Li Ming's words outside Nanguo City obviously made everyone wonder. Seeing that the increasingly perfect escape plan was suddenly denied by him, everyone was a little surprised. But these days, Li Ming often showed some superb talent and wisdom in front of everyone. Since he said this, there must be his reason, so although everyone was still dissatisfied with it, they didn't say anything on the spot. And they also knew that Li Ming would definitely tell everyone his thoughts in the end.

In this way, everyone returned to the Shangshu Mansion speechlessly from outside the city. The excitement after the experiment had already disappeared without a trace. Li Ming's handful of cold water splashed everyone a little listless.

But Li Ming seemed to have not noticed these. When he returned to the back garden, he immediately issued new instructions. This time he did not want to collect fire and stones, but to draw patterns on paper and take them outside to create them. Looking at the strange-shaped patterns that came out of Li Ming's hands, Gao Fei and others, who were originally very frustrated, also began to be excited. Everyone knew that what Li Ming Rang made at this time was definitely not a simple thing. Maybe he had already thought of a trick to get everyone out of Nanguo City.

After Li Ming ordered some necessary things to the guards, he stood up and smiled and said to Gao Wei: "It's your turn now. Since you have the financial power, we should make good use of it. The Ministry of Revenue should be in charge of the treasury. There must be some entrusted by various places in the treasury over the years, handed over, confiscated, and even jewelry and jade that the emperor doesn't want? Tomorrow, no matter what you think, you will get me more than a dozen large crystals. Haha, you will be willing to do some corruption these days. You may not be unhappy. I'm afraid you have never done it before, hahaha, now, Yang Lin's good reputation will be destroyed by you." After saying that, he couldn't help laughing. Everyone heard what he said interestingly, and laughed together.

Gao Wei smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, Yang Lin and I have been ruined by you in the past two days. Haha, what's the solution? Just sit back for a corrupt official. How big does it take for the crystal? Don't let someone pull it back in a carriage and you're still big, so I'll be in vain."

Seeing Gao Wei in the mood to joke, Li Ming smiled comfortably and said, "Who asked you to get such a big one? It doesn't need to be too big. It's a little bigger than your fist, but the quality must be better. The less impurities, the better the better. It's better to get more, about one hundred yuan. Haha, this is another big deal, you can find a way for yourself. In addition, get more oil and stones for sharpening, the more the more, the better. I'm very useful. Gao Fei, hurry up in the past two days and try to finish all these more than 300 bombs, so as not to make mistakes in panic. Okay, you can rest, I should go back to the Ming Palace to rest. Now with the Ming King protecting me, my life is really comfortable."

After Li Ming finished speaking with a self-deprecating voice, Gao Fei arranged a few guards to send him to the Ming Palace. However, his room in the palace was shining with candlelight. Li Qingzheng was playing chess with Zheng Yu while waiting for him.

Li Ming walked into the room and hurriedly accused Li Qing of guilt. Li Qing smiled and waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite. Zheng Yu's chess skills are too high. I'm not his opponent. Do you want to have a game with him?"

Li Ming shook his head and smiled, "I have never had any research on Go. Since my elder brother can't do it, I'm even less of an opponent. I'm still waiting for me so late. Is there anything important to do?"

Li Qing stopped the chess piece in his hand and looked at Li Ming and said, "It's been two days since you've been here, and some things should be helped by me. This is the case. In today's court, there are several examples among the court officials who are very impressed by them. Of course, these include Yang Lin. They are all loyal to me, and they have many disciples, and they are all important officials of the third rank or above. They are all honest and upright, and have a very good reputation among the people. Unfortunately, except Yang Lin, they are all neutral. If I can get their help and support, and with my current power, I will More than 80% of the confidence is that Li Ming, you are also famous in the eyes of the people. You are my lobbyist. I believe that those old scholars can recognize them. What do you think? You are not only a skilled doctor, but also a very skilled craftsman. I have known this for a long time. Since this is the case, you should start from Chen Tong, the Minister of Works. This old man is a standard old scholar. He is addicted to his own tricks every day and has made many amazing gadgets. This is quite similar to you. I think if you visit, he will definitely be very welcome."

"Oh"? Li Ming felt excited. There was an inventor who would become a senior official in this era? This is different from the traditional Chinese thoughts. After he came to this world, all the people he encountered with the ability to invent and invent was at the bottom of the artisan, and Chen Tong was actually an alternative. It seems that he really wanted to visit him, and maybe he could find something useful to his actions from him.

