" Your Majesty, Your Majesty…"
"Something big has happened! Not good, not good."
Zhangsun Wuji rushed in with a panicked expression.
"What happened?"
Li Er, who was dealing with the memorial, looked at him and took a sip of tea."What happened to the horseshoes?”
"Your Majesty, I don't have that!"
Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly said.
" Oh…" Li Er heaved a sigh of relief.
This Zhangsun Wuji was shocked. It was good that it was not this matter.
Li Er was really afraid that something would happen to the horseshoes and delay his attack on the Turks.
? "Other than this, what else is there?”
Li Er was very relaxed.
He was very happy today.
"By the way, so many days have passed. Have the water hooves been officially produced?”
"These days are getting shorter and shorter.”
Zhangsun Wuji was helpless. Why did His Majesty keep holding on to the horseshoe?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is in the midst of an orderly production.”
"You don't have to worry about this. I'll definitely complete the mission!”
"This time, I'm here for something even bigger!”
Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly said.
He was afraid that Li Er would continue to ask about the horseshoes.
"Something bigger? What is it?"
"Hehe…What else can you do? Who embezzled? Or is it negligence?"
As Li Er spoke, he poured Zhangsun Wuji a cup of tea.
"Or could it be that Feng 'er knows about his background?”
Li Er laughed.
"Ancestors, do you think Zhen's performance in today's morning court was alright?”
Right now, Li Er's mind was still filled with scenes from the morning court session.
Good boy!
When he mentioned the matter of the martial arts examination and the punctuations, all the officials in the court were excited.
All of them knelt down and said that the emperor was the king of the golden age and that the golden age had arrived!
In any case, he kept praising himself.
Hehe, Li Er was a little embarrassed.
This had not happened for a long time.
Even the officials of the aristocratic families were sincere. It could be seen that they also agreed with the matter of the martial arts examination.
Li Er was filled with pride.
Happy!
Comfortable.
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
He scratched his head hard, walked up, opened the small bag in his hand, and placed it on the table.
He didn't answer Li Er's question and spoke directly.
"Your Majesty, what do you think this is?"
" Huh?"
"Isn't this salt?" Li Er looked at it.”
As he spoke, Li Er even stretched out a finger and placed it in his mouth.
"It's indeed salt, right? Ancestors, what's wrong? What's the matter?"
Li Er was puzzled.
This was the salt that they usually ate.
"But, Your Majesty, this is a little different.”Zhangsun Wuji said in a deep voice.
"Different? What do you mean?" Li Er frowned.
If there was a problem with the salt, it was indeed a big deal.
Li Er suddenly became nervous.
"Your Majesty, this salt is cheap.”Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Er without blinking.
Li Er also looked at him.
"And then?"
Li Er saw that Zhangsun Wuji did not speak for a long time and asked.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a big deal? It was cheap! It was much cheaper than the salt on the market!”Zhangsun Wuji deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
"How much?" "How cheap can this salt be?" Li Er was curious.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the reason why I said something important.”
"Your Majesty, this salt is really cheap!" Zhangsun Wuji slammed the table. Previously, whether it was the saltworks of our imperial court, the five surnames, the Seven Wangs, or other large salt merchants, the price of salt was basically ten strings of coins per catty!”
"But this, as long as it's Yiguan, you can buy one catty!”
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes widened.
"Is it that cheap?" Li Er frowned.”
"Ten times the price? So big? Where did they get this salt from?"
"I don't know either!"
"I just learned of this matter and came to report it to Your Majesty.”
Zhangsun Wuji replied.
Today, he passed by a salt shop. He did not expect a long line to form outside. This was impossible before.
Ordinary people could not afford salt, so they used vinegar cloth to make a living.
But today, they actually queued up to buy salt. It was too unexpected.
Zhangsun Wuji asked around and did not expect the price of salt to be so low. Then, he rushed over to see Li Er.
Li Er nodded." But…this is indeed salt. It tastes exactly the same."”
