Take the mall to Datang

"General Du Fuwei, can you tell me what's going on?" Yuan Shan said.

He didn't know Du Fuwei very well, but he had heard the name of this person to some extent, and he was also a powerful person. He thought that this Li Yuan was really disturbing, and he unexpectedly became the enemy of his father-in-law.

"In the fifth year of Wude, when my father entered the court to report on his duties, General Zuo's assistant, Gong Er, fought for the military power in Dongnan Road and rebelled, and lied that he was under his father's will. His father was falsely framed, and finally died a violent death." Qian Yu said. He even shed tears.

Yuan Shan let her cry on his shoulders, and comforted her softly: "Don't think about these unhappy things, but I really want to thank Her Royal Highness, otherwise I wouldn't be able to meet you now."

"As the daughter of a guilty minister, it might not be appropriate for Lord Hou to marry Qian Yu." Qian Yu said softly.

"There's something wrong. Didn't Li Xiuning say it? Don't worry, she is Princess Datang. Who would dare to find fault with her words? Besides, even if there is no her, if Master Ben likes you, then I will marry you. If you are a man of temperament, then don't." Concerned about so many miscellaneous matters, about your father, I will ask someone to investigate this, and then I will definitely be able to clear up the grievances for your father and you." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay, don't talk about this, go back to the house, there are a lot of mosquitoes here, it's time to get some mosquito coils out." Yuan Shan walked back with Qian Yu, talking while walking.

"What is a mosquito coil?" Qian Yu asked.

"Mosquito coils are a kind of incense for mosquitoes. You go into the house first, and I'll go to the study to get mosquito coils." Yuan Shan said and quickly left the inner courtyard.

I bought some mosquito coils in the mall, unpacked them and then recycled them to the mall. It costs two cents a box, and the money recovered is almost negligible without calculation.

Mosquito-repellent incense Yuanshan has seen it on Du Niang. It is said that the earliest mosquito-repellent incense is from the Song Dynasty, made of realgar and mugwort leaves, while modern mosquito-repellent incense is all pyrethrum insecticide, even if it is slightly poisonous It is also poisonous.

When I thought of the Dragon Boat Festival in Datang, I didn’t pay much attention to it. Mosquitoes began to increase. Fortunately, mugwort is really a peak growing season. Not to mention the mountains and plains, it can be picked casually. Wash your face with mugwort soaked in water, and tie your hands with red string and colored thread. Thinking about it, I miss it very much.

Mugwort can repel mosquitoes, which is a good thing, and after being dried for more than a year, it can be made into aged mugwort. After further processing to obtain moxa, various medicinal materials can be added to make moxibustion sticks. Suspended on the skin and baked, in ancient times this moxibustion method was called Taiyi Shenzhen, also known as Leihuo Shenzhen, which is simply suspended moxibustion.

And moxibustion also has several different acupuncture methods, such as direct moxibustion, warm moxibustion, interval moxibustion, etc. Different methods are suitable for different symptoms. This kind of thing feels very mysterious. In fact, it is nothing more than the principle of heating. There is no harm in using it, but it cannot be used all the time, and the danger and harm are not small.

Yuan Shan took the mosquito coils he bought from the mall and went back to his room. He said that he had the raw materials of realgar and mugwort. He would ask someone to prepare some to make mosquito coils tomorrow. The effect is not known. If it is really successful, then this is also a new product. no.

Chapter 97

Yuan Shan returned to the room with the mosquito coils and matches, lit the mosquito coils with the matches, and placed a plate of mosquito coils in the two bedrooms and the lotus leaf partition.

"Husband just now Qianyu said you go get mosquito coils, this is it, it smells good." Dugu Ruolan came over curiously.

"Don't get too close, this is used to smoke mosquitoes, if people smell it too much, they will get dizzy." Yuan Shan said immediately.

Yuan Shan said a few more simple words to make Dugu Ruolan lose her curiosity. She rested very comfortably this night with mosquito coils.

When he got up early in the morning, he started to ask people to pick mugwort, leaving this matter to Dugu Ruolan, and he didn't care about it, anyway, the method was left to them.

This is just a trivial matter, and he didn't care about it after talking about it. It's very good to wash his face and feet with mugwort this season.

In the morning, I don't have the motivation to exercise anymore, the female workers are busy, the people in the inner courtyard have just been summoned by Dugu Ruolan and Qianyu, and Heye is busy making wheat starch and supervising the garment making work in the west courtyard.

The only ones who can accompany her now are Caiyi in the living room, Jiang E, and Zhirou, who are still at leisure.

Now Caiyi is almost becoming the manager of the outer court, and now she is doing all the things that should be the housekeeper Zhou, and the housekeeper Zhou is even busier.

Qin Si and the others are all at the chess hall. They have received a wave of customers in the past few days and sold a lot of cotton candy.

The chess hall is a bit like a private hall, and the craftsmen are busy everywhere in Yuanjia Manor.

The chess hall will be under construction when there are no guests, and the progress of the courtyard on the left is not too fast.

The smoothest thing is the production of cement, because there are too many gravels blasted by explosives, which saves a lot of effort.

Hundreds of people are now working in a row, and a large amount of coal is also a big help.

