wild trail

Chapter 296
Although the process of scraping the nitrate in the septic tank is slow, after nearly a year of collection, the stock of nitrate powder in Xia Kingdom is still relatively objective. Except that most of it is used to produce gunpowder, the rest is used to improve people's livelihood.

The method of using nitrate to make ice is not too difficult. Although Wang Lang has not done any experiments in this area before, he does not lack theoretical knowledge. After several attempts, he made ice cubes easily.

After the test was successful, Wang Lang did not hide his secrets, and immediately handed over this method to the Ministry of Industry.

Staying near ice cubes in hot weather is definitely a very cool thing, but nitrate is an extremely precious resource, even if he is an emperor, he would not dare to be so extravagant.

Ice cubes can only be used at the trade station to maximize its value, and the enjoyment can only be discussed later when nitrate mines are discovered.

Mu Feng felt the coolness in his hands, and was deeply curious about such a magical thing as ice. As a minister of the Ministry of Industry, he naturally knew what nitrate was. He thought it was just one of the materials of gunpowder. Being able to have such a use, I couldn't help but increase my respect for Wang Lang.

Carrying fresh ingredients, Mufeng walked along the flat street towards his home.

Almost all the homes of courtiers in Xia Kingdom are in the inner city, which is also the most prosperous place in the world.

Received the bustling pedestrians coming to Wanglang, there are even some private vendors on the roadside selling the prey they caught, or some daily necessities made by themselves, and some rough accessories.

The changes in Yancheng are so great today that Mu Dangerous is a little unrecognizable.

While Mu Feng was slowly feeling the difference in Yancheng, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Mu Shangshu!"

Mu Feng heard the sound and looked back, and saw that Kong Er was walking towards him with several people.

"Kong Shangshu, long time no see!" Mu Feng smiled.

Kong Er patted Mu Feng's shoulder and said with a smile: "When did you come back, why is there no news at all."

"I also just came back today. I just talked to His Majesty about the situation in the harbor. I am really planning to return home. I wonder where Kong Shangshu is going now?" Mu Feng said lightly.

Kong Er said: "What can I do? It's not that this season's taxes have just been collected, and I have only rested for a few days. I just met you today. How about going to eat for the sky with me and have a few drinks."

"This... I just bought some food and I'm about to go home, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient." Mu Feng hesitated for a while, shook the things in his hand, and said apologetically.

Kong Er looked at the things in Mu Feng's hand, and his eyes fell on the golden hairpin. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Unexpectedly, Mu Shangshu still loves his wife. I didn't notice it just now. I won't bother you and me today." Madam Zun is reunited, if there is nothing to do tomorrow, you can come and eat, let's have a good get together."

Mu Feng smiled and said: "Definitely, tomorrow Mu will definitely come."

"Then I won't bother you any more. Farewell!" Kong Er cupped his hands and hurried away with his guards.

"Food is the sky!" Mu Feng muttered in a low voice, shook his head, and walked towards home.

Pushing open the courtyard door of his own house, seeing a woman who was drying clothes, Mu Feng suddenly felt warm in his heart, and stood quietly by the courtyard door, watching the woman busy.

When the woman saw Mu Feng standing in front of the courtyard, she was startled, "Why are you standing there without making a sound, my heart almost jumped out of fright."

Mu Feng smiled, and said: "Seeing Madam working so hard, I'm a little dumbfounded, hehe."

Hearing this, Mrs. Mu blushed inexplicably, and said, "Why did you come back so soon, have you finished talking with His Majesty?"

Mu Feng nodded, and said: "Your Majesty saw that I had been away from home for so long, so he didn't keep me longer. I sold some wine and meat for a while, so you can get it!"

Mrs. Mu took the wine and meat, frowned and said: "I still have a lot of food at home, why did I buy so much? I agree to spoil the meat at home. Why don't you just go to the trading station whenever you want to eat it?" Buy fresh."

Mu Feng laughed lightly when he heard the words: "Where are there so many words, it's hard to come back for a few days, let's have a extravagance today, just like what His Majesty said, drinking and eating meat, right, child?"

"Gong'er has just fallen asleep, don't wake him up, he doesn't know you yet, he will start crying when he wakes up, it sounds like he has a headache." Mrs. Mu said softly.

Mu Feng nodded, took out the hairpin from his belt, and said, "This is for you."

Seeing this hairpin, Mrs. Mu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "The butterfly hairpin is exactly the same as the queen's. How could you buy such an expensive thing?"

Mu Feng didn't answer her words, but said: "If you buy it, you will buy it. Why are there so many, why not bring it for a try."

Mrs. Mu happily took the hairpin, carefully inserted it in her hair, hurried to the side of the water tank, and looked at her own appearance in front of the reflection in the water tank.

Looking at his wife wearing a butterfly hairpin, Mu Feng muttered to himself: "This woman really looks different after having this extra thing."

"Thank you, Husband." Mrs. Mu said happily.

Mu Feng smiled and said: "Don't take pictures, I'll go to sleep for a while, wake me up when the meal is ready."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mu hurried forward to take off Mu Feng's clothes, and hung them aside.

Just as Mu Feng was enjoying the family reunion at home, five riders galloped towards Yancheng on the grassland north of Yancheng.

When he arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city immediately stopped him, "Who is it!"

"We are under the command of General Shi Yue. We have documents for His Majesty. Please open the door!" The leading cavalry said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the defenders of the city said with a blank expression: "Riding is prohibited in the city, and please get off the deer."

The cavalryman was taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't know when there were more rules here, but he didn't look like he was trying to make things difficult, so he ordered: "All the deer."

Seeing this, the harvest soldiers waved their hands, and the heavy wooden door slowly opened.

After the cavalry entered the city, they suddenly realized that the place had changed so much, and they were stunned for a while, not knowing where to go.

The leading cavalryman came to his senses first, and said: "Don't look at it, it's important to send the documents to His Majesty first."

After everyone heard the words, they led the giant deer and hurried towards the inner city.

In the "Palace", Wang Lang looked at the animal skin in his hand. Since Shi Yue used charcoal to write it on it, after such a long journey, the handwriting was a little blurred, but Wang Lang still managed to make out the meaning on it.

Putting away the documents, he said to the cavalrymen: "I have read the documents of General Shi. When you go back, tell him that the supplies will be delivered in a short time. Let Shi Yue and Zhao Jian arrest those savages as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Several soldiers responded in unison.
