    Ye Tianheng thought for a while and asked: "Little friend, do you want to collect saltpeter from near Chang'an?"

    Chen Wanrong had exactly this idea: "Yes. I have this idea, but I don't know how much saltpeter there is near Chang'an and whether it is enough."

    Guan Yibing slapped the table and came up with an idea: "Mr. Chen, this is a good idea. If it is used on the battlefield, it may not be enough. If it is just used for testing cannons and training for the army, there is still a way to find a way. Chang'an has  More than one million people consume a lot of saltpeter every year, which is quite astonishing. Of course, it is scattered in drug stores, but it is a bit troublesome to collect it."

    Liu Huaide shook his head and said: "It's not troublesome at all. If you really want to collect saltpeter from Chang'an, you only need to tell the prince, and the prince will give the order. It will only take a few days."

    Chen Wanrong has already done this once. It only took Niu Shangxin three days to buy all the saltpeter in Chang'an.  Presumably after such a period of time, the major pharmacies in Chang'an have replenished their supplies and can sweep them all away. They agreed with this idea very much and said: "It's a good idea. I think this can be done."

    Cao Zhixiong analyzed: "Whether this is a good idea or not, there is one problem I didn't think of. Although there are many pharmacies in Chang'an, it won't be too much to collect them all. According to Mr. Chen, the best one is to boil ten pounds per pound. If  If you encounter a bad one, it will weigh more than ten or twenty kilograms, or even more. This won¡¯t be too much, so you have to think of other ways.¡±

    This is so true. Chen Wanrong has only endured a few dozen kilograms and is almost used up.  Even if we do it again, it won't work. We have to think of another way: "Master Cao, do you have any ideas?"

    Cao Zhixiong's voice rose a little, and he was quite excited: "I have an idea, do you think it will work? The pharmacies in Chang'an have certain channels for buying saltpeter. In addition to buying saltpeter, we should ask about this channel. With this  Channels, are you still worried about not having enough saltpeter?"

    It is impossible to pick up the saltpeter used in drug stores by yourself, you must buy it from others.  If you follow this clue, you might be able to find a place where saltpeter is found. It might not be too much, but it's at least much better than waiting blindly.  There was a chorus of agreement: "What a great idea! Mr. Chen, we think this is a good idea."

    Chen Wanrong's interest also came up: "I think so too. This matter should be told to the prince, and it will be more convenient for the prince to handle it." Li Longji only needs to designate one person to take charge, which is better than having the weapons supervisor come forward.  many.

    The more they talked, the more interested they became. Ye Tianheng tapped his cane on the ground and said, "Speaking of this, I thought of a way. Chang'an is not far from Luoyang. In addition to buying in Chang'an, you can also go to Luoyang to buy. Luoyang is the capital of the East.  The transportation in Chang'an is convenient, and transporting it here is only a matter of time."

    Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but Luoyang has always been the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. Especially during the period of Wu Zetian, Luoyang was expanded on a large scale and some central offices were located in Luoyang, which greatly increased Luoyang's status and made it more prosperous.  Although not as densely populated as Chang'an, it still has a population of nearly one million.

    Ye Tianheng¡¯s idea was so right, and there was a chorus of agreement.

    Liu Huaide coughed and continued Ye Tianheng's idea: "Brother Ye reminded me of this. Think about it, if you want to talk about convenient transportation, apart from the difficult road to Shu, where in the Tang Dynasty is the transportation not convenient? Mianzhou is in Bashu  To transport saltpeter to Chang'an requires a long journey, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. We cannot wait. Therefore, in addition to buying it in Luoyang, I think we can also buy saltpeter in Zhengzhou, Jiangning, Yangzhou and other places. Although there are not many places in one place  , the total is considerable." Nanjing was called Jiangning in the Tang Dynasty.

    Zhengzhou, Jiangning and Yangzhou were several prosperous metropolises in the Tang Dynasty, which were very prosperous and had a large population.  If you want to buy saltpeter from these places, there will definitely be no problem.  What's more, the transportation to Chang'an is very convenient. Compared with the "difficult to reach the sky" road to Shu, it is more than a hundred times more convenient.

