Chapter 324

Under the control of Qiu Niang, the night owl began to continuously tilt the resources in his hands towards Goguryeo. But even if the night owl invested almost all of his manpower in Goguryeo, the construction of the intelligence network could not be built overnight. Therefore, after Li Wenyuan instructed Qiu Niang to do so, he no longer paid attention to the acquisition of information, but immediately set out to deal with another very difficult problem, and this matter could not be brought by others, so Li Wenyuan had to deal with it personally.

In the back alley of a tavern in Dunhuang County, two people dressed as beggars gathered together, and the two sat down slowly against the wall, closing their eyes very tiredly. It seems that he is preparing to take a little rest during this time when no one has passed, and after recuperating his spirit, he will continue to walk the streets and alleys in the afternoon to ask for money. The two men sat down against the wall, not far apart, almost side by side, and sounded very clear even if they spoke to each other in the smallest voice, except for the interference of outside noise.

"Is this the thing I asked you to get from Li Wenyuan's army? Let me tell you, this is our first collaboration, and I don't want our cooperation to end in displeasure. So I'm asking you one last time, is this little bag the one I asked you to do for me? Nothing went wrong and didn't fool me, right? One of them said.

When the other person heard the man's questioning, he replied in a disdainful tone, "Hmph." It's more difficult for you outsiders to get this thing, but what is my identity? You don't say you want a pack of this, even if you bring a basket, I'll still give you a bowl full of it for you to carry back. Don't worry, it's fine. But did you bring money this time, according to the rules we agreed in advance, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, you don't admit it. "The conversation between two people is very hidden, and as long as you don't get closer, even if you keep an eye on the two people, you don't know exactly how and when they are talking.

The man who had questioned earlier now stretched his hands upwards and straightened his back. Then, he quickly took out a sufficient amount of silver brick from his bosom and handed it to another beggar in a very covert way.

The person who asked for the money stood up slowly against the wall after getting his due reward, nodded imperceptibly to the person who was still sitting on the ground, whispered "Happy cooperation", and then turned around and left quickly.

After seeing the beggar disappearing, the one who remained in the alley also carefully hid the remaining silver bricks on his body, and then put the bag of gunpowder in a sea-breaking bowl that he used to disguise himself as a person who asked for food. Then he took off the broken hat from his head, covered it with the bowl, and after carefully holding the bowl, he left the back alley as fast as he could, and returned to his stronghold. The beggar had just left with his front foot, and the regular soldiers stationed near the county seat of Dunhuang County with his back foot also drove directly into the city, and the order of martial law was raised in the city, and all he had to do was to search where the little gunpowder went.

I don't know how this matter happened, and in the end, it actually got to Li Wenyuan. Li Wenyuan couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, he usually planted spies to other forces. These spies will occasionally use the funds in their hands to buy a large number of grain commodities on the market of those forces, and then wait until the price of food has risen, and then sell these grains in batches to earn the difference, and do some such shady things, and although the surrounding forces are very different from their own, the technology of the forces is very different. But in Li Wenyuan's eyes, these very inconspicuous people know more things in their minds than those who seem to be very shrewd.

After Li Wenyuan learned of the theft of the gunpowder he made, he was also furious, and successively belittled more than a dozen officials related to the matter. But it was to no avail, after all, it had been lost, and the next thing to do was to make amends, in order to intercept this batch of gunpowder in its own territory as much as possible. Once too much gunpowder flows out and is taken away by other forces, it still causes trouble for itself in the end. Therefore, after receiving an order from Li Wenyuan to assemble and go to Dunhuang County, a regular division that was currently exercising was the closest to Dunhuang County, and after arriving, it began to exercise military control and implement a curfew policy in Dunhuang County. After getting this batch of gunpowder, what exactly does this person want to do? These are all issues that Li Wenyuan is concerned about.

In the end, the curfew was imposed for two days and one night, but in the end, it was not found where the package of gunpowder was. If you don't know where the gunpowder is, the question that bothers Li Wenyuan the most is who took it. After all, there is no molecular analyzer like in later generations, as long as you get a package of powder, you can analyze the specific content of each molecule in this package of powder. But now after getting this pack of gunpowder, in addition to using it, let's take a look at what this pack of gunpowder looks like after and during use? Then, according to this known information, I slowly groped for imitation. But how can imitation be so easy? What's more, this kind of cross-era invention is not something that can be copied in a short period of time. Therefore, Li Wenyuan was more worried that after someone stole these gunpowders, he also went to experiment and make the muskets used by Li Wenyuan's regular divisions.

In fact, the musket does not have a high technical content, and one of the few difficulties is the casting and processing of the gun chamber, and the second is the production of gunpowder. The more sophisticated the chamber is, the more accurate the musket will be. The higher the quality of the gunpowder production, the more it can determine the initial velocity of the projectile in the chamber of the gun to fly out of the muzzle and hit the target.

This matter has been investigated until the end and there is no result, plus there are still many things that need to be done that have not been done. Li Wenyuan didn't want to waste too much time on this aspect like this, so after four or five days of making a huge fuss, this matter was suppressed by Li Wenyuan. The big things turned into small things, and the small things turned into small things, and in the end, this matter was over, and Li Wenyuan didn't take it too seriously at that time.
