In addition, Wang Dingbao also asked Li Yi some questions about helping the poor, popularizing education, and industrial development, although Li Yi answered all questions, but Li Yi could see that Wang Dingbao did not have a little bottom in his heart about whether these measures to benefit the people could be carried out smoothly in Ningyuan Road.

The two of them talked freely, and before they knew it, it was past noon, and Wang Dingbao was still unaware, but Li Yi couldn't bear it. This is okay, I didn't even drink saliva all morning, and I chattered and talked about it like this, and my lips were about to bubble.

It wasn't until my stomach rumbled that Wang Dingbao suddenly realized, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then walked out of the small pavilion hand in hand and went to the front hall to make a tooth sacrifice.

According to Wang Dingbao's arrangement, the group visited Fengzhou City and went to several military centers in Guangning Road to have a look. Although the military points in the world are almost the same, I was still impressed by Ning Yuandao's military strength, and I was also deeply impressed by Wang Ding's ability to govern the army.

Early the next morning, Li Yi refused Wang Dingbao's sincere retention, and under the pretext of being busy with Yunnan affairs, he waved goodbye to Wang Dingbao, He Ci and others, and embarked on the road back to Yunnan.

To tell the truth, the main purpose of Li Yi's trip to Ningyuan is, of course, to leave a deep impression on Wang Ding, to show him his talents, and let him understand how heavy his weight is.

You must know that a year later, he will be the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and with his kind words in front of Liu Yan, if he wants to enter the center of the court, it will be just around the corner.

Li Yi, who returned to Yunnan, began to face countless complicated affairs again.

The renovation of various roads in Yunnan has begun, although the standard is not high, but the progress of road improvement is not fast. Of course, there are many reasons, but the first is that there is no large-scale machinery now, and it is all up to the migrant workers who serve the forced labor to carry them on their shoulders and dig with a hoe, and the progress can be imagined.

In addition, most of the roads in Yunnan pass through the mountainous areas, and the construction is relatively difficult.

But what is gratifying is that Lin Qingliang used his previous experience in making firecracker gunpowder to start studying the production of black powder. Hearing the news, Li Yi immediately found Lin Qingliang and taught him the knowledge of black powder he knew.

Although the conditions are limited, Professor Li Yi's method was used to extract high concentrations of potassium nitrate by mining the soil of long-term decaying and deep burial of old animal and plant remains and old fertilizer, and through boiling water soaking, activated carbon filtration, cooking and evaporation.

Coupled with the appropriate proportion of sulfur and charcoal, the golden ratio of the explosives of 'one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal' is complete, and from the perspective of the use effect, the power is still very amazing.

With the use of explosives, the construction of mountain roads was much faster, but the production of explosives was too small to meet all the demands.

From this, Li Yi also thought that in the future, the training method of the secret camp should also add the skill of refining explosives and skillful use, which is still very useful for some aspects of action.

It's already mid-February, and the due date is just the last few days, Li Yi has put off unnecessary work and started to prepare for the arrival of the baby.

Just when Li Yi was exhausted in the inner house and was busy with production, the former deputy lieutenant Nanfang came to report, saying that the Great Yi Ningguo had sent an envoy, that it was Xun Zaluo who had come many times before, and he also brought a lot of gifts, but he didn't know what the purpose was. Now that I am on my way to Ningzhou, do you want to send someone to greet you?

After receiving the report, Li Yi started to think. It's not festive, and there aren't any important days lately. And because of the last time Li Yi was in danger in Xishan, there was already a mustard between the two countries, although they have not really torn their faces, but the relationship between them has long been cold.

Dayi Ningguo has been slow to punish Wuli Lao Dao, which has made Yunnan very annoyed, and this account has not been settled! He had a shy face this time, and what did he want to do when he came here! Did you hear that it was like a baby was about to be produced, and you came to congratulate you?

Impossible! How can there be such a grand run to congratulate a concubine on giving birth to a child, and there is always a reason to come to congratulate after the child is born. Cough! Whatever! Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, since it is a gift, then it is a warm welcome.

Li Yi immediately instructed Nanfang to report back to Master Lin, and asked him to arrange for Dongfang Jing, the secretary in charge, to go out of the city to greet him, and wait in the conference hall when he was done.

When Li Yi sat in the conference hall and waited for about a quarter of an hour, the envoy of the Great Yi Ning Kingdom had arrived. Li Yi just arranged for Lin Yi to go out to greet him this time.

It wasn't until Xun Zaluo entered the conference hall that Li Yi stood in front of the hall door and said loudly: "Lord Cishuang has come from afar, please forgive Li Yi for not being able to welcome him from afar." ”

Xun Zaluo laughed and said: "How dare Xun dare to greet the handsome man, they are all old acquaintances who often come and go, where do you need any kind words!" Ha ha! ”

Depend on! He doesn't treat himself like an outsider.

Li Yi smiled slightly, let Xun Zaluo sit down in the living room, and the tea was finished, so he asked unceremoniously: "Lord Cishuang has not set foot in Yunnan for a long time, but Li Yi is very worried, I don't know what to do here?" ”

When Xun Zaluo heard this, his eyes glowed, and his face couldn't help but show a red light, and he said happily: "The lower official is here, but there is a great happy event to report to the handsome, if we wait until the good thing is completed, our two families will no longer be separated from each other, isn't it a great happy event?" ”

As soon as Xun Zaluo said this, Li Yi couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Depend on! A great event? Could it be that the Great Righteous Ningguo has severely punished the old man of Wuli.

The discord between the two families stems from this old miscellaneous hair, and presumably Dayi Ningguo also knows it. Could it be that in order to win us over Yunnan, Yang Ganzhen and Yang Huaiying, father and son, actually attacked Wuli Lao Dao?

However, with the power of the Diancang faction of the old Wuli Zamao in the Great Yi Ning Kingdom, even if the Yang father and son want to get rid of him, I am afraid that they will have to think about it for a while, and they will not dare to directly attack him.

In addition, Li Yi really couldn't think of any other great happy events that could be related to our Yunnan.

Thinking of this, Li Yi smiled indifferently and said: "Lord Cishuang said that it was funny, our Yunnan has suffered natural disasters one after another**, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, but where is there any happy event?" ”

Xun Zaluo smiled and said: "This happy event is related to the handsome himself, I can't say that Xun will change his mind when he sees the handsome in the future, hehe!" ”
