The news of the bounty spread like the wind to every corner of Chang'an City, and good deeds went out of the city to wait and see and inquire about the news.

In this era of struggling on the food and clothing line, someone dares to kill someone for ten taels of silver, a hundred taels of silver can make many people crazy, and a thousand taels of silver is enough for people to have no scruples and give up everything.

The street splashes and scoundrels who like to make trouble were stimulated, and even the people who did their duty moved their minds and inquired about the news, and all kinds of gangs couldn't hold back, and ordered the people below to take action.

A thousand taels is enough to change a life, not to mention that the days are tight, there is no last meal, it is better to fight.

All of a sudden, the streets and alleys of Chang'an City were full of people inquiring about the news.

Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and each has its own ability.

……

Li Jing smiled when he heard the report of the people below, and hurriedly entered the palace to tell Li Er, it would definitely not work if he didn't report such a big event as transporting the body out of the city, but with a reward, he could suppress the impact, Li Er was also in a good mood after listening to the report, and said with satisfaction: "Pharmacist, I didn't expect this kid to have such a way, so someone can't sit still." ”

"Holy Lord, do you want to add more fire?" Li Jing reminded with a smile that since Qin Huaidao made a move, as an elder, there was no reason not to help one or two.

Li Er also wanted to know who would be the first to sit still after this move, and asked with a smile, "What is the pharmacist's good strategy?" ”

"The saint is in his chest, so why let Weichen be ugly."

"Hahaha!" Li Er was very satisfied with Li Jing's clumsiness, and raised his voice and shouted, "Someone-"

Wang De hurriedly came in from outside, lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, but pricked up his ears.

"The bounty of Dali Temple will be posted on the Anhua Gate and printed."

"Yes!" Wang De hurried to do it.

Li Jing said with a smile: "Saint, in this way, the convincing power will be greatly increased, and it will inevitably make all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods jump out, in order to ensure the safety of Chang'an City, the minister suggested increasing the intensity of patrolling the city." ”

"Accurate!"

"In addition, the minister wants to transfer manpower from the Criminal Department to keep an eye on the twenty-two counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, especially Wannian, Chang'an, Xinfeng, Weinan and other counties, in case someone jumps over the wall and destroys the report and archive." Li Jing reminded.

Li Er nodded knowingly: "This matter is important, go and do it quickly!" ”

Li Jing retired and hurriedly went.

……

Qin Huaidao didn't know that Li Er and Li Jing were helping to check and fill in the gaps, and knew that they would definitely oppose it, and what they wanted was to destroy it, and only by destroying it could they pull out a large list.

Luo Zhang proposed to go back to the mansion to have a look, Qin Huaidao did not object, he returned to the Yiguo Mansion alone, and after careful calculation, he had not been back for more than three months.

"Young master?"

When the personal maid He'er saw Qin Huaidao coming back, her excited eyes were full of tears, and she said repeatedly: "The young master is back, and I thought that the young master didn't want a slave." ”

"It's not good to cry, go, your young man will take a bath." Qin Huaidao said with a smile, feeling a little emotional, the little girl is only sixteen, and it is indeed not easy to guard the backyard alone.

Walking to the backyard, the wing room was burned by a fire last time, has been repaired, go in to see, the items are new, neatly placed, the back door out is a small courtyard, usually practice the place, all kinds of equipment is also placed very well, the ground is very clean, obviously the little girl is not less clean.

Not long after, He'er came over and shouted, "Young master, the hot water is ready." ”

Qin Huaidao walked out of the room, followed He'er to the front of a side room, specially used for bathing, there was a big wooden barrel in the middle of the house, which was full of steam, and there were clean clothes on the shelves next to it, He'er stepped forward to test the temperature of the water and said, "It's just right, the slave maid will help you undress." ”

"I'll do it myself." Qin Huaidao said casually.

"Young master—" He'er suddenly burst into tears, with a look of loss.

Qin Huaidao was stunned, and suddenly reacted that this girl was afraid in her heart, worried about being abandoned, her mind was sensitive, and she couldn't bear to hurt it, so she opened her mouth and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" ”

"Oh, here we go." He'er burst into tears and laughed, and hurriedly came up to skillfully undress.

Qin Huaidao's face was a little embarrassed, and he secretly reminded himself that he had been like this before, his body had already been seen, it didn't matter, when he walked into the big wooden barrel after taking it all off, he soaked in hot water, and the whole person relaxed, closed his eyes and recuperated, and let He'er help wipe his body, his heart was full of emotion, this ancient world of all evils - it's so good!

Not long after, a careful voice sounded: "Young master, aren't you leaving?" ”

"I'm afraid not, there's a lot of things going on in Qinjiazhuang."

