"No trouble, just wrap it on me." Dashu patted his chest and let out a hearty laugh.

as predicted.

With the big tree leading the way, it took Li Jin and the others a very short time to come to the place where the big tree found the saltpeter, and looked at these strangely shaped white prismatic crystals.

Ying Yuan couldn't believe it, "I never thought there would be so many here."

"These things are called saltpeter, and they are very versatile." It is also one of the raw materials for gunpowder.

Because the finished product of gunpowder has not yet appeared in this world, Li Jin did not say the following words.

at the same time.

Li Jin also finally knew where Ying Ziqi's saltpeter came from in the previous life.

Come on.

Before Li Jin was reborn, he also mentioned saltpeter to Ying Ziqi, but Li Jin concealed the specific use of saltpeter, and only said that it was a medicinal thing that he had seen in ancient books, so that Ying Ziqi could find some back when he saw it.

At that time, Ying Ziqi happened to go to Zhuzhou to meet the saltpeter Li Jin was talking about, so he brought some back.After all, Li Jin is Ying Ziqi's important pawn, and Ying Ziqi will not be dissatisfied with this trivial matter.

But Ying Zi prayed for a hand.

Said that there is only so much saltpeter, and then knocked Li Jin from the sidelines, wanting to know other uses of saltpeter besides medicine.

Ying Ziqi has been with Li Jin for so many years, and he definitely doesn't believe Li Jin's claim that saltpeter is medicinal.Therefore, in Ying Ziqi's view, Li Jin must be hiding something.

However, no matter what Ying Ziqi did or how he tested, Li Jin just didn't say anything, and only asked about the medicinal use, which made Ying Ziqi very angry.

However, since Li Jin is the heir of the Dingbei prince, Ying Ziqi really needs the power brought by Li Jin's identity as the Dingbei prince, so he dare not act rashly, so he has to suppress his anger, thinking that when the power is in his hands in the future, he will be with him. Li Jin settled the matter properly.

The reason why Li Jin chose to hide it at that time was because the power of gunpowder was too powerful, and Ying Ziqi was too young at that time, if he told him, it would definitely attract a lot of blood.

It turns out.

Li Jin's worries were not wrong. Later, Yingzi Qiying asked Ying to fight. With Li Jin's help, he captured an enemy city, but still ignored Li Jin's objections, and directly slaughtered the people in that city.

It was during this massacre that Li Jin and Ying Ziqi formally disagreed, even nearly broke up.

Simultaneously.

Li Jin was also grateful in his heart that he didn't tell Ying Ziqi about the gunpowder back then, otherwise with Ying Ziqi's madness, the casualties would have been more serious and tragic.

But this massacre is not the end, but the beginning of Ying Ziqi's series of crazy behaviors.

In the following several siege battles, Ying Ziqi adopted the method of massacring the cities, not counting the small cities, seven large cities were massacred.

Regarding Ying Ziqi's massacre of the city, it's not that the ministers of the DPRK have no objections, but Ying Ziqi is already in power and has the right to supervise the country, and those opposing voices have no effect at all.

"Third Prince, they have already surrendered, why do you insist on massacring the city?"

"Non-my family, its heart must be different."

"You mean to slaughter all the foreigners? Even if they surrender?"

"Yes, these people don't need to live at all. Death is the best destination for them. Li Jin, you are too kind of a woman. These foreigners are not worth talking about."

Suddenly.

Yingyuan's worried voice came in, interrupting Li Jin's memories, "Ajin? Ajin? Why didn't you speak suddenly, Ajin?"

"It's nothing, I just remembered some bad things from the past."

Li Jin, who came back to his senses, smiled at Yingyuan, signaling him not to worry.

past?Is it those people from Dingbei Palace?

As soon as Li Jin said this, Ying Yuan thought of those hypocritical people in the Dingbei Palace, but Li Jin said it was fine, so Ying Yuan didn't continue to struggle with this issue, "A Jin, you just said that these stones are called saltpeter ?”

"Yes." Li Jin nodded, picked up a piece of saltpeter and said, "Appropriate use of it can eliminate filth and turbidity, diuresis and diarrhea, detoxify and reduce swelling, etc. However, if it is to be used as medicine, it needs to be processed. , cannot be used directly.”

"Medicine..."

The curiosity in Ying Yuan's eyes grew even stronger.

Over the years in the palace, Ying Yuan has devoted his spare time to researching medical books, so he naturally knows many medicinal materials that can be used as medicine, but this is the first time Ying Yuan has heard that stones can be used as medicine.

"Here you are." Li Jin handed the stone to Ying Yuan coldly, "How about I teach you how to make this saltpeter into medicine when I have time?"

"it is good."

Ying Yuan took the saltpeter from Li Jin, and couldn't hide his joy.

"Brother Jin, you are so amazing that you even know this." Dongzi opened his eyes exaggeratedly, making no secret of his admiration for Li Jin.

Although Dashu knew that Li Jin didn't have that kind of meaning for Dongzi at all, seeing Dongzi's adoration that he had never shown/revealed to him, Dashu felt shamefully jealous.

