In the wide corridor, only Li Le's footsteps echoed, giving people a very empty and strange feeling.

After walking for a distance of about forty or fifty zhang, Li Le stopped in front of a room on the side of the road, and then, entering the dark room, lighting a fire, finding the mechanism on the stone wall, pressing hard, and with a "boom" sound, a stone door was opened. Behind the stone gate is a dark corridor.

Li Le held the fire fold and stepped in, and the stone door behind him closed automatically after he entered.

Walking less than ten feet, I entered a simple "artificial elevator", pulled the bell next to me, and the ground slowly fell. The work of a cup of tea is already in the end, and the stone wall in front of me is gently knocked three times, and the stone wall will naturally open.

The bright yellow light suddenly lit up, and Li Le blew out the fire fold in his hand and walked inside. It was a small stone room, with five people of different shapes, old and young, busy in it, and they did not interfere with each other. Occasionally, some craftsmen entered through the stone gate on the other side, and after consulting with someone for a while, they hurried out.

Among these people, there are Zhang Xingzhi and Du Qingyuan. Seeing Li Le come in, the other three just arched their hands slightly, then ignored them and continued to be busy with their own affairs.

Zhang Xingzhi's expression looked very tired, and he walked up to Li Le with a yawn and said, "Master Dao, my affairs are over, and I will return to Taoyuan Mountain in a while...... Forget it, go to the capital, give me a bag of silver, I'm going to the Qinglou. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand in front of Li Le.

Li Le smiled and said, "I came out in a hurry, I didn't bring any money with me, so I asked Si'er for it when you went out." But I advise you to go to bed now, and it is not too late to go again tomorrow morning, for the gates are already closed. ”

Zhang Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, and asked unconsciously: "It's night? This place is day and night, and I can't even remember the time." No matter what, Xuanyi's token should be able to open the city gate, right? Give me a side, Dao Ye is very anxious now. ”

Li Le took out a token from his arms, handed it to him, and said: "Declare in advance, whether this token can be called to open the city gate is two different things, it depends on whether the iron does not bend and does not give face." If he doesn't open the door, I can't help it. ”

Zhang Xingzhi heard him say this, and put the token into his arms indifferently: "If you can't open it, then Dao Ye can only climb the city wall, remember to go to the prison of the City Gate Division tomorrow, if you find that Dao Ye is there, remember to catch people." ”

As he spoke, he ignored Li Le anymore, and strode away with his robe, as if he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

"I'm almost done. Du Qingyuan came to Li Le at this time and said, "It is estimated that the slowest will be these two days." ”

He was also tired, but his eyes were bright and excited.

Seeing him like this, Li Le arched his hand with a smile and said, "These days, there is a young master of Laodu." ”

Du Qingyuan waved his hand nonchalantly, and said: "It's really hard to imagine that the Grand Governor can gather so many strange people and skilled craftsmen together, which really opens Du's eyes, they are all rare geniuses in the world, and after getting along with a few people in the past month and a half, Du has really benefited a lot." ”

Li Le sighed regretfully and said, "It's a pity that the Mr. Gongyi who built the prison passed away too early, if he helped, this place might be more perfect." ”

"Humph!"

As soon as Li Le finished saying this, he saw a middle-aged scribe snort heavily, put down the measuring tape in his hand, and said, "What does the Grand Governor mean is that my Mo family's organ skills are not as good as the old man?"

This person is a contemporary magnate of the Mo family, inheriting the lineage of Tian Xiangzi, and he is also a contemporary Tian Xiangzi. The organs of the public loser and the Mo family have fought for thousands of years from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, and they have won and lost each other, and they are not convinced by each other. Now that he heard Li Le praise the descendants of the public loss class, he couldn't help but start to get angry.

Li Le arched his hand to him and said: "What Juzi said, I just think that if Mr. Gongyi is still alive, he may be able to combine with the Mo family's organs, after all, one person is short in wisdom and two people in wisdom." With Mr. Gong Losing to assist Juzi, this place will be built even more perfectly. ”

The sycophant of "public loss and auxiliary juzi" made Tian Xiangzi's heart flutter, and a smile appeared on his face undetectably, and he said: "That husband still has two brushes when he loses, and I have seen the prison he built, which is not bad." ”

After saying this, he ignored Li Le, continued to pay attention to the drawings on the stone case, and called some craftsmen who were busy outside from time to time, pointed out a few words, and said some modifications to some places.

And the other two, one is the descendant of Zu Chongzhi, a master of mathematics, Zu Yu. The other one is the descendant of Shen Kuo, the creator of the former Song Dynasty's "Mengxi Writings", Shen Zhengzhi, who is a master of mathematics and objects. After hearing Tian Xiangzi's remarks, they all sneered at each other, but they didn't say much.