"Who sold this?"
"The five surnames and seven Wangs, Your Majesty, these seven families have started selling at the same time.”Zhangsun Wuji replied.
"Oh." Li Er understood and wiped his fingers with a handkerchief. He did not take it to heart."Then go and investigate the origin of this salt.”
"Yes, sir! Your Majesty, should we stop now?”
"The price is so low. I'm afraid there's something wrong with the salt.”
" I've asked around. This kind of salt has become popular in Chang 'an. It can be said that it has monopolized most of the market once it was launched. It won't take long for other shops to collapse at such a low price. Even if it's the imperial court's, it's estimated that..."
Zhangsun Wuji asked cautiously.
His intuition told him that this matter was very strange. There must be something fishy going on.
Li Er smiled and shook his head." Forget it. Why are we shutting down for no reason? Just because the price is low?"”
"What kind of reason is that?"
"Besides, the people won't agree.”
"If they want to sell salt at a low price, let them sell it. This is also a good thing, isn't it?”
"Good news! This is a great thing. If this can make all the people in the world able to afford salt, I have to thank them.”
Zhangsun Wuji nodded.
That was true.
If they were to close their shops because of the low price, the people of Chang 'an would probably explode.
Perhaps, the five surnames and seven Wangs were waiting for him to do so.
After all, he couldn't say anything about this matter. Although the price of salt was low, he hadn't found any problems so far.
"Oh right, auxiliary machine, let's go. I'm happy today. Let's go for a walk at the Rich Manor. I haven't seen Feng 'er for a long time.”
"Really…Aiya, I miss you!”
Li Er stood up." Let's go and change our clothes."”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly replied.”
Soon, a carriage sped out from the side door.
·········
Riches Manor!
Li Feng clapped his hands.
There were six handmade firecrackers in front of him.
This was the first prototype of gunpowder.
He wiped his hands and looked at the sun.
"It's time to sign in again." Li Feng muttered to himself and opened the system.
" Ding…Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Holy Medical Bible."
Hmm?
Li Feng was slightly shocked.
Saint Doctor?
This thing was really lacking.
They came at the right time.
Li Feng quickly opened his Backpack.
It had to be said that in a place like the Great Tang, when one fell sick, they could only endure it and then rely on treatment and the heavens.
It couldn't be helped. The Great Tang's medical skills were a little lacking.
Therefore, Li Feng had always paid attention to hygiene. He was afraid that if he fell ill, there would be no doctor or anything like that. In the end, he would die.
In this era, no matter how small the illness was, there was a chance of death.
Now, the reward for signing in seemed to have solved the current urgent problem.
In his backpack, a book was quietly stored.
He clicked and used it.
Words and pictures suddenly appeared in his mind.
Li Feng took a simple look and couldn't help but gasp.
Good boy!
This was too damn strong.
It seemed to have recorded all kinds of prescriptions. It was simply a medical encyclopedia.
Awesome.
Li Feng even saw that even in his previous life, there was a prescription for a very troublesome illness here.
Hiss…
Comfortable!
Li Feng clapped his hands and sat on the recliner.
This was a good thing. He wanted to take a good look.
In the Great Tang, with his peerless martial arts and medical skills, he really had nothing to fear.
Haha…
All that was left was to enjoy the good times.
However, Li Feng had just read the first prescription when Li Er's voice came from outside.
"Is Little Langjun here? Is Xiao Langjun here?"
"I'm Old Li!"
Li Er pushed the door open and entered.
Zhangsun Wuji followed behind.
"Ah? Old Li, it's been a long time since you've come to my place.”Li Feng invited them to sit down.
"Hehe, I'm just worried about your health.”
"I heard that you had a fierce battle in the Bright Moon Pavilion for a whole night, so I wanted to let you have a good rest.”
Li Er joked with a smile.
Wu Tong, who was about to pour some water, snorted coldly.
"Young Master, drink more and take good care of your body.”
Li Feng smiled bitterly.
