Du Qi thought for a while, and said: "Since the Taoist priest Danyangzi knows alchemy, to put it simply, do you know the many materials for alchemy?"
Upon hearing Du Qi's words, Dan Yangzi raised his head and replied: "Of course I know it, and I'm familiar with it. Poor Dao only needs to smell it to know the problem of the material."
Du Qidao: "Do you know where I can buy in bulk? Such as sulfur, saltpeter, etc."
This is Du Qi's purpose.
In alchemy, some sulfur, saltpeter and other materials involved are the key of the key. If it¡¯s someone you don¡¯t know, and you¡¯re confused, you don¡¯t know anything, and you don¡¯t know anything, it will be quite troublesome.
With familiar people, it will be easy for Du Qi to purchase large quantities of raw materials.
When Dan Yangzi heard Du Qi's words, he felt a little weird.
Shouldn't you ask how to make alchemy?
Shouldn't you be asking what kind of pill is made?
Or, is it to ask if this elixir is poisonous, can you gain longevity if you eat it?
Just asked an irrelevant question.
But Dan Yangzi suppressed his thoughts, shook the whisk in his hand, and said to himself: "Your Highness, you are asking the right person. Although there are some ingredients such as saltpeter and sulfur for alchemy, there are some prescriptions, and it is relatively easy to find them in the Central Plains. .¡±
"But the land of the Western Regions is quite poor, and it is difficult for the people to survive. How can there be any thought to study these things?"
"If it's an ordinary prescription, ordinary herbs are easier to find. But other materials such as saltpeter and sulfur are not so easy to find."
Dan Yangzi stroked his beard under his chin and said, "However, Pindao knows about these materials. Some can be purchased from merchants, and some can be mined in situ."
"good!"
Du Qi praised.
When Dan Yangzi heard Du Qi's praise, he felt even more weird. He just said that he understands the purchase of materials, etc., is that good? This doesn't reflect his ability at all.
What's more, he also knows how to watch the sky at night, which is what he is good at.
Dan Yangzi thought for a while, and suddenly said: "His Royal Highness, Pindao came here to recommend himself. Although Pindao is good at making alchemy, but in fact, Pindao's prediction of the celestial phenomena, the trend of the astrology, and the prediction of the geographical environment are also very good. good at."
Du Qi chuckled when he heard it.
Dan Yangzi is showing off his ability!
Du Qi asked: "Then let me ask Daoist Danyangzi, now this March is coming to an end. By the end of the month, Daoist Danyangzi thinks how many more rains will fall? What will the latest rain be?" when."
After Dan Yangzi heard it, he was stunned.
How can this be predicted at will.
Dan Yangzi said: "Your Highness, there are still several days until the end of the month, how can it be so easy to predict. Moreover, the weather recently is uncertain, and the number of rains is not easy to predict. Changes can be understood, and the trend of astrology can also be understood."
Du Qi smiled and said: "Then Taoist Master Danyangzi, tell me, this represents the astrology of this king, and what kind of trend it is now."
Hearing this, Dan Yangzi looked at Du Qi carefully
The more he looked, the more he frowned.
Du Qi's face is hard to see through. Because he couldn't see through Du Qi's face, he couldn't listen to Du Qi's face and further speculate what kind of situation represented Du Qi's astrology.
This is not easy to handle!
Du Qi saw Danyangzi's situation, but in fact he didn't doubt Danyangzi's ability very much. But Du Qi himself is a traveler, and that's exactly the case. For these godly people, it is tantamount to being deceived by heavenly secrets.
Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Daoist Master Danyangzi, there is no need to speculate. This king just needs you now, so you can stay. You can go back and wait for news, or you can just stay in the palace and wait for me at any time." arrange."
"I stayed!"
At this time, Dan Yangzi already has interest and fighting spirit.
He is extremely accurate in seeing people's faces, and it is impossible not to see them. But in Du Qi's place, Dan Yangzi couldn't see through it, so such a situation made Dan Yangzi feel weird.
Du Qi nodded and said: "Okay, you can stay. But right now, the king needs some materials such as saltpeter and sulfur. You have to be prepared for this, and these are needed in large quantities."
Dan Yangzi said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, this is enough."
Du Qi nodded and said nothing more.
Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng saw it. Although they didn't understand Du Qi's intention, they frowned. For warlocks, Guo Xiaozheng and Liu Zhengxi, as Confucian scholars, actually instinctively resist.
The son is silent and strange, and both of them don't like such supernatural things.
But he didn't speak.
What Du Qi has decided is not easy to change. And right now, Danyangzi has just surrendered, and there is no harm, so he can only take a step to see the follow-up development.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier came.
The soldier saw Du Qi, bowed to Du Qi, turned to face Liu Zhengxi, and reported: "Master Liu, just now I have discovered a very capable person who is good at making instruments. He took out a In this book, it is said that it was inherited from the Mohist School in the pre-Qin period, and he is the heir of the Mohist School, who can make many siege equipment and defensive equipment."
After a pause, the soldier said again: "Even, he can make wooden kites that fly in the air. For those left behind for the time being, Master Liu wants to see him."
Liu Zhengxi said: "Bring people here."
The soldier turned to inform.
Liu Zhengxi looked at Du Qi again, and asked: "Your Highness, Master Guo and I have arranged for a reviewer. If it is an extremely outstanding person, he will report it directly, so there is another person now."
Du Qi said with a smile: "This king is also very interested now. It is not easy for a person who can make flying wooden kites. Especially if he comes from the Mohist school in the pre-Qin period, it is not easy!"
Du Qi needs these people.
Even for Du Qi, he would rather have more craftsmen than scholars.
Scholars who serve as officials can be cultivated.
Even if you don't know anything, as long as you are willing to cultivate it, it's fine. But craftsmen are different. Craftsmen belong to a more humble profession, not many people are willing to do it, and truly high-skilled craftsmen are extremely scarce.
After a while, people brought it over.
The people who came this time were quite normal. They looked like they were in their thirties and nearly forty years old. They had a strong figure, but their hands were slender, but their fingers were quite thick. They looked like people who often do things.
"Grassman Wang Wenkai, pay my respects to King Pingxi."
The name of the visitor was Wang Wenkai.
He was born as a craftsman, and his ancestors were all craftsmen. He made some farm tools, ironware, and some miscellaneous utensils at home. However, Wang Wenkai was not satisfied with this. When he was young, he found a book dedicated to making many utensils from the collection of books at home, and then studied according to the above records.
Although many utensils are not easy to make, and even the production plan is somewhat wrong, Wang Wenkai enjoys it and enjoys this situation very much.
When Du Qi recruited talents, Wang Wenkai came here on his own initiative, hoping to show off his strengths.
Du Qi nodded and said: "The person who heard the report said that you are a craftsman. Apart from many utensils, you can even make wooden kites that can fly in the air."
"yes!"
Wang Wenkai nodded and answered.
Du Qi asked, "Where's your wooden kite?"
Wang Wenkai reported: "Reporting to King Pingxi, Caomin's wooden kite is at home. The wooden kite needs a certain height to take off. If you want to try it now, you need to go back home." (Remember the website website: www. hlnovel.com
