Grandpa Chen also seemed to think of Qin Guangming What they were going to do, and hurriedly ran out to find pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, just when he ran to the door of the grass house, Qin Guangming also asked him if you still have a small scale for silver here, if there is, bring it in together, Grandpa Chen nodded, did not look back, and stepped out of the grass house.

As for why pen, ink, paper and inkstone were so common in the Song Dynasty, this is not what Qin Guangming and others thought, it is estimated that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone of this dynasty are relatively developed.

It didn't take long for Village Chief Chen to come to the grass house with pen, ink, paper, inkstone and small scales.

The grass house immediately sounded a piercing different firecracker, anyway, the horn rang non-stop, the four of them chatted can be said to be in deep water, inseparable, anyway, the mouth is like a river, the exit is a chapter, the lips are closed, chatter, and the words can be said to be endless, like a waterfall keeps flowing and pouring.

Qin Guangming, Village Chief Chen, Li Leiluo and Su Youjin bragged in the grass house for a long time, but anyway, the sky was dark, and the sun and the moon lost their light.

The sky outside slowly darkened, and the clouds on the horizon had quietly left without knowing when, and I didn't know when Yue'er would also show her shy forehead and hang quietly high in the air.

In the hot summer, the fields are full of frog chirping and cricket songs, and from time to time there are all kinds of bird calls in the mountains and forests, such as ...... The sound of flowing water not far from the entrance of the small village is accompanied by music, which is more empty, and if people are in it, they will definitely experience the comfort of the whole body and the troubles disappear.

It is similar to the scene when Qin Guangming, Li Leiluo and Su Youjin climbed to the top of Piliang Mountain and planted the regular red flag, as long as you listen quietly, you will find that you have been comfortable at this time, your troubles have disappeared, and you have unconsciously settled down and slept steadily.

Village Chief Chen's daughter-in-law and granddaughter had already returned home picking wild vegetables at this time, and when they heard the four of them chatting in the grass house, they didn't come forward to disturb them.

They had only eaten dinner and carefully knitted straw sandals in the moonlight in the courtyard.

Qin Guangming, Village Chief Chen, Li Leiluo, and Su Youjin finally negotiated the matter while hungry, so that all arrangements were made.

At the beginning, they mainly discussed how many people the village was, with 19 children, 16 women, and 12 old people, adding up the population of the village of Chen Village Chief to a total of 48 people, and adding Qin Guangming, Li Leiluo, and Su Youjin, there were 51 people in total.

After they found out the population, they began to calculate the grain, oil and salt consumed by the population of the small village in a day, and they discussed this matter for a long time, and in the end they could only take the method of discounting the middle.

There's no way! Li Leiluo said that if he doesn't eat porridge, he doesn't want to drink porridge, and Village Chief Chen thinks it's too wasteful of food, and Su Youjin wants to say that he wants to eat noodles and dumplings, and he wants to buy white noodles.

Village Chief Chen also said that white flour is several times more expensive than rice, and wheat is not produced in the south, so can white flour not be expensive? Not expensive? Those merchants are not fools.

In the end, I took the method of taking the middle fold, instead of drinking thin porridge, I drank thick porridge, and I also had to buy some white noodles, but I couldn't buy more.

Finally, what else is needed to discuss the village? Each of them brought a lot of clothes, kitchen utensils, hunting weapons, millet seeds, green vegetable seeds, bathing beans for bathing, ploughing utensils, building utensils, cattle, dumplings, and mules...... Wait, wait!

Anyway, Qin Guangming, Li Leiluo and Su Youjin just said it in one mind, and Village Chief Chen remembered it in one mind, and reminded what was missing from time to time.

When Village Chief Chen heard that he was going to buy so many things, he must have been beautiful in his heart, and his pen movements were much faster, could he not be beautiful? He can't do it if it's not beautiful.

In the end, Qin Guangming also said that he wanted charcoal and sulfur, if he bought all the materials in front of him, he would buy charcoal and sulfur with all the money left, and the more he bought, the better.

Li Leiluo and Su Youjin felt inexplicable when they heard this, and asked Qin Guangming why he wanted to buy charcoal and sulfur? This is also what Village Chief Chen wanted to ask, and the three of them all looked at Qin Guangming's answer seriously.

Qin Guangming said that it was of great use, but the three of them were willing to let it go, and they didn't know the answer, and they had a feeling of not giving up, and finally after asking questions, Qin Guangming had to say that he bought charcoal and sulfur to make gunpowder, and to put it bluntly, he made explosives.

And Li Leiluo and Su Youjin were stunned when they heard this, and muttered: "Doesn't it take saltpeter to make explosives?" ”

Qin Guangming smiled very proudly, and said with a pretentious smile: "As for how to refine earth saltpeter, I have my own way, but ...... It's better to buy saltpeter more or less, and we will need it to help us make money in the future. Qin Guangming said that this was just a mysterious smile, not talking.

No matter what questions Li Leiluo and Su Youjin asked, there was no way to spit out the method of making saltpeter and the way to make a fortune with saltpeter from Qin Guangming's mouth.

In the end, I had to discuss whether the silver on the table was enough, and after Village Chief Chen weighed them one by one, I learned that there were a total of forty-nine taels and seven coins of silver on the table.

The next thing is to let Village Chief Chen estimate whether these silver taels are enough, and if not, he is thinking of some other ways.

Village Chief Chen saw that the silver on the table was not bad, there should be no problem with one or two for one thousand Wen, and if it was not good, it could be exchanged for more than one thousand Wen, if all of them were exchanged for copper coins, that is, they could be exchanged for almost 50,000 copper coins, that is to say, almost 50 yuan of coins, that is to say, they could be exchanged for 200 catties of copper coins.

After careful calculations by Village Chief Chen, he felt that it should be enough, and it was estimated that there was still a surplus, as for the remaining silver taels, as Qin Guangming said, all the saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur were bought, and the silver taels were not purchased.

After the liquidation, Qin Guangming, Li Leiluo and Su Youjin all knew that the silver was more or less, so they relaxed a little, and they discussed how to allocate manpower tomorrow, go to Baxian Town to buy the materials needed by the village, and how to transport them back to the village, which is the most important thing.

Because the Song State is now in the midst of a war with the Southern Han Kingdom, there is a heart to manage the security of the town, and it is estimated that there is only a heart to catch the fish that the defeated soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty have slipped through the net, which also brings a lot of unspeakable secrets to the poor people in the border areas of the town, and they can only watch the Song army go back and forth bitterly.

Now this place has become a three-regardless zone, His Majesty Zhao Kuangyin of the Song State does not care, the Southern Han Kingdom does not care, and the Song army does not care about the officers who occupied Baxian Town.

On the roads in the border area of these Baxian Town, it can be said that bandits from all directions have risen and robbed everywhere, which is miserable.
