"Your Highness is wise, and the weak ministers will not dare to do anything wrong."

Guan Zhiwei, who was halfway through the surprise, was suddenly shocked and hurriedly expressed his opinion.

Li Chen can still trust Guan Zhiwei's character.

This guy is average in work ability, but has a very good attitude, and knows what to do and what not to do.

After a few words of this, Li Chen sent Guan Zhiwei and Su Zhenting away.

But Li Chen left Song Yingxing behind.

Song Yingxing was a little nervous, but he didn't dare to ask too much, and followed Li Chen back to Xizheng Hall honestly.

As soon as he entered Xizheng Hall, Li Chen said, "I will give you a task. This matter is top secret and cannot even disclose Guan Zhiwei."

Song Yingxing's heart trembled and he immediately knelt down and said, "The villain obeys the order."

"I have already enthroned you. Although the official order has not been issued yet, you don't have to call yourself a villain, you can call yourself a minister."

Li Chen's words made Song Yingxing's eyes red.

He dreamed of a membership identity. Now this step seems to be just a sesame official, but it has allowed his class to cross and come to the most noble class of officials. This is a great event for future generations.

With a trembling voice, Song Yingxing said respectfully: "Wei...wei, obey the order!"

Very satisfied with Song Yingxing's gratitude and tears, Li Chen said: "You will be responsible for developing more powerful gunpowder in the future."

At present, the gunpowder used by the Qin Empire is already very widespread, from red-clothed cannons to small folk fireworks, it is no longer a new thing.

But these gunpowders, without exception, are the least efficient black gunpowder.

Poor stability, low explosion efficiency and low power. The only benefit is that it is quite convenient to manufacture.

But this is far from enough in Li Chen's opinion.

"The power is at least twice as high as the gunpowder used now. Then you can find materials, wrap them in, stuff them with steel balls, ignite the fuse and throw them out, which can cause large-scale damage."

What Li Chen said was the grenades from later generations.

It is not very advanced technology, but it is mainly one idea.

Once the idea is opened and gunpowder technology and steel ball manufacturing technology are available, other problems are no longer a problem.

Li Chen was very much looking forward to the soldiers of the Qin Empire throwing them into the Liao and Jin cavalry camps. The scene was exciting to think about.

Song Yingxing listened carefully. He didn't care what His Highness wanted to do for this thing, he just thought about the difficulty of making it.

After understanding, Song Yingxing said: "I dare not disobey, but the research and development of gunpowder requires a lot of experiments. I am afraid that the application of materials cannot avoid others' eyes and ears..."

Li Chen, who had already thought of this, said directly: "I will ask the Jinyiwei to contact you. Just let the Jinyiwei do whatever you need."

"In half a year, I will definitely give your highness a good news!"

“Three months.”

Li Chen cut the time halfway and said, "I can only give you so much time."

Song Yingxing gritted his teeth and said, "I obey the order."

"very good."

Li Chen nodded. He didn't need to know how difficult it was for Song Yingxing to face. He only cared about the result.

"After things are done, I will not treat you badly, let's go down."

After sending Song Yingxing away, Li Chen glanced at Chen Tong who had been standing outside the hall gate for a long time and said, "Come in."
