"It smells so good!" Zhu Yuqing was closest to Zhu Yuning, and he couldn't help but show an intoxicated expression when he smelled the seductive fragrance of flowers.

Zhu Biao, Lu Fei and others next to them were also shocked, because it was winter now and the flowers were withering, so it was impossible for them to have any flowers in full bloom. But they obviously smelled a scent of flowers, and if they closed their eyes, they even felt like they were in a sea of ​​flowers.

"The curious spice is exactly the same as the fragrance of flowers!" Zhu Yuning was stunned for a moment and quickly exclaimed. She didn't know the perfume, but just thought it was a spice. Of course, this cannot be miscalculated. Perfume is indeed a kind of spice.

"Sister, this is called perfume. According to Li Bandu, he extracted it from flowers. He only needs to sprinkle a few drops on his body and it will smell all day long!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled and introduced, and he was also very satisfied with the shock of everyone around him, although the perfume was not made by him.

"It was extracted from flowers?" Zhu Yuning also smiled after hearing this, "It's rare that he actually knows so many strange things!"

"This bottle is mine!" At this time, Zhu Yuqing woke up from the shock, and immediately grabbed a bottle of perfume and stuffed it into her arms without hesitation. It was normal for sisters to grab each other's things. It was so normal that Zhu Yuning was lazy to stop her. If this girl didn't grab it, she would feel strange.

"Sister, there is another bottle, look..." Zhu Yunxiu also came forward and said with a smile. Li Jie brought three bottles in total. In addition to the one in Zhu Yuning's hand and the one that Zhu Yuqing snatched away, there was the last bottle left in the box. Zhu Yunxiu was also very envious. After all, men of this era also like to wear sachets, and it is normal for them to sprinkle some perfume.

"You go and ask him for it yourself!" Zhu Yunning glared at Zhu Yunxi. He often mingled with Li Jie, so it was not easy to want perfume?

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips when he heard this. His second sister clearly had perfume, so why didn’t she? The eldest sister was just partial!

Zhu Yuning picked up the last bottle of perfume in the box, turned his head to look at Concubine Lu, which made Concubine Lu's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat upright.

Then Zhu Yuning walked forward with a smile, then brought the perfume to Zhu Biao and said, "Father, my daughter borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, so I will give this bottle of perfume to my father. I hope my father will not dislike you!"

Concubine Lu was about to reach out and accept it with a smile, but she didn't expect that Zhu Yuning actually gave the perfume to Zhu Biao next to her. This made her smile froze on her face, and then she was angry, but she didn't dare to do it. She could only recite the Buddhist scriptures silently to suppress the anger in her heart.

Zhu Biao was also very interested in this perfume, so he immediately took it and smiled, "Since it is Yuning's filial piety, I'm not polite!"

However, when Zhu Biao was speaking, he glanced at Concubine Lu next to him, which made Zhu Yuning smile slightly. She knew that after leaving, her father would definitely transfer the perfume to Concubine Lu, but she was too lazy to care about it. In fact, if she was her father Zhu Biao, she would probably do this, because for her father, family harmony is the most important, even if it is just superficial harmony.

After the gift was given, Zhu Biao also ordered someone to deliver a banquet that had been prepared long ago. The family sat together and chatted while eating. Among them, Zhu Biao was in the middle, Concubine Lu took Zhu Yunwen and other children on the right, Zhu Yunning and his siblings, as well as the children born to other palace ladies on the left. Although they seemed happy on the surface, they only knew the real situation.

At the same time, Li Jie stood on the podium of the Academy of Fine Hearts and was explaining to the people who were listening to the lectures the difference between pig iron and cooked iron and steel. In fact, these three are all iron, but the carbon content is different. Although this principle is simple, it is not so easy for the ancients with weak foundations.

After Li Jie finished speaking, an official from the Ministry of Works stood up excitedly and asked, "Li Bandu, according to your explanation, steel is just iron with a carbon content between pig iron and dry iron. So, can we mix pig iron and dry iron in a certain proportion to get the steel that I want?"

"Yes, it is true in theory, but it is not easy in actual operation. First, we need to figure out the carbon content of pig iron and wax iron, and then calculate it according to the proportion. In addition, we need to consider the impurities contained in these materials, so it is not easy to implement this theory!" Li Jie nodded with a smile. Theory is one thing, and actual operation is another.

"I understand, thank you Li Bandu for helping me!" The official of the Ministry of Works said excitedly. He was the official in charge of smelting. The theory of steel seems simple, but it solved one of the most fundamental problems in smelting. As long as he goes back to organize people to test, he will definitely find a feasible solution!

