In the open space of the arsenal, there was a large pit about one and a half people deep, with a diameter of more than ten feet. There were still curls of black smoke in the pit. The young masters Qin Qiong and Chai Shao looked over and found that the pit was pitch black. , couldn't help but gasp, and then turned to look at Lu Chen with strange eyes.
The expressions in the eyes of these young men looking at Lu Chen were surprisingly consistent: "You said this thing ruined the venue a little? Do you believe it or not?"
"What can explode like this? If someone were to be blown up with such power, they would be shattered into pieces, right?" Cheng Yaojin took out his brocade handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and ran around the pit to look into the pit. At this time, black gunpowder appeared The smell of sulfur caused by the explosion had spread everywhere. Lu Chen and others covered their mouths and noses with brocade handkerchiefs, "Why do we smell a smell of sulfur?" Cheng Yaojin glanced at the pit for a few times, then ran back with a strange expression on his face. asked.
"I remember that there was a warlock who made alchemy a few years ago. He also blew up the alchemy furnace when he was making alchemy. There was a lot of sulfur smell at that time!" Smelling the sulfur smell, Qin Qiong thought for a moment and said, "Brother, you are not letting me. Are those warlocks making elixirs?" Qin Qiong glanced at Lu Chen worriedly.
Qin Qiong knows that there are many nobles and relatives of the emperor who like to find the way to immortality. They often summon warlocks who claim to be able to refine elixirs to make pills in the mansion. The one who recently recruited many of these warlocks is King Wu Du Fuwei. , but Qin Qiong knew that that thing was simply illusory, so Qin Qiong was worried that Lu Chen's explosion was also caused by the warlock's alchemy, but there were no fragments of the bronze alchemy furnace around, which made Qin Qiong very puzzled.
"Alchemy?" Hearing Qin Qiong's words, Lu Chen laughed directly, "I don't believe in such illusory things as immortality. I just asked people to do an experiment! I didn't expect it to explode!" Lu Chen explained to Qin Qiong with a smile. .
"What kind of experiment can cause such a violent explosion?" Chai Shao still asked curiously.
"Actually, I was just thinking about it. In the past, when those warlocks made elixirs and exploded furnaces, they were very powerful. I thought, if this thing is researched, wouldn't it be much easier to attack the city? What about the city gate? Just explode, and then...hehe!" Lu Chen laughed directly after saying this, but his expression was somewhat vulgar.
"Did it succeed?" Cheng Yaojin interrupted angrily and asked.
"My Lord Su! If it succeeds, how can there be such a big hole on this ground?" Lu Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin with a speechless expression. In fact, only Lu Chen himself knew whether it succeeded or not. If it failed, then Sui How to fire a rifle? How did Lu Chen let the earthen grenade made by the arsenal explode? It's just that something happened while Xu Gaofeng and his son were studying fireworks, but Lu Chen couldn't give this to these princes.
If they get this thing now, they will be in big trouble. If they get this thing, if they get it, the Xuanwu Sect will have to be changed in advance.
"It's not so easy to succeed. I'm just trying to figure it out!" Lu Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Fortunately, today we just blew up a hole in the field, and the craftsmen were not injured. If they were injured or killed, I would feel terrible." I really can't make it!" At this point, Lu Chen sighed.
"If my dear brother succeeds in developing it one day, it will be another great achievement for the Tang Dynasty!" After seeing Lu Chen's expression, Qin Qiong stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This thing cannot be successful overnight. But dear brother, you should be more careful when developing such dangerous objects in the future!" Qin Qiong said with great concern for Lu Chen.
Others also nodded in agreement with Qin Qiong's words, and at the same time gave Lu Chen a few words of comfort.
"Thank you all for your concern, I will be more cautious in the future!" Lu Chen thanked the gentlemen with his hands.
"I've always heard that Brother Xian produces a lot of novelty objects in this workshop area. How about showing us around?" Cheng Yaojin's eyes had been wandering between the workshops, and then he rushed directly to Lu Chen suggested.
"Of course it's okay!" Lu Chen nodded directly in agreement, "But let's not go to that workshop, right? After all, there was an explosion just now, and they are busy cleaning up inside!" Lu Chen pointed to the workshop Said the arsenal in the distance.
"It's natural!" Before Cheng Yaojin could say anything, Qin Qiong nodded directly. Originally, Cheng Yaojin was most interested in the arsenal, but when Qin Qiong said this, he couldn't say anything else.
"Then come with my foolish brother!" Lu Chen took the lead and took these gentlemen to the Liulicong Workshop. The Liulicong workshop was currently working in full swing. When he saw Lu Chen and several gentlemen, When the master comes in, these people will put down their work and pay tribute to Lu Chen and others.
Lu Chen waved his hand directly, "Just do what you have to do. If this thing is delayed, it will be useless! We just have a look, you are busy with your work!" Lu Chen stopped everyone from saluting, and only Ding Wu ran over. , presented gifts to Lu Chen and several other gentlemen.
