Chapter 42 Why is he a carpenter's grandson? (Seeking a monthly pass

Yang Qilong?

This name is so familiar!

By the way, during the Kangxi period, there seemed to be a fake third prince Zhu who rebelled in Beijing. He was named Yang Qilong! Could it be the one in front of him?

Zhu Hesheng looked in the direction of Daboling's finger and saw Yang Qilong, who was handsome, gentle and elegant, and had an extraordinary temperament. He thought to himself: "You are a high-quality imitation third prince, who looks much like the third prince who looks like Guan Gong! No wonder you can fool people into rebelling in Beijing. But you are not ready to rebel in Beijing, so why do you come to Chaozhou for something?"

Yang Qilong was stunned again. He never expected that the guy who was wandering around a row of smelly "pig pens" in front of him was the famous grandson Zhu San... This guy looked fierce and looked like a pirate who killed and set fire. How could he look like Grandson Zhu San? The descendants of the old Zhu family must be like him. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong rebelled? Hurry up and call him brother!

And why did Prince Zhu build so many pigpens? Shouldn’t he recruit soldiers to rebel?

It would be fine if you build some stables, but you can set up so many pigpens... Riding pigs to the battlefield? Isn't it impossible to defeat the Manchus?

Daboling was also stunned. She originally thought that Zhu Hesheng and Yang Qilong would meet too late, so why did it get a mess?

Could it be that Monk Yang also discovered that the artillery was not normal?

I don’t know what happened to this cannon Zhu recently. He didn’t do anything good at it and learned to do business with others. He had to build more than 20 pigpens and pile up some tin... What kind of business is this?

Moreover, he was no longer fierce after learning to do business. He smiled all day long and looked kind and made money. He didn't like it anymore - Daboling liked the original fierceness of the cannon Zhu! The cannon Zhu was a tiger on Danan Mountain! Why is it almost the same as a lucky cat?

What puzzled Daboling even more was that this "fortune cat" made herself smelly all day long...

However, Daboling was finally determined to be the cannon Zhu. After sighing, she began to match the two sides.

"Archive Zhu, this Master Yang was introduced by an old friend of the factory. He brought a seal that could prove the identity of the King Zhu, and he came directly from Shang Zhixin's army, bringing the latest military situation of the Qing barbarians!

Master Yang, the third grandson is now inspecting the nitrogen pile pool... It is a pool that produces nitrogen soil! There is no saltpeter mine in Guangdong, so you can only use nitrogen soil to boil nitrogen. However, the natural nitrate soil produced very little, so you can only use this method to produce it."

"Oh, so that's it... I Qilong, I respectfully invite the third grandson to Jin'an!" Yang Qilong also reacted, quickly turned over and dismounted, walked to Zhu Hesheng, lifted up the monk's robe and was about to kneel down.

Zhu Hesheng hurriedly supported Yang Qilong and did not let him kneel down. "Master Yang's name, I have heard of it in Tiannan...Master, please come in!"

As he said that, he pointed to the gate of the Pang Jiawei Building. Oh, now the Pang Jiawei Building has been renamed Zhu Jiawei Building. Because the factory eunuch Pang is unwilling to be surrounded by the "pig pen", and he is angry with Zhu Hesheng because the "Auspicious Pot" was blown to pieces, he also moved to the Dongyin Qian Factory in Haimen Port to live.

After a few greetings, Zhu Hesheng pulled Yang Qilong's hand and walked into the surrounding building where he lived.

After entering, Yang Qilong found that the magnificent building looked like a grand appearance, and it was converted into a workshop. A huge shed had been built in the patio in the middle of the building. A few large iron pots and a copper pot were built under the shed, and there were also twenty or thirty large wooden basins, twenty or thirty small wooden basins and thirty or forty iron basins.

This is the "workshop" for refining fire-silt. Because the purity of the nitrate soil collected from the "pig pen-type nitrate pile pond" is not high, it must be purified here to obtain crystalline fire-silt. Of course, the method of purifying fire-silt is a civil method, but as long as the process designed by Zhu Hesheng is strictly followed step by step, you can still obtain high-purity fire-silt - Zhu Hesheng had previously used the nucleus soil scraped from other places (stables, chicken and duck sheds, toilets, etc.) to successfully obtain three or four kilograms of fire-silt with good purity.

