Chapter 424
Before, Bailixiu told Zhu Biao about the two shortcomings of this firecracker. One is that it is troublesome to reload, and the shooting speed is faster than bows and arrows. The second is that they are afraid of water and rain. It will also be affected to a certain extent, but it can still shoot, but if the gunpowder is wet, it will be completely impossible to fight.

For the ancients of this era, the weather is not something that can be controlled if they want to control it. Besides, if Bei Yuan is exhausted with you, he just won’t fight with you. The firecrackers in the book became fire sticks.

So thinking of this, Zhu Biao immediately said to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Father, before, during the military battle, when Mr. Baili instructed my son to make a new type of firecracker, he once said that the two biggest drawbacks of firecrackers are slow reloading speed and fear of wet and rainy weather. Under the guidance of my husband, I made this new type of firecracker with a high rate of fire, but from the appearance of my husband, I should be able to solve the problem of the firecracker’s fear of rain and humidity! Therefore, I want to solve the problem of the firecracker’s fear of rain. Mass production later!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Biao's words, he also understood what Zhu Biao meant. After all, if the problem of the fire gun's fear of rain is not resolved, then the cavalry of Mu Beiyuan may avoid the battle when the sky is fine, and wait until it rains. It was time for a surprise attack, and after fighting with Bei Yuan for so long, Bei Yuan naturally understood the big problem with the firecracker.

Of course, the more important thing is that if a firecracker that is not afraid of rain is really produced later, then this means that the hard-working firecrackers made earlier will be in vain, so Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and said to Zhu Biao:
"One month, I will give you one month. If the problem of the firecracker not being afraid of rain can be solved within one month, then produce a firecracker that is not afraid of rain. If it cannot be solved, then produce this kind of fast-firing firecracker. Bar!"

When Zhu Biao heard the words, he nodded to express his understanding, and then Zhu Biao resigned. After all, he had to go back to his East Palace for dinner!
When Zhu Biao showed Zhu Yuanzhang this new style of firecracker, Bailixiu had already had dinner. Of course, the meal Bailixiu ate was not delicacies from mountains and seas, just ordinary braised pork with rice That's all.

Of course, although the meat used to make braised pork at this time is pork, it could not be called pork in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the pig is still the same pig, but the name is no longer that name.

You must know that pigs have always been an important source of meat in China. They have a long history in China. On China's land, pigs have been raised as early as the period of matrilineal clan communes.Pig is one of the five domestic animals including cattle, dogs, sheep, pigs, and chickens. It is also one of the twelve Chinese zodiac signs. In ancient times, pigs were often used to represent wealth and fertility.

Pigs are not suitable for nomadic migration like cattle, sheep, and dogs. In the animal husbandry economy of nomadic peoples, pigs are difficult animals to raise, but they are natural meat providers for farming peoples like us. It plays an important role in life and interest, and is even a necessity in the life of the ancients.

But here comes the problem. In feudal society, it is necessary to avoid taboos, that is, in the imperial era, you must avoid directly speaking or writing the names of monarchs and elders to show respect. Sage taboo" This is a general principle of taboos in ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty, the surname Zhu was undoubtedly the most taboo. So what should be done about the homonym of Zhu and pig?Huang's surname is homonymous with pig, what should the pig in Ming Dynasty be called?Do Ming Dynasty people still eat pork?
You must know that there were still many literary inquisitions in the history of the Ming Dynasty, especially during the period of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in the grassroots. Those with low self-esteem, so after ascending the throne, all sentences with words such as thief and baldness will be strictly investigated. Once the situation is found and verified, they will be killed immediately.

However, having said that, because Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, he also knew the hardships of ordinary people, so he didn’t care much about pigs, the main source of meat for people in daily life. Fat".

Due to the tolerance of the Zhu Ming regime, pork could be called pork in most of the Ming Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, most emperors would not care about the homophony of "Zhu" and "pig". Zhu Yuanzhang once wrote a A couplet was given to the pig slaughterer, which shows that the Ming Dynasty did not strictly prohibit eating pork, and pork was also a favorite of the emperors, and pork was included in all three meals a day.

However, because of the fear of imperial power, the common people still called pork pork or pig meat, and in ancient times, pigs had another name, called "pork" or "pig".

However, there are exceptions to everything. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, when Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was in power, because not only his surname was Zhu but also his zodiac sign was a pig, he made a rule that the people were not allowed to slaughter and eat pork, and asked to use mutton instead.

However, this regulation has not been implemented for a long time. In the second year, in order to sacrifice to the ancestors, officials all over the city ran around, but they still could not find a pig that could be slaughtered to honor the ancestors. This behavior is undoubtedly an offense to the ancestors.

Faced with such an embarrassing situation, Ming Wuzong knew that it was because of his own order, and felt guilty. In the end, in order not to neglect his ancestors and conform to public opinion, Ming Wuzong abolished this regulation.Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, there were no more wonderful regulations about the folks not being able to raise pigs.

So the braised pork that Bai Lixiu is eating now should be called braised pork.

After Bai Lixiu had dinner and washed the dishes, because she was free, she couldn't help thinking that the Wheel-Running King, Zeng Jing and the others were all masters of close combat with swords, so she planned to practice swords as well.

After all, Bai Lixiu has a copy of the supreme swordsmanship in martial arts, Dugu Nine Swords in his hand!
If Bai Lixiu had practiced the Dugu Nine Swords, then dealing with Zeng Jing's water-avoiding sword would not be a matter of rushing.

To be honest, Bai Lixiu feels that Dugu Nine Swords is quite difficult to practice. Although Dugu Nine Swords has many moves, the key to harmony lies in winning without moves. trick.

To be honest, Bai Lixiu doesn't quite understand this concept. This is different from Jiuyang Magic and Yiyang Finger. They both focus on the cultivation of internal strength. Once the internal strength is reached, walk along the meridian route of Yungong That's fine.

Moreover, Bailixiu's Yiyang finger has his super precision blessing, which can 100% hit wherever he points, so you only need to point, point, point to make a move. The trick, isn't it just looking for trouble!

And this Dugu Nine Swords emphasizes that there is no trick to win, that is to see other people's tricks, that is, the flaws in the movements, and then attack their flaws!
Thinking about it, Xiang Bailixiu couldn't help but think of the four swords in the Sword Tomb of Condor Heroes.