After this guy was hired by Xuanyi two years ago, he rushed to the prison in Qianli Village in a panic, trying to find some flaws in the structure of the prison, so as to prove that the Mo family was more powerful than the Gong loser's tricks, and used it to suppress the Gong Yi clan. As a result, I was nitpicky for more than half a month, but I didn't find it.

After the disgraced face came out, he said, "But that's it." He never spoke of it since.

This matter has already spread privately among the masters of Xuanyi, Tian Xiangzi is not as good as her husband to lose, this is recognized by everyone, but he didn't say it openly, for fear that he would lose face.

So at this time, hearing Tian Xiangzi's words, Zu and Shen despised him a little.

Li Le naturally knew about the infighting between the various masters who served Xuanyi, but he didn't intend to stop it. This was not the era of the Warring States Period, when one doctrine did not hesitate to use force against each other in order to bring down the other. For example, it is impossible for Kong Zhongni to kill Shao Zhengmao, and the competition between masters is carried out at the level of their own technological breakthroughs, surpassing, and pressing each other.

Therefore, Li Le is also happy to see it happen, and the competition and competition between each other is very beneficial to Xuanyi and even the entire big business.

"Although I don't understand what the Grand Governor is doing with such a 'big array', Du doesn't plan to ask more about these things. Du Qingyuan said excitedly: "The matter here is basically over, what Du wants to ask the Grand Governor now is that the Grand Governor said to Du earlier about the assault rifle, breech flintlock pistol and the improvement of the gunpowder ratio, but there is already a draft?"

Li Le stretched out his hand to invite, and the two walked out of the stone room. I saw that outside the stone room was another extremely vast place, where countless craftsmen and those people who were captured by Xuanyi were busy back and forth without sleep.

The two walked on a stone corridor, and Li Le spoke: "Naturally, there are drafts, but I think whether it is a assault rifle or a flintlock pistol, these things are actually not very useful. These two things, for martial arts masters, especially first-class martial arts masters, basically do not play a big role, and the research is the same as chicken ribs, it is better not to put more thought into this, but the better gunpowder should pay more attention to. ”

Du Qingyuan shook his head and said, "Why has the Grand Commander's gaze become so narrow? These two things may not be of much use against martial arts masters, but they are rare weapons when used in military formations, after all, not everyone in this world is a martial arts master. ”

"In particular, the flintlock pistol, in terms of loading ammunition, I don't know how many times faster than the arquebus equipped by my Dashang border army, under the tactical mode of 'three teams in rotation, four teams in rotation', which the Grand Governor said, can carry out large-scale killing and wounding of the grassland cavalry, in Du's opinion, its power is more sharp than artillery. ”

When Li Le heard this, he was in a slight daze, and then smiled bitterly, it seems that he has entered a misunderstanding, in the past, he was surrounded by some "non-human" martial arts masters, and the enemies he faced were also such characters, firearms and firearms naturally did not have any impact on these people, but for ordinary soldiers, it is not an exaggeration to call this kind of thing a "big killer".

Then he arched his hand to Du Qingyuan and apologized for his wrong remarks just now.

But seeing Du Qingyuan smile mysteriously, he continued: "Grand Commander, with your wisdom, how can you think that the musket will deal with a martial arts master?"

Li Le shook his head and said, "It's not that I have to deal with it, I think it's unnecessary." Dozens of breech guns, it's okay to kill a first-class master with rotation tactics, but the gains outweigh the losses, and it is better to use these resources to improve Xuanyi's individual combat power......"

"If so, a second-rate master can kill a grandmaster with a breech gun. Du Qingyuan smiled and said, "Do you think it's feasible?"

Li Le was suddenly startled, looked at Du Qingyuan incredulously, and calmed down for a moment before he said: "This is impossible, the bullet of the flintlock pistol is not enough to penetrate the Grandmaster's protective True Qi, even if the Grandmaster stands still, it is impossible to let the musket carry out ten rounds of intensive bombardment." ”

The two stopped in front of a stone barricade, Du Qingyuan had an excited light in his eyes, laughed, slapped the stone barricade twice, did not continue to say what he just said, but said with great emotion: "Zhang Xingzhi, really talented." ”

Li Le frowned and listened to him continue.

Du Qingyuan sighed and said: "In the past month and a half, in addition to being busy arranging the formation of the Grand Governor, Du Mou has been communicating with the masters for the rest of the time, among them, the most exchanged is Zhang Daochang, he asked Du two questions, one is 'How does the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi come about'?
