"His Majesty truly needs to run the Academy of Natural Sciences. Only in this way can the Academy's achievements be truly valued by the world in the future!"

Li Jue smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"Actually, it's not difficult to get His Majesty to pay attention. Just put the research and development of firearms in the Academy of Physics, and I guarantee your father will send people there to keep an eye on it every day, hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Li Tai glared fiercely at Li Jue.

"Shut up!"

"Now I regret it, I regret getting involved in this gunpowder mess with you."

"Just a few days ago, several hundred pounds of gunpowder were stolen. Your grandfather has been sending people to investigate every day. They've even searched my family's mansion three times already!"

"These idiots don't even realize that if I wanted gunpowder, I wouldn't need to steal it. I could just make my own!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue shook his head in frustration. He realized that Yuchi Fan, that idiot, was not suitable to manage the Hundred Cavalry Division. This guy was really too brainless, daring to doubt Li Tai!

Luckily, he didn't dare to doubt me, otherwise I would have blown him to heaven with a big firecracker!

"Alright, let's not talk about him for now. Let's talk about how to build the Institute of Physics."

"Oh, by the way, what kind of building does Fourth Uncle plan to build? Have the blueprints been drawn up yet?"

"If you can't draw blueprints, your nephew can volunteer, hehehe!"

Li Tai refused on the spot upon hearing this.

"No need!"

"You dare mention the blueprints to me?"

"Don't you even know who my father-in-law is? He's Yan Lide! Countless imperial palaces and Taoist temples from the Sui and Tang dynasties were built by my father-in-law's family!"

"Uh..."

Upon hearing this, Li Jue immediately shut up. Although he prided himself on his skill in drawing architectural blueprints, he dared not compare himself to the Yan family, a family of craftsmen.

This family is almost entirely composed of master craftsmen or highly skilled painters!

“Since someone has already drawn up the blueprints for Fourth Uncle, I will not overstep my bounds.”

"But you'll have to use my cement and sand for construction, right?"

"I refuse to believe it, your father-in-law's family can even make cement!"