Wu Tong filled her cup, put down the teapot, and returned to the backyard.
This third girl…
It was true. When they returned to the inn the day before yesterday, the three of them had kept their eyes open and waited for the entire night.
"Alright, Old Li, stop teasing me.”Li Feng rubbed his nose.
" Sigh…How is this a joke? Langjun, you don't know. It's all over Chang 'an.”
"With martial arts skills, he swept through thousands of troops and killed a noble family in front of the Bright Moon Pavilion!”
"Impressive, impressive. I admire you!"
Li Er chuckled.
He looked at Li Feng." Back then, we didn't know it was you, but someone said that it was the Great Saint of the Three Saints. Only then did we know it was you."”
"That's not right. You didn't come to find us when you came to Chang 'an, but went straight to the Bright Moon Pavilion.”
Li Feng waved his hand.
" Aiya, it's just a little bit of kung fu. It's nothing, haha..."
Li Feng said perfunctorily.
"Langjun, you're being too modest.”
"But, Langjun, I heard that you taught Cheng Chumo two methods?”
Li Er asked again mysteriously. He wanted to confirm,"You became Cheng Chumo's big brother?"
Li Feng nodded and shrugged helplessly."If this fellow insists on admitting it, then so be it.”
"Aiyo, I knew it. Langjun, you don't know, but His Majesty is very happy with these two methods, and all the officials are convinced.”
"God! It's too godly!"
Li Er was still immersed in the scene of the officials submitting to him in the morning.
He couldn't extricate himself.
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
Those who didn't know would really think that it was Li Er's own idea.
Suddenly, he saw the firecrackers on the table. He looked at them in his hands a few times and asked curiously,"Hey, Langjun, what's this?”
Li Feng glanced at him.
"Oh, these are firecrackers."
"Firecrackers?"
"What is it?"
Zhangsun Wuji was puzzled.
Li Er immediately looked over.
The size of a finger, a fuse…
It was very simple.
What was the use?
Li Feng sat up and exhaled.”
Soon, Wu Tong handed the incense over.
Li Feng lit it up and quickly threw it out.
"Bang!"
A crisp explosion sounded.
Clean and neat.
Immediately after, green smoke rose to the sky.
The smell of burning gunpowder filled the air.
"F * ck!"
Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji stood up immediately.
What happened?
The two of them were dumbfounded.
Why was there thunder in broad daylight? It wasn't big, but…
Li Feng smiled and closed his eyes.
Hiss…
He took a deep breath.
How nostalgic.
This smell…
Upwards!
"Langjun, was there thunder just now?”Li Erchao looked around.
"What is this sound? Why is there thunder?" Zhangsun Wuji was also stunned.
Li Feng smiled lightly. He picked up another firecracker and waved it in front of the two of them."It's this thing. Have you seen it before?"
As he spoke, Li Feng lit it again and threw it out.
"Bang!"
It was exactly the same as before.
Li Er patted his ear. He was sure that he had not heard wrongly.
"Amazing, really amazing. It can actually make such a loud sound.”Li Er went over and picked up one excitedly. He imitated Li Feng and lit it up before throwing it out.
"Bang!"
“········”
"Alright, don't finish playing. Leave two.”Li Feng said with a smile.
"It seems interesting." Li Er smiled.
"This is gunpowder." Li Feng said.
"This is gunpowder?" Li Er frowned and looked at the place where the firecrackers were set off."What's the use? Listen to it?"
Zhangsun Wuji was also curious.
Was this the gunpowder that had been so mysterious earlier?
"Then tell me, what's the use?" Li Feng laughed.”
"I wonder if these can be put together? If that was the case, it would be quite interesting during the holidays.”Li Er thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, you can pray for rain? This sound was similar to thunder, although it was a little soft.”Zhangsun Wuji said after a long time.
" Haha…" Li Feng laughed.
These people didn't have much of an idea about the use of gunpowder.
"Langjun, could it be that there are other uses?”
