Datang Longya

Chapter 600 Fireworks
The cold war between monarchs and ministers that lasted for several months returned to the original state in an instant, as if it had never happened.

The reform of the currency is still going on at a leisurely pace. When Leng Feng bought a few pigs and the butcher gave him new copper coins, he knew that the reform of the currency was almost coming to an end.

Banks can be said to have played an indispensable role in such a smooth currency reform.

The solid reputation of Tang Dynasty merchants made Leng Feng willing to take the risk and let rich merchants from all over the world participate in the construction of the bank.

Facts have proved that their reputation is indeed strong, with such a large flow of funds, until the handover to the court, there is no trouble in any place.

The current reputation of the bank is not only established by a bank in Chang'an, but also the credit of those businessmen.

Asking the soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Army to carry the pigs in a large carriage, Leng Feng went to the Academy of Arts.

Buying pigs is a precedent set by Han Chongwen. Originally, the Academy only had the opportunity to eat meat once a week, but Han Chongwen saw that many children from poor families were greedy for meat, so he used his own money to buy meat for the students, turning once a week into a meal. Twice a week.

The gentlemen of the Academy of Arts took turns to pay for this time. Leng Feng also played the role of a guest teacher at any rate, and he also had his share in buying meat.

Let the soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Army bring the meat to the cafeteria, while Leng Feng went to the scientific research institute to check on Li Tai's progress.

It stands to reason that he has already drawn a sketch of the planter, so Li Tai can't make it out!

The land of the scientific research institute is now full of ravines. Li Tai and his men are leading a cow to pull the machine behind it.

It was the planter drawn by Leng Feng.

However, compared with Leng Feng's sketch, Li Tai's is obviously improved. There are even auxiliary wheels on both sides to keep the seed box moving in a straight line.

Seeing Leng Feng approaching, Li Tai ran over with a smile and said, "Master, what do you think of the improved planter I made?"

Leng Feng nodded: "Very good, at least it has improved a lot, but unfortunately there is no chance to experiment, it is not a success if you get the seeds down, the depth of the sowing is also very important."

Li Tai was led by Leng Feng to plant the land before, knowing this, he nodded: "When the spring plows next year, I will definitely make this machine perfect through farming."

Leng Feng walked around the planter and found nothing wrong, but his sight was attracted by something under the nearby tree.

It was an iron pipe, which is not surprising. Although Tiesheng couldn't produce standard iron pipes and threads, it was no problem to find similar ones.

The important thing is that the part above the iron pipe looks like a fuse no matter how you look at it.

What is this?
Leng Feng walked over, picked up the iron pipe and looked at it.

The top of the iron pipe was covered with a thin layer of paper, and Leng Feng, who had played with fireworks, did not reach out to poke it.

"Are these fireworks?" Leng Feng asked Li Tai.

Li Tai came over, looked at what Leng Feng was holding, and said, "This is something that Zhang Zhongqing tinkered with. He said it looks great when played at night, and it won't explode. It took me a lot of effort to ask him for it." I got one, but the name hasn’t been picked yet.”

When did Zhang Zhongqing stop tinkering with killing things, and tinkering with such fun things?

With doubts, Leng Feng went to Jinglei Division.

Now Jingleisi has changed his place again and moved to a deep mountain. There is an iron chain bridge between the site and the outside world. As long as the iron chain is broken there, with countless gunpowder weapons, he can resist any attack.

This is the sequelae of Zhang Zhongqing's kidnapping incident. For the safety of gunpowder weapons, if he can go to the sky, Zhang Zhongqing will definitely send Jinglei to the sky.

After swiping his face and entering Jinglei Division, Leng Feng saw the scene where everyone in the manufacturing department was stuffing their fireworks.

Originally, he thought Zhang Zhongqing was just doing it for fun, but now it seems that it is not as simple as just playing for fun!

When Leng Feng arrived, the guard must notify Zhang Zhongqing, so it didn't take long for Leng Feng to feel that there was an extra person behind him.

Zhang Zhongqing said with a bitter face: "I knew that King Wei would attract you if he took away a firework. Don't say I wasted it. It is the emperor who asked me to do this."

Charcoal and saltpeter are easier to obtain, and sulfur is a very rare thing.

Leng Feng shook his head: "I don't doubt that you are making fireworks now, what I wonder is why do you know the name 'Fireworks'?"

Every gunpowder weapon, like thunder, is named by Zhang Zhongqing. It would not be surprising if Zhang Zhongqing called fireworks "Stinky Fart" Leng Feng, and he just called them fireworks. What a coincidence!
Zhang Zhongqing chuckled: "Do you remember that time last year when we both drank a lot? When you were drunk, you talked a lot, and said that compared to real weapons, my Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt are like fireworks. He also told me about the beauty of fireworks, hehehe."

Drunk people tend to slip up, and Leng Feng is no exception. He never imagined that he would say so many things to Zhang Zhongqing after drinking too much.

"So what? Why did the emperor ask you to make fireworks?"

Leng Feng felt that he needed to change the subject, otherwise Zhang Zhongqing would definitely complain that he knew more powerful weapons, but he would not tell him how to make them.

Zhang Zhongqing shrugged: "I said it was the emperor's order, so I don't know what to do with it? Well, well, it's a rare time for you to come with me to see my new concealed mine. I tell you, as long as it is in the jungle War, this concealment mine will definitely play a big role."

Hearing Zhang Zhongqing's bragging, Leng Feng knew without looking that what he made was a booby trap. In fact, there was nothing magical about it. He just hung a string to the thunderbolt, set it up and waited for the unlucky ghost to activate the grenade.

This thing, Leng Feng dismantled I don't know how much.

Sure enough, Leng Feng's guess was correct, Zhang Zhongqing's concealed mine was just a booby trap, without any technical content.

Looking at the self-satisfied Zhang Zhongqing, Leng Feng reluctantly picked up a stone and activated the booby trap from a long distance, and the soil brought up by the explosion could not even reach his feet.

"If you want a yin person, you can also get a thinner thread! It's so thick, I found it from a long distance. Also, you can't make the thread lower and cover it with weeds. The most important thing is , can you shorten the fuze inside Jinglei, if this is a running person, he won’t be blown up by Jinglei!.”

Zhang Zhongqing didn't care about Leng Feng's indiscriminate bombardment, he knew that no matter what kind of gunpowder weapon he made, he would get advice from Leng Feng.

After finding thin wires, creating new thunderstorms, and rearranging them, Zhang Zhongqing asked Leng Feng, "Is this all right?"

Leng Feng looked at it again and said: "This is not bad. It will definitely kill a lot of people. But, having said that, what are the fireworks used for? You really don't know?"

Zhang Zhongqing looked at Leng Feng speechlessly, this guy believed he knew it!
