Journey to the West Tiger Demon, mortals urge me to ascend the throne

Chapter 115 The Current Situation of Xuanyang City, Chemistry

Xuanyang City.

A small town with a capacity of more than 2 people and 6000 people living there.

There are slums, courtyard areas where the rich live, and small courtyards where the middle class lives.

But more of them are shops that integrate shops and accommodation.

The middle-class people who have shops or set up shops to do business, their daily life is to open a shop in the morning and finish work in the evening.

The people in the slums go to these shops to work, or they set up street stalls on the street, selling candied haws and so on.

Rich people inspect their businesses on a daily basis. In their free time, they play with birds, listen to books in teahouses, go shopping in kilns, listen to music in Goulan and so on.

Of course, there are also some princes and brothers who meet to go hunting on horseback.

In addition to various gambling stalls, kilns, and hook bars, the rest of the gang business is to trade with caravans from other places, or to give local information to other countries.

Since Chechi State is the main point of the Silk Road in the Central Plains, there are particularly many caravans coming to the surrounding towns of Chechi State.

Not just caravans from the Central Plains.

There are also caravans of Baoxiang Kingdom, Wuji Kingdom, Daughter Kingdom, and Chechi Kingdom themselves.

It can be said that before Zhao Lei and other monsters took over here, Xuanyang City would be very prosperous and lively every day.

It's a bit like a small town dedicated to tourists and tourists.

After Zhao Lei and other monsters took over here, at the beginning, the entire Xuanyang City became very deserted, and the quality of life of ordinary people also dropped a lot.

It is mainly a lot of commodities, seasonings and other daily necessities that Xuanyang City buys from caravans from other countries.

After these caravans dared not come to Xuanyang City, the daily necessities became less and less, and the quality of life inevitably began to decline.

After taking over for a period of time, Li Jincheng sent caravans to other towns to buy, which kept the quality of life at the same level as before.

Then when Zhao Lei left the customs, Zhao Lei sent the little demon to 'invite' the passing caravan to Xuanyang City.

These caravans saw that the monsters not only didn't hurt them, but also offered to help them load and unload the goods, so they slowly let go of their vigilance.

After that, monsters became the unique style of Xuanyang City.

There are more and more caravans and tourists who dare to come to Xuanyang City.

Only then did Xuanyang City return to its former prosperity and excitement.

No, it should be said that it is more prosperous than before.

Because monsters have become the signature of Xuanyang City.

If it weren't for the absence of cameras in this era, maybe everyone would still rush to take photos with these monsters.

Therefore, the lives of ordinary people living in Xuanyang City are basically the same as before.The only difference is...

They're more like a big family these days.

Zhao Lei stipulated that the entire Xuanyang City should read and write together. In modern times, it is to gather the adults of the entire building together and go to the big group building together. This will undoubtedly promote everyone's feelings and interactions.

Even if there were occasional quarrels, due to the existence of Zhao Lei, the Tiger King, at most they would be small and harmless.

There is also a more important point because of Zhao Lei's casualness.

What Zhao Lei pays attention to is applying what he has learned, being pragmatic and practical.

Xuanyang City didn't have enough space to accommodate students, so Zhao Lei ordered everyone to hold classes in Yamen.If an ordinary magistrate did this, he would definitely be sprayed to death by those older scholars.

But who is Zhao Lei?
He does not abide by tradition, who dares to scold him?

So, Zhao Lei liked it, so he took classes in Yamen.

I was happy, so I went to a courtyard that was vacant outside the staff to do extracurricular activities. Moreover, this opportunity to provide a place to attend classes was only won by these staff scrambling.

Because Zhao Lei will advertise their business by the way, and when tourists and caravans come to Xuanyang City, he will order the little demons to give priority to introducing the business of these rich people who have contributed to Xuanyang City.

Generally speaking, it is a happy and prosperous scene.

Today is another day of extracurricular activities.

But this time, Zhao Lei didn't choose to take everyone to the yamen, or the courtyard in the city, but took everyone near the gate of the city.

Many people pass by and take a second look.

Of course, Zhao Lei didn't do this for eyeballs.

But after he ordered people to collect zinc, tin, lead copper, silver, gold... and other metal substances that can make electricity a while ago, he finally made new progress!
Although he hasn't collected all the metal substances that make electricity, but in the process of collecting them, he tinkered with an interesting thing, that is, black gunpowder!
In order to develop the common people's spirit of exploring new things, Zhao Lei specially asked everyone to come to the open space outside the city gate today to conduct an experiment.

Soon, the staff was almost all there, and a kid from a rich family couldn't help asking: "Hey hey, Tiger King, is there anything interesting to play today?"

