In short, Diao Chong was not polite, the two discussed about the time to have a cup of tea, made a list and handed it to the old housekeeper.

Fu Wannian took a closer look and knew that the two masters had predicted the situation, and what they were looking for were all the materials needed for daily life.It's just that I don't know how to ignite half of the city with these things alone... This time, I have to open my eyes.

On the second day, people kept coming and going in and out of the house.Except for the injured Yuan Shisanxian and Yuan Chuntuo who guarded him, everyone else was very busy.Even the four little ones of the Ren family have become the main laborers.

Diao Chong changed into a suit to cover his face, so he could move freely in the house.But he didn't dare to go out, Chisong Temple had obviously got through with the Mu Mansion, and started a large-scale spot check on the people in the city.

Of course, the Xiaoyuan along the river here already has the endorsement of the military adviser's office, so it is not included in the scope of the investigation.

Diao Chong took the risk because he was one of the two busiest people today.

A water dragon overturned and rose from the ground near the river, and a cauldron furnace was raging in the front yard.There are so many huge projects that just one person can't take care of them.

Speaking of the pill furnace, that's right, it was the military government that "borrowed" it from Chisong Temple.

The rationale for borrowing is very reasonable. Some people are injured on duty and need to refine medicine to recuperate.

The injuries in Yuanshisan County were checked by Mrs. Zhang herself last night, so there is no doubt about it.

In the Qing Dynasty, this kind of wide-mouth and large-volume container was already called a cylinder.

Briquette carbon powder, that is the fuel of the alchemy furnace.It's just that there are many rusty ironware in it... Although I don't know what it is used for, it looks safe and harmless.

Xia Chisong's chess prowess is unrivaled in the world, naturally he didn't need much effort to play against Mu Tai, even though he had already conceded four seats.

The things sent in each have their own uses, and Xia Chisong's suspicion disappeared for the most part.There are a lot of materials in the Dan family. In fact, there are indeed some secret Dan recipes that use righteousness, nourishment and blood. Raw materials such as iron rust are used.Since someone was injured, its use is also symptomatic.

At that time, in order to prevent fires, some large rough urns were prepared in the mansion to store water for emergency use.In the Central Plains, it is called a wide-mouthed large vessel and an urn, but there is no distinction between a vat and an urn outside the Great Wall. The nobles in Pingcheng have not yet changed their customs, so they like to call it a vat.

Around evening, there was a new strong man, labor, in the house.

The waterwheel and the alchemy furnace did not stop for a moment this day.The iron stone powder refined in the furnace will be taken out and replaced every half an hour.

This is a good scene from winter to spring, but he can't be happy no matter what.

Fu Yong has planned for Mu Tai for several years, and he has exhausted his plans.Mu Tai had a lot of trust in this military division, and what he said was full of protection.

After a while, there was an uproar in the mansion, and a group of people walked in.Naturally, they would not disturb the mansion master's chess game, but just followed the people to check the water tanks in the mansion.

Mu Tai hadn't made a decision at this time, and he just replied absent-mindedly, "Army, can you still believe it? There is a city king's troops stationed outside the city. Of course, their visit here is not as simple as sending off their relatives. A military adviser is always cautious. With more arrangements, others will find it more mysterious. You see, he used an excuse to thoroughly check the water tanks in the city to avoid arson and prevent trouble before it happens, what's wrong with it?"

"Shuowen" cylinder, 瓨 also.It is like a poppy, with a long neck, and it is ten buckets.

That night, the tactical meeting attended by representatives from Ren Chengwang, the military division's mansion, and Qing Yun officially started.

Of course, Xia Chisong, who was guarding the Chisong Temple, still kept his eyes open.Seeing that the house on the other side of the river had been bringing in large quantities of goods, he personally stopped several cars to verify.

This man was sent in by Fu Wannian himself, named Li Huan, and his apparent official position was to serve as a censor, that is, to impeach high-ranking officials.But as long as anyone who knows a little about officialdom rules knows that it is impossible for such a small official of the sixth rank to impeach those high-ranking officials without some background in the Baoyi Army.

His intuition told him that something bad seemed to be happening in the city.

This title is not due to the difference between classical Chinese and vernacular, but some cognitive problems outside the customs.

Hearing what Mu Tai said, Xia Chisong also felt that he was a little worried, but he just took this opportunity to report in detail about someone pretending to be a mibubu to spy on Chisongguan at night and rescue Diao Chong.

