Chapter 127
As the two of them were talking, they saw a large ball of fire flashing in the sky, followed by a ball of black smoke. A loud sound immediately followed, and the sound was very loud.
The two of them were startled and reacted at the same time. Old Man Zhang immediately said, "No, this sound is wrong, why is it so loud? Are fireworks so loud? What else do they do? If this thing falls into the crowd, it will be dead?"
Old Man Bi was also shocked and swallowed and said, "That's true. It's not the usual fireworks. I know. I know what this is. This is a weapon that the Ministry of Works and the soldiers in the capital have not been researched. OK, the Zhang family really knows how to use this thing and what to ward off evil spirits?
This thing is clearly a powerful weapon for killing people. The firecrackers they made before are absolutely different from this thing. I don’t believe that they don’t know the power of this thing when they make firecrackers. Otherwise, how could they keep the production workshop so tightly?"
Old Man Bi stopped swallowing his saliva now, and he was swallowed. Looking at the gradually dissipating black smoke in the sky, his whole body trembled, and his face felt a numb feeling.
Old Man Zhang also knew about this, but he didn't understand what the Zhang family was doing to do these things, and asked, "The Zhang family didn't want to rebel, right? With such a good thing, the ordinary army will be in trouble, especially the livestock of horses. When they hear such a big noise, they will be frightened to something happen."
"What rebellion is done? Just relying on the Zhang family's people? I don't know what they are going to do. If they can't do it, they have to ask, leave, and delay it. If this matter is known to those who are interested, it will be troublesome. Before the court can do it, they will get the things out. What consequences will you think?"
Old Man Bi no longer had the intention to fish, so he wanted to figure out the matter out as soon as possible. The two of them asked the people who followed him to pack up their things, and they were sitting in the open car and heading towards that direction.
While rushing to the road, huge noises sounded from time to time in the sky, as if they were getting bigger and bigger, and the smoke was getting bigger and bigger, which means that the weight was getting bigger and bigger.
After running for a while, the horse finally didn't dare to go there. No matter how the people driving the bus were, it would be useless.
Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi had to get out of the car and walked over there, wanting to know what the Zhang family was going to do. When they were about to reach the place, there was even greater movement there, but it was not from the sky, but from the ground.
After waiting for the two people to be seen by the people from the Zhang family's inner courtyard outside, Wang Juan, who was doing the experiment inside, came out to greet him.
"Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Bi, why are you two here? There is a lot of noise here, so let's go somewhere else."
Wang Juan stood at the entrance of the courtyard and didn't let go, so she just said to the two old men.
"I still know that the noise is very loud? We all know that we are staying there. If we don't come, wouldn't you blow up the sky? Tell me why are you so brave? Can that thing be taken out at will?"
Old man Bi said angrily, and even said a pun. Wang Juan naturally understood what that heaven meant, but she had to make enough things to protect her people. She had to do an experiment before.
Seeing that the two old men were both concerned, Wang Juan hesitated for a moment, finally gave up that position and said, "Okay, Grandpa Bi, Grandpa Zhang, I made another fun thing, come in and take a look."
Since both of them came to me, Wang Juan could not stop him from seeing him. It would be better to take the initiative. Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi also came for this matter. Follow Wang Juan and walked in. When they got inside, they saw a bamboo tube that was blown up on the ground. When the two were curious, they didn't wait to ask, Wang Juan took the initiative to say:
"It's this, it's so fun. Come on. I'll do it again as I did just now. Grandpa Bi and Grandpa Zhang, you must not say this fun thing now, otherwise it will not be fun."
"Don't worry, we are all protecting you. We know what to say and what not to say." Old Man Bi said to Wang Juan as he looked at the people over there busy.
Those people in the inner courtyard brought a new bamboo tube, then fixed it down, took a large round firework, left the twist outside, then went in, then ignited the fire, and ran away when the fire broke out.
With a pinging sound, a big fireball spurted into the sky, and when it came to the sky, it exploded with a loud bang. At this time, it was close, and the movement was even bigger than before.