"Is it okay to take the slaves with you?"

"There's nowhere to live." Qin Huaidao smiled bitterly.

"The slave is not afraid, if you don't sleep, the slave is alone in the backyard, afraid!"

"You can go live with others for a while, and then pick you up when the house is built, it's a mess over there, and it's always inconvenient for you to be a girl." Qin Huaidao comforted.

When He'er heard that he didn't want himself, but for his own sake, his heart suddenly became much more steady, hesitated, didn't dare to insist, and said softly: "Okay, slaves and maids listen to the young master, the young master is so powerful, the official uniform looks very majestic, is it promoted again?" ”

Qin Huaidao said teasingly: "He'er, you use the word 'again' well, it's not that you've been promoted again, and the young master of your family doesn't want to, there's no way, your strength doesn't allow it." ”

"That's the young master, and those sons and sons in other mansions are not as powerful as the young master." The little girl said happily, her eyes were full of light, and she was honored.

"What's wrong with your young master?"

"The young master is powerful everywhere!"

Qin Huaidao suddenly thought of something, his old face turned red, and he didn't dare to joke anymore, although his body was only fifteen, his mental age was adulthood, and it was a bit strange to flirt with a minor girl.

Scrubbed clean and put on new clothes, Qin Huaidao walked outside, and advised: "I'll go to the west courtyard to have a look at the iron shop, and start dinner early in the evening." ”

"Remember, the slave maid let the kitchen cook the young master's favorite food." Ha'er happily agreed.

Qin Huaidao hurriedly came to the West Courtyard, and happened to be there Uncle Ma, who was good at striking iron, so he shouted: "Uncle Ma, make something with me, you start, learn it, and I'll be in charge of you back." ”

When Uncle Ma heard that this was to teach skills, he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, Young Master Xie for your guidance." ”

Qin Huaidao originally wanted to make a handmade briquette machine, the bottom is a small cylinder, when pressed on the coal pile, the coal is squeezed into the cylinder to form a round honeycomb coal, and the honeycomb coal can come out by pressing down on the top, which is the same principle as the children's water gun toy pushes the water out through the piston.

But without the machine, the cylinder below will not be able to do well.

Qin Huaidao decided to change a mold, first asked Uncle Ma to find a thick wooden board, it is best to use an iron plate, but the demand in the later stage is large, the iron is too expensive, and the iron plate is not easy to make, the wooden board is much simpler, and it is easy to repair if it is broken.

After that, each one is made with a red-hot iron drill, and then an iron bar as thick as a little thumb is found, which can be cut off when it becomes soft after being burned red, and one by one it is driven into a hardwood board and erected, and each one will be a honeycomb coal hole.

After it was done, Qin Huaidao found a wooden board to close and reinforce it to form a rectangular box, in which there were regular iron rods, and then found a log about the same size as honeycomb coal, cut the iron sheet into the width of honeycomb coal, wrapped the log and beat it slowly, it became a cylinder, burned red in two sections, and beat it into a whole.

Ten cylinders were made in one breath, placed in the box, one by one, just filled the entire wooden box, each cylinder has iron bars inside, as long as the prepared coal is put into the cylinder, extruded and formed, and then paved with a long wooden board, the whole is turned over, the box is opened, and then the cylinder is taken out, it is honeycomb coal.

This method is similar to hand-beating bricks, direct molding, although it is more complicated, but it can be achieved.

There is no machine, you can't make a manual briquette machine, you can only make a living, fortunately, there is no shortage of wooden boards, the iron bar is also simple, and it is easy to repair it if it is broken, Qin Huaidao looked at the simple mold and felt that it could be used if it was alive, so he asked: "Uncle Ma, have you learned it?" ”

"It's not difficult, but I don't understand the distance of each hole."

"It doesn't matter, use this as a template, directly set it is, and also ensure that the spacing of all holes is consistent, the biggest problem is that the combination of iron bars and wooden boards should be stable, burn red and hit in, the end is flattened, and it is not easy to loosen, let the people in the house help make a hundred sets first, complete it as soon as possible, remember, keep it confidential."

"Whoa!" Uncle Ma solemnly agreed.

At this time, He'er came to call for dinner, and Qin Huaidao washed his hands and went over.

While eating, a small official of the Criminal Department hurriedly visited, saying that Li Jing was in a hurry to find something, let him go over immediately, and asked but didn't know the specific thing, Qin Huaidao realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked He'er to get the official uniform, and he finished eating in three or two bites, and when He'er returned with the official uniform, he quickly changed it and hurriedly left the house.

Walking to the gate, just as Luo Zhang came to meet, he originally made an appointment to go back to Qinjiazhuang together, Qin Huaidao said: "Something happened, come with me!" ”
