Zhang Tingtai woke up from the bed in a daze.

"Huh? Bed? I'm alive? ”

Lu Jingqian was holding a cup of tea in his hand and drinking it slowly.

"Yes, you're alive. When you wake up, pack up and get ready to work. ”

Zhang Tingtai was confused, when he saw his treasures, gunpowder and fire bombs, being placed on the table in the room.

Zhang Tingtai immediately got up and got out of bed, hugged his baby and ran out.

The guards outside the door blocked the door and stared at him.

Zhang Tingtai smiled: "I'm sorry." ”

He silently put things back on the table.

Lay silently on the bed again.

Lu Jingqian gave him a death smile.

"Very well, you are still knowledgeable. Rest assured, we're not here to snatch your baby. Just have something to ask you for. ”

Zhang Tingtai nodded hurriedly and made a gesture of please.

Lu Jingqian continued to drink tea and asked Zhang Yunyun to come over and talk to him.

"Uncle Zhang, do you still know me? My father is Zhang Qingcheng. ”

"Zhang Yunyun?"

Zhang Tingtai saw that this person was his little nephew, and immediately let down his guard.

"Sorry, you said it earlier. Tell me something! I am duty-bound to do my little nephew! ”

Zhang Yunyun smiled innocently.

"Uncle Zhang, that's right. His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince came to our Nanfeng County for disaster relief, and found that the living conditions of the people here were too poor, and they wanted to help us broaden what this is called? ”

Zhang Yunyun was speechless for a while, turned his head and asked.

Daxi saw his stupid appearance and hurriedly reminded.

"Broaden the channels of survival and improve the quality of life!"

"Yes, yes, that's it. His Royal Highness also said that our fruits, medicinal herbs, and beasts are all money! Although we don't have food, we can have food when we have money. So the question is, where does the money come from? ”

I was happy to sing and harmonize with him.

"Where does the money come from?"

Zhang Tingtai replied tentatively: "From outside? ”

Zhang Yunyun high-fived and glanced at Daxi.

"Eh~yes!"

Lu Jingqian rolled his eyes when he heard this.

He slapped Zhang Yunyun hard.

"Stop talking nonsense, get down to business."

Zhang Yunyun immediately restrained his smile.

"Uncle Zhang, what our Highness means is that I want you to make more gunpowder to use to blow up the mountain."

Zhang Tingtai understood.

"That is, to open a road to the outside world for trade and goods?"

Lu Jingqian nodded.

Zhang Tingtai immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times in a row.

"Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, I'm looking forward to this day! Your great kindness and great virtue are unforgettable. ”

It turned out that Zhang Tingtai began to tinker with these gunpowders and the like when he was a child, just to one day be able to open a way for Nanfeng County.

He had been to Zhang Qingcheng's house, and he also knew how prosperous the bustling streets of Nanyang County were.

He had long thought about why Nanfeng County couldn't be as prosperous as Nanyang County?

So, he began to hate.

He hated every mountain in Nanfeng County as an equal to that that stood in the way of people's travel.

He began tinkering with gunpowder at an early age.

Each time it is more powerful than the last.

But gradually his raw materials were not enough.

No matter how capable he is.

It can only be a good woman, and it is difficult to cook without rice.

He has been careful to keep some of his last treasures.

So, as soon as he woke up today, he paid attention to where his baby was.

Zhang Tingtai knocked his head almost bruised, and he raised his head.

"However, Your Highness the Seventh Prince, I have no raw materials...... Otherwise, I wouldn't faint in the mountains from hunger......"

Lu Jingqian had thought of it a long time ago.

With a wave of his hand, someone from behind him brought in the raw materials for making gunpowder.

There is pyrite in Nanyang County.

"By the way, you can look at the yellow stones first, are you sure they are pyrite that can produce sulfur for making gunpowder?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tingtai stepped forward and looked at it carefully.

"Back to Your Highness, exactly! This can definitely make gunpowder! It's absolutely no problem to build roads. ”

With Zhang Tingtai's positive answer, Lu Jingqian had a bottom in his heart.

He waved his hand, "Alright, now you can get to work, right?" ”

Zhang Tingtai nodded again and again, and took Zhang Yunyun and Daxi to the mountains to tinker with gunpowder.

For the rest, all Lu Jingqian could do was wait.

A week later, when the people of Nanfeng County were almost running out of food, Qiu Lu returned with supplies and food.

Rao is Lu Jingqian is not in good health, and he couldn't eat breakfast today.

"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, my subordinates are fortunate to have come back with supplies."

Lu Jingqian waved his hand, not having the energy to say more to him.

"It's time to send it, send the books and the like to Majiaxi."

At this time, Zhang Tingtai also came back with Zhang Yunyun and them.

Several people were bouncing around and running back very cheerfully.

"Your Highness, we have succeeded! It's time to start blowing up the mountains and building roads! ”

Qiu Lu had not seen Zhang Tingtai when he left, and he did not know about it.

When he suddenly heard about the bombing of the mountain and the construction of the road, he was also pleasantly surprised.

"We went out this time with all the good people who were fast-paced, even if we were in a hurry, it was a week's long walk. Once the road to the outside world is repaired, won't it be very fast? The people don't have to wait so long. ”

Lu Jingqian was helped out by Sydney.

"That's right, and it's good for business, and no one likes to have a lot of money. Let's go, let's go to the mountains and see the power of gunpowder! ”

"Boom, boom, boom--"

This loud noise startled the entire Southwind County.

Uninformed people are looking at the sky.

Isn't it sunny?

Why is it still thundering?

Lu Jingqian and Qiu Lu looked at the bombed mountain, and they had mixed feelings in their hearts.

The power of gunpowder is so powerful, if it is used to blow up mountains and build roads, it is naturally a good thing for the well-being of people's livelihood.

But if it's used to fight?

The two of them didn't dare to think about what a threat this would be!

The people who fight are flesh and blood, they will hurt, bleed and die!

The mountain exploded, but the two were not happy, and the power of the gunpowder cast a shadow on their hearts.

Zhang Yunyun pointed to the road that had been blown out and looked at Lu Jingqian happily.

"Your Highness the Seventh, you see that the road is about to open! Your Highness... Aren't you happy that the road is about to open? ”

Lu Jingqian had no choice but to squeeze out a smile.

"Happy, why aren't you happy. You continue to be here to help get through. Zhang Tingtai, you come with me. ”

Zhang Tingtai was in the midst of the double surprise that the gunpowder he had made was so powerful and that Nanfeng County was about to be opened.

His mouth could barely close.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong with Your Highness."

Qiu Lu also stood beside Lu Jingqian, and both of them looked very serious.

"Zhang Tingtai, let me ask you, do you know how many people in this Shangyuan country can make gunpowder?"

Zhang Tingtai realized the problem.

He thought about it carefully and replied cautiously.

"Your Highness, are you frightened by the power of this gunpowder?

Don't worry, this gunpowder has been improved by me, which is why it is so powerful.

I got the recipe from a book that was actually a book for learning how to make fireworks. ”
