While Da Kang and others were directing the farmers to harvest the crops, Luo Ming was not idle.

He devoted a few hours a day to teaching his disciples, and the rest of the time he did not indulge in enjoyment, but stayed in a newly built house, away from others.

Lauder and Grant took turns guarding the house, not letting anyone get close.

Grant is naturally someone that Login can trust almost unconditionally, and Lauder...... This sword idiot is not very interested in empty-handed martial arts other than swordsmanship, let alone things that have nothing to do with martial arts, and he promises not to peek at a glance.

While others were curious, no one wanted to risk angering the lord.

Such a hero who has twice repelled the cultists must not have anything to do with evil, so what he does there is his own freedom- the followers thought, and did not bother Luo Ming for the time being.

However, if he continues like this, Da Kang plans to advise him and let him pay more attention to the affairs of the territory.

Obviously he is a swordsman, not a mage, but he is doing research in a small room, which in his eyes is a plaything.

Moreover, during this period of time, it was the autumn harvest and there were many affairs, Luo Ming almost became the shopkeeper, and the burden was all on Dakang himself.

He didn't care about this exhaustion, but he didn't think that the lord should develop the bad habit of laziness in government affairs at a young age - he didn't come to follow a lazy pig lord who was sitting on a mountain of empty food, but he wanted to assist a wise and industrious lord.

However, just before Dakang made up his mind to admonish, Luo Ming smiled and came up with a result.

It was soap — although he didn't listen to it well in his college chemistry class, he vaguely remembered that soap was made by mixing alkaline solutions with grease.

The physical rules of this world are relatively close to those of Earth - except for magic and vindictiveness.

However, the chemistry of this world is not exactly the same as that of the earth.

Luo Ming pondered for three days and tried more than a dozen recipes, and finally made the prototype of soap. The next step is to do it better.

As long as it is managed well, it is a fist commodity that earns foreign exchange through exports, and some people may notice it and try to copy it, but at least it will be a year or two later.

What's more, Luo Ming also plans to spend a little more effort to make two pieces of soap for Princess Victoria - the future Grand Duchess will not only greatly increase sales, but also form a little deterrent to copycats.

For the sake of this thing that seems to be really profitable, Dakang didn't say anything.

However, on the day when the wheat was fully harvested, Dakang reported to Luo Ming keenly aware of the burnt marks on his clothes.

"My lord, what did you play again?"

Luo Ming didn't seem to feel the dissatisfaction in his tone at all, and said to him with a smile: "This time it's not just things that can be sold for money, after all, I'm not too short of money now."

I've got a baby this time...... Keep it secret for the time being, and when the formula is adjusted, I'll take a few of you to take a look, just don't be scared when the time comes!"

"So, how important is it?" asked Da Kang patiently.

"Hmph, a very cheap magic potion, just to remind you, it's combat magic...... How important do you think it is?"

Luo Ming still sold a pass, but the information he revealed made Dakang stunned.

Cheap magic ...... This is a utopian dream that many people have spent many years and years cannot realize.

But Farmore, who had studied agricultural magic for more than twenty years, admitted that Login was better than him in this area, and could easily point him in the right direction.

So it seems that it is not impossible for Luo Ming to have the ability to do such a thing?

Dakang was skeptical, but he still asked Luo Ming to take at least an hour out every day to deal with government affairs, even if there was no government affairs to deal with that day.

This is to develop a habit - even if he becomes a prince in the future, he will still habitually handle government affairs every day.

Luo Ming naturally agreed.

Da Kang thought about it carefully, and felt as if he had been deceived—you must know that Luo Ming's wisdom is not bad, and it is not difficult for him to deceive people.

Actually, about this matter, Luo Ming really didn't bluff Dakang. Or rather, he's just playing with words.

Whether the black powder thing is an alchemical item or a magic potion is a matter of wisdom for the benevolent and the wise.

But when it comes to cheapness, he really doesn't lie to anyone.

The black powder on earth is made by mixing saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal in a certain proportion, and Luo Ming saw his two masters and fathers make firecrackers by hand, so he knows a little, and even understands the principle.

Although the chemistry of this world is different from that of the earth, there are similarities.

He spent half a day searching in Brandon's alchemy material shop, and specifically asked Archmage Gandhi to take the time to help him find cheap minerals with similar properties......

So, when he was grinding gunpowder today, the gunpowder spontaneously ignited for the first time!

This is the proof of imminent success, ordinary people may be afraid of being injured by gunpowder, but Luo Ming has a vindictive shield, and Cangyan heals, how can he be afraid of this?

With the help of a fearless spirit of death, he soon made gunpowder that had a little practical effect.

To be honest, this technical content is really not high, an old farmer in the countryside on the earth can handle it, maybe those nitroglycerin and other things are more troublesome, but a small black powder is really not a problem for Luo Ming.

Now that this has been preliminarily completed, Luo Ming handed over the rest to Grant for the time being.

It doesn't need to be complicated, just finely adjust the ratio of several raw materials according to Luoming's formula, and then ignite it to see the combustion situation and record it.

As a swordsman, Granty can also open the Dou Qi shield, just like a layer of chemical protection suit, and is not afraid of ordinary experimental accidents at all - anyway, each experiment is only a few spoonfuls of medicine, even if ordinary people can't blow it up.

Luo Ming himself, on the other hand, was dealing with all kinds of government affairs, and at the same time devoted most of his energy to an important job: military training.

The conscription itself doesn't need to be dealt with by Luo Ming, Dungar and the steward can handle it.

What appeared in front of Luo Ming were thirty recruits.

Ten of them are eliminated places, but even if they are eliminated, at least they can be used as militiamen, which is not a complete waste.

As for the remaining twenty people, they will be trained into relatively elite soldiers.

No matter how elite a soldier is, he is also a soldier, and there is always a limit, but Luo Ming believes that when they fight peasant soldiers, they can definitely move forward with one or three or twenty people in formation, and the sword master does not want to charge head-on when there is no need.
