Continued from the previous chapter

Huang Da hurriedly took out a few long and short tubes from the table and handed them to Zhao Xing: "Great official, the demon subduing transformation has been created, but the kind of gunpowder you said is not good, just there is a sound, and the iron pellets that are sprayed can't hit far, or they can't spray iron pellets at all, just the smoke of fire?" ”

"How is that possible?" Zhao Xing was looking for it on the table, he was now targeted, hurriedly grabbed a book on the table, and asked: "The recipe you have above is according to the record in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts...... Could it be that the various dispensing drugs are not pure? ”

"Daguanren, we have tried several formulas recorded in the "Seven Books of Wujing", more than 20 kinds of ingredients, we have repeatedly checked and seen, you once said that the problem of weights and measures is too big, we have also changed, and now the weighing scale, can weigh the amount of half a gram and a tenth of a gram that the official said, but the result is still like this - this thing is light and fireworks, but there is no explosive effect as the big official said."

"No, there are three gunpowder recipes in the book: Fireball Gunpowder, Tribulus Fireball Gunpowder, and Poison Smoke Ball Gunpowder. Let's not mention the toxicity - how did Croton also mix with gunpowder? If it explodes, try to pick up the explosive ones first, you give me a tribulus terrestris fireball gunpowder prescription on the spot, the formula is: nitrate, sulfur, pine resin, yellow dan, arsenic, tung oil, charcoal...... You'd better not match it, this thing really can't explode. ”

Zhao Xing stared blankly at the pile of medicines on the table, he was puzzled: "Impossible, it is clearly said that this is the ancestor of gunpowder...... By the way, the difference between one word and one word! I was deceived again, this is gunpowder and not explosives. Gunpowder and explosives are two different things. ”

Zhao Xing had vaguely understood at this time that there were more than 20 ingredients in this formula. Material purity, blending ratio...... There are too many opportunities for problems in the middle, even if the quality is strictly controlled, this ratio can only make the expansion ratio of the entire chemical reaction insufficient, and of course there will be no explosive effect.

So it is just "ignition incendiary charge", or "gunpowder" for short, and it is by no means explosive.

I have wasted so much time, and Zhao Xing now deeply hates that he does not have a "Physical Chemistry Manual" in hand. Otherwise, by checking the moisture and enthalpy values of the compounds, the expansion ratio of this chemical reaction can be measured through mathematical calculations......

That will save you a lot of detours.

"Change, I remember that the best recipe is seven into five, the ratio of sulfur to charcoal, one is one into five, the other is one into one, you can come out by reversing the ratio twice.

Also, it is necessary to granulate gunpowder. Let me think...... The prepared explosives should be wet, made into lumps, and then stuffed into a parchment bag, crushed by rotating the parchment bag, and then turned into pellets.

Then, the next step is to quantitatively divide the package, and to determine how many grains of gunpowder can push how far the iron pellet can be pushed out of each gram, and there must be a standard. I need precise numbers......" Zhao Xing said with annoyance.

Huang Dalian nodded repeatedly, and among the five young people, someone had already begun to take a pen to record what Zhao Xing had just said. Seeing this, the five Israelis also took out a pen to record, Zhao Xing thought about it, and then admonished: "These five newcomers who are happy to be happy are literate and hyphenated, and they follow you and record your experiments...... I'll write a safety manual and write down all the things you need to pay attention to, and you will do what the manual says. These five newcomers are responsible for documenting your experiments. ”

Hearing that he was a literate and hyphenated person, Huang Da eased his hostile attitude slightly, he nodded at the other party, took out a few arrows from the table, and said: "Daguanren, this is made according to the gunpowder arrows on the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", you see ......."

Zhao Xing glanced at it, sneered and said, "Don't look at it." I knew it couldn't be used - there was a large medicine bag wrapped around the shaft of the arrow, which caused the center of gravity to be unstable, and the arrows that were shot out were floating, and they couldn't even shoot out. Moreover, if gunpowder is wrapped in silk cloth in this way, it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps during transportation. Once the gunpowder leaks. When it was actually used, it was a disaster - the gunpowder contaminated the shaft of the arrow, and the soldier could have burned himself when he set fire to the ground. If you can't hit the enemy, you will cause chaos in the city. ”

Huang Da nodded: "Since the big officials know, I won't say it...... Center of gravity, this word is used well...... Official, please see, this is our improved arrow, the shaft of the arrow is a hollow barrel, the more you go to the tail, the thicker it is, such an arrow shoots out, the tail breathes fire, and shoots very far. ”

"It can also be improved, since this gunpowder has a jetting effect, you can make this arrow shaft into two sections, the first half of which is filled with the new gunpowder I mentioned, and then mixed with a little iron sand. When the time comes, the front end explodes, and the effect will be even better. ”

Huang Da then pointed to a large cabinet on the table, and said with a wry smile: "Great official, this is the fire oil cabinet made according to the drawings drawn on the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", but it is ......."

