Chapter 704 Han Xin's scheming

"Damn~" Chen Xu used his black face and tried to pull out his ears a few times with his fingers, and felt his head buzzing.

Damn it, don’t fry it sooner or later, just as I let it go, you fucked it!

Han Xin, Zhao Qing and Hu Kuan and others were in different moods, some of whom were shaking their ears, some covered their ears, and some were shaking in the grass with their butts sticking out.

A few minutes later, the terrified onlookers began to slowly wake up and recover. Chen Xu had taken out his telescope again and began to observe the situation in the valley. After a few seconds, he put down the telescope and took the lead in walking towards the explosion position.

The explosion of smoke and dust has slowly dissipated.

The blasting holes at the foot of the mountain have collapsed into a large pit, with rocks piled up around them, and the blown-off gravel covered dozens of meters in the radius at the foot of the mountain. The stones of all sizes have impacted the surrounding thorns and trees into chaos.

A group of people followed Chen Xu carefully and walked slowly three or four meters away from the front of the pit, looking at the big pit that was blown out by Taiyi Divine Thunder, all of them looked surprised and frightened.

The surprise was because this Taiyi Divine Thunder was indeed a powerful tool for opening mountains. Although it only exploded a large pit that was only two meters deep, the surrounding mountain walls had begun to loosen, and cracks of varying sizes were cracked in many places. There were also many large rocks that had not fallen, but they were all shaky. Just use a wooden bar to seem to be able to pry them down.

The frightened thing is that the power of the Taiyi Divine Thunder is indeed too scary. The sound just now almost scared many people out of shit and urine.

"Marty, this Taiyi God Thunder is indeed powerful. The narrowest part of this hill is only a hundred feet long. If you use the Taiyi God Thunder to explode it ten times, it is estimated that this part of the mountain will start to loosen, and then break the gravel and move it away. The road will basically be smooth!" Zhao Qing said excitedly as he looked at the situation in front of him.

Chen Xu was not very satisfied with the situation he saw. He had a total of twenty kilograms of gunpowder, but a pit of only ten feet in size was like scabies for this part of the mountain. In fact, it did not have much impact. If the passage was to be completely exploded, it would probably take twenty or thirty cannons, and it might not be possible to achieve the best effect.

If the power is not enough, it seems that I can only use more gunpowder now.

"Have you seen clearly the method of using Taiyi Divine Thunder just now?" Chen Xu turned to look at the group of craftsmen around him.

"See clearly!" Everyone nodded together.

"That's good. Now you follow the two mute slaves to climb to the mountainside again to release them. Observe the steps carefully. After learning, you will operate the remaining places that need to bend and straightened. Pay strict attention to safety measures. If you are unable to move on the mountainside, you must hide in a safe place..."

After Chen Xu gave a careful advice to a group of craftsmen, the group followed the two mute slaves to prepare explosive bags and climbed up the mountainside. The onlookers were also stunned and slowly surrounded him, looking at the rocks that were blown open at the foot of the mountain and their faces were frightened.

With such great power as Taiyi Divine Thunder, even the strong rocks exploded into such a big pit. If it fell on a person, it would definitely be crushed to pieces.

Chen Xu took Han Xin and retreated to the valley entrance again under the protection of several guards. He took the look glasses and then handed it to Han Xin. Han Xin quickly took it excitedly and watched.

"Brother, this telescope is indeed a magical tool. It is as if it is right in front of me. I can see everyone's faces and expressions clearly..." Han Xin exclaimed while looking.

"Han Xin, it's up here. I'll set off for Xianyang tomorrow. Should you go back with me or continue playing with the construction team of the Academy of Sciences?" Chen Xu asked.

"I'd better follow my brother to Xianyang. Xianyang is the capital with a population of one million. I heard that it is the most lively and prosperous place in the world..." Han Xin quickly put down his telescope and said.

"Okay, I originally planned to let you follow the construction team to see the construction process of Dongfang Road. Since you don't like it, go back with me!" Chen Xu nodded.

"Brother, what are the good things about building roads? I want to learn how to govern the country with you, and I will assist the emperor like you in the future."

"You really think so?"

