Chapter 366: Could there be someone more powerful?
When he was about to stay in Tiansheng Capital, his image to the outside world was just that of a powerless and bullied useless prince.
The court officials of Tiansheng didn't even give him a glance, so where did the "against all odds" come from?
What was the purpose of Emperor Xuanwu's words? Hu Yanmingchuan knew it clearly.
But he didn't care either.

After all, he wasn't interested in marrying Yunshu.

If he had to get married, he hoped his spouse would be a mathematician.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask of you."

"Oh?"

He had just made it clear that his daughter had no intention of marrying this boy, and this boy suddenly said he had something to ask of him...

Don't you really intend to rely on your merit in delivering Beixiang to ask for Xiaowu's hand in marriage?
Emperor Xuanwu narrowed his eyes and looked at the calm and composed young man standing below. He did not say anything final, but just pointed at him calmly:
"You brought Beixiang back to Tiansheng, which is indeed a great achievement.

If you have any requests, feel free to ask. As long as they are not too excessive, I can satisfy you!"

The point is, don't overdo it.

Hu Yanmingchuan understood, and he raised his eyes expressionlessly:
"Your Majesty, I just hope that Her Royal Highness can give me all the math books at the back at once."

Emperor Xuanwu: “?”

What do you mean?
Isn’t his fifth grade student as attractive as that math book?

This is probably a common problem among all fathers who treat their daughters as treasures. Previously, I thought Hu Yanmingchuan had taken a fancy to his daughter Xiaowu.
Emperor Xuanwu disliked Huyan Mingchuan very much.

Now that I realize that my Xiaowu is so good, this rascal has no vision at all,
Emperor Xuanwu became more and more displeased with him.

Fortunately, he still remembered that he was the emperor. Now Hu Yanmingchuan had made great contributions, and there were so many people watching in the palace.

No matter how unhappy his old father was, he couldn't show it in front of everyone.

Not only that, he had to smile and nod:
“That’s not really an excessive request.

It’s just that the math book you mentioned is in the hands of the princess after all. Even I am not sure whether the math books at the back can be taken out at once.”

"That's it."

Huyan Mingchuan nodded slightly, turned around and looked directly at Yun Shu:

"Perhaps Your Highness can give an answer to this question?"

“Isn’t it just a math book?”

She had initially used the math book to lure this guy, in order to keep him steady and prevent him from causing trouble for her no matter what.

Now that the Beixiang incident has happened, Hu Yanmingchuan has obviously plunged into the world of mathematics and is obsessed with it.

What's wrong with giving him those math books?
Mathematics has been developed for so many years in later generations, enough for him to study for a lifetime!

Yun Shu agreed very happily:
"I'll have someone pack up the things in the palace these days and try to send them all to you before New Year's Eve."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

……

This Wanshou Festival dinner, after the two climaxes of Yun Shu's gift from the "chosen girl" and Hu Yanmingchuan's direct farewell to the country,
What happened afterwards seemed more or less dull.

Emperor Xuanwu was also thinking about the sky that was lit up specially for him in the Linde Hall. After a whole night of happiness,
The next day, after the court session, as soon as he entered the imperial study, he couldn't wait to ask about this matter -

"Can you tell me now? How did you make the Linde Palace light up?"

"By physics, by generators, by light bulbs?"

Yun Shu had obviously expected Emperor Xuanwu to ask this question. When she went to court this morning, she even put the blueprint in her sleeve pocket.

Now he took it out and spread it in front of Emperor Xuanwu, but he had no intention of explaining it to the other party in detail. He just raised his chin with a smile:
"If Your Majesty is willing to listen, I don't mind telling you from the beginning, but I think it will take quite a while."

"That's not necessary."

Emperor Xuanwu was definitely a student of liberal arts. He was dizzy looking at the dense lines on the blueprint. He only needed to know one thing -

"So, this thing is not achieved by divine power. It is like a steam car, and can be made by mortals?"

"of course!"

Yun Shu had a look on his face that said, "Father, what are you thinking about?"

"You don't really think that I am a god, do you?"

Emperor Xuanwu: “.”

It does.

Yun Shu: “?”

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

Yun Shu pushed the generator blueprint aside, took out another blueprint, and said solemnly:

"Father, I plan to build a military factory in the suburbs of Beijing."

"Arms factory?"

Emperor Xuanwu was stunned for a moment:
"You're thinking……"

"I want to make more gunpowder for future use."

Yun Shu nodded and explained seriously:

"The Nia Nation had never sent an envoy to Tiansheng to attend the birthday celebration and New Year's Eve banquet before, but they came this year, and brought the so-called 'Pope's approval' with them, obviously trying to test our strength.

We never know when something like the previous situation where the seven countries declared war on us at the same time might happen again.

So I think it’s best for us to be prepared for all of this in advance.”

"You have a point."

Emperor Xuanwu took a deep breath and looked at the military factory blueprint given by Yun Shu, frowning slightly:
"But you also said before that the production of gunpowder is not that difficult.
In order to prevent this recipe from being spread out, everyone in the military factory must be absolutely trustworthy and loyal. "

But since they are going to build a factory, there will definitely be a lot of manpower needed in the factory...

“That’s just one aspect.”

Emperor Xuanwu was still thinking about the manpower problem at the military factory, but Yun Shu had already taken out the third drawing... Oh no, this time she took out a memorial.

"Father, you also know that I am a person who likes to be prepared for any eventuality.

Of course, the military factory must maintain strict confidentiality, which may be okay for a period of time, but over time, no one can guarantee that it will always be foolproof.

If the formula of this gunpowder eventually falls into the hands of an enemy country, our best response would be to come up with weapons that are more powerful than the gunpowder we have now.”

"Could there be anything more powerful?"

Emperor Xuanwu's pupils shrank suddenly:
"What is it?"

"...I am just saying this, I have not done it yet."

Yun Shu looked innocent:
"What I mean is that someone else can do it."

"Let someone do it?"

Upon learning that there was no sign of a stronger weapon, Emperor Xuanwu relaxed again:
"Who should do it? Zheng Qiaozhang, Jiang Yuanbao, Ye Qingan and the others, or the other people in the Ministry of Industry?"
