Da Niu ran into the house, searched for a while, and finally found a piece of copper and brought it to Qin Shaochu. "Qin Gongzi, look, is this what you need?"

Qin Shaochu took the copper block and nodded, "Yes, Da Niu, this is the copper I need, but I need you to help me melt it and make a hollow stick, do you think it can be done?" ”

"Yes, Gongzi Qin, but I need time," Da Niu thought about it and nodded and said

"It's okay, Da Niu, I'm not in a hurry, you take your time," Qin Shaochu didn't urge Da Niu to make it for him immediately.

On the ground, Qin Shaochu drew the appearance that needed to be made by Da Niu with this copper block.

Da Niu nodded when he saw it, "Don't worry." I will do it as soon as possible."

This big bull said the steps, and the next day, Qin Shaochu took more than a dozen people and went to Qiantang County and found Liu Dong.

When Liu Dong saw Qin Shaochu coming, he "hurriedly called someone to help unload the things on the ox cart." "Qin Gongzi, I have never seen this thing, is it the Quyuan plough you are talking about?"

Qin Shaochu replied; "Yes, Brother Liu, this is what I said about Quyuan plow, let's let people move over first, and then I will ask someone to tell you."

Liu Dong nodded, as the so-called number of people is powerful, it didn't take long to unload all the things on the ox cart.

Qin Shaochu followed Liu Dong to the hundred acres of fertile land. "Brother Liu, I'll ask someone to show you this quyuan plow now."

Qin Shaochu called one of his own villagers and nodded to him. The villager did not hesitate, and directly placed the Quyuan plow, and behind the ox, with a wave of the rope, the ox walked up with the Quyuan plow. A ravine also appeared in the ground.

When Liu Dong saw this, he was surprised by Qin Shaochu's Quyuan plow, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to use. "Haha, Qin Gongzi, with this thing, we can speed up the reclamation of the land. You're amazing. ”

"Hehe, it's nothing", Qin Shaochu smiled.

The villager also stopped with his oxen. Qin Shaochu began to arrange manpower and vigorously cultivated the field.

A dozen cows were found, each with a zigzag plough behind it, and with a wave of the rope of a dozen people, the cows moved. Seeing that the villagers and workers were cultivating the land, Qin Shaochu looked at Liu Dong and left here.

Qin Shaochu thought for a while and said to Liu Dong, "Brother Liu, since their side has already started, then let's go and see the land in the east." ”

"Okay, Gongzi Qin, let's go" Liu Dong asked Qin Shaochu to walk in front of him.

After walking for a few minutes, the two came to the land in the east, Qin Shaochu looked around and found that this side was indeed very suitable for planting fruit trees. Then he nodded, "Brother Liu, come here and take a look, this is indeed a good place to plant fruit trees, so be it." ”

"Okay, I'll call someone to dig a pit later, and when the time comes, I'll plant it vigorously.

In the morning, Qin Shaochu followed Liu Dong to watch everywhere, and Qin Shaochu found that he had almost said something to Liu Dong, so he didn't talk about these things. I had to say something else without saying a word.

Soon two days passed, and on Liu Dong's side, all the land was reclaimed, and Qin Shaochu asked someone to release water into the field, waiting for the water to cover the field. before stopping.

After a few days, Qin Shaochu asked someone to release water, and when the soil was almost dry, he began to sow seeds.

After six days, the reclamation, the sowing was completed. The next step is to wait for the seeds to germinate.

Of course, the fruit trees in the east did not stop, and all the planting was completed on this day. Qin Shaochu breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Seeing that the seeds were sown and the saplings over there were also planted, Qin Shaochu explained a few words to Liu Dong. left here, and Qin Shaochu rushed back to Baijia Village.

walked directly to Da Niu's house, Da Niu saw Qin Shaochu coming, and said excitedly, "Qin Gongzi, look." ”

Qin Shaochu saw the copper pipe in Da Niu's hand, "Yes, that's right, that's it, Da Niu, you are so powerful"

Hehe, Da Niu touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

After chatting with Da Niu for a few words, Qin Shaochu hurriedly returned home. As soon as he entered the door, Qin Shaochu took out the sulfur, potassium nitrate, and charcoal that he asked people to find, and Qin Shaochu carefully placed them in a small pot.

Qin Shaochu began to experiment on his own. It's a pity that after trying for a long time, Qin Shaochu found that it was useless. I couldn't help but be disappointed.

I just sat on a stool and thought, is there something wrong with me? Slowly, Qin Shaochu patted his head, damn, I thought of it, 1 tael of nitrate, 1.4 yuan of sulfur, and 1.8 yuan of willow charcoal. Saltpeter is 75%, sulfur is 11%, and charcoal is 14%.

After speaking, Qin Shaochu began to do it again. After three tests, Qin Shaochu finally made a firearm bullet.

Qin Shaochu wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, just like that, a day passed, Qin Shaochu made ten fire bullets, looking at these ten fire bullets, Qin Shaochu smiled.

Okay, let's make ten first, and now let's start making muskets. Qin Shaochu found a container for a clay urn to be used as a firecracker to load bullets.

Then the production of the musket began. Qin Shaochu did not do exactly what he did in the Southern Song Dynasty, but combined his previous knowledge to make improvements. Doing it slowly, it took more than an hour, and a fire gun was successfully made by Qin Shaochu.

Looking at this firecracker, Qin Shaochu laughed, "Haha, guns are a man's dream." Looking at the musket gun in his hand, Qin Shaochu thought about whether to test the power of this gun.

Qin Shaochu walked out of the village and came to a remote place. Looking at the five-meter tree inside, Qin Shaochu picked up the fire gun and aimed and shot. With Peng's sound, the bullet hit the big tree's body, and Qin Shaochu almost fell to the ground because he didn't calculate the recoil of the gun.

White smoke came from the muzzle of the musket. Qin Shaochu looked at the big tree and found that the bullet actually punched a hole in the trunk of the big tree.

'Haha, awesome, awesome. "Qin Shaochu thought at heart, this bullet can leave such a big pit on a big tree, if it hits a person's body, tsk,"

Soon Qin Shaochu shook his head, feeling that his thoughts were not true, "After all, there is no fire gun in this Tang Dynasty period, if I take it out directly, it is seen by others and reported to the government, then I will be killed." ”

When Qin Shaochu thought of this, he didn't dare to think about it, "Forget it, it's better to hide it yourself, don't tell others first." ”

Leaving here, Qin Shaochu returned to the village. Of course, Qin Shaochu now felt that he had a gun, and he seemed to be more confident, raised his head, and walked very arrogantly.

As soon as he got home, Qin Shaochu put the fire gun in his room, and then walked out of the house humming a small tune.

The other villagers looked at Qin Shaochu actually humming a small tune, and felt a little strange in their hearts, you must know that in this year, Qin Shaochu has never been like this.

Qin Shaochu ignored the doubts of the villagers and continued to walk.
