Pei Min was also a little surprised when he saw that no one spoke. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

How did he know that "himself" was no longer what it used to be.

In the early years, there was also a Yao Chong who suppressed him in terms of credit, and now Song Jing, although he is outstanding, is not as strong as Yao Chong, and he has only been the prime minister for a year and a half.

Although his political merits are outstanding, they are far inferior to Pei Min's military exploits.

Today's Pei Min is no longer the hairy boy of the past, but the most powerful in the Tang Dynasty, and the only feudal official who holds the local military and political power.

With this identity, his true status is not weaker than that of several prime ministers in this temple.

Combined with the original "evil deeds", this is not a wise move to conflict with him head-on.

Especially Li Longji seems to have persuaded Pei Min, Pei Min's thoughts are wild, and what he does is often unexpected. And many things, I have to admit that what he thinks is more long-term, and often achieves more convenience for Datang.

They were very jealous of Pei Min's "high-minded thinking", and they didn't dare to express their opinions before he opened his mouth.

Even Lu Huaishen, who has a deep prejudice against Pei Min, is also calculating the pros and cons in his heart at the moment, sorting out his words: if you want to "reason" with a powerful character like Pei Min, if you don't have adequate preparation, you will only bring humiliation on yourself.

He has suffered several losses and humiliations, and he does not dare to act rashly.

Seeing that no one said anything, Pei Min put away his thoughts about teaching the frog at the bottom of the well, and said: "Although the project of opening Longshan Mountain and repairing Wusheling is large, it is actually far less than building water conservancy and diverting water to repair canals. The difference between the two is the construction of water conservancy, which is faced with dirt and earth blocks, and rarely has hard rock. The granite and basalt in the Longshan and Wusheling mountains are extremely difficult to excavate and mine. To open Longshan Mountain and repair Wusheling Mountain, the biggest problem is the granite and basalt ......"

Zhong Wenchen couldn't help nodding, I don't know what Pei Min meant by this? Why do you expose your shortcomings?

Granite and basalt are among the hardest stones known in the world, and sharp weapons are difficult to hurt. Whether it is repairing bridges and paving roads or excavating foundations, the most taboo is to encounter granite and basalt, but if encountered, it will greatly affect the construction progress. In particular, the huge rock that is difficult to bear the weight requires manpower to break the stone little by little with a large hammer and an iron drill bit.

Longshan and Wusheling Ridge only God knows which side of the high ridge, how many of the dangerous land inch by inch are difficult to deal with granite and basalt, if you want to open the mountain and build the ridge, how easy is it?

Someone was about to open his mouth to echo and speak, but when he heard Pei Min's voice, there was a reversal.

"In other words, as long as the problem of granite and basalt can be solved, it will be much easier to open Longshan Mountain and repair Wusheling Ridge, right?"

Pei Min is not selling Guan Zi here: "I read an ancient book in the past year, and the ancient book recorded a recipe called black powder. Even in solid granite and basalt, as long as the amount of black powder is sufficient, it can be split into pieces of crushed stone that is easy to carry. ”

"This ......" Song Jing, the first prime minister of the dynasty, is a well-educated man in the world, a powerful character who entered high school at the age of seventeen, but at this time, he looked at Pei Min like listening to a book from heaven.

Wang Ju, the head of the household, also looked at Pei Min in disbelief and said, "Gunpowder, I've heard of it." Black powder? The prince of the country asks for forgiveness and is lonely and unheard, but he doesn't know what it is, and I don't know what the relationship between the two is? It's just a black word added, and the power is so different? ”

Gunpowder was available in the Qin and Han dynasties, because it was conducive to combustion, and was also used in military and people's livelihood.

However, the power of gunpowder was extremely low, and it was constantly developed. For nearly a thousand years, people's understanding of gunpowder was limited to firecrackers, poles and some gadgets used in acrobatics. Except for smoke and fire, it has no power at all.

Black powder and gunpowder, the difference is only one word, it really makes people feel that black powder is very powerful.

Baiguan is not Li Longji, and there are many people who have a little blind trust in Pei Min and question him in a low voice.

Especially Lu Huaishen couldn't help but say: "The old man has read a lot of books, read all the ancient books in the world, and has never heard of any black powder!" I've heard of gunpowder, but how can this frolicking and juggling thing open mountains and cracks rocks? ”

If someone else said this, Pei Min would consider his mood and whether to go back.

Since it was Lu Huaishen who spoke, Pei Min didn't want to think about it and said: "I don't even know black powder, and I dare to boast that I have read all the ancient books in the world?" If you don't have any knowledge, you also come to show off. Did you not eat, you were hungry, or did you eat too much? ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he insinuated that he pointed to the reputation of "the prime minister with food".

All the ministers couldn't help but look at them sympathetically.

The stain of this "accompanying prime minister" is only afraid that he will follow him for a lifetime.

"You ......" Lu Huaishen blushed, he had been working hard all these years to make a name for himself. also had certain results, but he didn't want to let Pei Min point it out.

As the saying goes, "Hitting people doesn't slap their faces, and exposing people doesn't expose their shortcomings", but Pei Min doesn't have so many taboos here.

