Passing through a grove of trees, we could see flames shooting into the sky in the distance.
Qin Hongzhi had a bad feeling.
"Please wait, sir, I'd like to go and take a look."
Before Nanzhi could answer, Qin Hongzhi hurriedly rode away.
Nanzhi followed closely behind, and the two arrived at almost the same time.
Thick smoke billowed up, making it almost impossible to see who was coming.
Qin Hongzhi roared, "Where are they?! What happened?!"
One person heard the sound and rushed over.
Upon seeing Qin Hongzhi, he immediately bowed and said, "Sir, we have failed again."
Immediately afterwards, two people carrying a stretcher hurriedly walked past.
Nanzhi thought to herself: This is too tragic.
Those who dedicate themselves to science are truly worthy of respect.
Cherry immediately examined the person from earlier.
"Master, there are no vital signs."
Life and death can happen in an instant, but it is the living who suffer the most.
Nan Zhi: "My lord, these people."
Qin Hongzhi frowned.
"Rest assured, Lord Nan, the court will not mistreat the family of anyone who sacrifices himself for the Great Yang."
Nanzhi nodded.
After the smoke cleared, it was as if nothing had happened.
After quickly tidying everything up, I got busy again.
Clearly, everyone has become accustomed to it.
If the precise formula for gunpowder is not developed, there will only be more casualties.
Nan Zhi let out a long sigh.
Then buy a recipe from Cherry.
"Lord Qin, is there any pen and ink here?"
Qin Hongzhi exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, of course!"
Before long, the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were brought to Nanzhi.
Qin Hongzhi grinds ink for Nanzhi.
Nanzhi copied down the recipe, along with precautions for making the explosives and instructions on how to use them.
He wrote for a full half hour before stopping.
The crowd watched from the sidelines, their admiration growing with each passing moment.
No wonder His Majesty overruled all objections and insisted on bestowing an official title upon you.
Nowadays, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War are all vying to have you come.
This shows your great talent!
Minister of War Qin Hongzhi was deeply moved. This operation saved a lot of effort and reduced casualties.
Nanjing University students are truly a blessing to Central China!
Qin Hongzhi tentatively asked, "Sir, there are still vacancies in the Ministry of War. Why not, sir?"
Nanzhi reached out her hand, interrupting him.
"My lord, I currently hold positions in both the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, and I am truly unable to be in two places at once."
"No rush, no rush. You only need to come over occasionally, and besides, the salary from the Ministry of War is separate from those two ministries. How about that?"
Everyone in the Ministry of War looked at Nanzhi with pleading in their eyes.
"Master, please agree quickly!" Cherry urged.
"His annual salary is four hundred taels, and with the other two departments combined, he has twelve hundred taels in savings!"
"A huge sum of money!"
Nanzhi's heart is itching.
Although she has learned many ways to make money and put them into practice.
But who would complain about having too much money?
"Okay, I agree!"
Qin Hongzhi laughed and reached out to put his arm around Nan Zhi's shoulder, only to suddenly realize that Nan Zhi was actually a woman.
Feeling somewhat abrupt, he reluctantly withdrew his hand.
"I'm in a good mood, so I'm treating everyone to dinner today!"
Qin Hongzhi seemed to remember something and looked at Nanzhi.
"Since you've been promoted, how about you treat us to a meal?"
Nan Zhi's eyes widened in surprise. Who said the Ministry of War was full of brutes?
When you calculate it, how is he any different from those civil officials?
The No. 1 building under heaven.
Looking at the huge crowd in front of her, Nanzhi immediately felt sorry for her wallet.
Fortunately, the restaurant belongs to my family, otherwise these people would have eaten us out of house and home.
Originally, I only asked the Ministry of War, but when I went back to change my clothes, I ran into people from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue.
So they all came.
The backyard of the No. 1 Building in the World.
A servant rushed in to report.
"Master, many officials have come to our front courtyard. Would you like to go and meet them?"
Beneath the fence, the man in black paused and put down the water jug in his hand.
"Alright, let's go see her. My sister will come in the future."
The foyer was so crowded that the private rooms were almost overflowing with people because of the arrival of these officials.
So everyone agreed to eat in the hall.
In order to maximize profits, Nanzhi picked up the recipes and introduced them to the adults one by one.
What a joke, these people are all big spenders.
If she treats us today, we'll have repeat customers in the future.
"Lord Tao, look at this dish! It's fragrant, spicy, and delicious!"
"Lord Gong, your teeth aren't very good, please try this dish..."
"This dish is most suitable for Lord Qin..."
Little Li San'er heard the sound from afar.
He walked forward in disbelief.
"elder sister."
Despite the noise of the crowd, Nanzhi still heard it.
She turned around.
The two looked into each other's eyes, as if everything had happened before.
Suddenly, a tall figure blocked their way.
Someone recognized him.
"Oh, General Song has arrived too."
"Everyone is here today."
Little Li San'er's eyes were full of resentment.
My brother-in-law is still the same as before, he hasn't changed at all.
The food and wine were excellent, and the people from all three departments thoroughly enjoyed their meal.
After eating, drinking, and getting drunk, they start picking fights.
Tao Hongtu and Gong Qijun started it first, arguing fiercely, and then people from both departments followed suit.
The Ministry of War officials tried to mediate, but they were soon drawn into the conflict themselves.
Spit flew everywhere.
It was much quieter in Nanzhi, because there was a large block of ice sitting next to me.
And it was an ice cube that reeked of vinegar.
Several years have passed, and Xiao Li San has long since come of age and is now old enough to get married.
