On the afternoon of the third day, Liu Cong was tired of playing with Pang Zihui and Lu Rong at home, so he took Liang Zhu'er to the gunpowder making site and came to inspect it.

I saw that a large number of raw materials had been crushed and fried, and they were all placed at the mouth of the cave to dry in the shade, and Wei Yan was arranging for the soldiers to make bamboo tubes.

Seeing Liu Cong coming, Wei Yan hurriedly greeted the report: "Lord, according to your instructions, the gunpowder has been fried." The last general calculated it, and it was 10,000. ”

Liu Cong agreed, and casually complimented: "Well, it's very good." Then he paced towards the gunpowder, and when he came to look at it, he saw that the raw material of the gunpowder was black and white, as if it was a confluence of flour mixed together with cornmeal and sorghum flour.

To be honest, Liu Cong only set off fireworks and firecrackers in later generations, and he also heard about gunpowder, knew the formula of gunpowder, and also knew the concept of TNT. However, he had never seen gunpowder with his own eyes.

At this time, when he saw that the gunpowder was like this, he became suspicious: "Can these things explode?" Able to open mountains and split rocks? How can't you believe it? ”

Liu Cong didn't feel confident when he thought of this, and muttered: "This is not a simple thing like setting off a firecracker, you have to be cautious." If we take all these things to attack Fancheng, if we can't blow up Fancheng all at once, things will be in trouble, and the morale of our army will inevitably be frustrated. No, you have to verify it carefully. ”

Thinking of this, he called Liang Ergou, who was supervising the construction, over and asked, "Ergou, this is the raw material for you to make fried seeds?" ”

Liang Ergou looked at Liu Cong in surprise, thinking that he had done something wrong, and when he saw it, he hurriedly replied: "Tell the old man in the governance, that is, this is." It's made according to the original recipe. Although the number is too large, however, the two dogs are synthesized in strict accordance with the proportions. ”

"How is this color? Neither black nor white. ”

"That's the color, Lord Zhizhong."

Liu Cong asked this, and suddenly felt that he was a layman, and he shouldn't ask like this, so he changed his words and asked: "Does Ergou guarantee that the explosion will succeed?" ”

"Well, there is usually no problem. However, there are no guarantees. Because of such a large number of fried seeds, Ergou has never done it. ”

Liu Cong thought to himself after hearing this: "No need to ask. Let them hurry up and make it. Well, I'm going to have to check it out as soon as possible. Thinking of this, he commanded, "All right." Then hurry up and make it. How many days will it be completed as originally planned? ”

Wei Yan replied beside him, "Five days." This is the time set for us by the Lord. There are still two days to go, and we work the night shift to ensure that the task is completed. ”

Liu Cong smiled, and then ordered: "Five days later, I will personally come over to verify the effectiveness." After speaking, he gave a few instructions, and seeing that everyone was going to do something, he asked Liang Ergou in a low voice: "Ergou, as far as you know, where is the most suitable place to experiment with gunpowder around here." ”

Liang Ergou thought for a while and said, "Master Zhizhong." There is a good place for experimenting with gunpowder. You see. As he spoke, he pointed to the back mountain, "Turn around a mountain mouth, and walk more than ten miles ahead, there is an open ravine, and the ravine is called Taohuagou." Whether there is human population or not, let it go, no matter how much gunpowder you put it, there will be no problem. ”

Liu Cong looked at it and said, "That's it." Tomorrow, you can spare some effort, be a guide, and take me over to have a look. This experimental site has to be well chosen. ”

When Liang Ergou heard this, he immediately agreed: "Oh! ”

Liu Cong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and ordered: "You can get busy." Hurry up and make arrangements and strive to get things done within three days. ”

Liang Ergou made another long promise, and then left Liu Cong and went to the side to do things.

Liu Cong looked up and saw that Liang Junshan, the owner of the village, was also here with a group of villagers to help build a house, and the soldiers on the other side of the cave were busy cleaning up the site, probably preparing to put gunpowder into barrels.

In the distance, a few groups of children were watching in the cold wind.

It may be that Wei Yan had arranged it a long time ago, and he saw Jingzhou soldiers with loaded guns and swords standing five steps and one post around this place and cave, and ten steps and one sentry, so these children who love to watch the excitement in the Hukou Pass have to poke their heads out from afar.

Liu Cong saw this busy scene, his heart was happy, and he said to himself: "It's good to be an official and have power, arrange something for them to do, and do whatever they like." Hehehe. ”

When Liu Cong thought of this, he consciously felt that the wind was quite sharp, and it was cool and swishing on his face. Liu Cong shrunk his neck, looked back at Liang Zhu'er, and ordered: "Go back!" ”

So, Liu Cong was in front, Liang Zhu'er followed closely, and walked to the residence one after the other.

Liu Cong was in a hurry to go back to the fire to keep warm, and hung up the two stunners in the house, "Hey, it's been three or four days, and it's still not rare." These two little prodigal hooves, I can't bear to go out. Those two pairs of eyes, well, straight hooked. Damn, second master, I have business to do, how can I coax you to play in the house at a sky-high price. Like you guys, tease you, huh? It's all things that the second master likes. However, it is a big thing that cannot delay the second master. ”

Liu Cong thought about walking like this, and came to the door of the owner Liang Junshan.

When Liu Cong walked back and forth from his residence to the gunpowder making site, he had to pass by the door of the owner of Liang Junshan.

As mentioned earlier, Liu Cong lived in Liang Junshan's manor at this time, Liang Junshan's family lived in the west courtyard, the middle courtyard was a warehouse, and the easternmost courtyard was Liang Junshan ordered his family to clean up the ropes, which was specially used for Liu Cong and his own soldiers.

At this time, Liu Cong happened to walk to the door of Liang Junshan, only to hear the door "squeak" open, Liang Junshan's baby girl Liang Yu came out, and when she came out, she looked at Liu Cong, standing, but she didn't say anything.

When she saw Liu Cong standing and looking at herself, this Liang Yuer spoke: "Master Zhizhong went out?" ”

Liu Cong was suspicious at this time, thinking that it was too coincidental, and when he passed by this door, he thought in his heart: "Can't Liang Yu just come out?" It turned out that his wish had come true, and this thought appeared.

Liu Cong knew that from the eyes of the first meeting that day, Liu Cong could see that this Liang Yuer was interesting. Today, Liang Yu'er suddenly appeared, and Liu Cong knew that when she walked to the venue, she was seen by Liang Yu'er, so she waited at home, waiting for Liu Cong to come back.

No, at this time, Liu Cong came back, this Liang Yu saw it through the crack in the door, so he opened the door, came out and stood to say hello to Liu Cong, in order to comfort his longing.

This woman is also strange, she likes the man and likes him, so she thinks about him all the time, not necessarily thinking about doing that fornicating thing.

Thinking about meeting and talking about love, it is almost almost, it is the prayer of the man and woman who are not married but miss the man and woman they like.

At this time, this Liang Yu'er was thinking like this, so only from Liu Cong took Liang Zhu'er past the door, and after she found out, she knew that Liu Cong would definitely come back, so she hid behind the door with the cold wind on her back and looked through the crack in the door.

After looking at it for an hour, he finally took a look at Liu Cong back.

At this time, the desperate heart of the turbulent virgin beat violently, and she stood on the door platform and greeted Liu Cong. (Please bookmark it and keep it on the shelf.) Thanks. ）120
