Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 282 The Quick-witted Zheng Jing

"Your Majesty, if you really intend to do this, then this old servant will not play today no matter what."

Seeing the two acting suspiciously, Eunuch Wei was ready to quit immediately.

"Hey, Lao Wei, I was just joking with the Taoist priest. Just kidding. Come on, let's play cards!"

Seeing that Eunuch Wei was somewhat angry, Zhou Shixun immediately put on a smiling face.

Chu Chen looked at the three of them with a helpless expression, then stepped out of the Imperial Study!

He headed straight for the streets of the capital; he had no intention of wandering around the palace.

If one were to accidentally wander into the courtyard of a princess, there would be no way to explain oneself.

I'm not afraid of Zhou Shixun holding me accountable, but I'm afraid that old bastard will give the princess to me in marriage.

Looking at Zhou Shixun's appearance, how good-looking could his daughter possibly be...? This is someone you absolutely cannot mess with!

The streets of the capital were still bustling with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares.

Originally, a severe drought was expected after the heavy snow, but thanks to Zhou Shixun's timely promotion of sweet potatoes, they are now being grown in many places.

The policy of "rebuilding homes" was also promoted well, although the people of Daxia did not live as well as they did before the disaster.

But at least there was no large-scale influx of refugees.

The capital city was even more prosperous, and nothing from the outside could possibly affect the area around the imperial city.

If the capital falls, Zhou Shixun will lose all interest in playing cards.

As they walked, Zheng Jing suddenly appeared in front of Chu Chen, holding an iron pipe in his hand.

Upon seeing Chu Chen's arrival, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Uncle, where are you going?"

"Just strolling around, what are you doing with that pipe?"

Chu Chen took the iron pipe from his hand and asked in confusion.

Seeing this, Zheng Jing quickly pulled Chu Chen aside and whispered something in his ear.

"Uncle, I have an idea. What do you think about putting gunpowder in this tube, lighting it, and then inserting an iron ball in front of the gunpowder? Wouldn't that allow us to use the force of the gunpowder to propel it a long way?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen was immediately astonished and opened his mouth wide, thinking to himself, "This kid is too damn smart."

I really don't know what's going on in his head.

Isn't this the same principle behind the bird guns that my parents used to shoot birds when I was a child?

However, he didn't point it out, but said to him thoughtfully, "Since you have an idea, then do more experiments. What if it works?"

Then he looked at the pipe again.

After examining it, he said to him, "If you drill a small hole at the bottom of this tube, wouldn't it be much easier to ignite it?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jing immediately began to ponder. Suddenly, he exclaimed to Chu Chen with delight, "Yes, Uncle! How come I didn't think of that? Hahaha, thank you for your guidance, Uncle!"

"No rush. What if you enlarge this tube a hundred times and stuff it with a hundred times more gunpowder and a hundred times larger iron ball?"

Chu Chen patted his head and then said with a smile.

After listening, Zheng Jing suddenly froze, as if a door to a new world had been opened.

A barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth!

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Chu Chen did not disturb him, but turned and left.

He muttered under his breath, "Damn this kid, in a few years he'll be able to make guns and cannons."

However, no matter how well Zheng Jing crafted his weapon, it couldn't compare to the one in his hand.

The power of black powder is there; no matter how you manipulate it, you can't create the high-explosive gunpowder inside a bullet, nor the complex structure of a firearm.

When Zheng Jing regained consciousness, he found that Chu Chen had already left and disappeared into the crowd.

He then smiled in the direction Chu Chen had left, and then ran like the wind towards the gunpowder research factory.

After wandering around for a while, Chu Chen returned to the mansion.

Upon entering the house, one could see Chen Qingxuan excitedly counting his silver coins.

"You idiot, let me tell you, we had a great day. We'll go play cards with His Majesty again tomorrow."

Seeing Chen Qingxuan's excited expression, Chu Chen realized that he had originally planned to invite him back to Qingyun City, but now it seemed impossible to persuade him to leave anytime soon.

But it's good, I need to go out and explore on my own.

Currently, he has no shortage of money, and for the Great Xia, the threat has been eliminated.

Moreover, the seeds of sweet potatoes and potatoes were preserved, and with gradual development, the Great Xia Dynasty will bid farewell to the era of hunger in just a few years.

Once Zheng Jing has built the cannon and the musket, Zhou Shixun will probably not be idle and will go around bullying other countries.

I've been in this world for so long, and I haven't even finished exploring the entire Great Xia Kingdom yet.

I've heard that to the west of Great Xia, there are many small countries, most of which are vassal states of Great Xia.

Ganpu's national treasure jade expanded his space and even created a spring that could enhance his strength.

Perhaps, among those vassal states of the Great Xia, there are unexpected treasures.

Therefore, Chu Chen planned to return to Qingyun City to settle things at home.

After raising his strength to the seventh rank, he began his journey westward.

Moreover, I will not be bringing anyone with me this time; I will go alone.

Silently waiting for Chen Qingxuan to finish counting the money, Chu Chen told him about his idea.

Without turning his head, Chen Qingxuan said, "It's good to go out for a walk. Now that you have the strength of a sixth-rank cultivator, plus the hidden weapons you have, there probably isn't anyone who can kill you."

"Go ahead and don't worry. If you always rely on your brother to protect you, you'll never grow up."

Seeing Chen Qingxuan's earnest expression, Chu Chen blurted out "Get lost" and went into the room.

The next day, Chu Chen got up very early. After leaving Chen Qingxuan an SUV and a lot of gasoline, he drove towards Qingyun City.

A few days later, a brand-new red BJ80 entered Qingyun City, while the old one was left in the capital by Chu Chen.

So another one was copied from the space.

A short while later, Chu Chen picked up a walkie-talkie and gave instructions.

The protection, infrastructure, production, and daily life of Peach Blossom Fairy Island; all the jade from the jade mines are concentrated in Qingyun City; and a super-large warehouse is to be built in Mashan Village, and so on!

The next day, he went to the children's house in Qingyun City, gave Chu Er some supplies and silver, and then headed towards Mashan Village.

Half a month later, a super-large warehouse was excavated in the back mountain of Mashan Village.

Chu Chen spent ten days filling the warehouse with supplies and then locking the door.

He tossed the key to Chu Dazhuang and instructed him not to open it unless absolutely necessary.

Over the years, the villagers of Mashan Village have followed Chu Chen, receiving numerous pay raises along the way, and have made a fortune.

As people's living standards improved, their gratitude towards Chu Chen deepened even further.

It took several more months to give Li Qinglian and the others plenty of injections.

What's even more busy is that his cultivation level has now reached the seventh rank, making it easy for him to dodge bullets.

Before he knew it, the new year had begun. Chu Chen drove a red BJ80 out of Mashan Village and headed west towards Daxia.
