"Can this hand still be healthy?" Seeing that my husband was holding a book in his other hand and did not answer, he leaned on his strong shoulder and took another look. There was a book about craftsmanship written on it.
"You already have this kind of craftsmanship, do you still need knowledge?" Zhang Yang took his hand out of hers, held her shoulders and whispered: "This book is full of explanations of wood."
"How many times have you read this volume on Qi Min Yao Shu?"
"Learn and live until you are old. You don't have to read a book many times." Li Yue wanted to persuade her again, but didn't want to continue. She looked up at his side face. Her husband was not a person who would take time off.
.
When the flame of the oil lamp gradually weakened, Zhang Yang blew out the oil lamp, and the couple wanted to sleep on it. In the morning, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an City, leaving behind a large group of children. As the leader sister, Li Lizhi was very popular among the younger brothers and sisters.
prestige.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yang had to make toothbrushes for the children. Dongyang and Gao Yang were past the age of teeth replacement, but little girls like Qinghe, Chengyang, and Princess Lanling were still at the age of teeth replacement.
The emperor had many children, including two five-year-olds, Li Fu and Li Ming. Their health had been poor since childhood and they were always prone to illness.
This may be related to the way children are raised in the palace. When it comes to matters related to the harem, it is difficult to ask too many questions. Making a toothbrush is a very patient and delicate matter.
After tying up the mane, I asked Aunt Wang to take over. Aunt Yang built a big bunk at home, and the children will live here in the future. His Majesty and the Queen returned to Chang'an City.
As the children grow older, the brother-in-law will have more things to worry about in the future. Zhang Yang raised his head and looked at the blue sky. Today, the clouds are very loose and it will be a sunny day.
Bringing a bamboo basket of tools with me, I walked up Lishan Mountain. Walking up the stone steps, the air was still a bit cold. Taking a deep breath of the air at the top of the mountain, I felt much more relaxed.
There is also a very special room in the new home. This room has eight locks. This is my own laboratory.
The walls are very thick and the floor is paved with bricks. For safety reasons, wooden structures are used as little as possible. Even the top floor of the room is covered with large stone slabs.
Opening the door, there is a wooden barrel and a wooden box. Inside the barrel is refined petroleum. The ink burned in the barrel is used to refine and remove impurities, and this is what it looks like.
Zhang Yang covered his mouth and nose with a piece of cloth and carefully opened the wooden box, which contained white phosphorus.
This is something that naturally ignites spontaneously when stored in the air, so you need to be very careful when handling it. Zhang Yang took out the bamboo tube. The bamboo tube was layered, with gunpowder in the bottom layer and a little white phosphorus in the middle layer.
, separated by wood chips, put refined petroleum in the top layer.
White phosphorus is poisonous, so you must cover your mouth and nose when using it. You must be careful when carrying this bamboo tube. There is also a hole dug on the floor of the laboratory with some firewood placed in it.
The pit had a stone slab as a cover. Zhang Yang pulled out the tab at the bottom of the bamboo tube, and white smoke suddenly came out from the bottom.
After counting silently in his mind for a moment, he threw it into the pit and quickly covered it with a stone slab. There was only a muffled sound in the pit, and then there were strange blue flames emerging from the gaps in the stone slab like stars.
When the fire became smaller, Zhang Yang took out a water bag from his waist and poured water on the surface of the stone slab. The blue flame burned more vigorously when it encountered water.
Water can defeat fire, but not oil. It will burn even more when it encounters water. Water flowed down from the gaps in the stone slabs, and Zhang Yang quickly let go of his hands and stepped on the stone slabs with his feet.
Feeling the heat coming from the stone slab to his feet, Zhang Yang waited until the flames burned out before walking out of the laboratory, closing the door again and writing down the results of the experiment.
The burning and detonation went smoothly, but the burning time was still short. I will try again next time with more burning materials. The detonation time was ten breaths, three breaths faster than before.
The problem needs to be solved. The detonation time is unstable. Make these records and Zhang Yang keeps this booklet.
Throwing firearms have been used in wars for a long time. Most firearms are filled with kerosene in an earthen pot, the surface of the earthen pot is soaked with kerosene, the surface is burned, and the fire is thrown out with a trebuchet.
It is often used in large-scale siege battles. It can be used as a portable firearm, or there are no firearms suitable for Xiao Gu's combat.
This type of grenade with a wooden handle, which is easy to transport and carry, is suitable for use. Zhang Yang took off his coat and jumped into the Huaqing Pool to wash himself. The bone-breaking cold water made him shake. He gritted his teeth and resisted for a long time before he got used to it.
