Seeing Cao Ang put all the black powder in an iron bucket the size of a cola bottle according to the pattern he gave, Yuan Yun felt that the success rate of these grenades was very high, maybe not as powerful as explosives, but this black powder grenade was definitely a terrifying killing weapon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Ang instructed one of his subordinates to bring a grenade covered with grid textures to a tunnel, and then said to Yuan Yun: "According to what Brother Yun said, I asked those craftsmen to mix a lot of broken iron in the gunpowder, and the power has really increased a lot, but it needs to be thrown by hand, and the distance is a little closer, and the time of the fire twist is not easy to master, so I can only throw it condescendingly, so I am going to throw this grenade ...... Well, make this grenade a must-have for defending the city. ”

Rumble!

There was a loud noise on the other side of the tunnel, and a puff of white smoke rose with it, and several straw men outside the tunnel were blown up and flew up, and they had already become fragmented.

Nitroglycerin, Yuan Yun secretly read four words in his heart, because although the grenade in front of him has a certain power, but the scope of the explosion is still too small, indeed as Cao Ang said, at most it can only be used to defend the city, and throwing it from the city wall to the besieging enemy will inevitably cause great casualties, but this is still far from Yuan Yun's vision, he has always hoped to build an army with modern firearms for Cao Ang in his heart, because he believes very much that the reason why this world is chaotic is because the original order has been full of holes, And to establish a new order that everyone obeys, it needs a strong force, and in this world, he trusts Cao Ang the most, and Cao Ang will not become a tyrant, Yuan Yun is very confident in this, so his expectations for Cao Ang are very big.

Anyway, Cao Ang's life itself is against history, and as for what he will achieve in the future, then God knows. Yuan Yun couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

"Yuan Shu is the emperor." Cao Ang suddenly said for no reason.

Yuan Yun was stunned, glanced at Cao Ang, and then said with a smile: "Although they are all surnamed Yuan, I don't think Yuan Shu is to be afraid, he is just a fool, and sooner or later he will be eaten by your father." ”

Cao Ang laughed and said: "I don't think Yuan Shu is our opponent either, but recently a spy came to report, saying that Yuan Shu is preparing to unite with Lu Bu in Xuzhou, and wants his son to marry Lu Bu's daughter." Lu Bu's occupation of Xuzhou has always been a big trouble for us, and if the two of them join forces, we will be attacked left and right, and the situation is not good. ”

Yuan Yun didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Although Lu Bu is stupid, but the people below him are not stupid, they will definitely advise him to marry Yuan Shu, the pseudo-emperor, that is, it is a great rebellion, and whoever is disobedient in this environment now, everyone will beat him, Lu Bu is originally a philistine, so he will definitely not agree to Yuan Shu." ”

Cao Ang glanced at Yuan Yun in confusion, and then said suspiciously: "In our Cao army, only Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao have the ability to do things like gods. How? Could it be that Brother Yun also wants to be a military advisor of an unpredictable prophet? If you are really so powerful, I promise to keep the military priest sacrificial wine in my Cao Ang's hand in the future. ”

Yuan Yun smiled, revealing his white front teeth and said: "I call this blind self-confidence, you can also call me a god stick like Sister Cao Jie, and I have a very shallow amount of alcohol, but I can't be your military priest sacrificial wine." ”

Cao Ang laughed, ignoring Yuan Yun's misunderstanding of the position of military advisor sacrificial wine, and said directly: "Brother Yun is not worried about anything, as soon as you say it, I also feel that these predicaments in front of me seem to be nothing, hurry up." ”

Yuan Yun rolled his eyes, he couldn't see Cao Ang's heartless happiness the most, so he immediately continued: "Why didn't I worry?" I'm more worried about your father's tuntian system now, most of the cultivated land was in the hands of local clans, and your father's tuntian policy has made a lot of new farmland, and the serfs arrested before are all used in your father's tuntian, whether it is Mintun or Juntun, these clans have no interests to make money, they will definitely hate your father, you better be careful. ”

Cao Ang frowned, and said suspiciously: "Listening to Brother Yun's tone, do you think my father's tuntian system is not good?" ”

Yuan Yun rolled his eyes again and replied: "It's not bad, it's that the end is not clean, since you want to engage in the tuntian system, then you should strangle those big families who are in the way, and if you keep them, they will only become rice worms, and the most powerful thing about these people is to dig the foot of the wall, if you build in front, they will demolish the platform for you in the back, they don't care about your Cao family's ambition to seek peace for the world, they just think about whether they can make their rice bowl bigger tomorrow, and they don't care if they can eat it." ”

