The night passed quickly, and the next morning, the craftsmen made out the items ordered by Li Xin and made a total of more than ten sets. Although they were a bit rough, they were barely available.

Li Xin checked it and nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you all for your hard work. If you succeed this trip, the leader will be the fourth-class merit and the participants will be the fifth-class merit!"

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"

The gunpowder craftsman and blacksmith headed by Wang Da bowed happily and thanked him.

Li Xin smiled slightly, then turned his head and said, "Xing Wu, take a few brothers to find a pond nearby, and get two more boats."

"Get orders!"

Xing Wu turned around and went.

Gao Guiying couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Li, what are you going to do?"

Now Gao Guiying is full of interest in Li Xin's endless means. As long as Li Xin makes a little strange move, she will expand her curiosity like a conditioned reflex.

The Hongniang also wanted to know, and Miaomu stared at Li Xin without blinking.

Li Xin said lightly: "I plan to be a mine. Although we don't have warships, the canal cannot rush around the court. Sister Guiying, remember that you promised me and have defeated the Chaoting Navy. You have to be a concubine for me."

"Who promised you!"

Gao Guiying hummed in shame and annoyance.

Perhaps Gao Guiying herself didn't realize that she had gradually gotten used to Li Xin's teasing, and from the initial harsh words to the current little woman's coquettish look. Li Xin did not remind her and smiled and said, "Sister Guiying, come here."

"Well?"

Gao Guiying subconsciously approached Li Xin two steps closer.

Li Xin pulled out a small straw from the end of her hair, and then dusted the dust on her shoulders, then shook his head and said, "Sister Guiying, a woman's beauty is a gift from God. You must cherish it very much, not be sloppy. Do you think I am fascinated by you and don't have to care about my image? I'll give you a small mirror another day."

In an instant, Gao Guiying was so annoyed that she glared at Li Xin fiercely, but her heart twitched violently!

Li Zicheng is a rough man. She has never experienced the feeling of flirting in Li Zicheng. Usually, the couple are busy leading the army, so how can they have the intention to cultivate the relationship between husband and wife?

Zhang Xianzhong had dozens of concubines, and Luo Rucai had hundreds of them. Li Zicheng was better, but there were more than a dozen concubines, which made Gao Guiying very angry with Li Zicheng. Although Li Xin had a little ambiguous with Zhou Han, he was dominating the Hongmao while seducing him, compared with Li Zicheng, it was obvious that good things were not the case. At least Li Xin paid attention to friendship, and those careless words and small actions that made people gradually sink into depravity.

‘No, I should not be deceived by his sweet words. I am a married woman. I cannot be hooked up like my own first two men. I have to leave as soon as possible, without seeing them!’

Gao Guiying suddenly woke up and reminded herself that she could not continue like this, but her heart was vaguely sucked, as if she was about to lose something, empty and lost.

The boss saw that Li Xin was so considerate to Gao Guiying, and he was very tempted.

Li Xin naturally would not fall from both ends. He looked at the Matchmaker for a moment and smiled and said, "Matchmaker, you have turned white!"

"Ah, where is it!"

The Hongniang was surprised and happy.

"Isn't it good to be white? Come here!"

Li Xin stretched out his hand, took off the headscarf of the Hongniang, and said seriously: "Matchmaker, the talented people in the Jianghu pack a headscarf. You will be my Li family's big grandmother in the future. You should be full of pearls and jade. Don't wrap it from now on. If you are afraid of heavy wind and sand, it doesn't matter. I will wash your hair in the future."

"How can that be? You are a man and you want to do big things!"

The Hong Madam does not follow the truth.

Li Xin shook his finger: "Your business is a big deal to me. Do you have any questions to tell me? Go and do it quickly, I'll take you to open your eyes later."

"Oh, then I have to explain, wait for me for a while."

The Hong Niang was happy and hurried to the side and explained some matters to the female soldier.

Soon, Xing Wu sent someone to say that he had found a pond outside the city, and Li Xin immediately brought everyone to him.

This is a small pond with an area of ​​only a few hundred square meters. Two fishing boats stopped on the shore, surrounded by many soldiers and talked a lot.

Li Xin made it on site and took an hour to make the first mine in the world. He arranged the fuze on all sides because he was worried that the fuze would not touch the hull.

"Commander-in-Chief, water and fire are incompatible. Can this thing be blown in water?"

Erju couldn't help asking.

"Hehe, just look at it. Everyone stands farther away, it's better to lie down!"

Li Xin smiled and everyone slowly retreated, but there was no one lying down.

Li Xin didn't care anymore, and gently put the mine into the water, slowly tugging towards the center of the pond with a paddle. He was twitching, and suddenly, a huge splash of water hit the mine. Just as the splash was just shot out, he fell down immediately.

"Boom!"

The mine exploded, stirring up a water column about meter high, accompanied by the flying shooting of wooden board fragments and iron sheets. This scared everyone and shivered, and some even fell to the ground after realizing it!

Among them is Gao Guiying and Hong Niangzi, who is covered in dust. Gao Guiying said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Li, what are you nervous about?"

Li Xin said: "The wind and waves in the canal are relatively strong, but they are not as calm as small ponds. Look, even a wave can be blown, which means that the resistance to wind and waves needs to be improved. Come on, you all come here, and leave the next adjustment to you, the key point is to master the balance."

"oh!"

The craftsmen carefully assembled according to Li Xin's request. Throughout the whole morning, there were constant explosions around the pond, and Li Xin was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

"Commander-in-Chief, this one will definitely work!"

As it was approaching noon, Wang Da suddenly waved his arm and shouted.

Li Xin came over and saw a thunder floating in the water. A craftsman held a paddle and kept hitting the water splashes, swinging the mine towards the fishing boat located in the center of the pond.

Three feet!

Two feet!

One foot!

Everyone's eyes solidified. This was the first mine to withstand the waves. The moment they touched the ship, with a bang, the ship disintegrated in the dazzling fire, fragments sputtered in the air, and then fell to the water like dumplings!

"good!"

Li Xin said fiercely: "It's finally done, Master Wang, just do what he did just now, as much as possible. After the official army is defeated, I will remember the merits for you. Let's go. Now we will return to the city!"

A group of craftsmen were extremely excited and returned to the city with everyone.

Gaoyou City was deserted and most of the people were huddled at home and did not dare to go out. Occasionally, they were a little bold in the street. When they saw Li Xin and others, they were also huddled under the eaves and didn't dare to move.

The Hongniangzi frowned and said, "Young Master Li, this is not OK. You have to arrest political affairs. A few tens of thousands of acres of land were found. Why not divide the land first and let the people benefit. One passes through ten, ten passes through hundreds, and naturally I will not be afraid of us."

"Um!"

Gao Guiying also nodded and said, "The King of Chuang was exempted from the levy for five years and was loved by the people. I think you can follow the example."

"What a bad idea!"

Li Xin said unhappily: "It is natural for the people to collect grain and money. I have exempted him from his money and food. What do my soldiers eat? Do you go out to rob like bandits? Money and food are absolutely inevitable. For the time being, collect according to the standards of the Ming Dynasty. If the situation stabilizes in the future, we must also mention it appropriately. Under my rule, there will be no lax people who are lazy and hate labor!"
