Among the three big bosses in the southwest, the Shumu family has the most weight. This time Li Xin hits the Mu family to adjust the southwest to make the internal structure of the southwest healthy enough so that the southwest can go further.

The game of chess between Li Xin and Li Shuo was finally finished, and finally ended with Li Shuo's narrow victory. Li Xin stood up with a smile and said, "You have anyone under your command who has studied. You can send it to my General's Mansion. I will meet you in person. If it is appropriate, stay in the General's Mansion as an aide and help me manage the documents."

Li Shuo stood up and lowered his head to Li Xin and said, "Brother is so arrogant. My brother and I are a family, and I have some rough people under my command, so I can't get to the eyes of my brother. My elder general's mansion needs to recruit aides. I should try my best to find my elder brother and dare not have any selfish thoughts in this matter."

"It's normal to have selfishness."

Li Xin's face was calm: "Everyone has selfishness. If I don't have selfishness, I should be my Marquis of Taiping in the capital now, rather than being a rebel in the southwest."

"You must also have a little selfishness. In the future, after we walk out of Jianmen Pass, there are still many things to leave to you."

Li Shuo lowered his head deeply and said in a deep voice: "I must do my best to be the first to be the elder brother."

Although Li Xin has never personally admitted that Li Shuo is his brother, Li Shuo has called him his brother for more than ten years. He respects him as if he is respected as elder brother on weekdays. And the two of them are bleeding the same blood, and their relationship is somewhat different.

Li Xin patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I've come here, so I don't rush to go back. Stay for dinner."

Li Shuo bowed respectfully: "It is better to obey orders than respect."

…………………………

After Li Xin returned to the southwest, he slowly rectified the problems that occurred within the southwest, and sent people to Shanyin to contact the sixth prince. All work was going on in an orderly manner, and in the capital on the other side, Emperor Yuan Zhao was not idle for a moment.

At this moment, he did not stay in the palace, but came to the head of the Ministry of Works in person, staring at the craftsmen in the head, his eyes full of blood.

The general was the place where top craftsmen gathered in the Jin court. From palace construction to gold, jade, pearls and jade, exquisite utensils were all from the general. Originally, things like Tianlei should be handed over to the people of the military weapon prison. However, the military weapon prison only made bows, crossbows, armor, and did not fiddle with these fine things. Anyway, everyone knew nothing about this thing, so Emperor Zhao of Yuan selected dozens of top craftsmen from the general weapon prison. Since the first year of Yuan Zhao, he has been studying the medicine powder of Tianlei.

By last year, these craftsmen had already made some plausible powders left by Li Xin in the first year of Yuan Zhao, which could barely explode. Then last year, in order to leave the capital, Li Xin left more than a dozen heavenly thunders for Emperor Yuan Zhao. After confirming that he had obtained the real product, Emperor Yuan Zhao immediately ordered to be the supervisor and study the medicine powder of the heavenly thunder with all his strength.

This world does not have the analytical tools I have in later generations. If you want to figure out what is in the powder, you can only achieve your goal through extremely rough methods. In summary, it is nothing more than looking with your eyes, smelling with your nose, and touching with your hands. However, the most useful method is to... taste with your tongue.

In the past few months, every craftsman in the prison tasted the taste of medicine powder with his tongue, and then based on their decades of experience, he selected similar materials. With the previous years of experience, they finally created the thunder of the Great Jin Dynasty for Emperor Yuan Zhao!

In the yard where he was about to be the supervisor, Emperor Yuan Zhao looked at a pottery jar in the middle of the yard. Even as the Supreme Lord of Jiuwu, he held his breath now, and his voice was filled with tremolo: "Light."

The person in charge of lighting the fire was a small eunuch in the eunuch. He had only entered the palace for a few years and was not yet ranked.

He was shaking his whole body and lit the inconspicuous clay pot under his feet.

In fact, the fire-pulling paper of this thing is very long. It runs away when it is lit, and it will hardly hurt yourself. The reason why this young eunuch, who is only fifteen or sixteen, is so scared because he received the order.

After ignite, do not run away, just stay next to the clay pot.

The little eunuch waved his hands, tremblingly lit the pot under his feet, then gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, overcame his inner fear, and forced himself to stay where he was.

The clay pot... exploded with a loud noise.

Emperor Yuan Zhao ignored the emperor's etiquette and was the first to run to the center of the yard. After the white smoke spread, he saw a broken pottery piece and a little eunuch rolling on the ground in pain.

This little eunuch was not as severe as the explosion. It was mainly because when the pottery jar was exploded, the pottery pieces splashed around him cut one or two parts of his body. Fortunately, this "copycat version" of the sky thunder is far less powerful than the sky thunder in the southwest. The scratched Eunuch Xiao was also slightly injured, and there was nothing serious.

Emperor Yuan Zhao frowned and looked back at the general who was in charge of the order, saying unhappily: "This level is far from reaching the level that can be used on the battlefield. This man was wearing a civilian and was only slightly injured. If he was a soldier with armor on the battlefield, he would basically not suffer any damage!"

The commander was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the most powerful medicine powder I will make in the past few months. Although it is still inferior to the thunder in the southwest, the thunder in the Yangtze River has found its way. I believe that in a while, I will definitely make the medicine powder that is comparable to the thunder in the southwest!"

The emperor looked at the general coldly and said coldly: "I don't have much time, and you won't have it. I will give you another three months. In three months, I will see the military-friendly thunder. Otherwise, everyone who will be in prison will suffer a sin!"

After saying that, the emperor groaned and left.

The general who was the chief jailer knelt on the ground and sent the emperor away respectfully. After the emperor left, he stood up and looked back at the circle of craftsmen around him, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Everyone, you have heard what Your Majesty said. In the past three months, no one of you will leave. Let's find a way to get this thing out, otherwise you may all be killed."

After saying that, this person will order dozens of craftsmen to leave.

From beginning to end, no one noticed the little eunuch who had been lying on the ground and howling.

After the emperor returned to Weiyang Palace from the general's prison, the eunuch Xiao Zheng immediately reported the troops from the northern border. He bent over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, what's happening in the northern border?"

At this time, more than three months had passed since Li Xin came out of the pass to defeat the enemy and returned to the pass. The court had already known that the northern border was temporarily safe.

The emperor cleaned his hands and reached out to take the document sent by the Northern Xinjiang. After a brief look, he frowned: "Yuwen Tao from the Helan tribe of the Northern Xinjiang, wants to ask me for an identity?"

He continued to look down, and then his brows became deeper.

"He said it was promised by the Grand Tutor to him on behalf of the Grand Jin court."

Emperor Yuan Zhao groaned: "My teacher is really good at giving others a favor."

From beginning to end, he just talked to himself, and Xiao Zheng didn't even say a word.

After the emperor muttered to himself, he slowly breathed.

"Forget it, I won't compete with these Northern Barbarians for the time being."

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Zheng.

"Go to make a draft, give this Yuwen Tao a general and a marquis."

Xiao Zheng bowed his head respectfully.
