Pah! A book with the words' Gunpowder Production Safety Operation Manual 'written on it was slapped on Yao Chong's desk.
The palace was currently being cleaned up and there were many people coming and going. Thus, no one reported Li Chengqi's arrival in advance.
Yao Chong was taken aback. Lowering his head to look at the words on the book, he harrumphed coldly, "King Song, are you here to humiliate me?"
Li Chengqi's mouth twitched, "Hurry up and take it. Otherwise, if someone were to die from the explosion, those people might come looking for you at night."
"Why would I be afraid of such things?" Yao Chong replied stubbornly. He casually picked up the book and flipped through it.
As he flipped through it, he said, "This is done separately. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been allowed to bring fire in. Of course, it's done properly. As for sweeping one's body with a metal rod to remove static electricity? Static electricity? Ah, that's right. "
Li Chengqi didn't want to listen anymore. Thus, he turned around and left. Since it's done properly, why did so many people get injured a few days ago?
When Li Chengqi walked out of the Political Affairs Hall, someone reported, "He's gone. King Song has left."
"Where were you when King Song came? If you had informed me in advance, I would have been able to hide. "Yao Chong was furious.
The informant shrank back. Then, he turned around and ran off. As he ran, he muttered, "Where can you hide? Back home? "
"Prime Minister Yao, since King Song dares to be rude to you, why don't we impeach him together?" Zhang Shuo was enjoying the show.
"Shoo shoo shoo, if he doesn't rebel, what can we do to him?" Yao Chong was helpless. King Song had given up his position as the crown prince on his own accord.
King Song usually had nothing to do. Didn't you see how the football tournament cost him a lot of money? Furthermore, it seemed to have nothing to do with the people's livelihood.
Yet, no one said a word. Everyone pretended that they didn't see anything.
Otherwise, if they were to submit an impeachment memorial, they would be trying to frame His Majesty as a traitor.
"What about the manual?" Zhang Shuo calmly forgot about the matter of instigating the rebellion. He pointed to the safety manual and asked.
"Get someone to make a copy and send it to the workshop. We have to strictly follow the instructions. It seems like there are times when Li Yi's literary talent is lacking as well. "
Yao Chong found a new low point.
He pointed and read out one of the clauses, "You must definitely separate the saltpeter and sulfur. If you see it in pieces, you must not use a hammer to smash it … Look at this literary talent."
Yao Chong despised him, but his mood improved a lot.
Zhang Shuo and Lu Huaishen nodded in agreement.
Lu Huaishen suggested, "Why don't we change it?"
"If I don't change it, I will let those people know that Li Yi's literary talent is not good." Yao Chong chose to copy.
He knew that those people wouldn't be able to understand it after he changed it. He even felt that it could be simpler.
Zhang Shuo took it and looked at it. He shook his head. "It's a pity that there's no mention of the drug in the second kick. Otherwise, we could make the same thing."
Yao Chong sat there and thought for a moment. Then, a smile appeared on his face. "This gunpowder technique can be used for military purposes. Let's see how he sells it."
He wrote a separate memorial, saying that military weapons and the foundation of the country should not be used lightly.
Soon, Li Longji saw Yao Chong's memorial. He flipped through it a few times and threw it aside.
He said to Gao Lishi, "Go to Zhuangzi to buy soy sauce and bring back some firecrackers. I've been too busy these past few days, so I can't go in person."
Gao Lishi accepted the order and left.
When he arrived, Zhuangzi was measuring the children's bodies to make new clothes for them to wear on New Year's Eve.
The adults also had new clothes to make, but they didn't need to be measured. The children were growing every day, so the previous measurements were not accurate.
"Change the clothes that are too small to wear. Change them to waistcoats. Change the trousers to three-quarter pants. Wear them in summer. Throw the shoes that are too small and the leftovers to the paper mill."
Li Yi said to Song De, who was standing next to him with his sleeves folded, as he watched the people in the garment workshop measure the children.
