Chapter 191 Gunpowder

"This is great!"

Liu Yizhi said happily: "Shaoqing, you have really helped our Imperial College this time. I would like to express my sincere thanks to you on behalf of more than a thousand female students in the Imperial College."

"Where is your empty words to express your gratitude?"

Pei Shaoqing said in the original words: "You are so stingy, you have no sincerity at all."

"Hey, you guy!" Liu Yizhi pointed at Pei Shaoqing, then smiled, "What sincerity do you want?"

Pei Shaoqing hooked his finger and smiled: "The Imperial College girls learned more than a thousand girls. I didn't see them. Is it pretty good but not young. I haven't seen you send me some girls as concubines."

"What's your idea?" Liu Yizhi cursed with a smile, "You really dare to think that we are the Imperial College, not your immortal residence. If you want to take a concubine, you will find someone to match with me."

Pei Shaoqing suddenly exclaimed, slapped his thigh and said, "Old Liu, no matter how much he jokes, don't you think this is actually a way?"

"Girls from Nu Hongxue can go to various workshops to do their work,"

"The students in the Women's Ethics Museum are all daughters of high-ranking families, so don't worry."

"But what about the poor female students who are studying dance and learning? What should they do?"

Liu Yizhi frowned and said, "Shaoqing, you don't really want to make an idea for them, right?"

Speaking of this, he said: "Then I have to warn you that the mission of our Imperial College girls is to teach students girls to be beautiful, dance, music, and virtue, so that they can better take care of their husbands and children after they get married, but they will not mess with you and force them to sell themselves in the fireworks."

"What if it's just a show?"

Pei Shaoqing smiled and said, "Is it OK?"

"Isn't that still a prostitute?" Liu Yiyi waved his hand, "It's not okay to just sell his skills."

"Then let's talk about it differently." Pei Shaoqing said, "Actors, they are just actors!"

That is, just now, Pei Shaoqing said that, and an idea popped up from his mind - a large-scale performance!

In my previous life, there was a neighboring country who was very good at doing this. A song called Arirang won 100,000 actors at the same time, and the scene was really spectacular.

Moving such artistic performances to Chang'an of this era will definitely have a market.

Anyifang, Sifang, Nanshi City, was originally going to build an entertainment industry, so why not just do this?

We simply built the entire Anyifang into a bird's nest. Of course, this bird's nest will definitely not be made of steel pine, but can only be made of stone and wood structure.

Not only can large-scale literary and artistic performances be held here,

You can even hold polo competitions, and you can charge a lot of money by just collecting tickets.

But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the driving force behind the surrounding land. This venue will become a landmark building and business card of the entire Chang'an!

At that time, noble officials and noble families will come one after another.

By then, the land prices in Gelifang around Nanshi will soar!

At that time, the Shouchao Department will only carry out the rolling development of surrounding land and will have a lot of money.

Then he said to Liu Yizhi: "Old Liu, that's right. Our guard and capture department plans to build a large venue in Anyifang and then recruit a group of actors to specialize in literary and artistic performances."

He said in his heart, as for what the actors do in private?

Then they can't control the guards, it's a private matter.

"So that?" Liu Yizhi said, "I think about it."

Liu Yizhi did not agree immediately.

Pei Shaoqing was not in a hurry.

...

In a blink of an eye, time has come to June.

The land of Guanzhong has entered midsummer.

The city of Chang'an is particularly stuffy and makes people breathless.

Wu Zetian couldn't stand this kind of high temperature and had already taken Tang Xianyou to Luoyang to escape the heat. Before leaving, he also took the little emperor Li Dan away.

Pei Shaoqing did not go to Luoyang.

Pei Shaoqing refused to go, so Princess Taiping naturally refused to go.

The young couple got married not long ago, and it was the closest time, and they wanted to stick together all the time.

The princess mansion in Changlefang has not been repaired yet, and it is impossible to repair such a major project without a year or two, so I can only stay in the villa of Leyou Garden for a temporary stay.

Fortunately, the terrain of Leyou Garden is high and relatively cool.

It was the hottest afternoon, and Princess Taiping was lying in the Ziyu Pavilion in the villa to cool down.

Princess Taiping has been pregnant for four months and her lower abdomen has slightly raised, so she is particularly prone to sleepiness recently, so she is asleep in a daze again.

In a daze, I heard a sound of footsteps coming over.

"Madam, look, what is this?" was Pei Shaoqing's voice.

I sat up and looked up, and saw Pei Shaoqing excitedly walking into Ziyuting.

