Zhao Ying naturally knew why Chen He and Bai Rong blew up the stove, and he could easily prepare something that could make the stove explode. However, gunpowder was different from ordinary farm tools, and there were still some clues about the farm tools. Regardless of whether it is a flash of inspiration or a clever hand, there are always precedents that can be followed.
But this gunpowder is different. For Zhao Ying today, it almost comes out of thin air.
There is no life experience at all and no precedent to follow.
While the First Emperor was still alive, he had to have a valid reason, even if the First Emperor might not pursue the reason.
What's more, the current situation is not so bad that the Qin Dynasty is full of talented people and has the most powerful military in the world. Without gunpowder, the country will collapse and the ancestral temple will be in a dangerous situation.
There is really no need to push out a gunpowder in a hurry.
But don't refuse.
Therefore, after Zhao Ying heard the news that Chen He and Bai Rong secretly refined the elixir and almost blew himself up, he rushed over personally to see if he could take advantage of this opportunity to get the gunpowder out first.
Whether such a dangerous thing is against humans or not is unknown, but Zhao Ying knows that if it is used to open mountains and crack rocks, build bridges and pave roads, the efficiency will be far higher than it is now.
Seeing that Zhao Ying looked serious and didn't seem to be sarcastic, the oldest Chen He was still hesitating, while the youngest Bai Rong was already struggling to get in.
"Your Highness, as long as you can open up the supply of alchemy materials, I promise that within three months, I will find out for you the reason that can cause the alchemy furnace to explode..."
His breath was very weak, but his words were strong.
Sure enough, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers and is more aggressive.
Zhao Ying nodded.
"Shan, you will take the lead in this matter, with Chen He assisting -"
Chen He:......
Zhao Ying naturally didn't care about his little thoughts. After speaking, he turned back and looked around at Gong Xue and Lu Yi who were following him.
"From now on, the two of you will be responsible for the production of colored glaze here, and allocate Xikuoyuan for the two of you to specialize in alchemy..."
Gong Xue and Lu Yi bowed to accept the order.
They happily went to make arrangements. Chen He and Bai Rong went to make alchemy, which was almost equivalent to offloading the affairs of the Liuli Workshop. The two of them got a big deal for nothing.
Zhao Ying then turned his head and looked at Chen He and Bai Rong who were lying on the bed, looking a little miserable.
"You two, please stay here to recover. I will arrange for the palace physician to come and treat you personally. I will also arrange for someone to send you some records about alchemy by the Fang family warlocks for your reference..."
Exploding an alchemy furnace is not a particularly rare thing.
Although there are fewer, there will always be some records. Taking them over can provide some inspiration to the two of them.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will try my best to find something that can cause the alchemy furnace to explode as soon as possible..."
The two people lying on the bed were surprised and happy.
Unexpectedly, this explosion would lead to such an opportunity to get a glimpse of the experience of predecessors in alchemy. For the Fang family warlocks, refining elixirs is a relatively advanced knowledge that ordinary people have no access to. Even the Fang family warlocks themselves, most of them cherish it and do not want to show it to others.
Where can I see them on weekdays?
But what was extremely difficult for them could not be easier for Zhao Ying. The imperial collection of Qin Dynasty contained countless theories from all over the world. For him, the door was wide open, allowing him to take whatever he wanted.
Although the two of them showed full confidence, Zhao Ying did not have high expectations.
Easier said than done.
When these Fang family magicians refine elixirs, they have to put in ten or twenty kinds of miscellaneous materials at a time, and the amounts of materials used each time are also different. Even if they find the common characteristics of the explosion furnace, they can use the elimination method. It may not be easy to find out the recipe for explosives.
But there is finally a direction.
Zhao Ying nodded noncommittally.
"Here are the Fang family warlocks. You can choose twenty people who are proficient in this way to cooperate with you in your research..."
This is almost equivalent to asking them to study the great cause of alchemy in an open and honest manner.
The two people were almost dying and sat up in shock.
In a moment of excitement, the wound that had just been bandaged was torn open again...
…
After leaving the glaze workshop, Zhao Ying looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, so he bought two boxes of pastries from a snack shop on the roadside and went straight to Weiyang Jun's residence.
Weiyang Jun is the political and religious leader of his new school, and is now the highly respected Zongzheng Ying lineage of the Qin royal family.
After receiving the notice from the concierge, Zhao Ying was quickly invited in.