I have to say that since Zhao Lei started teaching.

These wealthy children who usually have nothing to do are even more enthusiastic.

Because Zhao Lei taught them interesting knowledge and extracurricular activities, which are much more interesting than playing with birds and fighting crickets.

Zhao Lei said inscrutablely: "Don't worry, you will find out later."

Not long after, someone moved a table and placed it next to Zhao Lei.

And put sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter on the table.

Zhao Lei came to the back of the table and said to everyone, "Today I'm going to teach you chemistry!"

"Chemical?"

Everyone is confused, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what their Tiger King is talking about.

Even those caravans passing by who wanted to gossip couldn't help but stop, wanting to see what chemistry is.

Zhao Lei introduced with a smile: "Chemistry is that when you fuse different substances and different doses together, they are likely to produce different effects. For example, these three items on the table."

"Sulphur, do you know that?"

Everyone nodded.

"Charcoal, you know that?"

Everyone nodded again.

"This is called saltpeter. Not many people know about it, but it doesn't matter. It's not the focus of today. Today I mainly want to show everyone what changes will happen when these three substances are fused together."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lei began to make black powder in front of everyone.

Everyone is still confused.

Why did Tiger King make this pile of dark things?
It didn't take long for the black powder to be ready.

And put a certain amount on the ground.

For this kind of novelty, the children of the rich family are very studious and active: "Tiger King, what is the use of this thing?"

At the same time, I thought to myself, is the so-called chemistry a matter of mashing and stirring several different things together to turn them into something black and not slick?
Zhao Lei smiled slightly.

Then he picked up a piece of paper, used the electric chapter in the Five Thunders Rectification Method, released a little current, ignited the paper, and then threw it on the pile of black powder on the ground.

The moment the flame touched the black powder, the black powder immediately hissed and burst into flames.

Immediately, everyone present was startled.

Tiger King can play with fire, which they can understand.

But such a small flame, after touching that dark mass, how could the flame suddenly explode so strongly?

The kid from the rich family was stunned and stammered, "King Tiger, this... is this a spell?"

Zhao Lei waved at the rich boy and said with a smile, "This is not magic, you can come and try it."

The rich kid subconsciously walked over.

Then Zhao Lei made another pile of black powder and placed it on the ground.

And after igniting a piece of paper, he handed the paper to the children of the rich family.

The rich boy took the lit paper.

Step by step, walk carefully towards the black powder.

Because he walked too slowly, the flames were almost scalding his hands, so he quickly threw the paper away, and then his whole body bounced back.

sizzle! !

The same scene happened again.

This shocked everyone present, including those caravans who stopped to eat melons!
This time they actually saw it!
The flame was thrown down by that rich kid himself!

Could it be that this so-called chemistry is a science that allows mortals like them to cast spells? !

Zhao Lei ignored everyone's shock, and continued to explain: "Everyone has seen it? What I handed him was just an ordinary flame. That is to say, no matter who has mastered this knowledge, they can create flames. Such an effect."

Whoa-!
In an instant, the audience was in an uproar!
Spell!
Mortals can also cast spells!

Immediately afterwards, people in the crowd raised their hands excitedly and said, "Tiger King, can I try it too?"

"Tiger King, can we try it too?"

Zhao Lei reassured everyone: "All right, all right, but there are not enough materials prepared today, so everyone can only test in groups."

Next, a group of middle-aged and elderly people conducted a black powder experiment together.

There are successes and there are failures.

Everyone was very excited.

Not long after, the kid from the rich family, who finally recovered from his excitement, suddenly asked: "King Tiger, this thing is fun to play with, but what is it for?"

Zhao Lei looked around.

Just at this time, Yang Yang and several bear children from Lijia Village came out of the city with candied haws.

Zhao Lei grinned and waved to Yangyang: "Yangyang, come here~"

A few brats jumped up and down in front of Zhao Lei, licking candied haws: "My lord~"

"Your Majesty is playing a game with you. Can you see a pile of cow dung over there?"

The bear kids nodded.

"You buried this thing in cow dung. Then lit it with fire, and after counting to three times, turned around and ran away, do you understand?"

"Oh!"

Then I saw Yang Yang took the small gunpowder bag made by Zhao Lei, and ran towards the pile of cow dung in a bouncing manner.Bury gunpowder in cow dung.

The bear boy partner held a small fire stick and lit it.

"One, two, three, run~~"

boom!
Full of shit.

Da da da da da, smashed the bear children all over their bodies.

Then I only heard the king's hearty laughter from behind: "Hahahahahahaha!"

Yang Yang: ...

bad boy:……