Thinking of this, Li Ming hurriedly said, "Since my elder brother has given this order, then I will visit him tomorrow morning after I finish my work. Maybe I can tell him."

Li Qing laughed and said, "I said it, you will definitely agree. After all, you have the same interests. He brought me one of his fun things. Haha, I have always been very interested in his gadgets, but he has always rejected my requests, and I am not good at using force. Now, it's okay, haha, it depends on your performance tomorrow." After saying that, he stood up and said to Zheng Yu, "It's interesting to play chess with you. Only you can keep your hands on me. Unlike other chess players, they obviously give in to me every time. But today is not good, it's too late, so let's get here." After saying that, he patted Li Ming's shoulder and took Zheng Yu out.

Early the next morning, in the back garden of Yanglin's mansion, Gao Fei was taking the guards left behind to make the bombs in his hand. Zhao Fengzi took a few people out to find what Li Ming needed, and Gao Wei also went to the Ministry of Revenue to find a way to embezzle the crystal early in the morning. Li Ming also got up early, but he seemed very leisurely. After breakfast, he took several guards from the Prince Ming's mansion and rode a tall horse and walked up the street.

A morning passed quickly, and Li Ming also slipped from the east of the inner city to the outer city, and then walked around a long circle, followed the Tianci River in the city to the west of the inner city, and ate a few trays of small buns in a restaurant next to the city. He thought that the ministers who went to court had returned home, then followed the street to the Minister of Works' Mansion in the south of the inner city.

After Li Ming handed over the name of the sect in front of the mansion, he was respectfully taken into the hall by the servant. While serving tea, the housekeeper said apologetically: "I'm so sorry. Sir, my master is doing his business in the back garden. We don't bother you quickly without his instructions, so I'd like to wait a moment. My master often mentions his name. The master always says that he was sent by God to save the suffering of the world, saying that if it weren't for the mansion, I wouldn't know how many people would die. I admire him very much. Originally, my master had a rule that he would not receive anyone in the mansion, but I think, Mr. Qing should be an exception. So Mr. Qing waited patiently for a while, and my master would definitely be happy to see you."

Li Ming nodded, sat down and took a sip of the bitter tea soup. It seemed that Chen Tong, like Yang Lin, was also a bitter official. He didn't even have a little Longjing tea at home, and now he still drank this bitter ball tea.

Li Ming sat in the living room for an hour, and Chen Tong's figure still did not appear. Li Ming stood up anxiously and said to the butler: "Old man, since your master loves me so much, I don't think he will shave me and disturb him. So, I'll go to the back garden to find him. I believe he will be very happy to see me. After all, I still have many urgent matters and it's impossible to wait here for more."

The old butler nodded for a while and said, "Since sir is very anxious, I will make the decision rashly. Sir, please let me lead you."

Li Ming was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up and followed the old housekeeper to the back garden. Although there were obvious differences between Chen Tong's mansion and Yang Lin's mansion. Yang Lin's mansion was towering with ancient trees, bright flowers and green grass, and there was poetry everywhere; while Chen Tong's mansion seemed much more messy. The bluestone Avenue leading to the back garden was piled with pieces of wood, stones, pig iron, and copper, etc., and there were also different shapes. Strange things were piled in messy piles of waste stones. To others, it was not a dignified Shangshu Mansion, but it was clearly a grocery store on the street.

As soon as he walked into the small door of the back garden, a black shadow rushed towards Li Ming. Li Ming was startled and subconsciously dodged to the side. At the same time, he flew out like an arrow on his left leg and kicked at the black shadow.

"Puff", "Oh" and "Oh" sound, Li Ming hugged his feet and jumped away in pain. It turned out that a carved man from wood was standing next to the small door, and a long arm was hitting the place where Li Ming was standing just now, but his arms seemed to be sewn with rags, and cotton seemed to be filled in the middle, so he hit the ground and made a "Puff" sound. Li Ming kicked the wooden man's head and kicked the iron hat worn by the wooden man to the ground. The iron hat fell on the ground and made a "Dumb". After Li Ming kicked it, he felt as if he was kicking a stone, which made him scream "Oh" on the spot.

Just as Li Ming was dancing a one-legged dance, a stern shout came from the back garden: "Who is it? I am impatient, how dare you break into it? I warn you, I don't care about you if something happens, go out quickly. This is not a place for you to stay."

Li Ming endured the pain on his feet and hurriedly said loudly: "Li Ming came to visit Lord Shen."

After a while of silence in the garden, the person inside suddenly shouted: "Li Ming? Which Li Ming are you?"
