The formula of gunpowder is very simple, and Cao Shuo did not let people develop it before because the materials are not easy to obtain.

Even if you get a handful of sulfur and saltpeter and make gunpowder, you have to risk the recipe getting out.

Any advanced weapon put into the battlefield is to strive for victory by surprise.

Once the formula of gunpowder is obtained by others, Cao Shuo's advantage on the battlefield will be lost.

When he left the craftsman's workshop, he also specially instructed Mi Heng not to tell anyone the gunpowder formula.

Seeing the power of gunpowder, Mi Heng certainly knows how important it is.

After Cao Shuo left, he shouted to the craftsmen: "Those of you who have seen the gunpowder formula, don't leave any of them tonight." ”

The craftsmen looked at him.

"From today onwards, there will be other arrangements for where you live. Your family members will also be taken over. Mi Heng said: "Childe has ordered, no one is allowed to leak the gunpowder formula." ”

"Mi Gong rest assured." The craftsmen bowed down and said, "We will never leak the formula for gunpowder." ”

Mi Heng instructed the craftsmen to arrange new accommodations, and the craftsmen in charge of developing the gunpowder mixed the raw materials together to prepare more gunpowder.

"Childe said that there are many formulas of gunpowder, and this one is the least lethal." Mi Heng said to the craftsmen: "Not only do you have to familiarize yourself with the habits of gunpowder, but you also have to develop new recipes, with which the soldiers will be on the battlefield in the future, and the casualties will be reduced even more." ”

The craftsmen were silent, and one by one they lowered their heads and focused on studying gunpowder.

Seeing the damage caused by the explosion of gunpowder, the craftsmen no longer dared to take it lightly.

If one is not careful, it will really be a big thing!

Leaving the craftsman's workshop, Cao Shuo took Deng Zhan, Zhu Ao and others along the street.

Deng Zhan said to him: "How does Gongzi know that there is such a thing as gunpowder in the world? Before today, we were unheard of and unseen. ”

"There are many things in this world that you have not seen." Cao Shuo said: "Gunpowder is just the beginning, with gunpowder, our army will one day replace cold weapons with hot weapons." ”

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao glanced at each other, and both of them were at a loss on their faces.

"Childe ......" Zhu Ao couldn't help but ask, "What is a hot weapon?" ”

"It's a weapon of gunpowder." Cao Shuo grinned: "If everything goes well, you should be able to see each other in your life." Once the thermal weapon is successfully developed, any deep pool and high wall are not worth mentioning in front of us. ”

Having seen the power of the gunpowder explosion with their own eyes, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao still couldn't believe that they could ignore the high walls of the deep pool by developing something that used gunpowder.

"Do you two not believe me?" Seeing the blankness on the faces of the two, Cao Shuo patted their arms lightly: "Live well, as long as you live, one day you will see it." ”

The two of them bowed down and asked, "Do you want to go back now?" ”

"No, let's go to Lingyun Pavilion." Cao Shuo said.

For many years, Lingyun Pavilion has been the foundation of Cao Shuo's fundraising, and it is normal for him to go there.

The two of them accompanied him and walked towards the street where Lingyun Pavilion was located.

Cao Shuo had just walked up the street, and someone reported to the steward of Lingyun Pavilion.

Before he arrived at the door of Lingyun Pavilion, the steward greeted him.

He bowed to Cao Shuo, and the steward asked, "Why does Childe have the leisure to come here?" ”

"I didn't come here for some days, so I'll come and have a look." Cao Shuo asked, "How is Lingyun Pavilion's business lately?" ”

"Lingyun Pavilion has always had a booming business, and recently there have been more customers than before." The steward replied.

"Now that pots and stoves have become popular, many places are no longer just about cooking, do you still have an advantage?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Of course." The steward replied: "I have been asking the chef to develop new dishes all these years, and although other taverns will also do our dishes, after all, the ability to develop new dishes cannot be compared with ours. ”

"If you hadn't run Lingyun Pavilion for so many years, I'm afraid I would have died of poverty." Cao Shuo smiled and patted him: "Let's go, let's go into the store and have a look." ”

When he came here, it wasn't dinner time, and there weren't many guests in Lingyun Pavilion.

The steward originally planned to lead Cao Shuo up to the third floor, but Cao Shuo stopped.

There is a platform in the hall on the first floor of Lingyun Pavilion.

This platform used to be used to auction off the treasures excavated from the tombs of the Golden Camp.

"What is the use of this table other than auctions?" Cao Shuo asked the steward of Lingyun Pavilion.

The steward replied, "It is of almost no use except for auctions. ”

"I know you're always developing new dishes, but you also have to know that if Lingyun Pavilion wants to attract people, it has to be different from others." Cao Shuo said: "In the past, some of our practices were only to attract male customers, but now in the places I lead, women can also go out to do things, and they also have money in their hands." ”

"Childe means ......" Although the steward had already understood what Cao Shuo meant, he still wanted to ask more clearly.

"I couldn't have understood what I meant." Cao Shuo said: "Women are often more irrational than men in spending money, you have to find a way to earn the money in their hands, don't cheapen others." ”

"Although I understand what Childe means, how should a woman earn money?" The steward is still a little ungraspable.

"Lingyun Pavilion not only has to do men's business, but also women's business." Cao Shuo said: "Women are beautiful, make some incense powder and sell it to them." ”

"How can we Lingyun Pavilion do those." The steward smiled a little embarrassedly, and said to Cao Shuo: "The girls here also buy incense powder from outside......

"Call a couple of girls." didn't say anything more, Cao Shuo commanded.

The steward answered, and instructed to the side: "Find a few girls with outstanding looks to meet the son." ”

"Let's go up and talk." Walking up the stairs, Cao Shuo said to the steward: "What is the most profitable thing in this world?" I can tell you that the most profitable ones are those that no one else has done. ”

"But women's incense powder has long been made." The steward said, "And there were ...... centuries ago."

"Somebody has done things, you can make them more elaborate." Cao Shuo said: "There is a difference between incense powder and incense powder, in the past, the incense powder was wiped on the face, although it was white and fragrant, but it was not slippery and greasy, and it would make people feel tasteless to the touch." ”

Approaching the steward of Lingyun Pavilion a little closer, Cao Shuo lowered his voice and said, "It's not very refreshing to touch, let alone kiss on the mouth." ”

"Incense powder has always been like this, does Childe know how to make a better one?" The steward asked, stunned.

"I don't know, I'll find out when I go back and look into it." Cao Shuo said: "Let you find a few beauties to come over, just to smell the smell of incense powder on their bodies, I will go back and think about it slowly." ”
