I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Lin Fan asked Chun Fang to prepare the leather bag for the raft. After emptying all the gas inside, he filled it with the poison gas he had prepared, and planned to bring it to the Golden Palace for explanation tomorrow.

After finishing everything, it was already late at night.

Lin Fan lay on the bed, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.

It has only been a few days since I came to this world, but a lot of things have already happened.

Lin Fan didn't feel tired at all, he was actually slightly excited.

He likes this feeling.

Lin Fan is an all-rounder in science, but the subject he is most proficient in is chemistry.

Now they have become extremely useful, and Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh: If you learn math, physics and chemistry well, you won't be afraid to travel around the world. My teacher was not deceiving me.

As he was thinking, Lin Fan fell asleep in a daze.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Lin Fan heard someone hissing.

Opening his eyes slightly, Lin Fan saw Chun Fang calling him.

"Haruka, what time is it?"

Lin Fan asked vaguely.

"My Lord, it's time to practice martial arts. The master has instructed me to urge you to practice martial arts every day." Chun Fang said softly.

"My uncle is not here, so let me sleep a little longer." Lin Fan pretended to close his eyes again.

Nian Gui is not around, so how could he possibly know if I was being lazy for a while?

"But Lord Marquis, the master has already said that if he sees that you have not made any progress when he comes to test you, he will come to supervise you personally." Chun Fang shook Lin Fan and said softly.

"Hey, can't I just practice?" Lin Fan had no choice but to get up and practice martial arts.

I practiced for more than half an hour.

Lin Fan also felt much more energetic.

Chun Fang brought the prepared breakfast and served Lin Fan.

After Lin Fan packed up, he walked towards the Wuchao Gate with his things.

Of course, Lin Fan didn't have to get the things himself, as Heisha would do the hard work.

Entering the Wuchao Gate, it was basically the same as before.

Lin Fan didn't think of trying to please someone who didn't like him, but stood directly next to Nian Gui.

"Well, it's not too late. That's good. You have made progress." Nian Gui said happily.

"Come on, if I wasn't afraid of your spanking, I wouldn't get up so early." Lin Fan said unhappily.

"Hahaha."

Nian Gui just laughed a few times and didn't say anything else.

After the morning court session began, Wang Chengen first reported on the situation of refugees in Liang State.

In response to this, Emperor Liang just gave a few instructions on setting up porridge stalls and properly settling the refugees, but there was not much new in the words.

Afterwards, a series of questions from the students were discussed, especially the long speeches by some old officials.

Listening to the article that was like a foot binding, Lin Fan almost fell asleep.

Finally, at the end, Emperor Liang asked loudly: "Where is Lin Fan?"

Lin Fan shuddered, and suddenly all his sleepiness disappeared. He quickly walked out and replied, "Your son is here."

Emperor Liang said expressionlessly, "A few days ago, I asked you to study the poison gas of Yan State. Have you made any progress?"

While speaking, he deliberately did not mention the bet between Lin Fan and Lin Rui.

None of the ministers were fools. Since His Majesty the Emperor said so, they, as ministers, naturally had to follow the Emperor.

Otherwise, would the emperor be embarrassed by making the matter clear?

Lin Rui knew it very well, but that didn't mean he wouldn't make a sarcastic remark.

"Father, seeing that my elder brother was in a leisurely mood just now and nodded his head from time to time, he must have been confident about what he had planned." Lin Rui shook his head.

"Don't worry, second brother. I have already prepared it." Lin Fan said without even looking at Lin Rui.

"Fan'er, is there any progress?"

Emperor Liang ignored Lin Rui's words and turned his gaze to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan bowed and said respectfully, "Father, I have already researched the poison gas."

"Oh? Can you tell me about it?"

Emperor Liang looked very interested.

"Father, the poisonous gas is actually just a mixture of methane and smoke."

"The Yan thieves first used smoke to knock our soldiers unconscious, and then used the poisonous gas from the marsh to kill our soldiers."

Lin Fan briefly explained his findings.

"Oh? Biogas? This is the first time I've heard of it." Emperor Liang asked curiously.

Lin Fan asked for permission and said, "Please allow me to demonstrate for you, father."

"That's right."

Emperor Liang waved his hand and waited for Lin Fan to demonstrate.

Regardless of whether Lin Fan was right or not, Emperor Liang didn't care now.

Anyway, they are just some weird tricks, what use can they be?

Lin Fan brought up all the prepared items, including a few chickens and ducks.

Afterwards, Lin Fan demonstrated in public the toxicity of biogas, how it could poison soldiers, and the flammability of biogas.

All of this might have been just common sense in the previous life, knowledge that even elementary school students would understand.

But now, in the eyes of these ministers, she is astonished by her beauty.

Of course, many people are disdainful of studying these strange and ingenious techniques. To them, these are things that are not worthy of being discussed.

Learning is valuable than anything else.

This is something ingrained into their bones, so they naturally disdain Lin Fan's research.

Lin Fan knew this very well, but he didn't care.

Lin Fan had seen too many things that could make these ministers drop their jaws, so there was no need to emphasize the power of these things. He would use facts to make them realize how superficial they were.

After the demonstration, Emperor Liang first praised Lin Fan a few words, then changed the subject and asked, "Fan'er, do you know the Shen family in Jiangnan?"

Shen family?

Lin Fan still had some impression of the Shen family. He knew that the Shen family was the largest merchant family in the world.

If it weren't for the Shen family, the economies of the six countries would probably be in a state of paralysis.

"I have heard a little bit about it." Lin Fan looked at Emperor Liang and replied, thinking in his heart what Emperor Liang meant by telling him about the Shen family.

"Since you know this, then you should also know the importance of the Shen family. I intend to let you recruit the Shen family. What do you think?" Emperor Liang looked at Lin Fan. Although it seemed like he was asking, his tone was unquestionable.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing I don't understand." Lin Fan said.

"Oh?"

"I want to know why the emperor didn't send a minister to recruit the Shen family, but instead asked me to go." Lin Fan asked the doubts in his heart.

"Because you are a prince, this shows the sincerity of Daliang." Emperor Liang explained.

But Lin Fan did not believe what Emperor Liang said.

Although I am a prince, there are so many princes, why did I choose him?

"Fan'er, what do you think?" Emperor Liang looked at Lin Fan and said.

"My son is willing."

Lin Fan thought about it and agreed.

The Shen family is the world's number one merchant family. If Lin Fan wants to expand and strengthen his business, he may need the help of the Shen family.

"Well, okay, in that case, you will set off for the Shen family in Jiangnan tomorrow, but Faner, you must pay attention to safety." Emperor Liang warned.

"Yes, I understand."

Lin Fan nodded.

The Shen family might be a very good help.

After leaving the court, he immediately found Nian Gui.

Lin Fan asked: "Uncle, what kind of family is the Shen family?"
