Zhang Guoan went to the quarry, found the person who had used black fire/powder blasting, found a suitable place on the quarry, dug a blasting hole one meter deep, and then loaded two kilograms of colloidal dana explosives/charge, connected the fuse, and then backfilled with soil. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Everyone was driven a hundred feet away.

That's a far longer distance than usual.

People from a hundred feet away exchanged their heads with each other, thinking that it was too exaggerated.

The original Demoman was unimpressed.

Zhang Guoan said: "Don't think it's black fire/medicine, be serious!" ”

The Demoman immediately got serious, and little by little he put the fuse with him.

This time, the fuse was made by Zhang Guoan himself, and it was lengthened to seven meters.

Once lit, pull the Demoman and run!

Two hundred meters away, there was a natural rock shelter, where they took refuge.

The fuse he had made himself would burn for about thirty seconds, so they had a little time to run to the back.

I just took a few breaths, and I didn't hear a bang.

Zhang Guoan looked at his watch, it had been five seconds, could it be that the fuse was broken when loading the soil?

It is not possible that the explosives are damp, and the gummy dana explosives/charges are extremely resistant to water.

The Demoman was about to say something, when there was a loud thud of the sky cracking!

This loud bang may be the largest artificially created sound in human history so far!

Even Zhang Guoan himself was taken aback, holding his head tightly with both hands.

He didn't see the explosion, but people from 300 meters away did.

When they saw a large red flash of fire, they immediately heard a loud bang, black smoke rising more than ten feet high, and countless pieces of rubble rose into the sky!

Although they were being accused far more violently than before, many were still unprepared. Frightened to the ground.

The rubble fell back to the ground, and the black smoke was not smoke, but dirt and dust.

Zhang Guoan and the demoman slowly poked their heads out and looked at the blasting effect.

He knew that the blast he had instructed was either too much stuffed or too shallow. In short, it doesn't work well.

Zhang Guoan deliberately said in a matter-of-fact manner: "When you go to blast in a river area, the blasting hole is still the same deep, but the charge cannot exceed one kilogram-----"

The Demoman's face turned pale, and he nodded hurriedly.

Zhang Guoan looked at the blasting effect again, and felt that he still needed to persuade Jing Jing to let himself process nitrified dry oil, how many things did he save at once? !

As long as there is ice water, the warm method is useful, and he can control the temperature.

Huang Zu knew that the Liuqiu Guards had changed their outfits, and there was also a "Kill You" spear that could take the general's head from a hundred zhang away. At that time, I took the opportunity to send back iron ore.

He begged Captain Bao Wei to let him see the spear, the two had a good relationship, otherwise Captain Bao Wei would not let anyone else touch it.

After Huang Zu tried the gun, he went to Zhang Guoan at that time.

Huang Zu said: "Zhang Chuantou, thousands of stones of iron ore have been screened out below, and hundreds of indigenous people have also been recruited to help, both men and women------ can you let someone come back?" ”

Zhang Guoan said: "So much recruitment? Tell us about the situation. ”

"It's just like what Zhang said. Just help sift through the sand, give them grain and cotton linen----- and then pass it on to ten. Ten hundred people know about it, and the natives of that place know it.

There were also those who wanted to rob, and they ordered people to shoot a burst of arrows, led the pikes, and stabbed them to the ground at once, without using arquebuses at all! ”

This kid is still proud. Thinking is still stuck in the era of cold weapons.

"Killing is not the goal, deterrence is important!"

What Zhang Guoan means is that you should scare them with arquebuses.

"Exactly, only a few people were killed in the next place----- the rest were caught and punished for labor."

Zhang Guoan could only nod, feeling that this kid still didn't understand what he meant. It needs to be trained a little more.

Zhang Guoan agreed to his request, asked him to appoint someone to take over the management of the place for him, and asked the ship to bring back the necessary daily necessities.

Zhang Guoan said: "You can stay here, but there is a request, you have to help Captain Bao Wei train a bow and arrow team and a spear team, which can be used as a supplement to the arquebus team when marching. ”

"Under ------"

"It's an order, it's done."

Huang Zu had no choice but to leave, and he saw that Zhang Guoan's attitude was very resolute.

If you like cold weapons, you can practice well.

In the arquebus era, the arquebus team could not be protected without cold weapons.

Zhang Guoan looked at his unhappy back, and thought with a smile, you don't know how I will arrange your position in the future, and the task is still very heavy.

Zhang Guoan plans to arrange him to Li Tingzhi in Yangzhou in the future.

In the winter of 1269, the imperial court ordered Li Tingzhi to send an ambassador to Xiangyang with the Jinghu system, but for whatever reason, he returned in vain.

The reason why Zhang Guoan wanted to help Li Tingzhi was that he saw that he could defend Yangcheng to the death and consult the country with death, so he gave up all opportunities to surrender at that time.

Zhang Guoan may be a historical consequentialist, who believes that if a person can die for the cause he believes in or is loyal to, then the person is at least an upright person.

And it will never be a belief in two moral systems, nor will it be a disagreement.

So such people deserve to be saved!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Zhang Guoan still can't figure out a thing in history, pepper is said to have been in the Western Han Dynasty, but until the present of the Great Song Dynasty, they are still very expensive, and a pound can be sold for 20 yuan!

In Europe at this time, pepper was worth as much as gold, and a person who made a long trip could carry gold coins or pepper, and when the money was spent, he would pay the bill with pepper, and he would not be beaten.

Europeans regard pepper as a spice, an indispensable spice for the upper class, but Europe does not produce this spice and relies on imports.

At that time, India and Southeast Asia were the main producers of pepper, and the Arabs imported pepper from India, shipped it to Egypt, and wholesaled it to Italians in Egypt, and then the Italians transferred it to Venice, where it was wholesaled to retailers, and then changed hands several times before it reached consumers.

This is a long way, the procedure is complicated, the high freight cost and the middleman increase the price, so it is no wonder that pepper is not valuable.

But China is not the same as Europe, and China's Hainan and Guangzhou already started to produce pepper during the Song Dynasty.

But their production is too small to meet demand.

The two places together, the annual output is not more than 200 catties!

This is really something that Zhang Guoan can't figure out, how difficult is it to grow pepper?!

Their wealthy families in the Great Song Dynasty could even use pepper to calculate family property, and even in the Tang Dynasty, there was a huge greed that embezzled eighty tons of pepper!

That's not paper money.

In this era, the rich and noble families needed pepper to cook, doctors needed pepper to dispense medicine, Taoist health care needed pepper, and superstitious scholars and doctors who wanted to aphrodisiac also had to help with pepper.

Fortunately, the shipping of the Great Song Dynasty is extremely developed, foreign trade is extremely prosperous, and a large amount of pepper is shipped into the country, so it will naturally not be as scarce as in Europe, but for ordinary people, it is still a rare ingredient.

Take Lin'an City as an example, the common people are usually reluctant to eat pepper, and only when distinguished guests come to the door, it is possible to put a few grains in the soup bowl.

Zhang Guoan was determined to make a lot of money from the rich people of the Song Dynasty.

This is the correct means of economic development. (To be continued.) )
