"Gunpowder cannons, another name is mines." Luo Xiaoqiao explained.

"Landmines? What is it for? Feng Chenhao asked, the little girl is about to start telling stories again, and she has to cooperate well.

"A landmine is an explosive firearm that is buried in the ground."

Luo Xiaoqiao thought for a while, and quoted the article "Fire Dragon Sutra": "My master's book says this: "The bombing is made of pig iron, on an empty stomach, with a pestle for medicine, into a small bamboo tube, through the fire line inside, and a long line through the fire groove outside.

"What you said is true?" Mu Jingyi's eyes widened, and he seemed to have asked Luo Xiaoqiao the same sentence for the second time.

Luo Xiaoqiao nodded: "At first, I thought that the book was exaggerated, but then I did a lot of things according to it, and found that it was all right." So, I think this method can be tried."

Wei Yuanzhi couldn't help but rub his hands: "Lord Wang, if this is the case, we will be much easier this year."

How could Mu Jingyi not understand, as long as this thing is buried in all directions, not to mention any iron cavalry or infantry, even if it is their fire bull formation, they are not afraid.

"Can you make it?" Mu Jingyi asked Luo Xiaoqiao.

To tell the truth, Luo Xiaoqiao is engaged in weapons in modern times, and he is really a well-known figure.

But such an ancient weapon still relies on chemical reactions, she really hasn't studied it, she is not omnipotent.

Luo Xiaoqiao touched his nose: "Eh, Lord Wang, that's the case, I probably know how to have an explosion and lethality, but how to dispense medicine, please forgive the people's female skills."

"Okay, you talk about it first", Mu Jingyi said as he glanced at Lou Yan, "You go and call the second elder and the third elder over immediately."

The location of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion was obviously not far from here, and there was a carriage, so it didn't take them long to wait, and the two elders rushed in panting.

"I've seen the prince", seeing such a room of people, the two were a little surprised.

"No courtesy, Miss Xiao Qiao, please continue", Mu Jingyi nodded and said.

A display board has been erected in front of everyone, on which is fixed white rice paper, and the paper is a round thing, which looks like a thin melon.

"Lord Wang, what is this?" The second elder was a little puzzled.

Luo Xiaoqiao resigned himself to re-explaining: "This is a mine, there is gunpowder in the abdomen, and the ingredients need to be prepared by yourself." ”

Luo Xiaoqiao said as he slid on the paper: "This is called the fire body, and the special gunpowder with high sensitivity is easy to get angry after being hit. Behind the gunpowder is similar to a fuse, through which the gunpowder in the abdomen is ignited, causing an explosion"

"Wonderful, how could we never have thought of it!" The three elders threw themselves in front of the paper excitedly.

"It's just that this gunpowder is not very well matched", the second elder said this as he looked at Xiao Qiao with his eyes, wanting to hear her opinion.

But Luo Xiaoqiao really has nothing to do about the original material.

All she could do was design the mine switch better. The other is to tell them that in addition to stone thunder and wood thunder, they can also make iron thunder.

The rest is on their own. I believe that the wisdom of the ancients will definitely be able to develop it.

"Little Miss Qiao, no matter how sure you are of what you say, you have helped this king today, if you have any requests, you can put it forward", Mu Jingyi's tone was filled with joy.

"Lord Wang, the people only hope that the northern land will no longer be captured by the Tartars, and give our people a stable and living environment", Luo Xiaoqiao said this sentence as he greeted the sun.

Several men were a little shocked, and this hope was really humble and sad.

After Luo Xiaoqiao said goodbye, Mu Jingyi asked left and right: "Did Luo Xiaoqiao encounter anything today?" ”

Lou Yan, who was like a shadow, flashed out: "She went to deliver goods to Wang Jinqiao today, and met many villagers looking for work on the way, and then she got off the ox cart and came to us." ”

"I'm afraid the villagers told her something."

Feng Chenhao touched his chin and said that with his understanding of Luo Xiaoqiao, if it wasn't for her vital interests, she wouldn't want to be too prominent.

Zuo Mulin said: "You can guess that it is another group of farmers who are about to become tenant farmers." Lord Wang, our northern land implements the law of Great Chu, Xiucai does not need to pay taxes, and the family also puts a large amount of land on people with meritorious reputations, resulting in a large amount of taxes that cannot be collected, but it will increase the burden of the people, which is not a long-term solution."

Mu Jingyi didn't speak, he didn't know, but there was really no other way for the time being.

"Cousin, don't worry, this year's glass income is good, and I will fill in the emptiness of the treasury." Feng Chenhao couldn't see Mu Jingyi's troubles, so he took the initiative to speak.

Mu Jingyi smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said goodbye to Old Man Feng.

The trip went unexpectedly well.

Luo Xiaoqiao hired a carriage, and when he got home, the sun had not yet set.

The carriage came to the door of the house and found a few more strangers.

"This is Little Joe?" A woman with a very soft face was about to knock on the door, and when she saw her, she looked at her with gentle eyes.

"Who are you?" Luo Xiaoqiao smiled slightly and asked politely.

"Little Joe, is it really you? I just think it looks like Guixiang, it's either Xiao Qiao or Xiao Ni, depending on the age, I guess it should be Xiao Qiao", the woman chattered a little, and the delicate accessories made a nice impact sound as she spoke.

Luo Xiaoqiao didn't speak, and at this time the door opened from the inside, and it was Grandma Luo who heard the voice and came out to see.

"Auntie, it's me", the woman grabbed Grandma Luo's hand: "We're back"

Grandma Luo raised her head and was stunned for a while: "Are you?" Cuiying? ”

"Auntie, it's me, this is my son Dashun, and your nephew Luo Pu will come back in a few days. Are you good with Arira and Katsunamo? ", the woman said enthusiastically.

Grandma Luo hadn't heard these two names for many years, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

Luo Xiaoqiao couldn't stand this the most, and hurriedly grabbed her: "Grandma, I'm tired, if you have anything to say, let's go into the house and talk."

"Yes, yes, come into the house and say, Cuiying, you come in and sit down for a while", Grandma Luo said, "Little Qiao, let someone go and call your grandfather back"

"Hey"

The woman named Cuiying is obviously living a very good life, but when she stepped into the Luo family's courtyard, she couldn't help but be shocked.

From the outside, this yard really doesn't have much except that it is wide and taller. When I entered the inside, I found that the placement was extremely comfortable.

In order not to disturb the old man Wang's train of thought, they also used rockery to separate a place for them, which not only did not affect the appearance, but also ensured the space. It has won the true legend of Suzhou gardens.

It was still the herbs that came up to pour the tea, and after pouring it, it went out in a very regular manner.

"Cuiying, where have you been after all these years? How's it going? Grandma Luo asked, taking her hand.

"Pusheng was like Youliang at that time, he learned the craft of hand-carving stone, and was favored by a large family, so our family followed him to Zhongzhou. The life is still good, and the main family is also very kind, giving some money and buying some property", the woman said slowly, her eyes empty, as if she was reminiscing.

The child next to her knew the rules very well, did not interject, and stood obediently.

"It's good, it's good to have a good life", in Grandma Luo's memory, she still looks like her son and Ropson helping each other.

"Why did you come back? Is something wrong? Grandma Luo asked.

At this time, Grandpa Luo also came in: "Cuiying is back?" Ah, the children are so old? ”。

"Da Shun, call grandpa", the woman hurriedly beckoned her son to call someone.

"Grandpa", Luo Dashun shouted sweetly with a smile.

"Hey, good boy." Grandpa Luo touched Dashun's head: "Niu Niu hasn't come back yet, and after school in the evening, we can play together." ”
