Live as the emperor

Chapter 174 You Made a Firecracker in One Month?
In the northeast of Dadu, thirty miles outside the city, there is a mountain range with strange rocks and few people.

One day, a team of 1000 people appeared in this mountain range, and using local materials, it took ten days to build a square earthen city.

Chen Guang was riding a horse with ten people behind him.This is a man assigned by Medog as his assistant, and he is proficient in Chinese.

"The speed is quite fast. It seems that my old father-in-law is in a very urgent mood." Chen Guang rode a horse, looked at the Tucheng in front of him, and said with a smile.

The others laughed and said nothing, thinking that what the son-in-law said was nonsense?How many years have we been oppressed by the Huns?If you are given a chance to destroy them, let alone ten days, even if you ask for one day, we will build ten times as many troops for you.

Chen Guang only wanted to trouble the Huns because the Huns killed Wu Xin, but the people of the Yuan Kingdom don’t know how many border raids they will suffer every year, and they already hate the Huns. To the bone, if they can kill in the morning, they definitely don't want to wait until the afternoon.

A group of people came to the outside of the earthen wall. There were 20 people guarding the gate. From here, it can be seen how much Modog attaches importance to this place.

"His Royal Highness." Chen Guang came, and they saluted together. Although they spoke the language of the Yuan Kingdom, they had to hear this title many times a day, and they could already understand it.

Chen Guang smiled slightly and said, "Excuse me." The man behind immediately spoke in Yuan Guo's words, and the guards separated to let Chen Guang and the others go in.

The furnishings inside are similar to Chen Guang's requirements, and generally speaking, Chen Guang is still very satisfied.I just looked at all the places, and Motuo came over at some point. After seeing Chen Guang, he said, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"It's okay, it's barely usable. I need raw materials now, and I've written them all here. You can ask someone to buy them and bring them here." Chen Guang threw out a list without saying a word. Father-in-law, Chen Guang felt that he was becoming more and more impolite.

"You are really impolite, and you have ordered me." Although he said so, Motuo smiled, took the list over and looked at it, and said, "Saltpeter? Charcoal? Cotton thread? Lamp oil? Iron? There is..." No matter how you look at it, the things inside can't be put together, what is this for?

"You know it when you buy it, remember not to get it wet, it will be useless if it gets wet. Of course, you can't touch it with fire, or it will explode."

Soon, the things were bought and piled up in the warehouse, and Motuo began to teach people how to make grenades—this is one of the two equipment that Chen Guang asked the netizens in the live broadcast room to bring, and those with pull-tabs could not make them , It’s still the kind of ignition—to put it simply, it’s a bigger firecracker.

Chen Guang's plan is to make a trebuchet and launch these things out.

A month later, there were already a lot of finished grenades and trebuchets piled up in the warehouse.

In fact, Chen Guang was not here for most of the month, and the time of each stay was not long - because the gunpowder was too easy to explode at this time, and Chen Guang didn't want to stay here all day in fear.But God bless, there has not been an explosion accident this month.

Today is the day that Chen Guang made an appointment with Medog. Chen Guang came here in the morning, inspected the production results of this month, and said he was basically satisfied, and then Medog also arrived.

"A month has passed. How are you preparing?" This was Motuo's first question after meeting Chen Guang.Medog has been trying to find out what Chen Guang is doing this month, but every time he comes here, he is rejected on the grounds that it is dangerous inside. Today, Chen Guang finally stopped stopping him.

"It's ready, why, are you going to declare war on the Huns?" Chen Guang asked back with a smile.

When it came to declaring war, Motuo obviously lacked confidence, and said with a sneer: "Haha, everyone is living in peace recently, so if I declared war like this, wouldn't it be justified? My troubles, isn't that worth the candle?"

When Chen Guang heard this, he immediately felt like shit, what the hell is this? Wasn't it promised that he would be beaten?Why did you end up with an unknown force? Didn’t the Huns always invade your borders before? Isn’t this considered a military force with a famous name?
However, Medog thought of another matter. Although he seemed eager to send troops to the Huns immediately, it would be very risky for him.He was not sure that the things Chen Guang made were really as miraculous as he said, and could wipe out the Huns in one fell swoop.Once it fails... So he decided not to bet all his treasures on Chen Guang. This is a necessary thinking for a political figure.

Although Chen Guang is extremely stupid, but after being a prince and prince for so long, he can probably understand some of these people's thinking, and he doesn't force it. Anyway, what he promised has been done, and what to do next, then It's up to you.

"Your thinking is very reasonable, and I support you very much." Chen Guang said.

Motuo patted Chen Guang's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Good son-in-law. Come on, go into the palace and have a drink with me."

"I think it is better to go to Honglu Temple. If you are drunk, someone will take you back to the palace. If I get drunk in the palace, then I can only sleep on the ground."

So the two came to Honglu Temple and met Motuo. Min'er was very happy, and quickly ordered the people below to prepare a table of good food and wine, and the three of them gathered around the table to eat.

"Can you tell me now, what have you been cooking up for a month?" Medog finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked after drinking three rounds and eating five flavors.

Chen Guang seemed to have expected this move a long time ago. He took out a thumb-sized red thing from his pocket and said, "This is what I did."

"what is this?"

This thing is about the size of a pinky finger, wrapped in red paper, white inside, smelling a bit like sulfur, and there is a cotton thread inserted inside.

This is naturally the firecracker that is popular in that world during the Chinese New Year, and Chen Guang made one of these, just to show it to Motuo.

Chen Guang took the firecrackers, approached the candles on the table, lit the fire and threw them out immediately.

Min'er and Motuo both stared at the little red guy, bounced on the ground, and then made a bang, which startled both father and daughter.

"It's gone?" Medog stared at the exploding firecracker closely, but the firecracker didn't respond for a long time, so he asked immediately.

Chen Guang said, "It's gone."

"What's this called?"

"Firecrackers."

"It took you a month and 1 taels of silver to make this?"
