Chapter 72: Standard Gunpowder (I)


In the early morning, a carriage was parked in front of the Rongguo Palace.

It looked very simple, and a middle-aged man was sitting in the driving seat.

There are also some horses surrounding the carriage in the center.

Yang Shen walked out of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion surrounded by more than ten people, and boarded the carriage, which started slowly.

More than ten followers were guarding both sides of the carriage.

Although it was the carriage that Yang Shen, the head of the family, was riding in, the interior decoration was still not luxurious, with only a small wooden table, a few plates of snacks, and a pot of hot tea.

The Yang family's carriage is naturally unique in design, and the driver's driving ability is beyond doubt.

Yang Shen did not feel any bumps at all while the carriage was walking on the streets of Chang'an City.

Yang Shen lifted the car curtain and looked at the bustling crowd outside and the bustling scene in the countryside of Chang'an City.

Since time traveling, he had only seen this scene once with Ye Lingbo.

Yang Shen was very interested in this scene that resembled the ancient Chinese market.

The cries of vendors, the acrobatics of buskers, the sounds of children playing, and the scoldings of adults filled his ears.

This noisy popularity made Yang Shen's spirit lift.

The only flaw is that when people on the street saw this carriage surrounded by more than a dozen tall horses, they subconsciously stayed away and did not want to get close.

The awe of the powerful has always been the same at all times and in all countries.

The carriage quickly arrived at the city gate.

Seeing Yang Shen's majesty, the soldiers at the city gate seemed to want to stop but did not dare to stop them.

They were quite cowed.

Seeing this scene, Yang Shen sighed softly in his heart. tone.

The city gate defenders have heavy responsibilities, but they are so afraid of the powerful.

It is not a blessing to the country.

The so-called apocalyptic scene can also be seen through a glimpse of the leopard.

He gave a slight signal to a man on horseback.

The man did not dare to neglect, took out a token from his arms, and showed it gently in front of several defenders.

The defenders breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and turned to Yang Shen.

They bowed to each other and then left.

The carriage left the city, turned around, and soon arrived outside a village.

Zhuangzi was very large, with an area of ​​over a thousand square meters.

Only top wealthy families like the Yang family could occupy such a large Zhuangzi in a place with high land prices around the capital.

Outside Zhuangzi, there were already hundreds of people waiting there.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a fat complexion, and behind him stood a dozen middle-aged men who looked like Zhuang Ding.

The remaining seventy or eighty people were all dressed as farmers.

Before Yang Shen could get out of the car, the middle-aged man led everyone to bend down and salute, saying: "Greetings to the head of the family."

The men remained hunched over and motionless.

An entourage had already opened the curtain for Yang Shen.

He stepped out of the carriage and said gently to the middle-aged man: "Thank you for your hard work, Butler Yang.

Let them all disperse."

As he said this, he pointed at the farmers.

Naturally, the Yang family built a village here not just to buy an additional property.

The tens of thousands of square meters of land around the village also belong to the Yang family's property.

These farmers standing here are all tenant farmers of the Yang family.

Butler Yang responded quickly.

He greeted a few villagers and saw these people stepping forward to disperse the farmers.

Yang Shen had the memory of his original self and was no stranger to this place.

As he walked inside, he asked Butler Yang beside him: "Have the Taoist priests I arranged arrived?"

Butler Yang said respectfully: "They are all here.

They have been tinkering in the back yard for the past few days.

Except for the occasional rumbling noise, I don't know what they are doing."

Originally, these Taoists made such a big noise in the Zhuangzi and made the people in the Zhuangzi restless.

Butler Yang had long wanted to go in and find out.

However, the servants around Yang Shen had told him a few days ago that no matter what kind of noise those Taoists made, , all left to them, and he was not allowed to interfere in the slightest.

"Yeah."

Yang Shen hummed softly and asked again, "Have the things I ordered to be delivered here been delivered?"

Butler Yang replied: "After the wood, sulfur, saltpeter, etc. were delivered, my subordinates did not dare to neglect them.

They have already been sent to several Taoist priests."

There was something strange in his heart.

As far as she knew, these things were used by Taoist priests to assist in alchemy.

Could it be that those Taoist priests were making elixirs for the family master in the yard but failed?

The family master wanted to pursue immortality.

If this is the case, it is really not a blessing for the Yang family.

Naturally, Yang Shen didn't know that Butler Yang beside him was secretly criticizing him.

When he heard that all the things he arranged had been taken care of by his servants, he smiled slightly and said with some appreciation: "You did a good job."

Butler Yang showed a frightened look on his face: "I don't dare to take credit.

I am relying on your proper arrangements, the head of the family."

Yang Shen smiled and said, "No need to be modest, just take me to some Taoist priests."

Butler Yang responded with a yes and cautiously took the lead by half a step ahead of Yang Shen.

The etiquette and laws of the country are strict, and few subordinates dare to walk in the front when walking with their superiors.

However, there are naturally exceptions, and leading the way is one of them.

After a while, Yang Shen was led by Butler Yang to an independent courtyard behind Zhuangzi.

At this time, the roar of "boom, boom" sounded, and the sound was deafening.

Butler Yang complained to Yang Shen: "Listen, Master, these days, no matter day or night, this kind of sound is always heard in the village, which makes the people startled and the farmers can't sleep well.

Always.

That’s right, I’m afraid farmers’ farm work during the day will also be delayed.”

Yang Shen patted him on the shoulder and said calmly: "This matter is very important and cannot be delayed.

You order people to be patient for a few days.

Don't worry, it will not exceed ten days."

What Yang Shen put here is really important and will be of immeasurable help in his future struggle for world hegemony.

The noise just now must not be heard by others.

Yang Shen can only rest assured if this matter is done here by Zhuangzi.

This village is surrounded by the Yang family's fields, covering tens of thousands of square meters in total.

It is so vast that no sound can reach the ears of outsiders.

He stopped in front of the door and slowly said to Butler Yang: "Cooperate with the people I sent, and you will keep an eye on everyone in this village.

No one is allowed to leave without my order. " Butler Yang was shocked: "Yes, the head of the family."

A few days ago, several Taoist priests were accompanied by dozens of young men in their prime who were filled with evil spirits.

When Butler Yang asked about the purpose of their coming, these men took out the family head's decree and told him that these people formed a system of their own.

Be governed by him.

They just asked Butler Yang to help prepare food and accommodation, and he was told not to take care of the rest.

He has been patrolling around Zhuangzi for the past few days, which makes Butler Yang quite confused.

Originally, Butler Yang was unhappy because of the arrogant and stiff attitude of these people.

But when he heard the words of the head of the house, he realized that these people were used by Yang Shen to monitor their whereabouts.

These people came together with the Taoist priests.

From this, it can be seen that what is going on in the small courtyard in front of them must be very popular with Yang Shen