Cao Ang hesitated for a moment before he could wonder: "When our Cao clan raised its army, we received a lot of care from these families, and now it will be chilling to uproot them?" Let's talk about this later, it's not a hurry now. ”

Yuan Yun sighed secretly, and he didn't know why Cao Ang was so afraid of these big families, but he didn't need to hold on, although these big families would continue to eat away at the wealth and stability established by the Cao family, completely ignoring everyone's life and death, but so far this kind of harm is not very urgent, Sima Yi's family has not raised their heads, it is estimated that no one in the Cao family wants to care, and he can take advantage of this relatively peaceful time to quickly get a strong army for Cao Ang. At that time, no matter how powerful a family like Sima Yi is, at most it will blow up all the way, blow them up, and then behead them who should be beheaded, and who should be confiscated from their homes, and the last word is that power comes out of the barrel of a gun.

Rumble!

Another explosion came, and a cloud of white smoke rose again next to the tunnel in the distance, Yuan Yun looked at the destroyed straw men and the wooden planks full of holes, and finally laughed darkly, this is hard power.

"By the way, who make all this gunpowder?" Yuan Yun asked with concern.

Cao Ang replied: "They are all palace uncles in the palace, I have put them all in a confidential place, they will not be able to come out for the rest of their lives, and even if there is an accident, it is not a pity to die." ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, it is estimated that Cao Ang didn't treat these eunuchs as human beings at all, so it was not a pity to say that he was dead. But Cao Cao's ancestor seems to be a eunuch, right? Why is it that now it is starting to discriminate against this vital service industry?

"If I'm not mistaken, the Son of Heaven only came to Xudu last year, right? How did you get a palace uncle so soon? Yuan Yun asked again.

Cao Ang said with a smile: "The palace in Luoyang was burned down by Dong Zhuo, and there were thousands of palace uncles who ran out at that time, where did these bloodsuckers have a way to survive when they went to the people?" So when the palace of Xudu was established, a large number of palace masters rushed over, and my father did not stop him, anyway, he would do coolies when he came, and the palace of Xudu would expand several times, and now there was a shortage of labor, so it was better to come a little more, and I also needed a lot of hands to make these grenades. ”

When Cao Ang said this, he seemed to remember something, so he continued: "My grandfather Cao Teng was also a eunuch, but do you know what kind of family law my grandfather left behind? Hmph, all palace uncles are not credible, they are slaves, and those who do things are killed! This family law is indeed good, and the later rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants is enough to prove the foresight of the grandfather, so our Cao family will not pity the palace uncle. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Yun inexplicably remembered the "Sunflower Treasure Book", I wonder if this kind of eunuch magic skill will really exist? But even if you think about it, you can't take it seriously, it's boring at the moment, so Yuan Yun simply turned out Old Man Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud Jianghu" from the chip in his brain, and then began to read it leisurely. This is already one of the few entertainment he has since traveled back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, of course, there are still some island country action movies, but he feels that his current fifteen-year-old body is not suitable for those things, in order to ensure his normal development, he can only choose to hide those tempting documents.

Cao Ang saw Yuan Yun's leisurely appearance, and he didn't know what he was thinking? So he casually asked, "You got a lot of saltpeter from me, what are you going to do with it?" ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, and hurriedly put a page on "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in his head, and then replied without a head: "Summer is coming, and the weather is hot, how can I not save some saltpeter to escape the heat?" ”

Cao Ang's face was dazed when he heard this, and he didn't know what Yuan Yun was talking about? However, after Yuan Yun finished saying this, he turned into a leisurely and leisurely appearance, so he didn't ask anything, anyway, when Yuan Yun figured it out, as long as he asked clearly, there would always be an answer.

The two of them have been walking slowly in the military village five miles outside Xudu City, talking about various things without a match, but they are also very happy.

In addition to a group of soldiers on the periphery of the military village, Yuan Yun also saw many Qingzhou soldiers, these Qingzhou soldiers were basically guarding next to some important facilities, it seemed that they were indeed the existence that the Cao family trusted very much. The military village is built on a small island in the middle of the Yinghe River, and the water flow here is also relatively fast, and it is impossible to land without a slightly larger ship.

In the afternoon, Cao Ang summoned a ship over, and then left the island with Yuan Yun, and there was a banquet waiting for the two of them this evening.
