Zhou Nan asked again: "Then there are fireworks in this Liao country?" Lao Zheng said: "Huh? Da Lang is well-informed, even the little old man has only seen it in Tokyo City, and he has not been to Yanjing and other places, but he doesn't know if there are fireworks sold in this Liao country. Fireworks are very expensive, and they are things that explode and disperse, and people in Liao will not sell them. ”

Zhou Nan wanted to know to what extent the Song Dynasty people were skilled in making fireworks and using gunpowder, so he asked: "What kind of fireworks did Dr. Zheng see in Tokyo in the Southern Dynasty?" ”

Lao Zheng Tou said: "There are too many tricks, I can't say it completely for a while, I just remember that there are two immortals wishing birthdays, fish jumping over the dragon gate, using that kind of special big explosion to go to the sky, in the extremely high place the medicine cylinder was scattered by the explosion, the color is different, it is really like an immortal flying in the air, and it must be hidden." ”

Zhou Nan's heart was excited, gunpowder has been used so badly in this year, and it can control the amount of gunpowder to make fireworks with various patterns, what a great era! The Song Dynasty should also be a great dynasty, it just didn't know what to do, and it knew how to coax the emperor's officials and family to be happy.

Zhou Nan already knew from what Lao Zheng Tou said that just by being able to launch very large firecrackers into the air, accurately control the amount of medicine and fuse time, and make fireworks with various exquisite patterns, it shows that the Song Dynasty at this time had mastered the black powder technology. It's just that these idlers don't do their jobs, and they have gunpowder, but they use it to do what they do. This kind of technology, which can open up the weapon generation gap with the enemy, is long overdue. But now that he has him, he will not let go of the opportunity to take advantage of the existing technology of the Song Dynasty. And he doesn't have to bother with research, as long as he finds these craftsmen and under his guidance, he can improve the protection ability of the cottage exponentially.

In real history, gunpowder weapons were not developed and used until the Southern Song Dynasty. However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was the Jin Dynasty and the Mongol armies that led the advanced trend of gunpowder weapons. The use of gunpowder weapons by the Jin Dynasty and the Mongol armies far exceeded that of the Southern Song Dynasty, and gunpowder weapons were no longer the leading technology in the Song Dynasty, but were surpassed by two neighbors.

At this time in the Northern Song Dynasty, although gunpowder weapons had been studied in the imperial court's firearms, more than a dozen varieties of various weapons had been researched, but they had not attracted enough attention, so they had not been really promoted. Zhou Nan thought of the eleven craftsmen of the Northern Song Dynasty who were held hostage by the bandits, and after waiting for a few days, it was necessary to find out about these eleven craftsmen to see if any of these people could make gunpowder, if there were, it would be simple, if not, then he could only go into battle by himself and personally guide to see if he could make a batch of gunpowder weapons in Sanssouci Village in case of urgent need. After all, Sanssouci only has the advantage of city defense, and there is no advantage of soldiers.

The four of them guarded the table full of dishes, slowly drinking Tusu wine, Gao Yunyu's muscles were slightly dizzy, Gao Yun stood up and went to the kitchen to Zhang Luo. After a while, Gao Yun put four plates of food on the table with a tray, Zhou Nan looked at the same, and was thundered again: it was actually dumplings, real dumplings, and soup dumplings. Zhou Nan sandwiched one, it is stuffed with wild boar meat, although there are few condiments in the filling, there is no sauce, but it is better in the fragrance and nature, and the aftertaste is endless. This meal, Zhou Nan came to this time and space, and ate the most enjoyable.

I didn't expect that there were dumplings in the Great Song Dynasty, and it seems that you can eat dumplings often in the future.

