When Li Chengqian learned that his master and father were digging a canal, he did not hesitate to send a batch of gunpowder and gasoline.

Since the end of the world's attack on the Tang Dynasty, the Thunderbolt Division has been idle for several years. Although gunpowder is extremely powerful in using it to open mountains and crack stones, the proposal to apply gunpowder to people's livelihood has not been approved by the court at all.

When the officials of the whole court are opposed, even if the emperor wants to go his own way, he must be cautious and cautious. And the result of prudence is generally conformity.

This time is different, because the Dragon Tooth Guard is here, the Emperor Taishang is here, and the Protector is here, so the use of gunpowder is not a big deal.

When the fuse is lit, the soldier who lit the fire ran away.

It wasn't long before a dull loud noise came from the canal construction site, and dust was raised and stones were splashed everywhere.

Looking at the blasted land, Li Tai couldn't help but say: "Using gunpowder weapons to open mountains and cracking rocks is much faster than hammers and shovels, why don't those courtiers agree to use gunpowder for projects?" ”

It wasn't until the dust settled that Li Shimin's guards allowed the Emperor Taishang to come out.

Patting Li Tai's head, Li Shimin said: "It is indeed labor-saving for gunpowder to be used in engineering, but if someone with ulterior motives gets it, it will be a bad thing for the security of Datang." Power should have been concentrated by the royal family since ancient times, not to mention gunpowder. Once the gunpowder is overflowing, even if we are already buried in the ground, I am afraid that we will be able to smell the smell of gunpowder. ”

Regarding Li Shimin's words, except for the sentence that his strength was concentrated by the royal family, Leng Feng felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Gunpowder is not terrible, it is the human heart that is terrible. Why does the world have to be divided for a long time? The corruption of the rulers is one reason, and some people are unwilling to be ordinary, and they want to shout "the prince will have a kind of peace" is also a reason.

Patting Li Tai on the shoulder, Leng Feng pointed to the blasted construction site and said, "Don't worry, such days won't last long." You haven't seen anything from the latest experiments of the Thunderbolt Division, and as far as I can see, they are not going down the wrong path, and it won't be long before the power of the weapons produced by the Thunderbolt Division will rise to a new level. When the power of gunpowder is no match for new weapons, gunpowder can be used for engineering. ”

With gunpowder weapons in place, the canal project in Zhuzhou is progressing rapidly.

There are three major heads at the construction site, and Liu Rong deserves to give up his authority and begins to count the scale of the sores affected.

Despite his preparation, when the final result came out, he almost let out a cry of pain.

A sore made Zhuzhou full of holes, and the death ratio of forty percent made him almost collapse.

When they saw the results, everyone was heartbroken. But after the catastrophe, it is useless to dwell on the past, and you always have to think about how to recover.

The news of the surviving group of people in Zhuzhou City spread all over Zhuzhou, but no one dared to look closer, for fear of being infected by the sores patient.

Zhuzhou is still blocked, and the canal is still being excavated.

Two months have passed, and there has not been a single new case in Zhuzhou.

Three months have passed, and Leng Feng, who was inspecting the construction site, suddenly found that there were a few more migrant workers on the construction site.

It was the surviving people and the army in Zhuzhou City who dug the canal, the soldiers were easy to identify, and the surviving people were also very recognizable, so where did these white-faced migrant workers come from?

At the end of the work, the gang began to divide the food, but the extra migrant workers carried their hoes and walked out.

A curious cold front blocked their way.

Although he is also dressed in sackcloth, he knows that he is a big man when he looks at the golden crown of the person in front of him. Therefore, several migrant workers were respectful and bowed.

Looking at their sweat-soaked clothes, Leng Feng asked, "How many of you are the people of the surrounding Zhuangzi, why don't you hide at home and come to the construction site?" ”

A farmer replied: "Master Guan, we all know about Zhuzhou City, and the imperial court is kind, not only came to Zhuzhou to treat diseases, but also helped us open the canal." At the beginning, the old man said that after the canal was opened, Zhuzhou would not be so poor, and the people would be able to live a good life. This canal digging is our job, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court come to help, we can't watch from the sidelines, right? When the sores were there, they hid and hid, and now they haven't seen anyone sick for three months, so they should be fine. Idle is idle, so let's come over and help. ”

Without waiting for Leng Feng to tell them about the survival period of the sores virus, Sun Simiao came over: "Don't worry, stay at the construction site for a while before going home." There is food and shelter on the construction site, you have done your best, and there is nothing to eat and live. ”

Seeing a few farmers grinning and being taken back to the construction site by medical students, Leng Feng frowned and said, "Old Sun, I told you the truth, why do you still persuade them to stay?" ”

Sun Simiao was also sweating, so he simply sat on the ground and said, "Lao Dao thinks that there have been no new additions for two months, which already means that it is fine." There is a lot of rain in Zhuzhou, and even if there are some viruses remaining on the surface, they have disappeared. These peasants came to the construction site to work for a day, and if they contracted sores, they would infect the whole Zhuangzi when they returned. But if not, we don't have to treat ourselves like thieves. ”

I didn't expect Lao Sun to think about it so thoroughly, Leng Feng sighed: "No way, the sores are too terrible for Datang, and I don't hesitate to use time to ensure that the sores disappear." But since you want to try it, give it a try. ”

There is a lot of work on the construction site, and it is the most laborious, but the treatment on the construction site is also very good, not to mention that the food is full, and even the meat is one meal every two days.

Half a month has passed, and the new old farmers have no signs of illness.

With a few, there are a dozen.

The construction site did not refuse to allow anyone to join, so the people of the surrounding Zhuangzi overcame their fears and joined the project with hoes.

One thousand, two thousand.

When almost 10,000 people joined, the logistics officer had to report to the officer, and the supplies were insufficient.

With so many people joining, the progress of the project has taken another leap forward.

In a year's time, the last section of the canal was blasted open by gunpowder, and the raging water poured into the ditch.

Seeing the opening of the canal, the people on both sides of the river cheered in unison.

Liu Rong burst into tears, turned his head and said to Li Shimin: "Emperor Taishang, the canal is opened, and Zhuzhou will always be able to slowly become rich." ”

On the other side, Leng Feng was accepting Lao Sun's white eyes.

As it turned out, it didn't take a year and a half for the sores to disappear.

This is unreasonable, Datang, which does not have advanced inspection equipment, Leng Feng feels that all he can rely on is time.

Only time can reduce the danger to zero.

However, since the old way has proved the disappearance of the sores, then there is no need to hold on for the last half a year.

The canal has been opened, and Zhuzhou will slowly be able to improve people's livelihood with the help of river transportation.

A sore has caused a terrible wound on the land, but over time, the wound will slowly heal.
