Yun Yi brought Yun Xue 'er to look around for a while before returning to the manor. He also sternly warned Yun Xue' er not to go out casually.
This was because Yun Yi was afraid. If Yun Xue 'er secretly ran out and met a bad person, what would she do? If she got lost, what would she do? If…
These were all things that Yun Yi was worried about. He did not know why he was like this either. He had also come into contact with many people of this era.
The servants of the Li family in Chang 'an were all very simple and honest people. They seemed to be people who had not been baptized by the secular world and had not entered the big dyeing workshop of society. They treated people sincerely and politely.
These people once made Yun Yi wonder if the people of this era were all like this. However, when he saw Third Aunt Li and thought of those people and things in history, he dispelled this thought. He should not underestimate anyone.
Sometimes, small characters could play a big role. In this era, small characters could also make a comeback, just like Cheng Yaojin, who was born in the wilderness and left his name in history with three axes.
Yun Yi felt that as long as he was in the Li family's manor, nothing would happen. As long as he stayed by Third Aunt Li's side, nothing would happen.
This was because there was a camp at the back of the Li Village Garden. It was filled with soldiers that Sanniang Li had recruited in the past three days. Some were veterans, some were refugees, and there were also some volunteer soldiers.
Ma Sanbao was similar to what was described in the history books. With his glib tongue, he began to rope in the surrounding rebel soldiers and bandits, making them follow the Li family to cause trouble.
Yun Yi felt that this Ma Sanbao was simply the strongest diplomat. He did not waste a single soldier. As long as he was alone, he could actually rope in three rebel armies for Sanniang Li. In total, there were already more than 3,000 people.
Don't underestimate these 3,000 people. In this era, population wasn't like the future, which directly became a disaster.
These 3,000 people were trained in the camp at the back of the Li family's manor. Yun Yi had never left the Li family's manor. However, near the back of the mountain, he could hear the sound of soldiers training. It was not one, two, three, four, standing at attention or at ease.
It was the simplest slogan.
"Kill them!"
Every morning, he could hear the sound coming from the back of the mountain. It felt like hell, and the angry roars surged.
The noise was so loud that many refugees could hear it. The people outside the manor could also hear it, but no one reported it or suspected it.
Those people in Chang 'an knew that Li Sanniang had run away, but they did not search thoroughly. They only wanted to dig up her ancestral graves.
Yun Yi really did not know what the Underworld Master was thinking. Such a person was a fool.
He knew that the Great Sui Dynasty was already at its end, but he still did not think for his children and family. Instead, he thought about the Great Sui Dynasty.
He was not the master of the Sui Dynasty. As the Yang family's territory, Yang Guang did not say anything. He only wanted to drink and have fun. He already knew that the Sui Dynasty was hopeless, but he still insisted.
The most awesome thing was that he actually went straight to the Li family's ancestral grave. What a special hobby.
Those rebellious dukes also had ancestral graves and families, but he didn't do anything. When he arrived at the Li family, he directly dug up the ancestral graves. He was really amazing.
The people of this era valued their ancestral homes and graves much more than the people of the later generations. The later generations moved from the countryside to the city and forgot about their hometown in just a few years. Worshipping their ancestors was just the simplest form.
However, in this era, everyone valued their ancestral home and ancestral grave. They could definitely risk their lives because this represented their status and glory.
The fallen leaves returned to their roots. They hoped that after they died, they could still reunite with their ancestors in the underworld. They also hoped that their ancestors could protect them.
"How hateful!"
"This Underworld Master is too hateful. I thought that he was still a famous figure. Back then, he resisted the Xiongnu in the north and was brave and good at fighting. He became a great general. Such a person should be considered an upright person. I didn't expect him to do such a thing. Hmph! When Chang 'an falls, it will be your death. Yin Family, I will remember this debt in my heart.”
Sanniang Li had originally planned to go and see the results of the training of the soldiers in the camp. However, after receiving the news that the Underworld Master had dug up the Li family's ancestral grave, she gritted her teeth and smashed many things.
This was also the first time Yun Yi had seen Sanniang Li like this. She was as furious as a tiger and could kill at any moment.
"Since things have already come to this, why are you so angry? It's not worth it to damage your body. Didn't you say that when the city falls, it will be his death?”
Sanniang Li looked at Yun Yi at the door and took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then, she said,"Thank you for your advice. I have already recruited 3,000 people. If we attack Yu County directly, how confident are we?”
Yun Yi did not pay attention to the matter of attacking the city and seizing territory. According to history, Sanniang Li began to attack Yu County in September. Moreover, there was another person at that time. This person was also recorded in history. It was that Hu merchant, He Panren.
