"You mean, this thing called 'gunpowder' actually existed long ago?" Li Mingzhu looked at him and asked with a frown.
Li Yi nodded, and said, "Fireworks and firecrackers, those acrobatics that breathe fire and swallow smoke in the hook bar, are actually the same as it."
The formula of gunpowder had actually been figured out by a crazy Taoist priest who wanted to take drugs to go to heaven, but the ratio was wrong, and the effect of black gunpowder could not be achieved at all.
And its application is actually very extensive. Li Yi has also seen those jugglers swallowing clouds in the Goulan, using gunpowder.
"Then why didn't they..." Li Mingzhu only spoke halfway, but the meaning was obvious.
If the fireworks and performances of the actors could make up the noise last night, those people should have died long ago, let alone being discovered until now.
Li Yi explained: "This is about the proportions of the ingredients in the formula. Even if there is a very slight difference, the effect will be very different."
"How did you discover the secret?" Li Mingzhu looked at her and asked doubtfully.
In fact, she has been brewing this question in her heart for a long time. Whether it is the problem of falling stones, or the horseshoe, or the method of seeing people's hearts, or the current gunpowder, for thousands of years, no one in the whole world has discovered this problem. One of the mysteries.
Why was it him—why was it always him
Is he really smarter than all the people in the world combined
How else could Li Yixin find out, relying on the accumulation of knowledge accumulated by predecessors for hundreds of thousands of years, and cheating in the library in his mind...
"At the beginning, I was just making firecrackers for fun. I was doing it, and I discovered it by accident..." Li Yi looked at her and said.
Li Mingzhu glanced at him, thinking that he must have accumulated a lot of virtue in his previous life because he can still sit here and talk to her properly.
Then she thought of another question, and asked again: "In this way, others can also discover the mystery of this?"
Li Yi rubbed the center of his brows, if she can control herself, can she control others
"From the perspective of probability, this is indeed the case." Li Yi looked at him and said, "It may be a few days, months, years, or even decades, but maybe a second person will find out tomorrow. "
"Probability..." The expression on Li Mingzhu's face became confused again, "What is probability?"
"This is not important." Li Yi waved his hand, looked at her, and said seriously: "The important thing is, what are you going to do after I hand over the formula to you?"
"Now on the frontier, soldiers from Jing State are fighting Qi State. If gunpowder is as powerful as you said, it must be a great achievement. If you can make meritorious service on the battlefield, it is impossible for your father not to reward you, and you will be promoted to a noble It's all very possible." Li Mingzhu thought for a while, looked at him and said slowly.
If such an important weapon of the country is discovered by an ordinary person, what awaits him will not be a reward, but a disaster.
In order to prevent the secret recipe from leaking out, he is very likely to be secretly executed. The best ending is probably to be imprisoned for life, because the secret recipe is of great importance, and if it is leaked to other countries, the consequences will be disastrous.
But Li Yi was different, the better he performed, the more important he was in Father Huang's heart.
He was originally a talent that his father admired very much. The reason why he has not been transferred to the capital and only made him a small county lieutenant is that he wants to polish it here for two years. Temperament is really lazy, such a personality is not suitable for development above the court.
In fact, at the very beginning, even she herself didn't know why her father valued so much someone she had only met once, because his previous actions were not enough.
But what happened afterwards made her have to admit that her father is her father after all, and her vision of seeing people is far from what she can compare.
The young man sitting opposite her is an existence that can continuously create miracles.
After that sentence was finished, she looked at Li Yi, but found that he was not in a very high mood.
"What a scholar pursues all his life is nothing more than being promoted to an official position, but you don't seem to be interested in these." She finally asked a question that had puzzled her for a long time.
Li Yi looked at her and asked back: "If everyone's ideals are the same, as Her Royal Highness, shouldn't you be in the deep palace at this moment?"
Li Mingzhu was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.
After a while, she looked up at Li Yi again, and said, "You know, this kind of life can't last forever."
Li Yi nodded noncommittally. After experiencing this incident, he also realized how naive his previous thoughts were. Living in such an era, it is not so easy to live a carefree life. The emperor who cares about whether everyone is living a happy life is probably not related to the word happy.
"It's impossible for the government to keep an eye on those people in the green forest. Although they don't pose any threat to your wife, the others are troublesome after all." Li Mingzhu looked at him and said, "I will find a place in the city. Let them settle down first."
Regarding Liu Ruyi, she still had some thoughts of comparing each other in her heart before, but at this moment, she really has no thoughts at all.
"As for the gunpowder, we'll discuss it in detail after you return to Fucheng." Li Mingzhu didn't ask Li Yi any more questions about the gunpowder formula, and got up and clapped his hands to say goodbye.
"Does the thing that can emit fire and loud noise yesterday have a name?" When she walked to the door, she turned back and asked again.
"Maybe it can be called a grenade?" Li Yi thought for a while and said.
"..."
"Then call it 'God's Punishment'." After a pause, Li Mingzhu nodded and turned to leave.
Li Yi sat in the yard for a while, with a thoughtful look on his face, and after a while, he also got up and left.
It was indeed beyond his expectation that Her Royal Highness did not directly take away the gunpowder formula, but he also knew that she was conveying an attitude to him, a kind attitude.
Li Yi sighed, he had to admit that Her Royal Highness is very courageous.
However, if this kind of hot thing is not necessary, you can't touch it again in the future...
When he returned to his yard again, Xiaohuan was drying half-washed underpants before Li Yi left, with two red and swollen eyes.
When he saw Li Yi, his mouth shrunk, and tears immediately filled his eyes.
Last night, she stayed in the county office alone, worrying all night, and was brought up by the arresting sister until morning.
"Uncle..."
The next moment, she threw herself into Li Yi's arms like a sucking swallow, tears streaming down her face.