"What you said is too shallow.”Li Feng stretched out his arm and changed to a comfortable position.
Shallow?
Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji were confused.
They really couldn't think of any other use.
Li Feng smiled and lit another firecracker.
But this time, he covered it with a teacup.
"Bang!"
"Kacha…"
As the sound rang out, the teacup shattered.
Li Er's eyes twitched.
Suddenly, he thought of something…
"This thing has a great use. Perhaps you can't see it now, but because it's small, think about it. What if I make a large firecracker?”
"At that time, humans will be like this teacup, easily torn apart.”
Li Feng said with a smile.
Li Er was stunned.
Zhangsun Wuji suddenly fell silent.
They stared at the broken teacup.
Li Feng laughed.
He knew that the knowledge of these two people severely restricted their thinking.
They probably didn't have any concept of bombs.
"Think about it, if I fill a huge thing with gunpowder and put it in a crowd to explode, then I'm going to kill it.”
"That scene, haha…"
"How terrifying."
"No one can escape."
"The efficiency of this thing in killing people is more than a hundred times that of ordinary swords! Moreover, it had endless potential, but the upper limit of swords and sabers had already been reached.”
"So what if it's sharp?"
Li Feng said faintly.
Li Er was a little dazed.
Suddenly, he shivered.
That's right!
If a huge firecracker was placed in the crowd, would those people be able to explain themselves with this teacup?
The answer was obvious. No!
"Gulp…"
"Langjun, what are you doing with this?”
Zhangsun Wuji asked numbly.
Following Li Feng's description, an image appeared in his mind.
"What are you doing?"
"Hehe, what can I do? Why are you so nervous? I'm not rebelling.”
"Haha, you two, are you afraid?”
"This thing has more than one use! It was very, very useful! It could be said that the future development of the Great Tang could not do without it.”
"Exploding mountains, mining, building roads, building irrigation works, engineering explosions, and so on.”
Li Feng said with a smile.
Li Er nodded slowly.
He exhaled heavily.
"Then…can you give me one?”
"No!" "What do you want it for?" Li Feng refused directly. Don't worry, I'll give you some fireworks when I'm done.”
"What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"I haven't been here for a long time. Do you want some?"
Li Feng looked at the sun. It was too late. When Li Er arrived today, it was already very late.
"Okay…okay!" Li Er agreed.
However, he was still thinking about the firecrackers.
It lingered for a long time.
Li Er was wise, and he made many connections.
Fortunately!
Fortunately, this thing was in Li Feng's hands!
Li Er suddenly felt a little scared.
That teacup seemed to be able to be exchanged for anything.
People, crowds, ships, even a city, the entire Great Tang, the entire Turks…
Li Er was a little depressed during the meal.
After dinner, they chatted for a while before Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji went back.
"Let's go!" This time, Li Er didn't get into the car.
"I haven't taken a good look at Riches Manor yet.”
Li Er said.
Zhangsun Wuji naturally agreed.
"Your Majesty, are you still worried about the gunpowder?”Zhangsun Wuji also saw through Li Er's thoughts.
"Yes!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. You should be happy.”Zhangsun Wuji smiled." This thing will appear sooner or later. Now that His Highness has discovered it and not someone else hiding in the dark, this should be a good thing."”
"What do you think?"
"I know!" Li Er took a deep breath." But I didn't expect that there would be such a magical power."”
"Haha, movable type printing is also very magical. His Majesty had seen something similar before, so it was easy for him to accept it.”Zhangsun Wuji said.
Li Er stretched his arms.
"Yes, I am!"
"This brat, I don't know how he can remember so many messy things.”
Li Er thought it through.
"Eh? What are those people doing?" Suddenly, Li Er looked forward.
In front of them, a group of people were each holding a bag of things and pouring them into the sewers.
White Flower…
It was very dazzling!
That was…
Hiss…
Suddenly, Zhangsun Wuji took a deep breath.
Salt?
No way!
