Xia Lao nodded and said, "What the husband said at the beginning was indeed biased. ”

After playing for a while, Xia Sun threw the clairvoyant mirror in his hand to Xia Lao, not that she had played enough, but that this thing was too heavy and sore in her hand.

"Look at this season, the rice in this field should be almost ripe! Husband, is the rice on this mountain ripening later or earlier than the rice under the mountain? ”

Xia Lao smiled: "It's no different, but because of Wu Zheng's automatic fertilization system, the growth of rice on this mountain is better than that of the old farmers under the mountain." ”

"Fertiliser system? Where did the new term come from, and why had the concubine never heard it before? Is it a new thing that Wu Jialang made again? ”

"That's inevitable, except for the man who would invent such a strange word. But it's not easy for others to learn if they want to. Madame, do you know? This terraced rice field may seem simple, but in fact it is a hidden mystery. Fortunately, the old man took a look at it in person, and he set out these doorways from that son's mouth, otherwise if Huang Ji was allowed to blindly promote it, then a good thing would become a bad thing. ”

"What about that?"

This is a long story, which involves the problems of water conservancy and soil erosion, and it will not be clear for a while. Huang Zhongming wants to promote the terraced fields throughout Yuzhou, and he is afraid that it will not be possible if he does not send people to Shenmu Mountain to learn from them. ”

"So what are you waiting for? Don't hurry up and ask him to send someone to study, the concubine really wants to see such a wonder of the world spread on the mountains and rivers of my Great Zhou as soon as possible, so that the people of Great Zhou can stay away from hunger one day sooner. ”

Xia Lao nodded and said, "Why don't you think so often as a husband?" But not now, this matter has to be postponed for a while. ”

"Why?" Xia Sun's volume suddenly increased a little, looked at Xia Lao and asked, "Don't you want to give him some moths again!" Don't forget that you didn't get a good deal every time, and you tried so many times, didn't you find out? Wu Zheng is different from others, and the methods you are proud of will not work on him, but will make the two of you go further and further. ”

"Is it so unbearable for a lady to be a husband in your heart? I'm not worried about that, it's that something big might be happening in the near future. ”

"Big deal, what's big deal?"

"Madam, haven't you noticed that the soldiers at the head of Yuzhou City have changed?"

Xia Sun shook his head and said with a straight face: "The concubine didn't pay attention. ”

Xia Lao continued: "It's all replaced by His Majesty's pro-army, and there is also a Yulin Guard, and you haven't noticed such a big movement?" ”

"The concubine only stares at the firewood, oil, and salt at home every day, where is the time to look up and see what changes have changed in the city? However, you just came to the soldiers in Yuzhou City, Your Majesty's pro-army and even Yu Linwei, what is Your Majesty going to do? House arrest for you? Impossible! That's to protect you, but we're too peaceful in Yuzhou City......"

Xia Sun's muttering was not finished, and suddenly he seemed to think of a terrible thing, looked up at his husband and said, "Could it be that something is going to happen in Chengdu Mansion?" ”

Xia Lao nodded silently and sighed: "I don't know exactly what happened now, if Luo Qin sent us a letter in the last few days...... That should be something wrong. ”

At this moment, Xia San hurriedly ran in from outside the courtyard, and as soon as he arrived at the moon gate, he saw Xia Lao and his wife in the garden, and just wanted to speak, but saw Xia Lao speak first: "What's wrong?" Did Luo Qin send a letter? ”

Xia San swallowed his saliva to let himself breathe, and then took out the letter and said, "How do you know, master?" This is an eight-hundred-mile rush from Luo Xiang from the Shendu. ”

Xia Lao took the letter but glanced at his wife, revealing a look that was really like a look and opened the letter and looked at it, Xia Sun couldn't help but ask, "What's on the letter?" ”

"Xia San, go down first!"

After waving Xia San away, Xia Lao said: "Our Majesty can't bear it anymore after enduring it for so many years, and he is going to go to war with others." ”

"How is this possible?"

"Songzan of Tuyuhun wants to take our Princess Mingyue, will your majesty agree or not?"

Xia Sun was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Is Songzan Jiji crazy?" Who doesn't know that Your Majesty only has such a daughter, how can Your Majesty agree? ”

"This is not the most important thing, the important thing is that I want to know who is behind the scenes to instigate Songtsen to sue Jigan for such a stupid thing. Today's Tuyuhun, Uighur, and Tatar relations are not as good as they were fifty years ago. As soon as Tuyuhun started a war with my Great Zhou, he was not afraid that the Uighurs would copy his home from behind, and you must know that once the Longyou Road was in the hands of the Uighurs, the trade route to the countries of the Western Regions would all fall into the hands of the Uighurs. ”

……

Today is the day of the handover of gunpowder, Qin Xiang came to Shenmu Village early, this time he did not ride a horse but chose to take a boat.

If a thousand catties of gunpowder are horse-drawn, it will have to be pulled until when, but now it is replaced by the kind of cargo ship specially made by Shenmu Village, but it does not need a boat, at this time, I can also go back with a little more Shenmu Village's specialty, such as the steel and fire of the crane beak pickaxe is a good local product of Shenmu Village, and then go down the river with less than half to reach Yuzhou City.

A thousand catties of gunpowder were all made into explosives bags by Wu Zheng, neatly stacked on the boat, looking at such a package Qin Xiang felt very novel, and couldn't help but joke at Wu Zheng: "Brother Wu, our business is above board, can we use it so secretly?" I don't know, I thought I pulled a boatload of bedding! ”

Wu Zheng smiled slightly, and didn't take a gunpowder bag directly from the hand that was transporting gunpowder to the boat, found the fuse rope on it and pulled it, the fuse rope began to smoke, and then Wu Zheng threw it into the river hard, and after a while, it exploded with a loud bang.

Looking at Qin Xiang's stunned look behind him, Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Qin, what do you think of the effect of these futons I sold you now?" ”

"This ...... How is this done? ”

"I've never seen such a big cannon!"

"No, how can I pull this thing in one pull?"

Why did it catch on as soon as it was pulled, of course, because Wu Zheng made a pull cannon with thunder mercury at the front end of the fuse, first used twine to pull and blow up a small amount of thunder mercury inside, and then used the exploded thunder mercury to ignite the gunpowder in the back of the firerope.

After the successful trial of this cannon, Wu Zheng was wondering if he could start making grenades.

But now Wu Zheng won't do the same with Qin Xiang, he just smiled and said: "This is my exclusive secret recipe, do you think it's appropriate for you to ask this?" ”

"Ugh! Brother Wu, don't blame Qin for being rude just now. ”

"You're welcome, who is with whom our brothers! But I can't really do this secret recipe, but what! Brother Qin, what would happen if you took these gunpowder that I sold to you instead of using it to open mountains and build roads, but put it on the city wall? ”

"On the wall?"

"That's right! You have seen the power of this explosion just now, if you throw it into the pile, will you kill people? ”

Qin Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he actually grabbed Wu Zheng's hand directly and said excitedly: "Brother Wu, can I ask for more gunpowder bags like you?" ”

"A little more? Yes! But...... Shouldn't you explain to me first, why did you buy me a boatload of pickaxes in addition to this thousand catties of medicine, and you went to Yuzhou instead of going back to your Chengdu Mansion directly from here? Could it be that you want to turn them all into steel knives and carry them around? Your right guards are so short of weapons? What is this for! 166 Reading Network
