"Brother Zeng, I don't know if you know one thing, that is, the firecrackers set off by ordinary people during the New Year's Festival!" After Xiao Mo was polite to the three of them, he directly asked Zeng Gongliang about the black powder.

"Firecracker students naturally know, but what adults are talking about, I'm afraid it's more than just firecrackers, right?" Zeng Gongliang asked rhetorically, since he found Xiao Mo's door this time, there must be a reason.

This reason is the mysterious package that Xiao Mo had reversed in his hand in the battle of Cangshan!

Others don't know, but Zeng Gongliang knows something, the origin of that mysterious package.

Because he has studied black powder, but he has never found a way to increase the power of black powder and use it on the battlefield!

But Xiao Mo did it!

So Zeng Gongliang called himself a student in front of Xiao Mo, even though he was a few years older than Xiao Mo!

Xiao Mo nodded and said to Zeng Gongliang: "Yes, you also know the black powder, but just the scattered gunpowder has no power at all, and the same is true for firecrackers, not that the more black powder is charged, the bigger the firecrackers, the more powerful they are, and in the middle, there is also a science of compression!" ”

"Compression?" Zeng Gongliang asked with interest.

Xiao Mo nodded and said: "It's compression, purifying and compressing the black powder, to a certain extent, it is close to the limit of compression, and when the time comes, if it is ignited, the power will be completely different!" ”

Zeng Gongliang asked: "Just like the package used by the adults in the first battle of Cangshan in Shandong?" ”

"Not bad!" Xiao Mo nodded, and then said to Gongsun Bo, who had not spoken: "Mr. Gongsun is the one who studied explosives with Xiao Mo, I don't know what Mr. Gongsun has to say?" ”

Gongsun Bo said: "My lord just commands it." ”

Xiao Mo smiled: "It seems that Mr. Gongsun already knows what Xiao Mo means, my meaning is very simple, that is, in Luzhou, on the outskirts of Shen County, to build a military camp for you, a military camp specializing in explosives!" I'll give you three months, and during these three months, Mr. Gongsun and Brother Zeng will try to exchange their research experience on explosives, and ......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Mo smiled mysteriously: "I have a few things, I want you to find a way to make them, all the funds, the support of the Free Imperial Court, and the sergeants are also sent to you for training." Of course, I will often go to the barracks to study with you, but you should pay attention to one point, that is, the barracks are heavy, no one is allowed to approach, and there are ......"

Xiao Mo's voice suddenly turned cold: "The secrets of the military camp, if there is any leakage, you will be killed!" This must be made clear to the soldiers in the barracks! Do you have any objections? ”

Zeng Gongliang listened to Xiao Mo's words, and was a little excited at first, because he felt that he had found the right one to find Xiao Mo this time, but when he heard it, Zeng Gongliang frowned and asked, "My lord, I'm afraid that this military camp is not something that ordinary sergeants can enter!" ”

"That's a good point!" Xiao Mo nodded to Zeng Gongliang, the military camp is for the study of explosives, and in the future generations, it is an existence similar to an arsenal, if the people who enter the military camp are not very good, then the danger will be great!

So you have to be careful!

Xiao Mo said to Zeng Gongliang and Gongsun Bo: "Regarding the selection of people, I will write a letter to you, and then go to Luzhou to find Lord Zhou to ask for someone!" It is worth noting that in addition to the sergeants involved in the research of explosives, those who are responsible for the secrecy and patrolling of the barracks should also choose people with simple backgrounds and smart minds! ”

Gongsun Bo said: "One more person needs to be in charge of logistics, otherwise the two of us are afraid that we won't have so much free!" ”

According to Xiao Mo's arrangement, that is, Zeng Gongliang and Gongsun Bo worked together to study explosives, build firearms, and train sergeants, which was indeed a bit of a task, so Gongsun Bo was worried about the logistics of the barracks.

The logistics of this barracks are not as simple as ordinary quartermasters, and the sulfur, lime, loess, saltpeter, charcoal, etc., which may be needed to make explosives, need to be purchased by the quartermaster! Among them, like saltpeter and sulfur, there are very few that can be bought on the market, and you still need to look around!

So Gongsun Bo asked Xiao Mo for someone!

Xiao Mo thought for a while, and then said: "I have a group of people under my command, who are trustworthy, and who have been walking the rivers and lakes all year round, so I will send some of them to you!" But they are not directly ordered by you, I will send one more person, that is, Gao Yuanyi Gao, I will let him take charge of logistics, as for the training and selection of sergeants, I will also let Zhao Guanying and Zhao Brother Zhao go with you! ”

Gongsun Bo naturally had no objection to such an arrangement, but Zeng Gongliang couldn't help but be eager to try it for a long time.

After Xiao Mo wrote the letter, he asked Xiao Yi to call Zhao Guanying and Gao Yuanyi, and explained the matter of establishing a military camp to the two of them again, so that Zhao Guanying left the Xiao family with the letter, Gao Yuanyi, Gongsun Bo, and Zeng Gongliang and went to Luzhou!

That night, the county government of Shenxian County, Lin Yiye's residence, was knocked on the door.

"Who?" The person guarding the door was Lin Yiye's old servant brought out from the Lin family in Changle Town, and when he heard the knock on the door, he asked.

Someone outside replied: "Please inform Lord Shaofu, just say that Li Yuan, Qian Yi, Zhao Sihai and others from the Chamber of Commerce want to see!" ”

The old servant answered, and then came to Lin Yiye's room, knocked on the door and told Lin Yiye what Li Yuan and the others asked to see.

"Coming......" Lin Yiye was settling accounts in the study, and when he heard the old servant's words, he smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said to the old servant: "Tell them that the official is resting, and if there is anything to talk about tomorrow at the county office!" ”

The old servant took the order, and after a while, he came to Lin Yiye's study, and the student said: "Young master, those people refused to leave, saying that they must see you, young master, there is a very urgent matter......

"Young Master Ben said, I won't see guests tonight, go tell them, it's a big thing, and Young Master Ben doesn't bother to care about them!"

Lin Yiye's voice was a little angry, and the old servant panicked when he heard it, and came to the gate and said outside: "A few people, please go back!" My young master said that he can't take care of your business......"

"Huh?" Li Yuan and the others complained outside Lin Yiye's door, several people glanced at each other, and finally they all shook their heads and left Lin Yiye's residence with a sigh.

The eight squires came to Li Yuan's house together, and then ordered their subordinates to lock the door, and began to discuss in the study of Li Yuan's house.

"What to do? This time Xiao Mo comes back, he will definitely not let us go......"

Li Yuan's brows were furrowed deeply!

Qian Yi from the three money clerks said: "That night, Lin Shaofu also invited us, obviously Xiao Mo asked him to talk, remember that Xiao Mo told us before that the Chamber of Commerce will never allow outsiders to get involved, but ......"

"What can we do?" Li Yuan complained and said: "Then Zheng Biyuan has the support of the Fujian Chamber of Commerce, and colluded with the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce and Zhejiang businessmen, where are our opponents?" ”
