"Lord...... He is the leader of the Bliss Sect......" Cheng Xingyun wanted to speak and stopped.

"What do you want to say?" King Yi laughed.

"Buddhism says that when you practice to a certain extent, you can remember the events of the seven lives, could it be that he really has cultivation in his body?" Cheng Xingyun secretly shuddered.

"What do you think?" The righteous king shook his head.

"The subordinates also think it's absurd, but ...... That seemed to be the only fitting answer to why he knew so many things. Cheng Xingyun said stiffly.

"Forget it, no matter where the freak comes from, this king sent eleven people before and after, and he is not afraid of him stirring up the storm!" King Yi was a little tired, he had too many things to do, and he couldn't be distracted by Qin Baichuan. King Yi insisted that Qin Baichuan was very smart, and as long as he had the upper hand, he was not afraid that he would not be convinced.

"Lord...... The saltpeter and sulfur that Tan Jiaotou needs...... "Cheng Xingyun said tentatively.

"Give, give as much as you want, give as much as you want!" King Yi clenched his fists and said: "Give Tan Jiaotou an order, from the book, Tan Jiaotou's surveillance of him is too tight, what Qin Baichuan wants to do, just a little trick, Tan Jiaotou can't be guarded against!" Instead of being so petty, it's better to be generous and let your guard down! In addition, once again, this king is sincere to Qin Baichuan, and there is no need to tell such trivial matters in the future, just decide directly! Tell them, counting the previous three people, as well as the next eight people, they must treat Qin Baichuan the same as they do to this king, otherwise Qin Baichuan will only applaud their kings if they kill them! ”

"Yes." The Lord became more and more tolerant of Qin Baichuan, and Cheng Xingyun felt that his position seemed to be a little precarious.

After coming out of the main room, Cheng Xingyun came to the study, picked up the pen and wrote down the master's order, and sent someone to use the snow eagle to send it back to Tan Jiaotou, he lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. Cheng Xingyun really couldn't understand it, Qin Baichuan was just able to make money, compared to marching and fighting, what kind of ability did he have?

The lord once told him that Qin Baichuan set fire three times in a row at the Anyang Dabi, burning the other two academies, but Cheng Xingyun thought that this was nothing big at all. Qin Baichuan regards Dabi as a real battle, why is he Cheng Xingyun? In the face of the two sides, he even has nine ways to turn defeat into victory, much stronger than Qin Baichuan!

If the lord only let Qin Baichuan earn money, maybe Cheng Xingyun would not have such a big psychological pressure, but Qin Baichuan has formed an army, and the lord still lets it go! That's a problem! The lord made it clear that Qin Baichuan is the rear cadre, and he Cheng Xingyun is the future commander! But now that the cadres in the rear have troops, he is still the commander of the bare pole, how can he sit still?

"No way!" Cheng Xingyun was worried, and sat up from the bed with his clothes on. There was a faint light in his eyes, and after a long silence, he clenched his fists and secretly lit the oil lamp. The brush was full of thick ink, gritted his teeth fiercely, and he quickly wrote a letter, called his personal scholar, and secretly made instructions. After writing the first letter, Cheng Xingyun splashed ink again, wrote three pieces of paper freely, folded them carefully, and hid them in the dark.

Do all this, Cheng Xingyun went back to bed and lay down, Qin Baichuan, Qin Baichuan, the Lord is protecting you, and he can't move you, so don't blame Cheng for making you a little stumbling; Lord ...... Don't blame Cheng, I have no choice but to do it!

Not to mention that the lord's connivance with Qin Baichuan caused Cheng Xingyun's jealousy, but it was said that Qin Baichuan had been nesting in the Chu family's workshop these days, and after settling down various affairs, he also went to Fu Python Mountain many times to participate in the production of fire guns and the refining of phosphorus.

