Are you in the Shura field today?

There is an open workshop in the fireworks village, and there are signs that some owners have gone to work not long ago. Unfortunately, there may not be any ordinary family in Lizhou this year who can buy fireworks with spare money.

"Mr. Tian, ​​if your fireworks factory hasn't opened yet, can you still produce a lot of fireworks in a short period of time?" Li Zuoqing glanced at the cold little workshop, and couldn't help mentioning his worries.

"Don't underestimate people. When my fireworks shop has enough people, the fireworks needed in the whole Lizhou can be finished in seven days, but I haven't promised you this matter yet!" Tian Ruiming said.

Hearing the affirmative answer, Li Zuoqing had the bottom line in her heart. She looked at Wen Mingran who was pulling Tian Miaoke to draw a grid on the ground, and said casually: "I told you, you can try to mention it to me for any reward." , You didn’t give up on this fireworks house completely, did you?”

Tian Ruiming was dumbfounded by the question, and after a long while he mocked himself: "Could it be that you can still help Lizhou through this food shortage? Unless the current emperor came, then..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Zuoqing, shook his head again, and took a step back: "Impossible, that dog official sealed up the news so tightly, people outside the city might think that the people of Lizhou are living and working in peace and contentment."

"But if you can help bring the news out of Lizhou and write a letter to the emperor or minister in the capital, maybe things will turn around. If this is the case, it's not that I can't agree to your request."

Ordinary people who rushed to stop the sedan chair to write a letter might be arrested as an assassin, but he thought that this heavenly stem could be received by the county magistrate, and he might have a noble status and be able to get in touch with high-status ministers.

"This is easy to do."

I didn't expect Tian Ruiming's expectations to be so low. This is much easier than Li Zuoqing's idea of ​​spending a lot of money to buy food to help the people of Lizhou.

She decided not to reveal her identity, and asked again: "But you have to tell me clearly about the situation in Lizhou first, so that when I leave Lizhou, I can have evidence to file a letter with."

Tian Ruiming saw that Li Zuoqing was indeed a foreigner, and sighed: "As you saw yesterday, the autumn harvest in Lizhou is not good this year, and many farmers are struggling to support themselves, let alone supporting other people in Lizhou after handing over the money."

Li Zuoqing felt pity when he thought of the old people and children who saw them as Lizhou officials and begged on the road yesterday, "But under such circumstances, the county magistrate should do something. He should write a letter or ask the neighboring town for help."

"In fact, Lizhou used to store grain every year. This year's situation is really special. A while ago, many people in Lizhou had asked for the opening of the granary, but I didn't expect—"

When Tian Ruiming said this, anger ignited in his eyes. He clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "Nearly [-]% of the food reserves over the years have disappeared."

"Huh?" Li Zuoqing opened his eyes wide, feeling speechless and funny at the result.

It seems that even in the world in the book, there is corruption. Tian Ruiming can guess the subsequent development without explaining.

So much food was probably already sold off by the stewards of Lizhou, because Lizhou has a good harvest every year, so the people in charge were lucky, but they didn't expect that when the food was really needed one day, the things they brought out would be greatly reduced.

This kind of matter was investigated and dealt with, but he was determined to lose his head, but he didn't expect that the little county magistrate of Lizhou regarded himself as a local emperor. In order to suppress the rumors, he blocked the entire Lizhou, completely disregarding the lives of the people.

If it wasn't for Li Zuoqing and the others who happened to come here, the people of Lizhou would not know how to survive this cold winter.

"If that's the case..." Li Zuoqing murmured, the solution to the problem in her mind had begun to take shape.

But Li Zuoqing's pause made Tian Ruiming mistakenly think that she still didn't believe his words, so Tian Ruiming hastily added: "I swear to the sky, there is absolutely no falsehood in this statement."

"Brother Tian is really Chicheng at heart." Seeing Tian Ruiming's stern look, Li Zuoqing couldn't help but jokingly scare him: "You never thought about it, what would happen if I were with the county magistrate of Lizhou?"

What should I do if I am with the magistrate of Lizhou?

Maybe the rich person in front of him is the one who bought the life-saving food in Lizhou, maybe she just pretended to care about the lives of the people in Lizhou, and the next moment she will be sent to the county magistrate as a rebel.

When Tian Ruiming was asked this question, his mind was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that he didn't think that Li Zuoqing was also from the magistrate's side, and it wasn't that he didn't think that too much is worse than less, but because there might be expectations, he still chose to give it a go.

"If you were such a person, would you still go to buy wreaths from women on the side of the road and give these little things to your younger sister?"

Hearing this, Li Zuoqing smiled happily, patted Tian Ruiming's shoulder vigorously, and said to reassure him.

No way, who made me an ordinary traveler who pretended to be the eldest princess of the dynasty and was favored by the Holy One, who just happened to have a sense of justice and decided to save the common people when I had nothing to do.

Li Zuoqing complained about himself in his heart, and touched his chin with an unfathomable face.

Besides, this magistrate's rank is still far behind that of her elder brother who dares to plot against.

"Leave this to me." Li Zuoqing's attitude was very relaxed, just like she said in the morning that she would buy the house next to Yanhuazhuang.

