Mo Jiuye was very enthusiastic about hand grenades.
After truly experiencing their power, he had also tried to research them.
But later, as things got busier, it was temporarily ignored by him.
Now that there were only trusted people in the room, Mo Jiuye also had no scruples about asking.
"Ran Ran, what kind of weapon are you talking about?"
He did not say the name of the weapon, but made a gesture of throwing a hand grenade.
Because he was clear in his heart that hand grenades were a product unique to his wife's space. In case what the other person was talking about was not this, wouldn't he expose himself by saying it out.
Now, manufacturing gunpowder was only He Zhiran's preliminary plan. Before it succeeded, she did not want to speak it out too early.
Therefore, she answered more conservatively.
"I just had an idea, whether it can succeed or not, I have to try it before I know."
But she had already made up her mind in her heart. Making gunpowder stuff was not difficult to get, as long as the dosage was grasped.
Although it sounded easy, it was estimated that it would take a lot of twists and turns to produce it. After all, this gunpowder stuff was not to be played with. With a slight carelessness, the people involved in the production could be blown away.
She would have to study it carefully later and strive to do it without any problems.
Mo Qing was confused for a while about what medicine his sister-in-law was selling in her gourd, but he believed her without reservations.
Mo Qing saw that his sister-in-law was talking mysteriously. Even though he was eager to know the details in his heart, he did not dare to inquire in front of so many people.
"Lady He, the power of the weapon you mentioned is still unknown, and time waits for no one. The reason why I want an army of my own is because I don't know when Emperor Shunwu will take action against us."
He knew Emperor Shunwu best. He was already wary of the Mo family to the point of exiling them. Once he learned that the Mo men were still alive, he would probably not sleep well without getting rid of them.
He Zhiran thought for a while and replied, "I agree with my husband's opinion on training troops. Go to the south and bring back the soldiers who were born and died with the Mo family. That way, there is no need to worry about loyalty.
It can also solve their plight of being ostracized there.
I calculated that rushing on fast horses, this round trip would take at least a month.
In more than a month, I think there will be enough time to research the weapon I mentioned.
If nothing unexpected happens, these soldiers can be equipped with such weapons by the time they arrive in the northwest."
He Zhiran had plans that since she suggested having an army of no more than a thousand people, even if she failed to successfully develop gunpowder, she would distribute the hand grenades from her space to everyone.
Giving everyone one first was enough to protect their homes.
That way, she still had enough time to continue researching gunpowder, and sooner or later she would succeed in researching it.
There was no need to worry about the generals either. The medicine men who had returned home had arrived one after another. There were more than 20 people in this room now.
With such an army and her advanced weapons, they would definitely be able to do it without any problems.
Of course, she didn't have any ambitions to fight for power either. The goal was only one - as long as the whole family was safe and sound.
That is to say, she would not choose to provoke others, but if someone bullied them, she would definitely not be soft-handed.
Seeing his ninth sister-in-law's well-reasoned words, the Mo men simply believed in her implicitly.
The third elder brother immediately stood up, "Since this is the case, I am willing to go to the south to bring those soldiers back."
"Third elder brother, since you came back, you have been collecting information outside all the time. I will go this time." The fifth elder brother refused to give in.
The other brothers were equally unwilling to fall behind, and they all rushed to go to the south.
At this time, Mo Qing also saw it.
When he said just now that he wanted his ninth son and daughter-in-law to be in charge of the house, it was nonsense.
Even if he didn't say it, this family would do that.
Wasn't this the case? As soon as his sister-in-law said something, everyone obeyed without asking why.
It seemed that he had very good eyesight. At first glance, he realized that this ninth sister-in-law was extraordinary. Even his arrogant sons obeyed without complaint.
After understanding these things, Mo Qing decided to shut up.
Anyway, he had stated his opinion. He was now a disabled person, so he would not add to the chaos.
The trip to the south was inevitable, and it could not be delayed either. After discussing among the brothers, it was finally decided that the seventh elder brother would go on this trip.
As for making gunpowder, of course, it had to be done by their own people too.
The best person for this in He Zhiran's eyes was the fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother was daring and meticulous, and no one could be more suitable.
Of course, the other brothers could also participate, depending on their own wishes.
With things settled, the seventh elder brother would set off for the south tomorrow, but that did not affect the Mo family reunion dinner tonight.
With He Zhiran here, the family would never lack all kinds of good ingredients.
The eighth elder brother had specially gone to the fishing village to buy a lot of seafood that the locals here disliked but the Mo family could make delicious dishes with.
The culinary skills of the sisters-in-law had now been practiced to perfection, but now apart from He Zhiran, the best cook in the Mo family was Yu Er.
This girl usually had no intrigues in her heart and just worked wholeheartedly. She knew that her ninth lady had superb culinary skills. In order to make herself have a skill she could be proud of, whenever He Zhiran cooked, she would follow along to help and learn at the same time.
For the Mo family reunion banquet tonight, Yu Er took over the role of head chef without objection. The sisters-in-law then helped out as sous chefs.
The women worked hard for an afternoon and finally prepared a sumptuous dinner before nightfall.
Similarly, the banquet was set in the main hall where the elderly couple stayed.
Mo Qing returned home in high spirits. Coupled with He Zhiran's conditioning over the past few days, he looked more energetic than ever.
He was carried to the main seat by his sons to sit, with his old wife sitting beside him.
The younger generations then found their own places to sit.
On a nice day like this, with so much delicious food, they naturally asked Fang Chuanzhou, Xie Tianhai and Hu Cong to come over and join them.
As well as Liang Hao, Tao Ran and their group of men.
With them, the hall could not accommodate everyone, so several tables were specially set up in the yard.
Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou were old acquaintances of Mo Qing. They had pretty good relationships when they were in the capital.
Hu Cong was younger than Mo Qing by some years. Although they did not have much interaction, they both had good impressions of each other.
Mo Qing had also heard of some of their experiences during their exile and felt even closer to Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai than before.
As for Hu Cong, he suffered the same plight as the Mo family, so Mo Qing sympathized with him even more.
He invited the two old friends and Hu Cong to dine together. Just as everyone was about to start, footsteps came from outside the door.
Nan Rui's voice was very loud.
"What happy event is it today that it’s so lively?"
Everyone's gaze turned to the sound source, and they saw Nan Rui supporting Imperial Consort De, smiling and walking into the hall.
