In the past, when Shangguan Yi was still there, he was able to arrange one or two, but he was just a literati after all. ”

"Later, Shangguan Yi left, and we people had no guidance, so we have been producing according to the original plan, and now you are here."

Yan Liben stroked his beard and said, "The old man should do his best." ”

Master Jiang said again: "Then in two days, I will go to measure?" ”

"It's fine."

Yan Liben's integration into Lishan went very smoothly, and he was already an acquaintance of Lishan, and there were also subordinates of the former Ministry of Industry in Lishan.

It's just that after this master Yan came to Lishan, the main team of the Ministry of Engineering also came to Lishan.

Li Tai still takes good care of his father-in-law, and he has enough needs.

Lishan gave Yan Liben the task of work, first of all, he also led the master of the Lishan Technical Institute and taught craftsmen and students.

The people who learn the craft in Lishan are all children over the age of 15, and the rules here are very strange, no one under the age of 15 is accepted, and no one is over the age of 30.

A few children were gathering together and whispering.

"How big is the official of the Ministry of Works?"

"The six books saved in the Chinese book will definitely be beneficial."

Another child hurriedly ran over and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei and Yan Shangshu said that there will be more such people to teach in the future. ”

These children are the children of ordinary villagers, and they always feel that such an amazing person should not be able to listen to such a wonderful person.

The matter of the Gauls was relayed to Shangguan Yi by Xu Jingzong, and Shangguan Yi sent a letter to Lishan.

The weather has been much warmer lately, and the futon and clothes are drying at home.

When you walk out of the house, you can see bedding and clothes hanging in front of you, surrounding the entire Huaqing Pond.

Be careful and ran quickly, "Daddy, Xiong San has been suspicious a lot recently." ”

Zhang Yang sat down and drank tea and replied, "It's pregnant, it's like this." ”

"Mother was the same when she was pregnant with me?"

Listening to the child's unscrupulous words, Zhang Yang held his temple with one hand and said distressedly: "I want to ask your mother, and I don't know." ”

Seeing that his son was still standing in place, Zhang Yang planned to continue to read Shangguanyi's letter, and said, "Do you have anything else?" ”

Careful Ann whispered, "Sister took the key to the laboratory in the study. ”

"Hmm."

"Then my sister took some gunpowder."

"What?"

Zhang Yang stood up and looked around to find his daughter, and asked, "Where is your sister?" ”

Ann pointed in a direction, "Go that way." ”

Just as he was about to catch up, Zhang Yang glanced back at him and continued: "If there is anything in the future, the important thing must be said first." ”

"The child understands."

Zhang Yanggang took a step forward, turned around and admonished, "Remember!" ”

"Uh-huh."

Be careful not to nod your head.

Following the direction pointed by his son, Zhang Yang walked all the way down the mountain, usually let her play artillery battles, the last time she let her play with artillery twice, this time she actually took gunpowder directly.

The child is really getting more and more disagreeable, Zhang Yang walked down the mountain road quickly, and heard a few explosions.

glanced at it, saw the direction of the gunsmoke, and walked away quickly.

Xiong Da squatted aside, Zhang Yang saw the model of Chang'an City, and then saw what his daughter seemed to be recording.

"Huh? Daddy? What are you doing here! ”

She even looked surprised.

Zhang Yang lifted her back collar and looked at her little face blackened by gunpowder, this girl actually smiled.

"You're really getting bolder now, and you dare to take gunpowder." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yang glanced at the model that was blown to pieces, slowly put her down, and said in a low voice: "The model you built in two months was destroyed like this?" ”

Xiao Qingqing nodded and said, "Just build it again." ”

Distress is distress, this model daughter can make it, and it takes a lot of effort.

Zhang Yang picked up the dumb bamboo and poured out some black medicinal powder, "This is what you made yourself?" ”

Xiao Qingqing looked down at his toes, "Hmm." ”

The formula of gunpowder has always been in Lishan, and no one else knows about it except himself, and he usually puts gunpowder in a primer device, hoards it and puts it in the village storehouse, and uses it as he goes.

"How did you know the secret recipe?"

Xiao Qingqing said in a low voice: "I read a booklet from my mother, which was recorded by my father when he made fireworks." ”

"Oops." Zhang Yang held his forehead and looked a little painful, "One hundred secrets." ”

In the past, my daughter-in-law developed the habit of writing days, and she watched from the sidelines when she made fireworks, and she had even seen the proportions.

And it was all written in her diary.

Thinking of all the things in the past, Zhang Yang pulled her to sit down, and he was not angry in his heart, and said, "Where is your mother's diary?" ”

Xiao Qingqing blinked and said, "Daddy wants to see it?" ”

I asked casually.

"My mother said it, my father can't watch it."

Zhang Yang snorted and said, "You created this kind of small artillery battle with those alone? ”

"Uh-huh."

"Do you know that this is the most important foundation of our Lishan." Zhang Yang sighed: "Do you know what will happen to the emperor when he gets the gunpowder? ”

Xiao Qingqing said in a low voice: "Grandpa Shi once said that people can control themselves because there are morals and rules, if the emperor gets gunpowder, there will be no rules, once people lose control, they will do some crazy things, this madness will change with status and identity, this is like going crazy, if the emperor loses control, the consequences will be even more terrible." ”

Zhang Yang shook the fan in his hand, "Including your mother, you are the third person to know this secret recipe." ”

"Really?"

