Potassium nitrate is not only a weapon, but also has many uses, such as making ice, making matches, and making fertilizers. This is of great significance to Li Ye, so he has been having a headache about this in the past few days.

Finally, after thinking about it, he could only bear to give up his love and let Yan Shen take charge of the matter. For this reason, Li Ye first asked him to choose a trusted team of servants guards, which required at least fifty people. The servants and the guards can mix and then change the value.

We are ready to start construction immediately after the weather gets warmer.

Another troublesome thing is that he had to go to Kaiyuan Mansion to wait for the order. This matter was both good and bad. The advantage was that he gave him a legitimate official body. After talking to Zhong Daoyu, he realized how important an official body was in this era.

But the disadvantage is that it will waste a lot of his time, and He Zhao has always had opinions about him, so he must not be able to stay in Kaiyuan Mansion.

After noon, Li Ye first checked the progress of the winery, and gave Qiu'er the drawings, and asked her to direct the construction of the hydraulic forging workshop. After the last plum blossom fragrance with Yue'er, she changed into formal clothes, brought the documents from Zhongshu, and set off for Kaiyuan Mansion.

This time, Li Ye rode his horse on his own. The lesson learned on the second day of the junior high school made Li Ye understand that poor equestrianism would be fatal.

When he arrived in front of Kaiyuan Mansion, he found that the entire Kaiyuan Mansion was deserted and there was only a thin gatekeeper standing at the door. Li Ye was surprised. Logically speaking, shouldn't Kaiyuan Mansion accept affairs today? Why is it still so deserted?

So after getting off the horse and asking, he found out that He Zhao had taken all the yamen runners to inspect Kaiyuan City.

Kaiyuan City is very large, and there are Kaiyuan Mansions in various parts of the city, both large and small. The so-called inspection is to inspect the officials in this place.

Li Ye was full of dark lines, so he didn't have to inspect the house on the first day. He Zhao obviously didn't like him, so he took everyone away. This is to give him a warning.

He waved his hand helplessly, forgot, the adults don’t remember the villain’s passing, so he asked the guardian to take him in. The guardian was timid, and Li Ye said he would take him, but he didn’t even ask who Li Ye was.

After entering the main hall, he saw an old man in official uniform coming over. He bowed his hand and spoke slowly: "I... That's right, Sima Wei, the judge of Kaiyuan Prefecture, is here to wait for the crown prince."

Li Ye also bowed down and said to the judge of Kaiyuan Prefecture, the second-in-command of Kaiyuan Prefecture after He Zhao, so he asked: "Why are the seventh day of the lunar month and there are so few people in Kaiyuan Prefecture?"

The old man shook his head: "This morning... I saw the prefect take away the crowd and say he was inspecting the capital... and officials everywhere, I knew he was afraid he was getting angry again." The old man said while taking Li Ye to the inner hall.

"So I came to guard it, and it turned out that I could guard the noble person...

Lord He is good at everything, young and in a high position, and is prominent for a while... but he has a bad temper." As he said that, the old man shook his head and still took Li Ye to the inner hall office. There was no rule. While he wanted to pass Li Ye's official documents and stamp the seal of Kaiyuan Mansion, he said slowly: "If it is an ordinary small official position..., it would be fine, at most it would be unsatisfactory at most, but when he reaches this position, he still has a child's temper. I am afraid that he will suffer in the future..."

While talking nonsense, the old man included his official documents in the Kaiyuan Treasury, then found him the ID card, and went to the Treasury to get the knife and official uniform. It felt like the whole Kaiyuan Treasury was taken over by the old man.

The old man talked for a long time: "Your Majesty asked the prince to come to Kaiyuan Mansion to wait for the order. Having said that... But the prince wanted to take the position where I wanted to take office in my Kaiyuan Mansion. That was all the matter of the prince's words.

Even if the prince spoke, I came to make arrangements, it would be useless for Lord He to object..."

