movement, which was even more powerful than his full bamboo tube of gunpowder.

When the people in the house heard the sound, they also ran out.

Mrs. Wang ran out in a panic and asked repeatedly, "What's going on, such a loud noise?" ”

Wang Ke hurriedly comforted: "Mother, it's okay, it's just a blast pole." ”

"Burst rod?" Mrs. Wang didn't believe it: "In previous years, there was no such big movement in the blasting rod. Ke'er, you can't be a liar. ”

Wang Ke was helpless, so he had to push the housekeeper who had not woken up yet.

Only then did the butler recover from the shock just now, and said tremblingly, "Madam, what a blaster. It's just that this gunpowder is newly prepared by the young master, so it makes such a loud noise. ”

When Mrs. Wang saw that the housekeeper also said the same, she was relieved. Turning around, he said as he walked, "It's so loud that it scares me to death." I thought something was wrong. ”

The people who came around, the women were busy doing things and left one after another, but the men didn't see it just now, and they encouraged the housekeeper Uncle Wang to put another one for them to see.

Uncle Wang looked at Wang Ke, Wang Ke understood what the housekeeper meant, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, you go and do it." Don't pretend too much, or it won't be good if something happens. Also, be careful when you do it, you can't have a fire next to it, otherwise something will happen!"

Uncle Wang hurriedly agreed, and ran to do it without spending money.

Wang Ke walked back to his room with his hands behind his back, and he had to put the rest of the things in his hands. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good.

As soon as he finished cleaning up, he heard a rush of footsteps rushing towards his room. When I went out, I saw that it was a subordinate. As soon as the visitor saw Wang Ke, he said: "Young master, it's not good, a team of officers and soldiers came, and they were asking what was going on just now outside the gate of the mansion, and Steward Wang explained that they didn't believe it and wanted to arrest Steward Wang." Master, go and take a look. ”

Wang Ke hurriedly ran to the door, and when the officer leading the team saw Wang Ke, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted and saluted: "Wang Changshi, I don't know what the reason for the loud noise just now." Cheng Dashuai ordered the mark to come and inquire. ”

As soon as Wang Ke heard it, he knew that it was the men of the Right Guard. Hurriedly picked up the officer and said, "It's really a blast, but the gunpowder has been changed by me, so the sound is much louder than before." If the general doesn't believe it, you can put another one and try it with the general. ”

The officer hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that the sound is too loud, and it's completely different from the blasting rod, so it's 。。。。。。 ”

Wang Ke knew that these people wouldn't really believe it if they didn't see the real guy, so he didn't explain anymore, and motioned to the housekeeper to get a good one, and said to the officer: "Trouble the general to ask the brothers to back down a little, this explosive rod is powerful, be careful not to hurt it." ”

With that, he pulled the officer backwards and walked to his own safety. A group of soldiers laughed when they saw that the officers had retreated, and they all retreated behind Wang Ke and the officers, and they all laughed when they saw the butler light the explosive rod and run.

Wang Ke glanced at them and thought to himself, "Laughing? You won't be able to laugh for a while. ”

Sure enough, as soon as the blast exploded, everyone was stunned.

Wang Ke said to the officer who led the team: "The general has seen it, it's really the sound of a blast." ”

The officer looked at Wang Ke in amazement, and then looked at the place where Wang's butler and the explosive rod exploded, and without saying a word, he bowed his hand to Wang Ke, turned over his horse, and walked straight away with the soldiers.

Wang Ke knew that this matter was a big problem, and there would definitely be someone coming after a while, and he didn't care about the others, so he only let the housekeeper do it himself, and he came to the front hall to do it, waiting for someone else to come to him.

It didn't take much effort for Wang Ke to see Cheng Lao Kill Cai and Wei Chi Jingde breaking in.

Wang Ke hurriedly got up and saluted: "The two uncles are here, it must be for the sake of the pole." ”

Cheng Lao killed only when he saw Wang Ke talking about it himself, and said directly without asking much: "I heard that the virtuous nephew has changed the gunpowder formula, and the power is huge. I wonder if you can show us? ”

Wang Ke took the two to Steward Wang's place, grabbed a little gunpowder and said, "This is this thing, because the color is relatively black, so the little nephew calls it black gunpowder." Once ignited, the explosion was extremely powerful. ”

Cheng Zhijie and the two looked at each other curiously, and after glancing at each other, Cheng Zhijie said, "I don't know if this recipe can be told to others?" ”

Wang Ke understood that these two old killers had already thought of using this black powder for military purposes, so he said seriously: "The little nephew knows that this gunpowder is very important, and he doesn't dare to leak it in the slightest. For now, these are also prepared by the little nephew himself, and he doesn't dare to fake his hands to others. ”

Cheng Zhijie grabbed Wang Ke and said, "That's good, now let's go to see the emperor and report this matter to the emperor." ”

Wang Ke pushed Cheng Zhijie away and took his hand, so he said in embarrassment: "Uncle, forgive me." Now that the festival is coming, there are a lot of things going on at home. In addition, there are a lot of things to do to marry the princess, and the little nephew is really too busy. Otherwise, it's not too late to talk to the emperor about this matter in the next year. ”

Cheng Zhijie was stunned for a moment, and Wei Chi Jingde spoke: "Also, this pharmacist has just left, and the emperor is too busy, and the New Year has arrived, and now I can't take care of this matter." It's not bad to talk to the emperor after the New Year. ”

Turning his head to look at Wang Ke, he said again: "It's just this explosive rod, the virtuous nephew and I have to send some, so that the old man can also listen to this loud sound." ”

Wang Ke now only begged not to go into the palace to see Comrade Li Er, it was not a trivial matter to ask for this explosive rod, and he hurriedly agreed.

Only after sending these two old killers out of the door, did they come back and asked the housekeeper Uncle Wang to do more, and when the time came, they sent some to Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chi Jingde's house, turned around and was just about to leave, and then turned around and ordered Li Ke to take some more.

Uncle Wang said in embarrassment: "Young master, if you send it like this, this gunpowder is not enough." ”

Wang Ke waved his hand and said, "I'll deserve some more." It's just that you have to go there yourself when you send it, and you must explain the power of this gunpowder and let them pay attention to safety. ”
