Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Liu Bai added a cup of tea to Li Er with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, although Liu Bai has some fantastic ideas, he is nothing more than a mortal. Gunpowder is actually the same thing as the firecrackers we usually set off. It’s just that some improvements have been made to the compatibility of the prescription.”

He glanced at Li Er, who seemed to be still in shock, and continued: "Just like the bobbin carts, columbine carts and other farm tools that Liu Bai once built, they are actually recorded in the history books, or because of the age And lost, or because people have no way of discovering."

As he spoke, he shook his head, "People are always afraid because of the unknown, the only thing they lack is a pair of eyes that are good at discovering. If everyone is like this, then there will be no rumors about gods in the world anymore."

Li Er was stunned.

He understood what Liu Bai meant.

To put it bluntly, the gunpowder is essentially a firecracker.

However, Liu Bai made some improvements.

Like bobbins.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there were already waterwheels.

But no one thought that the waterwheel could run on its own, relying on the power of the water flow, without the need for people to step on it.

The reason why Liu Bai looks so outstanding is only because of his pair of eyes that are good at discovering.

"I, the land of the Central Plains, has been passed down for thousands of years, and the culture is endless, but I have a picture."

After thinking it over, he couldn't help but blush again.

Fear of the unknown, isn't he talking about himself?

Liu Bai smiled lightly, and said: "Things in the world are always like this. Some people don't want to die of old age, so they want to live forever. Some people envy flying birds, and they dream that they have a pair of wings. But there is no shortcut in the world? They are all our ancestors, step by step. On the way out, the predecessors plant trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade."

As he spoke, he looked deeply at Li Er.

He had wanted to say these words a long time ago.

Take it as a reflection of giving Li Er a vaccination.

Throughout the dynasties, the young and wise emperors always had a dull old age.

It was the case with Emperor Qin, and it was the same with Wu of Han Dynasty.

Li Er also couldn't escape this vicious circle.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have died under the 'elixir of longevity' given by a strange Indian monk.

When Li Er heard this, he was silent for a long time.

The tea was drunk one cup after another.

After the pine cones in the red clay stove were all burned to ashes, he slowly stood up.

Then he made a move that no one could have imagined!

He unexpectedly bowed his hands to Liu Bai!

"I'm really educated!"

Liu Bai smiled lightly, stood up and returned the gift.

"Your Majesty is wise, Liu Bai admires you!"

These words, Liu Bai did not go against his will at all.

It is estimated that there is only such a person in history who can face life and death directly and fully accept the position of persuasion.

Li Chengqian's eyes almost popped out.

When had he seen Li Er's attitude like this?

Wynn also looked at Liu Bai in horror.

He has been with Li Er all his life, and the same treatment has only appeared to a few important officials.

Those few are all the pillars of the country, and the youngest one is already in his sixtieth birthday!

How old is Liu Bai?

Liu Jin on the side, although also looked shocked.

But as long as you observe carefully, you will find that his appearance is completely faked.

But now, no one pays attention to him.

He also secretly gave Liu Bai a thumbs up.

After Liu Bai glanced at him, he quietly retracted it.

Li Er didn't talk about gunpowder anymore.

Both he and Liu Bai knew it well.

In a short period of time, at least until the members of the Pei family are removed, gunpowder cannot appear again.

"Liu Bai, there are still four months until the queen's birthday. Before that, I will go to Jiucheng Palace to handle the government affairs. I hope to see you when I return to the palace!"

"Liu Bai must abide by the agreement with His Majesty, and will definitely enter the palace on her birthday!"

It has been two days since I came back from Qinling.

Fang Xuanling and others would come here once a day, and Liu Bai would thank the guests behind closed doors.

If you think about it with your toes, you can tell that some old guys are here to complain.

Liu Bai suddenly blew up the Pei family completely, catching them by surprise.

But in the same way, Fang Xuanling and the others were not prepared at all.

I had no choice but to hurry and start to take care of the Pei family's henchmen. I was so busy all day long that I couldn't bear it.

But in any case, the affairs of the Pei family have come to an end.

Liu Bai didn't want to worry about the rest.

The reason given to Fang Xuanling and the others was that they were sick all the time, and they didn't want to infect the central bosses.

