The mourning hall of the eldest prince of Lou lasted for another five or six days, and finally he couldn't hold on anymore.

Because the smell is so big, it has spread far beyond the scope of the house, to the surrounding residential areas and streets, according to Tietou's words, the smell has gone beyond the scope of disturbing the people, and if no action is taken, it will cause civil unrest.

Infamous, truly infamous! Maybe after a few years, the people of Pingliang will not remember who lived in that house, but they will definitely remember that the owner of the house will stink ten streets after his death!

Before Lou Xian'er's reply came, Lou Dagongzi was hurriedly buried on a mountain on the outskirts of Pingliang.

During the days of waiting for Lou Xian'er's return, the good news finally came back from the camp of Jitou Mountain, and the two cannons had been dismantled. The dismantled samples have been depicted in an atlas and sent to Xu Liang. Along with the atlas sent to Xu's house, there were also two small bags of nitrate and sulfur.

Xu Liang looked at the two thick atlases for a long time, but still didn't understand, so he personally rushed to the cave of the Jitou Mountain camp that had been under martial law by the artillery battalion.

Chen Yu and Wang Dazhuang, the two principals, saw Xu Liang and greeted him excitedly.

The generous remuneration has been obtained, and the two directors cannot help but be excited. Thanking Xu Liang helplessly, the two led Xu Liang to a small earthen house next to the cave, and said to the two rows of artillery parts that were neatly stacked: "My lord, please see, these are the two disassembled cannon body parts, the row on the left is the mother cannon of the Franc machine, and the row on the right is the general's cannon." ”

Xu Liang nodded, took out one of the albums, and said to Chen Yu: "There is Lao Chen to point it out for the official." The real thing and the picture correspond one-to-one. ”

"Yes, sir, please." Director Chen said respectfully.

At present, Chen Yu is speaking. Wang Dazhuang assisted, and the two accompanied Xu Liang around the two rows of artillery parts. To the great surprise of the two. The Pingliang in front of him, although he didn't know much about artillery construction at the beginning, but as the two of them explained deeply, the questions raised by Xu Liang became more and more acute. The nouns that came out of Xu Liang's mouth couldn't even be understood by the two experienced masters. Like thickness, length, height, width is easy to understand, that radian. Radius, inner diameter, outer diameter, front sight, illumination, three points and one line and other nouns need to be explained again and again by Xu Liang, and the two of them can probably understand.

Xu Liang asked, marking the atlas, which looked crooked. The strange symbols made the two masters unconscious, awe-inspiring, and put away their contempt. Cheer up the spirit and deal with it carefully.

After Xu Liang said goodbye satisfied, Chen Yu and Wang Dazhuang both had a large piece of sweat on their backs. Chen Yu said with emotion: "Our Lord Xu. It's not easy! ”

Wang Dazhuang nodded approvingly.

When Xu Liang was directing several experts from the Tsing Yi Guard Arms Department to concentrate on the development of gunpowder, the disciples of the Xu Mansion came to report. The military department staff Shi Lang Zhongsun Yuanhua asked to see.

A new batch of gunpowder has arrived! Xu Liang said secretly and hurriedly washed his hands. changed into clean clothes and went to the living room to meet Sun Langzhong who came from afar.

Sun Yuanhua looked dusty, but he was in good spirits, seeing Xu Liang coming in slowly, he got up from the seat on the ground, and stepped forward to bow his hand to Xu Liang, "Xia Guan has seen Lord Xu." ”

"Lord Sun doesn't have to be polite, please sit back quickly." Xu Liangle smiled, sat on the main seat, motioned for Sun Yuanhua to use tea, and chuckled: "For the safety of the people of Pingliang Mansion, Lord Sun has transported gunpowder thousands of miles away. ”

Sun Yuanhua was stunned when he heard this, and said embarrassedly: "Lord Xu misunderstood, Xiaguan, Xiaguan came to Pingliang this time, not for official business. That one...... The gunpowder bureau of the War Division has not yet allocated the gunpowder, and I ask you to be patient. ”

The smile on Xu Liang's face froze, and he couldn't help but change to a more comfortable sitting position, leaned all the weight of his body on the back chair, raised his eyelids, and said, "Lord Sun said he was laughing." It's not for official business, so what private matters do the officials and Lord Sun have to talk about? Uh, when did we get to this kind of dù? ”

Sun Yuanhua's face turned red and was very embarrassed, he took out a letter and a booklet from his arms, stepped forward and gently put them on the coffee table in front of Xu Liang, and said with a wry smile: "Shanghui Xiaguan listened to Lord Xu's lecture on gravity, and was deeply inspired, and after returning to Beijing, he relayed Lord Xu's idea to Lord Xu's teacher, Master Xu Guangqi, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy. I didn't think that the teacher was also very interested in Lord Xu's idea, this is a handwritten letter written by the teacher to Lord Xu, and I also asked Lord Xu to look at it. ”

Xu Liang picked up the letter in surprise, unfolded it, and saw a strong small block letter. After a cursory look, I couldn't help but be taken aback again, in the letter, Xu Guangqi, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, greatly appreciated Xu Liang's statement on gravitational acceleration, and revealed between the lines that he wanted to learn from Xu Liang.

The scholars of the Hanlin Academy, roughly equivalent to the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the previous life, were considered to be extremely literate intellectuals even in the Ming Dynasty, and in most cases, the scholars were also responsible for lecturing to the emperor and the crown prince, and the potential for officialdom in the future was huge.

Xu Liang received a silent praise from Xu Guangqi in the letter, and he was proud for a long time, and his face when he raised his eyes to look at Sun Yuanhua was also much warmer.