After doing this, the people in the inner courtyard stuffed a paper-wrapped into the bamboo tube and also lit the twist, which ran faster.
When Old Man Zhang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, a big fireball also appeared inside, and then exploded in the sky. The fireball had just exploded, and another one appeared inside. Five out in a row, and five out of the sky also exploded. While the people around him were waiting for the sixth to come out, the bamboo tube suddenly exploded.
Wang Juan sighed disappointed, and let out a sigh and said with his hands blocked, "It failed again. There is nothing wrong with the common fireworks that are only thirty. This has changed a little bit, why did five of them come out after ten? Last time, one of them came out and exploded. What's the difference?
The gunpowder burned too fast, and the twist inside was not connected well. No, I have to continue to do this. Come on, take the copper tube and sink it. It's better than being blown off at any time. What if this thing explodes, what should people who resist it?"
Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi listened to Wang Juan muttering there, and the two of them began to sweat hard. Now they finally knew what the Zhang family was doing. They wanted to put that thing in the tube and carry it on their shoulders. If the fireworks that were directly set up were in trouble, then the thing could now adjust its direction at any time.
Even if it is not that accurate, the approximate range is still fine. If this thing is set up horizontally and the power of today's fireworks is so powerful, it is definitely not for viewing, it can kill people.
The Zhang family is definitely used as a weapon. The two of them don’t know why the Zhang family brought Wang Juan over to do this experiment, but this thing is not wrong. Old man Bi looked at Wang Juan and asked, “Can you tell us what this is?”
"Fireworks, big fireworks, and the fireworks can also be adjusted. Unfortunately, this thing has not been completely prepared. If it is done, it will not explode without being launched."
Wang Juan explained to Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi with a innocent look on his face.
Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi nodded at the same time, and Old Man Bi said again: "I know this thing is called fireworks, but can you tell us what the consequences will be if this firework is set against people?"
"Why should I let go to people? This thing cannot be let go to people. It is very dangerous and can easily kill people. Oh, after saying this, I remember that this is a bit too powerful. If you don't get it, you will be able to get it less in the future. That's it."
Wang Juan still looks cute, but now Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi don’t think she is cute anymore. This little girl actually lies in front of her without blushing.
"Actually, I just ask you whether this thing can be made into a weapon. You must know that the court is still studying it, but it has not been studied. You have made it out first, how do you plan to explain it?" Old Man Zhang asked the truth.
Wang Juan did not continue to ask questions and said, "This thing is not good as a weapon, it is just a scare. If you really want to make it into a weapon, you need to continue research. My family is to make this thing to scare people.
Although this thing is very disturbing, if you really want to use something to kill someone, you have to keep a few people watching one person. However, it is still unclear where the place you will fly after you go out, especially during wars, the distance between this thing is not far from the bow and arrow, so who would use it as a weapon?"
Wang Juan first introduced the shortcomings of this thing, and then said: "Unless, put some iron nails or something in it, and then it will explode when the rumbling blows, even if you can't directly blow people to death, those things will fly around.
If it flies to the throat and eyes, it will be powerful. Even if it enters someone else's stomach, legs, arms, etc., it can also affect the subsequent battle separation. Yes, that's it, but our Zhang family doesn't like this. We and others want to do things well, so we won't use it as weapons."
After Wang Juan finished speaking these words, he watched Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi stop talking and let the two of them digest it well. The two old men were already scared by what Wang Juan said. Even though Wang Juan repeatedly emphasized that their family is interested in peace, the two of them no longer believe it. What kind of peace-loving people who love peace would make such things?
Who are you lying to? But the two of them were very happy. As Wang Juan said, it might not work if this thing is used directly to do something, but as long as you add something else to it, it will cause great harm to people.
Especially, they can still carry it on their shoulders. If everyone in the army on their side carries some, use a bow and arrow first, and when they wait for both sides to charge, they will order this thing. The enemies they directly face will be knocked down immediately, especially when facing the cavalry, they will scare people from the horse to the ground.