"Yes, since I was a child, I wanted to be a general who could govern the country and maintain peace and stability in the country. Because my family was poor and had no money to study, I often ran outside a school in the town to secretly listen to classes. As a result, I was bullied by a few young men in the town. I vowed to be a general and be named a marquis and humiliate them when I go back!"

Chen Xu was amused and crying. Now Han Xin is still just a young man's character, and his purpose of making a name for himself is just to humiliate him.

"I heard Xiaomi say that you are lazy and lazy, and don't like to do work and wander around all day!"

"Hehe!" Han Xin blushed and laughed dryly, "I have been poor all my life in farming and serving the crops. Who did those officials farm? Those who bully me are just short-sighted. How could I not dare to bully You Jiao in the town? At most, I would only bully poor people like us. Of course, I would not care about such people!"

Chen Xu was even more amused and shook his head and said, "Now the Qin Dynasty has unified the six countries, and there will be no major wars in the country in the future. It may be difficult to be a general. When I return to Xianyang, I will send you to Weihe Academy to study with Yulianggong. Yulianggong is a great sage in the world, and his knowledge is much better than those of the gentlemen in your town!"

"Brother, since there is no war, why are you training those teenagers for?" Han Xin asked in confusion.

"It's just a matter of precaution. If people don't have long-term plans, they will have immediate worries. Don't spread this matter, and don't inquire. Moreover, Xianyang is not a remote place like Qinghe Town. There are many kings, princes, princes, and ministers there. Remember not to cause trouble after going there."

"Yes, I will definitely listen to my brother's teachings!" Han Xin nodded quickly.

"I heard that my dad is going to take you to the construction site in Dongfangdao this time to do it. You persuaded me?" Chen Xu changed the topic.

"Yes!" Han Xin nodded awkwardly.

"Do you want to come to see me?"

"Ah?!" Han Xin was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses and his face turned red, and he nodded hesitantly, "Yes... I heard from people in the town that Chen Xu, a marquis of Qinghe Town, Zhi County, and... I secretly heard your name several times when my father and mother secretly mentioned your name. My mother advised my father to go back to Qinghe Town to take a look, but my father disagreed, so... so I instigated my parents to work at the Dongfangdao construction site during the slack farming time. Maybe I could see if the legendary Qinghe Hou was you..."

It’s so evil, I’m just thirteen years old and there are so many tricks. It’s true that I’m the number one thug who can assist Liu Bang in creating the Han Dynasty.

Chen Xu glanced at the younger brother he picked up with emotion.

"Ding bee~~" A bamboo whistle came from the mountainside, and then a small red flag was seen waving on the mountainside.

Han Xin quickly raised his telescope and looked at it and said, "Brother, they are ready!"

Seeing the red flag on the hillside, the crowd standing in the valley watching this time without the need for soldiers to drive them back like a tide. Many people retreated to the entrance of the valley, and many people probably knew the effect of the explosion, hid behind some big trees and stones and began to block their ears.

At this time, the craftsmen who followed the mountain to watch the loading of explosive bags had also begun to retreat around to find a hidden place. When the sound of bamboo whistles sounded again, the two mute slaves lit the lead again and began to run away with their heads in their arms, and their bodies flexibly jumped like rabbits and fled to a forest dozens of feet away to hide.

A few minutes later, with the earth trembling slightly, accompanied by a loud bang, a thick smoke and dust rose into the air on the mountainside, and a large amount of gravel splashed like hail. Then, large pieces of rock rolled down the hillside with the rising dust and sand.

This time, the onlookers were in a much better mood. After the splashing gravel stopped, the people hiding around were gradually emerging from the big trees and thorns, and pointed at the gravel that was still rolling downwards and began to talk loudly, and they were all very excited.

I saw with my own eyes that the immortal disciple of Qinghehou used the immortal art Taiyi Divine Thunder to explode such a big mountain, and this capital is enough to brag for the rest of my life.

When the smoke and dust in the valley dissipated, thousands of people surrounded him again.

Chen Xu and Han Xin also walked up carefully under the protection of several guards to carefully observe the blasting effect.

The location of this explosion was just below the hillside, which was about ten feet away from the first explosion. Because the first explosion had already caused cracks to shaking rocks in many places to begin to loosen. The second explosion was much better. The mountains within a range of dozens of feet collapsed, and among them, there were large rocks with a diameter of one or two feet rolling down, breaking many big trees with a waist thickness.

