Mercury was also known as mercury.
In ancient times, it had many uses. Daoists used it to refine pills, some people used it to treat illnesses, and some brothels used it to abort girls.
Guo Sheng was in the business of selling mercury.
Meeting Guo Sheng, Zhao Kai remembered something.
It was still the problem of the gun's reloading.
He believed that a gun could only be considered a real gun after it was loaded.
The biggest problem with the reloading was the " primer ".
The key to the fire was the mercury fulminate.
Mercury fulminate was a grayish-white crystal that was very sensitive to needles and impacts.
Only a primer filled with mercury fulminate could shoot the bullet the moment the trigger was pulled.
To synthesize mercury fulminate, the most important things were mercury and alcohol.
The Ministry of Works had yet to get the salt and iron monopoly rights from Cai Jing.
However, it didn't stop the Ministry of Works from starting the Distillation Workshop now.
He would store the distilled liquor that could not be brewed.
It was a high-grade grain wine. The more it was stored, the richer it became.
Distilled liquor could be refined into high-purity alcohol after continuous purification.
There was alcohol and mercury.
The research and development of mercury fulminate should be put on the agenda.
When Lu Fang and Guo Sheng learned that the person who defeated them was the number one expert in Hebei, the Jade Qilin, Lu Junyi.
The other man was the Tiger Slaying Hero Wu Song, the instructor of the 800,000-strong Imperial Army, Lin Chong, and the last one was the Governor Lu of the Western Garrison.
The two of them were instantly dumbfounded.
Immediately after, he was flustered!
He didn't even ask around and came out to rob them, it was too embarrassing.
The two of them knelt in front of Zhao Kai.
"We were muddle-headed and misunderstood big brother. We didn't know how high the sky was and offended big brother.”
Zhao Kai reached out to help the two of them up." Get up. You can't blame those who don't know. In the future, you can't be so reckless. If you're used by someone with ulterior motives, you'll end up killing yourself."”
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were both ashamed and touched.
Zhao Huan's brother's righteousness is as high as the sky, and thousands of people are born Buddha.
They had only heard a few words and had already rudely offended the Robbery Dao.
Not only did Brother Zhao Huan not blame them, but he also patiently reminded them.
Brother is indeed the Buddha of all living beings. He's a good person!
"Brother, if you don't mind my low strength, I'm willing to follow you. I'll be at your beck and call without any complaints." Lu Fang said loudly.”
Guo Sheng also said,"This little brother is also willing to follow big brother, thank you, but it's up to you."”
Zhao Kai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Lu Fang handed it over to Lu Junyi to let him guide him on martial arts.
Lu Fang was naturally overjoyed.
Lu Junyi also liked this stupid kid.
She might as well accept him.
Zhao Kai believed that with Lu Junyi's guidance, Lu Fang's achievements would definitely be even higher.
As for Guo Sheng, he had other arrangements.
"Guo Sheng, do you know where cinnabar ores are produced?”
Guo Sheng's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up."Big brother is an expert. You know that mercury comes from cinnabar ores. This little brother does know of a cinnabar ore mine.”
Zhao Kai patted his shoulder and said,"I'll arrange a job for you. Go to Yun Wang Mansion in the capital and find a person called Chen Ji. Ask him for money and people to buy more cinnabar mines.”
"Alright…"
Guo Sheng immediately reacted,"Go to Yun Wang Mansion?" Then who is Chen Ji?"
Lu Fang also looked over.
Zhao Kai nodded slightly.
Lu Junyi then said proudly," Since the two of you are on the same side, there's no harm in telling you. The brother you speak of, his true identity is actually the Third Prince of the Great Song, His Highness Yun Wang. He is the Grand Marshal of the world's military forces and is in charge of the Palace Marshal's Office. This time, His Highness is patrolling on behalf of Heaven.”
"It's your luck to be able to become his highness 'subordinates.”
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were dumbfounded when they heard this.
The brother they had just acknowledged was actually the current Yun Prince.
Oh my god!
No wonder Lu Junyi, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, and Lin Chong were willing to follow him.
No wonder the corrupt officials and evil thieves were killed and the people were saved.
So it was His Highness Yun Wang.
The two of them prostrated themselves on the ground again." I was blind and did not recognize Mount Tai. I offended Your Highness. Please punish me, Your Highness."”
Zhao Kai helped them up.
"You don't need to be so polite, but in order to not reveal your identity, you can just call me Sir like Minister Lu and the others.”
"Get up."
"Yes, sir."
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng stood up, their faces filled with excitement.
Never in their dreams would they have thought that they would be able to become the disciples of Yun Wang.
The ancestral graves were smoking.
Guo Sheng excitedly headed to the capital while Zhao Kai and the others continued on their way.
"Your Highness…No, sir, where are we going?" Lu Fang asked.”
"Go to Daming Mansion." Zhao Kai smiled.”
There were a few important matters that he had to attend to when he came out to inspect the world. One of them was the son-in-law of Cai Jing from the Daming Manor, Secretary Liang.
If he grabbed Secretary Liang, he would be able to rip off a piece of meat from Cai Jing.
Moreover, Daming Manor was Lu Junyi's hometown.
It was more convenient to operate.
"To the Daming Mansion."
Lu Fang heaved a sigh of relief." That's good. I thought you were going to Qingzhou Prefecture."”
"What's wrong with the Qingzhou Prefecture?"
Zhao Kai had some guesses in his heart.
Lu Fang replied," Clear Wind Mountain, Twin Dragon Mountain, Peach Blossom Mountain, and the Three Mountains are currently attacking the Qingzhou Prefecture. Brother Song Gongming wrote a letter inviting me to go, but I didn't go.”
"The Three Mountains Alliance is attacking the Qingzhou Prefecture?"
"Then we'll change our route and go to Qingzhou Prefecture." Zhao Kai sneered.”