Immediately, he subconsciously grabbed a certain plant on the side and said, "Dongzi, look at how weird its leaves are, they must be medicinal materials or something."

"..."

Hearing Dashu's words without any scruples, the corners of Dongzi's mouth twitched.

"Dashu, you did a good job." Li Jin couldn't help being stunned when he saw the thing in Dashu's hand, and then smiled, "With it, your trip is not in vain."

"Brother Jin, is this really medicinal material?"

After hearing this, Dashu couldn't help swallowing.

Dashu just said it casually just now, and he didn't know what the thing in his hand was useful for.

"No." Li Jin shook his head, "It's edible."

"Isn't it? Can this thing be eaten?"

The big tree opened its eyes exaggeratedly, and looked back and forth at the sickly plant in its hand, but except for the strange shape of the withered yellow leaves and the rather hard stalk, it didn't look like it could be eaten.

After all, Dashu was so curious that he gnawed on it directly, "Uh... this is too..." unpalatable.

Dashu was afraid that his words would make Li Jin unhappy, so he quickly swallowed what he hadn't finished.

Li Jin shook his head amusedly and said, "Dashu, you have to peel off the stems before eating."

"what?"

Dashu was stunned, not understanding what Li Jin would say.

"It's like this." Seeing that the big tree still couldn't understand, Li Jin simply pulled out a tree from the big tree, and then in front of the three of them, tore off the layer of skin that wrapped the stem, and then peeled off the stem. The peeled stalk was broken into two pieces, and one piece was handed to Dashu, and the other piece was given to Yingyuan, "Try it."

"Well, good." Dashu took the stalk Li Jin handed over in a slightly nervous mood, took a bite, and opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "Compared to just now, isn't it too bad?"

Ying Yuan chewed and said in surprise, "Very good."

Li Jin smiled and said, "The thing you eat is called sweet potato leaves. The tender part can be eaten directly, and the hard part needs to be peeled before eating."

"Big tree, give me some too."

Immediately, Dongzi followed Li Jin's method and peeled off a plant, put it in his mouth, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Li Jin saw that they seemed to be satisfied with the sweet potato leaves, so he reminded him coldly, "Dashu, if you continue digging to the place where you picked these sweet potato leaves just now, you may have unexpected harvest."

"Big tree, let me come."

Dongzi trusted Li Jin more than Dashu did, so as soon as Li Jin said this, Dongzi couldn't wait to do it.

"I'll help too." Dashu hurriedly stepped forward to help Dongzi dig.

Dongzi will be his daughter-in-law in the future, how can he just stand by and watch.

Not long after, Dongzi and Dongzi looked at Li Jin at the same time.

"Huh? Brother Jin, there seems to be something down there."

"I touched it too."

"Take it up and have a look." Li Jin smiled lightly, and signaled Dongzi and the others to bring up what was buried in the soil.

"Ah."

At the same time as the two responded, they took the things up forcefully.

With a sound of puff, the true colors of the things in the ground finally appeared in front of everyone.

"Red...red..." Dashu was stunned when he saw the sweet potato for the first time.

"The sweet potato leaves just now are more delicious when cooked, and this sweet potato, whether eaten raw or cooked, tastes very good."

Li Jin picked up one of the sweet potatoes that Dongzi threw to the ground just now, broke it apart and gave it to Dongzi and Dashu respectively, and said meaningfully, "Would you like to try it?"

The sweet potatoes that Dongzi and the others dug out were somewhat small due to the drought, and Li Jin grasped them immediately.

"Uh……"

"This……"

Dongzi and the others wanted to do what Li Jin said, but the color of the sweet potato was too weird, so they couldn't make up their minds.

Seeing that they dare not do anything, Ying Yuan looked at Li Jin and said, "Li Jin, give me some, I want to try it."

"Okay." Li Jin nodded, and gave Ying Yuan one side of the split sweet potato.

Before the sweet potato was split apart, Li Jin easily passed the soil attached to it.

Ying Yuan didn't even grumble, but just took a bite of the sweet potato.

Yingyuan said in surprise, "Sweet...sweet."

"sweet?"

Yingyuan's words undoubtedly aroused the gluttons in Dongzi's stomach. Before Li Jin continued to invite, he consciously learned Li Jin's method, cleaning up the soil on the sweet potato, and then broke the two halves to eat.

Really tasted the long-lost sweetness.

Li Jin asked suddenly, "Is it still delicious?"

Dongzi and Dashu said happily again, "It's delicious, it's delicious, I (I) have never eaten such a delicious thing."

In the Daxia Palace, sugar is very precious to the common people, and its value is no more than that of salt fields. However, only the most favored children in their families, they have the opportunity to eat so much sugar in a year. A dollar or two.

"Big tree, let's dig some more, Eminem will definitely like it."

"Okay, I'll help you."

"Big tree, don't you dig some back?"

"No." Dashu shook his head, "You also know what's going on with my house. If you take it back, not only will they take it all away, but if they see you have it, they will definitely make a big fuss saying it's all theirs and want to take yours. Take it too."

Dashu knew his family members very well, so instead of digging them back and taking them all away, it would be better to give them all to Dongzi.
