A person of Wang Shouren's status will be repaid for his favors, so how can he talk about it. What's more, he had just said it through Guo Xun's mouth, and he wouldn't say anything like repayment. You're not welcome, took the medicine handed over by Li Feibai, and said, "I think, let's leave Jiyuan tomorrow morning and go where we should go." I stayed in Jiyuan for too long, and if I stayed any longer, I was afraid that I would be said by the villagers that I was not filial. ”

Guo Xun originally had to persuade Wang Shouren to stay for a few more days, at least wait for the medicine to be finished, and if the illness was not completely cured, let Li Feibai think of a way again. When I heard Wang Shouren's last sentence, it was not easy to persuade again.

On the surface, Wang Shouren was afraid that others would say that he was unfilial, but secretly he was warning Guo Xun that the emperor would be unhappy if you stayed any longer, thinking that you were a disobedient and disloyal minister, then it would be difficult to do!

Guo Xun is a child of a family and is in a high position, so he knows that guarding the system is something that can be done for a big official like Wang Shouren. After all, the official positions above the fifth grade are all a radish and a pit, you go home to guard the system for three years, and when you come back, how can you still have a foothold.

Therefore, all officials whose parents are dead can hide it, but they really can't hide it, and they are willing to ask the emperor to "win love". For example, Wang Shouren, as soon as he heard that his father was dead, he immediately hung up his official hat and went home to guard the system, which is really a first-class filial son. I went back a few days late, not to mention that relatives and neighbors couldn't say anything, and officials and officials couldn't say anything.

He's different! He returned to Beijing on the order of the Holy Order, and if he did not return for a long time, the emperor was unhappy, and he also told the officials in the court with ulterior motives.

Guo Xun sighed and said, "Then so be it!" ”

A group of people waited for dinner at Wang Ding's house, and Li Feibai said goodbye and left. Before dawn the next day, Li Feibai led Qin Meng and each carried a box to see him off.

Guo Xun watched Li Feibai move the box straight to his car, and Qin Meng carried another box to Wang Shouren's car, and his brows couldn't help frowning. When the Shangguan leaves, the lower official gives gifts to the Shangguan, this kind of thing is common. If the lower official gives a gift, he may be reprimanded by the official. If the lower official does not send it, the upper official will blame him, thinking that the lower official does not pay attention to him. However, he appreciates Li Feibai very much, and Li Feibai cured Wang Shouren's illness, both of them are commensurate with uncles and nephews, and Li Feibai also came to give gifts, what does this mean?

Could it be that Li Feibai thought that he or Wang Shouren didn't understand the meaning of learning about Entubao, and was afraid that they would forget his merits, so he sent a generous gift to remind them that it would not work?

Guo Xun pointed to the box unhappily and said, "Feibai, let's take it back!" ”

Li Feibai said: "Uncle Guo and Uncle Wang, this is the little nephew who made some gadgets to honor the two uncles and uncles." If you think it's good, please ask the second elder to advertise for your little nephew. ”

Guo Xun didn't understand what the advertisement meant for a while, so he didn't say anything. and Wang Shouren mounted their horses and went to the east together. When they arrived in Neixiang County, the two said goodbye, one crossed the Yellow River and went to Kaifeng Mansion, and the other continued to the east, heading towards Weihui Mansion.

In the evening, when it was time to eat, Guo Xun sat at the table of the inn, drinking tea while watching the entourage move the things in the car into the house, and saw the box sent by Li Feibai. He beckoned his attendant to carry the box, and ordered his attendant to open it.

Guo Xun thought that Li Feibai said that the things in the box were some gadgets made by himself, but he was afraid that it was just a pretext. It must have been a valuable gift or a rare treasure, but when the attendant opened the box, he found that it contained a crudely made firecracker, as well as many small wooden boxes.

Guo Xun, as the governor of Liangguang, was originally a military general, and he was very familiar with the firecracker. He was very surprised, and said secretly: "I really didn't see that this kid can also make firecrackers." "I picked it up and looked at it, but I found that this fire gun was a little different from the fire gun I had seen before, and there was a mechanism under the gun that could be pulled.

He held the gun and pulled the mechanism with his fingers, trying to see what the mechanism was up to. After two deductions and no response, he brought the hammer to his eyes and pondered it carefully, and after a while, he found that there was a mechanism in the place where the gunpowder twist was contained, which seemed to be an iron ram, and the pressure backwards could pull the ram to the back and jam it, and then the mechanism under the gun body was deducted, and the ram was reset with lightning speed, hitting a thin fire sickle, and rubbing out a string of downward sparks.

Guo Xun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly poured out gunpowder and iron beads from the two bags hanging on the gun, put them into the barrel, and pressed them tightly with a stabbing strip. Then he walked to the secluded part of the inn, pulled up the ram, took a random aim, and pulled the trigger under the gun. At this moment, the ram fell, and the spark ignited the gunpowder in the barrel of the gun, and with a loud "boom", the target was shattered.

This sound not only alarmed the Jinyi guards who were on guard everywhere, but also alarmed the guys and guests who were eating and staying at the inn, and they came to look for it, but what they saw was Guo Xun standing there with a face of gunpowder foam and laughing.

Jin Yiwei hurriedly stepped forward to protect Guo Xun, and He Tianchong asked nervously, "Master Hou, is there something wrong?" ”

Guo Xun shook his head and said, "It's okay!" When he turned around, he saw that dozens of people had gathered around him, waved his hand and said, "I tried it, but I didn't expect to alarm everyone." It's time to eat, to sleep. ”

The people watching the excitement looked at the gun in Guo Xun's hand and knew what was going on. Seeing that Guo Xun's entourage was fierce and vicious, he was not the master who could provoke him, so he hurriedly dispersed in all directions.

Guo Xun was escorted by the Jinyi Guard, and walked to the front hall again, playing with the gun in his hand as he walked. He is the one who leads the troops into battle, and of course he knows what such a firecracker means! With the guns that the Ming army is equipped with now, the time to issue one gun is enough for this gun to fire three guns, if such a gun can be equipped to the Ming army, not to mention anything else, the combat effectiveness of the firearms battalion can be increased by three times?

It's a pity that the production of this gun is too rough, especially the iron used in the gun tube, the quality is too poor, and the gun is sent dozens of hundreds of guns, just afraid that the gun tube will be bent and deformed, and it is possible to blow up and bored directly.

He immediately wanted to return to Jiyuan and take Li Feibai back to the capital. When he arrived in the capital, Li Feibai didn't do anything, just made guns. But after thinking about it, I gave up again.

First, this back and forth will be delayed for two days. Second, this time he went to the capital, God knows what kind of official the emperor will give him. If he is still the officer in charge of the army, he can bring Li Feibai over to make a firecracker. If you don't care about the soldiers, you don't have a place to make guns, and even if you make guns, you can't call the shots, and it is not easy to equip the army.

Therefore, everything has to wait until we get to the capital.

He couldn't get enough of putting the gun back in the box, and took out a small wooden box and a piece of paper. It is stated on the paper that the contents of the small wooden box are called cooling oil, which has the effect of relieving itching. Jingshi is an important place in the Ming Dynasty and has a large population, if Uncle Guo uses it well, please sell it on his behalf.

Guo Xun happened to be bitten by a mosquito on the back of his hand, so he opened the small wooden box and smeared it with cool oil. The cooling oil really worked, and after a while, the itching in the large bag stopped, and the swelling slowly began to decrease.

He stared at the piece of paper, and suddenly understood what Li Feibai meant by advertising, thinking that it was to find a market for cool oil in Beijing.
