Chapter 147: Pre-War Preparations
In the gunpowder workshop, Qian Yu patrolled back and forth leisurely, and saw that his craftsmen were all saluting.
Since becoming the captain of the thirteenth team of the Shangpin guards with knives, Liu Shijun simply assigned the gunpowder workshop to his jurisdiction, including all the personnel in the workshop, and Qian Yu only needed to hand in the finished products regularly.
The task given by Liu Shijun is very harsh, especially in the past few days. Qian Yu knew the current form and knew that Liu Shijun was not specifically targeting himself, so he devoted most of his time to the production of gunpowder:
"Hey, what are you looking at? It's you, and you're still looking around...... Why don't you bring a mask for dry distilled sulfur? What? Does wearing a mask affect breathing? Believe it or not, I sew your mouth with a needle? ”
"Didn't you say that the toner was almost fine? What are you doing so carefully? How many times have you been told how gunpowder exploded? Within the allowable range, the greater the granularity, the more powerful the gunpowder! No wonder your output has not been able to rise, do you know that the Hu people have arrived at the doorstep, it is likely that because of your friction, everyone will be trampled into meat by those barbarians......"
At this moment, a man pushing a cart of poisoned salt walked past him.
Qian Yu kicked over, and the middle-aged man who pushed the poisonous salt immediately glared at him.
Qian Yu was angry: "What do you see?" Defy? This is the toner processing area, and who told you that potassium nitrate can pass through here? It's a little closer, but what if a fire explodes? You don't want to live, others want to live!
Don't think that being an official member of the guard with a knife is amazing, look at me behind me, your old boss - Jiang Feng, can only be my bodyguard, what are you? ”
The man in the cart left in a gloomy manner under Qian Yu's scolding. Jiang Feng was a little dissatisfied: "Brother Qian, I am just on the orders of Lord Liu to protect your safety, not your bodyguard." ”
It is said that since Jiang Feng was in charge of the preparation of the gunpowder workshop, he no longer personally protected Qian Yu's safety, and as a result, he almost had a big accident in the 'Poetry Workshop', which made Liu Shijun afraid for a while.
The importance of Qian Yu is undoubted for him, if this kid has three longs and two shorts, it is not something he can bear, so after losing the workshop to Qian Yu, Jiang Feng, who has nothing to do, continues to undertake the task of protecting Qian Yu.
Qian Yu was unconvinced: "Why aren't you a bodyguard?" Isn't a temporary bodyguard a bodyguard? I'm not bluffing! ”
Seeing that Qian Yu was about to engage in a debate tournament if he disagreed, Jiang Feng helplessly spread his hands: "I was wrong, you have a reason!" ”
After two more turns, he saw that everything was in order, and said to the rooster, asking him to supervise these people to work hard, and then he walked out with confidence.
Since Qian Yu took over the gunpowder workshop, the rooster immediately promoted himself to the person in charge of the workshop, and he will always be in high spirits every day, especially in the gunpowder experimental field, it seems that this guy has been completely obsessed with gunpowder experiments.
This made Qian Yu laugh and feel relaxed at the same time.
He took advantage of his leisure time to go to Yunxi Technology again, compared with the gunpowder workshop, this is his own industry, so although everything is on the right track in Yunxi Technology, Qian Yu is still very concerned.
Now Yunxi technology, the largest is the Yunxi salt farm. A large amount of potassium nitrate is required to make gunpowder, so potassium nitrate must be produced in sufficient quantities.
In an emergency, the potassium nitrate excavated from the stone was sent to Dongshan as soon as possible, and of course, the price was not a lot.
Liu Shijun couldn't come up with enough money, so Qian Yu could only let him owe it first. In view of the fact that Liu Shijun's character can no longer be trusted by Qian Yu, as long as the poisonous salt is transported, Liu Shijun must sign the IOU and stamp the seal of the head of the guard with a knife.
