If you want it to perish, you must first make it crazy.

was originally just a trickle of water prepared to save his life, but now it has really become a hole card to turn over.

"If Lone tells you that Lone has never been interested in this country, do you believe it?" Li Yuanji asked with interest.

Du Ruyan was stunned and shook his head violently.

If you kill yourself, you won't believe Li Yuanji's words, if you don't have any objections, why don't you take out the strongest gunpowder early in the morning? If there is no objection, why do you want to set up an academy of sciences in the secret of the Qi State? If there is no objection, the current Qi State should have ceased to exist a long time ago.

You have prepared the strongest equipment and built the strongest army, and you just put it in front of others and say that you have no objection, who believes this?

"But Lone is interested in her now!" Li Yuanji didn't explain, and continued to talk to himself.

I wanted to be an idle prince in a peaceful and prosperous world, watch a ball, tease a bird, and live this rich life freely.

But Li Yuanji's identity is very embarrassing, so embarrassing that even if he intends to hide, he will always come to the door in trouble, and he originally had a trace of illusion, but now, the illusion has been shattered.

Reality ruthlessly broke his dream, dragged himself out of it, and then poured a basin of cold water on it in the cold and biting winter.

Life is like that, since you can't resist, it's better to enjoy it to the fullest.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, a strange smile leaked from his face, and he continued to talk to himself: "Lone will let everyone in the world know what a qualified prince should look like." ”

……

The cold, piercing through the thick walls, slammed into the room, and dozens of craftsmen were busy working with their heads down.

There is no laziness, no slackness, and even a trace of carelessness.

In the cold winter, there is not a single open flame in the entire large workshop, not even some metal objects are allowed to be brought in, and everyone entering and leaving is subject to three procedures and a uniform costume.

The conditions are unimaginable.

"King, the work here is very difficult, the weather is so cold that even the water is frozen into ice, so the progress can only be delayed again and again." Yu Qian, the person in charge of the workshop, explained with a sad face.

I only came here once when the workshop first opened, and this is the second time Li Yuanji has been here.

During this time, the output of the workshop plummeted, and now the news that King Qi was going to prepare to go south was well known, and as the most important key to going south, there was a problem with the workshop he was responsible for.

A worker holds a wooden stick in his hand, puts it in a wooden barrel and stirs it constantly to prevent the water from freezing, and two people next to him are also stirring, and below is a fixed large wooden barrel, which is black and has a bucket of black paste-like things.

"It's so cold that the craftsmen don't dare to stop at all, and after stopping for a while, the whole bucket will freeze into lumps, and from start to finish, they can only keep stirring, and they can't even dry it." Yu Qian explained again.

"Then build a few heating rooms farther away, do a better job of isolation, and dry them!" Li Yuanji rebuked a little unhappily.

The caution of the remaining money is understandable, but such a progress is unacceptable to itself, and if it continues like this, there will be no need to prepare for the whole winter, and there will not be much gunpowder stored in the spring, so what else to prepare? It's better to go south directly now, and while Li Shimin hasn't reacted yet, he will go straight to Huanglong.

The problem of surplus money is similar to the problem before Ma Zhou, they all belong to the type of more than enough to keep and not enterprising, and they will only operate according to experience, and rarely think of some workarounds.

"I don't want to talk about the importance of gunpowder, before the beginning of spring, you must prepare at least more than 500,000 catties for Gu here." Li Yuanji has tough indicators and does not give people room for bargaining at all.

"No!" I didn't dare to bargain for the rest of the money, so I could only plan to try it according to what Li Yuanji said.

As for the rest of the money, Li Yuanjiken is already good to give himself a chance, the raw materials are piled up in the warehouse, and the output is there in the summer, even if the output in the winter will be affected, but it will not be as good as the summer for so long.

"Pay attention to safety, the temperature in the heating room can not be too high, the normal temperature can be, you must often send someone to check, make a record, once you find a problem, stop immediately, there is a safety problem, you are asked!" As if feeling a little excessive, Li Yuanji once again brought up the issue of security.

Putting it in the heating room is also part of drying, as long as it is well controlled and you don't see an open flame, it is not a big problem.

Next, I visited a complete set of gunpowder production process, the planning is done by myself, the process is also set by myself, and the surplus money is strictly in accordance with their own requirements, which is divided into several different workshops, each workshop is only responsible for one job.

And this gunpowder workshop is not known how many times higher than the one in Chang'an.

Chang'an just grinds the three raw materials into powder, and then mixes them together in proportion and stirs them well.

