Chapter 79.1
Everything was ready, all he needed was the east wind.
With Master Jing’an’s consent, Tan Chuyan and Feng Chilie hit it off and announced to the world three days later that they would recruit refugees from all over the world.
In just a few days, the lifeless Tianyou City returned to its former appearance, bustling with people.
As the number of refugees increased, Tan Chuyan found a timely opportunity and issued a “relief order” with the help of Feng Libai.
The effect of the relief order was surprisingly good. Almost all the refugees who came to Jing Kingdom to seek refuge stayed. Tan Chuyan asked Feng Libai and some of the Wolf Eagle Cavalry soldiers to seize every moment and immediately organize the refugees to open up wasteland and cultivate land.
Judging from the farming season, if this crop of grain was planted, it could be harvested just before winter!
The farming issue was easy to solve, but the manufacturing of fire guns was difficult to solve.
Just as he was about to start the night class, Tan Chuyan suddenly stopped talking about it.
He had thought of things too simply before. If some of the people taking refuge were mixed in and secretly learned the art of making fire guns, then all their efforts would be in vain!
Fortunately, the matter of teaching the art of fire guns had not yet begun, so there was room for improvement.
But if they could not leave this matter to the common people, their speed of making fire guns would be greatly reduced, and it would be difficult to realize the idea of one fire gun for each person in the shortest time, and it would take a year at the fastest.
But was Cui Yuanqing willing to give them one year?
Besides, there was also Feng Mingyuan watching with eager eyes.
Tan Chuyan suddenly felt that he was still too young and didn’t think well enough.
Fortunately, Master Jing’an had expected such a scene. She stepped out of the yard and took the initiative to meet Tan Chuyan.
Seeing the young man’s frown, Master Jing’an raised her hand and tapped his forehead, jokingly saying: “It turns out that our Young Master Yan can also has a hard time.”
Tan Chuyan invited the person to the seat and served tea with his own hands: “Don’t laugh at me, I don’t have much fame.”
“Oh, I don’t know.” Master Jing’an took a sip of tea and said, “Actually, I’m glad that you could think of the disadvantages of this matter, otherwise it would be too late. On the day of night class, I would humiliate you in public.”
Some things could only be remembered if they were deep enough.
Tan Chuyan, who had always been a strategist, couldn’t help but blush. There were so many areas where he needed to grow.
After enough beatings, Master Jing’an decided to help Tan Chuyan solve this problem. After all, this was the meaning of her coming back with Tan Chuyan.
Master Jing’an put down the tea cup and said: “Actually, in addition to fire guns, our Tantai clan also had gun cannons and thunder bombs. The destructive power of these two things is far greater than fire cannons. You don’t have to own much, even if you only built ten cannons, you could smash the wall of a city.”
The forgotten memories reappeared bit by bit, and Tan Chuyan said, “I’ve heard of these two things.”
Master Jing’an was a little surprised: “Where did you hear it?”
At that time, Master Jing’an only told Tan Hongchen about the guns and did not mention the fire cannons and thunder bombs.
Tan Chuyan said: “Ah Lie told me.”
“How did he know this?” Master Jing’an asked: “These are things that our Tantai clan would never spread.”
“I don’t know the specific content very well,” Tan Chuyan said: “But Ah Lie told me at the time Old Madam Feng gave the bone whistle to Feng Chengjian before she died, she specifically told him that with the bone whistle, he could get a powerful weapon from the Tantai clan. Later, those things would become Ah Lie’s birthday gift after he turned 20.”
Hearing this, Master Jing’an was distracted for a moment.
“Anything else to say?” she asked.
Tan Chuyan recalled carefully: “There was another sentence, Old Madam Feng said before her death that this was the biggest decision the Tantai clan had ever made, and it might become the hope of survival in the future.”
Hearing this, the calmness on Master Jing’an’s face instantly collapsed. She laughed as if losing her soul.
She had always thought that her family knew nothing, but she underestimated the power of the Tantai clan.
After all, they were the rulers of the first dynasty. They might have discovered the ambitions of the Xiyi people and the secret construction of the flying ship, Yunzhou.
It was even easy to guess that this matter was related to her.
After all, Yunzhou was her first idea among her clan, and she was also praised by her teacher.
Later, she and her teacher studied Yunzhou’s drawings for a long time, but had to stop because of her departure from the clan and joining the world.
Master Jing’an didn’t know if the teacher continued to study Yunzhou’s drawings, but she knew that after her family discovered that Xiyi had made Yunzhou, they began to deal with the aftermath for her.
In order to defend their homeland, the Tantai clan took desperate measures and spread their weapons such as fire guns.
Because there were ready-made weapons, it was only a matter of time to analyze the drawings.
Master Jing’an smiled and cried. She felt guilty for her mistakes and ashamed of her cowardice.
In fact, she should have stood up a long time ago. When Tan Hongyun contacted the Xiyi people, she should have stood up and handed over the manufacturing method of fire guns to someone she trusted as soon as possible, and then made many, many fire guns, just in case of emergencies.
But she didn’t, so all those who struggled to resist fell into passivity because of her escape.
