Open the back cover, wrap your fingers around the fine hemp rope under the wooden handle, pull it violently, and a small piece of yellow and clear copper wire was pulled out of the wooden handle, and some fine broken glass powder was brought out, and at the same time, a faint green smoke came out of the small hole under it.

"It's on, it's on, it's lit without fire, look at it, sir!" Zhang Wuliu took the wooden-handled grenade with the string and handed it to Ma Du's eyes, "It's amazing, look at it, sir!" ”

Madu was going crazy, he waved his arms, "I know! Can you fucking throw it away! He hurriedly pulled Lao Zhu on his back and turned around.

Zhang Wuliu really did not disappoint him, Ma Du clearly heard the sound of the wooden-handled grenade falling into the trench, and then heard a faint muffled sound behind him.

Lao Zhu turned around and waved his hand, Han Chengcheng took down the knife on Zhang Wuliu's neck, he picked up the wooden-handled grenade on the ground that had not been completely blown up and asked Ma Du, "Is that the power?" ”

"Of course not, this one is only filled with a little gunpowder, in order to show the prince the effect of ignition. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to let such a fool throw it. ”

Lao Zhu looked at Zhang Wuliu who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "That's true, but is there anything full of gunpowder?" ”

Jiao Yu handed another one up, "Lord Wang, this one is filled with enough gunpowder." ”

Lao Zhu took it, looked at it carefully, suddenly opened the back cover, pulled out the copper wire suddenly, and threw it out as soon as he raised his hand. The first time I threw a grenade, because my mental quality was not up to par, there were more people who threw it directly under their feet.

Lao Zhu turned his head and asked Ma Du, "Why don't you make a sound?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a bang, Lao Zhu came out of the trench, looked at the large puff of smoke and dust rising from the place where the grenade landed, and laughed: "Okay, it's good!" It's really convenient to use, and it's not small. ”

Jiao Yu said: "Lord Ma specially asked his subordinates to replace it with granular gunpowder, although it is said that there is less gunpowder, but the power is not reduced at all. The key is that it is easy to use, and even the number of dumb fires has decreased. ”

Lao Zhu nodded, "With this thing, when the soldiers attack the city, they don't have to bite the fire to climb the city wall, hurry up and make a batch and send it to Tanghe." By the way, this thing is expensive. ”

Jiao Yu replied: "It is indeed higher than the cost of the previous kind of thunderbolt, but the final cost has not yet been determined." He looked at Madu, "Because the price of glass powder has not been negotiated yet." ”

Lao Zhu looked at Ma Du, "Oh? What price are you going to sell to Lonely! ”

Ma Du said with a smile: "Your Majesty naturally can't open your mouth to the prince and lion, not much, not much, one tael of silver and one catty, one catty can make more than a hundred grenades, and each grenade is only an increase in the cost of ten cents, even if it is 10,000, it is only the cost of one hundred taels." ”

Lao Zhu laughed when he heard this, "Lone asked you to improve the thunderbolt, but you took the opportunity to make a fortune, and now you even see the profit of a few pennies in your eyes, and you want to earn Lonely's silver." Hum! That's a good job! ”

Speaking of Lao Zhu, there is actually no money to be made here, in the words of later generations, Ma Du is just trying to establish a win-win partnership with Lao Zhu.

I sincerely hope that Lao Zhu can change the bandit logic of "mine is mine, yours is still mine", and don't help him keep something at every turn, otherwise he really doesn't have the heart to do any inventions.

"The prince only said that he asked his subordinates to improve the thunderbolts, and did not let his subordinates make glazed ware. So now this improved grenade is yours, and the glazed workshop is for your subordinates and a few colleagues. ”

Who knew that Lao Zhu actually nodded, "You're right, but you forgot that the mine that can produce white stones is lonely!" ”

Ma Du continued to dig a hole in the deepest part of his mind, buried the ridiculous thoughts before, and then lurked on Lao Zhu, and tried to buy Lao Zhu with the shares of the glass workshop.

Fortunately, he failed, Lao Zhu is destined to be the man who wants to be the emperor, and the whole world is his, so he will not take this star in his eyes.

Lao Zhu left Fangshan, but left Zhu Xiaosi behind, saying that he would not let him go back if he could not learn. Ma Du felt that with Zhu Xiaosi's style of study, this dog skin plaster could not be shaken off. Zhu Xiaosi not only came by himself, but also brought two people.

One is named Luo Furen, it is said that it was originally edited by Chen Youliang, but later he felt that Chen Youliang was unreliable, so he switched to Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu stayed by his side as a staff member.

He came to Madu here to teach Zhu Xiaosi to read, and Lao Zhu didn't want Zhu Xiaosi to learn arithmetic but abandoned the scriptures, so he sent Luo Furen over. Luo Furen came to teach for three days every ten days, and the rest of the time he had to go back to the city to work for Lao Zhu.

The one who can be looked at by Lao Zhu definitely has real talent and learning, but this Mr. Luo doesn't look like a Confucian at all, he is an old farmer who is alive and well in terms of face and dress.

If it weren't for the fact that his words were polite and decent, and he popped out a sentence from time to time that he couldn't understand, Ma Du would really be regarded as a pretending person.

Since Lao Zhu sent him to teach Zhu Xiaosi, Ma Du naturally wanted to be entertained, so he asked him to teach Zhu Xiaosi at home. But Luo Furen heard that the Ma family had a school, so he said: "It is better to teach one person than to teach everyone!" ”

No matter how knowledgeable he is, being able to say such a thing is already worthy of Ma Du's respect. To have such a great Confucian to teach the students, Ma Du couldn't ask for it, he happily invited Lao Luo to the school, and then his good impression of Lao Luo came to an abrupt end.

The first thing Lao Luo did was to tear off the curtain of the cloth, and then take the female students home, and then scolded Yuan Jiuli for being immoral and shameless, and even letting men and women sit in the same school to attend classes, and he was not worthy of being a saint disciple.

Yuan Jiuli shouted that he was wronged, and immediately pointed out that Ma Du was the culprit, if he hadn't paid for it, he wouldn't even have this curtain in the middle. When Luo Furen heard this, he immediately turned the muzzle of the cannon and sprayed wildly at Ma Du, the firepower was very powerful, Ma Du didn't even have a chance to fight back, and he was full of anger.

Zhu Xiaosi gloated on the side and patted Ma Du on the shoulder, "Uncle doesn't have to feel wronged, my father is often so angry with him that he can't eat." ”

I wiped it, it turned out to be a cow who dared to make a mistake in the face of Lao Zhu, and his heart was suddenly much more balanced, but Lao Zhu didn't deliberately send such a person to my house to fix me.

Zhu Xiaosi brought another person named Hua Wei, who was the son of Huayun, the prince of Dongqiu County. As soon as he heard this title, Ma Du knew that this was a child without a father, who would have thought that he would not even have a mother.
