Chapter 467 Weapons
Aunt Zhao, Sister-in-law Qin, and Sister-in-law Li walked out of the front hall one after another.
Sister-in-law Qin praised in a low voice: "Our young master is so kind to his wife. I have never seen a man take the initiative to peel shrimps for his wife. This is the first time I have seen him. It is really strange."
Sister-in-law Li smiled and said: "Let alone rich men, even ordinary men like ours will not serve us in return. In their eyes, this is called rebelling against Tiangang. Madam, you are so lucky. The young master looks so good. Junmei is so kind to her."
Sister-in-law Qin said: "Who makes our wife look like a fairy girl walking out of a painting? I think even a man would be very curious about her."
"Okay, stop talking about the master behind his back. Have you forgotten what I said to you before?" Aunt Zhao turned around and warned the two of them.
Sister-in-law Qin and Sister-in-law Li quickly shut up.
They had all heard that there was a little girl in this mansion who overestimated her ability and wanted to climb into the young master's bed. As a result, the young master sold her out overnight, so they bought them back. Such a good job in the Jiang Mansion was hard to come by. They can't make their master unhappy.

Yan Shu was used to Jiang Ci looking after her first when eating. He had always done this during the escape, so he didn't know how shocking the scene just now was in the eyes of the servants.
After dinner, Jiang Ci went to the study, while Yan Shu returned to the room, closed the door and entered the space.
She went to the underground warehouse and selected two light-colored and two dark-colored materials from a pile of cloth, and also selected a piece of white fine cotton.
After sending five pieces of cloth out of the space, Yan Shu opened the door and called Sister-in-law Li into the house.
"Sister-in-law Li, the weather is getting hotter and hotter now. I want to make some summer clothes for the young master. You can take the young master's old clothes and measure them. Make one piece of each of these materials and two more. Clothing, with your hand speed, how long will it take to make it?"
Sister-in-law Li glanced at the several pieces of cloth placed on the table. She was an embroiderer, and she could tell at a glance that these pieces of cloth were of high quality.
"Madam, if you don't do anything else all day long and just make clothes, I can make six pieces of clothes in about seven or eight days."
Yan Shu frowned slightly, hearing Jiang Ci's intention that he would leave in three or four days at most.
"Madam, are you anxious to make it for the young master?"
"He is going on a long trip in a few days and may not be back for several months. I thought about making his summer clothes in advance. July or August is too late."
Sister-in-law Li said: "I know an embroiderer who earns a living by making clothes for others. Her craftsmanship is slightly better than mine. If your wife is in a hurry to make the young master's clothes, you can ask the embroiderer to come to the house to help with the making. With just two of us, we should be able to finish it in three or four days."
"Then you can bring her into the house tomorrow. You won't treat her badly in terms of price."
"Okay, I will bring him to Madam early tomorrow morning."
After Sister-in-law Li left, Yan Shu closed the door and entered the space again.
She wanted to prepare more necessary medicines for Jiang Ci before he left. There were many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountains in summer, so she needed to prepare a few deworming medicine packs. There were also a lot of poisons in the mountains, so she would definitely prepare a few more bottles of detoxifying pills. It can come in handy, as well as trauma medicine, antipyretic medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, and wind-cold medicine. She has made many similar medicines before, and you can just get them ready-made from the medicine cabinet.
A large bag full of medicines was prepared. These medicines were not only prepared for Jiang Ci, but they might also help the soldiers in the army.
She couldn't go there for the time being, so she could only prepare more to take precautions.
Yan Shu found some stickers from the study, put all the medicines into handmade cotton bags by category, then wrote the efficacy on the stickers, and finally pasted them on the cloth bags of each type of medicine, so that people who do not know medical skills can also know these Uses of medicines.
After the medicine was prepared, Yan Shu turned her eyes to the bookcase. Because her grandfather was an old general during his lifetime, many military books and weapons-making books were placed in her space after his death.
Most of them are books on making thermal weapons. These high-end weapons are of little use in this era.
Yan Shu's eyes fell on one of the books. She walked over and stood on tiptoes and took it from the bookshelf.
This book is called "The Evolution of Thermal Weapons". It mainly talks about various thermal weapons that have evolved since the birth of gunpowder. Each weapon has detailed production drawings and usage methods.
Yan Shu looked through it carefully for a while. Forget about advanced weapons such as those missiles in the later period. Even if there are production drawings, they cannot be made with the current level of technology. However, you can try the most primitive barrel. This Gunpowder has already existed in the era, and people currently use it mainly for firecrackers, fireworks, street pyrotechnics, illusions, and Taoist priests to make alchemy. No one has yet associated this thing with war.
Yan Shu packed up this book, several other books on the art of war, and a dictionary and took them away. These books were all published in simplified Chinese characters in the 22nd century. He should prepare a dictionary for Jiang Ci and let him study it slowly.
After packing the medicines and books, Yan Shu went straight to the granary in the backyard.
The last time she transported grain to the mountains, she had given all the grain that came along the way to escape to Jiang Ci. Now the hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain left in the granary were all produced in space.
She used to farm the land by herself, but later when Jiang Ci came to help, she could barely farm 20 acres of land. In fact, if someone in her space continued to cultivate, 400 to 500 acres of land would not be a problem, but she didn't rely on it at the beginning. Living on these lands, she has only cultivated more than 100 acres of land, and 80% of it has been used to grow herbal medicine. The remaining 20 acres of land cannot be harvested regularly every month.
After the eldest brother and the second brother arrive, let them take care of the crops.
"Jiaojiao?"
Hearing Jiang Ci calling him outside, Yan Shu dodged back to the room.
Jiang Ci jumped into the house through the window with familiarity. Yan Shu rushed to him happily, closed the window and pulled him into the space.
"Let me show you something."
She placed all the items prepared for Jiang Ci in the glass tea room in the small courtyard.
Jiang Ci looked at the bags of items on the ground.
"This is?"
Yan Shu pulled him down and introduced them one by one.
"These are the medicines prepared for you. There are anti-mosquito medicine packs, trauma medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, antipyretic medicine, cold medicine and detoxification pills. These are commonly used medicines. It is also a guarantee to carry them with you. There are also these books I prepared it from the study room. It contains some art of war and tactics, but the fonts are different from those here. You have to read the dictionary first to learn these simplified Chinese characters. By the way, there is also this book for your reference."
Yan Shu explained the book "The Evolution of Thermal Weapons" in detail. Jiang Ci was shocked when he heard that gunpowder was so powerful.
He picked up the book and read it carefully for a long time. Although the handwriting on it was short of arms and legs, even Meng Daigui could understand more than half of it. The more he read the back, the more frightened he became.
"Are these weapons from your fairy world?"
Yan Shu laughed dryly: "Yes, these latter weapons are too advanced and cannot be made under the current conditions of this world, but you can try the cannon barrel. These books are given to you, you can take them out yourself and slowly look."
