Chapter 83: Visitors from All Directions
Yang Chong also thinks that the spy is one between the two, or even both; However, Gongsun You and Cheng Shang are both old men of Handan Chuanrong, and their qualifications and prestige in the army are good, and without evidence, they cannot draw conclusions arbitrarily. Yang Chong has read the resumes of the two, both of them have been promoted step by step from the gang leader in Handchuan Rong, and there are not a few henchmen under him, so Yang Chong did not even agree to the surveillance proposed by Sikong Xing.
Jiang Fei and Yang Chong have been together for a few months, and basically understand Yang Chong's character, when Yang Chong is harmless to humans and animals on the surface, he must be holding back a big move, and he will not be so indifferent to the death of his subordinates; Jiang Fei expected that Yang Chong would not speak, so he began to pay attention to the changes around him, and Jiang Fei soon found that there was a lot less saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur in the warehouse. Jiang Fei secretly instructed Tianjian and Tianjian to pay attention to observation, and found that Yang Chong had secretly transported these things to the warehouse of the crushing field.
Everyone has always been very incomprehensible about Yang Chong's decision to build a special crushing farm in a place five miles outside Xihanbao, which is not only unsafe, but also increases the cost of Handan Chuanrong. It's just that Yang Chong used his power for personal gain, preemptively set up the Yang family's warehouse at a marginal position in the squeeze, and put his own workshop and blacksmith shop in the squeeze, so no one came out to touch this mold; At present, the two other buildings in the mill are the inn of the long windmill and ten storefronts for the merchant group.
However, after learning about the Chijin Turks, Wu Zhuo secretly called it a fluke and admired Yang Chong's caution. It was Yang Chong's caution that could prevent the spies of the Chijin Turks from mixing into Xihanbao, even if something happened, it would be a matter of one place; However, this made Wu Zhuo wonder again, Yang Chong was ready to put his workshop in the area of the press, and had been sending Yang Heng and other five people to work on the site, could it be that Yang Chong was really so clear about public and private.
Wu Zhuo thought about it for a few nights, but he didn't understand whether Yang Chong was not afraid of chickens and eggs, or Yang Chong thought that he had to take the lead in order to open up the situation and attract businessmen from all over the world to come to the farm. However, judging from the feedback from all sides, Yang Chong is still relatively successful, Chang'an's Yuhaizhai, Jinmatang, Daxing Medical School, Louguan, Yuwen's family, Cui's family, Changsun's family, Yuan's family, Yueguo's mansion, and Jiangnan's Xiao family have all arranged caravans to come, as well as Liangzhou's generation of Dunhuang, Zhangye, Wuwei's merchants, Gaochang, Shanshan, Khotan, and Western Turks in the Western Regions, including Tuyuhun's party department, have arranged advance envoys.
The one who attaches the most importance to Handchuan Rong is Lou Guan Dao, and it turned out to be Zhang Guolao who Yang Chong has always wanted to see, Zhang Guolao and Yuwenhu came together and said three things to Yang Chong and Jiang Fei. First, Jiang Fei was expelled from Louguandao and Guini Yuanhui, but did not recover his martial arts; followed by Zhang Guolao and Yuwenhu as matchmakers, Yuwenkai and Jiang Fei's brother Jiang Duo has agreed to let the two tie the knot; In the end, there are more than 30 people who have made mistakes in Louguandao in Liangzhou, and they will be transferred to Hanchuan Rong one after another, and all of these people will be expelled from Louguandao and handed over to Yang Chong and Jiang Fei to take care of.