If it is poor and white, even if Qin Baichuan has a big idea, he has to lay a solid foundation step by step, wasting a lot of time, but the old man Chu and others have been doing research on thermal weapons for so many years, and there is a certain industrial foundation in the Python Mountain, under the supervision of Qin Baichuan, the old man Chu personally went into battle, and took the four people of A, B, C, and D to start measuring the standard and casting the mold of the fire gun.

The whole process of making the fire hammer is actually quite backward, simply put, it is to manually use an axe and chisel to carve out the style of each part on the hard marble, and then the iron solution that has been melted and quenched many times is poured into it, and then quenched with mountain spring water to obtain a rough sample. Subsequently, these samples were manually polished several times, assembled and folded, which was time-consuming and laborious.

The process of making the firearm is indeed a little troublesome, but almost everyone, including Qin Baichuan, does not dare to have any carelessness, after all, this thing belongs to a precision instrument, and even a small mistake in the link will eventually lead to the failure of the entire research and development process.

The old man Chu lacked skills, and Abraham was also very busy, carrying more than a dozen buckets of urine to the paper of Fu Python Mountain, and the entire valley was filled with the stench of rushing to the sky, and the rest of the people were disgusted when they smelled it, but Abraham enjoyed it. After precipitation, a large bucket of syrup was obtained from the urine, and Abraham even dipped a little of that disgusting thing into his mouth to taste the taste, although the action was disgusting, but after Qin Baichuan heard about it, he also had to admire Abraham's dedication to the development of science.

With a strong theoretical basis as the foundation, there is such a group of madmen with the spirit of scientific research, coupled with the fact that King Yi ordered not to restrict the materials purchased by Qin Baichuan, which directly contributed to the advancement of Qin Baichuan's fire gun very fast, after a few days of sleepless sleep, countless improvements, the mold of the fire gun has a prototype, and Abraham also lived up to expectations, extracting dark green phosphorus from the urine, and the rest of the work is to condense again, and wait until there is no difference between the obtained object and the drawing, and then it can be put into production.

On the afternoon of the 24th lunar month, Zhu Ge Guli, who has been studying the improvement and promotion of the telescope at the headquarters of the Chu Family Workshop, also came to Fu Python Mountain, with a large number of stone samples, with the cooperation of Abraham, Zhu Ge Guli refined more pure glass products, and made a concave-convex mirror, resulting in a significant increase in the observation distance of the telescope. Zhu Geguli seemed to be inviting merit, originally Qin Baichuan asked him to cast two, but this time he brought five.

After Qin Baichuan accepted the inspection, he gave encouragement to Zhu Geguli, and ordered him to assist Abraham and Old Man Chu in the next stage of work, if there is still free time, then he must continue to improve the telescope, there is only one principle, no matter what means are used, it must reach or even exceed the telescope they brought, and formulate corresponding incentives for them. For example, once the requirements were met, Qin Baichuan promised to give them as many believers as he could, and help them translate and preach for free, a promise that made the two Westerners overjoyed.

"Mr. Qin, what have you been busy with lately?" At sunset, Qin Baichuan's carriage drove out of the Chu family's workshop, and Tan Jiaotou asked if he had a ride.

"Busy." Qin Baichuan agreed, in the evening, he originally had to discuss with Abraham how to further improve the refined phosphorus, as well as the future carrying problem, but the old man Chu urged him to visit Wu Erya as soon as possible, so he put on the three jars of apricot blossom brew prepared by the old man, and went to Jinyifang to find Wu Erya's brother first, Brother Wu, that is, the shopkeeper of the century-old shoe store.

"Oh." Tan Jiaotou replied and said: "The Lord has sent a letterhead again, and he clearly said in the letter that he will prepare all the things for Mr. as much as he wants, such as sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal." The lord also said that during this time, the surname Tan was a little stingy, and the supervision of the husband was too tight, and he ordered that in the future, the husband should act according to his heart, unless the gentleman wanted to do something disobedient to the lord, otherwise there was no need to report. ”

"Did he say that?" The sulfur and other things prepared by King Yi were delivered very quickly, and there were such words at this time, saying from the bottom of his heart, Qin Baichuan felt that King Yi was actually really good to him, and he was definitely worthy of the four words Corporal Lixian. Qin Baichuan was even thinking that if King Yi became the emperor, he might be able to live a good life in the future?