"That's natural, even your Aunt Xiaohui and Aunt Xiaowu don't know."

For the sake of safety, Zhang Yang said again: "You have to remember that this secret recipe must not be easily said in the future, including the people closest to you." ”

Xiao Qingqing's eyes were full of seriousness.

This child is sensible, and she has memorized the words of her grandfather and grandfather that she used to remember.

Xiao Qingqing said again: "Lishan made firearms for the emperor, but in fact, Lishan controlled the emperor, and Lishan could also develop his own family business?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "The emperor is ambitious, the emperor's ambition is also dissatisfied, today he can take the Western Regions, tomorrow he can also take the lives of everyone in the Western Regions, the trust between people's hearts is very fragile, you must always be on guard, even if the emperor is sincere to you, don't forget his identity, he can decide your life and death." ”

"My daughter must keep in mind."

Zhang Yang patted some weeds on her back, stood up and said, "Go home." ”

The daughter led Xiong Da all the way up the mountain, and she asked again, "Are all emperors bad people?" ”

Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "Sometimes it's a bad person, sometimes it's a good person, sometimes it's a fake good person." ”

"Well, it's complicated."

"Yes, people are complex."

Back on the mountain, Zhang Yang continued to look at Shangguanyi's letters, which were written about the things he had encountered in the court, such as who he had befriended, who he had met, or that his advice had not been adopted.

He said that the development of Lishan was able to go so smoothly because Lishan was very small and Lishan did not have so many constraints, but there were many constraints in the DPRK and China, and there were several court discussions from top to bottom on government decrees.

His Majesty streamlined the three provinces and six ministries of the DPRK and China, and the efficiency of issuing government decrees was still not high enough.

Reading this, Zhang Yang felt that Lishan's decree was much simpler, and one thing could be settled in three or two sentences.

The letter also said that in fact, he originally wanted to write a letter to Lishan, after all, he had been in Lishan for so many years, and he was concerned about what Lishan looks like now, how it develops, how the fields are cultivated, and whether the workshop scheduling can be smooth?

Xu Jingzong came to him because of the affairs of the Gauls.

The Gauls wanted to unite with the Tang Dynasty to exterminate the Great Cannibals.

There are many words in the letter, and more than ten pages are written.

Zhang Yang wrote him a reply and told him that instead of befriending the Gauls, it was better to drive away the Great Cannibals, so that there would be another conflict between the Great Eclipse and the Gallic countries, and the Tang Dynasty could reap the benefits of the fishermen.

The Gauls said that harmony was not desirable, because of the internal chaos in Gaul, decay was inevitable sooner or later.

The royal family in the West wants to make peace with the Tang Dynasty in order to consolidate their position, but even so, the Tang Dynasty is tens of thousands of miles away from it, and it is beyond the reach of the whip, and it is not necessary to be close to the family.

wrote some feelings about what happened to him in the court and gave him some guidance.

I wrote about the current situation of Lishan.

Replying to the letter and asking his aunt to arrange for someone to send it to Shangguan Yi, Zhang Yang put the key to the laboratory at the top of the bookshelf and placed it on the partition behind the shelf.

In this way, even if the daughter stepped on the stool, she could not reach it.

After doing this, Zhang Yang walked out of the study and saw his daughter-in-law sorting out some old clothes and sitting on the side.

Li Yue frowned and said, "The children can't wear these old clothes, so they are just for the children in the village." ”

Zhang Yang drank the tea leisurely and said in a low voice: "My daughter knows the ratio of gunpowder." ”

Hearing this, Li Yue's movements on his hands stopped, and he held his back with one hand and his pregnant belly with the other, and said curiously: "How did she know." ”

"Your diary."

"Well, last month she was going to sleep in the bedroom, so I let her speak, and said something considerate." She suddenly smiled and said, "My daughter said that she wanted to know about our previous affairs, so she showed her the diary, and she was unguarded. ”

"When I tackle the rifling technology of the flintlock pistol, I don't have to worry about the formula of gunpowder, and the types of weapons in the future will change drastically."

Not far away, Xiao Qingqing was counting his younger brother again, just because of his complaint.

Li Yue looked at the pair of children and smiled softly: "Actually, she misses her grandfather very much, because her grandfather's words are the most difficult to understand, and the most jerky truth makes her remember it the most." ”

She lowered her head and sorted out her old clothes, and said, "Sometimes I don't want my daughter to understand too early, and I'm worried that she won't grow up." ”

Thirteen-year-old Li Zhi was teaching his little son to kick the shuttlecock, and after being scolded by his sister, he laughed heartlessly and wanted to play together.

"The queen mother is still very worried about the crown prince, maybe his father put too much pressure on him in the past, and the imperial brother is becoming more and more strict with others."

Zhang Yang said: "Find an opportunity to let the prince come to Lishan, and I will have a good talk with this eldest brother." (End of chapter)
