Chapter 129: New Gunpowder Workshop

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, Liu Shijun hurriedly touched the surrounding walls, and sure enough, as Jiang Feng said, this place is unusually strong, and more importantly, there is no dampness in the cave at all, if it is not for the light to be slightly dim, it is almost no different from the outside world.

As if knowing what Liu Shijun was thinking, Jiang Feng said: "My lord, the cement made by Qian Yu is not only sturdy and durable, but also very waterproof. The subordinates have tried, as long as the thickness of the cement reaches a certain level, there is no problem at all to isolate water vapor. We also built a large number of light openings, all reinforced with cement, so that the sight would not be affected by the use of torches during the day. ”

Liu Shijun nodded and stepped forward, almost unable to believe his eyes when he walked out of the cave and saw the huge cave below the cave mountain.

Zuo Qin of the White-clothed Sect here was specially vacated to let Zuo Si and Qian Yu guide the craftsmen to make steel, and it was also the main cave under the cave mountain. But now it can't see the appearance of the cave at all, the original folds around it have been dug square and neat, after brushing three layers with cement, three layers of lime have been added, it looks white as snow, and the mood is comfortable.

If it weren't for the small caves that had been modified everywhere in the walls, there would have been no trace of the original.

Jiang Feng pointed to the two one-zhang square cement pillars in the middle of the cave: "My lord, Qian Yu said that there is a mountain above here, and if you rashly expand the space, it is likely to cause the mountain to sink, so he specially built these two cement pillars at the stress point."

The subordinates asked the craftsmen to calculate that with these two big pillars, even if the whole mountain really collapsed, it could hold out until all the people inside were evacuated.

Time is a bit tight now, and in a few days, this place will be separated by a wall, which can not only be used to make gunpowder, but also have no problem stationing thousands of soldiers and horses. ”

"This is what Qian Yu told you?" Liu Shijun asked, seeing Jiang Feng nodding, he shook his head and smiled: "What is stationed with thousands of soldiers and horses, I think he is worried that if Qingfeng County can't hold it, the villagers of Yunxi can also come here to hide!" ”

Jiang Feng also smiled: "Although he didn't say that, his subordinates think that he must think so." ”

Liu Shijun clapped his palms: "It's not impossible to take refuge if you want to, but the gunpowder workshop was built by us at our expense, and it can't be used in vain, so one person will receive ten taels of silver." ”

Jiang Feng couldn't help but mourn for Qian Yu, there were nearly 1,000 people of all ages and children in Yunxi Village, ten taels per person, which was tens of thousands of taels.

Qian Yu helped build a gunpowder workshop, and the cement sold to him was sky-high, causing his family to pay nearly 10,000 taels of silver. Now it's okay, the other party is destined to be empty.

Hmph, you are the people, we are the officials, the people do not fight with the officials, this is an iron law since ancient times!

Next, under the leadership of Jiang Feng, Liu Shijun looked at all the places, and to his disbelief, Qian Yu's arrangement of the gunpowder workshop was outrageously detailed.

For example, for the storage of raw materials, 13 warehouses have been built separately, and the locations are scattered, and the flammable warehouses have been designed in detail.

Liu Shijun found that if you store it according to Qian Yu's ideas, let alone an accidental explosion, even if you take a torch to light it, I'm afraid you won't be able to light it.

In addition to the raw material warehouse, there are purification rooms, proportioning rooms, finished product rooms, test explosion rooms, workers' accommodation areas, etc., which are complex to the extreme, but also exquisite to the extreme. If it weren't for the fact that the cave was full of caves, it would take at least ten times as much manpower and material resources to build so many things.

The more he looked at Liu Shijun, the more satisfied he was, he didn't expect that he just asked Qian Yu to give him advice on the gunpowder making method with a trying attitude, and he gave himself such a big surprise. This guy not only knows how to prepare gunpowder, but he is also an all-rounder!

"By the way, what about Qian Yu, why can't you see his figure?" Liu Shijun was puzzled, he always felt that something was missing this time, it turned out that Qian Yu had not appeared until now.