With this evidence, if this guy dares to pay his debts, he is ready to sue the royal court.
So Liu Shijun was not only busy with his own affairs every day, but also kept writing IOUs, Qian Yu had seen it, and the IOUs received by Shi Shi were already as thick as a book.
The scale of the cement kiln and the red brick kiln is smaller than that of the salt farm, but it is not much smaller, and after the completion of the gunpowder workshop, although these building materials are no longer needed, Qingfeng County is in dire need.
After Bao Xiren learned the news that the Hu soldiers were approaching the city, he immediately gathered a large number of migrant workers to build the city wall. As the saying goes, there is pressure to have motivation, and in just a few days, the city wall of Qingfeng County has doubled again.

Ten miles away, the king tent of the Moon Wolf Clan!
"What, no trace of Asid? Including the members of the wolf group around him? Five days later, the anxious Moon Wolf King first received such news.
Ankesu next to him patted the scout who delivered the letter, and asked suspiciously: "I said brother, should you just find a place to sleep, and you didn't even enter the county seat, so you rushed back to report the news?" ”
After listening to Anxu's words, the two scouts who were half-kneeling on the ground immediately became angry: "Dear Your Excellency the Right King of Anxsu, you can sacrifice Ruth's head to wine, but you can't question Ruth's news, Ruth swears to the god of the steppe that if there is half a lie, Ruth will lose the protection of the god of the steppe forever!" ”
The most trusted thing by the steppe people is the god of the steppe, and if a person is willing to swear by the god of the steppe, then his oath is definitely more credible than the truth.
Anxu realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly apologized: "Ankesu misunderstood Ruth's meaning, please forgive Ankesu for his recklessness, and please also ask the god of the steppe to forgive Ankesu's stupidity." ”
The Moon Wolf King's face suddenly became solemn, he looked at the scouts he sent out, and said word by word: "Ruth was raised by this king, and this king does not doubt Ruth's words. ”
Before Ruth could breathe a sigh of relief, the Moon Wolf King said again: "But Ruth, this king doubts your ability. Except for looking for Ashde, you didn't pay attention to the weirdness of Qingfeng County? Although this king does not believe that Ashid will be arrested by the cowardly Chinese, anything is possible. ”
Before Ruth could speak, another scout beside him immediately said: "The king's words reminded the stupid Hank, just when Hank first arrived in the county seat of Qingfeng, it was rumored that there was a drought and thunder on the first floor of Qingfeng's 'Poetry Book Workshop' at night, and the people of the entire county town heard it at that time. ”
The Moon Wolf King thought for a moment: "My ally in Dahua recently came with a piece of news, he said that Dahua recently made a weapon that can explode, which is the nemesis of cavalry. ”
Anksus asked, "Are you saying that Asid and they are likely to be defeated by this weapon?" ”
Wang Dao: "Apart from this, I really can't understand what could make my most elite subordinates disappear for no reason. ”
Anksu asked Hank, "What day did the explosion you hear?" ”
"I arrived in Qingfeng County four days ago!"
Ankesu's face changed: "According to the time, it was also that time when Ashid lost contact. ”
The Moon Wolf King's ugly face instantly became gloomy and terrifying, he walked along the king's tent twice, and said decisively: "We can't wait any longer, the wrong judgment of the past few days is likely to make us lose the best fighter." Inform all warriors and get ready to charge. ”
Ansuna said, "Don't we really wait? The people you sent out only came back with the two of them, and I believe it won't be long before the others will come back, and maybe something new will happen then! ”
Wang shook his head: "No need, if the speculation is true, wait one more day, if you want to break through Qingfeng County, you will have to sacrifice more warriors, we can't afford it." And it's very simple to know if anything has happened to Asst, just charge and hum ......"
Ankesu said: "Yes, if the news leaks, when attacking, it will definitely be counterattacked by the other party in an orderly manner." Unless Qingfeng County is successfully taken, it means that there is something wrong with our speculation. ”
