"It smells so good!" Zhu Yuqing was closest to Zhu Yuning, and he couldn't help but show an intoxicated expression when he smelled the alluring fragrance of flowers.

Zhu Biao, Concubine Lu and the others next to them were also shocked, because it was already winter, the flowers were withering, and it was impossible for any flowers to bloom, but they obviously smelled a fragrance of flowers, and if they closed their eyes, they even felt like they were in a sea of flowers.

"The spices of curiosity are exactly the same as the fragrance of flowers!" Zhu Yuning was stunned for a moment, and then quickly praised, she didn't know perfume, she just thought it was a spice, of course, this can't be wrong, perfume is indeed a kind of spice.

"Eldest sister, this is called perfume, according to Li Banyu, it is extracted by him from flowers, and you only need to sprinkle a few drops on your body to fragrance it all day long!" Zhu Yunxi stepped forward with a smile and introduced, he was also very satisfied with the shock of the people around him, although the perfume was not made by him.

"Extracted from flowers?" Zhu Yuning also pursed his lips and smiled after hearing this, "It's rare that he understands so many strange things!" ”

"This bottle is mine!" At this time, Zhu Yuqing woke up from the shock, and immediately unceremoniously grabbed a bottle of perfume and stuffed it into her arms and said, it is so normal for sisters to grab things from each other, so normal that Zhu Yuning is too lazy to stop her, if this girl does not rob, it will make her feel strange.

"Sister, there is still a bottle, you see ......" At this time, Zhu Yunxi also stepped forward and said with a smile, Li Jie sent a total of three bottles, in addition to the bottle in Zhu Yuning's hand, and the bottle snatched by Zhu Yuqing, there is still the last bottle left in the box, Zhu Yunxi is also very greedy, after all, men in this era also like to wear sachets, and it is normal to sprinkle some perfume.

"You go find him yourself!" Zhu Yuning glared at Zhu Yunxi, he often mixed with Li Jie, and it was not easy to want perfume?

Zhu Yunxi pursed her lips when she heard this, obviously the second sister has perfume, why don't she have it? The eldest sister is eccentric!

I saw Zhu Yuning pick up the last bottle of perfume in the box, and then turned her head to look at Concubine Lu, which made Concubine Lu's eyes light up, and she immediately sat up straight.

Immediately, I saw Zhu Yuning walking forward with a smile, and then sent the perfume to Zhu Biao and said: "Father, my daughter borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, so I will give this bottle of perfume to my father, I hope my father will not dislike it!" ”

Concubine Lu next to her was already ready to stretch out her hand and smile, but she didn't expect Zhu Yuning to give the perfume to Zhu Biao next to her, which made her smile freeze on her face all of a sudden, and then her anger surged, but she didn't dare to attack, so she could only silently recite Buddhist scriptures to suppress the anger in her heart.

Zhu Biao was also very interested in this perfume, and immediately took it and said with a smile: "Since it is Yuning, your filial piety, then I am welcome!" ”

However, Zhu Biao glanced at Concubine Lu next to her when she spoke, which made Zhu Yuning smile slightly, she knew that after leaving, her father would definitely transfer the perfume to Concubine Lu, but she was too lazy to care, in fact, if she was her father Zhu Biao, I am afraid she would do the same, because for her father, family harmony is the most important, even if it is only on the surface.

After the gift was delivered, Zhu Biao also ordered someone to send a banquet that had been prepared a long time ago, and the family sat together while eating and chatting, among which Zhu Biao was in the center, Concubine Lu took Zhu Yunwen and other children to the right, Zhu Yuning's sisters and brothers, and the children born to other palace people were on the left.

At the same time, Li Jie stood on the podium of the Qiuzhen Academy, explaining to the audience the difference between pig iron, wrought iron and steel, in fact, these three are iron, but the carbon content is different, although this truth is simple, but for the ancients with a weak foundation, it is not so easy to understand.

After Li Jie finished speaking, I saw an official from the Ministry of Industry standing up excitedly and asking: "Li Banyu, according to your explanation, steel is just iron with a carbon content between pig iron and wrought iron. ”

"Yes, this is true in theory, but it is not easy in practice, first we have to figure out the carbon content of pig iron and wrought iron, and then calculate it according to the proportion, and also take into account the impurities contained in these materials, so it is not easy to realize this theory!" Li Jie smiled and nodded, theory is one thing, and actual operation is another.

"I understand, thank you Li Banyu for helping me solve my doubts!" This official of the Ministry of Industry is still very excited, he himself is the official in charge of smelting, this steel theory seems simple, but it solves one of the most fundamental problems in smelting, as long as he goes back to organize people to experiment, he will definitely be able to find a feasible way!

