Thanks to Dental Landis for your support! !The boss is the most handsome!
After a hot pot meal, Emperor Wanli's tongue was almost numb from the hot pepper.

In the middle, he also asked several times to add chili oil to the bowl. It seems that the deliciousness of this chili is simply irresistible to foodies.

Empress Dowager Li didn't add more, the spiciness was just right for her, and the food was comfortable and delicious.

After this hot pot meal, the only fly in the ointment is the lack of beer, but the low-alcohol fruit wine of this era is actually not bad.

Even Zhu Changluo took a couple of sips.But he still didn't dare to drink too much. After all, his physical condition didn't allow it. If he drank himself in advance, wouldn't it be a big loss?
After the hot pot banquet was over, the bonfire party outside was almost set up, waiting for the two important guests, Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli, to come.

On a cold winter night, a bunch of enthusiastic bonfires wantonly released their own light and heat under the night, and the atmosphere is really getting better at this moment.

Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli also attended the bonfire party for the first time. The two were full of novelty. Seeing the lively people preparing their own performances, Empress Dowager Li was happy watching it. She really did not expect Xishan Huangzhuang to be so fun .

Empress Dowager Li took Zhu Changluo's little hand and asked, "Grandson, what are you doing?"

Zhu Changluo said: "Grandmother, this is preparing for a bonfire party. The work and life of the workers in Huangzhuang are relatively monotonous on weekdays, so my grandson and everyone brainstormed together to come up with this idea that can let everyone It’s a way for everyone to participate in joy. It is said that this bonfire party is held in some remote areas of Daming, and some ethnic minorities often hold such parties to celebrate festivals or harvests.”

Empress Dowager Li watched the lively crowd singing and dancing around a bonfire. She was gradually infected by the joyful atmosphere and felt that the bonfire party was very interesting.

Emperor Wanli also stretched his head out to look at the lively crowd. He also liked the lively atmosphere. In his opinion, this place is much more fun than the Forbidden City. It has everything and is free. It's really a good place.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian, who was the guest host, came to a high stage in the middle, and he held a simple big iron horn and shouted: "Everyone is at your position, and the party will officially begin after a while."

The crowd dancing around the bonfire began to retreat slowly, and then a few strong and strong laborers brought a wooden frame over, placed it in a place with a slightly higher position and a wide view, and then put it on the wooden frame again. After placing the tables and chairs, they retreated to the side.

At this time, Wang An also came over at the right time and said: "Queen Dowager, Your Highness, the seat has been set up, please move."

Empress Dowager Li said: "Okay, the Ai family will come over here."

Then Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli came to the viewing platform just set up under the guidance of Wang An.

After arriving at this viewing platform, the view is even better.The entire venue of the bonfire party is almost unobstructed.

Then, after Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli sat down, Zhu Changluo told Wang An, "It's starting."

After Wang An received Zhu Changluo's order, he immediately shouted to the prepared actors: "The bonfire party at Xishan Huangzhuang begins!"

Then there was a burst of cheerful drumming, and dozens of temporary guest workers dressed in costumes went to the front of the bonfire and began to dance enthusiastically.

This dance is a bit like prairie dance, with strong and powerful body movements, and the dance is extremely cheerful to the beat of the drum.

Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli were very curious when they saw such a lively dance.This dance was completely different from the court dances usually seen in the Forbidden City. A joyful masculinity directly ignited the enthusiasm of the bonfire party.

The people watching the bonfire party clapped their hands and cheered in unison: "Good!"

Just as the dance was about to end, it was right in front of Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli's viewing platform.

Suddenly, colorful fireworks exploded!

The gorgeous fireworks directly lit up the entire night sky, as if to dispel the severe cold of the winter night.

Both Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky, their eyes shone with unprecedented joy.

When the fireworks cleared, Empress Dowager Li still couldn't calm down with excitement for a long time. She looked at Zhu Changluo beside her, and she really liked him from the bottom of her heart. This grandson is so filial.

Empress Dowager Li said to Zhu Changluo happily: "Good grandson, how did you come up with it?"

Zhu Changluo said: "The grandson has nothing else to do. After arriving in Huangzhuang, he has been thinking about how to make the emperor's grandmother and father happy. So, the grandson has been groping in this Xishan Huangzhuang. Fortunately, Sun'er has a lot of capable people and craftsmen, which is why today's grand bonfire party is possible."

Empress Dowager Li was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she said repeatedly: "Well, well, really good grandson of Aijia."

Then, Empress Dowager Li said to Emperor Wanli who had been watching the show below, "Emperor, how is this son?"

Emperor Wanli said casually: "Of course my son is the best."

Zhu Changluo was happy when he heard this, and the fireworks also cost Zhu Changluo a lot of money.Although it is said that fireworks were invented in the Song Dynasty, gunpowder has always been a contraband, and the checks are very strict, so ordinary people can't touch it at all.

The ability to get these fireworks is still thanks to Sun Xian. Sun Xian is in charge of the East Factory, and the resources in his hands are unprecedentedly rich.Therefore, Zhu Changluo asked Wang An to give him 5000 taels of silver to get such a few fireworks and five gunpowder workers.

However, when he thought of having five gunpowder workers in his hands, Zhu Changluo didn't feel bad anymore.After all, talents are still very important in this era, especially those who understand firearms and can make explosives are even more valuable.

After the five gunpowder workers got their hands, Zhu Changluo directly set up a special place in the depths of the West Mountain. There was no one inhabited within a radius of more than ten miles, which completely guaranteed the secrecy of the gunpowder workers' work.Zhu Changluo asked the gunpowder workers to start developing a new type of flintlock gun according to his requirements, and promised that whoever develops it first will be awarded the title of earl in the future!

The reason why Zhu Changluo is so anxious is also because he knows that in European history, a Frenchman named Mahan invented the flintlock in 1547.

It is now the 15th year of Wanli, that is, 1587, which is 40 years later than the Europeans.Although Bi Maokang, a firearms researcher in the Ming Dynasty, also made a flintlock in 1635, it was nearly 100 years behind others at this time, and in 1635, when the building was about to collapse, the flintlock had no time to show its superiority. up.

Moreover, in order to realize their own rule over the whole country, the later dynasty directly suppressed the development of firearms in China, so that China's warfare methods were still solidified in the era of cold weapons, completely disconnecting China from modern thermal weapon warfare methods.The disaster that will follow after this can be imagined and self-evident.