The old man was much cute than He Zhao. Li Ye thought for a while and said, "That was to arrange for me a relaxed arrangement without doing anything, just a job named in Kaiyuan Mansion."

The old man thought about it and nodded slowly: "I am the judge of Kaiyuan Prefecture, and I need to have... a prosecutor around me. I only need to make some records when opening the case. I am not a director or a record. I don't have to remember anything. What does the prince think?"

"That's it." Li Ye nodded, so he had an official position and no need to do things.

The old man pleased Xiaoxiao and then prepared to record and enter the file. In this way, he became the pen prosecutor of the judge of Kaiyuan Prefecture.

At this moment, Li Ye heard someone calling him a name outside the lobby of Kaiyuan Mansion. He heard the sound of someone knowing him. He quickly knew that it was He Qian who was here. Sure enough, He Qian, who was jumping and armed in Hu's uniform, rushed in.

......

"Your Majesty, you have already drunk five cups today, so you can't get more." Fu'an advised that since he brought back the general brew in the Tingyu Tower, His Majesty must drink it every day, and the amount is more than one day, and he is often dizzy and worrying.

"Not hindrance, I am the king of a country. How could I be afraid of this little wine!" The emperor waved his hand indifferently: "Pour it for me again."

Fu'an looked embarrassed and never dared not disobey the emperor's orders.

The emperor raised his wine glass, turned it in his hand, looked at the white porcelain cup carefully and said, "Fu'an, is this the porcelain from Ru Kiln?"

"That's right, Ru kiln is an official kiln. The porcelain is known for its delicate and smoothness and as clean as jade. This cup is the best product of Ru kiln." Old Man Fu'an quickly agreed.

The emperor did not speak, stared at the Ru kiln porcelain cup, and then asked: "Does there Ru kiln porcelain in the home of ordinary ministers?"

Fu'an replied again: "Ministers regard the emperor as respected. Since they are the objects that the emperor likes, they are naturally sought after by their ministers. Therefore, they are collected by the people. However, most of the goods are resident and very expensive. After all, this is a thing used by the Tian family."

The emperor did not speak, put down the wine glass in his hand, and stood up swayingly: "Is that right? Then I will issue an order. I want a set of Ru kiln porcelain and see which minister has a collection at home, and if it is rewarded according to my wishes."

Fu'an was inexplicably confused by the emperor's sudden idea. I don't know why the emperor suddenly said this. Most of the palace was Ru kiln porcelain, so why did you need to ask the ministers? But he nodded and asked someone to go down and give orders.

"I thought that even if I was not sure about the attack on Liao this year, there would be eight or nine points. Unexpectedly, Wang Yue wrote a letter, which immediately made me understand the shortcomings of the military system. I was only six or seven points in the attack on Liao." The emperor sighed.

"Your Majesty has good fortune. This is to know it well before, and it will be a stop to the misfortune, right?" Fu'an said quickly.

The emperor shook his head: "It would be fine if it was just this matter, but I was assassinated again on the second day of the lunar calendar. If it weren't for Xingzhou, I was afraid that my life would be lost at this time. Ansu's mansion was also suspected of rebellion. If external troubles were not eliminated, internal troubles arose again..."

It’s hard to say about Fu’an now, after all, it’s really a turbulent time.

"The military reform in the court is not the only one who insists on the restructuring of the army except the Zhong Daoyu. There are many internal and external troubles outside the court..." The emperor said and rubbed his temples: "Sing Zhou said that he could not send troops, and that the troops would rebel. I naturally considered it. But if Suzhou could not be good morning, how would he attack Liao this autumn? Then he was afraid that the King of Wu would be in trouble."

The emperor said and frowned again: "Tell me about the army, but the military reform cannot be made. How to get out of the army is now a situation of internal and external difficulties."

Fu An Jing didn't speak. He knew that the emperor never said these words to others. The reason he would tell him was because he went in and out of his left ear and could only listen.

"If the ancestors of heaven and earth still protect me, then give me a turnaround." The emperor said as he picked up the wine from the stone table and scattered it on the ground...
