Chapter 147: In-depth communication.
Ye Kun nodded and explained:
"The horses were frightened because they had never experienced such a loud noise before. After several tests, the horses found that there was no actual damage and were no longer afraid. Therefore, we need to do more tests before the large-scale use of thunder bombs so that our horses can adapt."
The above words are not just Ye Kun’s nonsense.
When bombs were first used on the battlefield, war horses were indeed afraid of them.
But after a while, it doesn’t matter. The cavalrymen in World War II often charged under fire because they had so much experience.
When the tank was first invented, dogs were scared and ran around.
Later, after seeing it more often, the dog was no longer afraid. Some countries deliberately threw bones under tanks to make the dogs form the habit of foraging under tanks. During war, they tied explosives to the dogs and let them blow up enemy tanks.
Shangguan Jifu nodded: "Brother Dalang is right. It was the first time I heard such a loud noise and I was scared too."
Ye Kun chuckled. Shangguan Jifu was lowering his status by comparing himself to animals!
The second thunder bomb was aimed at the hillside.
Amid a loud bang, rock chips flew everywhere and the dead grass and trees on the hillside burst into flames.
Shangguan Jifu was delighted: "Brother Dalang, this is too powerful, it can kill people and also set fires!"
"Isn't it great?"
Ye Kun chuckled: "In another hundred years, I can make a bomb that can hit Chang'an and Luoyang from here, as well as Wuyue and Jiaozhou."
"Brother Dalang, you are bragging again."
Shangguan Jifu rolled his eyes: "You won't live to see another hundred years, so there's no way you can make this thing."
Ye Kun laughed loudly: "My alchemist is refining an elixir of immortality for me."
"Eat less! My dad died from eating this!"
The two continued to fire thunder bombs while chatting.
After firing all the thunder bombs he brought, Shangguan Jifu still felt unsatisfied.
Ye Kun waved his hand: "Let's go, Fourth Brother. I also brought you some new farm tools and white jade porcelain bowls."
Shangguan Jifu nodded, and went back to the city with Ye Kun to look at the white porcelain bowl.
Ye Kun introduced: "This white porcelain bowl is made of clay, it will definitely be very popular. Half of the money we make to support the army in the future will depend on this. Tianmen County has a land and water wharf, connecting the north, south, east and west. In the future, we must promote porcelain more and exchange it for food, iron tools, cattle and horses."
Shangguan Jifu looked at the porcelain bowl and said with a chuckle:
"It is indeed very profitable to exchange soil for food. Okay, you send the goods over and I will promote it vigorously."
Ye Kun nodded and talked about production issues with Shangguan Jifu again.
Shangguan Jifu thought for a moment and said, "Since Dalangge is so knowledgeable about farming, all the mulberry and hemp farming work in Tianmen City will be handed over to you. You send someone to take charge, and I will send someone to carry out the work."
The two had an in-depth exchange and chatted very happily. After dinner, Ye Kun returned to his own prince's residence.
He Tiantian and her father are already waiting here.
Lao He has a wife, a ten-year-old son, and together with He Tiantian, they make a simple family of four.
There wasn't any valuable furniture, just a few clothes and quilts, so I just packed up and came here.
Ye Kun arranged for Lao He's family to stay and went to see Youde himself.
Youde probably lost too much blood and his complexion didn't look very good, but he was in much better spirits now.
Ye Kun held Youde's hand and said, "Does it still hurt, second sister?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Youde smiled shyly and whispered, "Teacher Wen is so mean. He had such a good idea but didn't tell me. I was in pain all night last night and your clothes were soiled."
"That's your fault too. You didn't tell me before."
"How can you say such a thing?"
"Didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"You bad guy, we are all... better off that way, that's why I said that." Youde blushed and punched Ye Kun.
The veil was already torn off the day before yesterday at the Xiping Mountain camp. What else is there to be embarrassed about?
"Are we okay?"
Ye Kun hugged Youde and laughed softly, "I don't think it's good enough yet. It can go a little deeper to be truly good."
"Anyway, I am yours, you can do whatever you want..."
Youde leaned on Ye Kun's chest and whispered, "It's just these two days. I'm not clean and can't serve you. You, go find Sister Hongyu and Teacher Wen, call them good sisters, and let them serve you."
"Youde, are you jealous?"
"What are you jealous about? I ate last night."
Youde looked bewildered: "Teacher Wen asked the cook to kill two chickens and make chicken blood soup for me, saying that it can replenish blood."
There is vinegar in the Dading Kingdom, but there is no such thing as eating jealousy.
"Chicken blood soup is very good, eat more."
Ye Kun patted Youde's head and said, "Then you go to sleep first. I'll go do some work. I'll go with you tomorrow to stroll around the city."
Youde nodded and smiled happily.
Because of stomachache, Youde has not gone out for the past two days.
Ye Kun returned to his bedroom and found Liu Hongyu and Teacher Wen were there.
Wen Axiu took Ye Kun and said with a smile: "Teacher Ye, I still have to check the accounts tonight, so let Hongyu serve you."
"Teacher Wen, don't run."
Ye Kun closed the door, blocked Wen Axiu, and said to Liu Hongyu with a smile: "Hongyu, do you know that we can be together because of Teacher Wen? She always praises you and your ability in front of me, and asks me to be more intimate with you."
Hongyu covered her mouth and smiled, then bowed to Wen Axiu: "Thank you, Teacher Wen."
Wen Axiu struggled in Ye Kun's arms and said with a smile:
"You two have already thanked me, why don't you let me go? How can you keep a matchmaker like me in the room?"
"Because I want to thank you very much."
Ye Kun smiled evilly: "Sister Hongyu, undress Teacher Wen, wash her feet, and send her to the brocade tent..."
Liu Hongyu was really rude and started fighting with a laugh.
Wen Ah Xiu blushed with shame and cursed in a low voice: "You two shameless people, let me go now."
Ye Kun took advantage of Teacher Wen's weakness and said with a wicked smile: "You are more shameless than me, for example, that night..."
"Shame on you, it wasn't me that night, you remembered the wrong person."
Teacher Wen finally gave up struggling and began to cooperate.
It's a rare opportunity to go out, so everyone is very relaxed.
The next day was a beautiful sunny day.
Youde has fully recovered.
Teacher Wen and Hongyu are in better spirits, look radiant, and have beautiful smiles.
Ye Kun rode a horse and strolled around the city with Youde and the other two.
Find a pub for lunch at noon and experience the customs and culture of Tianmen County.
Opposite the tavern is also a brothel.
The young ladies were singing, with melodious sound of stringed instruments. It turned out to be the Song of the Silkworm Woman and Song of the Bees written by Ye Kun many years ago.
Wen Axiu smiled and said, "Teacher Ye, your masterpiece of poetry has spread throughout Tianmen County, and I guess it has spread to Jingzhou as well."
"What a shame, the young lady sang my song but didn't thank me."
"How do you want people to thank you? I'm afraid that if everyone comes to thank you, you won't be able to handle it."
"One is better than another." Ye Kun shrugged.
Wen Axiu and Hongyu, both experienced people, chuckled.
Youde was pure after all, and frowned, "What are you laughing at? It doesn't look funny."
"Nothing, second sister, have dinner. After dinner, I will take you to the riverside to see the river."
Ye Kun picked up the dish and put it in Youde's bowl.
Wen Ah Xiu teased again: "Teacher Ye loves the Second Miss so much, why doesn't he feed her? The venison is not cooked well, Master Ye should chew it up and feed it to the Second Miss bite by bite."
