Chapter 698 We are blessed by gods

The gunpowder developed by Shen Xiao and Mr. Qin made great contributions to the construction of canals. It not only saved manpower and time, but also gave the people hope.

That day, Shen Qingqian asked Shen Chen to take a long time to take her to Rong County, next to Hubei City, and happened to encounter a small group of officers and soldiers leading local villagers to repair canals.

"Stay far away. We will start blasting immediately. If you are running slowly, don't blame the military master for not warning you."

Shen Qingqian heard someone shout this sentence several times, and asked Shen Chen to stop, "Let's also see how they exploded."

Shen Chen parked the carriage a little further away. Shen Qingqian got out of the carriage, sat on the shaft and looked in the direction of building the canal.

I couldn't see how it was operated over there, but after the onlookers all retreated to a safe distance, there was a loud noise not long after.

People around him quickly started talking.

"Oh my gosh, I thought the earth dragon had turned over. I was so scared."

"Are you blind? Look at that hill just now, it has been razed to the ground!"

"Yeah! It's true, the hill that blocked our way just now is gone!"

"What is this called? It's so awesome!"

"..."

When Shen Qingqian heard this, she smiled softly and said to Shen Chen, "Let's go, let's continue on our way."

Shen Chen was stunned for a while, and then drove her away in the car.

"Miss Six, what is that? Why is it so powerful?" Shen Chen asked curiously.

Shen Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled: "It's gunpowder, which is what big brother and the others are studying."

No one expected that gunpowder was first used to cut mountains and open roads.

It can be seen that everything has many sides. Gunpowder is a murderous weapon in war, and it is a good helper to save manpower and time when digging mountains, opening roads and building canals.

"The eldest young master has actually made such a powerful thing? It's great!" Shen Chen was very happy. If his father knew about it, he would definitely be very happy!

Shen Qingqian frowned and said no more.

As far as she knew, Shen Xiao followed the civilian route in the research of gunpowder and only designed some gunpowder weapons suitable for ordinary soldiers, while Mr. Qin followed the war route and specialized in large-scale weapons of destruction.

The gunpowder used in the blast just now should have been made by Shen Xiao.

Shen Qingqian is also proud of her eldest brother. It's great. All the brothers and sisters in the family have gradually found what they want to do. My grandfather is alive in heaven, so he must be happy, right?

Two-quarters of an hour later, Shen Qingqian arrived in Rong County.

The entrance fee to the city here is one copper coin per person and two copper coins for a carriage.

After paying the money and entering the city, Shen Chen drove the carriage to a special parking place, and then walked around the county town with Shen Qingqian.

Shen Qingqian looked leisurely and walked around on the street, and then she discovered something interesting.

The people in Rong County all had relaxed smiles on their faces.

"It seems that the people here are living a good life." Shen Qing said with a smile.

Shen nodded, "Rong County is the closest county to Hubei City. The people live and work in peace and contentment, so they naturally live a good life."

At this time, people walking by them talked about the drought with great interest.

"We in northern Hubei are really blessed by gods!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Think about it, the sun in the sky is so fierce, there is water in our rivers, and I have observed that the water in my well dries up, but no matter how low the water in the river goes down on the first day, it will be gone the next day. It’s back up again!”

"..."

Next, Shen Qingqian heard similar statements from many people, and she suddenly raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Shengze was not stupid, and he actually started to take advantage of public opinion so early.

"14+1+5, God, leave me alone..."
