Chapter 891

In order to be lively, Li forgot to worry about making gunpowder to make firecrackers and fireworks.

But he didn't give gunpowder to Li Er as a weapon. The reason is that Li forgets worry. He feels that gunpowder is too overbearing. After turning it into a weapon, he hurts Tianhe.

But after a battle today, he realized that his idea was really childish.

Knives and guns can kill, bows and arrows can kill, and weapons made of gunpowder can also kill. Since the purpose is to kill people, it's stupid to kill people with gunpowder.

Now in Li's opinion, the weapon that can kill those bureaucrats outside the city is a good weapon!

He called Niu Wu and told him to find Dugu Feng and collect saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal in the city to prepare gunpowder.

"Lang Jun, at this time, do you still want to make explosive poles? Now many people in the city are filial piety. It's inappropriate to set off explosive poles at this time?" Niu Wu looked puzzled when he heard the speech.

Although he was the one who made gunpowder with Li forget you at the beginning, in Niu Wu's cognition, the purpose of gunpowder is to make explosive rods and fireworks.

Now Jiulong County is facing a huge crisis. Does your husband still have the mind to do these things?

Li forgot to worry. He was so angry that he almost kicked him.

"Pig brain, who told you that I want to make a blasting rod?"

"Is that to make fireworks? Does Mr. Lang want to break the fireworks into the night sky and warn the outside world?"

Li Qieyou was almost annoyed by the uneducated goods and didn't bother to explain.

"Go as soon as you can! Remember, collect as many as you have and transport them all... Well, transport them all to the county government! I'm in urgent need. Don't neglect it. It's related to whether Jiulong County can keep it!"

Li Qieyou originally wanted to say that it would be transported to the hotel, but on second thought, it would be safer to transport something as dangerous as gunpowder to the county government.

"Here!" Niu Wu saw that Li forgot you was serious. Then he knew that his husband was not joking. He hurried to inform Dugu Feng to collect materials.

Dugu Feng was suspicious of Niu Wu's notice, but he didn't dare to neglect it.

When he heard that the Duke of Huxian wanted to collect these things, which was related to guarding the city, he quickly led the Yamen to collect these three materials around the city.

Charcoal is simple. Even if it's not enough, you can ask someone to build a kiln and burn it at any time. Sulfur is also reluctantly. After all, sulfur is useful for many purposes, whether it is used as medicine or insect repellent at home.

Even paper mills need sulfur to bleach paper.

There are also paper mills in Jiulong County.

Dugu Feng led a group of Yamen servants to collect sulfur everywhere. He collected all the sulfur stored in medicine shops, paper mills and households in the county, but he made up a lot.

Only nitrate, but I didn't find much at all.

Nitrate can be used to boil cooked leather, but there is no nitrate leather workshop in Jiulong County.

Saltpeter is mainly used as medicine to treat moisture and skin diseases, but the dosage is not large. Therefore, there is not much saltpeter in the drug shops in the county and city.

Dugu Feng searched the whole city, but he only found less than a kilogram of saltpeter.

When Li forgets to worry about this, he also frowns.

To make black gunpowder, the amount of saltpeter can be much more than sulfur. Now Jiulong County is besieged by Liao people, but where to find saltpeter?

If there is not enough saltpeter, that is, potassium nitrate, the gunpowder will fart!

Isn't it true that he has become empty, has the skill of killing dragons, and has no dragons to kill.

After su Changqing learned about this, he had expected Li forgetful worry to make gunpowder and kill the four sides to save the people of Jiulong County, but he didn't expect to be hit directly because of the problem of raw materials.

"Forget your worries, what should I do now? Without enough nitrate, black gunpowder can't be made at all."

"Do as much as you have. It's really not good. You can only use it as a killer mace at a critical time."

Li Qieyou is also very depressed. Less than a kilogram of saltpeter can't produce much black gunpowder. Moreover, the power of black gunpowder is not very great. In this way, the function is even more limited.

It can only be made and taken by surprise to see if it can frighten those "inexperienced" colleagues.

After all, the sound and fire produced by the explosion of black gunpowder are quite amazing. For colleagues who have never seen explosives, it is bound to startle them.

Li forgets worry very much and orders Niu Wu to grind out charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter first, and configure black powder first.

How to make black gunpowder, Niu Wu is more skilled than Li forgetful.

After all, the goods were lazy. After studying how to make black gunpowder, they lost their brains to the two brothers Niu Wu and Niu Yong.

Send Niu Wu to the county government office to prepare gunpowder. Li forgets to worry about staying in the hostel, and continues to think about what else can be used to win by surprise.

While he was thinking hard, he felt a pain in his stomach, so he quickly got up and went to the thatched cottage.

The hut of the hostel is relatively clean.

But Datang's toilet is limited no matter how clean it is.

There is no need to say more about the taste. It can't be avoided anyway.

Moreover, the ground and corners of the thatched house, even if they are often cleaned, still bear layers of white crystals.

Li Qieyou squatted in the thatched cottage and looked at the white crystals in his eyes. A flash of lightning crossed his mind and made him stand up immediately.

Immediately, Li forgot to worry and squatted down again... Ma egg, forgot what he was doing and almost burned his pants

Li forgets to worry. After dealing with the matter, he rushes out of the hut with his pants like a whirlwind.

"Zhang Dalang, Zhang Erlang! Go and find Dugu Mingfu for me!"

Seeing that Lang Junji's pants were too late to tie up, the two brothers did not dare to ask more. They quickly turned to find Dugu Feng.

Soon, Dugu Feng, who got the news, hurried to the hotel. As a result, he was dumbfounded when he heard Li forgetful's words.

"Grandpa? Are you serious? At this time, let the lower officials mobilize the people in the city to scrape the earth in thatched huts and pig pens? Why?"

Li forgot to worry about squatting in the thatched cottage. When he saw those white crystals, he thought of "scraping nitrate soil".

When he was a child, he heard from the elders of the farmers that in the old society, there was still a popular trade in the countryside called boiling nitrate.

Every morning, people in the village carry a basket and scrape nitrate soil at the walls of toilets, pig pens and old houses in the village. After processing, they boil nitrate and salt for sale.

Li Qieyou doesn't know when the process of scraping nitrate soil and boiling nitrate appeared. It is recorded in Tiangong Kaiwu of the Ming Dynasty, but there must be no such method of extracting nitrate in the Tang Dynasty.

The nitrates used in Datang are extracted from natural nitrates.

In Jiulong County, there is naturally no nitrate mine, but there are toilets, pig feet and old houses everywhere. The problem of restricting gunpowder production is solved by mainly mobilizing people to scrape nitrate soil.

But Su Changqing could understand this, but Dugu Feng was really hard to understand. At such a time, the grand founding county official wanted to mobilize the people of the whole city to scrape those white crystals next to the thatched cottage. Isn't that enough to support?

Is there any special hobby for this Huxian Duke?

Dugu Feng's heart was full of disgust, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to deal with it
