Even more prostrate on the ground, not daring to move, the whole person was trembling like chaff.

There were tears rolling in Bai Chun's eyes from time to time, for so many years, this was the first time that the prince was so angry with himself, knowing that this was his fault, but for some reason, he always felt a grievance in his heart.

After being stunned for a long time, he finally turned around and chose to continue to follow the crowd and walked towards the last forbidden area, the 'Medicinal Diet Room'.

The inspection of the medicinal food room is extremely strict, even Li Hong needs to take down all the metal items on his body, not to mention others.

No one is allowed to bring anything in, including silk items, and even hair needs to be tied up before it can be passed.

Fortunately, today's Xia Zhi and the others are all like Bai Chun, wearing shirts and skirts made of pure cotton, and Li Hong and his party have made sufficient preparations before coming.

And for so many years, I have been wearing a white shirt and skirt made of pure cotton, and I don't wear a bun because of the existence of the 'medicinal kitchen', so dressing up like this will naturally make it much easier to get in and out.

Gunpowder is naturally the most important thing in the canteen, but black powder is only one of them, and yellow explosives is one of the top secret matters, but there has been no way to make great progress at present.

In the previous life, Li Hong knew that yellow explosives were the most stable of all explosives, and only this kind of explosives could become the most reliable one in this era of extreme lack of production safety.

Picric acid is another explosive, extremely unstable, Li Hong is now just letting a very small number of people in the natural cave of Taiyi City, slowly explore, I don't know whose idea, actually really synthesized nitric acid and sulfuric acid together to treat glycerin, so a yellow transparent liquid, that is, nitroglycerin, appeared.

Sun Simiao also knew the formula of gunpowder at this time, and in his "Sun Zhenren Danjing", the formula of gunpowder was recorded: "Sulfur, saltpeter, and soaphorn burned together with sulfur and fire." ”

Everyone who enters the 'medicinal kitchen' is tightly covered, and as the process of glass becomes more and more perfect, glasses to protect the eyes are naturally produced.

Each person has a pair of goggles, including thick masks, gloves, etc., in short, everyone can see each other's exposed eyes.

The 'medicinal kitchen' of more than 100 people occupies a considerable area, that is, most of those caves belong to the 'medicinal kitchen', and Lawless is one of the people in charge.

Turning around in the 'medicinal dining room' made Xia Zhi and the others feel like they had walked around from the ghost gate, and the prince, who had never taken the rules seriously, acted cautiously in the 'medicinal dining room', even if he touched those black, yellow, or other liquids, he was extremely cautious.

But this was also the first time they discovered the other side of the prince, and when they communicated with the craftsmen of the 'medicinal kitchen', they seemed to see a real man: serious and focused.

Looking at the clear eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little moved, as if my heart had been tightly tied to the prince.

Everyone came out sweating profusely, and there was no way, although the cave was cool and dry, but they couldn't stand up to a thick cotton costume and full armor.

After coming out, Li Hong didn't speak, and went straight to the carriage, just said lightly: "Go home." ”

As for Bai Chun, Li Hong didn't even have the interest to take a look, and at this moment, he was still holding back his breath in his heart.

Is this really the tradition of the Chinese nation? Why do some people unconsciously lower their standards? Bai Chun is not unclear about all the gains and losses, but why does she dare to hide herself and sell the defective glass to the merchants!

Speculation and shoddy, everyone knows that it can make a temporary profit, but Bai Chun doesn't know the disadvantages of doing so?

Bai Chun looked lonely, and the last one got into the carriage, and the one person and one horse followed behind the carriage, and no one knew how the prince would punish them next.

Since Xia Zhi and the others got into the car, they have also become cautious, not as relaxed as when they came, they rarely see the prince angry once a year, and they can't even remember the last time the prince was angry.

Cheetah and the others were better, no matter what, the four of them were outside the carriage, and they naturally felt less about the oppressive atmosphere in the carriage.

Li Hong leaned against the window of the carriage and didn't speak, just quietly looked at the scenery outside and thought about his own thoughts. For the few people in the car, he naturally knows that if he is in a bad mood, they will not be in a good mood either.

But this matter must be remembered by Bai Chun for a long time, otherwise I don't know what will happen in the future.

"Master, Bai Chun is guilty, please punish him." Bai Chun said with fear and grievance in his tone.

