Crazy Concubine is very sturdy

Chapter 162: In the middle of the night, I shed tears at the moon (1)
Especially sulfur, which is a mineral deposit accompanied by volcanic eruptions. Even in modern volcanic eruptions, it represents absolute destruction, let alone this backward world. If you want to come to this mountain, it should be an extinct volcano. It erupted and produced a lot of sulfur.

However, with the passage of time, this place has gradually changed to what it is now, and even the villages that moved here later thought that poisoning was the curse of the mountain god.

There was a gleam in her eyes, and she tilted her head and joked, "So, you spent a lot of money on those two fireworks you prepared?"

After a moment of embarrassment, Zhan Beilie suddenly became proud, held his head high, and said loudly, "Of course!"

Speaking of this, the six of them held back their laughter and shook their shoulders. In order to please the little princess, the prince almost used up all the sulfur stored in the palace, and how many craftsmen rushed to make the fireworks overnight.

Even the always gentle emperor almost jumped his feet, squinted his eyes, and even told the prince to take his wife back to the border, calling him a "prodigal bastard".

Mr. Mo Xuan was so painful that he didn't sleep well for several nights. Every day he took a small abacus and "cracked" in front of the prince, looked at the prince with sad eyes, and kept saying "it's not worth it".

Zhan Beilie was not ashamed but proud, grinning the corners of his mouth, showing two rows of bright white teeth, and said cheerfully: "Daughter-in-law, if you like fireworks, let's take these back and let them go for you every day!"

The six people looked at the large area of ​​mines, and then at Zhan Beilie's bold and frightened expression, and they all smacked their lips. They really are prodigals, prodigals!
Although she really didn't like these flashy things very much, but seeing Zhan Beilie's expectant expression of asking for credit, Leng Xia really didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so she twitched the corners of her mouth and immediately changed the subject: "Then Are these things just used to make fireworks?"

Lightning suddenly became excited, blinking his eyes and rubbing his hands, salivating: "Princess, the price of this thing is comparable to gold, although it is not very useful, but it is indispensable in festivals, if it is sold to other four countries, the national treasury will be enriched again." Quite a lot!"

not much use...

Sell ​​to other four countries...

Leng Xia rubbed her forehead with her hand, and looked at the other people with the same expression, looking at her with extremely expectant little eyes, extremely excited, that means: selling sulfur to other countries will definitely earn a lot of military expenses , little princess, you won't agree with the prince to make these things into fireworks, right?
Only Zhan Beilie was still hesitating between "pleasing his wife" and "enriching the national treasury", his brows were knit into a knot.

She sighed helplessly, her eyes turned to the large piece of sulfur, a proud gleam flashed in her phoenix eyes, the corner of her lips curled up, and said: "I have great use for this!"

Zhan Beilie loosened his tightly wrinkled brows, and raised his eyebrows. He knew Leng Xia, and he would never aim at it indiscriminately. If it was of great use, then there must be some uses that he didn't know about, but she knew very well.

Moreover, the lioness never exaggerates when she speaks, saying that it is very useful, and this "big" is worth pondering.

Zhong Cang and the other six were extremely puzzled, their expressions of excitement suddenly weakened, and the six faces became a ball of pain. Could it be that the little princess really likes watching fireworks?
Leng Xia didn't explain it either, if it was said that sulfur had other functions besides making fireworks, they might not believe it, it would be more convincing to wait until the thing was made and show them the effect directly.

"Mu Tian stays to guard the mine, and Mu Yang returns to Chang'an to report and bring people to dig the mine. The plan of the others remains unchanged, and they will leave for Chijiang tomorrow morning." She pondered for a while, and directly ordered: "Collect well Send part of the sulfur back to Chang'an, and part directly to the Chijiang military camp, and then gather twenty skilled craftsmen who make fireworks and firecrackers to go to the military camp together."

The six people looked up at the sky together, did the little princess really want to make fireworks?
Mutian and Muyang's eyelids twitched wildly, wanting to cry but no tears.

They can already foresee that if they go back to the palace and report this matter to the emperor, they will definitely be punished to death by the black-bellied emperor. He was strangled alive.

Glancing at Zhan Beilie's expression, and seeing his expression of "whatever the princess says is right or wrong", the two of them were completely powerless, so they could only answer loudly: "Yes!"

Lord!Where did your brilliance go!

Leng Xia nodded, and under the eyes of the six people with infinite resentment, she looked at the sulfur mine in front of her with satisfaction, and she couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation, finally having the opportunity to show her talents and skills in her profession.

Everyone walked towards the outside of the mountain. Suddenly, Leng Xia paused and instructed: "People who dig mines should not look for ordinary people, they should be strong and capable, and they should be fully protected before coming back."

They are all of extraordinary skill, and now they only stay here for an hour and a half, so there is no problem, but if they go deep into the mine for a long time, they will be easily poisoned.

In fact, the toxicity of sulfur itself is not high, and it is usually highly toxic when it is burned and when it meets water.

But the ordinary villagers are all powerless people, and they don't have kung fu, so their resistance to poison is naturally extremely low.

Moreover, such a large piece of mineral deposits, no matter how low the toxicity is, accumulates hundreds of thousands, and it becomes highly poisonous. Fortunately, the villagers here think that this is a crime from the mountain god, and they never dare to go deep into this back mountain. No catastrophe has been caused, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Back in the village, it was already late at night.

The air after the rain is exceptionally fresh, a crescent moon hangs high in the night sky, and the misty night shrouds the quiet village, which is peaceful.

In the room, Zhan Beilie lit a dim oil lamp, lay on the bed with Leng Xia in his arms, patted her softly like a child, and asked in a low voice, "What's the use of that sulfur?"

He knew that the lioness definitely didn't want to make fireworks, but he was also very curious, what else could those craftsmen do besides making fireworks?
Leng Xia tilted her head, looked at his shining eyes under the dim light, looked like a curious baby, smiled slightly, and explained her thoughts to Zhan Beilie.
