After Zong Shu escaped, there was nowhere else to go for the time being, but to Tongzhen Palace.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of Tongzhen Palace, I heard a burst of cheers erupting in the inner courtyard, and many people shouted "It's done, it's done".

What has become?

As soon as Zong Shu entered the courtyard where the experimental room was located, he saw more than 20 Taoist priests with stains on their faces, and they were getting carried away there, jumping and screaming.

Lin Lingsu saw Zong Shu and walked over quickly: "Master, it's finally done, the glass trial has been successful!" ”

Glass is the easiest thing Zong Shu can think of at the moment, and Zong Shu is not very excited about it.

If he wasn't excited, wouldn't it chill the hearts of Lin Lingsu and these Taoist priests?

Zong Shu hurriedly asked: "Where is it, I'll take a look!" ”

Lin Lingsu and the Taoist priests surrounded Zong Shu into the laboratory, and there was a small steamed bun-shaped stove in the room, and a piece of glass was placed on the table.

Compared with later generations, the purity of the glass is still not enough, and it is still a little dark red. But that's enough.

Zong Shu immediately rewarded the Taoist priests who fired the glass, one hundred taels of silver each.

That's a lot of money! You must know that in the Northern Song Dynasty, a seven-grade county order, the monthly capital is only fifteen, of course, excluding other allowances.

The Taoist priests studied for more than ten days, and they earned a hundred taels of silver, which was much more than a county order.

Zong Shu lost no time in cheering everyone up: "I said that the career you are engaged in now is completely different from the alchemy in the past. You are alchemizing just for personal health. And your current research is to benefit the people and strengthen my Great Song Dynasty! On behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you! ”

The Taoist priests listened passionately, and the master is now not representing the master, but the prince and the court!

The research they are doing now is for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty! A wave of pride couldn't help but rise from everyone's chest, and they looked at Zong Shu with burning eyes.

"Next, you have more important tasks to study, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, your funds will be guaranteed."

After Zong Shu finished speaking, he led Lin Lingsu into another room.

In this room, Lin Lingsu had already prepared the charcoal that Zong Shu requested.

Zong Shu drew a few figures and handed them to Lin Lingsu. Lin Lingsu saw that this was easy to do, after all, the glass had been made, and the most critical link had been solved.

The graphics painted by Zong Shu are not complicated, and if you want to achieve it, you just need to make a few more molds.

Lin Lingsu is with his apprentices these days, and he doesn't care about Cai Jing's acquisition of Tongzhen Palace, anyway, everything is decided by Master Zong Shu.

Yesterday, an official came to Tongzhen Palace to see Lin Lingsu. Officials said that the Cai family was willing to pay 200,000 taels of silver to buy Tongzhen Palace.

At that time, Lin Lingsu was really moved. With so much silver, find another place where you can build a bigger one.

According to Zong Shu's assumption, the current laboratory conditions of Tongzhen Palace are not available, and there are not enough rooms.

But Lin Lingsu didn't agree, because everything was up to Zong Shu.

200,000 taels of silver, which made Lin Lingsu's disciples also quite excited, and at the same time, they also felt, Master, what a bull!

Zong Shu asked for a price from the high-ranking officials and ministers headed by Cai Jing in the manufacture of the warm pavilion! This time, the Tongzhen Palace was raised to a sky-high price of 200,000 taels of silver!

Who can be ruthless to the prime minister of the current dynasty? Only Shigong!

Walking out of the room, Zong Shu saw a pile of glass and glass waste in the yard, and walked over to take a look, these days, Lin Lingsu took his apprentices to change the formula again and again, and did experiments again and again, it was really not easy.

"Qingxuan, hurry up and find a place to dump the slag." Lin Lingsu added: "By the way, bury it, this scum is easy to prick people." ”

"Don't, don't, don't fall this thing! In the future, the residue and waste left by making glass will have to be collected, I will be useful, this is also a treasure. Zong Shu hurriedly said.