    "There is also Youzhou, don't forget it." Cao Zhixiong reminded.

    Beijing was called Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty and was the most important strategic base of the Tang Dynasty in the north.  Because of the smooth flow of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the development of water transportation, boarding the ship in Chang'an can go directly to Youzhou and then to Liaodong.  When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty campaigned against Goryeo, a large amount of military supplies were transferred to Liaodong through Youzhou.

    Therefore, Youzhou was very important to the Tang Dynasty. In addition to supplying Liaodong, the materials stored here also supplied the north.  At that time, the north was restless, and there were frequent wars with the Turks on the border, so Youzhou's status became even more important.  Therefore, Youzhou is also a very prosperous city with a large population and developed commerce.

    "Isn't that too far?" Kou Yibing disagreed a little.

    Chen Wanrong agreed with Cao Zhixiong's view: "It takes time to collect the saltpeter. Those who arrive first will be used first, and those who arrive later will be used last. If we get it all at once, we will not be able to make it in time."Next, he felt refreshed: "It's such a good thing! It makes me want to float away from the world! Choose a place with no one and smell this perfume. It's really a kind of enjoyment, a life like a fairy."

    He had this idea by chance after he got Sima Chengzhen¡¯s formula.

    Chen Wanrong gave each person a bottle of perfume. Everyone took the perfume and couldn't help but smell it.  These perfumes have different formulas, different fragrances, and are often different, so they smell them interchangeably.

    "Everyone: Let me remind you that perfume is not for smelling, it is for use. It must be rubbed on the body." Chen Wanrong introduced how to use it.

    Cao Zhixiong poured a drop on his palm, rubbed it on his face, and said, "I'll use it now."

    Others were about to imitate him, but Chen Wanrong hurriedly stopped him: "Don't rub it on your face, it will be bad for you. Besides, that's not how perfume is used. There are instructions on it. If you don't read it, don't blame me. Also, perfume  It¡¯s mainly for women, what kind of perfume do you use?¡±

    Only then did everyone look at the instruction manual. Ye Tianheng teased Cao Zhixiong: "Brother Cao, you are wrong. It is not for you to use it like that. If you want to use it this way, pour it on your wrist." No matter what, pour some on your wrist.  Then apply it behind the ears and along the hairline.  The last one is applied to the clothes.

    Cao Zhixiong teased Ye Tianheng: "Brother Ye, this perfume is for women. It's not bad for you to take it back to your sister-in-law. What are you using it for?"

    Ye Tianheng didn't take it seriously and laughed: "My scent is different from yours. My scent makes people feel like they are floating away from the dust, and others will only admire me when they smell it. Your scent is close to the scent of roses,  If you apply it on your body, others will regard you as a flower. A woman is a flower! Haha!" The more I said it, the more excited I became, and I laughed so happily.

    Although it was his first time to use perfume, his words made sense and no one could refute it.  Kou Yibing sniffed Cao Zhixiong and started teasing him: "Master Cao, when did you become a woman and have roses growing on your body?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter, and everyone pointed at Cao Zhixiong: "Cao Meigui!"

    Cao Zhixiong blushed and said angrily, "I'm going to wash up." He strode away.

    "After all, you are still Cao Meigui!" Zhang Deming joked at his back.

    Chen Wanrong shook his head and said: "Don't worry, he can't wash it off. You will have to wait a day for the smell to dissipate before it becomes odorless."

    Kou Yibing laughed loudly: "Miao Miao Miao! What will Mrs. Cao think when Master Cao comes home?" This was a bit obscene, but everyone understood the meaning, and another burst of laughter broke out.

    After smelling it on Ye Tianheng, Guan Yibing's eyes lit up: "Brother Ye, you smell good, apply some on it for me."

    Ye Tianheng looked like an old naughty boy at this moment. He hurriedly put the bottle in his arms and trotted away: "No. How can such a good baby be used by you?"
