Chapter 192 I Don’t Cry After Being Shown Off

On the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month, as the day of the skating competition was approaching, a group of people were training on the ice.

There are not many children here, and the people skating are no longer the rich and wealthy people at the beginning.

They practice so hard on their own that they find servants at home or hired help to practice on their own and rely on them to compete.

Li Chengqi got up before dawn and went around to see the security situation at various locations, and then went for a walk in the workshop.

When the sky dawned, Li Dan and Concubine Doulu were served by Xishu.

Li Yi started today's inspection project during the day. Li Dan still accompanied his wife inside and looked around curiously.

"Where's Li Yi? I'm looking for Li Yi." Yao Chong finished cleaning up two quarters of an hour late and ran to Li Yi's big yard. When he saw Li Chengqi moving a chair and sitting at the door, he asked aloud.

"What do you want to do to examine the imperial concubine?" Li Chengqi did not intend to step aside or stand up.

"When will things get better?" Yao Chong looked anxious.

"Why don't you go eat first, Mr. Yao? If you have a bad gastrointestinal tract, drink porridge. If your gastrointestinal tract is good, drink milk. Brother Yi said that milk is more nutritious than porridge, but milk can irritate some people's stomachs."

Li Chengqi had no intention of eating, he wanted to keep watch.

Yao Chong looked around and showed a proud smile: "King Song, do you know what the way to employ people is?"

"Scheming against others?" Li Chengqi looked at Yao Chong and gave a mocking answer.

Yao Chong took a deep breath and recovered immediately.

"King Song, the skills of hundreds of craftsmen should be combined with the power of hundreds of craftsmen. Li Yi may have a few strange skills and ingenuity, but how much can one person do?"

Yao Chong said as he took something out of his sleeve pocket.

Li Chengqi yawned: "If you do something to facilitate the people, the Confucian method learned by Prime Minister Yao cannot tolerate the slightest Mohist method?"

"I came here to let Li Yi know that there are countless talented people in the world, and don't always be complacent with small skills."

Yao Chong took out something again. The previous one was a paper box the size of half a bar of soap, but this time he took out a lighter.

He squatted down and put the cardboard box on the ground, opened the lid, and took out a roll of velvet paper, something used to light a fire with a fire sickle.

Then the lighter's cap popped open with a clang.

‘Bang’ Li Chengqi jumped up from his chair and rushed forward, kicking the cardboard box away.

He said angrily: "You dare to assassinate Mr. Yao?"

Yao Chong was stunned, looked at the alcohol lighter in his hand, and then looked at the cardboard box that had been kicked away: "King Song, are you plotting against me?"

"What do you want? After lighting it up... boom!" Li Chengqi stared at Yao Chong and asked.

"The King of Song was really clever, and he recruited hundreds of workers to think of new things. Someone used saltpeter, sulfur, sawdust powder, and honey to make something that could see sparks and explode mud and rocks.

Only sparks can be seen in the cardboard box just now. If it is lit at night, you can see the real fireworks. Rich people will definitely be willing to buy it.

One that can be exploded and can break open mud and rocks. If there are large quantities, it should be used in marching and fighting. How does it compare to Li Yi? "

Yao Chong introduced what he had brought and told him the recipe.

Li Chengqi looked at Yao Chong carefully, stared at it, and after more than ten breaths, he pulled Yao Chong, picked up the kicked away cardboard box, and walked forward.

Go to the second small square in Zhuangzi and put Yao Chong's cardboard box on the ground to take a look.

"Yao Xiang, step back. God knows if this will make a noise. I'll do it." Li Chengqi motioned to Yao Chong to step back, and then step back.

Yao Chong slowly stepped away and put his hands in his sleeves to watch.

Li Chengqi took out his pockets. His clothes had several pockets.

He took out his lighter, squatted down, and assumed a posture ready to jump out at any time, stretched out his hand, lit a fire, and ran.

The tinder burns quickly and goes in with a swish.