But here, in addition to the three raw materials, some aluminum powder is added to it, which allows the gunpowder to burn more fully and release more power.

In addition, after the four raw materials are ground into powder, they must be mixed with water, then dried, and then broken into granules after the water has dried, which is why Qi Jun's grenades are more powerful than Tang Jun's.

However, after adding aluminum powder, the gunpowder will become unstable, and Li Yuanji has been looking for a suitable stabilizer, but unfortunately, he has not been able to find it until now, so he can only be careful in storage and use.

……

In the vast desert, you can't see the scorching sun, you can't see the edge.

A team of dozens of people shivered in the cold wind.

"It's going to have to stop, it's going to die." The old Taoist priest was coerced all the way here to take care of Yu'er's condition, but he was always in a hurry every day, and even the patient could only ride on horseback.

Along the way, Yu'er's condition was good and bad, constantly changing, and the old Taoist priest's protests again and again were finally rejected and his body was incomplete.

In addition, they encountered two more chases along the way, until half a month ago, they lost all their concubines, and only took the queen Yang and Yu'er, Song Zhong Yuren and others, and finally got rid of the pursuers.

Although it was very inhumane, and it was not certain who had left the mark on the pursuers, at this time they could only kill a thousand by mistake to ensure the safety of the most important people.

"It's almost a day before I get to Toyosu, and I can't stop until I get to Toyosu!" Wu Wei shook his head and looked in front of him, his tall body hiding his tired face in the dark, revealing a determined expression.

"Ridiculous, you reckless men, even if you have to hurry, at least find a carriage, just let the patient ride on horseback, sooner or later you will be dragged to death." Looking at Yu'er, who was getting sicker and sicker, the old Taoist priest reprimanded a little impatiently.

seems to be mainly about saving people, Lao Dao doesn't care that he was coerced at the moment, the last thing he can see is that he can be saved, but he still watches the patient die in front of him little by little.

"If you dare to talk nonsense, Lao Tzu will cut you with a knife!" Wu Wei, who was a little impatient who was chased, threatened Lao Dao viciously.

The fierce and vicious appearance really made Lao Dao a little unbearable, so he could only silently turn his head and go back to take care of Yu'er, and could only secretly pray in his heart that Yu'er would not be fine, so that after arriving in Fengzhou, Lao Dao I have to give you a few colors to see......

The next day, the pace of the team slowed down a bit.

The long-distance journey, coupled with the wind and food and sleeping in the open, more and more people fell ill, and even the war horses were a little unbearable, and the speed of the team had to be reduced, but fortunately, no trace of the pursuers had been found so far, and they did not contact anyone during the whole process in order to keep it secret.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, the anxious Li Yuanji kept pacing back and forth, and under the cold wind, his heart was full of heat and expectation.

I put down everything in my hand, rushed here two days in advance, and then waited silently on the edge of the newly built pontoon bridge.

There is anticipation, there is excitement, there is also self-blame and dissatisfaction.

"King, do you want to send someone over to take a look?" Jieli shouted a little anxiously, it was already past the agreed time, and he was a little worried that something would go wrong with them on the way.

Li Yuanji glanced lightly and quipped, "You guys will only scare them away." ”

Because it was a one-way contact, the people sent by the Wuwei didn't have to return after the news arrived, so no one knew where they were now except themselves? Which line is it taken? I can only wait anxiously here.

"I'm not a big man-eating worm, is it that scary?" Jieli scratched his head a little unpleasantly.

"Here ......

I don't know who shouted, Li Yuanji hurriedly dismissed his plan to joke with Jieli, and looked straight at the other side.

Dozens of figures really appeared there, although they looked a little tired, but they still came.

The excited Li Yuanji immediately got on his horse sideways, stepped directly onto the pontoon bridge first, and rushed in the direction of the crowd on the opposite bank.

Now, I can finally put my mind at ease.

Finally saw Li Yuanji, and Yang shed two lines of tears at the moment of grievance, but because there were too many people around, he could only wipe his tears silently alone.

Yang's face was thin-skinned, but Li Yuanji didn't have any restraints, he stepped forward directly, and gently hugged Yang into his arms, and the two hugged each other tightly, separated by his son who was a few months old.

Happiness and self-blame made Li Yuanji's voice a little choked, and after being strong for so long, he finally couldn't help it now.

I wanted to speak, but I didn't know what to say.

"Lone will not let your mother and son suffer like this anymore......"
