Dan Yangzi was truly grateful from the bottom of his heart for saving Du Qi's life. If it wasn't for Du Qi, he would have died long ago. Moreover, Du Qi was his lord. He was even more loyal to Du Qi.
Dan Yangzi didn't wait for Du Qi to speak. "Your Highness, please rest assured. This humble Taoist swears to serve Your Highness until death. Although this humble Daoist doesn't have much ability, as long as Your Highness gives the order, this humble Daoist will not frown even if it's a mountain of blades or a sea of flames. "
He promised again.
He was afraid that Du Qi wouldn't believe him.
Du Qi said, "Dan Yangzi, this prince believes you."
Dan Yangzi heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. He said seriously, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Du Qi placed the book in front of Dan Yangzi. "Take a look at this book. This book records the development of new weapons. What you need to do now is to develop new weapons. "
Dan Yangzi took the book and quickly browsed through it. In this book, there was a detailed description of the development of gunpowder, as well as its ignition and power. At the same time, there was also a detailed description of landmines and grenades.
Dan Yangzi's eyes widened when he roughly read through it. His face was full of disbelief.
Gunpowder!
Landmines!
Grenades!
This weapon could be called a divine artifact.
If it could be produced according to the book and reach the power of the book, then the war in the world would change because of it. This was something that was bound to happen.
Dan Yangzi took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, can such a divine artifact really be made?"
"Of course!"
Du Qi nodded.
Dan Yangzi said, "This was invented by Your Highness?"
Du Qi also smiled and nodded.
When it came to gunpowder, Du Qi didn't refuse or hide anything. He directly admitted it.
Dan Yangzi said, "Your Highness' talent is like a gift from the heavens. It's my fortune to be able to follow His Highness. But Your Highness, when it comes to the development of gunpowder, landmines, and grenades, according to the book, once an explosion occurs, the impact will be huge. Therefore, this situation needs to be slightly more remote. Otherwise, it will be extremely easy for others to notice. "
Du Qi said, "You've thought it through very thoroughly. The development of gunpowder must indeed be done cautiously. This is a secret that must not be leaked. But if it was leaked, it would be helping the enemy. After all, this weapon is the foundation of our standing. "
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "Therefore, according to This King's considerations, you should focus on gathering raw materials and buying as many as possible. Here's the money. I'll give you a note. You can get the money directly from Yuan Yin. "
At this point, Du Qi took out the map of Yiwu City and looked at the situation on the map. His gaze fell on the northeast direction of Yiwu County and he said, "Dan Yangzi, there is an undulating mountain range in the northeast direction of this county."
"We should be able to find an open area in the mountains."
"Therefore, this King's plan is to turn this area into a restricted military area and build factories here. At the same time, soldiers will be stationed here to ensure the smooth development of weapons. What do you think? "
Du Qi asked with a smile.
Dan Yangzi said, "This humble Daoist agrees with Your Highness' judgment. Also, because it's in the northeast region, there are many roads that can't be crossed. There's only one road that can pass through. When the time comes, we can also guard the checkpoint and seal off the area at any time. "
Du Qi said, "That's what I mean."
After saying that, Du Qi began to write two orders. The first order was for Yuan Yin to allocate funds to Dan Yangzi. The second order was to assign the area to Dan Yangzi, as well as the arrangements for Dan Yangzi to conscript soldiers and craftsmen.
Everything must be done according to Dan Yangzi's arrangements.
After handing the letter to Dan Yangzi, Du Qi said, "Dan Yangzi, there are a lot of things to do. Are you able to handle all these matters by yourself? Do you need this King to send someone to assist you? "
Dan Yangzi said, "Your Highness, I don't need anyone to assist me. This humble Daoist will arrange for people to be responsible for the deployment and stationing of the army. As for the construction of the houses, this humble Daoist will arrange for specialized craftsmen to be in charge of each matter. This humble Daoist will be in charge of everything. "
After a pause, Dan Yangzi continued, "This humble Daoist's main task is only the research and development of gunpowder, grenades, and landmines. Please rest assured, Your Highness. This humble Daoist will complete Your Highness's arrangements in the shortest time possible. "
A bright smile appeared on Du Qi's face when he heard Dan Yangzi's words.
Dan Yangzi said that he didn't understand anything, but from Dan Yangzi's words, it was clear that he handled things well. Such a person was definitely not incompetent.
Du Qi believed in Dan Yangzi's ability.
Du Qi waved his hand, and Dan Yangzi got up and excused himself. However, when Dan Yangzi walked to the door, Du Qi said, "Dan Yangzi, your body has just recovered. You still need to recuperate. So, there's no need to rush things. Take care of your body first. It won't be too late to do things after your body has recovered. "
Dan Yangzi turned around and said seriously, "Rest assured, Your Highness. This humble Daoist's body is fine. Moreover, I'm just going to buy some materials. It won't be a problem. Please rest assured, Your Highness. This humble Daoist knows what he's doing. "
Du Qi nodded.
After Dan Yangzi left, Du Qi continued to busy himself with his own matters.
Now, the various matters had already begun.
This was a good thing.
What Du Qi needed to do now was to strengthen the foundation of Yiwu County so that it would be easier for Du Qi to start expanding. If Du Qi did not have a stable backer and wanted to gradually grow stronger, even if he obtained territory, there would be hidden dangers. Therefore, he had to fight steadily.
Time flowed by. A day passed in the blink of an eye. After the sky turned completely dark, the entire Yiwu County City had already quieted down. There was no longer any clamor or noise, only silence.
Du Qi also went to bed early.
Early the next morning.
Liu Zhengxi had already brought Bard to find the location of the gold mine. Everyone was busy with their own tasks. When it was close to noon, Liu Jian entered to report that Yuan Yin had requested an audience.
Du Qi asked Liu Jian to inform Yuan Yin to enter. Liu Jian went to inform him. After a while, Yuan Yin entered. After bowing and sitting down, he went straight to the point. "Your Highness, during the day, Dan Yangzi came to collect money with your letter."
"In fact, he collected a sum of money last night. He's here again today."
"He's already collected a lot of money in the past two days. Your Highness, Dan Yangzi is a sorcerer. A sorcerer like him is a swindler. He definitely can't be trusted. "
Yuan Yin said, "Your Highness gave him the letter and gave him a chance to collect money. Your Highness, please reconsider."
Du Qi smiled. "Mr. Yuan, Dan Yangzi didn't collect money for alchemy. It's for a secret mission. Right now, you only need to support him with all your might. There will be results in three months at most. You'll know the results then. "
