"Do you really think so?" Li MIngzhu looked at him with a complicated look in her eyes.
Doubts, surprise, and a hint of understanding. All kinds of emotions were mixed together. She felt pity and puzzled that he had abandoned himself to live and wait for death despite his unparalleled talent …
Li Yi's eyes were sincere. He nodded his head seriously and said, "Yes."
"Don't forget what you said just now."
The Princess was a little disappointed when she left, but Li Yi felt a lot more relaxed.
Shen Liang was a talent. Although he was born in a humble family, his talent could not be buried no matter how lowly his status was. He invented "Tian Fa", an important national weapon. It made the Jing Kingdom, which was not very powerful, have another powerful weapon in the rise of other countries. Now that the Qi Kingdom had invaded the Jing Kingdom, the border was unstable, and the people had no way to make a living. However, this was only temporary. It would not be long before things would settle down again.
The country called "Qi" would definitely have a taste of the power of the Jing Kingdom's "Tian Fa". Before they could think of a way to break it, the two countries could live in peace and friendship for a long time and develop together.
As for the name "Shen Liang", it would be remembered in history. He was the inventor of black gunpowder. The black clay pot with rusty metal pieces was used to reap the lives of the enemies on the battlefield. The era of cold weapons that lasted for thousands of years had experienced its first major turning point because of this name …
As Li Yi was thinking about these things, he was accompanying Ruyi and the others on the street. After the four of them had a family meeting during dinner, they decided to move from Ruyi Workshop to their new home.
There was no other reason. In addition to the front of the Ruyi Workshop, there were two bedrooms at the back. One was for Li Yi, and the other was for Ruyi, Ruyi, and Xiao Huan. It was fine for a few days, but after a long time, it would be very inconvenient to squeeze in.
In comparison, the new house was much bigger. Other than the kitchen and the storage room, there were three bedrooms, and the area of the rooms was also bigger. Although it was still not enough for everyone to have their own room, it was much better than Ruyi Square.
Today, they came out to buy some things for the house. The house was complete with large pieces of furniture, but there were still some small things that needed to be bought. The four of them strolled on the street for the whole afternoon and went back when it was time to cook. Li Yi carried a lot of things in his hands and decided that it would be better to go out with them less in the future.
Second Great Uncle, who had moved to the opposite courtyard, was reluctant to part with the rocking chair, so he sent Fang and the others to the stockade village to bring it down. Li Yi also asked him to bring his own chair over. Uncle Han was old, and it took a lot of effort to make a chair, so it was better not to torture the old man.
When Ruyi and Xiao Huan were cooking, MIngzhu sent someone to summon Li Yi.
"This is what he used last night." MIngzhu pointed to an item on the table in the courtyard and said.
Shen Liang, who had just met not long ago, stood respectfully in the courtyard.
In a short period of two days, his life had undergone a major change. He was extremely respectful to this noble person in front of him, who was obviously of high status.
If not for her, he would still be doing odd jobs in the brothel, earning a few copper coins every day, just to fill his stomach. The girl he liked had become someone else's concubine, and he could only sigh at the moon every night …
Li Yi lowered his head to take a look. It was a black jar. The mouth was sealed with mud, and a long lead was drawn out from the outside. From the outside, it did not look much different from the thing he had made.
The only more obvious difference was that the jar used by the other party was slightly uglier.
Li Yi had the experience of the predecessors, that was why he could make this thing effortlessly. But Shen Liang was different. In this era, to be able to find the best ratio of gunpowder, he must have gone through at least thousands of experiments, or maybe the hard work of a few generations. His understanding of gunpowder was much stronger than Li Yi's.
MIngzhu looked at him and asked doubtfully, "The 'Heaven's Punishment' made according to the recipe, why is its power so much weaker than what you said?"
"Maybe, you can try, crush it a little more, as much as you want, then find some eggs, pick out the egg white, don't want the egg yolk, use wooden chopsticks to mix it, let it condense into small granules, then use a bamboo sieve to sift it continuously, the size of mung bean or rice grain will do, finally sift out the suitable size granules and put them into the jar to compact them …" Li Yi looked at her and said, "Of course, this is only a suggestion, as for whether it will work or not, I cannot guarantee …"
"Also, remember, this thing can't be exposed to open fire, not even a spark. When preparing, it's best not to have any ironware around, if this thing explodes, it'll be terrible …"
"Also, remember, when it's raining, this thing can't be used …" Li Yi pointed at Shen Liang and said, "He should know quite a lot about these things. In the future, if he tries to explore more, the power should be able to increase a lot, I don't know much more … That's enough, dinner is almost ready, see you later …"
After saying that, he waved his hand casually and strode back.
If there was no need, it was better to keep a distance from this thing, he did not want to be the Nobel Prize of this world. For things like gunpowder, it was best to avoid it as far as possible, it was absolutely right.
MIngzhu looked at Li Yi helplessly as he left like he was escaping, rubbed her eyebrows, then turned to look at Shen Liang and asked, "What he said just now, did you remember it?"
"I remembered it all," Shen Liang nodded and said hurriedly.
A few generations of his family had been developing this, he already knew a lot of things that the Lord said just now, but there were some things that he heard for the first time, at this moment, he silently remembered it in his heart, to slowly experiment in the future.
When Li Xuan walked in, he just happened to meet Li Yi walking out, he was about to raise his head to greet, but saw him waving his hand and walking straight past him.
He scratched his head in confusion, and when he walked forward, Ming Zhu, who was standing there a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen.
"What's going on?"
Li Xuan's face was full of confusion, why did they all hide from him?
When the guard of the imperial residence returned that day, he immediately reported the situation to him, knowing that Li Yi's family was safe, he was no longer worried. He did not find Li Yi at Ruyi Lane, so he came over to ask MIngzhu what exactly happened that night.
But it was obvious that the two of them had just discussed something, but they did not want him to know, which made Li Xuan a little confused.
It was similar to the feeling when he was young in the palace, when the princes played, they never brought him along …
He felt a little depressed and wronged, he knew MIngzhu more than ten years earlier than Li Yi, and he knew Li Yi long before MIngzhu, why now, the two of them were "sticking to each other like glue", isolating him?
