Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Of course, Ma Sanbao has long been accustomed to his master's temperament.

He knew that every arrangement and plan of his master must have his own deep meaning behind it, but His Majesty's insight was far-reaching and could not be guessed or measured by ordinary people.

So I was just a little surprised.

Then he bowed and slowly stepped back to do his work...

Zhu Yunhuan glanced at the room that was still emitting a little smoke, but ignored it for the time being. After all, gunpowder was too dangerous, and he had to wait for the reaction to be complete before doing anything else. Living a second life, he cherished his life very much.

There was a pause.

He also left the backyard and returned to the front hall, where he sat down at the Dragon Desk.

He raised his eyebrows and picked up the pen with interest to write and draw on the rice paper on the table.

First, he drew a grid in a crisscross pattern according to the periodic table. Then, using imperial ink, he filled each grid with the corresponding chemical element: [Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron; Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Neon; Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminum, Silicon, Phosphorus; Sulfur, Chlorine, Argon, Potassium, Calcium…]

Although it is impossible to write a complete periodic table of chemical elements.

But the ones at the front are fine, and chemical elements follow a periodic pattern, so it doesn’t matter even if you can’t remember some of them.

Anyway, those in front are more than enough for his current needs.

Also.

Just write down the basic materials for chemical applications on another piece of paper:

[Three acids: hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid...]

[Two alkalis: caustic soda, soda ash...]

Although some salts are also very important, chemical salts are compounds composed of metal ions or ammonium ions and acid ions.

As long as the three acids and two bases are developed, any salt will not be a problem.

……

three days later.

An imperial edict was announced to the world and quickly sent to all parts of the country for public announcement: The court is recruiting alchemists, and those who can refine the elixir will be rewarded handsomely!

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, it immediately caused an uproar.

Ying Tianfu.

Duke of Liang's Mansion.

Since the first edition of the newspaper was published twenty days ago.

The party of Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu has formed a habit of gathering at the Duke of Liang's mansion on the day when the newspaper is published.

Firstly, they exchanged information about the court situation.

Secondly, they are now in high spirits and like to get together and have fun.

When the first edition of the newspaper was published, there were rumors that the court initially planned to publish an edition every seven days, but it seems that due to various technical reasons, it was finally decided to publish an edition every ten days, which was called the "Ten-day Report".

Including the first issue, there have been two issues before.

Counting the days, today is the day when the third issue of the newspaper is published. Lan Yu, Chang Sheng, Zhu Shou, Zhang Yi, Zhang Wen... and many other Huaixi nobles have gathered together.

At this time, a servant walked in.

Everyone immediately stopped laughing and asked with concern, "How's it going? Did you buy the third issue of the newspaper?"

"This time the newspaper sale time seems to be earlier than the previous two times?" Someone noticed something was wrong and asked in confusion.

"It was earlier."

"It's half an hour earlier than usual."

"Hahahahaha! Let's see who's in the newspaper this time." Someone looked at the servant who came in and rubbed his hands expectantly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the others also showed eager smiles on their faces.

"The last time before that it was the Duke of Liang, and the time before that it was the Marquis of Heqing... Is it my turn this time? Quick, quick, quick! Bring up the newspapers!"

"How do you know it's you? Maybe it's us!"

"..."

Everyone started arguing with laughter.

They were looking forward to the publication of the newspaper, not only to understand the situation in the court and what problems Zhu Yunhuan, the little ancestor, had given them, but also to a large extent because of this - this newspaper was clearing his reputation!

The first time was when Lan Yu wrote the article "Two or Three Affair between the Duke of Liang and My Mother". Initially, they did not take it seriously and just thought that Zhu Yunhuan was teasing his uncle.