He went ashore again, changed into clean clothes, and burned his previous clothes before feeling relieved. There was hot spring water nearby, and Zhang Yang didn't like the smell of hot spring water.
Anyway, after washing with hot spring water, you have to wash with clean water again. The new home is located on the top of a mountain, and the sun shines directly in the winter. Zhang Yang sits by the pool and feels the warmth, which makes his whole body comfortable.
He took out a piece of bamboo from the warehouse, opened the bamboo pipe, and climbed onto the roof of his house. Zhang Yang planned to install a drainage outlet from the roof so that in rainy and snowy days, water could flow down the bamboo pipe.
He took out a round stone from his arms, placed it on the roof platform, and watched the stone slowly roll down to one side.
I tried the inclined surface repeatedly and made a drainage outlet according to its rolling trajectory and final landing point.
Zhang Yang took an awl and dug out a hole, just big enough for the bamboo pipe to fit in. Then he used sand and mud to pour the bamboo pipe together with the flat surface of the roof. This way, the drainage outlet of the roof was completed.
Carrying a basin of water, walk to the roof again, pour out a basin of water, watch the water flow down the bamboo pipe, watch the falling point of the water flow, confirm the position, and then dig a ditch out. The water will flow along the ditch in the corner of the wall.
go out.
Cheng Chumo has been very busy recently, and he has been pulling Shangguan Yi to arrange things in Luoyang. The braised pork gang has to do a big thing, and only Shangguan Yi can make suggestions for such a big thing.
In Luoyang, 300 kilometers away to the east of Chang'an City, Luoyang City was in chaos at the moment. Qu Tushou was appointed as the governor of Luoyang. After Ma Zhou captured three or two disobedient guards, the entire Luoyang city was in chaos.
Military power also fell into the hands of the new county governor.
With the troops and horses that could be mobilized in Luoyang, Sun Fujia and Ma Zhou also received a big boost. At this time, in Luoyang City, the excitement of the past was gradually receding, and people were keenly aware that something was going to happen recently.
Because there are suddenly more idle gangsters on the streets. Many children from aristocratic families are like ants on a hot pot at this moment, with hundreds of stones of sugar in their hands and nearly 100,000 guan spent!
According to Li Bin, as long as all the sugar is bought, Luoyang will have the power to set the price, and it can make whatever money it wants in the future.
However, they emptied their own wealth and even used family money, and then they discovered that more and more sugar was flowing into Luoyang.
There is simply no way to buy it all, sugar is getting cheaper and cheaper, and it has dropped to ten guan for a bushel of sugar. Even a relatively wealthy family can afford to buy half a bushel of sugar for a taste.
Why is there still so much sugar flowing in? This gambling game can no longer be played. This game of drumming and passing flowers will eventually end in madness, and many people in Luoyang City will go bankrupt.
Everyone came back to their senses and wanted to find Li Bin, who had disappeared for three days. When someone broke into his home, they found that his original residence was empty.
The angry family member had his house set on fire to vent his anger. It would have been better if he didn't burn it, but the burning would give Ma Zhou and Sun Fujia a reason to arrest him.
With the troops arranged by Qu Tushou, they quickly captured the person who set the fire, and after torture, they followed the clues and found the descendants of the aristocratic family.
Several children of the Lu family were quickly captured by Sun Fujia, the young minister of Dali Temple. In Luoyang City, Roshan overturned the table in front of him.
"They're all idiots!" As he roared, the layers of fat accumulated on his body were shaking.
"Don't they see it? That Sun Fujia is waiting for the opportunity to strike! Idiot, if he gives out the sugar, he will hurt us all!"
"Brother Chen, don't worry, Li Shimin won't dare to touch us."
"Don't you dare?" Roshan looked at this Fan Yang disciple and said angrily: "Li Shimin even dares to kill his own brothers, why doesn't he dare to touch me?" The Fan Yang disciple on the side calmed down and said
"The loss of money is not a problem, but at most we will be punished by the clan. If we stay in Luoyang City, we will definitely be implicated." Everyone's hands and feet were unclean, and some even carried human lives on their backs.
Li Shimin was serious about it, and Sun Fujia was also serious about it.
"Young Master, Young Master!" the servant came in panic,
"It's not good! The new governor ordered the city to be closed." Roshan fainted several times and his face turned pale.
"Quick! Tell grandpa and ask him to mobilize Jiangxi soldiers and horses to rescue me!"
"Brother Chen, you must not do this." Someone advised,
"If you mobilize your troops without permission and then charge them with treason, the whole clan will be ruined."
"It's not you who caused this!" Roshan gritted his teeth.
