Chapter 127

As the two of them were talking, they saw a large ball of fire flash in the sky, followed by a cloud of black smoke, and immediately a rumbling sound followed.

The two of them were startled, and reacted at the same time, and Old Man Zhang immediately said: "No, this voice is not right, why is it so loud?" Do fireworks have such a loud sound? What are they going to do? If this thing were to fall into the crowd, it would be dead? ”

Old man Bi also swallowed his saliva in shock, and said: "That's true, it's not ordinary fireworks, I know, I know what this thing is, this is the weapon that the Ministry of Industry and the soldiers in the capital haven't been researching, okay, the Zhang family really knows how to use this thing, what kind of evil spirit?"

This thing is clearly a weapon for killing, the firecrackers they made before are absolutely different from this thing, I don't believe they didn't know the power of this thing when they made firecrackers, otherwise how could they take care of the workshop so closely? ”

Old man Bi stopped swallowing his saliva now, he was swallowed, looking at the black smoke in the sky that gradually dissipated, his whole body trembled, and his face also felt a feeling of numbness.

Old man Zhang also knew about this, but he didn't understand what the Zhang family was doing with these things, and asked, "The Zhang family doesn't want to rebel, right?" With such good things, the ordinary army is in trouble, especially the horses and livestock, and they will be frightened when they hear such a big movement. ”

"What rebellion? Just by virtue of the Zhang family? I don't know what they're going to do, no, I have to ask, go, delay it any longer, if this matter is known to someone with a heart, then it will be troublesome, the court hasn't done it yet, they just got things out, what kind of consequences do you say? ”

Old man Bi didn't have the heart to go fishing now, so he wanted to figure things out as soon as possible, and the two of them asked the people who came with him to pack their things, and they sat in the open car and rushed in that direction.

In the process of hurrying, there was a huge movement in the sky from time to time, which seemed to be bigger and bigger each time, and the smoke was more and more each time, which showed that the weight was also increasing.

The horse ran for a while, but at last he did not dare to pass, and it was useless to chase the charioteer.

Old man Zhang and Old man Bi had to get out of the car and walk over there, wanting to know what the Zhang family was going to do, and when they were about to reach the place, there was a bigger movement there, but it was not in the sky, but on the ground.

After waiting for the two of them to be seen by the people in the inner courtyard of the Zhang family outside, Wang Juan, who was doing experiments inside, came out to greet them.

"Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Bi, why are you two here? There's a lot of movement here, so let's go somewhere else. ”

Wang Juan stood at the entrance of the courtyard and didn't let go, just said to the two old men.

"Do you know that there is a lot of movement? We all know that we stay over there, and if we don't come again, won't you blow up the sky? Tell me why you are so bold, can you take that thing out of the way? ”

Old man Bi said angrily, and made a pun, Wang Juan naturally understood what that day meant, but she had to make enough things to protect her own people, and she had to do experiments before this.

Seeing that the two old men both looked concerned, Wang Juan hesitated, and finally gave up the position, and said, "Okay, Grandpa Bi, Grandpa Zhang, I have made another interesting thing, come in and take a look." ”

Since the two people have found it, Wang Juan can't stop it, it's better to take the initiative, Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi also came for this matter, followed Wang Juan and walked in, and when they got inside, they saw a bamboo tube that had been blown up on the ground, when the two of them were curious, they didn't wait to ask, Wang Juan took the initiative to say:

"That's it, it's fun, come on, do it again like that just now, Grandpa Bi, Grandpa Zhang, this fun thing must not be said now, otherwise it won't be fun."

"Don't worry, we are all protecting you, and we know what to say and what not to say." Old man Bi watched the people over there busy, and said to Wang Juan.

The people in the inner courtyard brought a new bamboo tube, and then fixed it underneath, and brought a large round firework, and left the twist outside, and then went in, and then lit the fire, and ran away.

With a bang, the bamboo tube sprayed inside, and a big fireball went up to the sky, and exploded with a bang in the sky, and it was closer at this time, and the movement was bigger than just now.