Gao Yun was very happy to see Zhou Nan eating and devouring it, and said to Zhou Nan softly: "Da Lang eat slowly, Da Lang loves to eat slots, and the slave family will make more for Da Lang to eat in the future." Gao Yuan had dumplings in his mouth and said in a rough voice: "Da Lang can often eat this corner in the future, and I can also be satisfied." It seems that Gao Yuan also likes to eat, but Gao Yuan's words made Gao Yun's face even more flushed for no reason, he couldn't sit still, and got up and went out. Gao Yuan was still unconscious, and he was still happy to eat.

Lao Zheng Tou held a wine bowl in his hand, took a sip, and then laughed weirdly. In this place, it is really overjoyed to be able to eat a meal of dumplings, although it is thicker than the special dumpling powder and special powder wrapped in the special powder of the era before Zhou Nan crossed over, and although it is also wheat flour, the taste is much worse, but it is an authentic dumpling after all. This made Zhou Nan's year have a bit of the flavor of the past.

There were also two lanterns hung in the yard, and Gao Yun also cut patterns with red paper and pasted them on the outside of the lanterns, and the whole yard was beaming. Candles were lit in the room, and the meal had already been withdrawn by the diligent Gao Yun, the tea was replaced, and a plate of fried pine nuts and a plate of fried chestnuts were served as snacks. Four people, old and young, sat around, drinking tea, eating snacks, talking, and unconsciously arrived at the third watch. Outside, there began to be a sound of explosions, and when I looked down from the mountain, there was a little fire shining at the bottom of the mountain, and after a long time there was a little noise. Gradually, there were more voices, and the whole cottage woke up. Although the sun had not yet come out, the excited people had already put on their new clothes and walked out of their homes, leaving only the sleeping children who had been sleepy by the vigil. Although there is no scaffolding in the cottage as Lao Zheng Tou said, there are no juggling and fun things, but it is also done by the mountain people, even if a red paper flower is pasted at the door, it is also a touch of red, and it is also a touch of spring.

The mountain people all came out and swam, saluting and saying auspicious words to each other, and everyone's hearts were full of anticipation and joy. The Chinese people are the most unpretentious, no matter what kind of predicament they are in, they are always full of longing and hope for the future life. The Chinese people are the most patient, no matter how far away the future vision and hope are, they are still silently suffering and waiting for happiness.

Zhou Nan followed behind Gao Yuan and Lao Zhengtou, next to Zhou Nan was Gao Yun, the four of them were also wearing new clothes, Gao Yun also inserted a bead hairpin on his head, and did not apply powder on his face, but his skin was like fat jade, his face was like Ningxia, his eyebrows were like Yuandai, his eyes were like waves, and the robe with a thin waist and long hem highlighted Gao Yun's delicate figure. Gao Yun Chu Chu Na beside him, Zhou Nan suddenly remembered a sentence from Xin Qiji, a great lyricist of this era: "A bright moon and sparse stars, and the shadow of Huansha is graceful." "It's a pity that Xiao Xin won't be born into this world until eighteen years later, so I can't help but feel a little regretful.

The sparse stars in the sky, the willows and willows around him, graceful as poetry, demure as water, Zhou Nan suddenly fell in love with this era. Gao Yun followed him closely, Zhou Nan and the people saluted and blessed, Gao Yun also followed the salute and blessed, the neighbors in the village praised Gao Yun for his immortal figures, and they all praised Zhou Nan's young heroes, young and promising, and the people in the village all entrusted Zhou Nan's blessings to have a good year. When Gao Yun heard this, her face became more and more delicate, and even Zhou Nan was infected by Gao Yun's joy. Looking back at the mountains and standing around, the people in front of him are full of joy, and everyone's faces are full of laughter, which suddenly makes Zhou Nan full of ambition, this is the land where he Zhou Nan wants to live, and he wants to make the people here every day like this. Zhou Nanhun didn't know that Gao Yun secretly looked at him from time to time with tender and sweet eyes and Qianqian's hands tightly pinching his sleeves.

In 1122, it came. At this moment, Zhou Nan had no hesitation in his heart, what he had to do now was to hurry up, build the wall, train the family protection club, protect this side of the people, and protect his return base.
