Chapter 109: Gunpowder Workshop
Qian Yu looked at Yang Zhen and said, "My lord, the conditions proposed by the grass people are just for a better job. It's not about taking advantage of the opportunity. Adults might as well listen first. ”
Yang Zhen glared at him, but did not speak, obviously acquiescing.
Qian Yu said: "If you want me to participate in supervising the production, first of all, the craftsmen who make gunpowder must obey my command unconditionally. I'm not asking you for rights, gunpowder making is extremely dangerous, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be crushed, and the grass people haven't married a wife yet, and they don't want to die young. ”
Bao Xiren nodded: "It should be so, but gunpowder is the most important weapon of the country, and there is no room for failure, we must send someone to follow you." Rest assured, this person will only be watching from the sidelines, will not interfere with your work, and he will also protect your safety. ”
Qian Yu agreed, this is the proper meaning of the question, otherwise who can rest assured that such an important department will be entrusted to an outsider, even if Bao Xiren is relieved, he will be impeached in the DPRK and China in the future.
Qian Yu continued: "Secondly, because of the terrain in Qingfeng County, it must be the key point for the Hu people to knock on the pass, so I have to take some gunpowder and leave it for myself and the villagers of Yunxi for self-defense." Don't worry, whether it is the quantity or the use of this part, I will record it in detail, and when the Hu people leave, I will return all the rest. ”
Yang Zhen was about to object, but remembered that this thing was originally made by Qian Yu, and it was nothing to give him some, but it would help to resist Hu. However, he still warned: "Yes, but it can only be used on the Hu people, let me know that you will not be spared if you use it to do evil." ”
Isn't this nonsense, don't say it's me, whoever uses it to do bad things can't be forgiven! Qian Yu rolled his eyes angrily, feeling that Yang Zhen was too small to do things.
"Third, I can supervise the production of gunpowder, but just to help, I am still free, that is, on the premise of ensuring that there is no problem with gunpowder, I can still take care of things on the other side of Yunxi."
In Qian Yu's opinion, this should be the most difficult for them to accept, after all, Qingfeng County and Yunxi Village are half a day's journey, and it is easy to delay things back and forth.
Unexpectedly, Bao Xiren was very direct: "No problem, in fact, the gunpowder workshop can also be moved to the vicinity of Yunxi, and Brother Qian can not only take care of both, but also save the pain of going back and forth." ”
Not only Bao Xiren, but even Yang Zhen, who is the hardest to speak, did not object.
Seeing Qian Yu's strange expression, Bao Xiren explained with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Qian, the explosion yesterday was so serious that all the people in Qingfeng County were directly killed, and hundreds of people were injured.
These people are not only seriously injured, but also homeless, if it weren't for the fact that gunpowder is too important, the old man should be busy helping them heal their injuries and settle down now.
I thought about this matter for a long time, and finally decided that the choice of gunpowder must be far away from the town, the terrain near Yunxi Village is empty, and you are in command, which should be the ideal choice. ”
It seems that gunpowder is not only a savior for these people, but also a hot potato, and a little bit of trouble is a lot of trouble.
In fact, if you really want to let Qian Yuxuan, he also wants to stay away from this thing, although gunpowder is powerful, it is more dangerous, especially in the early stage of the experiment, you must know that Nobel is such a bullish person, and his younger brother was also killed.
Qian Yu's career in Yunxi Village has started, and if he wants to make money, whether it is burning bricks or drying salt, it can bring him a lot of income, and it is not worth the risk.
Hey, forget it, take one step at a time, it's a big deal to be careful, if you can't go to dangerous places, you won't go.
After saying that, Bao Xiren took Qian Yu to their temporary gunpowder workshop to check.
In fact, the gunpowder workshop was next door, Bao Xiren opened the door, there were thirty or forty people in it who were constantly busy, the room was a little dim, and when he saw it clearly, he realized that in order to keep it secret, all the windows here were nailed with thick cowhide, and only a huge torch was placed in the center to illuminate it.
Wait, torches?
The cold sweat on Qian Yu's back flowed out, and he used torches to light up in the gunpowder workshop? What's the difference between this and finding a gas leak at home, smoking a cigarette to calm down?
Ahh!!hhhhh That's not how you look for death, right?
Ignoring Bao Xiren's introduction, Qian Yu yelled directly: "Stop, stop for Lao Tzu, don't move, who is in charge here now?" Stand out! ”
These people looked at Qian Yu like fools, they were all supernumerary personnel of the first-class guards with knives, although they were not as powerful as the real first-grade guards with knives, but they were not something that ordinary people could afford to provoke.
This time I was forcibly pulled by Liu Shijun to work, which was already depressing enough, and now I was scolded by a little guy, and I don't know where to put this face.
Everyone looked at a big man in the corner, the big man was crushing saltpeter with a big grinding disc, and as soon as Qian Yu spoke, he stopped what he was doing.
Standing up slowly, the big man's eyes were full of contempt: "I'm Jiang Feng, the steward here, you were yelling just now?" ”
This person is extremely tall, with the measurement method of later generations, it is enough to be 1.9 meters, and the body is extremely majestic, and the tendons and flesh of the body are exposed from the clothes, giving people a domineering taste.
Seeing the boss speak, the rest of the personnel showed gloating looks, as we all know, Boss Jiang's temper is not very good.
If before, Qian Yu might have been frightened by this person's strong physique, but after knowing Da Xiong, it is nothing, compared to Jiang Feng, Da Xiong is more like a Super Saiyan: "Yes, it's me." What, dissatisfied? Tell you, Lao Tzu specializes in all kinds of disobedience! ”
While speaking, he also patted Jiang Feng's thick arm contemptuously: "Don't think that you are five big and three thick, you are great if you have the strength, you don't know how to use your brain, even if you can open a mountain, what's the use?" Haven't you suffered all your life? ”
Jiang Lao has a bad brain? A group of subordinates had extremely strange expressions on their faces. But you can't blame Qian Yu, anyone who sees such a big man will think of well-developed limbs and a simple mind.
But the boss is really not like this, his limbs are developed and his mind is more developed, otherwise Lord Liu would not have handed over the matter of supervising the manufacture of gunpowder to him.
Jiang Feng almost laughed angrily: "Okay, I'm so big, you're the first one to say that I have no brains, if you don't tell Jiang today that I'm ugly, hum ......"
"Yo, still not convinced?" Qian Yu looked at the expression of the second fool, "Okay, I'll let you understand how you died." Let me ask you first, who supervised the construction of this workshop? ”
Jiang Feng didn't speak, just looked at Qian Yu with a sneer, as if talking to him would dirty his mouth.
A young man on the side saw the opportunity and said: "Who else could it be?" Of course, it is our Lord Jiang, since the accident in the workshop in the north, Lord Jiang has not slept endlessly, and it only took forty brothers three days and two nights to build this place. ”
Jiang Feng still didn't speak, but the pride on his face still told everyone about his ability.
Qian Yu looked around casually and said disdainfully: "Such a simple thing has been used for three days, are you doing it for a day and resting for half a day?" ”
"You ......" This time not only Jiang Feng, but everyone stared at Qian Yu angrily, this workshop was completed by their joint efforts, and it has always been their pride, but now it is questioned, and no one can bear it.
