Chapter 278
Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wudi of Han used to be keen on alchemy, so there were many people who refined pills among the people, called Fangshi.
Historians generally believe that gunpowder was discovered by chance by alchemists, around the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, or earlier. Because the so-called elixirs are very mysterious, these people like to keep secrets.
Liu Jun found from the methods of those alchemists that they were indeed mixing sulfur, saltpeter, carbon, etc., and called the powders they grinded into elixirs. Because these pills are easy to catch fire, they are also called fire medicines, and the name of gunpowder probably comes from here.
To make gunpowder, the key is the proportion of these elements, and Liu Jun gave them some advice, trying to make these burning drugs emit dazzling light and loud noise. Because in the Tang Dynasty, fireworks had already appeared, and black powder was also used when opening mountains and building roads.
From the time of Emperor Wudi of Han to the Tang Dynasty, it took more than eight hundred years, not because of how difficult it was to invent gunpowder, but because the goal of alchemists was to refine the elixir of immortality, so they did not invent gunpowder prematurely.
After Liu Jian pointed out like this, he believed that it would not take long for them to finish.
After all the engineering departments outside Xiangyang City moved to Luoyang, Liu Cong finally stopped his drunken life and "inspected" various departments one by one.
Winemaking, weapons making, agricultural tool making, paper printing, alchemy, etc., these are his lifeblood!
The craftsmen were all excited when they saw Liu Jun coming, and the masters in charge of each department introduced their new products in detail, so when Liu Jun finished his "inspection", it was already dark.
I was thinking about where to go at night when a maid came in.
"Sir, my young lady invites you to come over..."
Liu Jun looked at it, feeling that this maid was a little angry, "Who is your young lady?"
"
Little Qiao?" During this time, Liu Jun almost forgot Xiao Qiao, although Da Qiao persuaded him several times, the knot in Xiao Qiao's heart seemed to have been untied, and he often burst into tears. After all, Liu Jun has the thoughts of modern people and is not willing to force it, not to mention that there is no shortage of beautiful women around him.
Today Xiao Qiao asked the maid to invite him, Liu Qiao still felt a little strange, but he understood that Xiao Qiao should have figured it out.
So Liu Jun followed the maid to Xiao Qiao's room.
"See the husband... Husband..." Little Joe's voice was as small as a mosquito.
"You finally called me husband!" Liu Jun looked at it with a smile, only to see that Xiao Qiao's face was slightly red, and the corners of his eyes were still a little teary, a little shy, a little sad. "Don't you still want to?" Liu
Jun was a little angry in his heart, he was patient enough with Xiao Qiao. Today is obviously Xiao Qiao called himself to come, why is it still like this?
"The husband forgives sins, I am willing, but I don't know why, I always shed tears..." Xiao Qiao was anxious, and his tears became even more.
Liu Jun looked at Xiao Qiao Yu hitting the pear blossom, aggrieved and shy, and suddenly remembered a poem.
"Yongxiang complains every year, and he thinks about the turmoil all day long. The Xiangjiang River has infinite traces on the bamboo, and how many people are sprinkled in front of Mount Danang? Chao Lai Bashui Bridge asked, did not arrive at the green robe to send Yuke. This
is "Tears" written by Li Shangyin, and the whole poem uses six allusions, each of which has a sad story, including the Russian queen and daughter, and each allusion is before this era.
Xiao Qiao looked at Liu Qiao in a daze, these allusions are clear to her, and they are very familiar, but how difficult it is to string them all together with a poem? However, Liu Qiao did it, and the string was so natural, "Sister is right, in front of the husband, there is no talent!" "
Xiao Qiao, do you have more tears than them?" Liu Qiao took out the jinpa and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Xiao Qiao's eyes.
"Husband, Xiao Qiao's tears have all flowed today, and I won't cry anymore..." Xiao Qiao's face finally showed a smile, although it was just a smile, but it could be seen that he was very happy.
"There are many sad things in life, especially in troubled times, Cao Mengde has poetry clouds, white bones are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, the people are left behind, and the thoughts are cut off. Being able to live should be the greatest happiness, so one cannot live in the sorrows of the past.
"Little Qiao understood..."
"Today I have been busy in the Ministry of Works for a day, and I have sweated a lot, so take a bath here!" "
No!" Xiao
Qiao immediately ordered the maid and the subordinate to take the bathtub, mix it with water, sprinkle flower petals in the water, and then test the water.
"Husband, let Little Joe change your clothes.
Liu Jun stretched out his arms, and Xiao Qiao gently untied his clothes and removed Liu Jun's clothes.
Little Joe hesitated, removed his clothes, and then the two entered the bathtub.
Liu Jun leaned on the edge of the bathtub, and Xiao Qiao snuggled into Liu Jun's arms, shyly closing his eyes slightly.
The fragrance of the petals and the fragrance of the girl came together, and in the hazy vapor, Xiao Qiao's body was more graceful, which made Liu Qiao intoxicated. Liu Jun took Xiao Qiao in his arms and gently kissed her cheeks, eyes and skin...
The next day, Liu Wei got up late, and when he sorted out his clothes and left Xiao Qiao's room, he found Liu Hu waiting at the door.
"Lord, Ma Liang, Fa Zheng, and Ma Zhong ask for a meeting. "
The three of them?" Liu Jian was a little surprised, there should be no major events recently, why did they come to see each other at the same time? "Where?"
"Waiting in the Deyang Hall!" "
Okay, let's go over!" The
harem was not far from the Deyang Hall
, and soon arrived there.
Liu Liang waved his hand, "You three come at the same time, but what's the big deal?"
"Cao Cao's emissary, Sima Yi, met with Zhong Xiu privately and gave Zhong Xiu a secret letter from Cao Cao, and his subordinates thought it was a bit strange!" said Ma Liang.
"Where did the news come from?" "
Lord Hui, it was inquired by the Skynet Camp, and his subordinates also specially sent people to verify it, but this is the case
!" "Zhong Yuanchang is a loyal and righteous person, and since he has returned, he will definitely not give birth to two hearts!"
Liu Jun still knew something about Zhong Xiu.
"What the Lord said is good, but his subordinates think that no matter what, this matter should be clarified, otherwise the rumors are getting more and more public, and there will be trouble!" said Fa Zheng.
"The subordinates also agree with Xiao Zhi's words, the lord should confront Zhong Xiu face to face to dispel doubts!" Liu
Liang thought about it and felt that what Fa Zheng and Ma Liang said made sense, so he nodded, "Liu Hu, send someone to pass on Zhong Xiu, quickly come to Deyang Hall!"
