Kaicheng has been washed by rain in the past two days, and mud is everywhere. On the ruins of the old house where the Su family lived, Chen Xiuping commanded the construction of many sheds in a safe place. Let’s live there first. There is only one good news in the past two days that made Chen Xiuping happy, that is, the army of the Great Liao Kingdom surrendered.

Su Xiaoke, a child, had no idea about disaster and was still running around in the mud. Seeing some people carrying stones that could still be used in the mud, Su Xiaoke dug in the mud. After Chen Xiuping saw it, he called her over.

"Son-in-law brother."

Chen Xiuping's status in the Su family has now risen to a certain level. Su Tianqi is unconscious and Suninger is pregnant, so she can't worry about these things. So Chen Xiuping can only worry about it. After caring about Su Xiaoke's injuries, Chen Xiuping told her not to run around. There was nothing to dig in the mud, and it would be difficult to bathe her if she dirty her body.

In the afternoon, the magistrate Zhao Ji learned about Su Tianqi's coma from the letter written by Chen Xiuping. He rushed over to inquire about the situation and brought Chen Xiuping two barrels of gunpowder and some food.

This gunpowder was something that Chen Xiuping remembered last time when he saw the imperial guards of the Great Liao Kingdom. With the knowledge of modern people, he could naturally use these gunpowder better. After experiencing a series of things, Chen Xiuping decided it was time to do something for self-defense.

After visiting Su Tianqi, Zhao Ji talked with Chen Xiuping about the disaster relief plan mentioned by Chen Xiuping in the earthquake and the letter. Zhao Ji didn't care at first, but Chen Xiuping was a disciple of the king, so he tried it and the effect was very good. The distribution of grain and the provision of shelter greatly reduced the riots, but the grain in the granary would be consumed after all. What should I do then?

Chen Xiuping had no plan for this, so he could only ask Zhao Ji to go back first. He thought of a solution before he could talk about it. There was no way, Zhao Ji could only leave first. There were still many things in the government office. If the method provided by Chen Xiuping was not useful, Zhao Ji would not have come to him.

After Zhao Ji left, Chen Xiuping asked his servants to move the two barrels of gunpowder in, while Ping'er and Yi'er were instructing the transport of grain. Now grain is life, and the food outside was brought to a scary price by some unscrupulous merchants. The previous riots occurred because they could not afford to buy food, so Chen Xiuping mentioned the method of distributing grain in his letter.

Not to mention, Yi'er and Ping'er's command was quite similar, and they were a little similar to Suninger before. As soon as Chen Xiuping moved the gunpowder into the room, the bored Su Xiaoke ran over. The bored Su Xiaoke can only pester Chen Xiuping to tell her stories.

"Stop telling stories, stand far away and show you something new."

Chen Xiuping took out a little gunpowder from the barrel, mixed lime according to a certain ratio, took a little and put it into a lead. After igniting it, a loud bang came from the tent.

Everyone outside gathered here, and Chen Xiuping covered Su Xiaoke's ears and stood at the door of the shed. There was a smell of gunpowder burning in not far away. Suninger walked in, smelled the smell and asked, "Is this gunpowder, my husband?"

Chen Xiuping nodded. His idea was correct. The ancients were not perfect in their use of gunpowder. A barrel of gunpowder had caused that little power. Now, after his own changes, these gunpowders have made such a big noise. As long as you add something to it, the power will be even greater.

"Okay, everyone is leaving. I'm just experimenting with things, there's no need to make a fuss."

Chen Xiuping wanted to continue experimenting, but it was difficult to perform around people. Suninger didn't leave because she was curious. If there was danger, Chen Xiuping would let her leave. She was curious that Chen Xiuping didn't seem to use much gunpowder, but the sound was so loud. Yi'er and Ping'er on the side were also standing at the door of the shed for the fun.
