I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

At this time, Du Yi, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, knocked on the door and walked in, bowing to him.

Lin Xuan got up and returned the gift.

"Lord Du!"

"Hahaha, Master Lin, are you also looking at this bamboo paper? This is all thanks to Master Lin!"

Du Yi saluted Lin Xuan again, which was to express his gratitude to Lin Xuan as a scholar.

Lin Xuan accepted it.

Otherwise, it would be a little embarrassing to see Dr. Nong like last time, and return gifts to each other for an unknown number of cycles.

"I don't have much credit, but these craftsmen are really good. It's surprising that they can make such good bamboo paper in such a short period of time."

"Oh, these bamboo papers are all brought from Shuzhou, and it is said that the king of Shu personally supervised the making."

Du Yi explained with a smile, holding the bamboo paper in his hand, don't mention how happy he is, as if he has seen that the bamboo paper will never be used up in the future.

Such a smile is probably as happy as a primary school student before time travel who received a new book at the beginning of school.

Lin Xuan nodded: "I didn't expect that the king of Shu would personally supervise the construction. The king of Shu is amazing."

"That's right!" Du Yi remembered the business, "The mission of the State of Chu couldn't stand it any longer, and is planning to go back tomorrow. Master Luo asked us to take a look."

"take a look?"

Lin Xuan put down the bamboo paper in his hand and asked again.

"Yes, just take a look." Du Yi said emphatically, "Master Lin, don't be late."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Du, for letting me know."

It stands to reason that when a country's mission leaves, it needs to be sent off out of courtesy.

However, Honglu Temple Minister Luo Wenlun emphasized that it is very interesting to go and have a look instead of giving it away.

But thinking about it, the Chu State sent a mission to Tiandu, whimsically wanting to get back the lost state.

Fighting is very good, but the real combat power may not be comparable to that of Wei Guo, let alone the threat.

What's even more ridiculous is that the envoys from the state of Chu came to Honglu Temple with their swords in their hands just to do something big, clearly wanting to provoke a war between the two countries.

Want to see it tomorrow?

Then go and have a look.

Lin Xuan sat down and began to deal with the bamboo slips in front of him.

Most of these are trivial matters, so Lin Xuan handled them very quickly, and completed them all in less than an hour and a half.

If these bamboo slips were all written on paper, they could probably be processed faster.

In addition, there are some documents here, and the content is a bit nonsense.

For example: "Le Xianbo, thank you for making paper for us. How are you eating? How are you drinking? Are you in good health?"

Hello sister...

For example: "Le Xianbo, I have a little sister who is only 9 years old..."

Ah, here's someone who wants to give away my sister.

Another example: "Uncle Le Xian, I have a sister who is graceful, elegant and glamorous..."

This is a gift for my sister.

……

Seeing such documents, Lin Xuan was really dumbfounded, no wonder he had so many bamboo slips to review.

However, Lin Xuan smiled again. Such changes all started when Empress Ji Handan pardoned the remnants of the former nobles in Yongle Lane.

Because, the time on these bamboo slips was written to him roughly after receiving the imperial decree to announce to the world.

Otherwise, the probability would be the same as before, when he came to Honglu Temple, most people regarded him as air.

After all, no one wants to have the identity of the remnants of the nobles of the former dynasty, so as not to incur a murderous disaster.

It's different now, the empress has issued an imperial decree, and people like Lin Xuan are all people of great cadres, and they are no longer survivors of the previous dynasty. In addition, Lin Xuan is only 17 years old, so he should have started a family long ago.

In addition, it was Lin Xuan who bought a pretty nine-year-old girl, Luo Li, from the West Market of Tiandu, and raised it at home like a little master, and I don't know when it was passed on.

Considering that it is still difficult to go to Yongle Lane in daily life, I simply asked Lin Xuan by sending bamboo slips to Honglu Temple.

"It's really hard to explain!"

Chapter 67 This is a nail rake, don't you guys? 5K

After finishing the paperwork on the bamboo slips, I informed Chen Shang, the chief bookkeeper, and Lin Xuan stretched himself, ready to go home from get off work.

