Chapter 205 The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade
After Li Chengze gave Fan Wujiu instructions, he went straight back to his bedroom and closed his eyes to meditate.
As he has been too busy these days, he has not practiced martial arts for a long time. Now that there is still a chance, he should seize the time and break through to the ninth level as soon as possible.
By then, whether he is learning other skills or practicing swordsmanship, he will definitely become stronger.
He also wants to learn Li Chungang's swordsmanship.
Afterwards, Li Chengze practiced in the room.
Time flows like water, passing in the blink of an eye.
Soon, an afternoon passed quietly.
After practicing for a week, Li Chengze felt a little hungry, so he stopped practicing.
He got up from the bed, pushed the door open and walked out.
It was now completely dark, and the lanterns in the mansion began to be lit, shining with a faint light.
Li Chengze rubbed his stomach and walked towards the living room.
Just as he was about to walk into the living room, he saw the maid Xiaotao squatting in the garden next to him, not knowing what she was doing.
"Xiao Tao!"
Li Chengze shouted forward.
Xiao Tao, who was watering the flowers, stood up hurriedly after hearing Li Chengze's voice.
"Your Highness." Xiao Tao looked at Li Chengze and said with a smile.
Li Chengze waved at her and said, "Come here."
"Okay." Xiaotao put down the things in her hands, lifted her skirt, and walked quickly towards Li Chengze.
"Your Highness, what do you want?"
Li Chengze asked: "What were you doing just now?"
Xiao Tao replied: "I'm watering the flowers."
"These are all your favorites. I just bought them yesterday."
Li Chengze looked at the smiling girl in front of him, with a little dirt on her face.
He raised his hand to wipe the dirt off Xiaotao's face and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Tao was a little flattered, and quickly shook her head and said, "It's not hard."
"These are all my responsibilities, how can it be hard?"
Li Chengze nodded and said, "I'm a little hungry now. Can you help me get some food from the kitchen?"
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Xiao Tao nodded in agreement, turned around and ran towards the kitchen.
And Li Chengze continued to walk towards the living room.
After a while.
Li Chengze was waiting in the living room, and Xiaotao brought over four dishes and a soup and placed them neatly on the table.
"Your Highness, the food is ready. Please enjoy it slowly."
Li Chengze nodded and said, "Okay, go down and have a rest."
"If anyone comes to see me, tell them to come to the living room."
"Yes." Xiao Tao responded, took the lunch box, turned around and left.
After eating a few bites of food, Li Chengze picked up the newspaper on the table and checked what had happened recently.
Just as he was watching intently, a sound came from outside the living room door.
"Your Highness."
Li Chengze recognized whose voice it was, and immediately came to his senses and spoke to the outside.
"come in."
Soon, Fan Wujiu walked in quickly, holding a small wooden box in his hand.
He walked up to Li Chengze and gently placed the wooden box in his hand on the dining table.
"Your Highness, this is what you need."
"I've got it for you."
Li Chengze's face lit up with joy, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "Quick, open it and let me see."
Fan Wujiu opened the wooden box, revealing the black gunpowder inside.
Li Chengze put all the food in front of him aside, reached out and pinched a little gunpowder, and put it in the palm of his hand to check.
Whether it is color, smell or appearance, it is exactly the same as recorded on the drawing.
It was indeed black gunpowder. Li Chengze asked, "How much is this?"
Fan Wujiu replied: "Probably a little over one pound."
"I found those old friends, and his maximum deadline can only give this much."
"If there are more, it will be difficult to explain to the higher-ups."
Li Chengze clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this much is more than enough."
Anyway, he just wanted to know whether the gunpowder available on the market could be made into bullets and flaming arrows.
If that's possible, things will be much easier later on.
As long as he gets the three major workshops under his control.
No matter what bullets you need in the future, there will be no problem.
Li Chengze took out a few banknotes from his pocket and placed them on the table.
"Take this money and treat your friends to drinks when you have time. Don't neglect them."
Fan Wujiu picked up the banknote and immediately nodded, saying, "Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."
Li Chengze waved his hand and said, "Okay, this is none of your business, go down and have a rest."
"Yes." Fan Wujiu nodded in agreement, turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, wait!" Li Chengze stopped Fan Wujiu again and said, "Go call Shen Shiping over and tell him I have something to talk to him about."
"Yes." Fan Wujiu responded, then turned and left.
When Li Chengze looked at the gunpowder in front of him, he immediately had an idea in his mind.
It is not too late.
Now that we have gunpowder, let's quickly make it into bullets and see if they can be used.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problem.
After all, all the gunpowder on the market was made by Ye Qingmei.
Given her level, there shouldn't be any problems with the gunpowder she produces.
In the past, it was thanks to Ye Qingmei that he could use the ready-made ones directly.
As the saying goes, those who plant trees will enjoy the shade. It's the same principle.
Soon, Li Chengze picked up paper and pen and carefully drew down the part about bullet design and manufacturing in his mind.
After a while.
Li Chengze had just finished drawing the blueprint when a short, thin man walked in from outside.
He walked up to Li Chengze and immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, are you looking for me?"
Li Chengze looked at the person who came and asked, "Shen Shiping, what is the status of the things I asked you to make before?"
Shen Shiping replied: "Your Highness, we have already built the general outline of the thing, and we just need to refine it."
"We guarantee that we can build it within three days."
Li Chengze waved his hand and said, "Don't be so anxious. It won't be a problem if you wait a few days."
"I've said before that it has to be exquisite and accurate, without any mistakes, and it doesn't matter if it takes a little longer."
"Yes, I understand." Shen Shiping nodded.
Li Chengze put the blueprint in his hand on the table and said, "Take this thing back and make it as well."
"It is the same as the previous requirement, only quality is required, not time."
Shen Shiping glanced at the blueprint and nodded, "I see. I know what to do."
"Okay, go down, and remember to get some rest." Li Chengze said.
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Shen Shiping took the blueprint and turned to leave the living room.
Then, Li Chengze closed the box, put it on the ground next to him, and continued eating.
Now everything is ready, we just need to wait patiently.
at the same time,
Fan Wujiu, who had just left the living room, was walking in the backyard when a figure came up from behind him.
"Old Fan!"
When Fan Wujiu heard the voice, he immediately turned around to look.
Then, Xie Bian, dressed in a purple robe, walked towards them with a smile on his face.
