As expected, the fireworks spread throughout Great Xia in a very short period of time.

The cottage bought a fireworks sales shop in the city, and many tourists came to buy fireworks every day.

This grand occasion can only be compared when glass mirrors and glass products were developed.

Since fireworks are consumables, merchants naturally purchase more.

Money flows into the village continuously.

Zhang Ruonan sent more people to find the refugees.

These people brought food with them and when they saw the refugees, they tempted them with food.

The refugees were willing to be tempted and followed the villagers to the village.

Among them are many who are not refugees, but ordinary people who are tempted by food.

The main reason is that the world has become increasingly chaotic, and more and more people cannot survive.

War has started in several state capitals, and local people have fled from those state capitals and been taken to mountain villages.

The scale of the mountain stronghold increased tenfold, and an army of [-] people was formed.

Zhang Ruonan pointed at the main city of Yizhou on the map and said, "It's time."

It was easy to capture Yizhou Prefecture, and no one in the Shanzhai army suffered any casualties.

On this day, the Jiedushi Mansion held a banquet, and all the officials, generals and dignitaries of Yizhou Mansion attended the banquet.

The wine drunk at the banquet was "bought" by the steward of the Jiedushi government from a copycat wine shop.

The taste of these fruit wines was very good, and the rich and powerful liked them very much.

In every banquet, fruit wine is a must.

Everyone drank the fruit wine without any precaution, but they didn't know that there was something added to the fruit wine.

As a result, all the powerful officials in Yizhou Prefecture who were able to manage affairs were brought down.

The city defense soldiers in Yizhou Prefecture were leaderless, so they easily opened the city gate and let the Zhao army enter the city.

Yizhou City easily fell into the hands of Zhao Yinze.

After that, it was the entire Yizhou.

After having a full meal, the Yizhou soldiers fell to Zhao's army without hesitation.

In this world, the people at the top eat and drink, but the soldiers at the bottom eat chaff and drink water, and are often hungry.

Now that there is an army that can feed them twice a day, they would be foolish not to join.

In this way, the Zhao Jiajun suddenly expanded to more than [-] people.

Other state capitals did not take any action against Yizhou after they knew that Yizhou was captured by the Cao Mang rebels.

First, these people focused all their energy on fighting for the territory of the Central Plains; second, the Shu Road was too difficult to walk. Even if they sent troops to Yizhou, it would be in vain if the army could not enter.

Fortunately, Yizhou's army cannot come out and will not compete with them for territory.

The bold guy named Zhao Yinze can be put aside for the time being.

What they didn't know was that Liu Hao had already led a group of people to blast the mountain with gunpowder and build a tunnel.

When the construction of the tunnel is completed, it will be time for the Yizhou army to leave Shu.

At that time, the war situation in the Central Plains should have been in chaos.

The Yizhou Army just took advantage.

But this time is the best opportunity for Yizhou to recuperate and build infrastructure to increase its strength.

Although there was a war, it did not affect the sales of fireworks.

Those powerful people only care about their own enjoyment and don't care about the life or death of others.

In addition to fireworks sales, Yizhou also started selling salt.

The quality of these salts is ten times stronger than coarse salt, comparable to the fine salt eaten by the rich, but the price is five times cheaper than coarse salt, and ordinary people can afford it.

The people went crazy and the merchants went crazy.

Merchants grabbed the salt and transported it to other state capitals to sell it at the same price as fine salt. The huge profits therein were astronomical.

In this way, businessmen make money, but people in other state capitals cannot enjoy the salt of evaluation. Fortunately, Zhao Tiangang and Zhang Ruonan had anticipated this. They formed a caravan and asked the caravan to carry salt to other state capitals for sale.

People in other state capitals were finally able to eat low-priced salt, and they went to caravans in Yizhou to buy it.

Other merchants had to lower the price of salt. Although it could not be reduced to the same level as the Yizhou caravan, and it was still higher than the price of coarse salt, it still satisfied the people.

People began to go to other merchants to sell salt.

After all, there are only a few Yizhou caravans, how much salt can they bring?
  It is far from meeting the needs of people all over the world.

People can buy good salt at the same price as coarse salt.

Good salt contains less impurities, and a little less is enough for a family to eat.

It saves a lot to use other than kosher salt.

One pound of coarse salt can only be used by a family for three months.

If the salt is good, it can last for half a year.

The people were very satisfied.

Other caravans made small profits but quick turnover, but they also made a lot of money.

This wave benefits all three parties.

And the fireworks also spread to Jingzhou.

When she saw the fireworks, Tan Shiyu knew that they were the work of another time traveler.

She thought of explosives from fireworks.

If there was a big killer like explosives, wouldn't the Jingzhou Army be invincible in the war?
  However, Tan Shiyu, a liberal arts student, had no idea how to make explosives.

Having read time travel novels, she knew that explosives were made from charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur.

But she doesn’t know how to match them specifically!
  She didn't know what other materials would be added to it.

There is no use leaving it to the craftsmen below to study.

Tan Shiyu found Gongsun Yanyu.

"Explosives?"

Tan Shiyu nodded.

She described the use and power of explosives to Gongsun Yanyu.

Gongsun Yanyu was very excited after hearing this, and immediately asked another craftsman to study fireworks, hoping to develop explosives from fireworks.

But explosives are not that easy to research.

Tan Shiyu then asked Gongsun Yanyu to find the person who developed the fireworks and bring him to Jingzhou.

Gongsun Yanyu: "I will send someone to Yizhou right now."

As a young and promising master of the feudal town, Gongsun Yanyu has many capable people who are optimistic about him, and he has many capable people under his command.

He sent a few people who were good at inquiring about information and had good skills to go to Yizhou to find the developers of fireworks, and then "well invite" the people to Jingzhou.

These people received orders and sneaked into Yizhou disguised as businessmen.

After arriving in Yizhou, they were shocked by its prosperity.

Is this Yizhou? !
  This place is actually more prosperous than Jingzhou and Beijing!

Entering Yizhou, all you see along the way are golden fields, where the crops are about to be harvested.

Such a scene is rarely seen in other state capitals, even Jingzhou.

The faces of the people in Yizhou are full of hope for life, unlike the people in other state capitals whose faces are full of numbness and despair.

This is a vibrant state capital, the paradise Tan Shiyu once mentioned.

One or two spies were shaken.

They were optimistic about Gongsun Yanyu's prospects and took refuge in him, but now, they feel that the leader of Yizhou, Zhao Yinze, seems to be more suitable for their choice of leader.

The other people were from Jingzhou and were Gongsun Yanyu's confidants.

They were not swayed by the prosperity of Yizhou, and they wanted to find out about the inventor of fireworks and take him away.
