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

Huo Yunchao conducted many experiments based on the ingredient ratios in the vague memory of his previous life, and finally obtained a relatively stable ratio value, which he recorded in his small notebook.

Secret Guard A privately told Secret Guard B: "After I leave, you must protect the Marquis and his family. If necessary, kill them first and then report them later."

Secret Guard B spread out his dirty palms and said, "The black gunpowder invented by the Marquis will have miraculous effects if used on the battlefield."

The secret guard smiled and said: "The Marquis has a kind heart, and he must not want to turn black gunpowder into a murderous weapon."

"This is beyond your control, Lord Marquis."

Secret Guard B shrugged. Such powerful black powder would be used on the battlefield sooner or later. It was just a matter of time.

The secret guard didn't say anything else, and he, a mere secret guard, had nothing to say.

Secret Guard B reminded: "Brother, remember to go back to Xu's house and tell your wife before you leave."

The secret guard shook his head and refused without thinking: "No need to worry."

Secret Guard B is an extremely pure hidden foodie, and is more concerned about the food issue on the way back than Secret Guard A: "Brother, this is not a matter of etiquette. You have to say goodbye to Madam, and Madam will definitely ask Qiuyun to prepare the top pick for you. Noodles and various pickles! You don’t want to spend more than half a month eating dry food when you go back, do you?”

"Thank you for reminding me! Otherwise, I could only eat dry food along the way. At most, I would eat some game for a change."

Only then did the secret guard realize how serious a problem he had overlooked. He had a habit of drinking spicy food that was popular in the Xu family. He subconsciously thought that there would be many delicious meals waiting for him on the way back.

Secret Guard B reminded again: "Based on my understanding of the Marquis and his wife, I will definitely ask you to hand over some Zhuangyuan Noodle pickles to Mr. Chen. You have to make it clear to Qiu Yun and ask her to prepare an extra portion for you. ."

The secret guard A nodded repeatedly. He had previously been focused on escorting Guan Yin, completely forgetting that he was a person with normal physiological needs, such as eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping.

Huo Yunchao had no idea that two secret guards were eyeing the pickles and fine wine in his warehouse. They were writing down his experimental experience in a small notebook, and did not forget to attach a reminder.

For the sake of safety, Huo Yunchao used very few black powder ingredients when conducting experiments. He only needed to make them ignite and detonate.

If this black powder formula is handed over to Emperor Yong'an, craftsmen will be arranged to verify it based on the experimental data he provided. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the craftsmen, various precautions must be reminded again and again. .

There is no room for sloppiness in a matter where human life is at stake.

Huo Yunchao wrote in his notebook:

The soul of gunpowder is saltpeter, which helps combustion; sulfur is a common flammable substance; charcoal makes burning more gentle.

If the sulfur ratio is increased to 70%, gunpowder can be used to explode and mine; if the charcoal ratio is increased, gunpowder tends to burn slowly.

The charcoal ratio of black gunpowder is extremely high. The advantage is that it is stable and does not fail. The disadvantage is that it burns slowly and has low energy, so it cannot explode at all.

He specifically described the properties of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal to help craftsmen better understand black powder.

When he returned to the county government office, it was already the zenith of the moon.

Magistrate Wang had been busy all day and finally had time to rest. Suddenly he heard a servant coming to report: "Sir, Marquis Pingle is here."

Hearing that Huo Yunchao came to visit at this point, County Magistrate Wang was very puzzled. He put on his coat and came out to greet him: "Yunchao, why are you... looking like a clay figure? Come in quickly!"

Huo Yunchao was very excited: "Sir, didn't I say that I was going to do something earth-shattering? I've already done most of it! Here, this is my record. Is there anything left to eat in the kitchen? I'm hungry."

Magistrate Wang subconsciously replied: "Yes."

Without waiting for Magistrate Wang to say another sentence, Huo Yunchao ran straight towards the kitchen and saw the cook packing things: "Hurry up and get me some food!"

The cook was very curious, but she was a rule-abiding person, so she did her work quietly without asking any questions.

Secret Guard A stood guard outside the kitchen door, and Secret Guard Y followed him in a familiar manner, preparing to provide enough food and clothing for himself. But before he even touched the dishes, he was stopped by: "Wash your hands?"

Secret Guard B opened his hands and said, "Wash them clean."

Marquis is famous for his love of cleanliness. No matter how hungry or thirsty Secret Guard B is, he will wash his hands first. If conditions do not allow it, he would also like to change into clean clothes.

Huo Yunchao told the cook: "Bring a bowl out and give it to the person guarding the door."

The dark guard took the bowl and spoon very quickly and started eating it in big gulps.

Huo Yunchao glanced at the secret guard Yi who was eating a big meal, and said to himself: People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat for one meal, you will be hungry.

After reading what Huo Yunchao wrote in the notebook, Magistrate Wang was really shocked by the other party's shocking experiment!

"Yun Chao, have you really developed black powder that can explode mountains and quarry rocks?"

Magistrate Wang ordered the cook to leave the kitchen and asked impatiently.

He didn't know anything about black powder, but he knew that Huo Yunchao was not a braggart, and whatever Huo Yunchao said would basically come true.

Magistrate Wang didn't know anything about farming or scientific proportioning, but he often went to Xu Ning's house in Pingle Village to have food, so he knew what Huo Yunchao wrote about the Pingshan Road in the notebook.

Without waiting for Huo Yunchao's reply, Magistrate Wang asked again: "Yunchao, can this black gunpowder really explode so many stones?"

Huo Yunchao didn't answer immediately. He was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. He drank half a bowl of broth, wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and said, "Sir, the few ingredients I asked you for before are only enough for me to do the ingredient comparison test. As long as With enough materials, I can be sure to make enough black powder to blow up mountains and quarry rocks."

He does not want to rely solely on manpower to do things. The people at the bottom are more powerful than others. The problem is that they suffer from hunger all year round and have low productivity. Excessive exploitation is tantamount to drying up the lake and burning the forest for hunting.

What's more, if Huo Yunchao doesn't know the formula of black powder, that's all. He obviously has advanced knowledge and skills, and he just wants to turn them into productivity!

Magistrate Wang looked at the confident Huo Yunchao and swallowed hard: "Seriously?"

Huo Yunchao nodded heavily and said: "It really can't be true anymore! Sir, I don't need to lie to you. I promised the refugees that I would let them live in solid houses, and the reclaimed wasteland would not be affected by floods, so that they would have houses. Live on land, grow food, and take root. If I can say this, I will do my best to realize it!"

Magistrate Wang no longer doubted whether Huo Yunchao was telling the truth or lies. He quickly realized the real problem: "Yunchao, have you ever thought about it, if black gunpowder is used by criminals to seek wealth and death, or if it is If you use it on the battlefield, you will suffer a reputation, aren't you worried?"

Huo Yunchao was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Sir, did the knife used by the gangsters to kill people make any mistakes?"

Magistrate Wang was speechless.
