After Qin Fang came out of the house, he found that he hadn't had dinner yet. He just drank a bowl of shredded pork soup, and his stomach was not full, so he went to the steamed bun shop. Although it was getting late, there were still open bun shops, because the buns were not sold out, so they were not closed yet. So, Qin Fang sold all the buns in one breath, that is, thirty-five, costing him seventy cents.

However, General Qin now has more money in his private house. When the centurion was a centurion, he had pocket money of one hundred taels a month. When he was a thousand centurion, he had pocket money of one tael of silver a month. Now he is General Qin, and he has pocket money of ten taels of silver a month. Ten pennies, he doesn't value it at all. In the past, Yang Haiyan felt distressed when he bought meat for him.

Speaking of which, at that time he was happy enough to have pocket money of 100 pennies, but now he has pocket money of 10 taels of silver, but he could not experience the happiness at that time.

Qin Fang dried six buns in one breath, and there were still twenty-nine left. Because Yunxiang County is barren, the steamed buns are made very big. If the buns are not big, few people will buy them.

Then, Qin was placed in the Eastern Suburbs Barracks.

In the barracks, apart from the soldiers on guard and the kitchen, all the others went to search the mountain. Qin Fang went to the kitchen, and asked the logistics soldiers in the kitchen to prepare meals for backup, lest the soldiers who searched the mountain would come back hungry. Especially the 100 soldiers who followed him in the morning were even more hungry now.

After instructing the logistics soldiers of the kitchen, Qin Fang went directly to the Beast Mountain.

The beast mountain is big and high, and it takes a lot of time just to climb the mountain. In the morning, Qin Fang took the soldiers and climbed for more than an hour. At this moment, he was alone, and he rushed to the outside of the Taoist Temple in less than an hour.

"Here comes the general."

"General..."

"General, the tiger hasn't woken up yet."

Colonel Lu: "Why is the general here?"

Qin Fang gave the buns to Colonel Lu: "Give it to the soldiers present, the number is limited."

Captain Lu: "Yes." Twenty-nine steamed buns are still enough. The number of people present was not as many as twenty-nine, because basically everyone went to search the mountains.

Thinking of Soushan, Qin Fang asked, "Is there any news about sulfur and saltpeter?"

Colonel Lu said: "Not yet. Lao Yang is centered on the Taoist temple and has spread out to search for it. According to our speculation based on your assumptions, the other party built the Taoist temple here for the sake of sulfur and saltpeter, then where the sulfur and saltpeter are located, It shouldn't be far from here."

"The sulphur may be some distance away, but the saltpeter won't be far." Dr. Li came out of the Taoist temple.

Qin Fang: "Doctor Li, haven't you rested yet?"

Doctor Li said, "Not yet."

Captain Lu gave the buns to Doctor Li.

Dr. Li was not polite, took a bite of the bun, and continued: "If the sulfur gas is inhaled too much, it will produce toxins, so the sulfur will not be nearby. Of course, if the people who established Taoist temples don't care about the safety of other people's lives, that's another matter. "

Qin Fang laughed: "Even if the other party doesn't care about the safety of others, he will still care about the safety of the Taoist priest. If something happens to the Taoist priest, who will make the longevity pill for him? Don't you see that this is the concept of longevity?"

Dr. Li couldn't help laughing: "The general is right."

The tiger hadn't woken up yet, and the man in chains had already fallen asleep after drinking the medicine. The Longevity Temple, which was originally uninterested, is now brightly lit. I have to say that there is such a Taoist temple on the mountain.

Qin Fang and others were waiting for the news of sulfur and saltpeter, and Yang Haiyan was also waiting for the news. However, what she was waiting for was saltpeter.

Why did Yang Haiyan wait for saltpeter? Because saltpeter can make ice. In summer, you can put ice in the house to cool down the hot summer. You know, in ancient times, there were no fans and no air conditioners, and it was really hot in summer.

There is saltpeter in Yang Haiyan's platform, but the saltpeter in this world has not yet appeared, and she can't think of a good reason for making ice with saltpeter, so it has been useless. But now that saltpeter has appeared, she has a plan.

Yang Haiyan remembered that when she was reading a novel, she had seen the heroine of Transmigration make ice with saltpeter in ancient times. At that time, she was curious and checked the process of making ice with saltpeter on the Internet. It turned out that the process was very simple.

Making ice with saltpeter is not only simple, but she also found some information about saltpeter. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, a soldier went to wash his hands after producing gunpowder. At that time, he still had saltpeter in his hand. The saltpeter fell into the water, and he was surprised to find that the saltpeter that fell into the water absorbed heat and lowered the temperature of the water.

Thus, the matter of making ice with saltpeter came from this.

Of course, Yang Haiyan doesn't know if the matter is true or not, it's all the information he sees on the Internet. However, she could borrow this thing. Now that both sulfur and saltpeter are out, she can make firecrackers by herself, ask Qin Fang for some sulfur and saltpeter, and then wash her hands in the process of making firecrackers... The matter of making ice with saltpeter can also come.

If the sulfur and saltpeter mines are found, Qin Fang will definitely report them to the court, and gunpowder is of great importance. However, if saltpeter ice is discovered, the price of ice will be reduced, and perhaps ordinary people can afford ice.