"It's not practical!" Zhao Xing glanced at the fierce fire cabinet and smiled bitterly.

The tank was a large square wooden box with a brass fire-breathing faucet on it, which looked powerful enough, but the weight was dead. This weight cannot be carried by two people, so it is impossible to carry it to the battlefield, and can only be fixed at the head of the city to defend the city. But if it can really take on the responsibility of defending the city, it is a pity that it often breaks cities for the enemy.

This large cabinet does not have a pressurization device, so if you want it to breathe fire, you can only grill it outside the box, and then use the high temperature to induce the fierce fire oil in the cabinet to expand, thus spewing out a fire dragon. Spitting fire in this way, the outside of the cabinet heats up very slowly, the enemy begins to attack the city, the flamethrower does not necessarily work, and when the enemy retreats, the fire will not be extinguished. Moreover, the temperature outside the cabinet is very high, and once it gets out of control, the oil tank may explode, but it will injure the soldiers defending the city.

Since there is no pressurization device, the fire dragon spewed out from such a fierce fire tank will not be too far, but the heat wave around the cabinet is rolling, so that the soldiers defending the city dare not approach...... So, to be exact: it is the enemy's weapon.

"The entire Seven Books of the Martial Arts shouldn't be full of these wastes", Zhao Xing shook his head and sighed, "At least it records the three-bow bed crossbows, siege vehicles, etc., these are indeed useful......"

Jiao Tu smiled bitterly: "Big official, the siege vehicle is huge, and we can't put it here, so there is no trial production...... But what do the big officials want to do with siege vehicles? Shall we attack that city? ”

"Whoa-" Zhao Xing looked at the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts" and roared in annoyance.

No wonder the Seven Books of the Martial Arts do not take secrecy measures, originally. Many of the weapons in it are Mongolian. Maybe the Ordnance Superintendent has another secret method......

Zhao Xing couldn't help but think of a long-standing controversy. It is said that the Song Dynasty was the heyday of the study of formations, and hundreds of formations were studied to resist the nomadic cavalry. For example, during the reign of Song Taizong, the imperial system of "Pingrong Wanquan Array". However, those formations have been tested in actual combat, and their effects are not as good as "no formations". The most perverted example is the "Pingrong Wanquan Formation", which requires 150,000 people to set it up, and the actual combat effect is: 100 defeats, no exceptions!

Think of the team gymnastics events at the Olympics. More than 2,000 people have been rehearsing for two years, and there are still a lot of signs and codes to be made on the venue to ensure that the formation is not chaotic, so you can understand why the 150,000 people will have a 100% failure rate - if 150,000 people want to be proficient, it will take at least 100 years, and when they are proficient, the enemy will not have to fight them.

Even if they miraculously practiced well, it would be useless, because there would be no signs on the battlefield to remind people to stand. Even if someone secretly put a station sign on the battlefield, the Song army also stood in line according to the mark. But as long as the enemy takes a step back, or moves one step from side to side...... It's all messed up, the signs are useless, and the soldiers don't know where to stand!

"Science, you can't do it without system support!" Zhao Xing sighed.

He thought for a while, and then said slowly: "I have an acquaintance in the German countryside, and I have heard that the farmers there have a kind of drum well, that is, they squeeze air into the water pipes to make water come out of the ground. The fire oil tank is short of a negative pressure tank. Wait until I get a few blacksmiths from there to figure it out.

Now the most urgent task is to forge the big gun and mix the new gunpowder...... There are now more and more bandits on the routes in the South Seas, and if we want to maintain the monopoly of the routes, we must be more thoroughly armed. Now that the big guns have been trial-produced, I will quickly cast them, and I need a lot of big guns. And ......"

Zhao Xing originally wanted to talk about the three-bow bed crossbow, but this guy was so large that he couldn't hide it. The Song Dynasty did not allow ships to carry weapons out of the country, and the three-bow bed crossbow was known to the Song officials, but they didn't necessarily know about the big guns, maybe they would mistake them for copper pipes. With a little bribe, isn't it a trivial matter to coax the ancients?

