Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Fortunately, Huo Yunchao was not a mind reader and did not hear the complaints from Secret Guard B, otherwise he would have sang: I am playing in the mud in the Northeast. Although the Northeast is not big, I have no home in Dalian~~~

Huo Yunchao pointed to the bamboo forest not far away and told Zhou Changxing: "Changxing, pick down the two strongest bamboos and chop them into bamboo tubes. I will use them later."

Zhou Changxing was ordered to chop bamboo.

Secret Guard B didn't understand and asked: "Master Marquis, do you want the black mud in a bamboo tube?"

Huo Yunchao was startled, pointed at the things he carefully prepared and asked, "You call these black mud?"

Secret Guard B nodded: "Master Hou, you keep talking about ingredients, I thought you were going to make some delicious dishes."

Huo Yunchao laughed loudly: "Pfft, haha, I understand. You mistakenly thought that I wanted to make delicious food, but I brought you here to play in the mud. Are you very disappointed?"

Secret Guard B was not afraid of Huo Yunchao, and nodded and said: "Yes! Lord Marquis, what can this black mud be used for? You said to solve the stone problem, how can you use this black mud to solve it?"

Huo Yunchao pointed to the blue sky and asked secret guard B: "Do you believe there are gods and Buddhas in this world?"

Secret Guard B thought for a while and asked: "Master Marquis, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Huo Yunchao: "The truth."

Secret Guard B: "Master Hou, I don't believe in gods and Buddhas."

He was an orphan. If he hadn't had the talent to practice martial arts, he would have died in the early stages of secret guard training. How could he be alive today?

"great!"

Huo Yunchao pointed to the pile of black mud and said, "I will let you see human wisdom that is comparable to divine power later."

Secret Guard B waited with suspicion for Huo Yunchao's prediction to come true.

When others say such things, Secret Guard B doesn't take it seriously at all, and goes in one ear and out the other, but Huo Yunchao is different. Pinglehou will never say something he can't do with such a firm look.

Zhou Changxing dragged a long bamboo back, and together with the secret guard Yi, cut off ten bamboo tubes, then stuffed the three bamboo tubes with black mud mixed with different formulas, and finally inserted the lead for the oil lamp into the middle. , placed facing the sky.

Huo Yunchao repeatedly said: "Come on, come on, I'll count to one, two, three, let's light the fuse together! Run after lighting it!"

Secret Guard B and Zhou Changxing nodded obediently.

"One, two, three, click and run!"

Huo Yunchao shouted loudly, lit the fuse and ran back, running very fast.

Secret Guard B didn't know what would happen, but his main responsibility was to protect Huo Yunchao's personal safety, so he picked up Huo Yunchao and ran away without thinking!

Zhou Changxing tried his best to catch up with the secret guard B who was racing like crazy. He obviously started at the same time, but he was two miles behind him.

"stop!"

Huo Yunchao was carried for several miles by Secret Guard B as a human-shaped sack. He was jolted so hard that he almost vomited out. After confirming that he had reached a safe distance, he immediately shouted to stop.

When Huo Yunchao's feet stood on solid ground again, the first thing he did was shout: "Zhou Changxing, run over here!"

Secret Guard B looked confused. Just when he was about to ask, he was surprised to find that the bamboo tubes lined up in a row and the fuse buried in the black mud in the middle were burning violently. He didn't understand and asked: "Master Hou, black mud It's so wet, why can the lead burn?"

Zhou Changxing ran to the safe area designated by Huo Yunchao a little late. Panting, he looked in the direction pointed by secret guard B, his mouth wide open: "Master Hou, then, what is that?!"

"Bam—"

Before Huo Yunchao could answer, the bamboo tube that was burning the most violently exploded with a bang, sparks flying everywhere!

Secret Guard B thought of the stones Huo Yunchao mentioned, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and shock: "Master Marquis, are you planning to use those black mud to blow up the mountain?"

Huo Yunchao was very excited: "Yes! That's what I planned! Let's go, let's continue mixing the black mud!"

He probably knew the formula of black gunpowder, but he was not sure whether the materials at hand could be used to make black gunpowder enough to blow up mountains to obtain stone.

Zhou Changxing was dumbfounded. When he saw Huo Yunchao and secret guard Yi walking towards the direction of the exploded bamboo tube, he realized and hurriedly chased after him: "Master Hou, what was that just now?"

Huo Yunchao no longer kept secrets, but bluntly stated his plan: "Black gunpowder. I need it to blow up the mountain to get stones. If everything goes well, I may use it to blow up the mountain road that must be passed from Pingle Village to the county government office." In this way, the distance from Pingle Village to the county government office can be shortened by half!"

Zhou Changxing swallowed hard and didn't speak again for a while.

Secret Guard B once appeared in the sea of ​​​​blood in the corpse mountain. He was extremely brave. He said with admiration: "Master Marquis, this black gunpowder is used on the battlefield. No matter how powerful the enemy is, it cannot withstand it."

Huo Yunchao shook his head and said: "Black powder is unstable and I do not recommend its use on the battlefield. But if Your Majesty really needs it, I have no right to object."

Secret Guard B couldn't help but glance at Huo Yunchao a few times, but he didn't say anything.

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.

Huo Yunchao thought that the development and testing of black gunpowder would definitely promote changes in the way of war in the Great Victory, but he only hesitated for a long time and decided to first produce the stone materials for the river embankment and the houses of the refugees in a short time.

Things have to be prioritized, and Huo Yunchao must build the river embankment. He cares more about the people in front of him and the living people than the war damage caused by black gunpowder.

bang bang bang-

In the next half hour, explosions sounded frequently here, each sound louder than the last.

In the deep mountains and old forests not far from the test site, a dark guard holding a sharp blade given by Emperor Yong'an cut off the head of a bandit!

Secret Guard Jia found fifteen more boxes of stolen official silver in the bandit's treasure room. The key evidence in Emperor Yong'an's controversial stolen official silver case has been collected, and he needs to return to the capital as soon as possible with the evidence.

At this moment, secret guard A heard the explosion from the foot of the mountain, and Lao Yuan saw his colleague secret guard B, Huo Yunchao and Zhou Changxing from a distance.

The secret guard ordered people to transport the stolen official silver to the other side of the mountain, and he came to the blasting test site: "Greetings to the Marquis!"

Huo Yunchao happened to find the black powder formula that was most suitable for blasting rocks. When he saw the sudden appearance of the dark guard, he was a little curious: "Huh? Why are you here?"

The secret guard A reported the situation to Huo Yunchao: "Reporting to the Marquis, I need to leave immediately and return to the capital."

Huo Yunchao didn't ask any more questions. He only told the secret guard: "You wait one more day, and when I have adjusted the formula of black gunpowder, you can send it to His Majesty. When asked, tell me that I used it to blow up mountains and quarry rocks." "

The secret guard didn't understand and asked: "Master Hou, is black powder the thing that exploded just now?"

Huo Yunchao asked again: "That's right! It doesn't matter if you wait one more day, right? In addition to the black gunpowder, I also have a book to submit to Your Majesty. I don't feel comfortable handing it to anyone else. It would be more appropriate for you to submit it."

The dark guard nodded in agreement.

He didn't miss a day or two. The return journey was so far, so one day earlier and one day later wouldn't have much impact.