Next, other people asked questions, and Li Jie also answered them one by one. He was still very satisfied with the current situation of the Academy of Truth-Quozhen. The academic atmosphere here is very strong. Although many subjects only favor theory, if these theories are used in the right place by some people with a heart, they will definitely have great value. After all, his ability alone is limited, and only if more people participate in it can promote the development of the entire society.

When the question was over, the people who were listening to the class also dispersed. Li Jie then walked off the podium and came to the corner to smile at Liu Ying, who was listening, and said, "Uncle, how do you feel? Have you been inspired?"

"Although I don't understand what you are talking about, I feel very good. Some things can be learned from!" Liu Ying stood up and said with a smile. The Tie Ce Army left a bunch of noble princes. In order to resettle these people, Li Jie suggested that Liu Ying build something similar to a military academy and cultivate these princes. Liu Ying was here to visit the Qiuzhen Academy today.

"In fact, no matter what the content is taught, the essence of the academy is to cultivate talents, so some things are also connected." Li Jie smiled again. He had written a plan for military training for Liu Ying before, and with Liu Ying's own supplements, the preliminary preparations are almost the same.

"By the way, what do you think the name of the college we are going to start is good?" Liu Ying asked again. Although there are not many preparations for the early stage, the name has not been raised yet.

"This is easy to deal with. When I was in the Song Dynasty, I opened a martial arts school, which was specifically used to train military generals. I think it would be better to use the name martial arts?" Li Jie suggested that the Song Dynasty had established martial arts twice, and even used the seven military techniques as textbooks to name the Seven Books of Martial Arts. Unfortunately, the martial arts school established twice were quickly abolished because there was no conditions for martial arts at that time.

"Okay, it's called martial arts!" Liu Ying didn't expect that there was a similar institution in the former Song Dynasty, so he nodded and agreed.

It was getting late, and Li Jie accompanied Liu Ying to walk around the backyard of Qiu Zhen Academy, and then he was about to send him away. However, Liu Ying asked again: "Have your mother and the others sent a letter recently?"

"Here, just a few days ago, I just received a letter from my mother telling me that everything is fine in their hometown. My father insisted on keeping mourning for three years, and he probably won't go back to the capital in a short time." Li Jie was a little helpless at the end.

"If you keep filial piety, just keep filial piety. Your father is so stubborn, it is useless for others to persuade him." Liu Ying sighed after hearing this. He admired his brother-in-law and felt helpless.

"My mother said the same thing, but I heard from my mother that the scenery in her hometown is good. Although it is not as convenient as the capital, it is very suitable for rest. So she also plans to live with her father for two more years, just to cultivate her character." Li Jie replied again. Compared to her father's stubbornness, his mother's personality is more open-minded, which is very similar to Liu Ying, and she deserves to be a brother and sister.

"That's true. If His Majesty hadn't called me back, maybe I might have cultivated myself in my hometown now. Unfortunately, there are so many things in the capital now, and I can't let it go at all. I don't know when I will go back to my hometown?" Liu Ying said with emotion at this time. He had been halfway through the way, but he didn't expect that he was called back by Lao Zhu.

"Uncle, you are deeply trusted by Your Majesty, so how easy it is to get out of it? And now that martial arts is about to be established, you also need to plan your strategy!" Li Jie smiled and flattered Liu Ying.

"Stop giving me a ecstasy soup. Your uncle, how much do I have? You kid knows better than anyone else. I have a principle, that is, how big the mouth is, how big the food you can eat, and you will never force yourself to eat. So you have to help me with this martial arts, otherwise if I can't handle it, I will just give up!" Liu Ying didn't take Li Jie's trick at all. He had a very clear understanding of his ability.

"Uncle, I'm not praising you. Apart from the Duke of Trust, the person I admire most is you. If all the ministers in the court are like you, how could there be so many problems?" Li Jie gave Liu Ying a thumbs up and said, "This is the truth. Apart from Tang He, the only one who can truly see himself and understand the court is Liu Ying in front of him."

When Liu Ying heard his nephew compare himself with Tang He, he also showed a useful expression, but then he asked again: "I heard that Your Majesty has issued an order to ask Duke Xinguo to come back from Ningbo. Why haven't you seen him back to the capital for so long?"

"Duke Xinguo returned to his hometown from Ningbo, and on the way he resigned to His Majesty, saying that he was old and weak, and asked to go home to take care of his old age. His Majesty also agreed." Li Jie replied again, and he had to say that Jiang was still old and was so spicy. Tang He went back to his hometown in Fengyang without even returning to the capital.

"Gao! It's really high! Your Majesty's title to him Duke Xin was simply telling the world that the person he trusted the most was Tang He. This old man was so amazing!" Liu Ying also exclaimed in admiration when he heard this. He, Tang He, Xu Da and others were from the same village. There were a bunch of dukes among these people, but only Tang He could really laugh to the end. This was not acceptable.