Behind Pei Shaoqing, Changjin was still following Changjin, who was holding a tray.

There was a porcelain bowl on the tray, but I didn’t know what food was stored in it?

However, no matter what food is eaten, Princess Taiping doesn't want to eat it. She has no appetite at all recently.

However, when Chang Jin placed the porcelain bowl in front of him, Princess Taiping immediately became appetite again, because the porcelain bowl contained a crystal clear gel-like food, which looked very delicious.

The key is that this kind of food has just been used to ice, and it is air conditioning.

"What is this?" Princess Taiping said, "It looks so good."

"Madam, please try it." Pei Shaoqing said attentively, "What will you tell you after eating?"

Princess Taiping nodded softly, then took the porcelain spoon from Changjin's hand and scooped a small spoon into the sandalwood mouth.

I feel a sense of heart-wrenching icy at the entrance, and a fresh fragrance of mint, which makes me feel refreshed.

The summer afternoon also dissipated in an instant, and the drowsy mind that had just been cleared up instantly. It was so refreshing!

I smacked my lips and couldn't help but scoop another spoonful.

In just a moment, a bowl was finished.

It's so delicious, I can't stop at all.

"Husband, what is this? It's so delicious."

Princess Taiping licked her red lips with her little tongue and said coquettishly: "I want it more."

I still want it? Listening to Princess Taiping's coquettish tone, Pei Shaoqing was moved.

If it weren't for the pride that Pei Shaoqing would really want to rectify Princess Taiping at all costs.

After a couple for several months, Princess Taiping instantly felt Pei Shaoqing's thoughts, and she also looked charming and even deliberately licked her red lips with her little tongue.

Pei Shaoqing really couldn't hold it in anymore now.

He turned around and said to Changjin: "Changjin, go and make a bowl of wood lotus jelly for the princess."

Changjin said oh, and said, "But young master, it may be a little slow."

"It's okay to be slower, just slower, just do it slowly." Pei Shaoqing said with a low smile.

I feel a little confused when I am always young. What's wrong with the young master? What's ridiculous about this?

After sending Chang Jin away, Princess Taiping giggled: "Why don't you leave her behind?"

"What are you doing to leave her?" Pei Shaoqing lay on the embroidery couch with a cool mat and pressed against Princess Taiping from behind.

"Don't think I can't see it." Princess Taiping arched her delicate body back and laughed, "You look at Changjin's eyes as if you want to eat her. You have been making a decision on her, right?"

"Yes, I don't deny this." Pei Shaoqing smiled, "but she is too young."

"Are you young? Changjin is already sixteen." Princess Taiping said, "According to the Tang Dynasty's Rule, you can get married at the age of thirteen, and there are more girls who have children at the age of thirteen."

"Too young." Pei Shaoqing shook his head, "I'll talk until I was seventeen."

Seventeen years old is the bottom line that Pei Shaoqing can accept. Although girls of this age may not be mature in mind, they are basically mature in physiology, and they will no longer have psychological burdens if they are pushed down.

Princess Taiping suddenly said, "Changqin is still young, but Qingxuan is not young anymore."

"Ahem, how can we not mention this?" Pei Shaoqing said a little embarrassedly.

When Qingxuan was mentioned, he felt a cry of bitterness. The pretty Taoist nun couldn't touch her anymore.

Princess Taiping closed her eyes and said nothing more. However, Pei Shaoqing's mind was uncontrollably floating. Shangguan Wan'er, whom she met in Lingqi Hall on the wedding day.

It's strange, I've seen you again since that time.

Later, he went to Daming Palace many times and was stunned to meet him.

I have to ask Gao Lingsong, the old guy, to help him check it out.

...

Pingkangfang, No. 1 courtyard of Shenxianju.

Yang Liu walked into Xue Paner's boudoir with a delicate food box.

"Pan'er." Yang Liu said repeatedly, "Look at what Dalang has sent you?"

Xue Pan'er, who was taking a nap, sat up and said in a daze: "Madam, are you here?"

"Not coming." Yang Liu shook his head and said, "However, he sent the slaves in the mansion to bring food, which is said to be a treasure for cooling you with his own hands."

"Yeah?"

Xue Pan'er said happily: "Madam open it and take a look."

Yang Liu opened the food box and saw ice cubes in the food box, and air conditioning was coming out.

In the center of the ice cube is a delicate porcelain bowl that is buckled with a lid.

When I opened the lid of the porcelain bowl, I saw a bowl of crystal clear glue.

"What is this?" Xue Paner shouted in surprise, "So beautiful."

"Dalang is really meant to send you food from all over the world."

