after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 1028 Gunpowder
Chapter 1028 Gunpowder
The moon was full during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After worshiping the moon, Lin Yuesha leaned against Qi Heng's side, and the couple drank tea and admired the moon.

In the full moon, there is a circle of light and shadow, as if there is really a beautiful woman Chang'e holding the jade rabbit.

The moon is also so round in modern times. If you are lucky, you can still catch up with the super moon day. However, Lin Yuesha has been busy and has no time to enjoy the scenery.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and brought a refreshing fragrance of flowers. Lin Yuesha closed her eyes, felt the cool breeze, and calmed down again.

"Lord."

Not far away, a man in black knelt on one knee and reported the information he had received.

Miaoyin's plan was successfully completed, Yu Wenkun was furious, and took over the Bai family, except for Bai Youran who had already left the Bai family and stayed in the northwest, there was no one left.

The Bai family was ambitious and tried their best, but died so suddenly.

The city lords of the other cities have not received the news, and if they know, they will definitely attack Sishui City.

Our own side is making trouble, and the barbarians themselves are in chaos first.

"Prefect Bai once promised to send gold and silver items to several cities, and only let those city owners taste a little bit of sweetness. Now that Yu Wenkun has killed all the Bai family members, it is bound to cause misunderstanding."

Those city lords thought that Yu Wenkun was monopolizing the Bai family's money, so they gathered together to ask Yu Wenkun for an explanation.

"Where is the money of the Bai family?"

Compared with the life and death of the Bai family, Lin Yuesha cared more about the hidden gold and silver.

The prefect of Bai once greedy for money to repair the city wall, at least 10,000+ taels.

Lin Yuesha couldn't help clicking her tongue when she learned about it, how courageous she is!
Not only that, but the prefect Bai raised a lot of private soldiers in the north, and he had long planned to rebel.

"The silver is hidden very deep, and no one has found it."

Maybe there is, maybe it's a blank check, but Qi Heng knows a little about the Bai family, and the Bai family must have left their hole cards.

The city lords of the other barbarian cities have long been dissatisfied with Yu Wenkun, and if they attack together now, it will be enough for Yu Wenkun to have a headache.

Qi Heng used the wonderful sound to temporarily solve the problem and buy time for Bei Di to cultivate his health and rest.

The Wei family had nothing to fear, and Qi Heng focused on the defense and the dock.

Make every effort to build big ships as soon as possible and open the road to the sea as soon as possible.

Lin Yuesha thought that the war was fought with flesh and blood by both sides, but unexpectedly, they could take advantage of loopholes.

"Soldiers never tire of deceit. If you rely on soldiers to fight, how can the physical strength of the Qi army surpass the barbarians?"

No matter how much the soldiers are trained, the soldiers of Daqi still have shortcomings in physical strength, so they rely on their brains and weapons.

Qi Heng has already sent people to conduct experiments in the deep mountains, mixing saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal in a certain proportion to make powerful gunpowder.

If gunpowder is in hand, whether it is Surabaya City or a foreign race, they have to behave with their tails between their legs.

Qi Heng does not plan to expand the territory for the time being, but focuses on building roads.

Daqi's official roads have been built for decades, but they are still very tight and narrow, and there are mountains blocking them. Passing through a city has to climb mountains and ridges, and it is extremely inconvenient for traveling merchants to come and go.

If we can blow up the hills and flatten the road, build a straight road and shorten the distance from north to south, it will definitely be a great event that will benefit the people.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, news came from Sishui City that Yu Wenkun rushed to the crown and annihilated the Bai family.

Miaoyin listened to Li Ruoshuang's opinion, played hard to catch, and played a cold war with Yu Wenkun, and the relationship between the two was closer than before.

The day before Lin Yuesha was about to set off to respond to the city, Qi Heng got news from his subordinates that they had prepared a certain proportion of powerful gunpowder and blasted a small hill.

Going south from the north, there is a mountainous area that can only accommodate two carriages. If the mountain is blocked by heavy snow in winter, this road is often blocked.

The merchants who come and go have to wait in the surrounding area, ranging from a few days to more than ten days, all relying on the government to send people to clear the snow.

If the rocks are blasted to build roads, the travel between the two cities will become more convenient.

"Miss, do you want to watch the gunpowder test?"

Qi Heng is a person who does big things, and he does things quietly. He has sent people to prepare enough gunpowder to blow up the rocks several times.

Catch up with the auspicious day of the zodiac, and start construction when the auspicious time is selected.

"Want to see."

Lin Yuesha was a little unbelievable, Zhongqiuye Qiheng mentioned that she thought it was just the beginning, but she didn't expect to get the proportions right so quickly, the movements were too fast.

However, since it was the first time to blow up the mountain to clear the way, it is better to be cautious.

Lin Yuesha remembered that there was a small village called Kaoshan Village near the mountain. She passed by when she went to Beijing, and she also met villagers selling steamed buns and other things to passers-by.

The villagers live close to the mountains. Once the rocks roll down, the houses of the villagers will be damaged, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to live in them.

Before blowing up the mountain, the villagers had to be evacuated to a safe place.

"That's the problem."

Qi Heng sent his men to the village to negotiate, and if the villagers were willing to move out of here in advance, he was willing to provide generous compensation.

As a result, when the subordinates went to the village to talk about it, they were collectively boycotted by the villagers. Not only that, they were also thrown out of the village by angry villagers.

These are unarmed people, their ancestors lived on the edge of the mountain, their homeland is hard to leave, Qi Heng understands.

However, it's all about understanding. He has to dig out the rocks here, so that in the future, the Northwest Army will be able to pass through smoothly when they come to the Northland to change their defenses.

Qi Heng is optimistic about the location of the village and wants to build a post station here.

"That is to say, it must be dismantled."

Lin Yuesha wondered, "If someone wants to blow up the hills of Chenjia Village, the villagers are not willing to leave. It's not just something that can be paid with money."

The ancestors lived in the village, and the ancestral halls and ancestral graves were there. Exploding mountains and opening rocks disturbed the peace of the ancestors. Moreover, the graves had to be moved before the villagers moved out.

The people of Daqi are very fond of Fengshui, no wonder the villagers throw out those who go to lobby.

Just imagine, your side is not only going to blow up mountains, but also blowing up other people's graves. The villagers don't just throw people out, which is polite enough.

"Is there a good way, my lady?"

The money Qi Heng gave was enough for each of their families to buy a good yard in the city, and he thought that the villagers were not treated badly.

Obviously, the villagers don't think so.

"Husband, let's take a look first."

There is no problem that cannot be solved, it just depends on whether you can use the right method.

The people sent there don't understand the needs of the villagers, so they talk about money when they come up, which is not advisable.

What Lin Yuesha meant was that she would go there to deal with the villagers and hear what the villagers thought.

Qi Heng had something important to do and couldn't leave. After Xu Da and Wu Ya heard about it, they insisted on going together.

The three of them rode in two carriages and went straight to Kaoshan Village.

The carriage drove for a whole day, until the sun was westward, and a group of people arrived at the place.

"There is a gap between the two mountains, no wonder the major general wants to blow up the mountain."

Xu Da didn't pay attention when he came, but now it's late in the evening, the caravan passing through the Northland is walking on the small road among the rocks, and it took a quarter of an hour before the caravan went smoothly.
