Cao Shu hasn't been to the craftsman's workshop for a long time.

When he heard that he was coming, the craftsmen and guards came out one after another.

Everyone bowed and bowed.

With his eyes falling on the head craftsman's face, Cao Shuo asked, "How many people are there?"

The craftsman who leads the lead looks only thirty or forty years old.

Due to his heavy physical work for many years, his palms are covered with thick calluses.

Cao Shuo asked how many people there were here, and the craftsman who led the lead replied: "Report to the young master, four craftsmen and twenty guards."

"There are only so many people left." Cao Shuo said: "There were quite a few craftsmen in the craftsman workshop at the time."

"At the time when the young master ordered that all those who were capable of going to Penglai, only a few of us who were not very capable stayed here to guard the house." The craftsman replied.

Cao Shu knew that he was not being modest, but was telling the truth.

Anyone with ability will of course take away all the Penglai craft workshops.

Those who stayed behind to stay at home were generally in poor health or had average craftsmanship, and those who brought them to Penglai would not make much achievements.

Cao Shuo walked past the craftsmen and guards without saying a word.

After entering the craftsman's workshop, he asked the craftsman: "How much gunpowder is left here?"

"Not left at all." The craftsman who was with him replied: "The craftsman workshop now only repairs armor and polishes weapons, and even if there is gunpowder, it cannot be used."

"If you were asked to recreate it, can you create it?" Cao Shuo asked again.

The craftsman replied: "The gunpowder formula is simple. If the young master needs it, we can still make it."

"Make some." Cao Shu ordered.

Most of the things in the craftsman's workshop were taken away, but a small amount of gunpowder was left behind.

The craftsmen found out the materials and fryed gunpowder according to the method taught by Cao Shu.

The method of making gunpowder is simple, and within a short while they made a bucket.

Carrying a bucket full of gunpowder and putting it aside, several craftsmen looked at Cao Shu.

"I remember there should be paper here." Cao Shu ordered again: "Take some over and make some yellow mud."

Everyone, including Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao, knew what Cao Shu wanted to do.

Although he was confused, the craftsman still found paper and yellow mud as Cao Shu told him.

"Give me the paper." When asked for paper from the craftsman, Cao Shuo tore off a long one first.

Then he squatted on the ground and twisted some gunpowder and sprinkled it on it.

Sprinkle gunpowder evenly, and he rolled up the paper again.

When he rolled it, he tried very hard until it was rolled up. The long strip of paper had become a slender paper pole.

When Cao Shu did this, all the craftsmen showed a sudden look.

But they didn't understand what the use of such a slender paper pole could be?

Use it to conquer cities?

It seems to be too small.

After making a fuse and stuffing it into the paper pole, Cao Shu asked Deng Zhan to mix the yellow mud into a paste.

Paint the yellow mud into the paper pole with gunpowder, and Cao Shu threw it aside.

"What are you doing?" Deng Zhan couldn't help asking.

"Firecrackers." Cao Shu grinned: "Gunpowder can not only be used for war, but also creates an atmosphere during festivals."

The Spring Festival has not yet become a festive festival for people in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Spring Festival was even seen as a symbol of unluckyness.

"What is the best way to create an atmosphere during the New Year?" Deng Zhan said: "At that time, officials from all over the country led the villagers to worship the world and drive away evil spirits."

"The firecrackers exist to drive away evil spirits." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I have seen officials from all over the country to drive away evil spirits. They made some fine bamboos and threw them into the fire, making a crackling sound to eliminate evil spirits with sounds."

Cao Shuo held the firecrackers and shook his eyes in front of Deng Zhan and others: "With this, you won't have to burn bamboo to drive away evil spirits in the future."

"Come on fire!" He ordered Deng Zhan.

Deng Zhan waved his hand at a guard.

The guard left and ran back with a torch in a while.

Take the torch from the guards, Deng Zhan looked at Cao Shu.

Putting the only firecracker on the ground, Cao Shu ordered: "Light the fuse and open your mouth slightly."

"The others retreated." Cao Shu gave instructions to everyone beside him again.

I have seen the power of bombs. Although the firecrackers are small and are made of paper, everyone still retreats one after another.

Deng Zhan was also nervous when he held the torch and moved forward.

He arched his right leg and straightened his left leg, and held the torch in his right hand and carefully approached the fuse of the firecracker.

Looking at Deng Zhan's appearance, Cao Shu felt a little funny.

"General Deng, do you want me to go there in person?" Cao Shu shouted.

Deng Zhan looked back at him, swallowed, and slapped his teeth and handed the torch forward.

The flames burned to the fuse.

With a slight "swish", the fuse burned quickly and entered the firecrackers with twinkling Mars.

Deng Zhan opened his mouth and lit the fuse and was about to run back. The crisp "pop" sound scared him.

He turned around in surprise and the firecrackers on the ground were gone.

Near the firecrackers are placed, there are some paper confetti broken into irregular fragments.

Picking up a piece of paper from the ground, Deng Zhan looked at Cao Shu in surprise.

"It's really done." Cao Shuo smiled and told the craftsmen present: "Make one or two thousand heads according to my method just now. Make a fuse together and connect it into a long list. It needs to be crafted neatly and beautifully crafted."

Although he was still confused, the craftsmen agreed.

As long as you can make firecrackers as Cao Shuo does, weaving will no longer be a problem.

"How long will it take?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"It takes a whole day for four of us." One of the craftsmen replied.

"The speed is too slow." Cao Shuo said: "In the future, except for repairing armor and polishing weapons, you will spend all your time making firecrackers. Four people can make a thousand-sounding firecracker in one day. What should you do if someone needs ten thousand or ten thousand sounds?"

The craftsmen looked at each other. They didn't dare to imagine how long it would take for hundreds of thousands of firecrackers to be crafted.

"There is nothing to worry about." Cao Shuo saw their doubts: "It is just a skillful way to prepare firecrackers. When you become proficient, I will instruct the local government to select a group of people to come here to help."

"Young Master wants..." The four craftsmen looked at him blankly.

"I want to make firecrackers in batches and sell them out." Cao Shuo said: "You will be my God of Wealth in the future, so you have to do it well!"

"I will do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best!" The craftsmen responded in unison.

"When making firecrackers, remember not to expose them in the sun, nor to pile them together and never turn them over." Cao Shuo explained: "What is particularly important is not to have open fires! Once the firecrackers explode, their power can be greater than that of bombs."

When the firecracker made by Cao Shu exploded, the craftsmen secretly found it funny.

They witnessed the power of the bomb when it exploded.