I just didn't know that the sulfur and saltpeter mines were discovered. If they reported it to the court, how would the court reward Qin Fang? If the matter of making ice with saltpeter is reported again, how will the court reward Qin Fang?

beast mountain

In the second half of the night, the news of the saltpeter mine finally came.

Focusing on the Taoist temple, it is not difficult for a thousand soldiers to find sulfur and saltpeter mines. Because the Taoist temple can be built here, it means that the sulphur and saltpeter mines are definitely not small.

Not long after the saltpeter mine was found, news of the sulphur mine came.

Qin Da was overjoyed.

Captain Yang: "General, what should we do with these sulfur and ore?"

deal with? Qin Fang thought about it and thought of what Yang Haiyan said, if the firecrackers are made into big ones, then they will be used on the battlefield, who would dare to come to Fan Qiguo? He is a citizen of Qiguo, so he naturally hopes that Qiguo will be strong. "I will report this matter to the court, and you will send people to guard the sulphur and saltpeter mines."

Captain Yang: "Yes."

Qin Fang: "go, take me to see."

So, Xiaowei Yang took Qin Fang to the saltpeter mine first. Looking at the white spar full of mines, Qin Fang was so surprised that an egg could be stuffed into his mouth.

Captain Yang said, "The soldiers were shocked when they found it. This mine is really big."

Qin Fang's idea is that with so many saltpeter mines, if the sulfur mines are also large, how many big firecrackers can be made? "Is there so much over there too?"

Yang Xiaowei: "It's not as big as the saltpeter mine, but it's also a big mine."

Then they went to see the sulphur mines. As Yang Xiaowei said, although the sulphur mine is not as big as the saltpeter mine, it is indeed a big mine.

Back at the Taoist temple, Dr. Li went to Qin Fang: "General, can you take more of the sulfur and saltpeter grass people here to the general's mansion?"

Qin Fang said: "Okay, take all these in this Taoist temple away, don't move in the mine."

There are several baskets in the Taoist temple alone, and many rooms are full. These are enough for Doctor Li to use for several years, so he is very happy: "Thank you, General."

Qin Fang: "Except for those who stayed here, everyone else should go back. After returning, remember to bring meals to the soldiers who stayed behind."

"Yes."

Doctor Li: "The grass-climbers won't go, and the grass-climbers up and down the mountain can't bear it."

Qin Fang thought about it, Dr. Li was going to see a doctor here for Iron Chain Man, and it was really tiring to climb up and down the mountain, so he nodded and said, "Then you are here for the time being."

Dr. Li: "Thank you, General, and I'd like to trouble the General to inform the little girl and ask him to pack some luggage for me and bring it to someone else."

Qin Fang: "Okay, I'll let Tao Shan do it."

When Qin Fang returned to the General's Mansion, he was already in the middle of his ugliness, and there were still several baskets of sulfur and saltpeter, so there was a lot of movement.

Yang Haiyan got up in a daze, and didn't dress properly, so she put on a cloak outside, and then walked to the door. When she saw Mother Lian coming in from outside, she asked, "Mother, what time is it?"

Madam Lian said, "It's time to be ugly."

Yang Haiyan thought about it, isn't that two o'clock in the morning? "What are you doing outside?"

Sister Lian said: "The general is back, and he also brought back several baskets of sulfur and saltpeter, and sent them to Doctor Li's yard."

Hearing the sulfur and saltpeter, Yang Haiyan hurriedly said, "Quick, bring a few baskets here."

Mother Lian was stunned for a moment: "Ah, Mrs., this sulfur is said to be poisonous. What are you doing? Be careful of poisoning."

Yang Haiyan said: "Don't worry, mama, I just want to make some firecrackers, and make the house lively and lively after the Chinese New Year."

Mother Lian felt that the wife was bored and thought about it. If you want firecrackers, just buy them directly. Even if there are not many firecrackers, you can still buy a few for fun. "Why don't the old slave buy you some firecrackers tomorrow to play with?"

Yang Haiyan said: "What's the point of buying it? You have to make it yourself."

Wait... Mammy Lian found herself ignoring a point: "This sulfur and saltpeter are used to make firecrackers? But isn't this medicine?" Some people know that sulfur and saltpeter are one of the materials for making firecrackers. In the eyes of people who know a little about medicine, this sulfur and saltpeter is indeed medicine.

Mother Lian didn't dare to say she knew medicine, but after staying in the house for a long time, she still recognized some medicines, such as sulfur and saltpeter.

Yang Haiyan said: "I've seen it in the book too, so I don't know yet. When there is sulfur and saltpeter, I will ask an old master to do it." Even if there is sulfur and saltpeter, she will not know how to do it. Firecrackers.

Mother Lian didn't think too much: "Then the old slave asked someone to bring sulfur and saltpeter here?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Okay." She didn't want sulfur, but it was not appropriate to want both, so she wanted both.

Mother Lian just went out, and she fought with Qin Fang again: "I have seen the general. General, my wife wants sulfur and saltpeter to make firecrackers, and I want to mix some from here and carry it to my wife's yard."