Then there were other people who raised questions, Li Jie also answered them one by one, he was still very satisfied with the current situation of the Truth-seeking Academy, the academic atmosphere here is very strong, although many subjects are only biased towards theory, but if these theories are used in the right place by some well-intentioned people, they will definitely be able to play a huge value, after all, his ability is limited, only more people participate in it, in order to promote the development of the whole society.

When the questions were over, and the people listening to the lecture dispersed, Li Jie stepped down from the podium and came to the corner and smiled at Liu Ying, who was listening: "Uncle, how do you feel, have you been inspired?" ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about, but I feel good, and I have something to learn from!" I saw Liu Ying stand up and said with a smile, the Tieshu Army left a bunch of noble princes, in order to settle these people, Li Jie suggested that Liu Ying could build something similar to a military academy to cultivate these princes, Liu Ying came to visit the Seeking Truth Academy today.

"In fact, no matter what the content is taught, the essence of the academy is to cultivate talents, so some things are also the same." Li Jie smiled again, he had already written a military training plan for Liu Ying before, plus Liu Ying's own supplement, and now the preliminary preparations are almost the same.

"By the way, what do you think is the name of this academy we are going to open?" Liu Ying asked again, although there are not many preparations in the early stage, the name has not yet been named.

"This is easy to do, when I was in the Song Dynasty, I once opened a martial arts school, which was specially used to train military generals, I think it would be better to use the name martial arts?" Li Jie opened his mouth to suggest that the Song Dynasty had set up martial arts twice, and even used the seven art of war as teaching materials and named them the Seven Books of Martial Arts, but unfortunately the martial arts established on both occasions were quickly abolished, because there were no conditions for the existence of martial arts at that time.

"Okay, it's called martial arts!" Liu Ying didn't expect that there would be a similar organization in the former Song Dynasty, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

It was not early, Li Jie accompanied Liu Ying around the backyard of the Seeking Truth Academy, and then he was about to send him away, but at this time Liu Ying asked again: "Did your mother write from them recently?" ”

"Here, just a few days ago, I just received a letter from my mother, telling me that everything is fine with them in their hometown, and my father insists on keeping filial piety for three years, and it is estimated that he will not return to the capital in a short time." Li Jie was also a little helpless in the end.

"Keep filial piety, keep filial piety, your father is such a stubborn character, it's useless for others to persuade him." Liu Ying also sighed after hearing this, he admired his brother-in-law and was a little helpless.

"My mother said the same, but I heard my mother say that the scenery in my hometown is good, although it is not as convenient as the capital, but it is very suitable for recuperation, so she also plans to stay with her father for two more years, which is regarded as self-cultivation." Li Jie replied again, compared with his father's stubbornness, his mother's personality is more open-minded, which is very similar to Liu Ying, worthy of being a brother and sister.

"This is also true, if it weren't for His Majesty calling me back, maybe I would be cultivating myself in my hometown now, but unfortunately there are so many things in the capital now, I can't let go at all, I don't know when I can go back to my hometown?" Liu Ying was also full of emotion at this time, he was halfway through, but he didn't expect to be called back by Lao Zhu.

"Uncle, you are deeply trusted by Your Majesty, how can you get out so easily? And now that the martial arts is about to be established, you also need to strategize from it! Li Jie smiled and slapped Liu Ying's sycophant.

"Don't pour me ecstasy soup, your uncle and I have a few catties and a few taels, you kid knows better than anyone else, I have a principle, that is, how big a mouth to eat, how big a meal, if you can't eat, you must not be forced to stuff it, so you have to help me do this martial arts, otherwise if I can't do it, then I will pick it directly!" Liu Ying didn't eat Li Jie at all, he had an extremely clear understanding of his ability.

"Uncle, I'm not praising you, except for Xinguo Gong, the person I admire the most is you, if the ministers of the court and the central government are like you, why are there so many problems?" Li Jie gave Liu Ying a thumbs up and said, this is the truth, the people who can really see themselves clearly and understand the situation in the DPRK are only Liu Ying in front of him except Tang He.

Hearing that his nephew compared himself to Tang He, Liu Ying also showed a useful expression, but then he asked again: "I heard that Your Majesty has issued an order to let Duke Xinguo come back from Ningbo, why haven't I seen him return to the capital for so long?" ”

"Xin Guogong returned to his hometown directly from Ningbo, and on the way, he gave His Majesty a resignation, saying that he was old and frail, and asked to go home to care for the elderly, and His Majesty agreed." Li Jie replied again, I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, and Tang He went directly back to Fengyang's hometown without even returning to the capital.

"High! It's really high! His Majesty gave him the title of Duke of Xinguo, which is simply telling the world that the person he trusts the most is Tang He, this old man is simply amazing! Liu Ying was also greatly admired when he heard this, he and Tang He, Xu Da and others are all from the same village, and there are a bunch of princes among these people, but only Tang He can really laugh to the end, which is not convincing.
