Zhang Muzi, the county magistrate, must be extremely aggrieved.
In desperation, he could only write a letter to his thigh and complain.
Not long after, a man sneakily came to the door.
After the man revealed his identity, he chatted with Zhang Muzi all night.
A few days later, the escort agency in Ta County opened.
The escort agency's place is quite small.
From the deputy head escort to the escort below, everything is covered. It seemed like no one had ever seen the chief escort.
On weekdays, the person responsible for taking over the work is always the deputy chief escort.
This strange situation did not attract much attention.
Xie Yu's life during this period of time was very nourishing.
With two wives by his side, others are simply envious.
Affected by Xie Yu, many men and women in the village who liked each other directly accelerated their love affairs.
Some people even push the progress bar to the end!
Happy events in Baishi Village also come one after another.
During this period of time, life in the village seemed to be celebrating the New Year every day.
On the other hand, Li Daniu's sister Li Cuihua spent the whole day in a depressed mood.
I heard that Li Cuihua almost stripped herself naked and sent her to Wang Yi's bed in order to pursue Wang Yi, the third boss.
It's a pity that Wang Yi turned a blind eye to Li Cuihua's affection.
Now that Wang Yi has gone down the mountain again, Li Cuihua looks even more lonely.
Bai Xiaonan talked to Xie Yu again about Li Cuihua.
Xie Yu really doesn't have any good ideas.
"I can't tie up Wang Yi and send him to Li Cuihua's bed, right?"
When Xie Yu said this, Li Cuihua was beside him.
This sentence made Li Cuihua blush.
But her eyes were a bit eager to try.
Li Daniu was afraid that his sister would be embarrassed, so he quickly took Li Cuihua and left.
Xie Yu also continued to give instructions to others and make final adjustments to the "flowering bomb".
During this time, the mold for making flower bombs has been prepared. After the casting was cooled, it was manually polished to make the size of the shell fit the diameter of the smoothbore gun.
According to the current productivity of the cottage, one hundred of these blooming bombs can be made in a day.
This amount is quite good.
Now all it takes is Wang Yi's fire and saltpeter to be in place.
Just when Xie Yu was counting how many days it would take for Wang Yi to come back, Wang Yi came back ahead of schedule.
And he also brought back five thousand kilograms of fire salt.
Xie Yu counted the days, that’s not right!
How many days have you been out for?
Judging by the distance, I'm afraid we haven't reached the place yet, right?
Wang Yi explained: "After I arrived in Fanzhi, Daizhou, I met an acquaintance from back then. That person had a way with fire and salt. I was wondering who to buy it from, so I decided directly from him."
"I don't know if the fire salt is useful or not, so I discussed with him to get it over first. If it's useful, I can settle the settlement with him next time! So I didn't spend the money!"
Xie Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Third brother's reputation is really big! An acquaintance whom I haven't seen for many years is still willing to let you make an idling?"
Wang Yi suddenly laughed: "Haha, that's right, you don't even know who I am, Third Master?"
Xie Yu checked the fire salt and found that the quality was very good!
Chen Zhong had also prepared other materials for making gunpowder.
For the next three days, Xie Yu hid in the performance room alone and began to prepare gunpowder.
No one is allowed to approach the performance room without permission!
Even if Bai Xiaonan and Ding Wenjun shouted to thank Yu for dinner, they would have to stay far away.
Three days later, Xie Yu left the performance room with the finished gunpowder product.
The smoothbore gun has been fixed on a "running car".
Xie Yu took his people to the back mountain to conduct experiments.
Still on the open back mountain platform before.
Xie Yu pointed the barrel of the gun at the top of the opposite hill, and then had people use huge rocks to fix the gun truck.
Then everyone followed Xie Yu's request and stayed away from the artillery truck.
Xie Yu lit the fuse and ran away quickly.
The quality of this smoothbore cannon has not been verified, so Xie Yu is also worried that this thing will explode.
It really exploded, the lethality is no joke.
The burning speed of the fuse is controllable.
Xie Yu did it long enough for him to run to a safe distance.
After a while, a loud noise made everyone present roll their eyes.
Only Xie Yu covered his ears and smiled.
After the flower bomb flew out, it exploded on the opposite hilltop!
The shock wave spread out, carrying the shrapnel inside the shell and flying everywhere!
The earth and rocks on the top of the mountain were splashing, and the vegetation seemed to have been swept by a typhoon!
Seeing this power, everyone was stunned.
Xie Yu nodded. Well enough.
Went over to check the bore of the smoothbore cannon.
There is no bore expansion in the tube and there is no change in diameter.
no problem! Very strong!
According to Xie Yu's estimation, there is no problem if this thing crashes three to five hundred times.
But for the sake of safety, Xie Yu still set the service life of this thing at three hundred times.
Xie Yu asked blacksmith Liu Dashan to put a number on each smoothbore cannon and then make a record book.
Each gun must be recorded how many times it has been fired. If there are more than 300 times, they will be forced to "retire".
For the next two days, Baishizhai has been experimenting with these fifty smoothbore cannons that have been completed.
Everyone ran to the back hill to watch the fun.
As each cannonball is fired, the scene of the rocks on the opposite side being shattered and flying everywhere will always draw waves of exclamations.
When everyone knew that this smoothbore cannon would be the defensive weapon of the village from now on, everyone's sense of security was instantly heightened.
But this thunderous sound reached Yunying Village.
Huo Feng sent someone to inquire about the situation. When he heard that Baishizhai had obtained an "artifact" from somewhere, which could crack mountains and rocks like an immortal, Huo Feng fell silent.
"This Baishi Village...why is it becoming more and more difficult to see through?"
Two days later, Xie Yu announced that the experiment was over.
Of the fifty smoothbore cannons, a few defective ones were picked out.
Bore explosion did not occur, but the change in bore diameter exceeded normal values.
Xie Yu directly asked people to eliminate those smoothbore cannons.
Then, all the smoothbore cannons that had passed the test were arranged around the gate of the stockade.
At this time, Baishi Village is not only impregnable, but at least with Yingzhou's current military strength, it would take seven or eight thousand people to break it without even thinking.
Fire saltpeter is consumed very quickly. So Wang Yi went down the mountain again.
During this period, Yingzhou official roads also began to flourish. The number of caravans coming and going gradually increased.
The villages along the way began to follow Xie Yu's instructions and set up service pilots.
The Three-Li Pavilion and the Five-Li Pavilion are built one after another.
It is said to be a pavilion, but it is actually a simple thatched house. Then set up a few tables and chairs and get some tea, wine, meat, etc. for the passing merchants to rest.
As for the price, the standard has been set by the Development Committee, and no one dares to "rip off customers."
At first, the merchants were afraid that there was sweating medicine in the wine.
In order to prove their innocence, these men who used to specialize in murder and arson just went out to "test the poison" with their smiling faces. Only those brave merchants tried to rest in these stalls.
Once it was confirmed that everything was alright, the bandits' service reputation gradually spread.
It didn't take long...the bandits' soliciting behavior began to escalate.
Two adjacent villages that were subcontracted and divided began to fight for "customers".
