Chapter 64 Your Highness actually understands this kind of biased learning!
As soon as Li Sheng made these two jokes, Li Erjun and his ministers suddenly broke into cold sweat on their backs.
They all realized one thing, His Highness is so talented, but you can’t really see it.
If the relationship is exposed now, who knows what will happen to His Highness?
The aristocratic family has not yet been eliminated, and they will definitely regard His Highness as a thorn in their side!
If in the future the Turks are beaten by the new crossbows, and they find out that it was His Highness's handiwork... then His Highness will become a thorn in the side of the Turks again.
Although His Highness is very talented and knowledgeable, he is still in a high position!
Now Li Er and the others almost treat Li Sheng as a cherished animal, no, directly protect him as a literal little ancestor.
They secretly swore in their hearts that they would never offend His Highness...
But then, after Li Sheng finished his joke, his face became calmer, and he said half-jokingly, "But I said, Lao Li... you guys, you said you would come to thank me and give me gifts before, but in the end, you were nothing but a bunch of scum."
How about this scumbag big sword now? You are very good at eating and drinking!"
Li Sheng actually wanted to use the channels of Li Er and others to see if there were any good products to buy in Chang'an, mainly to use them as raw materials for various experiments.
As for Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, they seemed to be scolding them secretly for not knowing etiquette and eating every day without knowing who was coming or going.
This secret curse actually made them relax.
Your Majesty!
It's normal to be scolded by His Highness, just don't get involved in this matter!
Li Er quickly hugged Li Sheng and said with a playful smile, "Hey, isn't it because the world is uneasy recently and life is not stable, so I accidentally forgot about it? He said, whatever the young master wants, even if I lose my fortune, Old Li will satisfy it."
!”
…
When Li Er said this, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui's ministers' eyebrows immediately stood up.
Li Shimin is a man who promises a lot of money, and if he says he will lose everything, he really dares to do so.
If His Highness makes some outrageous conditions, wouldn't it be a big problem?
"Hey, Lao Li, you are such a braggart. I want you to report to His Majesty and give me all the Cui family's property in Qinghe. Can you do it?"
Li Sheng was joking, but it's not like he hadn't thought about this kind of thing. If he had been born in a better family during this time travel, he might have established an industrial empire by now.
But it's just a joke. In the previous life of Qinghe Cui, it was the Rothschild series...
But... what Li Sheng didn't notice was that he finished this sentence.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng exchanged glances, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh, that’s all it takes. Although it takes some time, it’s really not that difficult!
What can a dignified prince do by asking for a fiefdom? Not to mention His Highness’s contribution to the Tang Dynasty so far, it’s not easy to acquire more properties from several aristocratic families!
Li Er also really thought about it,
So this time it was Li Sheng's turn to be confused, "No, Lao Li...what's that look on your face that you think about it? You are not Li Er. I just want to ask you to do something."
Li Er was startled when he heard this, "Doing something?"
It turned out that Sheng'er had something to ask for, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "It's okay, sir, just say it, Lao Li, I don't have anything else, but I have many acquaintances in Chang'an, so I can talk in all aspects!"
Several ministers quietly pouted, "You are your Majesty, don't you just speak well?"
However, there is no need for a fiefdom, His Highness wants to do something else... They are still a little curious about what it is.
They all looked at Li Sheng.
Li Sheng thought about it and said slowly, "Old Li, do you know where I can get saltpeter?"
"Saltpeter is the key raw material in this hand grenade."
"In addition, I also need sulfur, salt, trona... and other minerals."
"Of course, you still need some charcoal, but we have it in this village, so I don't need to bother you, Old Li."
When Li Er heard this, he thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be like this?
What's so difficult about this.
Wei Zheng, on the other hand, showed a puzzled look, "Wait a minute, Master, are you trying to make elixirs?"
…
Wei Zheng received a Taoist education and was proficient in the Tao Te Ching and a series of derivatives, such as Sun Tzu's Art of War, numerology, strategists, Yin and Yang schools...
Of course, it also includes alchemy, and is also sensitive to various medicinal materials.
But Li Sheng shook his head.
"All elixirs and elixirs are deceptive. Most of them are either heavy metals or charred substances. One is poisonous and the other is carcinogenic. You only eat those if you don't want to live longer."
"ah?!"
"There is such a thing?!"
"Oh my god, is it true? There are a lot of people taking pills today!"
When Li Er and others heard this, they were all shocked.
You must know that although Li Er is only middle-aged now, but... just like all good emperors, Li Er will inevitably have dreams of eternal life, so he even collected a lot of elixirs by himself and brought others to donate.
Li Sheng nodded after hearing this.
"Of course it's true. The things burned in the stove are very harmful."
"But it's okay. Although the harm is serious, because the cost of refining alchemy is huge, the poison is not widespread. It is mainly the royal family and some wealthy people."
"These rich people are mainly members of various aristocratic families. You don't need to worry about it. You can just give Li Er a warning when you have the opportunity. It would be better if you could give the Empress a warning."
Li Er suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
He has collected quite a lot of elixirs, but fortunately he is not old enough and has not taken any yet!
Wei Zheng's eyes widened and he looked at Li Sheng absentmindedly.
"But Young Master...how did Young Master know that pills are poisonous?"
"Isn't this simple? Heavy metals destroy proteins. You go back and beat an egg, remove the yolk and get the egg white. Then scrape some powder from the elixir and sprinkle it in... Then you will find that the egg white will turn into a hard lump after a while.
.”
"The reason is very simple. The surrounding structure in the egg white has been destroyed and has lost its function."
Wei Zheng was completely lost in thought.
He holds a high position and can mobilize a lot of resources. Occasionally, he actually does similar experiments with elixirs when he has nothing to do.
That’s really it!
His Highness actually... actually understands this kind of partial knowledge!
Oh my god!
Is this guy a human?!
Monster!
Li Er thought for a while and suddenly said, "But Master, since the elixir is poisonous and useless, then these raw materials are used to refine other things? The penicillin you gave me last time..."
"Hey, Lao Li, you are overthinking. Penicillin is not a pill. Whether the drug is useful or not depends on the active ingredients in it. Penicillin is not made into pills, it is equally effective in any shape. The difference is just the weight.
.”
"But this time I am not refining any elixir, but... making fire yao."
A cold light flashed in Li Sheng's eyes.
Li Er and others were a little confused, "What is the fire yao? Doesn't it mean that we don't make elixirs? Then this fire yao..."
"Yes, Master, didn't you say that everything refined in the furnace is poisonous...then why can it be used as medicine?"