The meaning of cylinder in ancient times is indeed different from that after Qin and Han Dynasties.

The military division's office used its influence to post everywhere in the early morning of the 25th, letting out rumors that there will be an unprecedented show on the night of the filling festival.It's just that the sky is dry and things are dry, so fireproof candles are required. The military division's mansion will send people to check the water storage tanks in the city one by one to ensure that the water is sufficient.

It is precisely because Xia Chisong has a certain immersion in Dan Dao that he is more likely to be deceived.

If Xia Chisong made a thorough investigation and went through it himself, and stayed to watch the whole process, he would definitely find out that this was not an alchemy process.But he doesn't know how to look at the Buddha's face even if he doesn't look at the monk's face. The signboard of the military division's mansion is not a decoration.Even if he could pull off this face, the military government had its own plan.

To a large extent, the cylinder is a measuring container like the bucket, so it is made into a long shape and can hold ten buckets.

The so-called "smashing tank" theory was only spread in the Qing Dynasty.

Even so, Xia Chisong did not completely relax his vigilance.He found a shrewd little worker, stuffed some broken silver in his arms, and asked him to help him go to the house to see what was going on inside.

Previously, we had probably discussed the authenticity of "Sima Guang smashing the vat".In fact, the original text said that it was smashing the urn, not the vat, and there was nothing wrong with the expression.

The issue of vats and urns is mentioned in this chapter.

In the Mu Mansion, Xia Chisong is playing chess with Pingcheng's current real master.

Li Huan dared to take on this job, so he was naturally confident that he would be bold and careful.Qingyun is a discerning person, and he can tell at a glance that he is a schemer.

At that time, the 24th of the first month.

What you see is not the raw materials commonly used in alchemy such as Pengsha, ochre, and quartz, but also the necessities of life such as wheat and plant ash.

But Mu Tai's expression was obviously not so relaxed. He twisted the ball with one hand and rubbed his temples repeatedly with the other. He hesitated and calculated repeatedly, but the situation was still at a disadvantage.

The second day is the filling festival of the old calendar.This is the custom of King Yao. Twenty mend the sky to wear it, and two or five storehouses to fill the grain, in order to pray for a good year.The Tuoba family respected Yao and Shun, and this festival of filling warehouses became a big festival in the first month.

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

Last night, people from Chisongguan had already climbed over the wall and broke into other people's houses twice. Today, he really couldn't bear it, so he went to investigate for himself.

The little worker was quite attentive, he went around the house twice, and took a closer look when he left the house and did not enter other places.He said that the house had a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and it looked like he was making alchemy and decocting medicine.And the waterwheel by the river brought two millstones, one large and one small, the small one was used to grind wheat, and the large one was used to crush ore and rust iron.The ore iron powder that is ground is put into the alchemy furnace and sealed for refining.

On a sunny day, the icicles hanging from the eaves made a ticking sound in the warm sunlight.

Xia Chisong watched those militants walk up to a big vat, broke through the ice floe and inspected carefully, and murmured to himself, "What is the matter with the military division? The people are a little naughty."

Li Huan drove north with Ren Chengwang this time, in order to pronounce a sentence on the spot, and to do things cheaply. On the surface, he went through a procedure to show the legitimacy.But now that the matter is urgent, we have to do it within three days. King Ren Cheng is short of manpower, so he will be sent in first to join Mr. Fu.

Xia Chisong looked out the window absently.

It can be seen that this is a container with a clearly marked carrying capacity.It is a very capable container.Therefore, measurement is the real meaning of the tank.

The container that was closest to the modern cylinder in ancient times was not called an urn, and the correct name should be poppy.The largest pottery is called poppy ("Shuowen"). Modern people often debate whether the poppy pot should be wide-mouthed or closed-mouthed, but it is actually unnecessary.As long as it is big enough, it can be called Ying, and even etymologically speaking, urn is just the name of Ying in the Kanto region.

The method of using poppies to hold water to prevent fires appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Mozi Shoubei" said: "If you use a big tile poppy to hold more than ten liters, take ten steps, hold water, and use it once."

There are many pottery objects that can hold one person unearthed in the tombs of the Yangshao Culture. In ancient times, there was a jar with a capacity of ten liters. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a ceremony of inviting the emperor into the urn.Therefore, it is completely untenable to suspect the story of Sima Guang smashing the vat from the perspective of the maker.
