Chapter 30 Gunpowder, Steelmaking, and Gunmaking

In the sixth year of Daye, that is, 610 AD, five years have passed since the meeting between Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan in the study. Things were just as Li Jiancheng said. Those who were close to the former prince were either killed or transferred away. Now the remaining

They are all pro-Yang Guang and neutral factions like Li Yuan and the Dugu family. Of course, the neutral faction has also lived a rough life. Only the Yuwen family is pro-Yang Guang, so their family power is getting stronger and stronger.

As for the Song family, which is far away in Lingnan, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one can take care of it. Li Yuan, under the advice of Li Jiancheng, has always followed a low-key route. Now Li Jiancheng is 14 years old. According to the habits of this era, 15

He can get married at the age of 10, which means he can get married to Dugu Feng next year. Now, Dugu Feng is getting taller and more graceful as he grows older, but his attachment to him remains unchanged.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Li Jiancheng, who was sitting in the hall deep in thought, was suddenly interrupted by a sound. He looked up and saw that it was Li Yuanji. As recorded in the book, he was very close to Li Jiancheng. As Li Shimin grew older, the two

Although the relationship between people remained unchanged, he always felt that he was less close, and Li Xiuning was also clinging to Li Shimin all day long, and he was helpless about this. Only Li Yuanba, who is now 7 years old, rarely does anything except practice martial arts.

Other things are the same for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

"It's nothing. Think about how time flies. You are all so old. You used to follow me and run out to play with me, haha." Li Jiancheng said with a smile.

"It's still fun to follow the eldest brother. The second brother and Xiuning don't know why they read every day, and now they still look like scholars all day long, huh!" Li Yuanji said dissatisfiedly to Li Shimin and Li Xiuning.

"Brother." Li Xiuning, who was walking towards the hall, called to Li Jiancheng, then turned to Li Yuanji and said: "Third brother, you like to practice martial arts and play, while second brother and I like to read. We all have different pursuits, so you can

They have opinions about us all day long.”

"Humph!" Li Yuanji couldn't say anything to Li Xiuning every time, so he snorted and turned his head away.

"Okay, you two, stop arguing. I have something to do and I will go out for a while. I may not come back for dinner at noon. You tell your mother." Li Jiancheng interrupted the two of them.

"Brother, why don't you take me with you!" Li Yuanji begged.

"I'm going to do some work and I'll take you with me next time I go out to play." Li Jiancheng said and walked out directly.

"Third brother, where do you think the eldest brother is going? There are mysterious things once or twice every month. How about we follow him?" Li Xiuning suggested immediately when she saw the eldest brother leaving.

"You have to go by yourself. Big brother is reluctant to scold you and is not that kind to me." Li Yuanji curled his lips and said. You must know that it was the first time I followed big brother and wanted to know what he was doing because he was not very careful, so

She was immediately discovered by her eldest brother, so she was scolded. However, because Li Xiuning was the only girl among many children in the family, she only received a few words. Therefore, every time she saw her eldest brother doing something mysteriously, she would encourage Li Xiuning.

Yuanji followed. Of course, Li Yuanji knew that the treatment was different, so he would not follow her even if he was scolded. Therefore, every time Li Yuanji was called a "coward" by Li Xiuning, Li Yuanji could only knock his teeth out and swallow it. He was not the same as her.

, every time Li Xiuning could only stamp her feet angrily, and then go back to her room to read and practice swordplay.

"It's built, we're here again today!" After entering the residence next to the restaurant, He Qing came over soon. He Qing is now in her thirties, but maybe because of good maintenance, she still looks like she is in her early twenties. And Xie Wan

, Li Bing, Ye Ying, they are all similar, but Li Jiancheng always feels that they still need to find a man to rely on, so that their lives can be coordinated and life has meaning, so he also suggested it privately, but they all said there is no rush! Now

The era of Zhu Xi in the Southern Song Dynasty had not yet entered. Otherwise, a single gift might have forced a woman to abide by women's ethics for a lifetime. However, he had always been puzzled by what Zhu Xi said so nicely: "Forbidden human desires and uphold the laws of nature!" But how did he do it?