"It's a big gun, immediately determine the caliber, determine the charge, and the weight of the projectile, all of which are fixed ......" Zhao Xing decided.

Several people in the room agreed in succession, and discussed in a low voice.

After discussing the matter, Jiao Touch chatted with Zhao Xing about idle matters: "Big official." You came here, did the weather get hot and humid...... Since the beginning of spring, there has not been a single rain here, and the water level of West Lake has dropped by more than one meter. There are rumors in the countryside accusing us of building a lot of construction here and breaking the feng shui. Great officials. Fortunately, if it doesn't rain for a few more days, I'm afraid that the villagers will be stirred up. That's not easy. ”

Destroying Feng Shui ...... This charge made Zhao Xing a little ridiculous, he touched his nose, thought for a moment, and instructed while walking outside: "When we mint copper coins, we actually want to pry a hole in the imperial court's numismatic policy, and import copper into China by the way." Now that the imperial court has acquiesced in the importation of feudal money, I think it is time to reconsider the matter of minting copper coins.

I heard in Bianliang City: When Shenzong, the minister Zhang Fangping wrote that he would melt ten coins, get one tael of refined copper, make utensils, and make five times the profit. It is said that the price of copper is much higher than the price of coins...... Five times as much! Five times the profit, why not! Therefore, in the future, we should gradually reduce the amount of copper coins and focus on gold and silver coins, so that we can get the most benefit from this thing! ”

Jiao Feng nodded: "Brother Xing is right. But we don't necessarily make a profit by casting bronze. Copper buys goods for the imperial court, and it is not easy to sell. And we have a spiral rod minting machine, no need to make a fire, with a human pressure can produce copper coins. For another bronze casting, it is necessary to add a furnace and a mold...... I don't think it can be more profitable than copper coins.

Besides, if the bronze ware is to be shipped, we have to find shops, select merchants, calculate profits, and make separate accounts...... Coming and going is time-consuming, manpower, and money. Copper coins don't need this trouble, since the court has opened an opening, just take it out and spend it, right? ”

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and replied, "It's reasonable...... Let's talk about this again! However, since the imperial court has opened an opening, there is no need for the widows to hide deep underground, let them all live in the building, and pay attention to the vigilance around. I have another good use for this place...... I'm going to open a candle workshop. ”

"Okay, just like the big official said", Jiao Touch agreed. Then. The two of them had re-walked to the location of the group of minting widows, and Jiao touched the names of several widows, and introduced to Zhao Xing: "These girls will expire on the first day of the first month of next month, and today is twenty-five, and it is not so many days away, so it is better for the big officials to give them a grace and let them go out in advance." ”

Jiao Touch squeezed his eyes as he spoke. Zhao Xing nodded yes. The widows hurriedly thanked the ground, and then, at a trot, ran back to their little table, leaned down and picked up the basket beside the table, and felt that it was not enough, and poured a lot of gold and silver coins from the basket next to them, and then picked up the basket. Staggered towards the gate.

According to the rules, these widows could take as many coins as they could carry them alone, the only requirement was that they could not rest halfway, and once the basket in their arms hit the ground, they could not take the whole basket of coins. In the end, the only thing to get was a severance pay from the steward.

The widows lived underground, and apart from minting coins, the rest of the work was to exchange experiences with each other. It seems that several of the widows have learned from the failures of their peers. They held the half-full basket of money, and although it was difficult to walk, they did not pause in the middle of the way, and successfully carried the basket out of the hall.

How many coins are fifty or sixty kilograms? The standard weight of a copper coin is five baht, and the standard weight of a gold and silver coin is half a tael, and there are slight differences in coinage in various places, and the average weight of copper coins is about 4 grams. 50 kilograms of copper coins are only about a dozen yuan. If there are some gold and silver coins in the basket, then the basket is worth about 100 yuan. Then this money is used as a year's remuneration for underground work, and the widow is satisfied, and Zhao Xing is also satisfied.

Several widows came out of the underground factory and they laid down the baskets. Kowtow to Zhao Xing again and thank you.

According to the rules, they also have a bonus according to their output, and then Zhao Xing will bear the travel expenses and send them to Bianliang, the capital of the Celestial Empire, for a ten-day tour. Subsequently, whether he planned to return to China or borrowed the "degree of cultivation" to stay, it was all arranged by Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing calmly accepted their bows, and Jiao Touch then led them to get the reward and record their request.

