The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Li Yu went back to the cellar and took out two baskets of saltpeter and some sulfur, and asked Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Xu to grind the saltpeter and sulfur separately into powder. Before they were ground, Jixiang and Ruyi came back carrying the wine jar and iron sand.

When they saw Li Yu grinding with his sleeves rolled up, they quickly put down the basket and Jixiang stepped forward, "Madam, please put us down."

Ji Xiang looked at the saltpeter powder that Mrs. Yun and the others had sifted out, and Ruyi asked Li Yu strangely, "Madam, are you doing anything to grind these things?"

Li Yu looked at the two of them and said, "It's very useful. When I prepare the cans and put them in cans, I'll give them to you to try."

Jixiang looked at these things and suddenly realized, "Are you going to use those wine jars to store these things? The corks will not be ready for another two hours!"

After hearing this, Li Yu smiled and said, "It's okay for two hours. Let's get these things done first."

Ji Xiang said with a smile: "I have nothing to do now to help you."

Several people worked hard for a long time before grinding the saltpeter and sulfur into fine pieces. Li Yu took a few women to sift through fine sieves twice before letting Ruyi and Jixiang carry everything to the warehouse and went to the warehouse with a steel scale. Start configuring gunpowder.

Li Yu mixed the saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal ash in proportion, kneaded the raw paper until soft, added gunpowder and wrapped it into a lead and placed it. Then he added some clear oil to the prepared gunpowder to wrap the iron sand inside.

After finishing the work, Li Yu looked at the two of them and solemnly warned them: "These things cannot occupy any open fire, otherwise it will cause immeasurable consequences, and people with ulterior motives cannot know the existence of these things. I'm afraid it will It brought unforeseen disasters to the whole family, do you remember?"

Seeing Li Yu's serious look, the two of them responded solemnly: "Madam, don't worry, we have all remembered it."

Outside the city, the people brought back by Tian Shen's commander arrived at the east gate. The people dragged their families and food into the city one by one. The newly repaired area in the west city was already full of people, and there were more and more people. Having no room to live anymore, Wu Ting first thought of the sealed shops, inns and houses of the Wei family, and said to Zhou Jia: "Sir, we can requisition the houses of the Wei family for the people to stay temporarily."

"Mr. Wu's brain is still good." Zhou Jia responded with a smile, and then asked Liu Yi and the government officials to find the abandoned and empty houses in the city, and had people tear off the seals on the Wei family's shop and inn. Place people inside one by one.

Li Yu took Ji Xiang and Ruyi with a can of prepared bombs and left the city after noon to a hill outside the east city. The two watched Li Yu blow the fire stick and ignite the wooden plug. The lead was thrown out, and there was only a loud bang. Jixiang and Ruyi were startled, and ran over to take a look. A big crater was made where the wine can fell, and the iron sand inside was shot into it. On the tree next to them, the two of them looked at the big pit in stunned silence. After a while, they understood the reason why Li Yu made this thing.

The two of them looked at Li Yu who was slowly walking over, "Madam, do you want to use this firecracker-like thing against Qi Ren?"

Li Yu sighed, "Yes, your master said that after the Qi people broke through Linshan County, they massacred all the people in the city, not even the children. If Yunzhou City cannot be defended, what will happen to the people in the city?" The people will suffer."

Ruyi glanced at Li Yu and said, "Madam, not long after you left, before the city gate closed, Mrs. Gao came to see you. I told her that you were looking for your husband. I thought she still didn't believe it. Early the next morning She went out of the city to Kyoto with the salute. There are also the old lady of the Wang family and others. I heard that Lin is still imprisoned in the Zhuangzi in front. I don’t know if they followed those people into the city. "

No wonder I didn't see Gao when I came back this time. It turns out that he ran away a long time ago and even Wu Tingxian lost confidence?

"Ignore Mrs. Lin, let's go back to the city! This will save me from worrying." Li Yu walked back.

After a few people returned to the city, they began to fill all the remaining wine cans with gunpowder and iron sand and install fuses. Zhou Jia came back from the front office exhausted and saw several people filling the wine cans with dark things in the warehouse. He looked at a few people strangely and said, "Madam, I thought you were tinkering with something delicious in the warehouse? It turns out it's such a dark thing."

Ji Xiang laughed loudly, thinking that it would be terrible to eat this thing. Li Yu also laughed after hearing this, "You can't eat this thing."

Ruyi smiled at Zhou Jia and said: "Master, this thing is like a firecracker, but it is much more powerful than the firecracker. Madam is going to use it to deal with those Qi soldiers."

"This thing can be used against Qi Bing? How to deal with it?" Zhou Jia looked at the three people in confusion. Ji Xiang squeezed to Zhou Jia's side and told Zhou Jia about the power that several people had tested on the mountain bag outside the city.

"Really?" Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu in surprise, "Madam, is this what your master told you?"

Li Yu nodded and thought to himself: Fortunately, he found a master as invisible as a dragon, otherwise how could he hide it?

Zhou Jia looked at the jars in the basket and thought, with this thing in his mind, are he afraid that he won't be able to defend Yunzhou City? It won't be a problem to drive the Qi people back to the north.

Li Yu glanced at Zhou Jia and knew what he was thinking, looked at him and said: "Zhou Jia, you can't expose these things, because you should know the truth that ordinary people are not guilty and have a jade in their possession, and you need to know the superiors No matter how wise he is, there are times when he is confused. If there are people with evil intentions to stir up troubles, even if we empty our wealth and donate it, they will still doubt us and think that we have something more powerful hidden that we have not presented. Go out, what will greet us will only be the disaster of annihilation, unless you have...

Zhou Jia knew what Li Yu said behind him. Unless you have the ambition to dominate the world, Zhou Jia thought it was funny to think of this. Even the prefect had brought so much trouble to Yu'er, and he could still live a stable life in the world. Have you passed? Forget it, it would be better for me to wait until I get rid of Qi Ren, then resign and return to Fengming Village to open an academy and become a teacher.

"Don't expose it? Madam, if we take it out and use it, someone will know about it! If you don't use it, how can you use it after you make it?"

"Master, we can't use it openly. We can use it secretly and help secretly!" Ji Xiang looked at Zhou Jia and said, while Ruyi looked at Zhou Jia and couldn't help but nod.

Li Yu also nodded and said: "Ji Xiang is right. Although General Ouyang has cleared his country, if the Qi army really has 200,000 soldiers as you estimate, I'm worried that the tens of thousands of soldiers in the city will not be able to defend it." Yunzhou City.”

Zhou Jia also thought about it, "Yes, what you said makes sense. When the time comes, we can disguise ourselves as government soldiers and go to the top of the city to help in the corner."

Everyone agreed on the idea and had something to deal with Qi Bing. Zhou Jia, who was smiling auspiciously, said: "Master, you have to get some clothes of the soldiers and hide them at home as soon as possible. We will carry these things on our backs when the time comes. Qi Bing was blown up on top of the city."

"Don't worry, I'll get it back tomorrow." Zhou Jia smiled and patted Jixiang again, "This will delay your marriage, otherwise we Jixiang might have become the groomsmen."

"Sir, you really went off topic too fast." Ji Xiang ran out with a red face.
