ively closed their mouths.That gaze, extremely domineering! Even Yang Lin took a sharp breath of cold air.She, the legal wife.Yang Lin pointed at Li Yuyao without hesitation. He blinked at the girl w...When Li Yuyao and Liao Hongying at the bandit camp learned that the hidden silver had been found, and in such a large amount, they were also very excited.

After carrying twelve chests back to the bandit camp, Yang Lin led his men in collecting the two corpses and burying them. Only then did he hitch his horse to the cart and prepare to head down the mountain.

Luckily, there were still four good horses on the mountain. Otherwise, with so much silver, we wouldn't have been able to transport it back!

However, on the way down the mountain, Qin Shuang noticed something strange in the woods. She instinctively spoke up: "Brother Lin, look at that white line on the mountainside, it looks so weird."

Following Qin Shuang's direction, Yang Lin also immediately saw the white line Qin Shuang mentioned. He stopped and looked at it carefully for a while.

Qin Shuang's "white line" wasn't a real line, but a white mark on the mountainside, like a white rope tied halfway up. It was particularly conspicuous.

Yang Lin knew, at this moment looking from afar it was just a line, but in reality it was a rock formation on the mountainside!

A layer of white rock so abruptly appearing in the mountain could only mean one thing... Yang Lin had a thought.

"Let's go take a look!"

Everyone was taken aback. They hadn't expected Qin Shuang to simply say a word and then go see for himself

Qin Shuang was also a little dazed: "Lin Ge, I was just casually saying. White lines are white lines, they're probably just stones. What's there to look at"

Yet Yang Lin shook his head: "What if it's not an ordinary stone"

Everyone was confused, but they still followed Yang Lin and walked over.

As they got closer, the crowd finally saw what the “white line” was.

This is a layer of white crystalline rock that is two to three meters thick!

Yang Lin crouched down, picked up a finely forged iron arrow, and chipped off a small piece.

He first looked at it, smelled it, and finally tasted it.

After he tasted and spat it out, his face lit up with joy!

"Well, is this another kind of useful stone" Li Yuyao asked curiously.

At the same time, she picked up a small piece and looked at it from all angles, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't see anything different about this white crystalline stone.

Yang Lin nodded. "Right, this is saltpeter!"

Li Yucheng was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Medicinal herbs"

Although she didn't know what gunpowder was, she had heard of a kind of medicine called gunpowder.

However, Yang Lin shook his head and said, "What you're talking about is mirabilite. Mirabilite can be used as medicine, but this type of nitric stone is called fire salt!"

"Fire salt" Liao Hongying asked curiously, "What can fire salt be used for"

Of course...

Gunpowder, of course, is used to make explosives!

However, as the words were about to leave his lips, Yang Lin decided not to say them.

As the saying goes, one part white vinegar, two parts yellow rice wine, three parts charcoal, and a pinch of sugar, you get Dai Iwan!

Making gunpowder is not complex, but it's not as simple as "one sulfur, two charcoal, three potassium nitrate."

Yang Lin clearly remembered that the most reasonable proportion of potassium nitrate, sulfur, and carbon was 75% to 10% to 15%!

As long as you follow this ratio, after a few experiments, creating gunpowder will be no problem!

When he first arrived in Dayan, he discovered pyrite and even yellow iron ore on the back mountain of Kaoshan Village. The sulfur reserves were enormous!

Now that we have also found saltpeter, the material for making gunpowder, everything is ready!

However, gunpowder is a serious matter after all. If used well, it can change the world. So, how to make it and how to use it, one must still plan carefully.

It's not that Yang Lin doesn't trust the security team, it's just that this matter is too important!

It's like a bucket of plaster, worth ten ounces of silver. The technical difficulty is extremely low; once people know the process, the price of plaster will collapse in an instant.

And gunpowder, far more important! And much more frightening than plaster of Paris!

Yang Lin would absolutely never let the gunpowder formula leak, not even a single ingredient!

“Of course, it’s used to make fertilizer. This stone is rich in a substance called potassium nitrate, which is a very beneficial fertilizer for plant growth. As long as it is processed and the stones are refined into powder and sprinkled into the fields, even infertile land can become fertile farmland!” After Yang Lin’s explanation, everyone was dumbfounded.

Stones can also be used as fertilizer, they are unheard of.

But Li Yiyiao believed Yang Lin's words implicitly.

She just found it strange how Yang Lin knew all of this. Especially the thing in gunpowder, what was it… potassium nitrate She had never even heard of it.

However, Li Yuhua felt that things weren't as simple as they seemed!

"This is a bit complicated to explain, I'll tell you all about it when we get back!"

While she was deep in thought, Yang Lin leaned over and whispered to her.

Li Yuxiang's eyes lit up.

There's more to this than meets the eye!

What is it She started to look forward to it as well.

When Yang Lin and others returned to Kaoshan Village, it was already evening.

The women who stayed at home, watching mouthful after mouthful of large wooden boxes being carried into the house, learned that so much silver had been brought back, and they were all astonished.

However, they still told Yang Lin the good news about their home first.

Everyone is awake!

"Take care of the injured younger sister at home," said Si Mei.

"Awake That's great!"

Yang Lin is delighted.

The result looked at, but there was no one at home.

"Four Younger Sister hurriedly explained, “After they woke up, they were all taken back by their families. Everyone knows our situation and that our home is already crowded. Now with so many injured people, it's inconvenient. They all said they couldn't trouble you anymore.”

Yang Lin sighed and nodded.

No matter what, it's good that the person is awake.

"Have you told them about the unravelling" Yang Lin pressed.

"Well, I told them that in a few days when the wounds start to heal, come over to my place to have the stitches removed," Si Mei said.

Yang Lin also let out a sigh of relief.

He used ordinary cotton thread for stitching.

Even professional sutures used in medicine can't completely prevent rejection, and cotton thread is even less effective.

So, it is crucial to remove the stitches as early as possible, otherwise, you may experience rejection reactions, even infections and inflammation later on!

"My husband, are these really all silver"

Wumei looked at the pile of boxes and asked in puzzlement.

The chest was flung open, revealing chest after chest of gleaming silver.

Although they had seen a lot of silver before, they were still amazed at this moment.

After dinner, he began to count the silver.

It took a full day and more to finally count all of these gold, silver, and jewels.

Over six thousand three hundred ounces of silver!

Two hundred and twenty taels of gold!

In total, it's worth over eight thousand taels!

However, to Yang Lin's surprise, these were not the most valuable!

After seeing those jewelry, agate, pearls, jade, antiques, Li Yuyao confidently said: Those antique jade wares add up to a value of at least over ten thousand taels of silver!

But that's not all.

What surprised Yang Lin the most was that among these treasure-filled wooden chests, he also found a dozen or so letters... things, she had never heard of them."So, you collected so many beans to make that… tofu" Li Yuyao finally understood."Not bad!"Yang Lin nodded. "If we make tofu and sell it, we'll have money to pay o...
