Chapter 51: Serious Matters

Gongs and drums are noisy, colorful flags are fluttering, and firecrackers are ringing in unison......

No, there were no firecrackers in this period, and this kind of thing is still not easy to make.

It is not easy to make, not because of technical problems, but because of the problems of use.

The main raw material of firecrackers is gunpowder, and once gunpowder is made, then explosives are not far from being made.

The raw materials of gunpowder are nothing more than charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur, as for the classic ratio of the three, Ye Mo believes that he can draw a chart, and then according to the proportion value marked on the chart, he can be drummed out after a few more experiments, the key is explosives.

What does it mean for this thing to appear in this era, Ye Mo is very clear in his heart, that is, Pandora's box has been opened, and the thunder mother has descended into the mortal world, which is the demon that destroys the living beings, once it is used improperly, or it is overflowing, according to the human nature of the current dozen princes and monarchs, human beings are afraid that they will face the catastrophe of dinosaur extinction.

Ye Mo didn't want this kind of disaster to happen for the time being.

But if it is used reasonably, it is not impossible to make it, but he really has no confidence in Gou Jian, and now he seems to be open-minded and recruits talents, but once the Wu State is destroyed, his disdainful matter of killing heroes with small belly and chicken intestines will be revealed.

Ye Mo didn't want to follow in such footsteps.

Therefore, in order to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of yourself and your family, it is not impossible to secretly experiment a few times, or make a little out.

Ye Mo thought so, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing a cold smile.

Seeing Shi He next to him, his heart was cold, his scalp was numb, his feet couldn't help but take a step back, and he whispered to Zheng She: "See?" As long as he has such a smile, he is not sure what the hell he thinks, but he has to be careful, otherwise he will suffer in vain. ”

Zheng Shi glared at him fiercely, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't slander Shangguan." ”

Shi Yi was stunned and asked puzzledly, "Shangguan?" When did Ye Shaolang become Shangguan? How could I not know? ”

Zheng She's face showed a look of disdain, and he kept saying, "With your mind, how can a woman from the Liang family look down on you?" Could it be that it hurts the eye disease? After that, he ignored him, he was very worried that his stupidity would infect him, and he went straight to catch up with Ye Mo.

Shi He couldn't help but be annoyed, and was about to catch up and ask what was wrong with his mind? What does it have to do with whether the women of the Liang family look down on themselves? Where is my own sentence wrong?

Shi Mian rushed over from the crowd behind, and said with a smile: "With your mind, it's not as good as me, people with a discerning eye know that the day of the master's promotion is not far away, and you are still as stupid as a donkey, if I am the sister of the Liang family, even if I marry a donkey, I will not marry you." ”

Shi He was furious, raised his foot and kicked at Shi Mian, but the children led by Shi Mian had already been reborn under the careful hard training of the Fei brothers.

Shi Mian just turned around very lightly, dodged Shi He's kick, and then made a grimace at him, shouted, and ran away with a group of little brothers and sisters.

Today is the first stone bridge in history to be completed, and the first day of the three-day celebration of the second season of rice production in a year, Ye Mo said a few words of thanks, and squeezed out of the crowd, giving Shi Lizheng the opportunity to show his face in front of almost the entire Zhuji County.

I have more important things to do, and I don't have time to waste time here.

I led a horse, looked at it a few times, and didn't know how to go up, gritted my teeth and jumped up and wanted to straddle it directly, but I tried several times, but it ended in failure, and I couldn't see the incomprehensible next to me and shook my head.

Zheng Shi stretched out his hand to support him several times, wanting to tell him the skills of getting on the horse, but as soon as he saw Ye Mo's face, which was darker than the bottom of the pot, he gave up this idea, and he really took a few steps backwards without showing a trace.

Fei Zhi really couldn't see it, couldn't help it, grabbed the reins of the horse, quieted the horse, and explained to Ye Mo how to get on the horse and how to control it, and finally Fei Ji grabbed Ye Mo's left calf and lifted it hard, Ye Mo got on the horse with all his strength.

But swaying from side to side on the horse, pulling the reins back and forth will not let the horse move forward.

Ma bald grinned, blocked his eyes with his hands, couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and left.

It's still Fei Ge's benevolence, and he is very patient to teach Ye Mo how to control horses.

Finally, he looked a little bit like this, and couldn't help asking, "Is this how all horses are driven?" The same is true of other countries? Nothing else to back it up? ”

Fei Guan was puzzled and asked, "Yes, is there any other way to control the horses?" ”

Ye Mo's heart was open again, cavalry and horse warfare, only a simple saddle, no stirrups, you can't control the movement of the war horse with your feet, you can't free your hands, you can only control the horse with one hand, and use the other hand to fight with weapons, how good can this kind of combat power be?

