Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Chapter 73 Really?I do not believe

Create more powerful gunpowder?

Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment after hearing Mei Yin's words.

Mei Yin said that he could make gunpowder, which did not surprise Li Jinglong.

After all, they, general disciples, can come into contact with these things if they want to.

But Li Jinglong really didn't believe Mei Yin's claim that he could create more powerful gunpowder.

After all, gunpowder has been around for how many years.

It’s not like no one has been researching gunpowder over the years.

But after repeated research, the power of gunpowder has not improved.

Many people even assert that the current gunpowder is the most powerful, and there is no way to improve it.

As a result, now, the second uncle said that he had a way to create more powerful gunpowder. Li Jinglong really didn't believe it.

"Second uncle, if you want to use gunpowder to better open mountains and extract rocks, if the power of gunpowder is only increased a little, it will not have much effect.

It would take quite a bit of improvement to make it cost-effective to do this with gunpowder. "

Li Jinglong reminded him aloud.

Mei Yin said: "It must be a big improvement.

If it's just a little improvement, I won't do it. "

After hearing Mei Yin's words, Li Jinglong felt even less convinced.

In fact, he also knew a lot about gunpowder.

I know that increasing the power of this thing is not that simple.

Although the second uncle's abilities in all aspects that he has shown recently are quite strong.

But Li Jinglong still didn't believe that he could make gunpowder more powerful!

Moreover, this power is not improved by even one star, but a huge improvement.

"Really?"

Mei Yin smiled and said: "That must be true. Can second uncle still deceive you?"

Mei Yin still knows about monosulfide, dinitrate, charcoal, a little white sugar, and granulated gunpowder.

But Li Jinglong still didn't believe it. He always felt that his second uncle was deceiving him...

“Come on, let’s go to the county town to buy these things.

When you come back, you will know whether the second uncle has made empty words! "

Mei Yin excitedly said to Li Jinglong...

……

Two quarters of an hour later, two people, each riding a small donkey, headed towards the county seat...

Li Jinglong sat on the little donkey and felt that no matter how tall he was, his feet could touch the ground.

Mr. Li has never felt so ashamed as he does today.

Thinking of him, Li Jinglong, although he is still young, he has ridden countless horses.

Needless to say, there are many rouge horses on the Qinhuai River.

I also rode a lot of real horses.

No matter how bad the horse is, it is still a horse.

So far, this is my first time riding a donkey.

Who would have thought that he, Li Jinglong, would one day end up like this!

"Second uncle, if not... I'd better go down and walk."

Li Jinglong looked at the little donkey under him and felt too ashamed after all.

"Ride first. When we get to the county town and see if there are suitable horses, we will each buy one."

Mei Yin also felt that riding a donkey was quite shameful, but after all, it was faster and less laborious than walking.

These two little donkeys did not belong to them, but were borrowed from the folks in Shuangshui Village.

"Besides, we are all common people now, isn't it normal to ride a donkey?"

When Li Jinglong heard what Mei Yin said, he felt that it made sense.

Especially when I discovered that there were people walking on the road who looked at them with envy when they saw them riding donkeys, the shame in my heart gradually disappeared, and I began to ride the donkeys with peace of mind.

Even later, he even played tricks on the back of a donkey - riding the donkey upside down!

Mei Yin and Li Jinglong have been visiting the county town a lot recently.

So I am quite familiar with this place.

Soon, he bought the sulfur, charcoal, saltpeter, candies and eggs that Mei Yin needed from various trades. He packed all these things into a bag and hung them on two little donkeys.

This is also the main reason why Mei Yin borrowed a donkey to come to the county town today.

Not to carry people, but to let them carry things.

Otherwise, it would be too hard for him and Li Jinglong to carry these things back.

And the speed of the little donkey is much faster than that of the ox cart.

After doing this, go to the place where livestock is bought and sold to buy horses.

People in Yahang saw that Mei Yin and Li Jinglong were extraordinary, and their clothes were much cleaner and more respectable than ordinary people.

Then we knew that these were two people who really bought horses.

If this business is successful, it will make a lot of profits.

Immediately he introduced it to them with enthusiasm.

Talk about how nice the horses are here.

Any horse can be blown away by him.

It's a pity that both Li Jinglong and Mei Yin's predecessor are both disciples of generals.

It can be said that I have been in contact with horses since I was a child.

Have a clear understanding of the quality of this horse.

The horses the two of them rode in the past, no matter how bad they were, were still far from ordinary horses.

Most of the horses in front of me are pack horses and not very useful.

So after some selection, none of the dozen or so horses caught their eyes.

So I can only give up this idea in the end.

I plan to visit Yingtianfu City in the future.

Go there and buy a horse.

It’s better to have less than too much of this stuff.

"Bah! What the hell! I don't like this, I don't like that either!

I think they are just two poor guys pretending to be rich, here to entertain me!

Do you really think you are princes and nobles?

It's just two mud-legged guys, why are you so particular about buying a horse?

Can you guys afford a really good horse? "

After Mei Yin and Li Jinglong left Yahang, the person who received them not long ago couldn't help but curled his lips and cursed in a low voice.

Full of ridicule...

……

Mei Yin took these things and returned to Li Jinglong's home with Li Jinglong.

He unloaded everything from the donkey and returned the two donkeys.

Mei Yin took out another two pieces to buy two pieces of candy and gave them to the children of this family.

He waved his hand at the aunt who couldn't even say anything, and then returned to Li Jinglong's house to prepare gunpowder.

Mei Yin asked Li Jinglongxing to work together to make saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal into powder.

Use a fine sieve to sift it again.

Then use a scale to weigh them, and mix them evenly together according to strict proportions.

Li Jinglong followed Mei Yin all the way and felt that what his second uncle did was ordinary.

These were no different from the methods he knew of making gunpowder.

But then, what Mei Yin did made Li Jinglong's eyes widen with confusion.

I saw Mei Yin getting some eggs she bought, opening them one by one, and separating the yolks and egg whites.

Put the egg white into the prepared gunpowder and stir it.

Soon, the gunpowder was glued together by Mei Yin and became a ball...

"Second uncle, you...are you making gunpowder?

Wait a minute and you will get some green onions, some salt, and some oil in the pot.

Put this gunpowder in the pot and fry it before eating it, right? ? "

Li Jinglong was really confused by Mei Yin's operations.

He didn't really believe that Mei Yin could produce powerful gunpowder.

Now, after seeing Mei Yin's operations, he didn't believe it even more.

Rather than using more powerful gunpowder, he was more willing to believe that his second uncle was getting food...