Liu Bai didn't lie, it's just that he wasn't the one who got sick.

Li Chengqian

Coming out of Li Chengqian's room, Liu Bai shook his head.

"Deserved!"

Chapter 305 How much is food worth?

In fact, Li Chengqian often said that he was sick in the past.

However, that was just an excuse not to go to school.

This time it is true.

Even in the yard, you can smell a disgusting smell.

For two days in a row, Li Chengqian vomited so faintly that he almost vomited bile.

Whether it was porridge or medicinal soup, let alone drinking it, he could vomit for half an hour just by looking at it.

Liu Bai clutched his nose and ran to the study in a hurry, only then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Live it!

Purely deserved!

He is not wronged at all!

Well done, why go to the clan mansion to see the excitement?

When he came back from the clan's mansion two days ago, he had already vomited into the current dog's virtue.

Needless to say, Liu Bai could also guess the reason.

It's not surprising that a person who is driven crazy by others will do anything.

Even if Li Yuanchang chewed up Pei Xuanji's bones, Liu Bai would not be surprised.

But if you look at it deliberately, it is purely a brain bubble.

Li Chengqian's illness was completely caused by nausea!

Back in the study, quickly close the window, the smell finally disappeared.

Sitting on a chair, he pressed lightly on the wall next to him.

A hidden compartment popped out by itself.

Liu Bai took out the ledger from the hidden compartment, and carefully flipped through it.

Anyone who has done accounting knows that as long as the business grows, no matter whether there is something shady or not, the account books cannot be seen by others.

Especially experienced old accountants can see many tricks from the accounts.

Therefore, apart from Liu Bai, the only ones who knew that there was an account book in this secret compartment were Liu Wan'er and Shen Wansan.

In normal times, Shen Wansan would come home every month to add recent business transactions to the ledger.

Liu Bai also saved himself from asking Shen Wansan every time.

Look at the ledger, the status of incoming business is clear at a glance!

Turning to the newly recorded accounts, Liu Bai did some calculations and shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that millions of silver coins are not a small burden for the imperial court."

It has been more than a month since the grain was harvested, and the victims in various places have long since settled down.

It stands to reason that the court should pay the food money in one lump sum.

But the Ministry of Civil Affairs couldn't come up with that much money for a while.

Now, it is only [-]% paid.

There are still a full 280 million guan!

No matter how close the relationship between Liu Bai and the imperial court is, it is impossible to give such a harsh discount.

If no one came to ask for the bill in person, who would have known that it would take years and months for them to deliver the money?

You know, among the six departments, apart from the Ministry of Industry, the other five are tightly held by Changsun Wuji.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs is willing to send the silver, so there is a ghost!

"It's hard to be a good person these days."

Liu Bai flipped through it casually, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with the accounts, he put them away.

Li Chengqian is ill again, which is equivalent to the academy's plan to establish a school of mathematics, and it will be delayed for a while.

It is even more out of the question to want to control the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Sinong Temple.

Liu Bai regretted entrusting such an important task to the unreliable Li Chengqian.

But apart from him, there are really few people who can make achievements in mathematics.

Chai Lingwu was okay, but Liu Bai knew him too well.

For the things he is interested in, he will definitely do his best, and he will complete the task without eating or drinking.

But once he catches up with something he's not interested in, it's not surprising that he's doing foreign work, pretending to be ill.

As soon as the School of Computing was mentioned, Liu Bai thought of the tasks of the system again.

The last time I went to the academy, I wanted to ask Wang Ji and Yu Shinan when they could expand the academy according to his plan.

But before they had a good discussion, there was such a thing as Li Yuanchang and the Pei family.

Now, what Liu Bai hopes most is for the system to send him a mathematician.

"It's important to complete the task first"

Just do it!

Liu Bai immediately opened the door and went out, and ordered Xu Chu to arrange a carriage to go to the academy.

The carriage moved very slowly.

In the morning, it was time for Wang Ji and Yu Shinan to go to class. Instead of sitting in the academy, it was better to enjoy the scenery on the road.

From Jingyang County to Chang'an City, an hour and a half journey, Liu Bai walked for more than two hours.
