Chapter 72 The base is in full swing

"Hurry up, everyone is up. It's dawn." A voice shouted.

"Sleeping a little longer. I've been working for the past two days, and I'm exhausted." A voice said in a daze.

"That's right, ignore him, let's sleep with us."

"I didn't cook much this morning. Who got up late and had no food to eat!" Li Bosheng looked at the people who couldn't get up, so he had to use his trump card.

What? Is it too late to eat? Everyone was shocked. After just two days, they could have enough to eat, and they didn't want to feel the taste of starvation anymore.

There was no sleepiness just now, and everyone was slumbering.

"That's my pants. Don't wear mine."

"Hey, why are you wearing my shoes!"

"Don't compete with me. I'm going to run to get the meal!"

In the blink of an eye, the whole house dispersed.

Li Bapi, how dare you slander us? Such a large pot of rice is enough for each of us! When they came to the cauldron outside, everyone shouted that they were fooled.

But when I smell the fragrance, the sleepiness just now is gone. Let's eat first!

If you have enough to eat, you must have to work again.

Li Bosheng looked at the crowd in front of him and was complacent.

In the past two days, he has done pure physical work. He commanded these strong laborers in Furong Village and built a earthen kiln to burn charcoal and bricks for building blast furnaces.

The task left by the eldest brother is to at least smash the saltpeter and sulfur, but he feels that he must make some achievements to show the eldest brother. He can't be compared with Shide and others. The production of the refined salt purification assembly line is very fast, and he must not be lagging behind.

** is nitrate, sulfur and charcoal. Saltpeter and sulfur only need to be crushed into powder, while charcoal needs to be made now.

How to make charcoal is naturally difficult for him, a warlock. A special earthen kiln is built, and the wood is burned in it. When it is burned halfway, the earth kiln is sealed, and the wood inside will be extinguished and eventually converted into charcoal.

In the past two days, he mainly does is to burn charcoal, cut wood, build kilns, burn fires, and close kilns. He is busy from morning to night every day, which has made these men so tired that they can lie down and fall asleep.

And today, it's finally time to open the kiln.

"Brother Li, have we almost done this job?" A small man asked, looking at Li Bosheng with eager eyes.

Li Bosheng patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, work harder, this is just the beginning."

"Big boss, let's rest for a long time!" Another voice said.

Li Bosheng frowned. It seems that he has squeezed them a little hard in the past two days, which should stimulate them.

"Brothers, do you know what we are doing now?"

"I was swayed by you to work. Who knows, I came here and became a long-term worker."

"Wrong, it's not by me. You are working for yourselves! Do you know what we are doing now?

"Burn charcoal."

"What do we do when we burn charcoal?"

"Let's spend the winter!"

"Winter, you are still half a year away from winter!"

Li Bosheng looked at everyone being attracted by his own words and then said, "Think about it, you have lived a good life on your own land. Who slandered you as a pole and who ruined your family?"

"It's Li Zheng, the son of a bitch! We want revenge!"

"Yes, what we are doing now is for revenge. What we are doing now is charcoal. When we grind saltpeter and sulfur into pieces and mix them together, we can make a powerful artillery and blow up Li Zheng!"

"What? So these are the raw materials for making cannonballs? Everyone was talking about it.

Gomb began to appear in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, it had been used to make fireworks, but it was only in the hands of a few craftsmen. For ordinary people, even if they saw the beautiful fireworks in the night sky in big cities during the Spring Festival, they didn't know how they were made.

When they heard that these were weapons for revenge, everyone became furious.

"Yes, blow up Li Zheng and avenge my mother!"

"Ravenge my family of five!"

Li Bosheng looked at everyone with satisfaction: "Then work!"

Now everyone no longer complained. After eating, they began to get busy.

Well, the effect is not bad, but the work I have to do today is more tiring, because it is necessary to mash saltpetre and sulfur into powder, which is a physical work.

Li Bosheng patrolled back and forth, guiding everyone to work.

Suddenly, he felt that everyone had an abnormal reaction. Why did he suddenly stop his work, his eyes were dull, and he looked ahead?

He looked at the place where everyone was staring, and a familiar figure stood there.

The figure is slim and light, like a gust of wind, blowing slowly from a distance.

"Miss Ruohan, you're here!" Li Bosheng shouted respectfully.

A few days ago, he sent refined salt for coarse salt and brought Liu Ruohan to the island by the way. Li Bosheng knew that this was his eldest brother's move here in advance. He had to be careful not to make any mistakes. Otherwise, he was seen by Liu Ruohan and told his eldest brother that he would have a good fruit to eat.

"What are you looking at? This is our future sister-in-law. Hurry up and work!" Li Bosheng scolded the crowd.

Hearing the words "future sister-in-law", Liu Ruohan blushed slightly, "Brother Bo Sheng, even you have come to make fun of me!"

"Where, Miss Ruohan, do you have any instructions?" Li Bosheng asked.

"What instructions don't indicate? After I came here, I had nothing to do. I just looked around to see if there was anything I could help."

Don't come here, just do me the biggest favor. With you, I don't have the right time to do anything. Li Bosheng thought to himself, but he said, "It's all the work done by the old men here, and you can't help here. Let's go and see Shide!"

The ball is kicked to Shide. Anyway, they will be a family in the future.

Liu Ruohan didn't mean to leave: "I just came from them, Brother Bo Sheng, what are you doing?" She asked curiously.

Some of the people in front of them are lifting black things out of the cave, and some are pounding things with stone hammers in the open space in front of them. Inside the things, there are yellow, white and black, which look very beautiful.

"According to the eldest brother's instructions, we are making black gunpowder and preparing to equip more powerful fires in the future." Li Bosheng said.

"Oh, my sister-in-law is also here!" Another voice came to my ear.

The two looked up, and it turned out that Tang He had arrived.

"How can you even laugh at me!" Liu Ruohan pretended to be angry, but his heart was as beautiful as honey.

These days, the easiest thing is to count the soup and peace. When everyone is busy, he only needs to take a combo crossbow and lead a few "leisure" young men to wander around the island. Occasionally, he can eat roast duck and have a good life.

"Let me see, if you have a lot of people here, you have to build a few more houses. Our base will be expanded in the future to recruit more people. This is what the eldest brother ordered." Tang He said.

"No, I don't have enough people here, and I want you to draw two people for me." Li Bosheng pushed him back hard.

"Then I'll go to Shide. It seems that their salt is about to be purified again."

Are they done with their work? No, you should also help me. I have to build a blast furnace and wait for iron smelting! Li Bosheng looked at Tang He's distant back and didn't have time to talk again.