, for their own desires, they even got a nun. This kind of person can be said to be a typical hypocrite! Maybe Li Bing and Ye Ying are easier to talk to, because they don’t have children, but He Qing and Xie Wan are different if they have children. Who knows

Will it be good for the children if they find a man? Besides, given their current situation, are they afraid of not being able to find a man? Ever since the wages of the waiters in this restaurant became known, many people have come to our restaurant to sign up.

, of course Li Jiancheng will not collect randomly, what if a spy appears? Therefore, some people give up after a while, while some people with evil intentions are still working hard. Of course, some people have used bribery, but

The ones at the bottom don't know the boss behind the scenes and the specific operations, while the ones at the top are all women and don't have much desire. Moreover, Li Jiancheng has such a harmonious relationship with these women that there is no need to sell out for the money.

Such a thing, how much can those people pay? If you work for a year in a restaurant with wages and benefits, you will be worry-free for the rest of your life. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you must think about future generations, because Li Jiancheng has set a rule: give priority to recruiting employees

They are the descendants of our hotel employees. Now that the imperial examinations are coming out, our hotel will sponsor their descendants to study for the imperial examinations. Once these conditions come out, who will not be moved? Who doesn’t want to honor their ancestors? Therefore, there has not been a single betrayal incident in his restaurant so far, which is unacceptable

Not to mention it's a miracle.

"Come and take a look. Anyway, you have done a good enough job. There is nothing I need to say." Li Jiancheng praised.

"Haha, you always say nice things!" He Qing said with a smile, and at the same time took out a letter and said: "It was sent by my father. The letter said that the orphans' formations are now almost practiced."

In the past few years, his inner strength and mental skills in "Eternal Life Secrets of the Sun" have reached the fifth level, and then began to grow slowly. Now his martial arts can be regarded as second-rate in the world, and watching the tide, looking at the moon, and looking up

The three Japanese swordsmanships are powerful enough when combined with the mental skills, and the formations are also learned from the Three Talents Formation of Heaven, Earth, Man, and the Four Symbols Formation of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, which are more powerful than the previous one-word long snake formation and two-dragon water formation.

A lot, so in the past two years, he took out the one-word long snake formation and the two-dragon water formation, and asked the generals to train those orphans. Now, although these orphans cannot reach the level of the special forces in the previous life under the training of the generals, they do not have those

Conditions: There is no equipment or medicinal materials; but it is not too bad. After all, you can still use martial arts, so you can make up for some shortcomings.

Li Jiancheng took the letter and read it briefly. There were two things recorded on it, one of which was about the orphans practicing formations; the other was about the alchemists, blacksmiths and craftsmen who had been found. Now some of their character

The bad ones have all been eliminated, and those left behind are considered to be of good character. In the first two years, he wrote out the ratio of gunpowder and asked those who made alchemy to study it; and then he wrote down the method of making steel.

Write it down and let the blacksmiths do it. According to the memory of his previous life, there are Dongshan Coal Mine, Duerping Coal Mine, Guandi Mine, Ximing Mine, Xiyu Coal Mine, Nanyu Coal Mine, etc. As for whether they are called these names now

He didn't know. Anyway, he pointed out the approximate location and asked them to use these coal mines to refine iron and extract better steel. As for the carpenters, he drew the patterns of the muskets and asked them to make them.

. He is not worried about these people leaking this. First of all, they still don’t know the wonderful uses of these things. Secondly, he bought a large piece of land in Taiyuan and placed them there. The orphans are on the outside and they are on the inside to protect them.

The role of surveillance. As for those orphans, there is no need to worry. They were once bullied, but now they are not only raised, but also fed, drank, and educated in literature and martial arts. It can be said that their lives now are like heaven and hell compared to before.

For the boss who brought them such a life, he is a reborn parent to their young children, so it can be said that there is no reason to betray him at all.

After reading it, Li Jiancheng burned the letter and said to He Qing: "I can rest assured that Aunt He will handle the matter, and remember to keep it confidential and never leak it." He emphasized again.

He Qing always wondered why Li Jiancheng had so many warnings and instructions to keep these things secret, but since it was the boss who said it, she would carry it out.