As soon as they entered the front yard, they saw Yingping, the eldest son of the Ying clan, coming out in a hurry.
"Ying Ping has met His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson. I'm late to greet him. I hope I'll forgive you..."
Zhao Ying rushed forward to return the gift.
"I'm here to visit you, but I don't dare bother you to greet me personally..."
Ying Ping was about the same age as the First Emperor. According to his seniority, Zhao Ying had to call others nice, as they were all members of his own family. Here, he really didn't dare to act like the eldest grandson of the emperor.
Ying Ping pays special attention to maintaining his body. Not only does he maintain a good figure, but there is not a trace of gray hair on his temples. He is obviously one year older than the First Emperor, but he looks like two generations ago, without any sign of aging.
It was a good thing for him that Ying Xi failed to compete with Yi Ren for the throne.
Otherwise, it is estimated that this clan leader would not have the leisurely and nourishing life he has now.
Seeing Zhao Ying's low posture, Ying Ping's smile became more sincere.
"Your Highness, please come inside. My father is waiting in the study..."
Zhao Ying handed the two boxes of snacks to the steward of the Ying family and followed them with a smile. Behind him, the steward of the Ying family looked at His Highness the Emperor's Grandson who was striding away, and then at the two pitiful boxes of snacks in his hands, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
His Highness the Emperor’s Grandson, what a great gesture!
Zhao Ying didn't know that he had been labeled a miser by the stewards of Ying's Mansion. He walked in and admired the layout of Ying's Mansion while following Ying Ping and walking inside.
Although Ying Xi is the current uncle of His Majesty and the Zongzheng of the Great Qin royal family, this mansion has the characteristics of the Great Qin, dignified and elegant, but without much trace of extravagance.
I saw along the way that most of the servants in the mansion were wearing ordinary clothes.
"My father-in-law is inside. Your Highness, please go straight ahead. I won't go in..."
Ying Ping retreated very wisely.
The emperor's eldest grandson came here specially to visit. Naturally, he had something to discuss with his grandson, so there was no need for him to be an eyesore.
The small courtyard where Ying Xi's study room is located is as simple as a farmyard. There are several vegetable gardens at the base of the wall, and there are obvious signs that they have been recently taken care of.
All the vegetables are arranged horizontally and vertically, as neatly as an army sergeant.
Very Qin.
"Young man Zhao Ying, I have met Mr. Weiyang——"
Ying Xi was wearing ordinary clothes, with his trousers rolled up, like an old farmer in the countryside, squatting with his head lowered, carefully looking at his two patches of cucumbers.
Hearing the movement, he raised his head, smiled and waved his hand.
"Why does Your Highness have time to see this useless old man like me——"
Zhao Ying glanced at the vegetable patch he took care of with great care and said half-jokingly.
"I happened to be passing by, and I remembered that I haven't seen you in the school for a few days, so I came here to see what you were busy with..."
Ying Xi waved his hand indifferently, as if he didn't hear the teasing in his words.
"What can I be busy with? I have nothing to do but raise flowers and plant grass..."
He feels so confident when touching fish.
What else can you say.
Zhao Ying wisely gave up the topic, leaned over and took a look at the two rows of cucumbers grown by the Ying family.
"You're not very good at cooking this kind of food——"
As Zhao Ying spoke, he randomly picked a straight and smooth cucumber, flicked it twice and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Click——"
Crisp and delicious.
Ying Xi finally stopped what he was doing and looked at the unceremonious grandson of the emperor with some annoyance.
"You are quite good at choosing. Of all the cucumbers in my garden, this one grows smoothly..."
Zhao Ying laughed.
"It's natural, and my vision is naturally good - but, you old man, it's really not good to grow these cucumbers. There are only so few cucumbers in such a big field. If you have time, you might as well do it. Go and take a look at my place, the shelves are full of cucumbers..."
After being told this twice by him, Ying Xi was a little unconvinced.
"I personally take care of these two fields of cucumbers every day, fertilizing, watering, weeding and setting up seedlings. I never stop. Tell me, why are my cucumbers not good..."
Zhao Ying clicked, took another bite of crisp cucumber, and then said slowly in the eyes of Ying Xi who wanted to kick him.
"It's too sparse. You, old man, are too diligent in serving me..."
Ying system:......
This kid must be teasing himself on purpose!
Ignoring Ying Xi's almost murderous gaze, Zhao Ying happily leaned over and pointed at the cucumber.