After the explosion, Zhao Qing and Hu Kuan and a group of craftsmen followed each other from the hidden position halfway up the mountain, gathered to Chen Xu to observe and discuss the effect of the explosion.

"Mr. Marquis, it seems that the effect is better than we guessed. After two explosions and vibrations, many places have begun to crack and loosen. When we blow up the holes we dug, we will transport and clean up the gravel. This mountain will be lowered at least five feet!" The craftsman in charge of this construction site was very excited.

"Yes, the power of the Marquis' Taiyi Divine Thunder is indeed huge. It is estimated that we can explode all this hill within two months, and then laying concrete can save a full 80 miles of distance!" Zhao Qinghe said excitedly.

The so-called laymen watch the excitement, the experts watch the tricks, ordinary people watch the process of Taiyi Divine Thunder, while Zhao Qing and these craftsmen watch the effects and results of the explosion.

"Now you will start blasting on both sides of the mountain in groups. After blowing it up, you can arrange for the construction team to enter the site to start cleaning up the gravel. Remember to pay special attention to safety and be careful of the collapse of the mountain..."

Chen Xu reminded him that a group of craftsmen and craftsmen would each go to blast the remaining positions that had been dug, so the group of craftsmen were excited and rushed to be blasters. Their souls were filled with brave spirit, and they seemed to feel extremely proud and excited about being buried in Taiyi Divine Thunder one time.

Half an hour later, a loud noise came from the opposite side of the valley. As the earth was shaking, gravel was rolling down the hillside. The ridges were filled with people watching the fun. The smoke and dust were filled with excitement and cheering excitedly, and the bones were also filled with genes that were not afraid of death.

Looking at this chaotic scene, Chen Xu felt that his skin had started to feel sore.

Within the next hour, after several violent explosions, the middle of the ridge completely turned into a pile of gravel. Under the continuous explosion and vibration, some places nearby were even rocks that were shaken down and rolled down the hillside. Fortunately, no one was injured.

"Bang bang bang bang bang~~" As a gong sounded, the merchants who contracted this project began to recruit migrant workers on the spot.

"The stonemason is ten cents a day, the apprentice is eight cents a day, the helper is seven cents a day, and the strong migrant worker is six cents a day..."

As a foreman stood on a big rock and began to speak loudly, hundreds of villagers watching the fun soon rushed up.

Craftsmen and apprentices who have craftsmanship have always had the highest wages, but today even the wages of ordinary migrant workers on the construction site have increased by one yuan. One yuan seems not much, but for these hard-earned farmers who live in the mountains, it is a lot of money. They usually pick some mountain medicinal materials and cross mountains and ridges and walk to the county town for dozens of miles. They can only sell them for three or five yuan. Moreover, they are not peaceful along the road. When they encounter robbers, they can only cry and go back. It is not uncommon to lose their lives when they resist.

Although working on this construction site is hard and tiring, as long as you are not injured by falling rocks, you will definitely earn a lot of money in two months, which can greatly improve the living conditions of your family.

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Chen Xu knew that his task had almost been completed, so he called the merchants in charge of the project, the craftsmen in charge of the construction site, Zhao Qing and Hu Kuan, and held a simple meeting near the construction site.

The content of the meeting was naturally arranged to arrange for craftsmen and craftsmen who learned to blast the blasting scattered with other merchants to blow up other places that need to be changed straight, such as low mountains, high mountains, and tunnel blasting. Although Chen Xu did not know about it, it did not prevent him from making some opinions and suggestions. Tunnel blasting must reduce the amount of gunpowder and reduce the power of the explosion. Then pay attention to using pit wood support in the tunnel, etc.

The dispatch and construction process of these personnel put Zhao Qing in full responsibility.

Chen Xu repeatedly reminded all merchants to pay attention to the safety measures of migrant workers, and also specifically reminded all merchants to pay attention to the safety measures of migrant workers. One serious injury is fined 1,000 yuan, and one death is fined 10,000 yuan. Such severe punishment measures also force all merchants not to hurry up and put safety first.