"Lord Sun is too polite, the little thing of sending a letter, why bother Lord Sun to run it personally." Xu Liang said with a smile, "This official has also admired Lord Xu Guangqi for a long time, and it is also a deep honor for me to have the opportunity to read Lord Xu's masterpiece." ”

"The lower officials took the liberty to come, as long as Lord Xu didn't blame him." Sun Yuanhua hadn't yet adapted to Xu Liang's changing face, and said with a smile: "After the teacher heard about Lord Xu's idea, he was also surprised. Xia Guan came this time, one is to hand over the letter to the teacher, and the other is to ask Lord Xu for advice in person. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Xu Liang waved his hand humbly, "It's too much to ask for advice." This official and Master Sun hit it off at first sight, and they have also admired Master Xu Guangqi for a long time. If Lord Sun doesn't dislike his humble background, how about we call each other brothers? ”

Sun Yuanhua was suddenly flattered. He stood up and waved his hand in fright, "My lord, how can this be done?" ”

"Huh." Xu Liang had a strange expression on his face, waved his hand and said categorically: "This official has just turned twenty this year, and he asks himself how many years younger than Lord Sun, so how about the official call Lord Sun Brother Sun?" ”

"Lord Xu...... This, this is unacceptable. Sun Yuanhua waved his hand hurriedly.

"Eh, Brother Sun, why do you still call me Master Xu?" Xu Liang shouted: "You can just call me Xu Liang." ”

"This, this ......" Sun Yuanhua didn't know what to say.

Xu Liang got up solemnly and stood in front of Sun Yuanhua. solemnly saluted: "Little brother Xu Liang, meet Brother Sun." ”

"Hey," Sun Yuanhua saw this, struggled for a while, and hurriedly helped Xu Liang up, "Xu Liang, hey, Brother Xu Xian, please get up quickly." ”

Xu Liang saw this. The eyes are happy to be a slit. took advantage of the trend and beckoned Sun Yuanhua to take a seat again.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Sun Yuanhua arched his hand and said, "Brother Xian, since you are brothers today." The situation of the brother should also be told to you, for the brother and grandson Yuanhua, the word Chuyang. Jiangdong people, the three years of the Apocalypse. Ancestor ......" Sun Yuanhua babbled about his situation for a while, and saw Xu Liang blinking his eyes. Listening carefully, he asked: "Brother Wei only knows that the virtuous brother is also a person in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, but I don't know the name of the virtuous brother and the situation of the ancestors." ”

Xu Liang coughed lightly in embarrassment, waved his hand and said, "Ahem, since my brother asked, then I will say it." My hometown is in Ji'an Mansion, Jiangxi, and my ancestors have a few acres of thin fields, which is considered a well-off family. ”

"But I don't know what kind of font the virtuous brother has taken?" Sun Yuanhua asked.

Xu Liangjun's face was slightly red, he was silent for a long time, and spit out two words: "Guozhong." ”

"Guozhong?" Sun Yuanhua exclaimed, and then stroked his palm and exclaimed: "This word is good!" Loyal to the country, loyal to the country! Good! Good! ”

Sun Yuanhua said two good words in a row, and Xu Liang's face turned even redder.

"That, Brother Guozhong," Sun Yuanhua shouted.

Xu Liang was thrilled when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Sun, you should call me Xu Liang directly." ”

"Huh? Why is that? ”

Xu Liang was silent for a long time, and said with embarrassment: "The word Guozhong was taken for me by Lord Hong Chengchou, who participated in politics in Shaanxi. That one...... Lord Hong specially explained that the name he took from the old man should not be taken lightly......"

"Oh, it turned out to be the handiwork of Lord Hong." When Sun Yuanhua heard this, he didn't doubt him, so he changed his tone and shouted: "Brother Xu Xian, if you have something to say, just say it directly, what kind of gravitational acceleration should you mention...... Velocity? ”

Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, cheered up, and began to recall the knowledge he had learned in his previous life, and explained the gravitational acceleration in the hall.

The two talked and exchanged for a long time, and when Sun Yuanhua left satisfied, someone came into the hall and said, "Master, the third lady, they have returned home." ”

Xu Liang exclaimed in surprise: "Xian'er came back so soon? Where is she now? ”

The servant replied: "When the third lady returned to the house, she saw that the master was talking to Lord Sun, so she went back to the inner courtyard first, and is now in the tent room with the eldest lady and the second lady. ”

Xu Liang waved off his subordinates and rushed to the inner courtyard tent in a hurry.

A gust of wind entered the tent room, ignoring the ancestors at the door and several tents in the room, and shouted happily to the three Xufu ladies who were sitting together: "The family property has been sorted out?" Hurry up and show it to the prime minister. ”

Feng Suqin glanced at Xu Liang angrily, and handed a new account book that he was looking at in his hand to Xu Liang. Lou Xian'er and Dai Yingying Xu Liang snatched it away, and couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

Xu Liang looked down at this account book, the more he looked at it, the more happy he became, and the huge surprise almost made his heart jump out.

It's sent! It's sent! This is the rhythm of getting rich overnight!

Xu Liang read silently while watching: Hanzhong Mansion, 12 cloth villages, 7 grain stores, 2 tea houses, 6 wine shops, 2 gambling houses, and 16 granges...... Xi'an Mansion, three pawnshops, 20 long cloth villages, seven restaurants, one carriage and horse shop, six warehouses, three pharmacies...... Qingyang Mansion ......, Gongchang Mansion......

After reading it, Xu Liang closed the account book, looked up at the three girls, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. (To be continued......)