However, this "nitrifying workshop" has not started construction today because there is no nitric soil for use! So there is no one in the workshop, only a half-hearted man sitting in front of a small stove to "boil sugar water". When he saw Zhu Hesheng coming in, he hurriedly threw down the small copper pot at hand and hurriedly took out the exit cover, crystal glasses and gloves from his side. However, he was not careful, but burned the "sum water". If he had not taken off the small copper pot with a long wooden handle from the small stove in time, he might have to "fry the candy"!

The oldest boy knew that he had made a mistake and was caught by Zhu Hesheng. He had to stand up with a sad face and look at Zhu Hesheng like a boy who made a mistake.

Zhu Hesheng didn't get angry, but just said to the boy with a gentle voice: "Ahuzi, you have nothing to boil sugar water... But it's wrong to not wear masks, gloves, and goggles. Safety production must be the first priority! In addition, what about the sand for extinguishing fires? Why not place it in a place within your reach? Boiling sugar water is very dangerous, don't you know?"

"Brother, I..." This kid was said a lot by Zhu Hesheng. He was quite aggrieved and could not speak. He also called Zhu Hesheng "Brother". It turned out that he was Qiu Hui's son, and he had the tenth name, and he had the word "tiger". He was only twelve years old this year.

Perhaps because he was too careless in his studies, he annoyed his mother, so he sent him to his brother-in-law Zhu Hesheng to attend a "technical school" - there were twenty or thirty people who came with him, all of whom were the sons of the big boss Hui's personal soldiers. He came to Zhu Hesheng to learn "boiling candy", that is, making sweet gunpowder.

However, Zhu Hesheng, the master, regarded most of them (everyone except Qiu Hu) as cheap labor, and only gave them half an hour of classes every day (it would be enough if they were really taught half an hour a day), but asked them to go to the construction site of the "Nitro Pond Field" for five and a half hours of physical work, and did not give a penny salary... The problem of this black-hearted capitalist has not been corrected!

Qiu Hu was Qiu Hui's son and Zhu Hesheng's brother-in-law. Of course, he had to take special care. Not only did he not need cool labor, he could also "open small kitchens" to practice his craftsmanship. Zhu Hesheng also reported his craftsmanship to make granular black gunpowder.

However, this kid is not a manual material. He is clumsy, practices more than others, and learns slowly than others. What makes Zhu Hesheng even more trouble is that this kid has a very bad temper and will beat people up when he disagrees. That is, Zhu Hesheng (actually the original Zhu Qipao) who is "fighting like a tiger and evil like a wolf" can subdue him.

Zhu Hesheng said Qiu Hu two words, and then ordered: "Wash the copper pot and be careful not to burn it... After you go back, copy the 'Sugar Water Art' and 'Black Sesame Art' to me. Remember, you must write neatly!"

The so-called "sugar water technique" and "black sesame technique" are actually the formulas for making sweet gunpowder and granular black gunpowder - because most of the children sent by Qiu Hui do not know words and cannot take notes. So Zhu Hesheng had to compile the sequence and precautions of making sweet gunpowder and granular black gunpowder into a catchy liquor poem, which also called "mantra".

When he heard that he had to write, he had to be neat, Qiu Hu's voice was filled with crying voices, but he didn't dare to contradict Zhu Hesheng - that was a cannon that was as fierce as a tiger and as evil as a wolf!

Seeing Qiu Hu agreeing obediently, Zhu Hesheng continued to lead Yang Qilong into a carpenter room - this was originally a main hall for guests, but now it has become a workshop for Zhu Hesheng to do carpenter work. There are several carpenters invited from Gucheng Village who are working. When he saw Zhu Hesheng coming in, he did not stop his work and was still busy.

Zhu Hesheng said to Yang Qilong with a smile: "Master, this is originally a living room, but now it has become my carpentry room... Let's take a few more steps inside and go to the study to talk."

Your carpentry room?

After hearing what Zhu Hesheng said, Yang Qilong discovered that there were still desks and chairs in the carpenter room. There were four treasures of the study on the desk, and there were also a row of strange "white drawings" hanging next to it. The parts of the wooden utensils were painted, and several small copper-cast round hammers were placed.
