Lin Chang'er, unaware of what was going on, followed Bai He into the house.
She casually picked up a small box from the doorway; the box was wrapped in several layers of thick cotton cloth.
When Lin Chang'er saw it, she subconsciously thought it was something delicious.
In her later life, Ms. Bai rarely cooked, and her culinary skills were not outstanding. However, Lin Chang'er felt that although it was a bit unkempt, it was still her way of showing her love.
So they were very supportive, rubbing their little hands together and looking expectant.
Bai He said nothing, but carefully unfolded the cotton cloth layer by layer.
When only the box remained, she looked at Lin Chang'er and said, "Daughter, look carefully!"
Lin Chang'er nodded hurriedly, and Bai He slowly opened the box, "Ta-da!"
Lin Chang'er saw that the contents were small round balls wrapped in red paper. "Red eggs?"
Bai He pouted, "These firecrackers, Mom made them for you herself, aren't you surprised?"
Lin Chang'er's eyes widened. "Firecrackers? The kind kids play with during Chinese New Year?"
Bai He hummed in agreement and said casually, "It's just a little louder and a little more powerful than those."
Lin Chang'er clicked her tongue, "It doesn't have to be that loud, but how much more destructive power can it have?"
Bai He blinked, somewhat embarrassed: "You know, this place isn't safe, and Mom doesn't have any experimental fields. She's just estimating based on the proportions..."
He picked one up and tossed it around. "Based on the proportions, one of these should be enough to destroy this small courtyard."
Lin Chang'er's eyes slowly shifted. "How much error is there?"
Bai He pondered for a moment, "A courtyard?"
Lin Chang'er's eyes widened: "..." My god, a one-to-one error...
Bai He seemed to see through her thoughts and explained, "We've always been rather conservative in our calculations of destructive power. Look at the range of that thing from later generations, right? We should be humble."
"If we lower our expectations a little, wouldn't it be easier to achieve the desired result?"
Lin Chang'er chuckled. "My goodness, this error can't be calculated like that. In later generations, computers operate with precision. We're still in the stage of personally launching the product. We have to consider our personal safety, right?"
"Mom, do you have more accurate data? If we send this thing out, it's bound to cause a big commotion, but we need to ensure the safety of the delivery personnel, right? We need to have a minimum safe distance, right?"
Bai He said "Oh, oh" twice, "Yes, yes, you're right, daughter. Then, should Mom improve this thing a bit more?"
Lin Chang'er chuckled, "Then I'll trouble Mom to put in a little more effort. But this batch isn't unsuitable for archers with good aim; they can use ricochets!"
"Yes, yes, yes, my daughter is so smart!"
Lin Chang'er thought of something else and asked Bai He, "Mom, are there any explosive things that don't involve controlled weapons?"
Whether in later generations or now, gunpowder is a prohibited substance, especially in this era, where possessing gunpowder is tantamount to treason. However, she has a secret space.
But she still didn't plan to use this on her fellow countrymen.
Bai He thought for a moment, "Yes!"
"What?" Lin Chang'er asked curiously.
Bai He chuckled, "Methane! It explodes as soon as you light it. At the beginning of the year, some kids were playing with firecrackers and happened to run into a sewer with excessive methane concentration. You can imagine what happened..."
Lin Chang'er scratched her head, "But doesn't this stuff need to accumulate slowly before the concentration exceeds the limit?"
Bai He affirmed, "That's right!"
Lin Chang'er pouted, "Isn't there something more readily available?"
Bai He looked at her, "Girl, what are you good for?"
Lin Chang'er said seriously, "Get revenge! Yan Qing's mother's death must be related to that dog of a magistrate. He also attacked you and Dad before."
"We are definitely mortal enemies with them, and we will fight to the death."
Bai He nodded slowly. "You should have said so earlier. Why waste gunpowder when you're going to bomb their house? The manure cart can explode when it reaches its ignition point. However, the process takes a while. You can use firecrackers to help. I noticed that the young man driving the cart always carries a bow and arrows with him. He must be pretty good at archery, right?"
Lin Chang'er paused, how could she have forgotten about this? Little Goldfish and the others had once blown up a latrine to prank Han Yue! She nodded, "Xiao Qi has the best aim among us."
Bai He whispered a few words in Lin Chang'er's ear, and Lin Chang'er nodded with a smile, "Hehe, my mom is awesome!"
"It's not that we're bullying him. He's the one who started it. He brought it on himself."
Lin Chang'er completely agreed with this statement.
After carefully storing the small box of firecrackers, he went to find Wu Qingfeng to discuss the night raid on the county magistrate's residence.
Wu Qingfeng held Yudian'er in his arms, gently patting her with his large hands. It was clear that he had a talent for taking care of children.
At least the raindrops must have felt comfortable being patted by him, because after his diaper was changed, they fell asleep peacefully in his arms.
Lin Chang'er got straight to the point and told Wu Qingfeng about the plan. Wu Qingfeng naturally supported it, and after lunch, he sent Liu Zi and Xiao Qi to investigate the layout of the magistrate's mansion.
Lin Chang'er also pretended to go out and bought some local pastries. On her way back, she took 20,000 taels of silver from her spatial storage and gave it to Bai He.
Although I had already expressed my feelings before, now that I have received the money, I still feel a mix of emotions.
Lin Beishan was also feeling bad. Who knew that when he woke up, his daughter would become his client?
However, the couple originally came for their daughter, but as parents, the moment of receiving help from their children still made him feel ashamed.
Lin Chang'er didn't think much of it. "Working is not easy. Let's settle the workers' wages first, then settle the raw material suppliers' wages. If the money is not enough, let me know the amount later."
"That's enough, that's enough. I've calculated everything carefully after I finished!" Bai He said. In front of others, she still didn't call herself "Mom" to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "Alright then, you should go back now! Tonight..."
"We'll be right there after the settlement!"
Lin Chang'er originally wanted to say that there was no need to come over that night, because Magistrate Yang would definitely send people to launch a sneak attack, and she was afraid that they would be in danger.
However, after hearing what Bai He said, she thought again that the biggest reason for the dock incident was still the old man's doing.
The fact that Magistrate Yang failed to gain the upper hand in his previous attempts shows that her parents are capable of protecting themselves and, if necessary, can even acquire valuable equipment.
Especially her mother, who specialized in this field in later generations.
In the era of cold weapons, the introduction of firearms into combat was undoubtedly a devastating blow.
Thinking this way, Lin Chang'er did not refuse, but only told them to be careful in everything.
As night fell, the group ate dinner early and did not engage in any entertainment. They turned off the lights early to create the illusion that they had already rested. In the darkness, a small group of people quietly approached the courtyard where Lin Chang'er and the others were staying.
As he leaped over the wall to climb into the courtyard, he suddenly heard a loud bang from the direction of the city, and the low wall beneath his feet seemed to shake...