Looking at this bowl of exquisite food, Yang Liu felt a little delicious.

...

Changjin made another bowl of wood lotus jelly, then used ice cubes to curl it, and then sent it from Yuting.

When she walked into Ziyu Pavilion, she saw Princess Taiping lying lazily on the couch. Pei Shaoqing's light robe was also lifted up to her waist. When she saw Changjin, she quickly put it down again.

Changjin blushed.

Although the little girl is young, she doesn't know nothing.

Especially since Pei Shaoqing got married with Princess Taiping, he often encountered him.

"Young Master." Chang Jin turned his back and said shyly, "Can I come in?"

"Chang Jin, come in quickly." Princess Taiping said without waiting for Pei Shaoqing to speak.

Changjin then turned around, walked to the couch with a tray, and then placed it on the short table in front of the couch.

Princess Taiping couldn't wait to pick it up and finish it with a few bites, then said with unsatisfactory words: "Oh my God, there are such delicious and beautiful foods in this world."

"Husband, what is this thing?"

"This is called Mulian Frozen." Pei Shaoqing smiled, "A good product to cool down."

"Mu Lianjun?" Princess Taiping said again, "Husband, please send some to my mother, right?"

"Send to Luoyang?" Pei Shaoqing said, "It's too far away. It's already rotten when sent to Luoyang. If you send the Mulian seeds over there, no one will do it. I'd better wait until she comes back to make it for her to eat."

"Okay." Princess Taiping nodded and said, "Where did you learn it from, Husband?"

Pei Shaoqing said: "This was developed by Changjin and I, and it took us a long time."

Pei Shaoqing did take a lot of thought and time to make Mulian Frozen.

Because he only knew that Mulian Frozen was made of Mulian Seeds, but he didn't know how to do it, so he and Changjin spent a lot of time exploring.

But it was done in the end.

In the future, the powerful and wealthy people in Chang'an will be able to have an extra good product for cooling off.

However, the price of this cool-down product will be very expensive.

Pei Shaoqing did not intend to make the method of making Mulian Frozen.

Not only Mulian jelly, but also the brewing technology of liquor, as well as movable type printing technology, ink formula, etc. Pei Shaoqing has no intention of making it public.

He is not **.

It is impossible to do good deeds in good deeds.

You have to point to these unique technologies to make money.

...

Of course, Pei Shaoqing is trying much more than this black technology.

For example, at this time, Lu Shisan was busy working in the backyard of Cuiwei Palace.

I saw Lu Shisan bring out a large dustpan of black particles, then poured them on the bluestone slab in the yard, and carefully spread them out and spread them flat.

After all the spread was flat, Lu Shisan waved his hand and said, "Silk incense!"

A disciple handed over the lit incense, and Lu Shisan took the incense and put it on the flat particles.

The next moment, there was only a sound of squeaking, and the black particles on the bluestone slab turned into a ball of fire. The ball of fire came so quickly and so violently that it almost swallowed Lu Shisan.

"Master?!" More than a dozen disciples were startled and did not dare to get close.

But fortunately, the fire came and went quickly and disappeared in an instant.

Only then did more than a dozen disciples snatched up and helped Lu Shisan up with all his strength.

But I saw that Lu Shisan's entire face was lacquered and black, his eyebrows, beard, and his hair were burned, and there were a few holes on his round neck robe, which made him look so embarrassed.

However, Lu Shisan's eyes were unprecedentedly bright.

"A Qi, go and report to Si Cheng! The gunpowder is done!"

Lu Shisan laughed and said, "The gunpowder has been prepared successfully! Hahaha!"

"Here!" an apprentice responded, then turned around and headed towards the front door.

It is still a distance from Cuiwei Palace to Chang'an, and it takes two hours to ride a horse.

But after only more than an hour, Pei Shaoqing rushed to Cuiwei Palace.

Obviously, Pei Shaoqing came here on a pegasus, and when he arrived at Cuiwei Palace, he was already soaked in sweat.

Pei Shaoqing's mood is understandable. After all, this is black gunpowder, a great invention that is enough to have a subversive impact on military technology!

With gunpowder, the way of war will become completely different.

Even if the materials and manufacturing processes are limited, rifles and machine guns cannot be made, but there is no problem with smoothbore guns such as three-eyed guns, clamps and flintlock guns.

Of course, the most important thing is artillery!

With artillery, war will be completely different!

Pei Shaoqing doesn’t like being an official, and he doesn’t like fighting even more.

Because being an official is too hard and fighting is even more life-threatening, I don’t like it.
Chapter completed!
