Chapter 187: Initial Results

"Supervisor Fang, don't make trouble." Regarding Fang Tang's complaint, Shi Xuan also went in his left ear and went out in his right ear.

On the first day of his tenure as a supervisor, he had the intention of retiring, and Shi Xuan had to admit that Fang Tang was really interesting, compared to other officials, Fang Tang was also a relatively alternative existence.

And for someone like Fang Tang, Shi Xuan also saw it for the first time.

Fang Tang was just complaining at this time, after Tang Jingzong learned about the power of black powder, he was willing to let himself go

However, Fang Tang also knew that the importance of this matter to the Tang Dynasty was by no means ordinary, but to complete the task of one hundred and fifty catties by himself, this made Fang Tang also have a feeling that he had nowhere to use his strength at this time.

Sulfur is fine, but charcoal and saltpeter must be carefully screened before they can be used, but the time delayed on this screening is not half a star

If it was true that he did all these things himself, then Fang Tang really didn't have much time left in private.

"Young Eunuch Shi, you will give me fifty craftsmen." Fang Tang opened his mouth and said to Shi Xuan.

"Lord Jianzheng, Your Majesty allows you to prepare black powder by yourself, which seems to be out of order." Shi Xuan's embarrassed look also made Fang Tang smile, he knew that Shi Xuan had misunderstood what he meant.

"Of course I know, but I'm not asking the craftsman to be involved in the configuration process, I just want them to do some foul language for me."

Fang Tang's explanation made Shi Xuan show an expression that he understood.

"Lord Supervisor, come with me."

Shi Xuan took Fang Tang to find the craftsmen who were carrying them there, and after distributing the fifty craftsmen to Fang Tang, Shi Xuan stepped aside to see what Fang Tang wanted these people to do.

"Xiao Er, send someone to find some dense gauze with dense needlework, the denser the better...... If not, fishing nets are also available. Fang Tang said to Zhou Xiaoer

"Yes, Lord Supervisor." Zhou Xiaoer said that he ran out all over the world to find a gauze net.

"Crush all this charcoal, saltpeter, and brimstone, and crush as much as you can."

Although he didn't know what Fang Tang wanted to do by himself, after hearing the order of this Supervisor Lord, the fifty craftsmen began to move at this time.

Grinding sulfur and charcoal into powder is not too difficult, but in the case of saltpeter, it takes a lot of effort on the part of these craftsmen

After working for a long time, Fang Tang had already seen the initial results, and Fang Tang walked over at this time.

Three piles of powder of different colors appeared in front of Fang Tang's eyes at this time, and after touching it with his hand, Fang Tang shook his head and said to the craftsmen

"No, keep grinding!"

After the craftsmen sighed helplessly at this time, they also rolled up their sleeves and began to work hard.

Zhou Xiaoer came back with the gauze at this time, and asked the two craftsmen to pull the gauze open, Fang Tang grabbed a handful of charcoal whose surface had become powder and began the process of filtration.

Charcoal, which has become powder in the eyes of everyone, can pass very little under the test of gauze.

After shaking his head slightly, Fang Tang pointed his finger at the charcoal filtered through the gauze and said

"That's what I want, you guys do a good job, and I'll add chicken drumsticks to lunch for you."

After the craftsmen heard Fang Tang's words, they also rolled their eyes in unison.

The meaning in Fang Tang's words was as if they hadn't eaten chicken legs

"But then again, it seems like I haven't had a meat restaurant in a while."

……

The craftsmen who had hope in their hearts also had motivation at this time, and they threw off their arms at this time and began to get busy

Shi Xuan, who saw Fang Tang's every move the whole time, didn't say a word.

Before coming to the Firearms Bureau again, Tang Jingzong had looked for Shi Xuan once, and the two had been talking for a long time

"All the decisions of the Firearms Bureau are based on Fang Tang, and you are the auxiliary, but if there are some decisions that you think Fang Tang has made mistakes, you can also give Fang Tang some pointers, if Fang Tang has an opinion, you can just let him come to me."

"However, on top of the matter of black powder, Fang Tang is in charge of all decisions

If Fang Tang has any difficulties, or problems he encounters, you have to do your best to help him

But you have to remember that you can just assist from the side, and don't cross the line because of black powder, after all, it was Fang Tang who was most familiar with black powder in the Tang Dynasty. ”

Tang Jingzong's words, Shi Xuan also understood the meaning, Fang Tang's overall view and experience in officialdom were far inferior to Shi Xuan

Now he was like a freshman, in a state of ignorance, and Shi Xuan was like his mentor, helping Fang Tang adapt to this new life

This is from the perspective of officialdom, but from the point of view of the black powder matter, the identities of the two have turned the same head at this time

Although Fang Tang was young after all, in front of Shi Xuan, who knew nothing about black powder, Fang Tang, who knew how to configure black powder, became a Taishan Beidou-like existence.

Learning from each other, communicating with each other, and supervising each other, this is the purpose for which Shi Xuan was sent.

After waiting for a long time, the three items that had successfully passed the gauze were also placed in front of Fang Tang.

The craftsman moved his sore arm at this time, and after Fang Tang touched it with his hand, he also nodded

After seeing that Fang Tang was about to start configuring black powder, Shi Xuan also drove out all the people in the house, including him Shi Xuan himself.

Fang Tang, who was left alone in the house, poured sulfur charcoal saltpeter into the clay pot according to his previous memories.

A bamboo tube is inserted into the pot at one end, and the mouth of the pot is sealed with clay and fish glue...... A small bomb that didn't know how powerful it was finally appeared in Fang Tang's hands.

Holding this slightly heavy clay pot in his hand, Fang Tang also had mixed feelings in his heart at this time

"If you really succeed, how will your move be characterized by future generations?"

Cold weapons were finally eliminated, this is a real event in history, but the time of this elimination is a bit early, right?

What's more, this dynasty has not yet appeared in history...... Is it right to do it yourself? Or is it not right?

Fang Tang was a little confused at this time, but the time of confusion was not long, because now he also wanted to know if this thing was useful!

After coming out with the clay pot, Shi Xuan also looked at Fang Tang with a heavy face

Whether this thing can continue to be valued by His Majesty should be proved by facts.

Shi Xuan and Zhou Xiaoer followed Fang Tang out of the Firearms Bureau, and after explaining the situation, He Qun, the leader of the guards stationed here, also led a team of men and horses to a place where the three of them were brought to a clearing

"Remember, just run as soon as you light it! Run as fast as you can! ”

As the first Zhou Xiaoer to light the bomb, Fang Tang also kept instructing at this time

Fang Tang was afraid that he would not succeed, so the weight in this bomb was more than tripled by Fang Tang.

"Understood, understood." After Zhou Xiaoer heard Fang Tang's constant instructions, he was also nervous.

After repeated instructions, Zhou Xiaoer walked into the open space with the bomb and put it down carefully.

After a few long breaths, Zhou Xiaoer lit the bomb tremblingly, and the moment after confirming the lighting, Zhou Xiaoer ran in the direction of Fang Tang with all his strength according to Fang Tang's request.

Zhou Xiaoer almost used his strength to run, and when he was still one step away from Fang Tang, an unprecedented loud noise appeared behind him that made his legs tremble, and he was completely weak at this time. (To be continued.) )
