System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Chapter 488

If you try soap and perfume, your financial strength will improve.

With every poem or song he wrote, his cultural level continued to improve.

In the blink of an eye, the new year has passed.

A huge explosion sounded above Dong Yu’s former general’s residence.

The people in Chang'an were frightened and looked confused and terrified.

"what sound?"

"Winter thunder?"

"Why does thunder occur in winter?"

Some people walked out of their houses and looked up at the sky in confusion and fear.

Former General's Mansion

"My husband is wonderful!"

"Daddy is so awesome!"

Dong Yu stood proudly in the middle of the field, holding the Heaven-shaking Bow, enjoying the admiration of his wife and children.

"This arrow is called the Exploding Arrow!"

Dong Yu grinned and waved an arrow.

A small bucket was tied under the arrow's tip.

What's inside is naturally gunpowder.

With Dong Yu's knowledge of physics and chemistry, it is estimated that he will not be able to achieve anything great.

But it was still easy enough to put some gunpowder into a bamboo tube and shoot it with a bow and arrow.

It can be called the ancient version of the Sky-piercing Monkey!

"Is this the black dust in here?"

Cai Yan looked at the powder in a wooden box with some curiosity.

"This stuff is dangerous."

"Don't touch fire."

Dong Yu nodded and reminded.

Rockets first appeared in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

The first person to enjoy the power of rockets was our famous Zhuge Wuhou.

When Zhuge Liang attacked Chencang, Hao Zhao used rockets.

However, compared to using gunpowder powder to boost and ignite to quickly burn the ladder, Hao Zhao only wrapped oilcloth around the arrow to help it burn.

It was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that gunpowder arrows were actually used in the army.

Gunpowder can not only provide propulsion, but also detonate and ignite objects.

"If this thing is put into the army, it should sometimes have miraculous effects."

Feng Yu's eyes lit up and she exclaimed in surprise.

"Yu'er also knows how to fight?"

Dong Yu looked at her curiously.

"I only occasionally heard father mention things in the army. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, my husband."

Feng Yu quickly lowered her head and explained.

"Feng Fang?"

"Where is he employed now?"

Dong Yu immediately understood Feng Yu's thoughts and asked.

"My dear husband, my father is now serving as the captain of the city gate."

Feng Yu was delighted and answered quickly.

"The captain of the city gates has been working too hard. When the court opens, I will transfer him to the guards as the general of the guards."

Dong Yu nodded and said casually.

Feng Yu has been with me for more than four years and we have a daughter. Most importantly, she is well-behaved and obedient, and she cooperates with whatever I ask of her.

Feng Fang, the father-in-law, has to give some benefits.

"I thank my husband on behalf of my father."

Feng Yu was overjoyed and quickly saluted Dong Yu with a smile.

During the Chinese New Year, it is inevitable that the family will get together to drink.

"No, you guys drink a lot of wine, can you please serve more food?"

Dong Yu looked at the dishes of snacks on the table and couldn't help complaining.

"Hey, what's the dish?"

"When we were fighting in Xiliang, there was no food at all. We just drank."

"Here, there are some peanuts."

Li Jue smiled and threw a peanut into his mouth, then picked up the jar and ate it.

"I can't stand you drinking like that."

"I have to make something delicious."
