Chapter 60 Fifty pounds, sixty pounds, eighty pounds
Li Longji was unanimous with all the civil and military officials, and there was no surprise at all, which was all in his expectation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although he trusts Pei Min very much, as a king, and an "outstanding" king, Li Longji also has his own subjective consciousness.
The hundreds of thousands of people in Longyou have become tied up like a cage because of the terrain, which is something that has been witnessed for thousands of years.
But it is not for nothing that no one has ever proposed to break the entire cage.
Especially in the early Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin reproduced the might of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, destroyed countless countries, opened up the Western Regions, and all states came to the dynasty, which benefited Longyou a lot on the Silk Road.
Tang Chu Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and the eldest grandson Wuji, what kind of great is that? There are also characters like Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, and Di Renjie in the period after Gaozong's martial arts, they really can't see the situation in Longyou?
No, it's not that you can't see it, it's that you can't do anything about it.
In order to save tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Longyou people, Datang needs to call hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of laborers, and work hard day by day. The loss pays more, and it is not worth investing at all.
If it's somewhere else, you can take your time!
It's like Shu Dao!
The Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, but now the Shu Road in the Meridian Valley is very comfortable.
That's because during the Wu Zetian period, Di Renjie issued an order, ordering officials in Shuzhong to lead the people to repair Shu Road during the agricultural slack.
Every year, the agricultural leisure time is done, and over time, ten or twenty years, even the officials in Shuzhong are now carrying out this order.
Therefore, the Shu Road in today's Meridian Valley is far easier to walk than the moat that is difficult to climb in history.
But Longyou can't do this, once the construction starts, it means that the road will be blocked by the project, and the people who travel to and from Chang'an and Liangzhou are groups of convoys full of loads.
The mountain road is already difficult to travel, and due to the impact of construction, how can the convoy pass by?
It takes 12 or 10 years to open up mountains and build mountains, which is not in line with the situation of Longyou. But if hundreds of thousands of people are mobilized and want to open mountains and build mountains in a short period of time, what is the difference between Yang Guang and Yang Guang using a whip to force the people to dig the Grand Canal underwater?
The Sui Dynasty was born precisely because the people did not think about the life and death of the people, in order to catch up with the construction period, regardless of it.
The lessons of the past are close at hand, and no one dares or dares to touch this brow.
It is the situation of Longyou, not that it is unknown, but that it can't be done, unwilling to do it, and dare not do it......
Pei Min's proposal was an extremely unwise move in Li Longji's opinion.
However, Li Longji has always been extremely generous to his own people, and he turned a blind eye to Lu Huaishen's accusations, and just said: "I know this matter in my heart, and there is no need to discuss it again!" ā
As he spoke, he put the piece aside, picked up the second piece and began to work on it.
At the end of the court meeting, Li Longji changed into a bulky court robe, looked at the music in Pei Min's hand repeatedly, and said: "Lux, you said that Jingyuan is such a smart person, how could he make such a mistake!" Kailong Mountain, repair Wusheling Ridge This matter is done well, and no one may praise it. If you don't do it well, it will be pointed out by thousands of people, and it will have a great impact on your career. ā
Gao Lishi didn't know how to say it, so he could only say: "People inevitably have confused things, and Guogong is young after all." ā
Li Longji thought about it for a while, and said, "You repair the book for me...... Forget it, let's write it myself......" After that, he personally wrote it, stating the key to it, which also showed the meaning of the civil and military officials, and let people send it to Longyou. At the same time, he also encouraged Pei Min in the letter to have a good heart for the country and the people, but it is just that the matter of opening Longshan and repairing Wusheling is too big, and it is too much to do, so he cannot act cautiously.
Pei Min couldn't have imagined that this matter would cause an uproar in the Manchu Dynasty.
Zhang Jiuling didn't think it was strange, and said: "When the prince and his subordinates discussed opening Longshan and repairing Wusheling Mountain. The subordinates also thought that Guogong was radical, and it was not until they saw the power of black powder that they knew that Guogong was in control of the victory, and everything was under control. If the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty did not see the power of black gunpowder with their own eyes, they were afraid that no one would agree to the opening of the mountains and the construction of mountains by the Duke of Guo. ā
Pei Min got up and said: "Since this is the case, then let the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty see the power of 'high technology', and let them know how stupid and ignorant the frog at the bottom of the well is." ā
Zhang Jiuling smiled bitterly, but his face was hot, not long ago, he heard Pei Min say that he wanted to open mountains and cultivate mountains, so that they could think of a reasonable plan.
Zhang Jiuling still remembers that he jumped out with a red face and tried every means to persuade him, but he almost didn't pick a pick.
It wasn't until he saw the power of black powder that this world-famous minister realized that he was stupid and stupid, and his heart was full of energy.
Once they succeeded, opened up Longshan, and repaired Wusheling Ridge, it would be a feat of merit in the current dynasty and benefit in the future.
At that time, just like Li Bing of Dujiangyan and Zheng Guo of Zheng Guoqu, these great men will go down in history.
For a character like Zhang Jiuling, money and everything is like dung, and they have the world in their hearts. All you need is four words that will go down in history. Let future generations say their names and praise each other.
Pei Min immediately did not hesitate, and explained in detail the record of the discovery of black powder from ancient books, and wrote down the functional significance of its unique mountain cracking stone, and then applied for a demonstration in the court.
It is an iron rule that officials outside Beijing are not allowed to enter Beijing without being summoned.
If Pei Min wants to enter Beijing, he has to apply to Li Longji for permission.
A letter was once again sent to Chang'an!
Li Longji has always wondered in his heart why Pei Min, who has always been wise, would put forward such an almost absurd proposal as "opening Longshan Mountain and repairing Wusheling Mountain", until he received the letter, he knew that he had another reliance, and he was full of curiosity about the miraculous black powder boasted to Pei Min in the letter, and agreed to Pei Min's request to enter Beijing, and in accordance with Pei Min's request in the letter, he built an earthen house similar to a single-person latrine in the martial arts arena of the military department, and built it with the rammed earth of repairing the city wall.
Pei Min came to the Shence Army camp again and found Qingxuzi and Gu Hongzi, who were in charge of researching black powder.
"Two Dao Masters, how is the progress of the black powder? It won't be long before the project of opening Longshan Mountain and repairing Wusheling will be launched. Although the Manchu Dynasty was opposed by both civil and military forces, and even Li Longji rarely stood on his side, he believed that as long as he took out the black powder himself and let them see the power of the black powder, no one would dare to say a word.
Qingxuzi nodded silently.
Gu Hongzi said excitedly: "On the basis of the ratio of Guogong's one-two-three formula, after six days of research and discussion, we gradually controlled the subtle know-how. Gradually, the proportion of saltpeter was increased to 7.5 percent, plus 1 percent sulfur, 1.5 percent charcoal, and the power was even more powerful. ā
"Good!" Pei Min stroked his palms and laughed, "Don't say anything else, you give me fifty catties first, no, sixty catties of black powder, uh, forget it, it's still eighty catties." I have an urgent need, whether I can convince His Majesty to give an order, it depends on these gunpowder......"
