Finally, she wrote down in detail how to make gunpowder, how much saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, and so on should be used, what kind of ratio should be used, and so forth.
Anyway, it was written very clearly. As long as one followed her steps, there would be no mistakes.
If this thing was not handled properly, it would explode. Jiang Yue naturally added a sentence at the back of the paper, telling them to follow this strictly and pay attention to safety.
When the ink on the paper was dry, Jiang Yue went out of the room and showed it to Xue Yan, who was practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
Shao Zhongxi was also there, so he naturally saw it too. He still did not ask anything, but when he heard Jiang Yue talk about the power of the cannon, his eyes clearly lit up.
Xue Yan carefully looked at the paper Jiang Yue gave him. There was nothing much to ask. Jiang Yue had already told him about it long ago. He looked at the materials needed. Some of them still needed to be refined. Altogether, it was a very expensive and time-consuming weapon to construct. Then, Xue Yan ordered someone to send these papers to the Imperial Capital and give them to the Ministry of Works. Once the gold ore and saltpeter were mined, he would let the Ministry of Works start production. He also instructed the Ministry of Works to be careful with the materials.
Xue Yan was now the Emperor, so everyone would have to follow his orders. Even though the Ministry of Works was very curious about cannons and gunpowder, they still received the decree and began to seriously prepare the materials, and no one dared to ask more.
On February 24th, Qi Yin arrived at Locust Village and reunited with Shao Zhongxi.
Pei Fufu gave birth to two boys on the 9th of March. They were fraternal twins and did not look alike. The older one was called Xue Ningzhi and the younger one was called Xue Ningyuan.
On April the 10th, Yu Hongyan gave birth to two daughters. They were identical twins and looked very similar. Moreover, Xue Erfu really named them Xue Ganggang and Xue Dangdang, just like in his previous life.
On September 14th, Qi Yin gave birth to a boy named Shao Lin.
It was also on this day that Emperor Hao was angered by his youngest son, Prince Shou.
“Xue Yan, come, come. Come and see how lazy your brother has become.” After entering the house and going to the upper room, Emperor Hao asked Xue Yan to come over.
Xue Yan held back his laughter and came over, only to see his almost one-and-a-half-year-old younger brother lying on the bed with his back spread out. Beside him was a pile of toys, and no matter how his father pulled him across, his younger brother did not move.
His younger brother was very smart, but he was extremely lazy and didn’t like to play. He would rather lie down than sit up.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he would get hungry once in a while, he probably wouldn’t even be bothered to eat.
Previously, because he was too young, he didn’t realize all these behaviors. He thought that his brother was just very quiet and obedient. When he grew up, he slowly realized how lazy he was.
Now, it was becoming more and more obvious how lazy he was.
Jiang Yue also walked over to take a look.
However, she did not show any expression at all. She just quietly looked at the baby who was lying on the bed.
Actually, she didn’t expect Prince Shou to be so lazy at such a young age. She found Prince Shou to be quite smart, and that he might be able to take over Xue Yan’s position in the future.
Shao Youyue had already reconciled with Emperor Hao. Seeing this situation, he was also happy. He came up to pull his son over and coaxed him. “Shoushou, be good. Shoushou, don’t you want to go and see your cousins? Ningzhi and Ningyuan are so easy to carry away. Xue Shi and Xue Bai are also learning to walk. Look at how obedient they are. Xue Shi always brings them to play. You should move too. Go and play, okay?”
Prince Shou’s expression instantly turned into despair.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were speechless.
