Invincible son

Chapter 543 542 [Fireworks are gorgeous]

Of course, Chen Xizhi is not only good at playing tricks and tricks. Pei Yue checked her situation in Lingzhou in those few years, and made a lot of money in just two years. Although this is because she has a group of loyal subordinates, she can roughly see Talent in business.

Perhaps this is the origin of family education, Chen Qingchen uses the art of merchants to help the people, and Chen Xizhi, as her daughter, can more or less inherit some skills in this regard.

Thinking of Chen Xizhi's temperament, Pei Yue couldn't help telling: "Don't let her show up in public, even if you change her name, her personal characteristics can't be concealed, and it will inevitably show her feet over time. Let her stay by your side, about the management of the manor It can let her make suggestions, and save her from being trapped in the house and thinking wildly."

Ye Qi nodded and said: "I understand the sense of proportion here. By the way, just now you said that saltpeter has other effects, but what exactly do you mean?"

The scene of turning water into ice was so miraculous that she could never forget it for a long time.

"You come with me."

Pei Yue smiled mysteriously, leading Ye Qi through the deep passage and continuing to walk in.

Walking to the end of the passage, Pei Yue pushed open a heavy iron door, and the two walked in.

Careful Ye Qi quickly noticed the difference in this big room. The surrounding walls were made of materials she had never seen before. The walls were gray-black, extremely solid and thick, and could feel mottled and hard when touched.

"This thing is called cement. I don't plan to let the world know about it. When the Zhuangzi was built before, Mr. Xi and I made this room ourselves. Others don't know the existence of cement." Pei Yue explained.

Ye Qi is used to the words that the men around her often use that they don't understand. She didn't ask the bottom line, but said with emotion: "The hardness of this cement is amazing. If it is used to build the city wall, those catapults may no longer be useful."

Pei Yue praised: "Madam is really smart. But compared with what I'm going to tell you now, cement is not so powerful."

Ye Qi watched as Pei Yue carefully took out a well-sealed jar from the cabinet next to the wall, and after uncovering it, scooped out a little bit with a clean wooden spoon, only to see a layer of black-gray powder particles on the spoon.

"This is?" she asked softly.

Pei Yue said solemnly: "Black powder."

Ye Qi was startled, and subconsciously asked: "Black powder?"

She has heard of firecrackers since she was very young, and fireworks are also set off in Kyoto around New Year's Day. When she was young, she liked the scenery lit up by fireworks at night.The raw material of firecrackers is gunpowder, but the power of this kind of thing is limited, at most it can only hear a sound, although sometimes it can cause a fire, but it has no greater effect.

Pei Yue recalled a past event, and pondered: "Do you still remember the battle of Qishan Chong?"

Ye Qi nodded.

Pei Yue continued: "Before you came, I led the Zangfeng Guards to chase the Xiwu cavalry into Qishan Chong. It was a long and narrow valley with huge stone barriers on both sides of the entrance. After we entered, there was a sudden explosion at the entrance, and we were bombed. The huge stones that were opened not only blocked our retreat, but also buried dozens of brothers in them. This is Chen Xizhi's handwriting, and it is also the true power of black powder. Compared with the gunpowder used by ordinary craftsmen, the ratio of black powder is more perfect, The power is dozens of times greater."

"How does she know the ratio of black powder?" Ye Qi asked in puzzlement.

Pei Yue shook his head, and said in a complicated tone: "I thought I was the only one who knew this secret. After all, I still underestimated the world. How did Chen Xizhi research this powerful black powder? I don't know the details. This is The reason why I decided to kill her in the first place."

Ye Qi woke up suddenly. If Chen Xizhi secretly planned to use this kind of black powder to blow up the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion into ruins one day, how would she explain to Pei Yue?
Pei Yue noticed that her expression became stern, and said softly: "Don't worry, the raw materials of black powder are difficult to obtain, especially the saltpeter I told you. She only collected the amount once in Lingzhou for so long. It has been used by her in the ambush in Qishanchong. It is very troublesome to collect saltpeter, and she does not have the ability and resources now."

Ye Qi stared intently at the black powder in the wooden spoon, and couldn't help sighing: "This thing is so terrifying, even if ordinary people only get a little bit, they can die together with martial arts masters."

Pei Yue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that she could understand the truth of the changing times in an instant, so he smiled and said: "Black powder is very powerful when used to explode, but there are other more powerful ways."

Ye Qi asked curiously, "For example?"

Pei Yue poured back the black powder in the wooden spoon, and then gestured: "We can make a hollow piece of wood, stuff the prepared gunpowder in, seal one end, and leave a lead wire at the other end. We can ignite the fuse, then throw the wood out, and when the other party is still laughing at you, the wood suddenly explodes, even if it doesn’t kill him, it can scare him to death.”

He said with some excitement: "You can also stuff some iron fragments into the gunpowder, so that it can cause terrifying damage. No matter how powerful a master is, they can't resist this kind of power."

Ye Qi was surprised: "How do you know this?"

Pei Yue smiled and said: "You know that I had no serious business to do before. I spent all day in the small courtyard of Dingguo Mansion, and I couldn't help thinking wildly. After discovering this terrifying gunpowder, I was thinking about how to use it. it."

Ye Qi had a lot of experience, calmed down and thought about it carefully, and found that if what Pei Yue said came true, then Zang Fengwei would be enough to sweep the world.

If the Zang Fengwei each carried more than ten logs, and the thunder roared during the battle, who else in this world could resist?No matter if it was the Western Wu Anyang Dragon Riders, or the Southern Zhou camp, even if it was the Daliang Forbidden Army, no army could block this kind of attack.

Looking at the ever-changing expression on her face, Pei Yue said with a wry smile: "Of course, I can only imagine it now, but I can't actually do it."

Ye Qi didn't care if Pei Yue wanted to rebel, if he really planned to compete in the world, then he would just accompany him, and then said: "There are so many skilled craftsmen in the world, as long as you tell them a general idea, there will always be someone to help you do it."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Only you, sir, and I know the secret of cement, and only you and I know the secret of black powder. This thing is different from honeycomb coal. As long as there is a leak, the emperor will try his best to kill me. In addition , wood is just a metaphor, to really achieve the effect I mentioned, gunpowder alone is not enough, and many materials cannot be made at present.”

Ye Qi sighed lightly: "It's a pity."

Pei Yue was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Although this thing can't be used to kill people yet, it can make more beautiful firecrackers. When we get married, I will definitely show you the most beautiful fireworks in the world."

Ye Qi blinked and asked, "Can sister Zhen'er see it too?"

Pei Yue was full of love words in his throat, looking quite embarrassed.