Jiang Feng looked strange: "He...... He seems to have fallen out of love and has been borrowing wine to kill his sorrows! ”

"Broken love?" Liu Shijun was stunned, "Didn't he marry Miss Hesui?" What's the deal with falling out of love? ”

Jiang Feng: "It's this Hesui girl, I don't know what will happen, I have to break the marriage contract with Qian Yu, and it's useless to even make peace with their old village chief himself." Therefore, Qian Yu spent the rest of his time hiding in the cave and drinking, except for the construction of the gunpowder workshop at the beginning. ”

Liu Shijun was stunned: "Is it the cave where he and Miss Shishi hid from the soldiers of the Terracotta Division?" ”

Jiang Feng nodded.

Liu Shijun didn't say a word, discerned the direction and left, although the place has changed a lot, but Liu Shijun can still remember the overall outline, he is very curious, Qian Yu, who is always in Zhizhu's hand, borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, what is it like.

When Liu Shijun stood at the foot of the vertical staircase, he couldn't help but frown when he smelled the rich aroma of wine.

Liu Shijun was born in a family, and he is extremely self-disciplined, for things like wine, in addition to the necessary entertainment, he has always been grateful and insensitive, what kind of sadness does a person have to be in order to make such a strong wine smell?

Wait, Liu Shijun was stunned, as if she had figured out something. That's right, it's the smell of wine, he doesn't like wine, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know about wine, the richness of the aroma of wine is related to the brewing time. The stronger the wine, the purer the aroma, and it has little to do with the amount of wine.

Could it be that Qian Yu drank the finest liquor? No, when it comes to the degree of wine, the highest he has ever seen is the cellar that the emperor specially took out when he celebrated Princess Yun's eighteenth birthday. It is said that this wine was buried in the ground when Taizu founded the country, and the time was more than 100 years.

But even if the wine is aged for a hundred years, it can't be stronger than what he smells now! Liu Shijun didn't believe that in this poor and remote place, Qian Yu could find a higher vintage than the Royal Reserve?

Thinking of this, he asked Jiang Feng: "Where did Mr. Qian's wine come from?" ”

Jiang Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My subordinates don't know, Brother Qian is not allowed to enter here, including me." The subordinates were afraid of delaying the preparation of the gunpowder workshop, and they did not go up, so they did not know what was going on above.

But the fermented wine he asked for was indeed provided by me, but these wines were ordinary wines, and they didn't have much alcohol, as for why they are so rich now, I'm afraid they are the same as gunpowder preparations, they are all new things made up by Qian Yu! ”

Walking up the stairs, Liu Shijun heard a burst of laughter. The rooster, in particular, crowed the loudest: "Come, come, wait until I have a full drink, to celebrate the successful completion of the gunpowder workshop!" ”

Then came the voice of the big bear urn: "Didn't you celebrate just now?" Why celebrate again? ”

The rooster said: "Then celebrate that the members of our Flying Dragon Gang have become supernumerary trainees with swords, and the future will be just around the corner!" ”

Han Niu answered: "You also celebrated this yesterday, can you change some new words?" ”

The rooster's voice suddenly became sharp: "What to change, Lao Tzu can celebrate as much as he likes, you drink your own liquor, where do you come from so much nonsense, don't you take me, the second master, in your eyes?" ”

The ram said unhappily: "Rooster, can you be quiet, we are here today to comfort Ke You, the Hesui girl is going to withdraw from the marriage, and he is the most unhappy, so don't sprinkle salt on the wound!" ”

The rooster disdainful: "If you get married, you will get out of the marriage, it's a big deal to find another one, with our brother's current status, will you be afraid of not having a daughter-in-law?" You don't know, my good friend is about to divorce his husband and live with me! Although Keyou Keyou is not as good as me, it should be no problem to find a daughter-in-law! ”

This time it was Yue Fei who spoke: "Rooster, what are you talking nonsense, Miss Hesui just has the intention of withdrawing from the marriage, but hasn't the marriage been withdrawn yet?" Maybe Miss Hesui has a last resort!

And you, don't want any messy women, Lao Su's daughter-in-law was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and she doesn't know how many are good. You can play, but you must not bring it home, when the atmosphere in the gang is broken, Lao Tzu will not spare you. ”
