I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 244 The Empress' Amazement

In fact, officials are not allowed to enter the harem at any time, even if they are powerful or have status.

There are very few eunuchs in the harem, and most of them are managed by female officials.

It's not that Li Tian doesn't understand this truth, but he is really happy today.

Relying on the new firecrackers to subdue several honorable generals, he will sleep a lot more peacefully in the future.

At this time, there are rumors that it can help him earn a lot of money and cultivate a new class of weapons. Matches and soap have also been made, so how can he not be excited.

In addition, he wanted to share this joy with her in front of the queen, and it was understandable that he called Zhou Zhen directly to the harem.

Empress Zhang heard that Li Tian was going to summon foreign ministers, so she got up quickly and planned to leave.

Li Tian grabbed her and said to her with a smile,

"Ling'er, don't leave, I have a few good things for you to see!"

Empress Zhang was a little puzzled. As the master of the harem, there was nothing in this world except the dragon chair under Li Tian's butt.

It can be said that she wants what she wants, and there is almost nothing she can't get.

What good things are there in this world that she has never seen or enjoyed?
It's just that Li Tian has been able to come up with some unexpected things recently, such as playing cards.

Hearing what Li Tian said, she was really curious.

So, she sat down next to Li Tian with peace of mind.

Not long after, Zhou Zhen hurried over.

He also knew that as a foreign minister, no matter what the reason was, coming to the harem was an arrogance.

Although he was very excited and excited, he was very cautious at the moment.

The combination of the two emotions made him look very funny.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am fortunate that I did not disgrace my life. I have created both of those things, and I have also found the specific formula!"

As he spoke, he handed over two brocade boxes and two recipes respectfully.

Li Tian didn't care about the formula for the time being, and directly took the two brocade boxes over, and opened the things in front of the queen.

At the same time, the two saw dozens of matches about two inches long lying quietly inside the brocade box, and soap about one inch thick about the size of a palm.

Li Tian didn't react too much, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

"These guys finally lived up to their expectations. The things they produced are quite decent, and the difference from the things they saw in the previous life is not too big."

At this time, the queen was in a daze, not quite understanding what these two things were for, and curiously poked them twice with her slender fingers.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Seeing her curious baby's appearance, Li Tian couldn't help but explained to him while operating.

"As for this thing, I plan to call him 'self-fire' for the time being!"

As he spoke, he lightly stroked a rough phosphor plate on the side of the brocade box.

With a bang, a cluster of golden flames burst out suddenly.

The sudden flame made the queen jump, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and exclaiming, "Ah!"

Li Tian wrapped one hand around her slender waist, and slowly handed the quietly burning match to the queen.

"Don't be afraid, Linger, this thing is not dangerous."

After being appeased by him, the queen really got better.

Seeing that the match was burning quietly, as if there was really no danger, he took the match from Li Tian curiously.

A pair of black and beautiful eyes, as if wanting to merge into the flame, stared intently at the flame.

But she looked at it for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out how this thing came into flames.

"Your Majesty, what is this thing? Why did it burst into flames!"

Li Tian smiled and said,
"Ling'er, you don't need to understand the specific principles. You just need to know that with this little thing in the future, you won't need anything like the fire sickle."

As the flame on the match in the queen's hand gradually extinguished, Li Tian handed her a new match.

"Ling'er also try, just like I did just now."

When a modern person sees a match for the first time, he can't help but draw a few to play with, let alone the ancients who saw this kind of thing for the first time.

Although the queen was very scared, she still couldn't restrain her inner curiosity.

With trembling hands, following Li Tian's example, he stroked the phosphorus plate lightly several times.

Maybe I didn't dare to use too much force, so I tried several times without success.

Li Tian was very patient and taught her, "Take your time, don't rush, the trick of this thing is to be quick, fast..."

The queen's face turned red slightly. According to what Li Tian said, she used a little force, but this time it really succeeded.

There was a light stabbing sound.

A cluster of bright flames was born from her hands.

This novel process made her couldn't help but cheer again.

"It has appeared, Your Majesty, it has indeed appeared."

Queen Zhang, born in an aristocratic family, was taught poetry, etiquette, three obediences and four virtues since she was a child, but she never really lit a fire and cooked food.

It was impossible not to be excited when I saw such a miraculous thing for the first time.

Seeing Li Tian and the queen having so much fun, Zhou Zhen stood quietly aside without saying a word.

After playing for a while, after lighting five or six matches successively, the queen's nature finally eased a little.

Seeing that there were less than half of the matches left in the brocade box, she said with a bit of embarrassment,
"Your Majesty, the concubine is being naughty and wasting so much."

She didn't know the specific origin of this thing at this time, and thought it was a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from Fanbang or a certain state capital.

Li Tian laughed,
"Ling'er, don't worry, this thing was developed by the people of the Tiangong Institute. Don't say that you just lighted a few, even if you want a carriage, I can get it for you."

"Ah, this thing is actually made by Tiangongyuan. Why have I never heard of it? There are such strange things in the world."

Zhou Zhen spoke at the right time,

"This thing was developed by His Majesty's order, and it is all thanks to His Majesty's ingenious conception that I can have the opportunity to see such a strange thing!"

The queen opened her small mouth slightly, and said in disbelief,
"Ah, this thing was actually invented by His Majesty, this concubine is really...really..."

She originally wanted to say that she was cast down, but when she thought about her identity, it seemed inappropriate to say such a thing in front of outsiders, so she got stuck for a while.

His little face flushed from holding back, not to mention how attractive it was.

Li Tian smiled and pulled her softly,
"A mere small object is nothing to worry about. Although I have my own ideas, if it is not for the unremitting efforts of the people of Tiangongyuan, I don't know how long it will be before this object is born."

The queen showed a smile, "This thing is beneficial to the country and the people, whether it is marching and fighting, or living at home, it is of great use.

The merit is comparable to the three emperors, and the concubines thank His Majesty on behalf of the people of the world. "