After this was done, the people in the inner courtyard stuffed a paper wrapped tube into the bamboo tube, and also lit a twist, and the ground ran faster.

When the old man opened his mouth to say something, a big fireball also came out of it, and then exploded in the sky, this fireball just exploded, and another one came out of it, so five came out in a row, and the sky also exploded five times, and when the people around were waiting for the sixth to come out, the bamboo tube suddenly exploded all at once.

Wang Juan sighed in disappointment, let go of the hand that blocked his ears and said: "Failed again, the usual fireworks are thirty rounds and nothing happens, this has changed slightly, how can five come out of ten, last time the one actually came out and exploded, where is the difference?"

The gunpowder burned too fast, and the twists inside were not connected well, no, this has to continue to come, come on, take the copper cylinder, sink it, it's better than being blown up at any time, if this thing is blown up, what can the people who resist? ”

Old man Zhang and old man Bi listened to Wang Juan muttering there, and the two of them began to sweat vigorously, now they finally knew what the Zhang family was doing, this is to put that thing in the tube and carry it on their shoulders, if the fireworks that are put directly in the sky are not in the sky, then now this thing can adjust its direction at any time.

Even if it's not so accurate, the approximate range is still no problem, if this thing is placed horizontally, and today's fireworks are so powerful, it is definitely not for viewing, it can blow people up.

The Zhang family is definitely used as a weapon, and the two of them don't know why the Zhang family brought Wang Juan over to do this experiment, but this thing can't be wrong, Old Man Bi looked at Wang Juan and asked, "Can you tell us, what is this?" ”

"Fireworks, big fireworks, and this firework can still be adjusted, but unfortunately, this thing hasn't been completely done yet, if it does, it won't explode before it is launched."

Wang Juan explained to Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi with an innocent face.

Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi nodded at the same time, and Old Man Bi said again: "I know this thing is called fireworks, but can you tell us what the consequences will be if this fireworks are set off against people?" ”

"Put it on people? Why put it on people, this thing can't be put on people, it's very dangerous, it's easy to blow people up, oops, so I remembered that this power is a bit too big, let people get less in the future, that's it. ”

Wang Juan is still that cute, but now Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi don't think she is cute anymore, this little girl actually lies to her face without blushing.

"Actually, I'm just asking you, can this thing be made into a weapon, you must know that the imperial court is still researching it, but it hasn't been researched, you got it out first, how are you going to explain it?" Old man Zhang asked the truth.

Wang Juan didn't continue to ask questions like he did just now, and said: "This thing can't be used as a weapon, it's just to scare and scare people, if you really want to make a weapon, then you need to continue to research, my family makes this thing to scare people."

Don't look at the movement of this thing, but if you really want to use something to blow up people, then you have to stare at one person to put it, but where will this fly after going out, it is not certain, especially when fighting, this thing flies out sideways at a distance that is not as far as a bow and arrow, who will use it as a weapon. ”

Wang Juan first introduced the shortcomings of this thing, and then said: "Unless, put some iron nails or something in this, and when the time comes, even if you can't directly blow people up, those things will fly everywhere."

If it flies to the throat and eyes, it will be powerful, even if it enters someone else's stomach, as well as legs, arms or something, it can also affect the next battle, well, yes, that's it, but our Zhang family doesn't like this, we and others want to do things well, so we won't use them as weapons. ”

After Wang Juan finished saying these words, he looked at Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi silently, and let the two of them digest it well, the two old men were already frightened by what Wang Juan said, even if Wang Juan repeatedly emphasized that their family loves peace, the two of them no longer believe it, what kind of peace-loving, really peace-loving people would make such a thing?

Lie to whom, but the two of them are very happy, like Wang Juan said, if this thing is directly used to do something, it may not work, but as long as something else is added to it, it can cause great harm to people.

Especially if you can carry it on your shoulders, if everyone in the army on your side carries some, then use bows and arrows first, and when you wait for the two sides to charge, you can light this thing, and the enemies you face directly will be knocked down immediately, especially in the face of cavalry, and you will be scared from your horse to the ground.