"Dongzhu, change the older children's clothes. You can give them to the younger children." Song De reminded. The clothes weren't torn and looked very new.
"Wouldn't that make this Dongzhu seem poor? I want new clothes. Also, make one set for each of the 220 students. I already had one set last year. It's time to improve the treatment. "
Li Yi also took care of the students who came later. When the students came, they had their own clothes, so Zhuangzi gave them one set.
Unlike the 42 students, who were given several sets in winter.
He was worried that if he gave them too much at once, the students wouldn't cherish the good days. What if they ran away with several sets of new clothes?
Now that they were no longer afraid, they were used to Zhuangzi's routine. The students' hearts calmed down.
"Li Dongzhu, are you giving benefits to the farmers again?" Gao Lishi came over to take a look and said to Li Yi with a smile.
"Sigh! There's no other way. There's too much money to spend. "Li Yi also laughed.
"I heard that Dongzhu and Zhuangzi have firecrackers. I also want to play with them." Gao Lishi opened his mouth and stretched out his hand.
"Well said, well said. During the day, set off the firecrackers and listen to the movements. At night, set off the flowers." Li Yi knew that his brother had passed the message.
He had already prepared and set off the firecrackers specially for the Imperial Palace.
When the time comes, Zhuangzi and the Imperial Palace will set off the firecrackers together. When others see the beauty of the firecrackers, they will spend a lot of money to buy them.
Gao Lishi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Li Dongzhu, can firecrackers be used in the military?"
"Yes, and they are very sharp. I'm still thinking about how to use them." Li Yi lied. He already knew how to use them.
"When the warhorses hear the sounds, will they be frightened?" Gao Lishi asked.
"Just listen to the sounds for a while. Once you get used to it, the horses won't be afraid." Li Yi recalled the situation of the artillery against the cavalry.
If the artillery discovered the cavalry in advance, the cavalry would be finished.
If the cavalry launched a surprise attack on the artillery, the artillery would be useless.
If they met at a distance of two kilometers, the artillery would be dumbfounded. Before they could set up the cannons, the cavalry would charge in.
Five kilometers. The cavalry must immediately disperse and take a detour.
Ten kilometers. Run. The cavalry can run as fast as they can.
Gao Lishi still didn't know that there were artillery. He analyzed again.
He said, "After our cavalry familiarizes themselves with the enemy cavalry, will the firecrackers be of great use?"
"When I make them, I won't fight with them."
Li Yi shook his head. They already had firecrackers. Why would they still charge? It was still okay to chase after them.
"Li Dongzhu, write a method of using firecrackers in the military. The Winged Knights need to know in advance."
Gao Lishi took the initiative to help Li Longji consider.
"Okay, I'll write it now. General Gao, go and learn the methods of lighting firecrackers." Li Yi called Song De to take charge and returned to the courtyard.
For a while, there were crackling sounds and not very dazzling fireworks on Zhuangzi.
When it was almost noon, the things were loaded. Gao Lishi didn't eat. He and the people he brought took a roll each and rushed back to eat.
"Song De, after lunch, take the children to the city. Install more firecrackers and let the children play. If someone asks about the price, say two coins for one and one coin for one more."
During lunch, Li Yi didn't go to the private room. Instead, he sat in front of Song De.
"Do you want money or silk? The price of silk seems to be lower in the market recently. "Song De meant that he wanted money.
"I'll take whatever the official price is. I don't want the rotten ones." Li Yi lowered his head and thought about it. He decided to support the officials.
Even if the silk was not used as money, it could be used for other purposes. It was good to paste windows.
After lunch, the children began to dress up when they heard that they were going to the city to play in the afternoon. They combed their hair and checked if there were any wrinkles on their clothes.
If there was mud on their shoes, they quickly brushed it off with a brush.
They got in the car and took a lot of firecrackers to Chang 'an to show off.
