The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 100 Xuan Paper (Part [-])
"It can not only run, but also carry people and goods. If it is made with three wheels and a cart is added at the back, it can hold a lot of things." Su Tang suddenly thought, if some tricycles are made, how can they be used in the village? Isn't it more convenient than a cart and carriage?

"Since the village owner agrees, we will do whatever we can." The two blacksmiths nodded.

When Su Tang walked away, he could still hear their two doubtful voices, "Are you really not going to fall?"

Su Tang turned a corner and went to be in charge of the accountant of the gunpowder workshop, and asked them to remember Shi Tiechui's salary increase, otherwise she would tell people that the salary was raised, but it didn't increase when the salary was paid, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

Then she went to the paper workshop. She asked Rong Jin to make some paper tubes, big and small, to make fireworks. New Year's Eve will be celebrated in a month or so, so hurry up and try to make this Spring Festival more lively Some.

It’s just that if you want to make colorful fireworks, you also need metal powder. When metal powder is mixed with gunpowder and explodes when heated, it will be the colorful fireworks we see.

There are not many types of metal here. Even if there is metal powder that can be used, if the fireworks are not specially treated, the powder produced after the explosion will be inhaled into the body, which is not good for people.

"Metal powder is cheap. You only need [-] reputation points to provide you with the amount you need this Spring Festival." When the system heard that there was a business coming, it hurriedly said.

"Fifty, how much metal powder can be used for the fireworks set off in Fufengzhai?" Su Tang saw through the profiteer System at a glance.

"Eighty, no less."

"Forty! Actually, I think it's pretty good even if there are only white fireworks, and it's not something important." Su Tang put on an attitude that I should buy it or not depending on my mood.

"Then fifty."

"It's thirty o'clock now." Su Tang smiled.

".deal." If the system had teeth, it would be grinding.

Walking into the paper workshop, the people inside were sorting and packing the paper. Su Tang was very surprised when he saw the stacks of snow-white paper.

"This is rice paper. Have you made the rice paper?" Su Tang picked up a piece of rice paper and looked at it in his hand.

Before Su Tang brought the batch of rice paper made by Yingyue and Rongjin, one of the crafts required a long period of exposure to the sun and rain to make the paper turn white.

Because it took too long to wait, it was changed to ordinary paper. Every process of rice paper is very particular. Even the bamboo curtains for the final papermaking must be made of bitter bamboo with straight texture and long joints. Unexpectedly, she She remembered what she had told Rongjin before.

"This was made when Miss Rong Jin came back, but this batch is not many, only [-] sheets, and the newly prepared materials will not be available until next year." The man who spoke was the manager of the paper mill, and Rong Jin was not there. When it's time, he's the one who takes care of everything.

It should be that Rong Jin made the batch of materials they made, and if they want to make new ones, they have to wait to slowly expose them to the rain and sun.

Su Tang held the white and tough rice paper in his hand, the quality can fully meet the standard for supplying the royal family.

Fortunately, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It will take a long time for the news here to reach the capital, otherwise the things she made will definitely make people jealous.

What she needs to do now is to strengthen Yanyang City and Fufeng Village as soon as possible before the royal family notices her.

Otherwise, it would be no fun if the results of her hard work for so long were handed over to the royal family on random charges.

"Have you made the paper tube?" Su Tang put down the rice paper in his hand and asked the steward.

"It's done." The manager hurriedly had two boxes brought over, and when he opened it, he found that there were long and short paper tubes stacked together.

It looks solid when pinched, so it should be ok.

"Just ask someone to deliver these two boxes to the gate of Gunpowder Workshop."

Su Tang walked out of the paper mill absent-mindedly and almost tripped over a stone on the ground. Yingyue followed Su Tang and asked curiously, "Master, why do you suddenly seem preoccupied?"

"Yingyue, what do you think will happen if all the news about our place is known by the capital?" Su Tang thought more and more wrong since he realized this just now.

It is not the bandits that are really difficult to deal with, but the royal family!

Yingyue frowned and thought about it, "Now that Leng'an has been fighting for years and the treasury is empty, first of all, it will definitely need high-yield seeds to expand planting, and second, it will focus on treasures such as colored porcelain and glass, hoping to sell them to other countries through these two. The silver came back to fill the treasury."

Yingyue was stunned when she said this, and then she realized, "If you say that, aren't we in danger?"

"According to the character of the current emperor, maybe he won't take it hard, but he will definitely not make it easier for us. After all, the country is fighting and there are too many places that need money and food. If those few superiors are allowed, it will be even more difficult."

"That's over, we can still fight against the bandits, and we have almost no power to fight back against the royal family." Yingyue felt panicked.

Su Tang comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it will take a few months for the military situation at the border to be rushed to the capital. Our news will be sent back slowly by those itinerant businessmen. It will take a year or two. Who knows what will happen in a year or two? It’s not without effort.”

I hope God will bless you.

Walking to the training camp, Su Tang watched as Wu Chong was training those Shence troops. The current formation was more uniform than before. Those lazy villagers before finally had the fortitude that soldiers should have.

The flintlock guns are still unaffordable, and the Shence Army is not enough to only be equipped with grenades. It seems that they need to upgrade their equipment.

"Village Master, why are you here?" Wu Chong saw Su Tang, who was standing outside watching, run out.

"I want to make some fireworks, and I need your help." Su Tang replied.

"Fireworks? What's that?"

"It's a kind of flower that can bloom in the sky." Su Tang explained.

Wu Chong's eyes lit up, "It sounds pretty powerful, what's the use?"

"It's useless except to look good." Su Tang thought about it, and the fireworks really have no other purpose except to look good.

If it was placed in a prosperous age, it must be used by the famous nobles for fun, but it is a pity that they are not so much in the mood to have fun in troubled times.

Ask the system to put down the metal powder, and Su Tang cooperated with the paper tube to explain the principle to Wu Chong, that is, put the gunpowder into the paper tube in layers, seal the two ends with white lime, and then ignite it with a fuse. Inflate, rushing the gunpowder in the upper layer into the sky.

This is roughly the case, mainly because she has seen a lot of fireworks, but she hasn't studied them, and she doesn't know how to make them. Let Wu Chong and the others figure it out for themselves, and they can make it whatever they can.

"These metal powders can be mixed into gunpowder to change the color of fireworks. You can try it." Su Tang handed the things to him, and he didn't care about them. It's best if he can make them, but if he really can't make them. That can't be helped.
