Chapter 31 The Girl and the Saltpeter
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ The latest work of the great master Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! Chapter 31 The Girl and Salt Stone
Luo Lan returned to his fiefdom in the evening.
As soon as the boat landed, nearby workers immediately came to greet him, while the farmers who had already waited offered wheat breads and even roasted chicken.
These foods are not worth mentioning in Nanyuantang, but they are rare and delicious on Phuket.
Naturally, Luo Lan would not refuse. He ate and made the farmers laugh happily.
"Your Highness, eat more. Every family has surplus food this year, and they will eat endlessly!"
"The autumn wheat seedlings grow well, your ridge farming method is so amazing, and Mr. Rick's wheat material. The fields in Uttar Pradesh have changed a lot!"
"Next year will surely be a bumper year!"
The farmers were very excited. They had been waiting here for several days. When they saw the prince, they refused to leave easily. Luo Lan was about to die of death and laughed and said, "Okay, okay, everyone go home. If the progress goes well, I will send you iron hoes in spring."
The farmers were even more excited when they said this.
They have heard that Prince Luo Lan has boldly said that he would give farmers iron tools, but he did not issue formal decrees, and to meet the arable land needs of every household, iron tools cost at least 50,000. This is not a small amount. Where can the prince have the money to buy?
But no one questioned it, and everyone just shouted frantically to thank the prince.
When everyone leaves, it's already dark.
Luo Lan touched her round belly and walked towards the palace. After stepping in, Ellie, who had not seen for a long time, ran over.
The youthful and beautiful Ellie has become much more calm. As the image ambassador of Bouji City and the commander-in-chief of the pit movement, she has also learned a lot these days.
"You're back. You're really desperate. You dare to go to Nanyuan. The second prince didn't kill you. You're lucky."
Ellie cursed that as a student who had studied at the Hailing Noble College, she still had some understanding of the throne of the Hailing Kingdom.
So I heard that Luo Lan took Bina to Nanyuan alone to invest, but was very scared.
Luo Lan smiled, "Don't worry, my second brother won't be able to break up with me now. My father is still the king. He can suppress Hailing Kingdom."
In fact, Luo Lan had been struggling for a long time before going to land.
His fiefdom was very down and out, but it had improved. The farmers' food and clothing were temporarily solved. The reform of farming technology, the use of Jinketra and the discovery of coal made Boji Island more powerful.
The development of the western region has solved the financial crisis again, which is enough to keep Bouji Island until the spring of next year.
Luo Lan was considering whether to stay up to spring from the beginning, and then used government regulation to carry out planned economy around farmers.
It is actually more appropriate to do this steady progress, but Luo Lan gave up. He didn't want to survive the long autumn and winter. He could do too many things in these two quarters, so the special economic zone came into being.
As it turned out, Luo Lan had gone the right way, and the second prince did not touch him, and he himself brought a fleet.
As Ellie's complaint, Luo Lan touched her little head, and then couldn't help but say excitedly: "Where is that little girl? The little girl brought back by Bina."
If you want to talk about what Luo Lan is most concerned about now, it is undoubtedly Daisy.
If you guessed correctly, Daisy is a gunpowder expert.
"She can't stay and always runs around, and I don't know where she is."
Ellie shook her head helplessly, Luo Lan was a little surprised, "That little guy looks quite shy. Why do you like to run around? I'll go find her."
Luo Lan turned around and left the palace, but did not listen to Ellie's report on the movement of the pit.
Next to a low old stone house, Luo Lan met Daisy.
The girl, who was fourteen or fifteen years old, was holding a torch in her hand, bent over and walked through the corner of the wall, plundering something on the ground with great concentration.
She was carrying a burlap bag, and from time to time she picked up some stones from the ground and put them in the bag. She was extremely nervous, like a thief.
But where are there thieves who pick up stones?
Most people definitely can't understand it, but Luo Lan's mind flashed with inspiration. He remembered the ancient saltpeter that his high school chemistry teacher talked about.
Saltpeter is one of the raw materials for making black gunpowder, and its chemical composition is potassium nitrate. Saltpeter in nature is often formed by decomposing nitrogen-containing organic substances in the soil under the action of bacteria, oxidizing into nitric acid and combining with potassium in the soil.
This is a bit difficult to understand. Luo Lan was also confused at the time, but he still remembered that the teacher said that these chemical reactions usually occur in the clear and refreshing autumn seasons, especially in the corners of the pigpens, stables, and toilets.
In short, saltpeter can be found in daily life. It usually precipitates out in the shape of a skin or salt flower, covering the ground and the foot of the wall. This is called ground frost.
Daisy secretly picked up stones at the foot of the wall, probably just picking up saltpeter.
This originally dirty broken city should have a lot of saltpeter.
Luo Lan walked over with a slight foot, and he saw Des walk to a stable. Of course, the stable was scrapped.
Daisy used a torch to illuminate the ground, and picked up specific small stones nervously and excitedly.
Luo Lan looked at it for a while and suddenly coughed.
Daisy screamed in fear and almost threw away the torch. She hid the cloth bag behind her and looked at Luo Lan with a blue face.
The torch was dim, but Daisy immediately recognized Luo Lan. For a moment, she felt relieved, but immediately warned herself to be alert.
"Your name is Daisy, right? I saved you at the Bishui City Shore, do you remember?"
Luo Lan stepped closer, Daisy's face was white and red. She clearly remembered the gentle eyes when Luo Lan saved her, which was gentle that no one could compare to.
But I am an alchemist and a devil despised by everyone, and this gentle prince may also hate me.
"Yes...thank you...I will leave here as soon as possible..."
Daisy stuttered, and for some reason a feeling of sorrow came to her heart.
Luo Lan immediately frowned, "How can you leave? Now everyone knows that you are a witch or my female slave. You can't go anywhere, and if you leave, will I lose a lot?"
Luo Lan's tone was very domineering. Daisy sighed deeply. She found that Luo Lan was not gentle. He was coveting his young body. He had been accused of being his female slave.
"After you enjoy me... I hope you can let me go..."
Daisy lowered her head, and her red eyes began to shed tears.
Luo Lan was a little dazed, "Why are you crying? Didn't Bina tell you why I saved you? I saved you on purpose, you are an alchemist."
Luo Lan's words made Daisy tremble suddenly. She was so shocked that she took two steps back, and the cloth bag hidden behind her fell to the ground.
Luo Lan scratched her head with a wry smile, "Okay, okay, no more riddles. I have read "Alchemy" and know that it records a powerful and explosive thing. If I was not wrong, you would make it right?"
Luo Lan, who was straightforward, calmed down Daisy. Her beautiful face wrinkled tightly and said timidly: "Do you want to explode the bomb?"
"Yes, there are already two alchemists on my island, both of whom are well-known figures. Welcome to join. I promise that your bomb will be carried forward on Phuket Island!"
Daisy opened her mouth wide and thought she had heard it wrong. After she arrived on the island, she did feel that Bouji Island was different, but she never thought that Prince Luo Lan was so bold that she was inviting the alchemist.
The horror just now turned into surprise in an instant. In Prince Luo Lan's affirmative gaze, Daisy, who was anxious, finally smiled a little.
Father, your alchemy may be available.