The women of the Japanese country can endure hardships and stay underground for a year. Actually did not complain, but was grateful for it. Because compared to domestic ...... In the Wa Kingdom, men did not work, but their main task was to fight. So, both modern and ancient. All the work in the fields and at home is for women. Men are out earning money.

The maiden was gone, and the house was quiet. Chen Yiyi's laughter was particularly loud. Zhao Xing followed the sound and climbed up to the third floor, and saw that Ah Zhu and Yi Yi were both in the attic, they pushed open the window of the room, revealing half of their bodies in front of the window, and one of them held a pair of monoculars, looking at the riverside wharf.

"I like here, I like this house", Chen Yiyi saw Zhao Xinglai, she waved her binoculars and danced, "Will we live here in the future?" I'm going to live in the attic...... You see, I saw a ship coming into port just now, is that our ship? Why is there no red flag on the ship, and it is still so dilapidated? ”

"This is the widow's house" Zhao Xing took the binoculars from Ah Zhu's hand, approached the window to observe the ship that had just entered the port, and continued: "Our house should be next to it, Ah Zhu, it's been difficult for you in the past few years, let's all move out, I'm back, there is no need for anyone to guard here." Has the county lord of Qin been settled? ”

As he was talking, the boat on the dock came into view, startling Zhao Xing. He wiped his eyes and looked closer: it was indeed his ship, but it seemed to have just returned from the territory. Cheng Azhu didn't know that the original appearance of the ship was better. Zhao Xing knew, so he was taken aback by the tragic sight of the ship.

It was a three-masted ship, but now the foremast of the ship is gone, the stern mast is also broken in half, and although the hull looks complete, the ship's platform, conning tower, portholes...... There is a smell of being ravaged everywhere. For example, all the window frames on the ship are covered with rags, and the beautiful window screens are no longer visible.

The crew on deck also seemed a little depressed, lazily preparing to enter the port, some of them still bandaged, a picture of a remnant of a defeated army.

Zhao Xing put down his binoculars and instructed Ah Zhu: "You two hurry up and clean up the house, I'll go and see what's going on?" ”

Ah Zhu hurriedly took the air to answer Zhao Xing's question: "The county lord of Qin is placed in the room on our left, official, you come back and go directly to the small building on the east side, where do we live." ”

Zhao Xing nodded as he ran.

What happened - the ship was caught in a storm near the South China Sea, but fortunately, the experienced crew got to the edge of the storm area, and when they felt that the wind was not right, they dealt with it. To escape the storm zone, the crew cut off the front and rear masts. A lot of cargo is also thrown to lower the ship's center of gravity. Fortunately, the ship had only been replenished in Jiaozhi and had sufficient supplies, so after rushing out of the storm, it sailed all the way into Hangzhou.

"It's good to come back, those goods are not worth much, people are the most important", Zhao Xing lightly comforted the crew.

He said it with ease. But in fact, this time it was a huge loss. The cargo loaded on the ship is light and light, and I am afraid that it will be weighed on it. In order to lower the center of gravity, the crew threw most of the ivory, glass, hawksbill turtles, pearls, and spices loaded on the top layer into the sea, and then threw a lot of copper ingots. Although the ship is now half loaded with cargo, eighty percent of the valuable cargo has been lost, and the value has been reduced by nine.

The resettlement of the crew was carried out for two days, the wounds were treated alive, and the victims were remedied. Incoming goods are also unloaded. Zhao Xingcai fell into a busy situation when he went home, and the current Hangzhou Taishou Jieshu also came to have fun. When he heard that Zhao Xing had led the official message home, he immediately came to visit.

Jieshu can be described as a young man, and he became a governor in his twenties. Because he had a relationship with Su Shi for a period of time before, after that, he claimed to be Su Shi's student, and when he met Zhao Xing, he opened his mouth and called himself "senior brother": "Senior brother, you see, the weather in Hangzhou has been getting hotter and hotter recently, and it has not rained since the beginning of spring. The people are talking about it, what can the senior brother do? ”

If it doesn't rain, what can Zhao Xing do.

Before Jieshu came, Zhao Xing was still wondering. It is said that when the Jinshi and the first clothes returned to their hometowns, it was the most wealthy time for the new Jinshi, and countless villagers took the land to fill it, hoping to take refuge in the Jinshi and reduce taxes and serve. And the squire also wants to give away happy money as an emotional investment. But in the past few days since he went home, there was no one to send money. He's idle here. Presumably, Zhou Bang counted the money and counted to the cramps in his hands......

It's weird. It's a bad life!

