Chapter 276 Fireworks Come Out
The establishment of a seaport in Donglai, and Meng Chen also mentioned the matter of making sea salt. After the two things were combined, Mi Zhu had already guessed the purpose of Meng Chen's urgent recruitment of him here.

"My lord's intention is to make sea salt here, and then go through the sea..." Mi Zhu was halfway through, and suddenly realized that he was wrong.

Since sea salt can be transported by sea, the rest of the goods can naturally also be transported by sea.

"Brother Zizhong, the ultimate goal of this Marquis is to build Donglai County into a first-class trading port."

"Trade port!"

Mi Zhu was startled when he heard this, it was the first time he had heard the word "trading port".

Although I don't know if my understanding is correct, Meng Chen's actions will inevitably make Donglai County the second Chang'an in the near future.

"To tell you the truth, Brother Zhong, the Marquis came across the sea from Lelang County this time!"

Now Mi Zhu fell silent, lowered his head and pondered, Meng Chen's words contained too much information, and he, who was born in business, only took a few dozen breaths, and the momentum of his whole body changed.

"Zhu, I will do my best to help the lord realize his grand plan."

"Hahaha, Brother Zizhong, don't overwork yourself, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Zhen'er."

The conversation between the two ended here. Some time ago, Meng Chen promoted the Zhen family to suppress the Mi family to a certain extent, and this time he let Mi Zhu take charge of Donglai's affairs.

This method of adding carrots and sticks is already mastered by Meng Chen!
"This Marquis has a new way to make sea salt, brother Zizhong will do it accordingly." After speaking, Meng Chen took out the bomb that he had prepared for a long time.

When receiving the method of making sea salt from Meng Chen, Mi Zhu's hands kept trembling, and he didn't know whether he was nervous or excited. In short, all the changes in his eyes fell into Meng Chen's eyes.

After arranging the things in Donglai, Meng Chen didn't delay any longer, and then went to Linzi to stay for a few days under the escort of Tai Shici and Zang Ba.

"Is Xuan Gao from Taishan County?" During another chat, Meng Chen suddenly asked.

Zang Ba nodded, Taishan County is indeed his hometown, but now it is under the control of Cao Cao.

"If there is a chance in the future, this Marquis will definitely go to Mount Tai to worship the heaven and the earth."

Meng Chen's words, intentionally or unintentionally, confided his heartfelt voice, all those who can worship the heaven and the earth on the top of Mount Tai are all nine-five-year-olds.

But it was also this sentence that made Tibetan Ba ​​start secret preparations in the days to come. Once the war with Cao Cao started, he would definitely seize Taishan County as soon as possible.

As the heat began to subside, Meng Chen, who had been away for nearly four months, embarked on the journey back.

Although the princes of the world have lived in peace in the past few years, judging from the information collected by Anbu, this tranquility is only temporary.

At the very least, Liu Bei has already had strong members joining, and Meng Chen has to pay attention to Zhuge Liang's name!

"Shi Yuan, how is the business with Cao Cao?" When Meng Chen arrived in Sili, Pang Tong, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared.

"Report to the lord, Tong, using this transaction to earn a lot of grain and iron ore."

Meng Chen smiled, Cao Cao spared no expense in order to get these horses, but fortunately, Pang Tong was operating in the dark, Hu Chuquan also took the opportunity to open his mouth and bought the slave horses in his hands for a good price.

Afterwards, knowing that Hu Chuquan made a move, Cao Cao could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

War horses are really important to Cao Cao, even slave horses are better than none!
When Meng Chen returned to Chang'an, it was already a refreshing autumn.

Along the way, the joy of the people after the harvest can be seen everywhere.

What pleased Meng Chen the most was that Ma Jun made the fireworks.

Although there are not as many colors as later generations, it is enough.

However, when Meng Chen saw Ma Jun again after a few months, he found something strange.

"Deheng, your eyebrows..." Before Meng Chen finished speaking, he burst out laughing.

"Uh……"

That day and night, ten miles to the north of Chang'an City, Meng Chen and his subordinates stood silently waiting.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and a small spot of light rose into the air with a whistling sound.

Not long after, there was another loud noise, and many dazzling stars suddenly appeared in the dark night sky.

"It's done!" Meng Chen said with a smile.

After several months of testing and sacrificing Ma Jun's eyebrows, Fireworks finally succeeded.

But at this moment, the group of people standing beside Meng Chen were not calm anymore.

"Master, what is this? Could it be that this is what made Ma Jun lose his eyebrows?" It was Chen Yaojin who spoke, who had a strong interest in that thing just now.

"What do the military advisers think?" Meng Chen didn't answer, but asked Liu Bowen.

"This thing sounds like thunder, but I don't know how powerful it is? If it is within a hundred steps, it may hurt people's heart." Liu Bowen's first reaction was to hook it with the weapon.

"What does Mr. Wen He think?"

"Xu, I agree with what the military division said."

Seeing that his two confidantes thought so, the rest of the generals didn't ask any more questions.

"This is a firework, just for viewing." As soon as Meng Chen said this, more thunder came from not far away.

For a while, whistles and thunder sounded continuously, and beautiful flowers bloomed in the night sky soon.

In order to let Ma Jun practice his skills, Meng Chen had no choice but to do it. After all, gunpowder is too dangerous.

Moreover, the current output of gunpowder is very low, which cannot meet military use at all.

Besides, with the fireworks, the common people have another entertainment program.

However, fireworks are not for sale. Once the gunpowder formula leaks out, Meng Chen's loss will not be 01:30 points.

"This year's year-end celebration, the Marquis will watch the fireworks show with the common people. But before that, you need to keep it a secret."

"Here!"

As the end of another year approached, the General's Mansion suddenly issued a decree, that is, today's emperor and the general should have fun with the people.

As for how to play, the decree did not say, but it gave a precise time and place.

At this point, the people of Chang'an began to erupt. It is rare for the emperor to share the joy with the people.

However, this decree was too busy for Ma Jun!

It is necessary to keep secrets and expand production. During this period of time, Ma Jun can't wait to divide himself into several halves.

"Deheng, busy is busy, but also pay attention to rest."

Looking at Ma Jun who has lost a lot of weight in the busy schedule, Meng Chen felt guilty.

This situation and the situation just corresponded to the old saying, "Talk from the top, break your legs from the bottom"!
Fortunately, Ma Jun has a group of capable craftsmen who finally completed all the preparations the day before the stipulated date.

On New Year's Eve, Chang'an West City became crowded due to the arrival of the emperor of the Han Dynasty and Meng Chen.

"Meng Aiqing, what is a firework show?" The fake emperor asked.

"Your Majesty may not be able to understand what I said. You can watch it carefully later!" Meng Chen replied, then turned his head and nodded to Meng Shan.
