122, Chapter 122

Doctor Li thought for a while and said: "The common man wants to go back and study. His body is caused by eating messy things all year round. Although there are signs of poisoning, the poisoning is not serious or serious. Fatal. As for how he went crazy, Cao Min couldn’t guess. But... Cao Min smelled it when he came in. There was a strong smell of sulfur. "

"Smell of sulfur? What about that?" Qin Fang was puzzled.

Doctor Li said: "The people here are in such a situation, there is a Taoist temple, and there is an alchemy furnace in this house. Combined with the smell of sulfur here, I boldly suspect that sulfur is used to make elixirs." In "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" "It is recorded in the book that sulfur-flavored medicine can be used to change the properties of medicine. However, if the sulfur is overdosed, it will be poisonous. Just now, the grassroots said that this person was poisoned, and he probably drank too much of the sulfur smell."

Qin Fang: "‌?"

Doctor Li said: "The smell came from over there. The smell hasn't dissipated yet. I guess there is still sulfur over there. General, let's go there."

Qin Fang: "Yeah."

Doctor Li followed the smell and led him to other rooms. Then his eyes lit up: "A lot of sulfur and saltpeter."

Qin Fang asked: "Yellow stone‌white stone‌?"

Doctor Li laughed loudly: "The general does not know, this white saltpeter and yellow sulfur. Both sulfur and saltpeter can be used as medicines to improve the properties of medicines, but the common people did not expect that there are so many here. The sulfur and saltpeter are so gratifying.”

Qin Fang said: "Not only this room, but other rooms also contain sulfur and saltpeter."

Doctor Li was even more delighted when he heard this: "Just ‌, why is there so much sulfur‌ saltpeter here? Logically speaking, the possibility of transporting it from the mountain is not high. If ‌ is used to make elixirs, the sulfur ‌ If the saltpeter is transported from the mountain to such a high mountain, it would be better to make the elixir directly at the foot of the mountain."

Qin Fang listened and suddenly had an idea: "Is there sulfur or saltpeter near here?"

Doctor Li felt that this was also possible.

Qin Fang went out: "Captain Lu."

"General?" Lieutenant Lu came in from outside.

Qin Fang said: "Send the order and ask all the soldiers to start searching the mountains for these small stones. This yellow one is called sulfur and this white saltpeter. Doctor Li said that this can be used as a medicinal herb, so you should be careful." . But this yellow one is poisonous if you inhale it too much, so you should be careful.”

Lieutenant Lu: "‌."

Doctor Li took out the paper and wrote a prescription: "General, here is the medicine for that person to fry. Send someone to get the medicine down the mountain."

Qin Fang gave the prescription to one of the soldiers: "Go and get the medicine."

Soldier: "‌."

Qin Fang has no idea of ​​taking the person away for the time being. He doesn't know his origin or identity. It would be safer to keep him locked here, but this tiger is in danger. But now, tigers don’t eat wild boar legs. After thinking about it, Qin Fang said to Dr. Li: "Doctor Li, let's exit here first and wait until the ‌ tiger falls before taking control of this place. It's too dangerous to leave the ‌ tiger alone."

Doctor Li listened: "General, do you want to bring down the tiger?"

Qin Fang's face turned a little red, and he was embarrassed: "There are still some intoxicants from the previous sweat medicine. After we left, we used the smoke to bring down the tiger." Anyway... although he was rude. It's something special, but he uses it very easily.

Dr. Li doesn't realize that there is something that can be done without moving the soldiers, so why not use it?

At this time, Qin issued an order and lit the poison in the Taoist temple. Then, they and others left the Taoist temple.

‌The tiger didn't react when he saw them leaving. He went back to his house and lay down. After half an hour, Qin Fang went in and saw that the tiger had been attacked.

Qin Fang: "Come here, make a cage, lock up the tiger, but don't hurt it, and bring fresh meat to it at night. By the way, put an iron chain on it. Put people in a room."

Soldier: "‌."

After the tiger's cage was ready, the tiger hadn't woken up yet and it was already dark. Qin Fang left some soldiers to guard here and protect Dr. Li before he went down the mountain.

By the time Qin Fang returned to the general's mansion, the sky was completely dark.

"The general is back."

A shout came from the door of the General's Mansion. The sound was louder than usual. If the mansion was smaller, everyone would probably be able to hear it.

Qin Fang paused: "Uncle Hong is very angry today."

Uncle Hong chuckled and said, "Anyway, my wife has told me that if you come back, shout louder. No, you didn't come back during dinner today. My wife has come to the door several times."

Qin Fang listened and hurried inside.

Although Uncle Hong's cry did not reach Yang Haiyan, the guards patrolling the palace heard it and immediately went to the inner courtyard to inform Yang Haiyan: "Madam, the general is back, and the voice was heard from Uncle Hong just now. ”

Yang Haiyan had already eaten, and Qin Siya was taking a walk to eat. When she heard that Qin Fang was back, she asked Qin Siya to go back to the yard, and ordered her servants to put the warm dishes on the table, and then she went to pick up Qin Fang.

