Chapter 214 A Small Fire Is Given to the Craftsman’s House

The four newcomers to the palace, following the instructions of their seniors, served the dishes on plates, serving only a little of each dish.

Sit down and eat, then add other dishes when you're done, so you can eat more.

The cafeteria is bright at night. There are candles lit on the glass lamps. The candlelight shines out in all directions. Since the bottom is made of glass, there will be no large shadows.

"Push a cart of food to the bathhouse. I want a big piece of meat. There's a lot of work today." A farmer shouted while standing outside the canteen.

"I know." The person in the cafeteria agreed.

"They don't come in to eat because they are afraid of delaying their work?" a new maid asked Cuiliu in a low voice.

"There is a lot of dust on the kiln, and there is a lot of dust on my body. When I come in, there will be dust on other dishes. I go directly to take a shower. I am hungry and can't wait."

Cuiliu knew the reason and whispered back in the same voice.

"Dongzhu Li, please give me some names." Gao Lishi didn't go back at night, drank wine, took a sip and said to Li Yi.

"The palace maids are Bihe and Jinju, and the eunuchs are Huangbai and Ziyu." Li Yi casually gave four names.

In the future, the four classes of palace maids and eunuchs will have common names, and each of the four will be assigned one point to confirm.

They work from this moment on, a few days ahead of the next shift.

"Why don't we stay a few more days?" Taohong said.

"No." Gao Lishi refused: "You go back and continue to look at the other people in the palace. Select the teachers and prepare to replace Bihe, Jinju, Huangbai, and Ziyu."

Taohong pouted and didn't want to go back. The New Year Palace was busy, so it was better to relax in Zhuangzi.

Gao Lishi ignored it. He still wanted to enjoy Zhuangzi's feeling in the palace, but he couldn't.

"I'll bring you a gift when I leave tomorrow." Li Yi said.

The four of them were happy that their trip was not in vain.

"If you want vegetables, go back and share them with the other two classes." Cuiliu requested.

"You can choose by yourself." Li Yi agreed. He treated the palace maids and eunuchs who came over as his own, and life would be difficult if he could not return to the palace.

Every time people go back, they will pack their belongings in large and small packages. Those who return have to wait thirty days before they can come to Zhuangzi again.

When I was in Zhuangzi, I always felt that the days were short, but in the palace I found that the sun rose more slowly and set even more slowly.

Fortunately, they still have hope and will always be able to take the wheel, but more people in the palace have no hope at all.

Sixteen people were newly selected, these four are the best performers, and the other three classes have to be screened layer by layer.

Your appearance needs to be pleasing to the eye and smart.

The most important thing is that there are no complicated relationships with other people in the palace.

If you want to use people from other places, unless they are the maids and eunuchs of the queen, concubines or talented people, you will not be selected.

Li Yi ate slowly and chatted with Gao Lishi.

"From now on, remember to ask them to bring new things that don't violate taboos to our family when they go back." Gao Lishi asked for benefits.

"Firecrackers..." Li Yi wanted to give fireworks.

"Firecrackers are taboo. You ask your brother to send them to the palace. Our family has them ourselves. Wouldn't it be easier to get them than Your Majesty?"

Gao Lishi firmly refused.

He was afraid that he had a pile of dangerous goods that would explode suddenly.

The ones Li Yi sent before were placed in Xingqing Palace and were not available in the imperial city. They would be taken away when thirty children needed to be set off.

"Dr. Li, if you want to sell firecrackers, you must find a good buyer, sell them for how much, and leave a record." Gao Lishi thought of something.

Li Yi stopped with his chopsticks at his mouth, thought about it, and nodded: "That's true."

After putting the food in his mouth, he chewed it a few times and swallowed it. Li Yi said again: "I have a method. Anyone who buys firecrackers will have someone follow him from the village to instruct them to light it. Every time they buy something, they must light it in one go before thinking about it again. Just put it away and buy it again.”

"What a great idea. Our family feels at ease." Gao Lishi raised his glass and agreed.

"By the way, it can also benefit bankers." Li Yi said with a smile.

