Until the two figures slowly melted into the depths of the ink-black night.
A moment later, Qi Meng's lips curled up slightly, forming a meaningful smile as subtle as a fleeting night-blooming cereus.
Then, in a soft voice as gentle as a breeze rustling leaves, she murmured, "Qin Qianluo, we will meet again someday."
At that moment, Qin Qianluo, completely unaware, was being silently watched by Qimeng, like prey being quietly locked onto by a cheetah, but she herself was completely oblivious to it.
Upon returning to her residence, she immediately threw herself into her busy and demanding studies and rigorous training, as she always did.
The days passed like a taut bowstring, tight and fulfilling, with no leisure or slackness whatsoever.
On the morning of that day, Qin Qianluo stood tall and straight in the imperial court.
It looked like a meticulously carved jade statue, exquisite and serene, as if isolated from the noisy world around it.
On the surface, she appeared focused and unblinking, as if she were listening intently to the reports from the ministers in the court.
However, in reality, drowsiness surged over her like a raging tide, wave after wave, relentlessly eroding her consciousness.
Her head gradually became dizzy and heavy, as if it were filled with lead.
Her upper and lower eyelids felt as if they weighed a ton, constantly pulling at each other until they almost stuck together, causing her to drift off to sleep involuntarily.
The real reason is that she has been so busy lately, like a spinning top, that her sleep time has been severely compressed and her sleep quality has been deteriorating.
So much so that even during the morning court session, one might occasionally succumb to drowsiness and steal a moment for a short rest.
At this critical juncture, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War had undergone a long period of diligent research and tireless exploration.
The much-anticipated gunpowder was finally successfully developed and completed its initial testing phase smoothly.
Although the power of gunpowder at present has not yet reached the level of power and shock that everyone expected.
But after all, this solid and crucial first step has been taken on this arduous path of scientific research.
At this moment, officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War are working together wholeheartedly to conduct in-depth research on how to further enhance the power of gunpowder.
In an attempt to break through existing limitations and tap into the greater potential of gunpowder.
In a daze, Qin Qianluo vaguely heard the ministers reporting the news of the successful development of gunpowder.
The sound, as faint as the fluttering of a mosquito's wings, pierced through her chaotic consciousness like a sharp bolt of lightning.
This made her rouse herself, thinking, "The Ministry of Works has actually succeeded in developing gunpowder? This speed far exceeds my expectations."
"Yes, Luo Bao, Shi Xingbai was just talking about this." 001's voice rang out, dispelling some of her drowsiness.
"It seems that progress is going quite smoothly."
I originally thought it would take at least six months to achieve anything.
In that case, it would be time to bring out the Yongle Encyclopedia, the Shoushi Calendar, and the Commentary on the Waterways Classic.
Now that the Ministry of Industry has achieved phased results in gunpowder research, it should have enough energy and manpower to conduct in-depth research on these areas.
By the way, how is the research on medical classics progressing on the part of the imperial physicians?
001 flipped through the documents and said after a moment, "The progress looks alright, but..."
The books *Shoushi Calendar* and *Commentary on the Waterways Classic* primarily deal with professional knowledge of water management and agriculture, and are of little use in the current development of gunpowder.
Qin Qianluo said softly, "Although we haven't heard any news about floods so far this year, it's always wise to take precautions."
Taking advantage of the summer and abundant sunshine, we should start building some drainage facilities as soon as possible to make full preparations for possible floods next year.
Moreover, waterwheels, agricultural implements that can greatly improve irrigation efficiency, should be installed as soon as possible.
When I was planting this year, I went to the farm to observe carefully and found that the watering and irrigation process was quite laborious and consumed a lot of manpower and time.
This will have an adverse effect on crop growth and harvest.
Now that gunpowder research has begun to show results, it's time to focus more on the actual needs of the people.
Oh, and bring out the books "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" as well; I'll give them to Father at the same time.
The training intensity hasn't been too high these past few days, so I've had some time to summarize and organize some practical medical knowledge from medical books.
This allows even illiterate ordinary people to easily understand the meaning, so that they can use this knowledge to prevent and deal with some common diseases in their daily lives.
Could you please add some simple, clear, and vivid illustrations to make this knowledge into small, portable, and easy-to-read booklets for distribution?
We must never allow the people to finally have enough food and their living conditions to improve.
Ultimately, the lack of basic medical knowledge leads to unnecessary injuries, deaths, and the spread of disease.
If that's the case, then all my work will have been for nothing.
