Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 643 Skill Competition

Unconsciously, Lin Che defuses an invisible storm with his erudition and demeanor.

He also made his academic reputation and family traditions widely praised among the people. His actions not only made Zhu Yuanzhang look at him with admiration, but also made the people of the Ming Dynasty have more confidence in the court than before.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news in the imperial study, he couldn't help but burst into laughter and praised the ministers in the palace: "Look, my imperial teacher is extraordinary. He can stabilize the country with his literary skills and suppress the four directions with his military skills."

The legend of the imperial teacher Lin Che once again added a glorious touch to the picture album of the Ming Dynasty, but he himself still maintained his indifferent and magnanimous nature, and did not let fame and power taint his hands of rhetoric and Taoism, and continued to protect the splendor of the Ming Dynasty.

On this quiet night, the streets of the capital were unusually quiet. In a secluded courtyard, the imperial teacher Lin Che was sitting alone at a stone table in the courtyard. The starlight and candlelight reflected on his deep face. A strange and mysterious blueprint was spread out on the table, and all kinds of medicinal materials and strange instruments were scattered around.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's instruction, Lin Che studied the art of weapons in depth. That night, he was about to complete a great invention that would change the military power and even the future of the Tang Dynasty - a small grenade that was easy to carry around.

Is this the legendary gunpowder technique? Lin Che muttered to himself.

His fingers gently touched the black powder scattered on the ground. At this time, his disciple Liu Yun walked over lightly. She had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and wore a simple Taoist robe. She was full of curiosity and awe for her master's research. Liu Yun asked softly: "Master, is this the legendary secret weapon that can split rocks and break gold, but is also as small as a child? Can it really change the situation of the battle?"

Liu Yun's words were full of trust in his master.

At the same time, he also revealed his awe for the new object. Lin Che nodded slightly, his voice full of confidence and calmness, as if everything was under his control. This thing was called a thunder bomb. It was small in size but powerful. It could defeat the enemy invisibly. It was a successful example of the combination of science and technology and Taoism of our Ming Dynasty. It could not only improve our military strength, but it was also a symbol of technological progress.

After hearing this, Liu Yun was deeply shocked. She subconsciously put her hands on her chest and bowed to show her respect: "Master is wise. If this matter gets out, it will surely terrify all enemies."

Lin Che smiled slightly. He took out a hand grenade that he had already made and turned it around to ponder over it. “Although this thing is good, if it is not used properly and carelessly, it can also kill people. The next task is to develop a safe usage mechanism, ensure that our Ming soldiers can carry it safely, and deliver a fatal blow at the right time.”

Liu Yun nodded silently, with a look of admiration in his eyes. At this moment, the wooden door of the study room opened gently, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally came to the courtyard where Lin Che was practicing. Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a dragon robe, and his expression was full of respect and expectation for Lin Che. He looked around and saw the thunder bomb in Lin Che's hand, and he showed a satisfied smile.

“Lin Che, your research is simply amazing.” Zhu Yuanzhang’s voice was serious but friendly, revealing his appreciation and trust for the imperial teacher.

Lin Che stood up slightly and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is my honor to contribute to the border defense of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, signaling Lin Che that there was no need for further formalities. "This thunder bomb is a powerful weapon in the army. Have you thought about how to pass it on to our Ming soldiers?"

Lin Che nodded, still calm and composed. “Your Majesty, although this weapon is powerful, it will take time to master its use. I will personally compile the “Thunder Bomb User Manual” and select soldiers who are proficient in gunpowder to conduct special training.”

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was pleased: "Okay, I have prepared manpower for you, just waiting for your orders. I hope that this thing can be used to equip the entire army as soon as possible, and it can defeat powerful enemies in the world." Ling Chi saluted again, and Zhu Yuanzhang turned and left, leaving Lin Che and Liu Yun alone under the bright moonlight to continue their research and practice.

Lin Che knew that this was just the beginning. Although relying on thunder bombs could temporarily enhance military strength and frighten the enemy, true victory still required both command and strength. So he closed his eyes again and continued his meditation and research, supporting the wisdom and strength of the Ming Dynasty as always.

The capital city is full of autumn colors, and trees are rustling. It is a night of lantern viewing. Inside the Forbidden City, the autumn wind blows across the palace square. A few lonely lights are extinguished, as if one can glimpse the ups and downs in the court. At this moment, Lin Che, the imperial preceptor of the Ming Dynasty, is meditating under the white jade pavilion. The emperor's praise is just a passing cloud to him, but to others, it is as fascinating as the sun, moon and stars. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang has always valued the skills of craftsmen and regarded them as the treasure of the country. The most famous craftsman in the court has always been as dazzling as Xin, until Lin Che appeared, his brilliance seemed to dim a lot, "Imperial preceptor." A soft call broke Lin Che's meditation.

He looked up and saw a burly middle-aged craftsman approaching. He had a friendly face but a hint of unhappiness that he could not conceal.

Craftsman Chai Jing has superb skills, but she becomes jealous because she competes with Lin Che for the emperor's praise.

“Chai Jing, you’re just in time.” Lin Che’s voice was calm, like a cloud in the sky, leisurely and comfortable.

“I admire the noble character of the Imperial Master, but when it comes to skills, there has to be a ranking.” Chai Jing said bluntly, with a challenge to Lin Che hidden in her eyes.

"The capital is about to hold a craft competition. Cai once again respectfully invites the national master to come and decide the outcome." There was a hint of provocation and confidence in his tone.

Lin Che smiled slightly, without a trace of worldly dust in this smile, "The way of craftsmanship is actually a national treasure, how can it be treated as a joke? Since Chai Jing has sincerely invited me, I will certainly live up to her kindness."

The day of the competition arrived as scheduled, and the eyes of the entire capital were focused on this craft competition hosted by the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, examining each piece of gorgeous handicraft with great interest.

“Master, I am looking forward to your masterpiece in this competition.” Zhu Yuanzhang said to Lin Che.

Lin Che did not answer immediately, but just glanced at his work. Chai Jing had carefully prepared the work for a long time, an exquisite wooden screen with a lifelike picture, as if it perfectly presented the scene of the emperor hunting in front of everyone. When it was Lin Che's turn to unveil his work, everyone's eyes were fixed on the untied figure, but when Lin Che gently uncovered it, what appeared was a peculiar model of farm tools.

"Imperial Master, what are you doing?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some confusion.

“Your Majesty, this is a new model of a vehicle. During the dry season, it can improve water efficiency and benefit the people’s farming.” Lin Che’s voice was elegant and calm.