Going back at this point, I arrived home around 12:[-] noon, just caught a fish from the fishing net, made a lunch, went to bed and fished in the afternoon.

Just before going out, Lin Xuan saw Song Jue, envoy of Chu State.

His face was pale, and he was carried on the wicker chair. When he saw Lin Xuan coming out, he bowed his hands weakly to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan didn't say much, returned a salute, and left.

"My lord, it was Lin Xuan, the Prime Minister of Honghe Temple just now."

A waiter came over and whispered.

"Cough cough..."

Song Jue looked at Lin Xuan's back, coughed a few times, then looked at Lin Xuan's leaving back, waved his hand, and ordered someone to report to Dagan Honglu Temple.

……

"My lord, just now a person from the state of Chu asked me for news about you."

Old Xu pulled out the carriage and said to Lin Xuan.

"Oh, what do you say?"

Lin Xuan sat in the carriage and asked with a smile.

"I said I'm from the state of Wei, and I couldn't understand what he said." Old Xu said cheerfully, "Then the person from the state of Chu got upset and turned around and left."

"..."

What kind of cold joke is this, Lin Xuan is a little speechless.

However, Lin Xuan can probably guess some of it. The Wei State Mission has been negotiating all day long. But he achieved nothing, and even almost became the laughing stock of the whole world.

The Chu people who came to inquire about the news saw that Lao Xu was from the Wei country, and they lost their proud face in an instant, so they turned around and left.

Such a scene is probably only when the French meet the Italians.

"Go to Tiandu West Market first."

"Okay, sir!"

Old Xu drove the carriage to Tiandu West City in a steady manner.

Because of the hot weather, Lin Xuan was going to ask the lady proprietress of the blacksmith shop if she had any saltpeter, and if she had any, she would buy some and take it home to make some ice cubes to cool off the heat.

No way, the weather is too hot.

His place is not like a royal palace or a wealthy family. There is a refrigerator or something at home.

However, as long as there is saltpeter, it will do.

"My lord, I have never heard of such a thing as saltpeter."

Arriving at the blacksmith shop, the proprietress replied like this.

Lin Xuan blinked his eyes and took a deep breath. He really didn't expect this to happen.

"My lord, why don't you tell me what this saltpeter is. Next time, I'll ask someone. If I find it, I can help you collect some."

The blacksmith's wife replied.

During this period of time, relying on the casting drawings presented by Lin Xuan, her casting skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and her business has been booming, even receiving part of the military's business.

Therefore, the proprietress is very grateful to Lin Xuan.

If possible, I hope Lin Xuan can give her some casting drawings to help her cast. It's absolutely free!

"Alright!"

Lin Xuan thought for a while, and described the characteristics of saltpeter.

Remembering that there was still bamboo paper on the carriage, he simply drew another picture, marked the characteristics of saltpeter and handed it to the proprietress, and then left.

Regarding the mineral deposits, Lin Xuan of the saltpeter mine only remembered a few game maps at that time, but they were all very far away from the sky. The rest of the iron mines, copper mines, silver mines, and gold mines were roughly remembered.

However, the ore performance in the game is that you can see the ore protruding on the map when you walk over it, and you can collect it with a mining pick.

But this is the real world. The ores are basically the same as in reality. They are all buried in the soil, mixed in the rocks, and need to be mined.

As for the exact location where those ores were refreshed, compared to reality, Lin Xuan couldn't be sure which mountain it was.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

Without saltpeter, there would be no ice. This extremely hot summer is not easy!

……

Half an hour later, Lin Xuan returned to the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw two visitors who "respected each other as guests" sitting under the grape arbor.

One is Uncle Fu, who is in his 80s and [-]s, with white hair, who came to seek medical advice. It is really worrying to rush to him on such a hot day.

The other is Dr. Li Zhongnong who came last time.

He held a roll of paper in his hand, and there was no doubt that there must be countless questions on it.

"Le Xianbo, don't take the liberty of interrupting me!"

When Uncle Fu and Li Zhongnong saw Lin Xuan's return, they quickly stood up and saluted.

"I'm the one who lost my way, I'm sorry!"