It was necessary to quickly make pedals, so that knights could be trained to use their feet to control their horses and use their weapons with both hands, while the archers could shoot arrows while riding their horses, without having to stop their horses while shooting.

This is combat power, a proper divine soldier descending from heaven.

When I think of the bow and crossbow, I think of the crossbow, this crossbow was made by the Qin State during the Warring States Period, and there are still more than 200 years from now.

Thinking of the proudness, I couldn't help laughing loudly, shouting, entering the county seat, and then beating the horse forward.

The Fei brothers glanced at each other with a wry smile, and also roared, followed closely behind, and went straight to the county seat.

The county government is in the south of the city, and the county seat is not big, so it will soon arrive at the gate of the county office.

got off the horse, handed over the reins to Fei Guan, told him to wait here, and walked towards the main gate of the county office.

There are stone lions placed on the left and right of the door, black and swarthy, not very exquisitely carved, there is no stone ball in the mouth, and half of the teeth of the stone lion on the right are missing, and the overall look is not funny.

That's right, according to the current technology, it would be good to be able to carve such a stone lion, after all, the stone is not wood, and no matter how durable the bronze tool is, it is impossible to carve a beautiful stone statue.

By building a stone bridge, it can be seen that it works to smash and smash a stone, but it also makes Shi Li scold his mother and scold the loser, if it is really a beautiful stone object, then it is really a ghost.

Looking at the two big characters of the county yamen carved out of wood on the lintel, Ye Mo couldn't stop slandering, the most important yamen at the grassroots level of the country, there is not even a decent plaque, it seems that the exquisite and beautiful scenes in the TV series are all deceitful.

Bluestone slab steps, a total of seven layers, such a number is not a coincidence, Ye Mo does not know, but he knows that the official rank of this period has not yet been formed, according to records, the earliest official grade was compiled by Chen Gong in the Three Kingdoms period, and it will be hundreds of years away from the end of the Spring and Autumn Period.

A young man in Tsing Yi, who did not look very old, no more than eighteen years old, crossed his hands in his fat cuffs, stood at the top of the steps, and looked curiously at the young man who was not in a hurry to hand over the prayer post, but carefully observed the door.

Looking at it, I remembered that the old man had ordered early this morning, saying that a young boy might come to visit, let him wait at the door, and guess if it would be the one in front of him.

This young man is dressed plainly, the pale cyan linen robe is half-new, but the pulp is clean, even if there is a little dust at the hem, it must have fallen when riding a horse, but it has no effect on his whole person looks very neat, giving you a very refreshing, very elegant feeling, a young man of this age, is the first he has ever seen, whether he will see it in the future, I don't know.

Seeing that the young man turned his eyes to himself, he quickly smiled and asked, "What is the matter with the little brother coming to the county government?" ”

Such a young man is definitely not a person like himself, who can be provoked, and the person who can make the county lord let him wait outside the door is by no means idle, so although this young man is younger than himself, it is not a loss to himself to call him a little brother, it is better to leave a good impression first, maybe he can help himself in the future.

Without such vision, how can you trust the county lord?

Ye Mo settled down, took out a greeting note from his sleeve, smiled and gave it to the little servant and said, "Please return to the county lord, Ye Mo will ask to see you later." ”

The little guy took the post, felt a sinking in his hand, and when he turned to look, he secretly glanced at it, only to find that he had ten more knife coins in his hand, and quickly thanked Ye Mo, and hurriedly entered the door.

A sturdy young man in a light blue brocade robe walked out, bowed slightly to Ye Mo, and said, "Ye Xiaolang, please come in, my father has been waiting many times." ”

Ye Mo didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly hugged his fists in return: "I'm annoying the son, let the county lord wait for a long time, it is Ye Mo's rudeness, so I will go to the county to ask for guilt." ”

The young man just smiled and didn't answer, and stretched out his hand to invite Ye Mo to enter the door.

Ye Mo entered the county government, and he didn't dare to look around at will, lest he think that he had lost his manners, but it was harmless to peek at it.

The mansion is very large, the ground is paved with blue square bricks, and the garden on the left has unnamed potted plants, the leaves are beginning to turn yellow, but the dome branches are vigorous and powerful, and it can be seen that the owner has carefully cultivated him.

But this season, what does it mean to be restless indoors and outside?

The ground on the right was bare, and there was a weapon rack inserted under the eaves, all of which were stupid long guys, and it could be seen that these must have been prepared by this yaman.

Following this Yanei, I entered the room and saw the bookshelves on the entire wall of the backrest, which should be the study, and the furniture, tables and chairs looked like the new furniture designed and made by Ye Mo.

An elder with bright eyes and strong spirits, sitting on a chair behind the desk, was looking at him with a smile, with a chess piece between his fingers, and the other hand was slowly rolling up the unfolded bamboo slips, presumably this elder was reading a chess game.