"Can you tell me how to do this? I have to help you smooth out this matter." After Old Man Bi understood the function of this thing, he started to ask for a prescription.
Wang Juan nodded, shook her head again, and said, "There is a prescription, but Grandpa Bi, how do you deliver this prescription? Do you need to use a carrier pigeon or a military post? I won't say much about how expensive this prescription is. If you have a little bit of it on this road, then people from other countries will get it. What do you think should you do at that time?"
Yes, this prescription cannot be leaked at all. Otherwise, it will be over. Just send such a good weapon to others. If the surrounding countries that have not dared to fight for the time being know about this prescription, they will definitely make a large number of them and attack them.
The two old men were in a dilemma, and Wang Juan said from the side: "I think the imperial court is not short of time. When we are waiting for us to go back, we will take it there. Soon, it will be almost done to complete the construction of Luzhou.
And during this time, we can continue to improve this method and find a better prescription. At that time, we don’t need to work harder by the court. We will naturally know the best way to do it."
Wang Juan said this, but she had already decided in her heart that those more powerful things must not be easily known to others in the future, otherwise they would have sent them to the court? She would have to keep some help at home.
Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi really had no better way. At the same time, they nodded and were ready to leave, and let the Zhang family continue to do the experiment. As soon as they turned around, Wang Juan was not waiting to breathe a sigh of relief, the two of them turned back at the same time, looking at Wang Juan and asked, "The fleet on your side seems to be different from before, what do you want to do?"
The two of them just remembered this question when they turned around and asked again tacitly.
"What are you doing? Go to the sea and go to the sea to take a look. If you can get good things, you will get them back. If there is something delicious, I will keep it for Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Bi to eat slowly." Wang Juan said to the two of them with a smile.
The two old men were very moved when they heard Wang Juan's words. They thought of them when they had something good, but they always felt that things were not that simple. Old man Zhang stared at Wang Juan and looked back hard, while Wang Juan flashed his big eyes and looked back in confusion.
"Okay, let's tell us the truth, what are you planning to bring? And what are you doing with those things? The dried fruits are still of so many kinds of rice, and even tools for distilled liquor. Take this for kelp? Why didn't you bring them before?"
Seeing that Old Man Zhang could not see anything from Wang Juan's eyes, he could only ask directly.
Wang Juan made a sudden expression, "Oh~! It turned out that this is the matter. This is for the preparation for going to the sea, but it was not based on the previous road to the capital, but sailed far away in the sea. Perhaps it was possible to find other places, just like ***.
At the beginning, who knew there was such a place? Someone took a boat to go over, or the people there came over, just discovered it. We were just going to see if we could find other places like this. If we found it, if there were people on it, we could trade with them and communicate with each other."
The meaning of what Wang Juan said was all guesses, not that certain. The two old men finally couldn't hear any flaws. No matter how they thought about it, they would never have thought that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had already given the place and would cause war.
Old Man Bi pondered for a moment and said, "So this is what it is, but if you ask them to go out to sea, what if you encounter danger? Those things are just prepared for them to go further?"
"Yes, that's it. The water on the sea cannot be drunk. You can get water with the distilled thing. Those fruits are for preventing diseases, and the others are like this. I don't know how long it will take to go out this time. If you are blown by a strong wind, you can't find the direction, and you have to search for it more before you can come back. What if you are not ready?"
Wang Juan did not hide this matter, and of course she did not say what kind of disease these things were used to treat. Instead, she would get sick.
Old Man Zhang was also listening and thinking. When Wang Juan finished explaining, he said, "I really met someone when I got to the place. Will the people here say what you guys say over there? What should I do if I fight?"
"Yes, the people here don't say what's there, and we won't say what's the words of some people living on the mountain. I'm really worried. If they bully us, there is really no good way for our people to be beaten when they get there. When we think about it, we will tell Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Bi when we think about it."