On the contrary, I feel that if I want to quarrel with someone, only by poking at the other party's sore spot can it be effective, otherwise I will become a shrew scolding the street.

"That's it! This is a court, not a place for bickering! Li Longji spoke at the right time to stop their quarrel.

Pei Min looked at Li Longji and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces and said: "Pei also knows a lot of things, seeing is believing, and hearing is false." What is the power of gunpowder, please also ask Your Majesty to move the infantry department, and a certain person will personally demonstrate with you, and it will be obvious whether it is true or false at that time. ”

Li Longji did not hesitate and said: "Anyway, there is nothing important today, so it is better to retreat from the dynasty." Let's go to the military headquarters together, and I am also very curious. What is the black powder in Pei Aiqing's mouth......"

Li Longji made such a decision, and all the civil and military ministers naturally had no objections, and they also showed curiosity.

People are full of curiosity about new things.

There is no doubt that the black powder in Pei Min's mouth has aroused the interest of everyone in the temple.

Headed by Li Longji, a group of temple bosses who are in charge of the world's power, walked towards the military headquarters.

The family with five surnames is not as good as before, and only Lu Huaishen is the only one in the wealthy family in the past, even if he is not very famous, the family still puts him first.

Cui Yuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, came to Lu Huaishen's side and said softly: "Lu Xiang, do you say that the black powder in Pei Min's mouth really has the power to open mountains and crack stones?" Even stones like granite and basalt can burst apart? ”

Lu Huaishen snorted contemptuously and said, "Do you believe his words? ”

Cui Yuan shook his head, then nodded again, and said blankly: "Logically speaking, there should be no such divine thing in this world as Guogong said. It's just that the prince seems to be full of confidence, and if there is a fake, it is a bully. Bullying the king in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, no matter how much His Majesty trusts him, it is impossible to turn a blind eye and not punish him. Among them, I am afraid that there is a big reason. ”

Lu Huaishen still looked contemptuous, but he couldn't help but feel tight in his heart, if he didn't rely on it, did Pei Min really have the courage to bully the king?

Is there really a god that opens the mountain and cracks the rock, or is there some kind of obscuration?

No, it can't be a fetish!

There is really a record of black powder in this ancient book, even if he can't see it, there are thousands of people in the world, is no one looking at it?

Someone really has to see it, why is there no word of black powder in the world?

This must be fake, just like crushing a boulder in your chest and fishing for coins in a pan, it looks terrifying and amazing. In fact, as long as you know the trick and understand the mysteries, everyone can do it.

It must be so!

Lu Huaishen really didn't believe that Pei Min, a hairy child, could find any artifacts from any ancient book.

Pei Min is famous all over the world, who doesn't know his birth?

An abandoned son of the Pei family has not turned over and established his status until recent years.

Even if Pei Min now has the right to read the ancient books handed down by the Pei family, what can he do?

The Pei family's collection of books, can it still hurt their Lu family?

In the end, the Pei family is just a second-rate wealthy family, where can they compare with their five surnames?

How did he know that black powder was something that Pei Min brought from the 21st century.

If Pei Min said that what he studied was too sensational, he used ancient books as an excuse.

Pei Min didn't expect that he just said it casually, but he put Lu Huaishen in.

The royal driver arrived at the military department, and a group of people entered the military department, and the soldier who was responsible for making the rammed earth house came forward to greet him with a little nervousness.

The military department plays a pivotal role among the six departments, but the situation of the military department is special. Under normal circumstances, the emperor would not come to the military department specially, and even if there was a military matter, the people in the military department would go to the palace to find the emperor.

The lower-level officials of the military department of the six ministries were the most difficult department to meet the king, but today Li Longji came to the military department, and the officials at the top and bottom were fortunate enough to see the face of the sky, and they were all nervous and excited.

Wai Lang, a member of the military department, said in a loud voice: "In accordance with Your Majesty's orders, the minister has repaired a hut by building a city wall, please check it out to Your Majesty." He stepped aside and pointed to a room on the school grounds that wasn't a house.

The four sides are made of rammed earth, which is topped with rammed earth, and there is only a small door for one person to enter and exit, and there is a large vent with a bowl mouth.

"You can go and try it, this rammed earth hut is not strong, so as not to say what I did afterwards!"

Pei Min said generously.

Li Longji saw that none of the officials had moved, and said, "If you don't go, I'll go!" As he spoke, he strode forward and tried the thickness of the rammed earth hut, and couldn't help but worry about Pei Min.

Rammed earth is a tightly structured clod of soil that has been beaten thousands of times and compacted layer by layer, and its hardness is no less than that of stone.

Let the military department build a sturdy hut, which is also too strong, thick and the size of a palm, and can't help but stare at the innocent soldier Wailang with a little dissatisfaction.

Lu Huaishen was even more nervous and carefully checked every place, knocking here and touching there, but he couldn't find any mistakes, so he gave up.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Pei Min asked people to withdraw from Baizhang, stored all the black powder into the house, and carefully closed the door.

A hundred steps away, he ignited the rocket, bent his bow and aim, and did it in one go.

With a "whoosh" arrow, the rocket drilled into a small hole as if it had eyes.