"Benefits?" Gao Lishi was surprised.

"For the guidance fee, add half the price, and if you pay an extra 50 cents, the banker will come back and take 5 cents, and I will get 45 cents."

Li Yi told the price increase and distribution ratio, giving the banker 10% of the business fee.

"Donzhu Li really knows how to do business." Gao Lishi said something that was either derogatory or complimentary.

"They set it off, and they may accidentally injure people. The banker has given instructions, and I will be responsible for anything that happens."

Li Yi explained the reason. He had the greatest responsibility, so he took more money.

"That's a reason." Gao Lishi smiled.

After eating, they went to rest, and the new arrivals received one-on-one instruction on the rules of the dormitory.

***

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Chengqi came over again to serve as the starter and referee.

Gao Lishi and others had breakfast before dawn and rushed outside the city gate to wait for it to open.

After the morning meeting in the palace, Yao Chong got good news when he returned to the political hall.

"Yao Xiang, it's done. They've done it. They dismantled many cannons and found that there were no sawdust or honey inside, but rather charcoal.

So I adjusted the recipe again, sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, and it really worked.

I just don't know why Zhuangzi's medicine comes one by one. The medicine powder always doesn't make any sound when it is thrown in the middle of the mud, and it doesn't work even if sand is thrown in. "

The person in charge of the various skills reported the situation to Yao Chong.

"How much is the cost?" Yao Chong was happy.

"You can make three for one coin, but two or three of ten can be made. The sound is not loud enough and there is a lot of smoke." The visitor replied.

"Why is it so expensive? Can't you sell this?" When Yao Chong thought about the silent cannon, he found that it had no market competitiveness.

"Yao Xiang, I have an idea. Let's make the same cannon-throwing thing as Li Yizhuangzi's on the outside, and sell it out for two cents for one penny. Others won't know that we did it. When the time comes..."

'Snapped! ’ Before the man could finish his words, he received a slap on the head.

Yao Chong said angrily: "When the time comes to move your head, I will have no choice but to resign. I can't afford to disgrace this person."

"Yes, I won't do it." The man nodded repeatedly.

"Go and ask them to study hard and memorize the safety manual." Yao Chong's good mood disappeared again.

Then in less than half an hour, a puff of smoke rose from the place where the prisoner had been lent to the man who had been working as a prisoner.

There was a panic in the palace. What happened?

The remaining 2,500 Yulin Feiqi rode directly from the Forbidden Garden to the palace. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Queen Wang entered her carriage and asked someone to call His Majesty.

Not long after, the news came back.

It's okay, it's not that someone rebelled and the place where gunpowder was set burned down.

In the Queen's Palace, Li Longji looked at Yao Chong who came in to plead guilty: "Did the safety manual become toilet paper?"

"Your Majesty, there were no casualties. The gunpowder was scattered and burned. According to the safety manual, once danger is discovered, run away immediately. Only a few people's clothes were burned and their faces were blackened."

Yao Chong was also angry.

"How did it burn?" Queen Wang asked from the carriage.

She had no intention of hiding in the palace. If something happened, she would rush out and go to Li Yi.

She firmly believed that although her uncle did not take out any weapons, it was really dangerous. Even if thousands of troops could not rush in, he must have some means.

Now that she is unhappy, will it be easy to have a baby? scare me.

"They wanted to add glue to the powder, grind it together, and burn it. Everyone shouted and ran. The medicine was scattered. If there was some on the ground, it started to explode."

Yao Chong told the situation of the fire, and at the same time he was thankful that he had followed the instructions in the safety manual and evacuated the fire, but then he realized that it was not easy to run away first.

Otherwise, people will really die.

Gao Lishi stood nearby, hesitated, and said, "Your Majesty, to avoid trouble, Dongzhu Li's place yesterday..."

He talked about supervising the purchase of firecrackers and Li Yi's response.

"It's better not to make this gunpowder in the workshop. There are many people talking and the people involved who know the secret...send it to Li Yizhuangzi."

Li Longji decided, you all should stop playing. What if you blow me up?

"I know." Yao Chong agreed helplessly.