"Can you tell me how this thing is doing, I'll have to help you smooth this thing out." After Old Man Bi understood the role of this thing, he began to ask for a prescription.

Wang Juan nodded, shook his head again, and said, "There is a recipe, but how did you send this recipe to Grandpa Bi?" Do you want to use carrier pigeons, or do you want to make military posts? I won't say much about how valuable this recipe is, in case there is a little bit of something on the way, then let people from other countries get it, what do you say at that time? ”

That's right, this recipe can't have any possibility of leakage, otherwise, it's over, just give such a good weapon to others and send it to others, if the surrounding countries that have not dared to fight for the time being know this recipe, think about it, you can know, they will definitely make a large number of and then come to attack.

The two old men were embarrassed at this time, and Wang Juan said next to him: "I think the imperial court is not short of this time and a half, and when we go back, we will bring it over, and soon, it will be almost time to finish the construction of Luzhou."

And during this time, we can continue to improve this method and find better recipes, so that we don't have to work the people of the imperial court, and we can naturally know the best if we can make it. ”

Wang Juan said this, but in his heart, he had already decided that those more powerful things in the future must not be easily known by others, otherwise they would not all be sent to the imperial court? Why don't you have to keep some back hands in your own home?

Old man Zhang and Old man Bi really had no other better way, nodded at the same time, and were ready to leave, let the Zhang family continue to do experiments, as soon as they turned around, Wang Juan didn't wait to breathe a sigh of relief, and the two of them turned back at the same time, looked at Wang Juan and asked: "Your fleet here seems to be different from before, what do you want to do?" ”

The two of them only remembered this question when they turned around just now, and asked again very tacitly.

"Don't do anything, go to the sea, go to the sea to have a look, if you can get something good, get it back, if there is something delicious, I will keep it for Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Bi to eat slowly." Wang Juan said to the two of them with a smile.

The two old men were very moved when they heard Wang Juan's words, and they thought about them with some good things, but they always felt that things were not so simple, Old Man Zhang stared at Wang Juan vigorously, and Wang Juan looked back in confusion with big eyes.

"Okay, let's be honest, what's going on? And what is the purpose of bringing those things, that is, the dried fruit is still so many kinds of rice, and even the tools used for distilling spirits, to go out to the sea to bring this? Why didn't you bring it before? ”

Old man Zhang couldn't see anything in Wang Juan's eyes, so he could only ask directly.

Wang Juan made a sudden expression: "Oh~! It turns out that this is the thing.,This is to prepare for the sea.,It's just not according to the previous road to the capital.,It's a long way in the sea.,Maybe you can find other places.,It's like ***.。

In the beginning, who knew that there was such a place, and it wasn't that someone had gone by boat, or someone over there had come by boat, but we were going to see if we could find other places like this, and if we found it, if there were people on it, we could do business with them, and communicate with them. ”

The meaning of Wang Juan's words is all speculation, not so sure, the two old men finally can't hear any flaws now, no matter how they think about it, they can't imagine that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have given the place, and they are going to cause a war.

Old man Bi pondered for a moment and said, "It turned out to be like this, but you let them go to sea, what if they encounter danger?" Those things are just preparing them to go further, right? ”

"That's right, that's it, you can't drink the water at sea, you can get water with that distilled thing, those fruits are for disease prevention, and the others are like this, I don't know how long it will take to go out this time, if you can't find your way by a gust of wind, you have to look for it to come back, how can you do it if you're not ready?"

Wang Juan didn't hide this matter, and of course she didn't say what kind of disease these things were used to treat, but she would get sick.

Old man Zhang was also listening and thinking on the side, and when Wang Juan finished explaining, he said: "When you arrived at the place, you really met people, do you people here speak over there?" What to do if you fight? ”

"Yes, our people here don't speak the words over there, even some individuals who live in the mountains don't speak them, I'm really worried, in case they bully us, our people will be beaten as soon as they get there, there's really no good way, when we think about it, we will tell Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Bi when we think about it."

Wang Juan also showed a sad look, following Old Man Zhang's words.