Up until now, he had not seen He Panren, so Ma Sanbao definitely had not roped him in yet. If he only relied on three thousand people to attack Yu County, to be honest, Yun Yi really did not have confidence.
However, when he saw Third Aunt Li's expectant gaze and her slight weakness, Yun Yi swallowed the words he wanted to say and changed his meaning.
"If you can wait for me for ten days and promise me a few things, we will have a 70% chance of success.”
Sanniang Li looked at Yun Yi and nodded."If your conditions are within my ability, then I will definitely agree to them. Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
Yun Yi almost said," I like you, so you shouldn't be with Chai Shao. As long as you leave him, I can definitely help you. It won't be a problem for me to attack Chang 'an."
However, he didn't dare to say these words because he was afraid that if he said it, Sanniang Li would immediately reject him and say something he didn't want to hear.
"I need a large amount of wine and a few craftsmen who are more flexible. I want to make something. As long as I succeed, we will be confident.”
Sanniang Li asked in disbelief,"Is that all?"
"Yes, that's all!"
Third Aunt Li thought that Yun Yi had finally revealed his true colors and needed to borrow her strength to do something. He proposed some excessive conditions, such as beauties, gold, or official positions.
However, he never expected Yun Yi to actually mention that he needed a large amount of wine and craftsmen. What did he need wine for?
"You're still young and can't drink. Drinking is harmful to your body and will delay things.”
Yun Yi knew that Third Aunt Li would definitely think the wrong way, so he explained directly,"I want to use wine to make a siege weapon. You'll know when the time comes.”
"Alright, I'll do it now!"
Yun Yi originally did not want to bring out that kind of craftsmanship. After all, in this era, one could eat for a lifetime if they mastered a craft.
In this era, wine was like a beverage. The alcohol content was not very high. If it was further processed, it would definitely taste much better than ordinary wine and be more popular.
At that time, this would be the way to get rich. It would definitely make Yun Yi the richest person in the world. With money, he would have a good life.
But now, this skill was about to be contributed. Yun Yi felt his heart bleeding.
Sanniang Li was very efficient. In less than half a day, ten jars of wine and five craftsmen were piled up in the small courtyard.
Yun Yi had already prepared a simple blueprint of the retorting equipment. A large pot, a lid with a round hole, and a pipe. It was really the simplest retorting equipment.
"This big pot should be able to be bought. As for the lid with a round hole, I need you to make it immediately. This hole is like this, and it can be inserted into the bamboo tube. As for this right-angle bamboo tube, I also need you to make it. Now, we'll split the work. Those who are suitable to make the lid will make this bamboo tube for me.”
Yun Yi first understood the abilities of these craftsmen and then began to arrange tasks.
Sanniang Li had been watching from the side, but she couldn't understand anything. What kind of siege weapon could a big pot, a lid, a bamboo tube, and wine be made into?
"There's no one around now. Can you explain what you're doing? I'm a little curious."
Yun Yi said to the wooden door of the courtyard,"Most city walls and gates are made of wood. If we want to attack a city, we will either use a ladder or a wooden stake. This method is too time-consuming and risky. Therefore, we need a weapon to attack the city when it is unprepared. The alcohol content of this wine is not high and cannot be burned. If I evaporate it, it will burn very well. If it is stored in a sealed jar, it can explode. At that time, the city gate will become a waste.”
Sanniang Li didn't believe it. She looked at the ten jars of wine and frowned."Can wine really burn?"
"Of course it's true."
"Then, when we drink wine, will it burn directly?”
Yun Yi shook his head and explained," I've already said that the alcohol content of the wine we're drinking now is too low. Therefore, it can't be burned. We need to process it."”
Sanniang Li nodded and said to Yun Yi,"If the wine you make this time can really blow up that city gate, then you will have made a great contribution!”
"I'm still young. What's the use of getting credit? I'm already your kitchen manager now. I can be considered a professional person. Moreover, I can't spend money now. You don't have money either, so remember it first.”
Sanniang Li reached out and grabbed Yun Yi's ear, lecturing him,"When you see it, you can owe me the credit first and pay me back in the future. In a few years, you'll become a crown prince. At that time, you'll need to get married and have children to carry on the Yun family line.”
Yun Yi directly touched Sanniang Li's hand and gently twisted it. Then, he said loudly,"It hurts. Let go. I said something wrong, okay? "Also, I…I don't want to get married so early. I can only get married after I find someone I like. Otherwise, how can I live? Marriage is not just about carrying on the family line. I don't want to become a tool to have children.”
Third Aunt Li felt that Yun Yi was really different from other youths, especially his way of thinking. She really believed that Yun Yi had been taught by a mysterious master.