"As long as we can get out of Luoyang City, there is room for maneuver in everything." At this moment, he was very troubled. After thinking about it several times, he decided
"Qu Tushou has only been in control of Luoyang's troops for less than half a month, and the generals among them are still at odds with him. Someone brought enough money to bribe the general to let me out." The servant said in a panic: "If I can't bribe..."
"If you can't buy him, I'll hold him hostage! There's no civil servant or military general in Luoyang who hasn't taken money from our family! Go quickly!"
"Here!" The gates of Luoyang City have been closed these days, and the people don't know what happened. They only know that the officers and soldiers are constantly arresting people.
That night, a group of disciples from aristocratic families hurried to the South City Gate. Roshan had already used the little money he had to bribe the guard here.
As for the people in the city who were still guarding Baitang and refused to leave, they would be taken down sooner or later. No longer caring about them, Roshan escaped from Luoyang City in embarrassment with the children of the aristocratic family who were friends with him. Grandpa had already sent people to the west to meet him. As long as he
After running out of three miles, Qu Tushou was helpless.
When everyone ran out of the city and ran for a mile, Roshan could no longer run. He couldn't stop and had to be helped by others.
Everyone walked for a while, Roshan sniffed hard,
"Why does it smell like braised pork?" As soon as he finished speaking, a man holding a bowl came out of the woods.
Under the moonlight, I could see clearly that this man was holding a kuaizi and putting braised pork in his mouth.
"There are people over there too!" the servant on the side shouted loudly. A group of people carrying sticks gradually walked out of the forest.
The leader was holding a bowl of braised pork rice and looking at the group of people.
"Who are the eldest brothers? We have money, a lot of money. We just want to let us go and let me leave Luoyang." Immediately, a timid descendant of the aristocratic family handed over a heavy bag of money.
The other party took the money bag and had no intention of giving way. The man in front of him could only hear the man in front of him shout loudly: "Take them all! Send them to the government early tomorrow morning!" More people suddenly appeared in the forest. These children of the aristocratic families wanted to resist, but
Their bodies were exhausted by drinking and sex, so they were no match for these strong men.
In the end, everyone was tied up with hemp ropes. Roshan struggled and lay on the ground. Another person came from a distance and talked to the leader of the robber.
"Tell Chang'an that we will take care of the matter." This was the only sentence vaguely heard in their conversation.
Braised pork came from Chang'an City and appeared in Luoyang later. When Li Bin came, there were more people selling braised pork in Luoyang.
Sugar...Chang'an! He figured it out immediately and smiled bitterly. Only now did he realize that it was too late.
This was a scam, they had planned it for a long time! At dawn, when the gates of Luoyang City opened, a dozen Luoyang children were tied up with hemp ropes and left in front of the city.
They were sent to the official office where the censor of Luoyang was inspecting. One of the children of the aristocratic family loudly said: "It was Li Bin who ordered us to sell sugar." Sun Fujia asked doubtfully: "Who is he?" These children of the aristocratic family have a big tree and attract wind, and this one
Li Xing rarely walks around in front of people.
"He is a descendant of the clan." Sun Fujia took out a file and looked at it carefully.
"There is no such person in the clan at all." Everyone's faces turned pale again. Some people didn't believe it and asked Sun Fujia to check carefully, but the final result was that there was no such person.
Before that, when he sent people to Chang'an Zongzheng Temple to check the roster, it was clear that this person was there. Roshan felt like the world was spinning, and the last trace of his consciousness told him that this was a huge scam.
A group of soldiers and horses outside Luoyang City were heading towards Luoyang quickly. Another group of soldiers and horses came out of the official road to block the official road. The flag of the soldiers and horses rushing to Luoyang to save the young master was Zuo Xiaowei from Guanzhong.
People from the Flying Cavalry Camp.
Isn't this a soldier directly under Tian Khan? It should be in Chang'an, why is it in Luoyang? It's too bizarre to think about carefully and I don't dare to offend. This soldier who came to save the children of the family had no choice but to retreat.
The city of Luoyang is strong and deep. No matter how anxious the family is, if they want to save people, they will attack Luoyang. They have to think carefully.
In the city, Sun Fujia knew that the time was most critical at the moment, so he began to interrogate the children of these aristocratic families. He must wait until the matter alarmed the court, and the charges were confirmed and settled.
In this way, these people can be punished even when they arrive in Chang'an. Once someone in the court changes the direction of the situation, all the efforts made by His Majesty will be wasted if he lets go.
As long as there are charges, everything will be easy to handle and they can be brought to justice. For Sun Fujia at this moment, time is of the essence.
Yang Lian lived in Luoyang, always using the name Li Xing. He drove ten carriages day and night from Luoyang to Tongguan. He had only one idea in his mind, to deliver ten carriages full of money to the King of Wei as soon as possible.
