The slightly plump woman saw her companion start writing again and quickly leaned over to look at her handwriting. "Your handwriting has improved a lot. Did you practice secretly at home?"
"The literacy class has been opened in my daughter's county. She said that after helping to sell breakfast every day, she would go to study. Last time, with the help of her companions, she wrote me a reply." The woman who wrote the letter pushed the person away with a smile on her face and carefully put the brush back.
"We've already reached there so quickly. I remember it took two days to get there from the capital."
"Yeah! Get out of the way! We have to let others go!"
This is a really nice design. There's a separate desk, brushes, and rice paper for everyone to use.
"Your Majesty, this charcoal pencil has been made shorter as per your request, just the right size for these people to carry around. It also comes with a small board so you can wipe it clean after writing and use it again."
[Nowadays, everyone practices with charcoal pencils, and later on, you can switch to brushes according to your personal needs.]
[And there's a little board! This invention is so practical! No wonder these people are so happy.]
"Hey, look, that seems to be the Empress Chen." The woman looked up and carefully put the letter into her lapel, and when she looked up she saw the Empress Chen.
"You know what, Empress Chenfei has a face that shows happiness. Our Majesty has been doting on Empress Chenfei for many years." The slightly plump woman's face was full of envy.
"The Empress Chen is a person of great wisdom. I'm afraid that the inventions nowadays could fill a whole page. As for that baby carriage, I have already bought one and plan to bring it to my daughter when the time comes."
"Oh, it's so far, how can you carry it there?" The woman was instantly drawn back to her senses by her companion's words.
"The Empress Chen has invented a new type of carriage. People can sit inside, and the roof and the back can be used to carry things. I have already told Lao Niu to sell more skewers so that I can buy one when the time comes." The woman was in a good mood thinking that she would be able to visit her daughter in ten days.
"Just show off! You, Lao Niu, came at the right time. When the imperial court was recruiting ten companies, you immediately sent Lao Niu. Now the kebab business is so hot."
She patted her companion's hand and said, "Don't worry, I think there will be better business later. Remember to sign up in time when the time comes."
Every family that signed up to open a stall at the beginning made a lot of money.
Now that people are all eyeing this opportunity, it is not as easy as before.
The imperial court was still very cautious in its selection.
We will not agree to any family that has committed multiple crimes, such as gambling and fighting.
"Hey, look at our brains. We forget about the important things when we chat. It seems that there is an experiment in the back mountain today. I guess it will start soon."
"I'm afraid that His Majesty and Consort Chen are here just for that experiment."
"It is said that the experiment can directly blow people up."
"Go, go, go, go!"
*
The back mountain of Qinhan Academy.
Emperor Qin Yuanhao was already holding the little princess in his arms, with Concubine Chen beside him. They were standing on the top of the mountain and could clearly see the people conducting the experiment halfway up the mountain.
[This is a blasting experiment. We're actually here just for this! This is truly amazing! If we had this, the military strength of the Qin Dynasty would increase dramatically!]
[When the time comes, we will demonstrate our abilities in front of all the other nations. I'm afraid no one will dare to attack us easily anymore.]
That is.
Qin Yuanhao had this in mind, which is why he came here today to personally supervise the blasting. If it succeeds.
He will make arrangements for tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, they are ready." Zhou Mian climbed up from behind and said quickly.
"Well, let's start!" Qin Yuanhao gave an order.
Zhou Mian quickly waved the bamboo pole tied with red cloth in the air a few times.
Sure enough, everyone halfway up the mountain started moving.
Then the mountain pass was already crowded with scholars and common people, all looking expectantly at the mountainside.
They were fortunate enough to witness the birth of gunpowder, which was a witness to the process of the Qin Dynasty becoming powerful.
[It's started. This gunpowder looks really powerful!]
As the people halfway up the mountain gradually retreated, the fire starter was directly extended by several hundred meters.
With the sound of "sizzling".
The fuse was lit and was burning gradually under the stone.
"Bang……"
A huge noise resounded through the sky, the whole mountain seemed to be shaking, and smoke was everywhere at the explosion site.
Qin Yuanhao subconsciously hugged the little princess tightly, and with his other hand he held Concubine Chen in his arms.
[When the time comes, we will demonstrate our abilities in front of all the other nations. I'm afraid no one will dare to attack us easily again.]
That is.
Qin Yuanhao had this in mind, which is why he came here today to personally supervise the blasting. If it succeeds.
He will make arrangements for tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, the power of this gunpowder is so great."
The Concubine Chen looked at the explosion site with a sharp gaze. This gunpowder was much more powerful than the small explosives she had developed herself. If the soldiers of the Great Qin had this gunpowder in their hands, no country would dare to offend them.
And this gunpowder is not only used in military affairs, it can also be used for other purposes.
Wouldn't it be great to use this gunpowder to blast mountains and build roads? Only when roads are smooth can our Great Qin's economy be boosted.
[You can also mine various ores. The ores are very useful. I'm already looking forward to it.]
[However, this kind of gunpowder must be carefully managed and not be used recklessly.]
Concubine Chen thought what he said made perfect sense. Seeing the little princess's worry, she quickly asked, "Your Majesty, this gunpowder is so powerful, how could those people be so powerful?"
"Those people are our Great Qin's top talents. My people are protecting them. They also know the whole story and are willing for my people to follow them." Qin Yuanhao quickly lowered his head to explain.
"I also brought their families with me and have them live in the academy."
"But these idiots seem to have only the research of gunpowder in their minds. When I went to ask them to come, they thought I was a rebel and refused to obey me."
"I showed them the imperial seal, and they all accused me of forging it."
Concubine Chen looked up at Emperor Qin Yuanhao with curiosity, "Then how did Your Majesty convince them in the end?"
Qin Yuanhao just smiled but said nothing.
In the eyes of Concubine Chen, this smile must have bad intentions.
[I know this question. The Emperor father directly threw the small gunpowder that my mother developed to those people. They were impressed by it and thought it was made by the Emperor father.]
[Who cares if they're rebels or not? They're going to become the emperor's apprentice right then and there.]
Princess Chen: Huh?
After all this trouble, I still got her name.
Qin Yuanhao touched the tip of his nose and said, "My dear, your small gunpowder is really powerful. It can capture these people directly. They don't care whether they are the emperor or not."
"But after I brought them to Qinhan Academy, they believed it. Moreover, these people didn't eat or drink, and almost didn't sleep, in order to study this gunpowder. I really admire them."
This is what is called the spirit of scientific research. It would be a shame if such people went to other countries.
"Your Majesty must have put in a lot of effort to subdue these people. We must make sure their families feel a sense of belonging at Qinhan Academy so that they can focus on their research."
"Your Majesty, the smoke has dissipated."