However, just when Yang Haiyan walked out of the yard, she saw Qin Fang coming back. She took a few steps forward and said, "Why did you come back just now? You didn't ask anyone to send a message back." Knowing that he had gone to Beast Mountain, and he hadn't come back at this point, she would be thinking about other things and worried that he was in danger. .

Hearing the concern in her voice, Qin Fang was also very apologetic: "Yanyan, I'm quite busy today. I've been on the top of the mountain. Everyone in the military camp was called to search the mountain, so I didn't have time to come over. You're worried."

Yang Haiyan could understand after hearing his explanation. When things get busy, how can I take care of these things? "As long as you're fine, I just want you to be fine."

Qin Fang held her hand: "Don't worry, I will remember it."

‌People entered the yard.

Qin Fang didn't eat enough at noon, and he spent a lot of money hiking today, so his stomach was already hungry. When he smelled the aroma of rice, his stomach growled. He was used to being shameless in front of her, but he still had to maintain his image: "Everyone ate the cakes and biscuits at noon, and I wasn't even full."

Yang Haiyan listened, but she couldn't understand what he meant. She said considerately: "Who is so outrageous, snatching my husband's food?" After saying that, she also gave him a bowl of soup, "Drink the soup first to satisfy your stomach."

The soup is shredded chicken soup, which is very fresh and simmered slowly over low heat.

Qin Fang took a sip, and then drank several sips in a row before his stomach felt better, and finally said: "I don't want to rob you. Something happened in Beast Mountain today..." Then he I told you the situation in Beast Mountain once and for all.

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she hurriedly said outside: "Aunt Lian."

Aunt Lian answered at the door: "Madam?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Mother Lian, please send someone to Xiaowei Lu's house to say to Xiaowei Yang's house that Xiaowei Lu and Xiaowei Yang are busy at the moment. They are not in the way. Don't worry about Xiaowei Lu." Mrs. Yang is worried."

Aunt Lian: "‌."

Qin Fang heard: "I have forgotten this." Men are indeed not so careful about some things.

After hearing this, Yang Haiyan said: "My lord, how can a man who does big things like me, a little girl like me, only remember trivial things?"

Qin Fang immediately said: "Where, Yan Yan is the smartest person, how can I compare to Yan Yan?"

The corners of Yang Haiyan's mouth were raised to the sky. This man is really getting better and better at talking. But: "You said you found sulfur and saltpeter in that Taoist temple?"

Yang Haiyan studied very hard back then. After her grandmother died, she was alone and had no other way out except studying, so she studied very hard and forgot all about food and sleep, so that her grades were very good. Even after more than ten years, some knowledge has been forgotten, but some knowledge is also remembered, such as □□.

□□The most important thing that the Chinese discovered was during the Han Dynasty. Moreover, sulfur is an important material for pharmaceuticals.

However, Qi Guo has not yet established his country.

It's a bit strange. Qiguo already has firecrackers, so why doesn't it have firecrackers? Qi Guo's firecrackers are Chinese fireworks, but the manufacturing principle of firecrackers is similar to that of □□, except that the amount of materials is not as large as □□, and the power is not as great as □□.

So, there are firecrackers in Qi State, why is there no firecrackers?

Yang Haiyan didn't understand this question. But: "Ms. sir, do you know what firecrackers are made of?"

Qin Fang was stunned: "I don't know." He was ashamed. Does his wife want to test him? Probably not, his wife knows he has no talent. Taking poetry as an example, he has only done it once.

Yang Haiyan said cryptically: "I mentioned in my notes that firecrackers are made of sulfur and saltpeter."

Qin Fang listened, but he still didn't understand what Yang Haiyan meant.

Seeing this, Yang Haiyan said more clearly: "So Sir, I have an idea. Since our country has sulfur and saltpeter, why not make big firecrackers? This way, when the enemy is fighting, , we just bombed them with big explosions, wouldn’t it be faster? I just don’t understand, why doesn’t the court use big firecrackers?”

When Qin Fang heard this, he was stunned at first, then put down the bowl and clasped Yang Haiyan's shoulders: "Yanyan, you are so smart, so smart..." He looked at Yang Haiyan's face with joy. After kissing her, she ran out, "Yanyan, I'm going to work. I won't be back today. You should go to bed early. Don't wait for me."

"Ms. sir..." Yang Haiyan chased after him, but the man had already run away.

Yang Haiyan shook her head helplessly, this man... But she smiled immediately, it would be great if he understood what she meant.

Although Qin Fang didn't know that Yang Haiyan deliberately reminded him, he did think of it. Why didn't the imperial court use big firecrackers to deal with the enemy? Because there is not enough sulfur and saltpeter. Why did King Liang want to build the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, because there was sulfur and saltpeter there. If a Taoist temple is built at the foot of a mountain and sulfur and saltpeter are transported from the mountain, people will definitely discover it. In this way, the imperial court will know the existence of sulfur and saltpeter and will definitely come to ask for it.

The King of Liang did not want to hand over the sulfur and saltpeter to the court.

Of course, this is what Qin Fang thinks. But it doesn't matter if it doesn't. He feels that his guess is right. There must be a lot of sulfur and saltpeter near the Taoist temple.