There were fifty candles processed in one day yesterday. This is still limited to a single mold, and the production of molds has become an urgent matter now.

In the end, Yuan Shan was so cruel that he actually exchanged a metal candle machine in the mall. There were a total of forty candle molds on it, and he could casually make hundreds of candles with this daily output.

The paraffin wax has been successfully extracted from petroleum, and the candles have also been successful. Now he doesn't care about that much, he directly exchanges the paraffin wax raw materials from the mall, as well as ready-made cotton wicks. Anyway, Datang cotton is also available...

Mass production of candles, he wants to make the nights of Tang Dynasty without darkness, Yuanjia Manor has entered a crazy production mode from this moment, and the cement will be delivered in more than 20 days, and the new cement kiln will be half a month later built and put into production.

The output of the new cement kiln is higher, but it is much larger than the original cement kiln, and the temperature control of the fire path in the chimney and coal feeding room is better.

In order to get the other 95 taels of gold final payment, he also worked hard. He used all means such as doubling the mobilization bonus. Three shifts kept the cement kiln from stopping production, and finally produced a total of 250 tons of cement before June. .

This month is really strange, that boy Li Chengqian didn't come to disturb him. This is a good thing. After a lot of trouble, this May has been quite fulfilling.

Qin Qiong's condition is also approaching Yuanshan. After the last administration, the effect is faster than that of Wuji Wan. It is said that Qin Qiong has improved and his health has improved a lot recently.

After the cement was delivered, a new plaque was added in front of the Hepingfang Building Materials Store, which read "Pingfang Candle Store".

And the opening ceremony was held again, but this time Qin Qiong was invited to participate. This time, with experience, someone has already asked someone to report to the patrol in Hepingfang Street. This time, Qin Qiong came forward, and no one would disagree. give face.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The black gunpowder explosion rod brought Beng Tietong's voice again, and the sound was so loud that it attracted the attention of the surrounding people angrily.

It was also the first time for Qin Qiong to hear such a loud explosion rod, and this time the fire bowl of the explosion rod was covered with an iron sheet, making the sound even louder, and after the explosion rod exploded, the bamboo strands collapsed onto the iron sheet The sound of the iron sheet mixed together is a new movement.

He was taken aback by the first hit, but what kind of character Qin Qiong was, he quickly adapted to it, but he became interested in this explosive stick.

"Shanzhi, where did you buy the explosive rod, the sound is so loud." Qin Qiong asked curiously.

"Haha, Uncle Qin, do you also want to buy some to burn some noises? This is a kind of explosive rod newly developed by my nephew, but because the explosive rod is very powerful, and it is easy to make the bamboo inside explode. It came out to hurt people, so I put a layer of iron on the outside as a protection, and animal skins can also be used, but there will be less movement." Yuan Shan said.

"Why do you guys always get used to doing these weird things, but this explosive rod is pretty good, and it can make some noise during the Chinese New Year this year." Qin Qiong was talking, and he didn't know what happened to the servant, and he lost several at a time. The blast rod went in, and the bang bang turned into a bang bang.

This is what Yuan Shan explained. Anyway, with the protection of the iron sheet, it will not blow up too far. After blocking the road to prevent passers-by from approaching a safe distance, you can release more. However, those careless servants did follow suit. , and it also exceeded the planned explosive rod delivery.

The guards are all young and strong boys, and the explosive rods are like setting off firecrackers, they are very magical. As a result, the patrol officers in Pingfang can't calm down.

The sound was so loud that it spread throughout the city, so Peng Dehai, who had seen it once before, brought someone over to check it out again.

It was only a matter of giving them a line of "protect General Qin", and then these guards replaced the servants to handle the streets, and more and more people gathered in the Hepingfang building materials store, and they were addicted to listening to it.

"My man, what happened to Hepingfang, how did it make such a big commotion." A passer-by who didn't know what happened asked.

"It's nothing, the building material store has opened again. Alas, you don't know Chang'an people at first glance, and you don't understand if I tell you. Why don't you go and see the excitement yourself." A clerk at the tea stall in Hepingfang said.

As soon as the several explosive rods were thrown into the pallet, the surrounding iron sheets were suddenly shaken. The people around didn't know if it was a good deal, but they all cheered in an instant, applauding one after another.

Yuan Shan looked helplessly at this group of annoying guys, and expressed his understanding. After all, there were not many entertainment programs in the Tang Dynasty, and this kind of lively scene can only be encountered during the New Year and holidays. How could it not make people curious.

But what Yuanshan wants is not this, what he wants is customers, and it has been a whole morning that there is no one who even asks about candles, which makes him very speechless, but many people are more interested in popping sticks, Some people even asked where the explosive stick was obtained.

This hit Yuan Shan hard. He thought that it would be better to sell explosives if this continues, but black powder is dangerous. Black powder explosive rods will be sold.

Chapter 98 Zheng Qi

"I heard that the main house opened, and Zheng Qi is bothering you." When Yuan Shan was chatting with Qin Qiong, he was suddenly interrupted by a young man's voice.

Yuan Shan looked up and saw a man in a blue gown. This man looked to be in his thirties, but he was in good condition. Except for his body, which was a little fat, there was nothing to talk about.

"Are you here to buy something?" Yuan Shan asked directly.
