Chapter 31: Carrying Out the Blasting

Murong Lin got the order, and when he turned around, he was about to take Feng Xiaoyue to pick up gunpowder, but Feng Xiaoyue hurriedly grabbed him.

"What's wrong?" Murong Lin looked over, Feng Xiaoyue smiled lightly and shook her head, "The weather is bad these days, and it is not easy to control the gunpowder lead, you can put it first, and then go when the sky is cool that day." ”

"Okay." Murong Lin paused, nodded in response, Feng Xiaoyue let go of her hand, and said; "Fortunately, it's just a simple shelf, otherwise when the gunpowder comes, the effort of a few days ago will not be in vain."

"Where, I'll have someone move the shelves first." Murong Lin said that he was leaving, and Feng Xiaoyue hurriedly said; "Thank you very much."

Murong Lin looked back and smiled, "It's okay, the family doesn't talk to each other." ”

Feng Xiaoyue listened, but smiled silently. After he left, Feng Xiaoyue returned to the Gentleman's Courtyard to pack up her things.

"Xiaoyun, come with me to the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the city."

"But miss, you haven't eaten yet." Xiaoyun almost went out to ask someone to pass the food.

"No, I don't have an appetite."

Feng Xiaoyue changed into light clothes and was about to go out, Xiaoyun sighed, hid a few silver tickets with a slightly smaller face value in her sleeves, and carried some nuts, and her sleeves suddenly bulged out a big piece.

Bulging out such a big bag, pedestrians on the road couldn't help but look over, Xiaoyun took out the nuts and looked up at Feng Xiaoyue.

"Miss, what are we going to do at the foot of the mountain."

"Now that it's cold, everyone stays at home for fear of the cold, and the grain in their hands is nothing more than normal."

Feng Xiaoyue shook her head and didn't take it. Xiaoyun insisted that she eat some, Feng Xiaoyue had to reluctantly chew two of them, and Xiaoyun happily stuffed a few into her mouth.

"There are many strange seeds in the hands of the forest keeper, and the people down the mountain must have some intersection with him, just like the last time I looked for Uncle Wang. The seasons are different. At this time, it is time for some fresh seeds to emerge. ”

When Feng Xiaoyue went up the mountain and left the city, there was a figure on the top of a tall tree in the distance, and when Feng Xiaoyue's figure disappeared into the woods, the person also disappeared.

In the most lively teahouse in the city, in its third-floor Tianzi room, a man with a jade tree in the wind and fluttering clothes sat by the window.

The room was empty, but a dark shadow appeared out of thin air. The black shadow knelt on the ground and said respectfully; "Your Highness."

The man turned his face, and it turned out to be Murong Xi, the King of Han. The black shadow told Murong Xi what he had seen and heard.

Murong Xi knocked on the window frame, "You mean, Feng Xiaoyue, she is searching for all kinds of novel seeds?"

"Yes."

"Heh," Murong Xi chuckled, "It's weird, just when she is in charge of medicinal herbs and spices, she doesn't think about it, she still has insights into crops and grains." ”

"Food is the foundation of the country, notify others, give me secret surveillance of Feng Xiaoyue, and report to me at any time if there is any trouble."

Murong Xi picked up the small teacup, and after the black shadow fell, it disappeared silently.

The people under the mountain know Feng Xiaoyue a lot. The farmers are simple, they still set up stalls outside on cold days, and the price of seeds is not much different from that of normal days. Feng Xiaoyue walked around for a long time, and only came back after spending almost all the small silver tickets in Xiaoyun's sleeves.

Xiaoyun ate all the nuts and just had his hands free to carry the big bags of seeds. Feng Xiaoyue was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand it, and wanted to get some for her, but Xiaoyun hurriedly said no, and walked in front with a bolted paper bag.

After sorting all the seeds she bought, Feng Xiaoyue waited for two days, and finally encountered a windless and sunny day, and immediately went out again.

Knowing that Feng Xiaoyue was going out, Murong Lin hurriedly came over and got into the carriage with her. Feng Xiaoyue couldn't do anything with him, so she let him go.

The shelves of the greenhouse were only nailed with some ropes and wooden nails, which were originally intended to be easy to disassemble, but now they have become bundles of wooden sticks lying on the side.

"Let's bring some dirt and put a low wall around this piece." Feng Xiaoyue stepped forward and gestured, "It's probably knee-deep." ”

Murong Lin grabbed her puzzled, "Aren't you going to dig up, why are you still building a wall?" ”

Feng Xiaoyue pursed her lips and shook her head, "You don't know, the fuse burns quickly, and there is a low earth wall in front of it, which can also reduce the damage of gunpowder." ”

"Moreover, most of the soil in this field will be blown out and will be found when it is landfilled. There is this earthen wall, one is convenient to re-tie the shelves after paving, and the other is to directly push down and use it for landfill. ”

"The princess is thoughtful, and she can't reach it." Ignoring Murong Lin's ridicule, Feng Xiaoyue turned her face with a faint smile.

When the earthen wall was about to be built, Murong Yu was empty, and when he heard that Feng Xiaoyue was blasting today, he also asked someone to drive over to watch.

"It seems that this king is not too late."

Murong Lin turned his head when he heard the sound and walked in front of him with Feng Xiaoyue. "Why is my father here?"

"Blasting the soil layer to make a greenhouse, such a novelty is unheard of, and my father naturally wants to come and have a look." Murong Yu brushed the dust off his body while walking towards the field with them.

"Xiaoyue, how are you going to blast it?" Murong Yu looked at Feng Xiaoyue.

After Feng Xiaoyue bowed, she raised her head; "When the earthen wall is dry, bury gunpowder saltpeter in the four corners of the field, and hold everyone back, and then you can proceed."

"Okay." Murong Yu nodded.

In the past, it was about a stick of incense, but because the sun was good today and the weather was dry, the earthen walls were quickly dried and whitened.

According to Feng Xiaoyue, after the farmers buried the four corners, they pulled out a long lead, lit it, and ran far enough.

"Father, be careful." Murong Lin escorted Murong Yu to retreat, and Murong Yu pointed at Feng Xiaoyue with his eyes.

Murong Lin understood, walked to Feng Xiaoyue's side, covered her ears with his hands, Feng Xiaoyue reflexively blocked it, and held her hands tightly like this.

The fuse burned very quickly, and soon there was a loud bang, and the field exploded into dust.

"It's okay." Murong Lin hurriedly checked on her, Feng Xiaoyue opened her mouth slightly and shook her head, "It's okay." ”

Everyone gradually gathered, and Feng Xiaoyue went down to stand on the periphery of the earthen wall, holding the drawings he had drawn to command.

"The pipes are laid longitudinally from south to north, slightly lower on the south side, and at every corner, the pipes must not be aligned with this side. Then, leave an opening in the southwest direction for the stove where the water is boiled. ”

The farmers did as she said, laid the pipes, and when they took the shovels, Feng Xiaoyue added, "All the soil is shoveled in from the outside and gently covered with the iron pipe, otherwise it is easy to break the iron pipe." ”

The busy people below were in full swing, Murong Yu nodded with satisfaction, and patted Murong Lin's shoulder: "Lin'er, this is a mistake that made you marry a good wife." If you missed her that day, as you said, you don't know how much you regret it now. ”
