Huaidefang, Chang'an City, the backyard of the Duke's Mansion.
A plump, round-faced young lady ran into the yard happily and stepped onto the second floor of the attic in three steps at a time.
"Miss, guess what, who did I find out about in the front yard just now?"
Yuchi Wanning, who was nestling on the sofa, put down the books in his hands after hearing this, looked at Bai Ling with an excited face, and said with a smile:
"Looking at how gloating about your misfortune, have you heard about someone else's embarrassing incident?"
Bai Ling shook his head, sat down next to Yuchi Wan Ning, narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"It's that pervert... man from Qin County, Lantian County."
Yuchi Wanning looked solemn when he heard this, straightened up and asked:
"Master Qin, what happened to him?"
Bai Ling chuckled and relayed the news he heard in the front yard to his young lady.
During the process, Bai Ling, who was very nervous, only showed off the information he had gathered, and was completely unaware of the changing expressions of his young lady.
After Bai Ling finished speaking, seeing that his young lady remained silent, he couldn't help but tug on Yuchi Wan Ning's sleeve.
"Miss?"
Yuchi Wanning came back to his senses, patted the back of Bai Ling's hand, and said with a smile:
"Bailing, we haven't been out for a long time. How about the lady taking you to Xuandu Temple to burn incense tomorrow?"
"Yeah!"
When Bai Ling heard that she could go out for fun tomorrow, she jumped up from the sofa.
Because the movement was too large, it caused a turbulent wave in front of him.
.......
Qinjiazhuang, Lantian County
After Qin Ming and others saw the rice fields, they returned to the Qin Mansion.
He originally thought he could chat with Xiao Changxi after lunch, but when he asked in the backyard, he found out that Xiao Changxi had not returned home at noon.
Qin Ming probably guessed that Xiao Changxi might be avoiding him.
Qin Ming is not in a hurry about this. He has to go to the workshop soon anyway.
I met you when I couldn't tell you.
Qin Ming had lunch, drew a few drawings in the office, and then went straight out of the house and walked towards the carriage.
When Qin Da saw his young master coming out, he quickly jumped off the carriage and bowed:
"Son."
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"Did you bring the fireworks launcher?"
Qin Da nodded and said:
"Already tied to the back of the carriage."
While the two were talking, Qin Ming had already got on the carriage.
He opened the car door, thought for a moment, and said to Qin Da:
"Ada, I'll send someone down shortly to notify you. Except for Mao Tu and Si Snake, the other captains of the escort team will gather in the front yard at 2:00 tonight."
Qin Da cupped his hands and said:
"It's young master."
After a while,
The carriage slowly drove into a courtyard surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The courtyard wall is made of blue bricks and cement, and the wall is two feet high.
This is the secret base built by Qin Ming.
As soon as Qin Ming jumped off the carriage, Xu Gou, one of the people in charge of the base, came up to him.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the young master."
Qin Ming smiled and waved his hand and said:
"Get up."
"Here."
After saying that, Xu Gou led Qin Ming and Qin Da into the base office.
When Qin Ming sat down, Xu Gou walked up to Qin Ming and said respectfully:
"Sir, are you here to review the new members of the base?"
Qin Ming shook his head and said:
"Come here this time. There is something you need to arrange for someone to do."
When Xu Gou heard this, he cupped his hands and said:
"Please give me your orders, my subordinates will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Qin Ming nodded slightly, took out a piece of rice paper from his arms, handed it to Xu Gou and said:
"Later, take a few people with you and go to the vehicle factory to find Zhang Zhaoyang. He will arrange for someone to teach you how to make fireworks."
"After you learn how to do it, make a special batch of fireworks according to this drawing."
Xu Gou took the drawing with both hands, glanced at it, and then asked:
"I wonder when you want it, Master? How many do you need to make?"
Qin Ming thought for a while and said:
"Two hundred pieces will be made within five days. If you need any materials in the process, just ask Qin Da directly and he will help you prepare them."
Xu Gou heard the words and bowed to accept the promise.
.......
After coming out of the secret base, Qin Ming took a carriage and came to a workshop.
Liu Shiqi, who received the news in advance, had already been waiting at the entrance of the workshop.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the young master."
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"Go to your office and tell me."
"Here."
After a while, Qin Ming and Qin Dabao arrived at Liu Shiqi's office.
Liu Shiqi glanced at the fireworks launcher in Qin Da's hand and asked:
"Sir, what are your orders for your visit this time?"
Qin Ming smiled and said:
"I'm here with two things that I need you to make with fine steel."
After speaking, Qin Ming waved to Qin Da.
Upon seeing this, Qin Da immediately moved the fireworks launcher in front of Liu Shiqi.
Liu Shiqi said doubtfully:
"Sir, isn't it too extravagant to make this launcher out of fine steel?"
Qin Ming smiled slightly and took out two drawings from his arms and handed them to Liu Qiqi.
"This is the size of the new launch tube. You can build ten such launch tubes according to this size."
"In addition, there are one hundred and one horizontal knives of this style."
"You have five days to complete it."
Liu Shiqi took the drawing with both hands, took a look at it, and said seriously:
"My subordinates will obey the orders and ensure the completion of the mission."
After a while,
Qin Ming took Qin Da out of the steel factory.
Qin Da hesitated for a moment, then took two steps and asked:
"Sir, now that we have the sword, what about the remaining equipment?"
Qin Ming thought for a while and said:
"Tomorrow you take Jin Da and the others to the weapon shop in Chang'an City and buy all the remaining bows and arrows and other equipment."
Qin Da heard this and bowed in response.
...
After Qin Ming came out of the steel factory, he came to his kiln without stopping.
Chen San from the glass factory stood in the open space outside the kiln entrance, looking forward to it.
Qin Ming jumped off the carriage and stopped Chen San from saluting.
"Go to your office."
Chen San agreed and immediately brought Qin Ming to the office.
After Qin Ming sat down, he first learned about the situation of glass mirrors being fired at the kiln entrance in the past two days.
Then he took out a drawing from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Sandao:
"Look at this picture, and spend the past two days studying how to make such a glass mirror."
When Chen San heard this, he took the drawing with both hands and started to read it.
After a while, Chen San said:
"It would be difficult to directly bake this style. I and the workers will study it to see if we can make this kind of mirror surface by polishing it."
Qin Ming nodded and was about to explain a few more words.
There was a knock on the office door.
After hearing Qin Ming's voice, Shui Yi walked in quickly, bowed and said:
"Sir, Duan Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry came to visit the house. Mrs. Xiao asked someone to come and find you."
