"I !! it"

Lin Zifan almost jumped to his feet, if the salted fish system had a substance, he would definitely catch it out and beat it hard! Of course, the premise is that it can be beaten......

"So, why didn't anything happen to me with the empress?"

Lin Zifan: "......"

Well, all this is actually not difficult to imagine, according to the empress's temperament, it is very rare for her to forcibly hug her, and she is not beaten into a dog.

But why does Chunlan ...... Eh, it doesn't seem difficult to understand? These girls, tsk...... It's hard to put into words!

Not long after, the group set off, and Lin Zifan rose again, although it was very unsightly, but in comparison, it was more important to be a ball.

On the way back, the empress's expression darkened slightly, obviously, returning to the deep palace of Chang'an did not make her so happy. However, when she thought of the harvest of this trip, the empress wanted to return to Chang'an sooner......

Three days, in a blink of an eye, in the early morning of this day, in the palace hall, civil and military officials gathered.

"See Your Majesty'......"

Everyone saluted one after another, looking at the empress who had not seen her for about seven or eight days, but there was no special expression. After all, the empress was originally a person who fished a day and screened nets for ten days, and she hadn't seen her for seven or eight days, so it was really not a big deal.

"Do you have something to do?"

The empress's eyes swept over everyone and she spoke lightly.

Although she herself had several things to tell this time, the habit she had formed over the years still made her prefer to listen to others first, and then speak herself when she was finished.

Anyway, in the end, she has to make up her mind, so it's better to get all together and solve it.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!" Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry jumped out, and said with excitement on his face: "Your Majesty, Lord Lin is really a genius in the sky, according to Lord Lin's method, we have already made the first batch of gunpowder!"

"Although there was some accident in the process, fortunately, the result was generally good, there have been more than a dozen truckloads of gunpowder, and it is also the result of insufficient supply of materials!"

"According to Chen's estimates, if the materials can be delivered in time, we can produce dozens of truckloads of gunpowder a day, or even more, and the speed is gratifying!"

During this time, she was dealing with gunpowder.

And the first batch of sulfur transported back from the mountains of Hebei has been used, and a total of more than a dozen truckloads of gunpowder have been made!

A cart of gunpowder is about 1,000 catties, and a dozen carts are more than 10,000 catties, so much gunpowder, even the oldest black powder, should not be underestimated!

The only problem is that in this era, people use gunpowder, that is, seal it, and use it to ignite explosions...... It's an area attack.

But if the gunpowder thing is just ignited and exploded, the center of the explosion will naturally cause a lot of damage, but once it is far away, there is no threat.

Lin Zifan secretly wrote down this matter, and planned to 'jump out' to solve the matter after they finished speaking......

"That's a good thing...... empress chuckled, it was undoubtedly a great thing to be able to get more than 10,000 catties of gunpowder in a short period of time, and even more later!

"It's a pity that the mountains in Hebei are far away, and it's not easy to walk!"

Qin Shangshu said with emotion: "Now I know why Lord Lin advocates building roads!"

"If this road is easy to walk, the speed of our transportation of sulfur will be at least doubled, how can it take seven or eight days to make a dozen cars?

"But for the time being, it seems that building a road is not feasible, so the minister wants His Majesty to agree to the minister, mobilize the army currently restricted by the military department, and go to the mountains of Hebei to transport sulfur!"

"As long as the gunpowder storage is sufficient, whether we use it for war or something else, it will be of great use!"

In fact, if the materials are sufficient, gunpowder can be made as much as you want in a day, after all, there is no too high technical content.

But the most important thing about gunpowder is a matter of proportion, and if it is known by people with ulterior motives, the problem will be big.

Therefore, everyone is very vigilant about this matter, except for those absolutely credible cronies, not too many people have been involved, and it is precisely because of this that the speed has slowed down slightly.

"Hmm...... I've made a note of this, and I'll settle it later. The empress nodded: "But there is still something to do?"

"Your Majesty......" Prime Minister Cao Cheng jumped out: "The matter of snow salt ......"

The empress raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lin Zifan undetectably, but as a result, this thing looked at her nose and nose, as if she had nothing to do with him......

"I haven't mentioned this matter for now, I haven't thought of a solution yet. ”

Helpless, the empress can only use the Dafa of delay. Although Lin Zifan said that he could solve it, the empress didn't know how to solve it, so she could only delay it......

"Yes......" Prime Minister Cao Cheng smiled bitterly and retreated.

"But is there anything else?" the empress looked around at everyone.

"Your Majesty......" Seeing that no one was silent, Lin Zifan jumped out: "The production of fireworks and grenades can be put on the agenda, I hope Your Majesty will arrange some manpower for the minister, and the minister wants to make these two things as soon as possible!"

"Oh?" the empress's eyes lit up, compared to this, this is the real good news!

"Lord Lin is finally ready to do it?"

"Haha, as soon as Lord Lin makes a move, it must be an earth-shattering shock!"

"Yes, yes, although Lord Lin is a mere man, he is talented and learned, but it makes me feel ashamed!"

"Once the fireworks are made, our Datang treasury can also be relieved a little......

"But this grenade...... I can't imagine what it is. ”

"What does it matter, as long as Lord Lin says it's a good thing, it's a good thing, let's just wait and see!"

Most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have turned on the boasting mode, and the things that Lin Zifan has come up with in recent days are more pleasing than the other, even if some of them are still a little prejudiced against men as officials, they can't say anything to refute at this moment......

"Lord Lin, you just have to open your mouth if you want someone! Although there are not many people in our Ministry of Industry, we can still draw some people out!" Qin Shangshu patted his chest and snapped.

And the pair of 'steamed buns' on her chest made Lin Zifan a little dizzy.

"What kind of Ministry of Engineering? There are many people in our military department, Lord Lin, pick and choose at will!" Liu Shangshu of the military department also jumped out, not daring to lag behind at all.

This is a very good thing! Even if their people just participate, it is a great achievement, how can they not fight?

"Who do you want, how many people do you want, you pick it yourself......" The empress's red lips hooked slightly.