"..." Tian Ruiming looked at her with gratitude and doubts in his eyes, "Who the hell are you?"

"It's just a loose official in the court." The emperor and empress are like parents.

Li Zuoqing did not forget to remind him to do business: "In exchange, you can fulfill my request."

"Yes," Tian Ruiming's heart fell to the ground, and it was easier to say a lot, "As long as it is related to fireworks production, I am fine with it."

"That's good." Li Zuoqing nodded.

At this time, there was a loud knock on the door of the fireworks village.

Li Zuoqing heard that the person who spoke outside the door was the Marquis Guard of Lizhou who was ordered to follow her, and it took less than half an hour, so they were worried?

She signaled Tian Ruiming to punch the door, who calmed down and opened the door pretending nothing happened.

"Your Highness, the magistrate ordered us to protect His Highness's safety and not to let people with malicious intentions come close." After the guard came in, he used excuses to explain, and when he mentioned "bad intentions", he deliberately glanced at the sinner. He glanced at Tian Ruiming.

Tian Ruiming was also angry when he saw these lackeys of the magistrate, but Li Zuoqing suddenly smiled openly, stopped among them, and said, "I'm just very interested in Brother Tian's fireworks production technology, and it just so happens that my sister Wen is also with Tian's. The little girl gets along well."

After finishing speaking, Hou Wei glanced at the four people in the village with probing eyes.

It is true that Wen Mingran was playing games with Tian Miaoke in the square on the ground, and the direction that the eldest princess and Tian's elder brother were facing was also a fireworks workshop.

"Lang Yu." Xin Fei walked in from behind the door, and walked up to her without saying a word.

Li Zuoqing responded, and she found that Xin Fei still didn't like to talk, but she liked calling her name more and more.

"By the way, let me tell you about the idea I just mentioned to Brother Tian!" Li Zuoqing held Xin Fei's hand happily and walked towards the fireworks workshop.

Based on the materials in the workshop, she asked Tian Ruiming to send someone to fetch paper and pens, and then began to explain her vision for the skyrocketing fireworks.

The first is a cross-sectional analysis diagram, including a base, a tube body and a drug chamber.

She still remembers dismantling modern fireworks tubes when she was a child. There are ballistics like gun barrels inside, so that after the gunpowder burns, the fireworks can fly into the sky by the momentum of the gunpowder.

And the gunpowder of fireworks will explode in the air immediately, and the fireworks of different colors come from different flame reactions...

She explained as slowly and carefully as possible on the side, but when she looked up, everyone around her had a blank expression.

"This will explode twice?" Tian Ruiming asked.

"...That's what it means," Li Zuoqing thought for a while, nodded and said, "The first explosion will make firecrackers fly up, and then the second explosion will produce colorful fireworks."

Tian Ruiming rubbed his eyes, this novel pattern made him bother to look at it, and in his impression, there was a puff of smoke after the firecracker exploded, but since the adult said it, there must be other ways.

Li Zuoqing saw that everyone didn't seem to be very impressed with this statement, so he simply took a firecracker from the workbench, and then took a flint and steel.

"Brother Tian, ​​can this work?"

Tian Ruiming nodded, but guard Lu and Lanshuang, who were watching Li Zuoqing, were not calm anymore. When did the eldest princess touch these things in person?

"Your Highness, let me do these things for you." Lu Shiwei stepped forward to salute, raising his hand to take the things from the Eldest Princess.

"No need." Li Zuoqing shook her head, these things are troublesome to explain, it's better for her to do it herself, and she was very good at playing it when she was a child.

She brought another wine glass that was just enough to cover the firecrackers, found an open place and said, "The first explosion will probably have this effect—"

After finishing speaking, she lit a small fold of white paper with the flint sparks, lit the fuse of the firecracker, and quickly put the wine glass on the firecracker.

While retreating a few steps away, there was a muffled bang in the wine glass, and the impact of the explosion caused the wine glass to fly out.

"We think of this wine glass as a second firework, so we can make it burn at the right time,"

"The fireworks will go off a second time."

Tian Ruiming came to the conclusion with her.

Li Zuoqing looked at him with the satisfied eyes of a child. This is actually the principle of the second kick, but it is still somewhat different from the flying fireworks.

"Yes, but the problem is that the amount of gunpowder and the ignition time of the fireworks are different, which will lead to different effects of the fireworks."

This takes a long time to debug.

"I understand," Tian Ruiming imagined for a while, and looked expectantly at the simple analysis diagram of the workbench, "I will definitely live up to your expectations and make this fireworks!"

He looked back at Li Zuoqing's eyes with trust and amazement.

Li Zuoqing had a guilty conscience but still smiled condescendingly.

Hey, her level of wit is more than enough to play with the ancients.

"I also understand a little bit."

Xin Fei walked to the workbench and looked carefully. Whether it was hidden weapons or other tools, she was pretty good at handcrafts, so she could see Li Zuoqing's illustrations quite clearly. At this time, she finally knew what Li Zuoqing was worried about recently. .

"I will try my best to help." After all, she said that she would be responsible to Lang Yu.

"Okay," Li Zuoqing stepped forward and touched her face, and said with a smile, "I know I can't persuade you, but be careful not to get hurt."

"Ah."