As soon as this thought emerged, Qin Baichuan's heart was immediately alert, when he left Tan Jiaotou, he said to the monkey and the others that they should be open-minded and accept Tan Jiaotou, so to speak, in daily life, he was inevitably full of hostility and vigilance towards Tan Jiaotou. Now from another perspective, why didn't the righteous king have a mind about himself?

"It's true." Tan Jiaotou took out the letterhead on the flying pigeon biography from his arms, tore off some of the contents that were inconvenient for Qin Baichuan to read, handed the rest to Qin Baichuan, and said, "Sir, you can read it yourself." ”

Qin Baichuan glanced at it, the content on this letterhead was basically the same as what Tan Jiaotou said, with this half of the paper as evidence, it dispelled Qin Baichuan's last bit of doubt, between the lines, the tone of the righteous king was full of scolding Tan Jiaotou and others for making a fuss, and the intention of defending Qin Baichuan jumped on the paper, Qin Baichuan sighed, just from the perspective of mind and bearing, he admitted that he lost to the righteous king at all.

"The Lord is thirsty for talent, and it seems that such letters have come more than three times, and each time the tone is more and more severe." Tan Jiaotou said with some emotion: "I have been following the Lord for many years, and I have never seen him with such an attitude. Mr. Qin, I think...... The Lord knows that you are a tiger, but he also wants to support you, hoping that you can help him and use it for him; If not, it seems that the Lord is more willing to fight with you than to threaten you with some scheming. ”

Tan Jiaotou showed a heartfelt smile: "Look at the last one of the orders, the Lord sent a total of eleven people, and he said that we should treat you like him, otherwise we will kill us, and the Lord will applaud." Therefore, if Mr. Qin is dissatisfied with what the surname Tan has done during this time, he can always find an excuse and ask for my life. ”

Tan Jiaotou can be regarded as a heart-to-heart today, Qin Baichuan tore up the letter paper and sprinkled it in the wind, groaned for a while, and said, "Qin is not an executioner. When Brother Tan first came, Qin felt awkward everywhere, but now ...... Get used to it. You can tell the Lord that Qin admires his mind, but I am a casual person and I am the most reluctant to intrigue with others, but because of him, I am now riding a tiger. Qin can't pass this level in his heart, at least for now, I'm still on guard everywhere. ”

"Sir's mind has slackened." In other words, Qin Baichuan would never say this, Tan Jiaotou reminded with a smile.

"Perhaps." Qin Baichuan also felt that his hostility towards King Yi in his heart had decreased slightly, he didn't know what it was, it might be because King Yi didn't attack Qu Xi and the others, or it could be because he was too lenient with himself. Feeling around in the car, he found the telescope that Juggul had given him.

Zhu Geguli brought a total of five, two of which he sent to Beijun to hand over to Ou Jinhua as agreed, and now there are three left in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, took out two more and handed them to Tan Jiaotou, and said: "Come and don't be rude, you give these two telescopes to the Lord, and say that Qin Mou thanked him for taking care of him." ”

"Sir has a heart!" Tan Jiaotou's face was quite happy, he had personally tested the telescope, for scouts, this thing was simply a treasure that could save his life.

After handing over the telescope to Tan Jiaotou, Qin Baichuan also breathed a sigh of relief, the telescope was in the hands of King Yi, he would inevitably have people imitate it, and his army might also grow clairvoyance at that time, in a sense, it would be very unfavorable to Qin Baichuan. But he felt that he still had to send it, and King Yi gave him enough gunpowder raw materials, so he gave back a battlefield auxiliary weapon, and the two of them were clear back and forth, which was better like a fair deal, rather than that he Qin Baichuan owed favors.