Now, he knows the reason - he was ostracized!

Zhao Xing opened his mouth, laughed silently, and asked rhetorically, "What are Ping Zhong's plans?" ”

Jieshu glanced around, and his head was organized with words.

Zhao Xing greeted Jieshu in the courtyard, although this is a bit inconsistent with the law of welcoming guests, but who told Jieshu to think that he was a senior brother? Doing so just shows that the two of them have a good family background.

Now. Beside Zhao Xing, a group of craftsmen are putting the finishing touches on a city water clock.

Is there a city water clock in China? Yes! The Northern Song Dynasty happened to be its most popular era. At present, most Song Dynasty cities like to erect this thing. That's what's trendy, it's fashion!

It is said that this thing is from the time of Song Renzong. There is a person named Yansu Mingdi. This Chinese version of the city water clock. It's called "Lotus Drain". In just three or five years, the "Lotus Leak" became popular in various states of the Great Song Dynasty. Become a city timekeeping tool in various states and counties. There is a Song poem "One Day and Ming Twelve Hours", which describes the "Lotus Leakage" twelve hours to tell the time.

The so-called city water clock is actually an enlarged version of the leaky pot. Make several levels of pools, and then fill the pool with water to the next level of water step by step, and time by controlling the amount of water injected. Each pool is equipped with a hydraulically driven mechanism that relies on buoyancy to strike the clock on time.

The city water clock originated in Italy, and now Western cities are easy to build fountain pools, which is actually the urban architectural habit left over from thousands of years of use of city water clocks. Later, with the progress of the times, the original fountain no longer had a timekeeping function, but those large and small pools remained, and became the common Western urban landscape in our modern times.

The "Lotus Drain" is slightly different from the Western "City Water Clock" in that its water sprinkler device is not beautified into a statue or a fountain, but only a short and thick pipe, but its timekeeping function is exactly the same as that of the ancient Roman "City Water Clock".

The city water clock appeared only briefly in the Song Dynasty, became fashionable after Renzong, and the subsequent Mongol invasion destroyed all the "lotus drains" without missing a single thing. Later, people returned to the habit of burning incense and timing, so there were colloquial "one stick of incense kung fu", "one tea kung fu" and other timing methods. In modern times, only the Japanese have preserved the "Lotus Drain" map of the Song Dynasty.

The design of the "Lotus Drain" printed on the Song version of the book is very rough, which may be due to secrecy. But Zhao Xing, who was in the Great Song Dynasty, did not need to guess the design of the lotus drain, because Yan Su's descendants had not disappeared under the change of dynasty, Zhao Xing found this Xiucai named Yan Xiaoshan, and Qianguan hired him to build a lotus drain in his own garden.

However, the water clock that Zhao Xing is making now is actually not a lotus leak. Because Zhao Xing specially added statues made by Arab craftsmen, this water clock is closer to the "Roman water clock". Its twelve-step pool follows the slope of the mountain. The water nozzles of each level of the pool are hidden in the ancient Greek style and Arabic style statues, and the water sprayed out has a spring up to two meters high, some are as low as a single pillar of a broken bridge, some are as thin as a shower and a group, and some are as thick as a pavilion and a water umbrella.

These streams of water either spit out of the statue's mouth or gush out of the statue's belongings. Lotus vase, trident, magic pestle, fingertips everywhere pouring water, high and low, pleasing to the eye.

Some of these statues are very tall, such as the most conspicuous Egyptian camel soldier in Mamuliu, who is more than three meters tall and rides on a camel with a shield in one hand. Dancing with a knife in one hand to make a fighting form. Some are very low, like a carp jumping out of the water......

Standing on the edge of the pool, he could only look up. Zhao Xing pondered there, Jieshu was also distracted, he held his official hat and looked at the top of the camel soldier's head, a kind of awe arose in his heart, and he couldn't help asking: "These statues of gods erected by people are ...... Which country is the god? …… Well, the neighbors are talking, preparing to hold a sacrifice. Sacrifice a sacrifice to the dragon king, and the departing brother may wish to come forward to worship and sacrifice to appease the resentment of the neighbors."

Jieshu muttered in his heart as he spoke: This person doesn't believe in the demon god of the foreign domain, right? Look at these statues, all of them are open-chested and exposed, which is too immoral.

At this moment, the two Israelis walked up to Zhao Xing, bowed their heads and saluted Zhao Xing, their dresses were completely different from those of the Central Plains, which made Jieshu more and more confident in his own judgment.

