Chapter 009: Talk less and think more

Without further ado, you should continue to suffer from chaos.

Especially now, it is still near the official road in broad daylight, and changes occur later.

He knew that Changsun Chong would never let him survive today.

"Changsun Chong, this is what you asked for. Don't you like to take over? I'll send you a good place, which is very suitable for you..."

After saying that, his mind moved, and the range of ten meters was empty, and Han Meng did not stop, and many people were outside his mind.

Fortunately, the followers of the outside suddenly saw the people in front of them disappear instantly, and were stunned, which gave Han Meng plenty of time.

After a few rounds and turns, all the people disappeared, and Han Meng quickly pulled Liu Mang'er, who was also stunned, and ran towards the woods in the distance.

While running, he was watching around, fearing that the mysterious scene just now would be seen.

Fortunately, no one is everywhere in sight.

But just in case, he decided to enter the city with a different gate.

After entering the woods, sit down and rest, and observe the situation at the same time.

"Everyone is gone." Liu Mang'er muttered a little confused.

"They all went home and went to have dinner." Han Meng explained with a smile. He believed that as long as Liu Mang'er heard about food, there would be no problem with anything.

Sure enough, Liu Mang'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately threw the strange thing out of the sky, and also looked at Han Meng.

Han Meng was in a good mood and accidentally solved Changsun Chong. There should be no crisis in the future, so he took out two apples and gave one to Liu Mang'er.

The two of them sat in the woods and started eating.

But Han Meng was looking at America with his mind. This time he sent these people directly to the place where the gold mines and indigenous tribes were discovered.

If both sides encounter a fight, he would be happy to see it.

He also wanted to see if the Tang Dynasty was fierce or the Indians were even more cruel. This would be a reference and he would have a idea in his heart when dealing with Indians in the future.

As for what happened to Changsun Chong and others who disappeared like this, Han Meng felt that it had nothing to do with him.

After thinking about it all, he didn't think that he would be suspected. After all, these people were going to hunt and disappeared on the way back to the city, which should be an unsolved mystery.

No longer thinking about this, he is a small landlord, and I believe he can't get into the eyes of the powerful and powerful, and he doesn't have that weight.

After eating the apple, he got up and prepared to enter the city, bypassed Qujiangchi, and prepared to enter from Yanxingmen to the east.

After that, there was nothing unexpected happening. When Han Meng entered the city, he first found an inn and stayed in a hotel.

The so-called "tips" is actually eating. The first floor of the street store is basically the place to eat, and the upstairs or backyards are the ones to sleep.

Han Meng stayed in the inn near Dongshi. It was convenient for him to exchange gold, that is, the jewelry store in Dongshi, and the civilians in Dongshi, the powerful and powerful people in West.

Therefore, you don’t need to consider going to the West Market when you exchange gold. Of course, if you have successfully exchanged and get money, you still have to go to the West Market.

Everything was done, and it was getting late, and Liu Mang'er and others came to the street shop to prepare for supper.

Dinner was very simple, with two bowls of soup cakes and ten steamed cakes. Han Meng drank a bowl of soup cakes. The rest were eaten by Liu Mang'er. Not many people ate in the restaurant, and they were all businessmen.

There are two other Hu people, with fur all over their bodies and boots all in cowhide. They have thick black and red faces and two braids on both sides.

This hairstyle and face plate are similar to that of Indians, but there are fewer bird feathers on their heads.

Han Meng looked at himself and Liu Mang'er, and he was wearing such a terrible dress. He had to change money and buy some new clothes quickly. He really couldn't afford to lose this person.

After finishing a bowl of soup cakes, he saw that Liu Mang'er was still eating. He was not in a hurry. There was a table of people next to the store, drinking and laughing.

"What you said is true or false? The Taoist priest exploded himself to death with alchemy?"

"Of course it's true. At noon, Wannian County Government had sent people out of the city and rushed to the Xishan Taoist Temple."

"It's not uncommon for this Taoist priest to refine alchemy and even burn the house, but as you said, the entire Taoist temple collapsed this time, isn't it too exaggerated?"

"What an exaggeration..."

He roughly understood what to talk about, but Han Meng looked shocked.

This is a fucking trouble!

What a pity!

The Taoist priest was bombed to death.

Suddenly, Han Meng had a light of inspiration and remembered something. It seemed that he had seen it in that book that black gunpowder was potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal.

