I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 156 Gunpowder, clarinets, projectile beads

Meng Yi is confident that only a very small number of people in the court know about news such as the change of owner of the Xiongnu Shanyu.

And this very small number of people does not include Li Yu, otherwise Meng Yi would not have to run to the Xianjun Hou Mansion.

But now it seems that Li Yu has known about this for a long time...

Could it be that the eldest brother told him?
Thinking of this, Meng Yi felt that it was impossible. The eldest brother had never visited the Junhou Mansion before, and now he was already on his way back to Shangjun.

Seeing Meng Yi's surprised expression, Li Yu couldn't help but shook his head and explained: "Master Meng is wondering, where did the Marquis get the news from?"

Meng Yi nodded immediately, and said, "Please ask Junhou to clarify."

Li Yu looked at Meng Yi and said with a smile: "No one else, guess."

……

When Meng Yi heard the words, he almost choked on his saliva.

"Ahem, if you guessed it, then you know what the Huns intend to do this summer?"

Seeing Meng Yi's eagerness to find out, and asking like a curious baby, Li Yu grinned and said: "Either he is fighting the Yuezhi Kingdom, or he is on his way to fight the Yuezhi Kingdom."

After finishing speaking, Meng Yi seemed to have seen a ghost, and said with horror on his face: "Your Majesty is really a god, Meng Yi is convinced."

Li Yu couldn't help laughing, his memorization of history is not bad, so he didn't care about the surprised expressions of everyone, and said to himself: "It's actually not difficult to guess, as early as when Benhou was still on the southern line, Benhou had already Knowing the situation in the northern grasslands must be like this."

Meng Yi originally wanted to use this information as a benefit to ask Li Yu to do something, but Li Yu had already guessed it.

Meng Yi was stunned, and had to sigh: "Daqin has a prince alone, as His Majesty said at the beginning, it can be worth a million troops."

It was only after this statement that Meng Yi really understood why the first emperor Yingzheng did what he wanted and insisted on using rewards to retain Li Yu.

It turned out that the first emperor had already expected that this son was unusual!
When other people heard the phrase "can be worth a million heroes", their expressions were wonderful, and only Li Yufang was lucky enough to appreciate it.

After seeing everyone's astonishment, they looked slightly relieved.

Li Yu knew that Ying Zheng's painstaking efforts had been properly understood, and he immediately replied, "Your Excellency Meng is overrated. In terms of the current transformation of Great Qin, the Huns are not to be feared."

"What's more, the north is guarded by General Meng. Even if the Huns conquer the Yuezhi Kingdom and unify the prairie, our Great Qin will not be afraid of him."

When Li Yu talked about Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi couldn't help flashing a hint of arrogance on his face, and said: "It is precisely because the eldest brother has guarded the Great Wall for many years that Meng Yi wants to fulfill his long-cherished wish. I hope to join hands with the eldest brother in my lifetime to strengthen our country's prestige and kill the Xiongnu."

"Master Meng's remarks really make people's blood boil." Zhao Lai couldn't help shaking his head and sighed.

And hearing Meng Yi, who has always been known as an insider, utter such passionate words, Li Yu couldn't help being shocked.

Then he raised his wine glass and drank, "You should drink this glass to your heart's content just by killing the Xiongnu with this sentence from Master Meng."

……

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Li Yu just remembered what he told Feng Yansheng earlier, and asked, "Old Feng, how is the research on black powder going?"

Feng Yansheng was taken aback immediately. In his opinion, the black powder was a rare and secret item, but he didn't expect Li Yu to tell it in front of everyone.

Could it be that Master Hou was drunk?
Drinking gaffes?

Feng Yansheng quickly looked at Li Yu, and seeing Li Yu nod his head, he didn't seem to be drunk, so he just said, "Reporting to Lord Marquis, the black powder has been developed with a matching ratio. The projectile beads and clarinet tubes used for filling have also been developed. , just wait for Master Hou to send a message to accept it."

Although Li Yu had a good capacity for alcohol, he was still a little drunk, and heard Feng Yansheng make all the things he wanted.

A blush flashed across Li Yu's face, and he laughed loudly: "As soon as this thing comes out, Your Majesty will be safe."

Feng Yansheng participated in the whole process of research and development, but he didn't think about the connection between clarinet, pellets and black powder.

Therefore, Feng Yansheng didn't know the magical function of the thing Li Yu asked him to develop. The only thing he could be sure of was that the clarinet and the projectile beads had the same function as a crossbow.

The conversation between Li Yu and Li Yu naturally attracted the attention of other people, even though most of them were already asleep on the table.

"Black powder? What's that?"

As the oldest Chen Boyan, he was able to clear his mind and ask, presumably not drunk yet, which surprised Li Yu a lot.

Although the distilled wine has been diluted a lot, its alcohol content is still not low. It is really surprising that Chen Boyan has survived until now.

Perhaps Chen Boyan's physique is different from ordinary people.

This is what Li Yu thought in his heart. After all, like Zhao She and Zhao Lai who had already passed out drunk at the table, that was the normal state of normal people.

Since Chen Boyan asked, Li Yu naturally didn't intend to hide anything, and immediately explained: "Master Chen can be understood as a kind of medicinal powder that can be burned."

Although I don't know exactly what Li Yu developed the flammable powder for, but looking back on the past, Chen Boyan believes that Li Yu's product must be a high-quality product.

Chen Boyan nodded immediately, and asked again: "I don't know what you plan to use when you develop this thing?"

Li Yu grinned and said, "Of course it's in the army."

"Used in the army... It is difficult for soldiers in the north to get fire. Could it be that the lord wants to use it for the soldiers in the north to keep warm?"

……

As soon as these words came out, Li Yu was shocked from ear to ear.

It is really whimsical to use black powder to keep warm.

Why don't you use black gunpowder to cook in a pot...

But because black powder was used by him hundreds of years in advance, Li Yusui said patiently: "You can understand it as a new type of weapon, similar to a crossbow."

Speaking of this, Feng Yansheng immediately became interested, after all these things were all made by him.

If he doesn't figure out how to play it, Feng Yansheng might not be able to sleep tonight.

"Master Hou, why don't you try now?"

Li Yu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Feng Yansheng in surprise and said, "Could it be that you brought everything, Old Feng?"

Feng Yansheng chuckled, and said: "That's natural. Didn't Master Hou say that those things can't touch water and sparks, and they don't feel at ease when they are put in the workshop."

Li Yu immediately got up and approached, patted Feng Yansheng and said, "Old Feng, you are reliable in your work, walk around and give it a try."

Seeing Li Yu and Feng Yansheng got up one after another, Chen Boyan glanced at Zhao Lai and Zhao She who were sleeping soundly on the table, and then asked, "What about Lang Zhongling and Weiwei Master Zhao?"

Li Yu waved his hand and said: "I have ordered someone to deliver a letter to his house, and someone will pick it up after a while."

"What's more, my Junhou Mansion doesn't eat people, so I can't lose it."

Chen Boyan knew that he was talking too much, so he smiled and said, "It's a pity that His Royal Highness Fusu left early, otherwise he would definitely be able to feast his eyes on me."

Li Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "Fu Su has just become the crown prince, so naturally he can't hang out with us for too long, let alone Meng Yi is present, let alone stay here for a long time."

After finishing speaking, Li Yu made another gesture of invitation and said, "Please, Mr. Chen."
