The loud noise stunned Cao Shuo and the others' ears for a while.

Rubbing his ears, Cao Shuo shook his head and muttered: "It's addictive to set off guns, and there are several of them in this meeting." ”

Deng Zhan also felt that his ears were buzzing, but he didn't rub it, let alone make a sound.

After this loud noise, the steward of the craftsman's workshop ran out of it.

When he came to Cao Shuo, he hunched his waist and said with a worried expression: "I didn't know that Gongzi was here, just now they let them try another one, and they disturbed Gongzi, please don't blame." ”

"It seems to be good to listen to the sound." Cao Shuo asked the steward, "What's wrong?" ”

"The kind that Childe said doesn't need a fuse, and I haven't made it yet." The steward said: "What I tried just now is that you need to ignite the fuse before it can be detonated. ”

"The army will soon be on its way." Cao Shuo said: "I don't have time to wait for you to create fuzes that don't need fuzes, take me to see those that need fuzes first." ”

The steward responded and led Cao Shuo into the craftsman's workshop.

Cao Shuo arrived, and there were already guards greeting the craftsmen.

If it weren't for the guards to tell them, the craftsmen who didn't know that Cao Shuo was here might have put a few more.

Entering the workshop compound, Cao Shuo saw a group of craftsmen standing in front of several wooden boxes.

Seeing him coming, the craftsmen bowed and saluted.

"No need to be polite." Cao Shuo raised his hand and asked the steward, "What kind of bomb was put just now?" ”

The steward replied, "I just tried these in the box." ”

When he came to the box, Cao Shuo instructed the steward, "Take one and show it to me." ”

The steward complied, and took out a black ball from the box.

The shape of the ball is very similar to the most primitive bomb that Cao Shuo has ever known about in books.

The black surface is accompanied by a round shape, like an oversized ball of sheep dung.

There is also a fuse hanging at one end of the "sheep dung ball", which looks very funny.

"It's still good." Handing the bomb back to the steward, Cao Shuo said, "You were so happy just now, you should put a few for me to see." ”

"What are you still doing?" The steward instructed the craftsmen, "Put a few of them for the son." ”

One of the craftsmen picked up a bomb and ran into the distance.

"How did you run so far?" Seeing that he ran twenty or thirty steps, Cao Shuo asked, "Is it so powerful?" ”

"It's still a little unsafe to be so far away." The steward said, "We made these things according to the method taught by Childe, and we almost hurt people when we tried it the first time. ”

"Almost hurt someone?" Cao Shuo hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's too close." The steward replied: "Fortunately, there is a wall next to it, otherwise there will be some casualties." ”

"That's luck." Hearing that there were no casualties, Cao Shuo breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that there are no injuries." ”

The craftsman who ran away with the bomb placed it on the ground, then picked up a torch and carefully lit the fuse.

The fuse sparked, and the craftsman with the torch turned around and ran.

He was about to run in front of Cao Shuo and the others, and the bomb exploded with a "boom".

The bomb lifted up a piece of soil on the ground, which showed that the power was not small.

Cao Shuo nodded with satisfaction and said to the steward: "You have done a good job, although it is still far from what I want, but this kind of bomb can be sent to the battlefield to scare the enemy army." ”

"I can't satisfy my son, I'm really scared." The steward answered.

"When you can make the kind of bombs I want, you're not going to be satisfied with just making them." Cao Shuo said: "I told you that gunpowder has many uses, and if it is used properly, it can even determine how big our country will be!" ”

"I've written down everything Childe said." The steward answered.

Cao Shuo asked people to set off a bomb, and he was still very satisfied with the effect.

was explaining to the steward about the development of the bomb, and Zhu Ao led Mi Heng to come.

When he arrived at Cao Shuo's side, Mi Heng saluted and asked, "What are the instructions for the prince to call me over?" ”

"Do you think the Craftsman's Workshop is too noisy in this place?" Looking at Mi Heng, Cao Shuo asked.

"Since Childe arranged for the craftsman's workshop to develop gunpowder, it is indeed a lot more noisy here than before." Miyo replied.

"The people know that you are developing new weapons." Cao Shuo said: "They didn't come here to make trouble with you, but you also have to think about how not to cause trouble for the people." ”

"Unless Childe orders the relocation of the craftsman's workshop outside the city." Mi Heng said: "As long as you are still in the city, you will definitely cause trouble for the people." ”

"I'll just warn you, but you talked to me about the conditions." Cao Shuo smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Say, where do you think there is a suitable place outside the city?" ”

"Bagong Mountain is good." Mi Heng said, "If you can settle the craftsman's workshop there......"

"Settle there, away from the army." Cao Shuo said: "Once someone steals a new weapon, or someone maliciously destroys it, can you and the craftsmen resist it?" ”

was stunned by Cao Shuo's question, Mi Heng didn't know how to respond.

"I'm going to send you to Penglai." Cao Shuo said: "Penglai is located overseas, far from the inland, and there are naval patrols in the East China Sea around it. Even if there were thieves who tried to disadvantage the craftsman's workshop, they did not have any chance to do so. ”

Looking at the craftsmen, Cao Shuo asked, "What do you think?" ”

"I haven't seen the sea since I'm so big." The steward said: "It's nothing else, it's just that I don't know if we can live the habit of going to Penglai." ”

"The scenery of Penglai is not bad." Cao Shuo said: "If you go there, you will have the opportunity to come back every year." Anyone who goes, every one of them I will let people settle their family business in Penglai in advance. You can all move there, and in addition to that, I will each give you two stunning ladies as concubines. ”

Cao Shuo not only asked people to settle the family business for them, but also allowed them to take the family with them, and the stewards and craftsmen were a little moved.

What made them even more disturbed in their hearts was that they would each send two stunning girls as concubines.

You must know that since women have been involved in more and more things under Cao Shuo's rule, many women have higher requirements for men.

Although there are still more women than men, women still want to marry a man who can give them a more stable life.

Since women were more independent, it was not easy for craftsmen to marry another concubine in the past.

Unexpectedly, Cao Shuo promised to give each of them two as soon as he opened his mouth, and they were also stunning beauties.

"Thank you, Childe!" The steward took the lead in thanking Cao Shuo.

All the craftsmen bowed down and shouted in unison, "Thank you, Childe!" ”

"Your dedication to developing new weapons is the best thank you to me." Cao Shuo said: "Needless to say, Miheng will arrange for you to go to Penglai in a few days." ”
