Li Shiming walked slowly along the garden path. He had thought about speeding up, but he didn't know whether Chief Escort Wang was watching him from behind. He needed to show his calmness to calm Chief Escort Wang's heart.
Once he left the garden area and saw his own yard, his worries were mostly put to rest.
Now he faces two choices. One is to report the matter to his father. His original father was Li Wenyuan, the prefect of Nanling Prefecture. Although he was only a fourth-rank official, he was the most powerful official in Nanling Prefecture.
With the power held by the original body's father Li Wenyuan, he is fully capable of hiring experts to kill Chief Escort Wang.
Another option is to do as Chief Escort Wang says and boil the medicine according to the prescription.
"Let's deal with it first. If there is no way to solve the problem, I will ask my father for help!" he thought to himself.
Anyway, Chief Escort Wang wants him to do something, so he won't do anything to him for a while. With the Three-Day Soul-Severing Pill, Chief Escort Wang won't be on guard against him.
Entering the yard with thoughts in mind, the maid Siqin, after seeing Li Shiming, quickly put the things in her hands behind her, then stepped forward and saluted with a smile.
Siqin was Li Shiming's personal maid. In addition to Siqin, there were five maids and two maids who served him specifically.
However, he did not like having too many people in the yard. Except for Siqin, the other servants were in the servants' room and would not come over without being called.
"What are you holding in your hand?" Li Shiming asked curiously as he saw Siqin's shy face.
"These are the little gadgets that Nanny Wang sent me. I thought they were pretty, so I ordered a few!" Siqin said as she stretched out her hand, revealing the red beans in her hand.
Li Shiming couldn't help but shook his head. No wonder Siqin was shy. This was acacia beans. It seemed that Siqin had grown up and had the thoughts of a little girl.
He was about to ask Siqin to do something, but he looked at the acacia beans again.
One end of these acacia beans was black, and he thought of the "Chicken Pearl". Chicken Pearl is also a kind of acacia beans, but it is highly poisonous. Ingesting two or three of them by mistake can be fatal.
Of course, few people know that chicken-mother pearls are highly poisonous. The reason is that acacia beans grow in the extreme south. Not to mention that people know that chicken-mother pearls are highly poisonous, few even know the difference between chicken-mother pearls and acacia beans.
"Siqin, go ask Grandma Wang how many of these black-headed acacia beans are left. Take back all those that have been given away. Just say I want them and give me the ones you have!" Li Shiming ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, young master!" Siqin curled her lips in dissatisfaction, but she did not dare to disobey his order, so she handed over the acacia beans in her hand.
"By the way, let Mo Yan come over again!" Li Shiming gave more instructions when he saw Si Qin was about to leave.
Li Shiming came to the study. He first re-copied the prescription given by Chief Escort Wang, only copying the amount of medicinal materials.
Having integrated the memories of his original body, his calligraphy is pretty good.
This world is similar to his previous life. The country he lives in is Xia, the writing used is Chinese characters, and there are even the same Four Books and Five Classics. It seems that this place is very similar to his previous life.
The reason why Li Shiming knew that the Four Books and Five Classics were the same was because he had read them in his memories of both lives.
In my previous life, when I was in the university library, I liked to read some ancient books. Although I didn’t study the Four Books and Five Classics too much, I was familiar with them.
In this life, he has been studying the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and is already a scholar.
He did not gain the title of scholar by taking advantage of his father's connections, but rather obtained it through his own knowledge and passing the examination.
It is not easy for ordinary people to become a scholar at the age of fifteen, but it is very easy for him who has a family background in scholarship.
Although he did not have connections with his father, who was a prefect, his learning conditions and resources were unimaginable for ordinary people.
As long as you are not stupid or unwilling to work hard, with such conditions, it is only a matter of time before you pass the college examination and become a scholar.
The geography of this world is also different from that of the previous life. Take Nanling Prefecture for example. There was no such a big prefecture as Nanling Prefecture in the history of the previous life.
Nanling Prefecture is located in the south of Xia State. It is connected to Zhongdu in the middle and Guanhai Prefecture in the north by an Xianzhan Canal. Together with the four prefectures in the east and west, it becomes the seven most important prefectures of Xia State.
While Li Shiming was thinking about this, the voices of Siqin and the servant Moyan came from outside the door.
Mo Yan walked in laboriously carrying a wooden box and carefully placed the box on the ground in front of him.
"Young man, everything you want has been made according to the drawings. Please see if there is anything that needs to be changed. I will do it right away!" Mo Yan reported with a boastful look on his face.
Li Shiming was excited, but he suppressed his emotions and opened the wooden box.
The wooden box contains the parts of the generator, all of which were made according to the drawings.
He had just traveled through time three days ago. In order to charge the uninterruptible power supply, he used his previous knowledge of electricity and designed the drawings based on his memories of this life and gave them to Mo Yan to handle. Now Mo Yan had just delivered them here.
Before getting it, he had already prepared himself mentally. As long as the difference was not too big, he could correct some minor mistakes himself.
But when he actually saw the real thing, he was still very surprised.
Not to mention the wooden parts, just look at the iron gears he needs. At first glance, you can't tell that they are items made in ancient society. Their sophistication makes him suspect that they were made by machine tools.
These are not the most difficult things. The two most difficult ones are the magnet and the copper wire.
He picked up the magnet and found that its appearance was completely satisfactory.
"Young Master, this magnet was made by Sinan Shop, and we chose their best magnets!" Mo Yan explained after seeing the magnet.
Sinan is a compass. The pointer of Sinan requires the magnet to be processed into a special shape. It is not difficult to use the same technology to process it into the shape required by Li Shiming.
A smile appeared on Li Shiming's face. He nodded and picked up the copper wire again.
To be honest, what worries him most is the copper wire, which requires the most technology.
The copper wire in his hand was thin and soft, with a layer of lacquer covering the surface. It would have been an extremely good copper wire in his previous life.
"I had this copper wire custom-made by the Wu family's jewelry store. When they heard that it was what you wanted, they found the best craftsman to make it overnight!" Mo Yan did not miss any opportunity to take credit.
"You did a good job on this matter. Siqin, give two taels of silver to Moyan!" How could Li Shiming not know Moyan's little thoughts? He was also satisfied with Moyan's work, and smiled and instructed Siqin.
Siqin obediently took the silver and handed it to Mo Yan, who was grinning from ear to ear.
"Mo Yan, don't say too much when you go down, and don't talk about the young master's affairs outside!" Si Qin whispered.
Although she didn't know what Li Shiming wanted these things for, it would be troublesome if the master found out that the young master was doing these things that had nothing to do with his studies before taking part in the autumn examination.
"Mo Yan, here is a prescription. Go buy the medicine according to the prescription and be quick. Also bring the case file of Tianxianglou!" Li Shiming moved his eyes away from the wooden box, thought of the important matter of finding Mo Yan, and gave the order in a deep voice.
Mo Yan, who got a new task, left happily with the silver.