"Do you know you're wrong? In the past few years, I have been relieved to hand over Taiyi City to you, but what have you done? Don't you know that at this time, the credibility of our Taiyi City is more valuable than those copper coins? Now your family is dominant, and you have a monopoly on the market, but when this chamber of commerce is over, and the merchants of the north and the south are able to make this glass, what do you use to compete with them? ”

Bai Chun's words completely ignited the powder keg, Li Hong looked at Bai Chun kneeling in the carriage, and continued to say coldly: "When the merchants no longer trust you, even if you lower the price, you can't save your lost reputation!" No matter when, you must always remember that quality is the foundation of your only foothold, you lose this creed, sooner or later you will lose all the merchants in Taiyi City today! At that time, what will you do to save the credibility of Taiyi City? Say! ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, Li Hong said Finally, looking at Bai Chun, who was kneeling there and bowing his head silently, he couldn't help but pat the desk in the carriage in anger, and with a snap, the tea sets on the desk vibrate.

The five people in the carriage trembled involuntarily, and the tea on the desk was overturned and flowed wantonly, but no one dared to clean up those, just knelt in the carriage tremblingly, silently motionless.

The carriage slowly drove into the manor, and the weather above his head seemed to match Li Hong's mood, and the cloudy sky began to slowly drop raindrops the size of beans.

"Reflect on yourself, and work hard, I gave you full authority, don't they know how to stop you? How much of that glass was sold? Recover them all! Whether it is the countries of the Western Regions or the merchants of Datang, all the prices will be compensated twice the price, and all the glass will be replaced for free! After finishing speaking, Li Hong walked into the hall without looking back.

Hearing Li Hong's faint voice, Bai Chun almost fainted! She knows better than anyone how many of these defective products are and how much they are sold, and if she recovers them all and pays twice the price and replaces the glass for free, it will be a frightening expense!

"Master ......." Bai Chun shouted sadly.

"Disobedient behead." Li Hong's faint tone was full of ruthlessness and coldness.

The raindrops became bigger and bigger as time passed, and Bai Chun and the three of them watched the carriage slowly drive away from the door of the main building, Xia Zhi and the others secretly patted her on the shoulder to show comfort, and hurriedly followed Li Hong into the hall.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window on the fourth floor, Li Hong sat on a recliner, and Xia Solstice waited carefully and gently beside him, and the rain outside seemed to be Li Hong's mood at this time.

"Master, why don't you call them in." Summer Solstice peeked out the window.

In the pouring rain, Bai Chun's straight and emaciated figure knelt in the rain, and behind him, one left and one right, was lying on the ground with hard work.

"Tell her what to do, kneel if you want to, you should kneel if you want to, if you do something wrong, you should be conscious and responsible!" Li Hong was obviously still angry in his heart, and said coldly.

"Master, Bai Chun's body bones, I'm afraid that if it continues like this, if you get sick, your Chamber of Commerce won't be able to open, don't you still count on her?"

"Counting on her? Expecting her to bring down Taiyi City to me sooner or later, such a reckless misconduct, you ask her, just because of the reluctance in her heart, how much did Taiyi City lose? Am I short of money? Is Datang bad money? In the past few years, I have seen that she is making money and making a black heart, such defective products are also sold, how much money is lost, Taiyi City is still something I can bear, but the reputation is gone, it is irretrievable! Don't you understand this principle on the summer solstice! ”

"Yes, the slave is guilty." Xia Zhi saw that Li Hong was still angry, and he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he hurriedly bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

Li Hong sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "Go, call her in, it's not easy for you to do this, you don't have an in-law when you're so old, shouldn't I marry her." ”

"You can't." Xia Zhi hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Why?" Li Hong got up from the recliner and looked at the vague Taiyi City in the fog for a while, and looked at Bai Chun who was kneeling downstairs for a while.

"Master, you know, Bai Chun only has you in her heart, she has been busy for so many years, she just doesn't want to live up to your expectations of her. What's more, she never thought about getting married at all, she just wanted to serve you for the rest of her life like a slave. ”

"Go on, go on, don't just say nice things." Li Hong looked at Bai Chun, who was already a little shaky, and said in a softened tone.

"Yes, master, the slave and maid will go." Xia Zhi couldn't hide the excitement in his tone and said.

Looking up, I saw Xia Solstice holding a brightly colored oil-paper umbrella, running quickly towards Bai Chun in the rain.

Although I couldn't hear what the two of them said, looking at Bai Chun's stubborn appearance, Li Hong knew through the window that she was reluctant to get up.

Li Hong knew that Bai Chun couldn't get over it now in his heart, probably because of her mistakes, which made Taiyi City lose a lot of money, so she knelt there so stubbornly and couldn't get up.

But how did she know that Li Hong didn't care about the money at all, what she cared about was the gold-lettered signboard of Taiyi City, and her pure personal reputation!

(ps: It's just these few chapters, and it's estimated that two more chapters will be about the same.) There will be a third update later, and someone will praise me for a book review if they see it! Then ps: About gunpowder, etc., everyone has read it, you don't have to be serious, the plot of the novel needs it, don't analyze it from a professional point of view, thank you. ）