Lin Lingsu understood after thinking about it: "This thing can be placed on a high wall, but it can prevent thieves." ”

Lin Lingsu's brain is quite good, Zong Shu smiled: "The guess is good, but it's not enough." In addition to this feature, there are more powerful ones, and you will know when the time comes. ”

"Young master, this glass ballast is useful on the battlefield!" A voice sounded, and Niu Gao walked over.

Niu Gao abducted twenty-eight people from the forbidden army, and Zong Shu asked Lin Lingsu to place them here.

Hearing Niu Gao's words, Zong Shu looked at Niu Gao steadily. is worthy of the surname Niu, that's a real cow.

Lin Lingsu could only guess that the glass ballast could be used on the courtyard wall, and Niu Gao was directly linked to the military.

"Boyuan, please tell me how to use it on the battlefield?" Zong Shu asked.

Niu Gao nodded calmly and said, "The horses of the golden people are most afraid of slips and obstacles when charging. If this glass ballast is placed on hard ground, it can pierce the horse's hooves. ”

Zong Shu patted Niu Gao on the shoulder and said, "Boyuan, good at thinking, this is a necessary quality for a general." Not bad! Of course, there is a bigger purpose for glass ballast. ”

Zong Shu thought that Niu Gao had guessed his true thoughts, and was startled. Looking at it now, Niu Gao's quality is extremely high, but it is impossible to think of something that he has not seen.

Now Zong Shu can't tell them explicitly, because this thing hasn't been made yet.

"Let's go, look at the people you recruited."

Zong Shu wanted to meet these people, they would grow up in the Mixian base and become a special force that did not exist in this era.

When I walked to another courtyard, I saw that these people were practicing their own knives, spears, and hammers, and they looked very lively.

Niu Gao shouted: "Stop." ”

These people turned their heads and looked at them, and then they put away their weapons and walked slowly.

"Are you a forbidden army, or an elite? Loose, where does it look like a gentleman? ”

Judging from the situation just now, the personal qualities of these people are good, but the discipline of the entire forbidden army is lax, and they have developed this appearance.

These people looked at Niu Gao, not knowing what this young master was doing.

Niu Gao glared, and these people immediately became honest.

"What is a forbidden army? Young Master Ben thinks that it is forbidden to order, if you are allowed to go, you must not run, and if you are allowed to roll, you must not jump! Discipline, discipline, this is the cornerstone of an army. ”

"Here, line up!" Zong Shu rolled his eyes: "Don't you understand?" Seven people in a row, standing in four rows! ”

Under Niu Gao's command, twenty-eight people stood in four rows in a chaotic manner.

"An army, if it is not disciplined, is a headless fly! From now on, train first: Walk! ”

Twenty-eight people looked at Zong Shu, and then looked at Niu Gao, what did this young master say? Training to walk? Does this still need training?

Niu Gao stared at a pair of bull's eyes, and the twenty-eight people immediately raised their chests and raised their heads.

"Listen to my command, I shout one, everyone take a step forward, I shout two, everyone take another step forward. Striding hard is the equivalent of stomping your feet! ”

After Zong Shu finished speaking, he made a demonstration.

The people selected by Niu Gao were of good quality and understood very quickly, and after a while, everyone's steps and strength reached an agreement.

"What I want to tell you is, don't underestimate your footsteps, as long as you have the same steps, even the bridge can collapse."

Zong Shu remembered that when he was in junior high school physics, his teacher told an example of a group of British soldiers crossing a bridge with neat steps, causing the bridge to resonate and collapse.

From then on, the British army stipulated that as long as the bridge was crossed, it was not allowed to unify the pace, and the pace should be changed to avoid resonance and destruction of the bridge.

The forbidden army who is training pace, someone has already snickered, this young master, as if it were true, can step on the bridge when he walks?

"One!" Zong Shu drank again.

Twenty-eight people, four columns, stepped forward in one step, and suddenly, a sergeant in front of him fell!

The sergeant stepped out of a hole in the ground and plummeted straight down!

In the exclamation, Niu Gao's eyes were quick, and he pulled the sergeant up.

The sergeants also ignored the formation and leaned into the corner.

The pit had widened a bit, and it was the size of two pots.

When everyone looked at Zong Shu, they were all shocked: I really let him speak, take a walk, and trample the ground down!