Wang Juan also looked sad, following Old Man Zhang's words.
"What else do you think? Isn't the fireworks that were created just to avoid suffering from other places? What should have been thought of long ago. The Zhang family always forced to do things to that point before they were willing to take out the hidden things.
Juanjuan, to be honest, do you think there will be woods and many other places, and there will be many local people there?"
Old Man Bi suddenly interrupted at this time and asked Wang Juan.
"I don't know, who knows what the place you are going to look like? Maybe you can't find the land at all." Wang Juan replied in a confused manner.
"No, I must know, otherwise why did the Miaogu team in your family go into the mountains for training? And you also made that amazing firework here. What does this mean? It means that you must know about the things over there. Forget it, if you don't want to say it, you won't say it. When you come back, you will know it. Remember to keep it for me and Old Man Zhang if you have good things."
After all, Old Man Bi is not a fool. How could anyone who can sit in the Shangshu position have never imagined that this has been exposed and immediately linked all the clues together.
At this time, he was really convinced, and it wouldn't work if he didn't. When the Zhang family was doing things here, he felt that he had changed a little before, which was a linked approach. He only took out the means to deal with things when they encountered them.
Who knew that this was the Zhang family making a larger layout. No wonder they had to repair the dock so big, no wonder they had to build such a large dock, no wonder they had to train the army here, no wonder they took out such explosive weapons. It turned out that everything was for the last step.
It can be imagined that when I really found land and people there, I should know that there may be different specialties in each place of the Tang Dynasty. Some are beautiful, and some can be used as medicinal materials. Who knows what good things are there?
The Zhang family went out to make a lot of money. They had a good skill, but they didn't know when this plan started. If it was arranged by Zhang Zhong when he was here to be the governor, it would be really scary.
Thinking of this, Old Man Bi's face looked a little bad and was frightened. He could not figure out this huge layout. He was a scholar who had served as a Shangshu. He could not even guess the abilities of the two masters of the Zhang family. He even knew what diseases were prone to when going to sea, and he also made corresponding preparations.
Old Man Bi's face was not good-looking, and Old Man Zhang next to him was also trembling with fear. At the beginning, he was really not as much as Old Man Bi thought. Now that Old Man Bi has said something, he doesn't know it.
He also heard about the Zhang family's affairs in Sanshui County and Huayuan County. As long as they do something that seems to be inaccessible, there will inevitably be connections between them, and in the end it will make things bigger and bigger, so big that everyone dares not think about it.
So it seems the same now. It’s not clear whether the Zhang family’s current approach is at the last step or just one link in a certain layout. If you can’t guess, the biggest possibility is a certain link.
Perhaps it is only after leaving here in front of Zhang Zhong that he can understand the result of this layout. I think it will scare many people like before.
The two old men looked at each other, nodded at Wang Juan, and left without saying anything.
Wang Juan stood in the yard, watched the two people leave, smiled and said to himself, "Go guess and guess hard. If Xiaobao's layout can be seen directly, then he will not be Zhang Xiaobao. Humph, I don't even know what will happen in the end, you want to guess?"
Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi who left the yard walked very slowly. They were hit today. The things they had always wanted to figure out were not understood yet. To be precise, they figured out a little bit, but they were greeted with more unknowns and doubts.
"Let's go fishing. If you can't figure it out, you won't think about it. One day you will be clear. As long as the Zhang family does not rebel, you don't have to worry. It seems that they will not rebel, especially the loyalty of the Zhang family to the court, there is no problem."
After Old Man Bi couldn't figure it out, he was unwilling to think about it. Just wait and see. His health is still strong enough to live a few more years, and he will know what the Zhang family is like at that time.
Old Man Zhang was not as open as Old Man Bi thought. He was still thinking about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache. Suddenly, he thought of something very important and said to Old Man Bi:
"You said that if they really found land outside, there were people like mountain people on the land. If they were defeated, could they still be controlled by this side? Even if the people from both of them ran to establish the country, we would have no choice."