"You cucumbers should have a lot of blooms. Do you know why there are so many flowers but so few cucumbers?"
Seeing that Zhao Ying was serious about what he said, Ying Xi could not help but feel a little shaken.
"Why..."
Zhao Ying said with a smile.
"All things are born in an orderly manner, and their reproduction and reproduction must comply with the principles of heaven and earth. People are divided into men and women, and things are divided into yin and yang. Each performs its duties and is in its proper place. Only when yin and yang meet can children be born. These cucumbers are not Exception..."
Having said this, Zhao Ying pointed to the two patches of cucumbers in front of Ying Xi.
"You old man, how can you grow cucumbers if you plant them so far apart that they can't reach each other? It's like sleeping in a separate room with your wife if you want to have a baby. If you can give birth to a baby, that's a success. Big problem..."
Ying system:......
Zhao Ying glanced at him suspiciously and smiled.
"When I looked at you, you didn't look carefully at the teaching materials of our new school. These principles are all written in the university courses..."
As he spoke, Zhao Ying picked off a male flower and helped pollinate the cucumbers of the Ying family.
"See, if you touch it like this - these cucumbers are already grown - if you don't believe it, just wait and see..."
Seeing that this boy spoke with certainty, Ying Xi actually believed it in his heart, but he kept saying it to himself.
"Okay, then I will wait and see. If your method really works, I will not only gather all the school-age children in the clan for you to attend the school, but I will also go there myself and become your students..."
Zhao Ying laughed.
"Then we will make an agreement..."
Although the new-style schools are good, they are not suitable for everyone.
Children from high-ranking families are eager to send their children to other places. They don’t know what is important to learn. The important thing is to form a good relationship and establish a good background.
But the royal children really don’t value it that much.
Compared with the knowledge that seems strange and weird, they are more willing to believe in the learned people hired by their families, or even the knowledge passed down from their families.
Many people send a few ineffective children at home to help in the field, while the children they really value stay at home and teach them personally, or let their original teachers teach them carefully.
That's why the Ying family said this.
After briefly asking Zhao Ying for advice, Ying Xi quickly mastered the trick. Taking Zhao Ying with him, the two of them took matters into their own hands to match up these cucumbers and became pimps.
After finishing their work, a servant brought toiletries, and the two simply washed their hands in the yard.
Ying Xi waved his hand to all the servants in the yard to leave.
"Your Highness has a lot of things to do. Today he made a special detour to see me, an old man. Naturally, it's not to teach me how to grow cucumbers. Tell me, what is it that this old man like me can do..."
Seeing that Ying Xi was so straightforward, Zhao Ying didn't show any pretense.
Get straight to the point.
"I don't know if you, old man, have ever heard of anyone mentioning that I made a fortune recently..."
Ying system:......
I don't want to have heard of it, but you made such a big noise, I don't think it's possible that I haven't heard of it. He sighed helplessly.
"Of course I've heard people talk about it - why, did you finally cause trouble?"
Zhao Ying smiled and shook his head.
"No trouble at all, but I wanted to trouble you, old man..."
Ying system:......
"Sorry, I am old and can no longer be driven..."
He refused without even thinking about it.
Just kidding, I'm so old that I no longer want to hold Zongzheng's position, but you still want to cause trouble for me. You're simply not a son of a man.
Zhao Ying had long expected that he would react like this, and he didn't feel dissatisfied at all, but said cheerfully.
"I recently collected four to five million yuan - I want to use it to establish a Daqin Royal Charity Hall. This money will be used as the first start-up capital of the charity hall..."
"Da Qin Royal Charity Hall?"
Upon hearing the words "Da Qin Royal Charity Hall", Ying Xi's expression finally became serious, and his eyes became more scrutinized.
"You might as well talk about it in detail..."
"In the past, Xunzi once said that the king is a boat, and the common people are water. The water carries the boat, and the water overturns the boat..."
Having said this, Zhao Ying also restrained his tired look just now and said seriously.
"Xunzi's words are certainly controversial, but the head of the world is indeed the foundation of our great Qin, and the people's will and public opinion cannot be ignored. Now, although our great Qin encompasses all over the world, its national power is getting stronger, and your majesty is working hard to govern, our great Qin still has hunger and cold. The oppressed people still have families who cannot afford to study..."
"I want to use this money to set up a charity hall in the name of our Great Qin royal family to provide care for the widowed, orphaned and helpless people, and to support those who are interested in learning..."
