"Hydrated lime isn't very good."
Holding his small chin, Tang Wan pointed out the problem accurately: "I remember that only quicklime can cause high-intensity corrosion after contacting the skin. Hydrated lime is not good."
"Nonsense, I taught you this knowledge, how can I not know it?"
After sneering, Zhou Li put the bag of hydrated lime into his arms. Then he took out an exquisite wooden box from the secret compartment on the side, opened it, picked up several small leather bags in the box, and shook it at Tang Wan.
"Fire-resistant stone..."
Tang Wan recognized the contents of the small bag at a glance. At the same time, she realized that the pile of slaked lime stored by Sanqianying was not for "use", but for use.
Chinese is amazing.
“Hydrated lime plus white stone creates this refractory stone.”
Zhou Li took out a small and exquisite dark red stone, about the size of a knuckle, placed it beside the candlelight and shook it. In an instant, a faint heat filled the stone. And the candlelight was extinguished instantly, losing its luster.
"its not right."
Tang Wan hissed, took the refractory stone, looked at it repeatedly, and said with some hesitation: "The refractory stone can absorb heat and prevent fire from burning the company camp. However, the Three Thousand Battalion itself does not have a fire array, and it rarely uses fire attacks. , why are there so many refractory stones stored?"
"The Three Thousand Battalion itself is a ranger, and the refractory stones have no effect except slowing down their marching speed. But according to my estimation, there are at least a hundred refractory stones in this outpost, even if it is to burn all the way to Beijing. In the event of a large fire, these refractory stones can also control the fire.”
Zhou Li looked at the box of refractory stones, stretched out his hand, and took several of the refractory stones into his arms. Refractory stone seems to be cheap in raw materials, but its production requires a lot of manpower and material resources. This box of refractory stones, to
At least I can buy half a grand building.
But such a precious thing was placed in an inconspicuous Three Thousand Battalion outpost without any cover.
In that case, don't.
If you don't want it, I'll just pick it up.
Zhou Li and Tang Guan, who knew each other tacitly, took two pockets of refractory stones, and then Zhu Qianyun, who rushed over, also took another pocket. In this way, Zhou Li and the other three happily finished picking up the wool and walked out of the warehouse.
"Are you all ready?"
After placing the last package in the carriage, Cen Shu raised her head, looked at the three people walking out of the outpost, and said, "We're done here."
"We took a lot of water, food, and some utensils."
Patting the carriage box, Cen Shu said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there were so many redundant supplies in the outpost of the Three Thousand Battalion. Even if we took so much, it would only be a drop in the bucket. No wonder everyone said that the Northern Army was rich."
"It's normal for the troops at the border to be rich, otherwise it's easy to cause trouble."
Zhou Li took the bag of sugar that Tang Wan handed him, then pulled Tang Wan over as usual, paused up and down, and took out the other bag of sugar that she was carrying. Under the resentful gaze of the other party, Zhou Li put away the sugar and explained:
"The Thirteen Cities of the North Ring are themselves border gates. In addition, the King of Han made great contributions in the Jingnan Campaign, so Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty gave him a lot of rights. The military fields, government merchants, and salt and iron monopoly of the Thirteen Cities of the North Ring were all given to him. He defeated the King of Han, so the army under the King of Han was much richer than most people thought."
He raised his head and looked at the thirty soldiers who had changed their armor and each led three horses and one mane horse, preparing to attack day and night. Zhou Li narrowed his eyes and murmured softly:
"But it's a bit strange to be so wealthy."
"fine."
Zhu Qianyun also led a war horse. Compared with the galloping horses in Taixue, which were better at leg strength, this armored war horse was more suitable for her riding habit. The dark and shiny war horse is covered with wrought iron armor. On the left side of the horse is Zhu Qianyun's Tang sword, and on the right side is a suit of armor hanging. She patted the horse's neck and said with some emotion:
"My father has often done business with Hu merchants over the years. The rare herbs and gold and silver there are extremely cheap. Sugar, salt and earthen jars are shipped and replaced in batches. As time goes by, my father I’m even happier to find that he can still be very rich even if he doesn’t have the so-called Jiangnan water town, and he can also make money from foreigners.”
"That's true."
Zhou Li nodded, feeling normal. After all, this world is a magically modified version of the Ming Dynasty, and the countries outside are even more magical. Ever since Joan of Arc told Zhou Li that the white-robed mage Gandalf was the first elder of the French Witch Church, he felt that nothing that happened in this world would surprise him.
Unless Tang Wan awakens to the blue silver entanglement.
Soon, thirty soldiers were waiting around the carriage. The heavy black armor was extremely oppressive, making Xu Teda's face not far away even paler. He didn't know why he, a poor rat, could experience such a wonderful life in just three days. From being voluntarily sent to Taiying, to being kidnapped by the Black-Handed Condor, and now inexplicably becoming a prisoner of the Three Thousand Battalion, he will be sent to Taiying to be beheaded.
Shushu, I really need to send it.
Compared to Xu Teda, who has already begun to consider whether he can change species next time he is reincarnated, his sister Xu Xuan seems particularly calm. She took advantage of the moonlight and transformed into a black cat. She didn't care about the gazes of the soldiers, and swaggered into Zhou Li's arms. Her golden eyes looked around, looking at the outpost curiously.
"Did you see something?"
Zhou Li got on his horse and put the black cat on his shoulder. Lowering his voice, Zhou Li asked in a low voice, pretending that nothing happened.
"There are a lot of threads."
Doubts appeared in the golden eyes. The black cat tilted his head and replied softly: "There are many threads that I can't see clearly. They are entangled together and it is difficult to separate the source. There is even a bunch of pink threads that I can't understand. It’s still somewhat familiar. There are some lines that I’ve never seen before, and they don’t look like Ming Dynasty lines.”
"really."
Zhou Li narrowed his eyes and looked back at the outpost. Then he suppressed the doubts in his heart and rode his horse to follow the carriage not far away.
Li Zuoying was placed at the outpost by Zhou Li and others. One soldier was responsible for guarding Li Zuoying, while the others were responsible for escorting the "prisoners" in the carriage and Zhou Li and the others.
As for Zhuge Qing...
"The Taoist Master is also a fake?"
In the carriage, Cen Shu looked at Zhuge Qing who had been silent and asked in disbelief: "Is she also a clone?"
"So be it."
Zhou Li thought for a while and said: "Su Xiu used willow branches to disguise two clones. One was herself to confuse the soldiers. The other was a formless clone, which was the reward she gave us. Taoist Priest I didn’t know what to do, so I turned this formless clone into her appearance and gave it to me.”
"No wonder the Taoist priest has been silent."
Yun Baibai nodded in sudden realization, and then he understood why the Taoist Master had not said a word from the beginning to the end, and the most important thing was that the Taoist Master did not take out the shadow stone when facing the great fun just now!
This was even scarier than Tang Wan suddenly not breathing. (End of chapter)
