Chapter 300: Chapter 76: The Roar of the Cannons (Part II)

Fireworks are beautiful, especially in the dark night, the burning fireworks are a blooming flower, and the sparks are its petals.

Beautiful, blazing, bright.

Although Gao Ming only scraped a little copper dust in the black powder to make this fireworks that was so simple that it couldn't be more simple, it still made Su Wan'er and the others look beautiful and amazed.

"Did Lang Jun make this green fire?"

"It's so beautiful, it's unheard of!"

"yes, yes......"

Seeing that they liked it so much, Gao Ming couldn't bear to spoil their excitement, so he simply went back and took out a few packets of black powder and burned them as fireworks for Su Wan'er and them.

Gradually, Gao Ming also played new tricks, such as sprinkling black powder into various shapes, or using bamboo tubes to light it again, and then reaping a burst of exclamations from the women.

Even Gao Ming didn't expect that he couldn't stop playing, especially after the two little guys, Li Mingda and Li Ju, joined, the consumption rate of black powder began to rise in a straight line.

The next morning, Gao Ming glanced at the black powder that was half missing, and suddenly showed a crying and laughing face.

"No, you can't play like this anymore, the production efficiency can't keep up, and if you continue to play like this, I'm afraid that in the end there won't even be enough gunpowder to fire shells."

In order to increase the speed of configuring black powder, Gao Ming simply let the waiter and the sword also join, and the two girls moved quickly, and after a while, all the raw materials in the room were turned into black powder.

The palace maids and female wrewlers outside the courtyard were also very hard-working, and in the afternoon, all the saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal were ground into powder by them, and then they were prepared into black powder by the hands of Gao Ming and others.

Gao Ming glanced at the black powder that had been placed in the room, and immediately nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, this time the black powder is about more than three hundred catties, which is enough for the time being, Shi Jian, you will take a few people later, and send all this black powder to the ordnance prison, don't forget to tell them that fireworks are strictly prohibited."

"Yes!"

The sword said yes and went out, but his mood seemed to be a little low.

Gao Ming glanced around, and suddenly found that it was not only the sword who was depressed, but even Su Wan'er and Meng Xin's faces were a little lost.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly became a little puzzled, but when he saw the women looking at the black powder in the room with some reluctance, he immediately understood.

"It turned out that I was reluctant to fireworks!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately smiled.

"Haha, although this batch of black powder is going to be sent to the Ordnance Prison, but we can do it again, waiter, you go back and tell Liu Bing, let him get me a few hundred catties of saltpeter and sulfur, and then let's get another batch of black powder to play, and I plan to make a few more firecrackers!"

"Firecrackers?"

Listening to Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er suddenly showed a puzzled look.

"What Lang Jun said, but the people burned the blasting rod during the New Year?"

In Datang, the people have the custom of burning bamboo in the New Year, and the people of Datang put the fresh bamboo into the fire to burn, because the bamboo will make a "crackling" sound when it is burned, so it is called a burst rod.

The Tang Dynasty poet Lai Hu has such a sentence in "Early Spring": "The new calendar will only open half of the paper, and the small courtyard will still gather ashes." ”

It can be seen that the people are using the method of burning the blast rod to look forward to a peaceful and peaceful new year.

These cleverness also knew, so after hearing Su Wan'er's words, he immediately nodded.

"Yes, Wan'er, you're right, my firecracker is similar to the firecracker burned by the people, the only difference is that my firecracker burns louder!"

"Louder?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Meng Xin immediately became interested.

"The concubine is going to let people prepare the brazier, and the concubine also wants to see how Lang Jun's firecrackers sound!"

After speaking, Meng Xin picked up the hem of her clothes and prepared to go out, looking at her enthusiastic appearance, Gao Ming immediately shook his head with a smile.

"I don't need a brazier, it's enough for me to use a fire fold for this blasting rod, waiter, you go and get me a fire fold!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the waiter immediately went to get the fire fold, and Gao Ming went into the study and took a few firecrackers from the bookshelf.

Looking at the firecrackers in Gao Ming's hand, Su Wan'er's eyes suddenly widened.

"Lang Jun, isn't this the bamboo you basked in the yard yesterday? Could it be a firecracker? ”

"Yes!"

Hearing Su Wan'er's question, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"Yes, this is a firecracker, don't look at its small size, its power is great!"

When Gao Ming said this, the waiter also came over with a fire fold.

Gao Ming took the fire fold, opened it, blew it, and then put the lead of the firecracker on the fire fold and lit it.

"Hiss ......"

The lead was sticky with gunpowder, and it caught fire at one point, Gao Ming didn't dare to be careless, and when he saw that the lead was on fire, he hurriedly threw it far away, and then quickly covered his ears.

Seeing his movements, Su Wan'er once again showed a look of doubt.

"Lang Jun, you ......"

Before she could finish speaking, a deafening thunderbolt suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Bang!"

The noise was so loud that even Gao Ming, who was covering his ears, grinned.

"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be quite powerful, Wan'er, did you say yes, you ......"

When she said this, Gao Ming found that Su Wan'er had already stared at her with round eyes, and she looked dumbfounded, and she didn't even react when Gao Ming called her.

Gao Ming couldn't help it, and then gently patted her on the shoulder.

"Wan'er...... Wan'er ......"

was called by him like this, Su Wan'er reacted, only to see her mouth deflated, and then cried with a "wow"!

"Woo...... Woowoowoo......"

“……”

Seeing her crying so sadly, Gao Ming didn't have to guess, he knew that she must have been frightened by firecrackers just now.

There was no way, Gao Ming could only hurry up to comfort her.

"Okay, Wan'er, don't be afraid, Lang Jun is here, let's go back to the house!"

With that, Gao Ming hugged Su Wan'er back to the house, and then carefully comforted her and eliminated her fear.

At this time, Gao Ming's attention was focused on Su Wan'er, and he didn't notice Li Mingda's big eyes beside him, which were getting brighter and brighter.

Gao Ming didn't know that while he was busy comforting Su Wan'er, a small figure had slipped into his study and swept away all the firecrackers he had hidden under his desk......

In the early hours of the morning, a loud bang broke the peace of the imperial city.

"Bang!"

The loud noise occurred in the Forbidden Garden, and with this loud noise, I don't know how many eunuchs and palace maids were pleasantly surprised from their sleep.

Just when they were still wondering if they had heard it wrong, the loud noise rang out again one after another.

"Bang...... Bang bang bang ......"

This loud sound like thunder on the flat ground immediately frightened many eunuchs and palace maids, and even Li Shimin was not spared.

Originally, Li Shimin was riding on a beautiful concubine at this time, doing something indescribable, and just as he was getting high, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside the door.

"Bang!"

"Hiss......"

Hearing this loud noise, the frightened Li Shimin suddenly gasped, and then shuddered......