He remembered it now.

When Han Meng thought of the main ingredient of gunpowder, he was very surprised. Although he didn't know the specific ratio, as long as he continued to experiment and explore, he would definitely find the most powerful ratio.

However, after the surprise, I remembered the current iron smelting technology and instantly lost my interest.

Of course, gunpowder still needs to be studied if you have time. You can’t make a gun. Can’t make a grenade?

After Liu Mang'er finished eating and paid, the two of them went out and started shopping.

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, the night market in Chang'an City was not very prosperous. The doors would be closed when it was dark in the east and west markets, and the market would only open at night during festivals.

However, although the East and West City closed early, there were many shops on each street in each building, and various commodities were bought and sold.

Of course, most of them are restaurants, and there are brothels and brothels.

But gambling is impossible, because all gambling was prohibited in the early Tang Dynasty, and it gradually became a formality after Emperor Gaozong of Tang.

But now Li Shimin is very strict about this. Not only those who participate in gambling, but those who open casinos and provide gambling tools are all punished. The minimum number is 100, and most of them are considered as the crime of stealing.

Han Meng also saw garment shops, clinics, and shops selling various groceries.

From this point of view, it can be seen that the so-called East-West Market is just a large market with a relatively concentrated population. It is impossible for a city with dozens or millions of people to go to the East-West Market to buy and sell goods.

In fact, in Chang'an, there are workshops and shops everywhere, especially blacksmith shops, and there are one or two stores on any street.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the foundation and also people's livelihood.

Weaving cloth to buy cloth, wooden bowls and iron pots, wine shops and restaurants, carriages and horses transport...

At this time, Han Meng and Liu Mang'er arrived at the door of a blacksmith shop.

This blacksmith shop is quite large and is a large workshop. After checking out the plaque at the door, it is Yuchi Iron Shop.

Han Meng guessed that this shop might be the shop of Yuchi Gong, the Duke of E.

It seems that when I read the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the past, Yuchi Gong was born as a blacksmith?

I'm really going back to my old job.

There are various iron tools in front of the Yuchi iron shop, including bows, arrows and knives. There are jingling iron sounds from the shop. Obviously, the craftsmen have not yet rested at this time.

I was just watching the lights, but I was still working.

Han Meng did not enter the store, but just looked outside to see which iron tools were there because he was considering whether to customize a set of stoves.

That is, the iron stove that burns coal, and the flue is also iron, which can cook and water, and keep warm. You don’t have much worry about gas poisoning.

This flue leads to the outside, which is relatively safe. Yes, it is just relatively safe and does not guarantee absolute safety.

Because in the 21st century, the furnaces for heating in the north were poisoned and died of poisoning every year, and that was the coal that had been desulfurized.

He has seen news about this and was deeply impressed.

It is conceivable how dangerous the coal in this era has not been desulfurized.

Therefore, he did not plan to do such a business because those who could afford this kind of full iron stove and those who had the money and power to buy a cast iron flue were all rich and powerful.

If one person is poisoned to death, he will not be able to take it.

Of course, this kind of stove can also burn charcoal, but charcoal is not burned.

Ordinary people can't afford it. In this era, a small iron hoe costs seventy or eighty cents. This set of iron furnace and flue must be more than one or two cents.

Even higher, the cost cannot be reduced. The price of pig iron is there, and the cast iron process is even more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In this era when a bucket of flour was only over 30 yuan, this kind of stove was a sky-high price for the people.

Just now, the two of them ate two bowls of soup cakes and ten large steamed cakes, which cost only eight cents.

It is conceivable what the stove with a few cents of money is for the people.

Han Meng wanted to customize one, but he didn't plan to put the stove in the bedroom.

It is prepared to be placed in the living room for heating, and can also cook water, boil tea and grill food, and even eat hot pot.

As for the kitchen, he would redesign a stove, just like the ones in later rural areas, with a special chimney, so that cooking and cooking would not be smoky and clean.

In the bedroom, there must be a kang. Nothing is better than a kang. Even if it is tens of degrees below zero, as long as there is a kang, you can still sweat.

In the end, Han Meng did not enter the store and continued to stroll.

As a modern man, he was a newcomer to the Tang Dynasty, and he maintained the principle of saying less and looking more and thinking more.