Yang Chong understood that Lou Guan Dao spent so much effort to promote his marriage with Jiang Fei; Yang Chong didn't dare to stimulate Jiang Fei, the girl was alone now, and if she refused to say it, she would die if she didn't do it well. Yang Chong invited Zhang Guolao and Yu Wenhu to a no-man's land outside, and asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, just rush to Senior Brother Feng's face, even if you have something to say, if you have something to say, a pie has fallen from the sky, and I panicked in my heart." ”
Zhang Guo grew old and smiled: "You don't like Jiang Fei? ”
"No, no." Yang Chong knew that Jiang Fei could hear his conversation, and the two were also related to each other on weekdays, so he hurriedly explained: "Why can't I look down on Miss Jiang?" I dreamed of marrying her, but I didn't feel like I could afford the big gift of Louguan. ”
Zhang Guolao said unhurriedly: "Don't take it to heart, if you really don't want to go, take out the prescription of the pill and study it together." ”
The prescription of the elixir, Yang Chong suddenly woke up, it was gunpowder, and he brought five carts of nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur, others didn't know what it was, and Lou Guandao was a master, how could he not guess what he wanted to do. In history, gunpowder was first discovered by the Taoist priests of alchemy in the Han Dynasty, but the exact formula has not been worked out.
These days, Yang Chong asked Yang Heng and the five people in the warehouse to mash saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur into powder, and then after preparing it themselves, they wrapped it in paper and put it in the box, and then put the boxes one by one through the secret passage in the secret room in the set position. The door of the secret room has always been guarded by Yang Heng, Yang Heng is simple-minded, and he doesn't ask Yang Chong what he is doing at all, but he just thinks that like Xiang Pancreas, Yang Chong wants to keep any trade secrets.
Yang Chong knew that Jiang Fei had discovered something strange, and nodded: "Junior brother is trying to ask Senior Brother Zhang for help, and when this time is over, I will definitely take the time to discuss with Senior Brother." ”
Yang Chong has a lot of opinions on the current popular pills, and he has long wanted to tell others that they are not credible, and Zhang Guolao's suggestion is exactly what Yang Chong wants. When the three of them returned to the house, Jiang Fei was still the same as usual, looking neither salty nor light; Zhang Guolao said lightly: "Jiang Fei, you heard our conversation, Yang Chong has no opinion, what about you?" ”
Jiang Fei smiled faintly and said, "I've been expelled from the division, if I don't agree again, there will be nowhere to go." ”
Yang Chong hurriedly said: "Jiang Fei, this is a big matter for the two of us, we can't agree for the whole reason, you have to tell me, I don't like it." ”
Everyone laughed, Jiang Fei's face was a little red, but she still nodded steadily; Yang Chong was suddenly furious and asked Zhang Guolao: "When will you visit the church and get married?" ”
Yuwenhu slapped Yang Chongyi and said: "Handan Chuan Rong can't do it, even if your family in Nanhai doesn't come, you have to wait for you to return to Chang'an and hold a ceremony in Maxingfang, and your two senior brothers will attend." Miss Jiang, do you say yes, this kind of thing is not sloppy. "Yu Wenhu is telling the truth, with the identity of the two of them, it is almost impossible to do it casually.
The people who come to Handchuan Rong actually have their own affairs, and seeing that Yang Chong and Jiang Fei's affairs are decided, they go to work separately, and they also want to give the two of them a chance to be alone. However, Yang Chong finally decided to tell Jiang Fei about the gunpowder, which was a killer weapon against the Chijin Turks, but someone needed to ignite the fuse to detonate it; Yang Chong knew that he couldn't do it, and it was difficult to get into the squeeze when something happened, even if Yang Heng's skills were used, there was no guarantee that only Jiang Fei could be trusted among the masters.
Lou Guan Dao is a master of alchemy, Jiang Fei naturally knows that fire alchemy will burn people, listening to Yang Chong say the lead, after asking carefully, he couldn't help but admire, Feng Qiquan is right, Yang Chong is a genius in this regard. Jiang Fei naturally didn't want others to know about it, so she volunteered: "I'll be responsible for the detonation, and I'll pretend to be a superb person when the time comes, but can you tell me the result first." ”
Yang Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said neatly: "Heavenly thunder, with a bang, everything will be in pieces." ”