"How are you today?" Lu Chen looked at Ding Wu and asked.
"Back to my father-in-law, now that the old guys are all proficient, they can also make accurate copies of the drawings given by my father-in-law, especially with Xiang Zheng's help." After saying this, Ding Wu was not far away guiding the glass blower. Xiang Zheng, "Our productivity has improved a lot this day!"
"That's okay!" Lu Chen and several other gentlemen took a look at the finished product and praised Ding Wu with great satisfaction, "Let's go back and each of us will go to the manager to receive a reward of 30 cents!"
"Thank you for the reward, sir!" The craftsmen cheered when they heard that they had received the reward money.
"Work hard! The reward will be yours!" Lu Chen looked at these cheering craftsmen and said with a smile and waved his hands.
"Xiang Zheng, come here!" Lu Chen waved to Xiang Zheng.
As soon as Xiang Zheng heard Lu Chen calling him, he quickly wiped his hands on his clothes and trotted to Lu Chen.
"I've met the young master!" Xiang Zheng saluted Lu Chen and several others respectfully.
"I didn't expect it! You actually understand this?" Lu Chen looked at Xiang Zheng in the "Five Mohists" and asked with a smile.
"I used to work for the Liuli Hu merchants, and I overheard them telling them about the Persian method of making colored glaze, but I didn't remember it all. When I came to the father-in-law, I didn't expect that the father-in-law also knew the method of making colored glaze. , Even better than what the villain heard!" Xiang Zheng said respectfully.
"That is to say, did you compare the production method you heard with my production method?" Lu Chen looked at Xiang Zheng and asked.
"Back to the young master, I only know a little bit about the Persian glaze making method. The making method here is much better than the low man! All the low man can do is to help these craftsmen improve. It’s just proficiency!” Xiang Zheng said with a smile.
"That's good! If you have experience, tutor them more!" Lu Chen nodded, patted Xiang Zheng on the shoulder and said.
"The villain will do his best to live up to the expectations of the father-in-law!" Xiang Zheng hurriedly saluted.
"Your family should come to Lujiazhuang in a few days, and then you can put your heart into your stomach!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord!" In fact, for these "Mozhe Five", what they are most worried about is their family. Now that Lu Chen has told his family that they will come to Lujiazhuang in a few days, how can he not feel like this? Practical and touching.
"No need to say these polite words!" Lu Chen patted Xiang Zheng on the shoulder again, "Go and get busy!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Yes!" Xiang Zheng saluted Lu Chen and the other gentlemen again, then turned and left.
"Let's go to the next workshop?" Lu Chen turned around and suggested to Qin Qiong and others.
"Brother, I am the master, and we are the guests. We guests can just do as the master does!" When Lu Chen was talking to the craftsman just now, these gentlemen were not idle, and they were all strolling around Liulicang to watch.
"Know the truth!" At this moment, Qin Qiong looked directly at Cheng Yaojin, and at the same time looked at Cheng Yaojin's chest, with a somewhat unhappy look on his face, "Your Majesty, how unbecoming is it to act like this!"
"Second brother, you also know that our old Cheng is a rooster. This glazed zodiac sign is really attractive!" After being scolded by Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin took the glazed rooster from his arms with a sneer on his face. come out.
"Do you like this, Duke Su?" Seeing Cheng Yaojin's child-like behavior, Lu Chen held back a smile and said, "If Duke Su likes it, you can tell Yu brother directly, why bother! If it is spread by those people, this pair of Su Guojin will The Duke's reputation is not good!" Lu Chen reminded Cheng Yaojin that although this old man has always had a bad reputation, after all, Lu Chen does not advocate this kind of "taking advantage of others".
"Brother Lu Xian is right. A gentleman loves money in a good way. Old Cheng, you are really wrong this time! It will be troublesome if the children see it!" Chai Shao also came over and scolded Cheng Yaojin.
"Yes! Yes! Our old Cheng was wrong this time, okay?" Cheng Yaojin, who was scolded by several people in turn, shamelessly apologized.
"Actually, to be conceited, this thing is really not worth a lot of money to Yudi. But as you all know, this involves a plan of Yudi. If it is taken out by Su Guogong, it will inevitably be a waste of words. , after this incident is over, how about I personally deliver your favorite things to your house?" Lu Chen led a few people out of Liulicang, and on the way to the papermaking workshop, Lu Chen said to them sincerely The old man said.
"Of course it's up to my dear brother to make the decision!" Upon hearing this, several people were overjoyed. In fact, they all liked this glass product. After thinking about Lu Chen's plan, they just hoped that it would be cheaper in the future. When I bought this thing, I never thought that Lu Chen would directly offer it to them. How could these people be unhappy?
"Then we, Old Cheng, need more! Our family has a large population!" Cheng Yaojin said shamelessly.