These two people are Yu Yu, the heir of the tribe surnamed I in Israel, and Bai Qiao, the heir of the tribe surnamed Bai, and they are the leaders of the group of Israelis sent to Zhao Xing's side. These two men have obviously not mastered the art of officialdom. In front of Jieshu, he chatted with Zhao Xing about housework.

"Lord Zhao En, you said that the ship that sent us was the one that just entered the port? I think it's badly damaged, and I'm afraid it won't be able to go to sea for two or three months. It's a tailwind ...... right now."

Before Zhao Xingxian could answer my words, he made a gesture to please wait and replied to Jieshu: "I'll listen to the arrangement!" How many parts should be sacrificed to the dragon god, and what utensils are needed, Ping Zhong opened his mouth...... Oh. Shortly after my ship entered port, there was a storm at sea, and most of the cargo had been abandoned, leaving only two boxes of ivory, but all whole tusks. Hei Zhong carried one away when he left. ”

Generosity!

What else can Jieshu say? I can't say anything. He couldn't stop thanking. Seeing that the two Israelites had not yet left, he asked in an unobtrusive tone: "Is there a great loss of leaving people?" These two feudal lords were right. At this time, the wind is favorable, and if you don't go to sea again, you miss the direction of the wind, and you have to wait another year. ”

Zhao Xing replied: "It's okay, I'm building an iron keel galleon, which can carry about 600 tons of cargo, and the original ship is thinking about eliminating it." The ship was broken, and it was just thrown away! I asked them to go from No. 6 to Quanzhou Wharf, where there was still my boat. ”

Jieshu rolled his eyes and said casually: "I heard that there are warehouses overseas from people, and it takes a year for others to go to Nanyang, and it only takes half a year to run away from people." Since the divorce intends to sell the old ship, it is better to sell it to me, and I will repair it and run a short distance with the divorce. ”

Zhao Xing glanced at him and shook his head. Pointing to the two Israelis, he opened his eyes wide and said, "I have obeyed the teacher's words, and I will not go to the South Seas in the future, and now I am planning to resell the ships to them, oh, only my concubines have left some shares with them, and they are all real estates, such as warehouses, to help them store their goods—I heard that there is a decree from the imperial court prohibiting officials from competing with maritime merchants for profit." I am a law-abiding citizen and never do anything illegal.

Well, the boat is still mine, that's right. But I've chartered the boat to them, and I don't care what they do with it......"

He nodded frequently and said to the two Israelis: "It just so happens that this official is busy with official business, and he has no time to do it himself, so I wonder how many ships are interesting for me to manage at the moment?" ”

Jie Taishou is currying favor in disguise, he does not need to make a living by operating sea trade, and making this request is to show that he and Zhao Xing are brothers who share weal and woe...... Of course, he would be satisfied.

After Jieshu left, Zhao Xing frowned and educated the two Israelis: "When there are outsiders in the future, don't mention our ship...... looks like such an adult, and has no eyes! …… Have you guys packed up for the sea? I'm making a big gun, and when the trial production of the big gun is completed, I'll let the ship be shipped to Qiongzhou. Then your men will change to a new ship in Qiongzhou and go to meet your rabbi. ”

The Israelites were interrupted by a cheer from the edge of the pool, which was the mechanism by which the workers had installed the lotus drain, and several huge statues had begun to spray water step by step. Yan Xiaoshan instructed the workers to close the lid of the last stage of the mechanical device. After a while, the first-order water bell rang the bronze bell, and the melodious sound of the bell echoed in the courtyard. Immediately afterwards, the second-order water bell rang the bronze bell of the ground to which it belonged, and then, each water bell successively emitted a loud note, which together formed a perfect tune.

When the workers heard the bell, they all stopped their work, and for a while, only the loud music remained in the heavens and the earth.

At this moment, although the bell was loud, Zhao Xing sounded like a sigh.

The bell did not ring on time, not long after. The pagoda on the mountain beam in the distance also rang the bell in a hurry, and the bell was very messy. After a few rings, the people on the tower seemed to have made a mistake, and they stopped ringing the bell. But by then, it was too late. With the bell of the pagoda ringing, more than 30 temples of all sizes in Hangzhou have rang the bell.

Chaos arises, and the bell is not rung at the hour during the peaceful season, which is a wake-up call. The people of Hangzhou couldn't figure out the reason, and under the panic, all kinds of rumors began to spread everywhere. Some say it's an enemy raid siren, others say it's praying for the Buddha's birthday......