"What else do you want? Isn't it just to go somewhere else and not suffer losses, so that's why the fireworks were made? What should have been thought of a long time ago, the Zhang family has always been forced to do things to that point before they are willing to take out the hidden things.

Juanjuan, to be honest, do you think that there will be woods in the place you are going to, and there will be a lot of local people over there? ”

Old man Bi suddenly interjected at this time, and asked Wang Juan.

"I don't know, who knows what the place to go looks like, maybe you won't be able to find land at all." Wang Juan replied in confusion.

"No, you must know, otherwise why would your family go into the mountains to train? And you guys made that awesome firework here, what does that mean? It means that you must know something over there, forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, and when you come back, it will be clear, remember to keep good things for me and Old Man Zhang. ”

Old man Bi is not a fool after all, how could someone who can sit in the position of Shangshu not think of the things that have been exposed, and immediately connect all the clues together.

At this time, he was really convinced, and it was not good if he was not convinced, when the Zhang family was doing things here, at first he felt that he had changed a little bit before, that is, the interlocking approach, and this side was a means to deal with things only when encountered.

Who knew that this was the Zhang family carrying out a larger layout, no wonder the dock was built so big, no wonder it was necessary to build such a large dock, no wonder it was necessary to train the army vigorously here, no wonder this explosive weapon was taken out, it turned out that everything was for the last step.

It is conceivable that when you really go over there and find the land and people, you must know that each place in Datang may have different specialties, some are good-looking, and some can be used as medicinal materials, who knows what good things are over there?

The Zhang family is going outside to make a lot of money, good skills, but I don't know when this plan started, if it was arranged when Zhang Zhong was here to be an assassin, it would be too scary.

Thinking of this, Old Man Bi's face was a little unsightly, he was frightened, this kind of huge layout was not something he could figure out, he was a person who had been a scholar, he couldn't guess it, the ability of the two masters of the Zhang family can be imagined, and he even knew what diseases he was prone to when he went to sea, and he also made corresponding preparations.

Old man Bi's face was not good-looking, and the old man Zhang next to him was also frightened, at the beginning, he was really not as much as Old Man Bi thought, but now that Old Man Bi said it, he didn't know and knew.

He had also heard about the Zhang family's affairs in Sanshui County and Huayuan County, as long as they did something that seemed untouchable, then there must be a connection between them, and finally the matter became bigger and bigger, to the point that everyone couldn't think of it.

So it seems to be the same now, but it is not clear whether the Zhang family's current approach is to the last step, or just for a certain part of the layout, I can't guess, the biggest possibility is a certain link.

Probably only after Zhang Zhong left here in front of him, can he know what the result of this layout will be, and it will scare a lot of people like before.

The two old men glanced at each other, nodded at Wang Juan, and left without saying anything.

Wang Juan stood in the courtyard, watched the two of them leave, smiled and said to himself: "Guess it, guess hard, if Xiaobao's layout can be seen directly, then he is not Zhang Xiaobao, hum, even I don't know what will happen in the end, do you want to guess?" ”

Old man Zhang and Old man Bi, who left the courtyard, walked very slowly, they were hit today, and what they had been trying to figure out turned out not to be understood until now, to be precise, they figured it out a little bit, but they were greeted with more unknowns and doubts.

"Let's go, go fishing, if you don't understand, you don't want to, one day it will be clear, as long as the Zhang family doesn't rebel, don't worry, it seems that they won't rebel either, especially the kind of loyalty of the Zhang family to the imperial court, there is still no problem."

Old man Bi didn't want to bother thinking about it after he couldn't figure it out, just wait and see, but his current body is still tough enough to live a few more years, and then he will know what the Zhang family is like.

Old man Zhang was not as open as Old Man Bi thought, he was still pondering, the more he pondered, the more he felt a headache, suddenly, he thought of a very important thing, and said to Old Man Bi:

"You said that if they really found the land outside, the land was still full of people like the mountain people, and they were beaten down, can they still be controlled by this side? Even if the people of both of them run to establish the country, we can't do anything about it. ”