Then a puff of smoke and sparks came out of the paper box, and it was gone, less than a breath away.

Yao Chong took out another paper box: "Song King ordered this."

Li Chengqi looked at the size of the cardboard box, nodded, put it farther out, lit it, and ran.

‘Bang~’ The noise was louder this time, but the smoke was still so thick.

"When this thing gets bigger, it can scare horses and blow up people." Yao Chong raised his chin slightly, signaling Li Chengqi to praise him quickly.

Li Chengqi looked at Yao Chong again, looked at it for a few breaths, and said: "There is a good person who can make this thing. He can be recruited by Zhuangzi to learn from my brother Yi."

"Learn? Did Li Yi learn from others?" Yao Chong expressed disdain.

"Alas!" Li Chengqi shook his head, took out his pocket, and took out something about an inch thick and a span long.

There was a linen cover on the outside. He took it off and then tore off the paper at the bottom.

Tear it open to reveal a section of thread.

He looked around and carefully placed the object upright on the ground, shaking it to make sure it wouldn't fall over.

Then he took a deep breath, squatted down, lit the lighter, and moved closer to the line little by little.

As soon as it was lit, he jumped out, covered his ears and shut up.

Yao Chong didn't understand and was stunned. He thought to himself that this is Daxiang? Point from below?

‘Bang~~’ There was a loud noise, and the things placed on the ground flew into the sky. Yao Chong’s eyes flashed, and he raised his head.

'Boom~~' There was another sound, and Yao Chong's body trembled violently, his ears buzzing.

After a while, confetti fell from the sky, and Yao Chong was still in a state of confusion.

"Prime Minister Yao, Prime Minister Yao, wake up, you're back to life." Li Chengqi came over and held back his smile to greet Yao Chong.

"What...this...is this?" Yao Chong opened his mouth twice, pressed his ears, and asked with lingering fear.

"My brother Yi also wants to sell the kicks made by my brother Yi. How does Yao Xiang think they compare with what you brought?" Li Chengqi smiled.

At this time, a group of children ran over. The first one of Yao Chong just rang. When the children heard it, they thought someone started playing with the cannon.

When I went to the place, I saw scraps of paper scattered on the ground. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I saw Li Chengqi again, and the children turned around and ran away again.

Yao Chong's expression changed, sometimes he pursed his lips, sometimes he frowned.

"This, this thing is too dangerous, it should be handed over to the imperial court." Yao Chong suppressed a sentence.

Li Chengqi took out his pocket and took out the same thing again. Yao Chong was excited: "King Song, you, you want to kill the minister?"

"Isn't it Yao Xiang? Here, let's play with it." Li Chengqi handed it to Yao Chong.

Yao Chong ducked back: "Don't, be careful of explosions. The things I took were blown up when they were making them. They hit them with heavy objects. If you drop them on the ground..."

"It turns out that I didn't pay attention to production safety. That's it. You still want Brother Yi to tell the court which workshop to blow up?" Li Chengqi chuckled twice.

The children ran over again, holding trowels and brooms, and carefully cleaned up the paper scraps in the small square.

Yao and Chong didn't speak, just watching.

After the children finished sweeping, they took out their pockets and took out the throwing cannon, bang! Snapped! Fall up.

"What is it again?" Yao Chong asked naturally.

"Di Yi was afraid that his children would get hurt playing with the things I ordered, so he specially made a small thing that won't hurt people. It's called throwing a cannon." Li Chengqi introduced patiently.

"There are still political matters in the court, I will take the first step." Yao Chong turned around and prepared to call people back.

He was just here to show off, and he couldn't help it, someone made something awesome.

As a result, before he could show off to the master, he was shown off by King Song, and his ears are still ringing.

"Why don't Prime Minister Yao have breakfast? If there is any political matter that is difficult to decide, why not ask my brother Yi." Li Chengqi continued his verbal attack.

You are not good at making things, but you are still not good at handling political affairs.

"Eat." Yao Chong hesitated and decided not to leave hungry.
