Li Zhiying's question knocked Li Longji down, although he was full of praise for the power of black powder, but he himself was not very interested in black powder. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As an emperor, he only needs to know that there is such a thing as black powder. As for how it was made, he didn't have an in-depth understanding, and smiled awkwardly: "This imperial brother really hasn't asked, Jingyuan attaches great importance to black powder, and he hasn't even revealed it to the Ministry of War, after asking the Ministry of War's Ordnance Superintendent to draw up a set of secrecy measures." Only then will the formula be handed over to the Ministry of War for study. This is a matter of secrecy, so can you just look at it? ”

Li Zhiying was unwilling, and the pretty face with the fine blood of the Li family was full of loss.

Li Longji was very distressed when he saw this, and said, "In this way, I will go back and ask Jingyuan for some, and bring them to you to see." It wasn't a thunderbolt either, and Jingyuan called him 'Black Powder'. ”

"Black powder!" Li Zhiying read these three words, her mind was a little lively, she was only because of the fire that year, most of the Yuzhenguan burned down, and she became interested in it, and at this time she couldn't help but think: "Could it be that Guogong also researched black powder because of the accident in Yuzhenguan?" ”

The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt, and today she unexpectedly heard a rumor that Pei Min had attracted a thunderbolt, which blew the rammed earth hut to pieces, and a terrifying black mushroom cloud rose.

This situation and this scene coincided with the explosion of Yuzhenguan back then, and it was the same scene, so she couldn't help but think so.

With a grunt of his eyes, Li Zhiying said: "Brother Huang, my little sister cultivates in Chang'an every day, and she is tired of staying, and she wants to go to Xinglong Mountain to pray for the imperial brother and my Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Longji looked at Li Zhiying and thought more and more strangely, Xinglong Mountain is the first mountain in Longyou, during the Yongshou period of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people of Heming Mountain in Sichuan spread Zhang Daoling's Taoist theory in Xinglong Mountain. Since then, Xinglong Mountain has become the origin of Longyou Taoism, and the incense is prosperous, and it is called "the blessed land of the cave".

But the Taoist culture of Longyou is not as good as Chang'an, Luoyang, and not as good as Zhongnan Mountain, Songshan, Huashan, Wudang Mountain, these famous mountains and rivers, if you want to cultivate the Tao and pray for blessings, why go to Xinglong Mountain?

Besides, his own sister-in-law, what kind of temperament, how can he, who is an elder brother, not know.

Why did Princess Yuzhen become a monk in the first place?

It was not that he longed for Taoism and devoted himself to cultivation, but that the situation was too chaotic at that time, and most of the Li Tang royal family was slaughtered.

At that time, the world was not respected by Li Dan's lineage, and the strength of the Tang Dynasty was particularly worrisome, and Princess Yuzhen, as a collateral princess, had a great chance of being selected to marry and kiss.

Princess Yuzhen and his sister Princess Jinxian originally became Taoist priests in order to avoid harmony.

Princess Jinxian has a bit of Taoism, but Princess Yuzhen Li Zhiying eats, drinks and has fun, is free, and does not look like a monk.

For this reason, the emperor Li Dan also specially approached Li Longji, should he find a husband for Li Zhiying to marry.

Li Longji also thinks it is feasible.

It's just that Li Zhiying himself didn't agree, so the matter was stopped.

Thinking of the sentence "Pei Guogong is out of the palace", Li Longji felt more and more suspicious, thinking of Pei Min's handsome appearance, coupled with his talent in both civil and military affairs, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the words "amazing". If I were a woman, I was afraid that I would be attracted to it. Li Zhiying is adjacent to it, and he has also received the grace of saving his life, maybe?

Thinking of this, Li Longji smiled and said: "If you want to go, go back, go back and repair the book to Jingyuan, let him take care of it, don't make any mistakes." It just so happens that he is going to use black powder to open the mountain, and you can also see it in person in Longyou, which is indeed extremely shocking. ”

Li Zhiying couldn't help nodding and said excitedly: "Little sister also has this meaning, killing two birds with one stone." ”

"Well, it's really a double win!" Li Longji said pointedly.

Li Zhiying ignored it, his mind was full of gunpowder made by Pei Min.

Li Longji had nothing else to think about for a while, except for the feeling that the female university was not left.

Li Zhiying's goal was achieved, and he went happily.

Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi and asked, "What do you think?" ”

How can Colliers say anything? directly said slightly: "Naturally, it is a perfect match, a natural pair." ”

Li Longji laughed: "I think so! ”

**********

Pei Min, who was returning to Longyou non-stop, sneezed inexplicably.

After traveling all the way, he returned to Shanzhou and made Li Longji's latest appointment public.

"Great!" Zhang Jiuling, Yuan Luqian, Li Linfu, Wang Zhilian, Wang Changling and other envoys of the shogunate cheered one after another.

They have been waiting for this news these days. They are also planning to open Longshan Mountain and repair the eternal feat of Wusheling Ridge, but they are not as sure as Pei Min, worried that Pei Min will not be able to convince the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

Now that everything is settled, their hard work these days will be useful.

Pei Min walked up to the top and sat down, smiled at the strategists under his command, and asked, "These days, have you discussed any results?" ”

Zhang Jiuling occupied the position of the mastermind in Pei Min's shogunate, with the highest status, and was the first to go out and say: "After the subordinate went to Chang'an, his subordinates went to Longshan and made a detailed investigation and conversation with the people and hunters near Longshan. Found in the Longshan Mountain, there is a relatively small beast path, leading to an unknown valley. We can follow the animal path and take a slight detour to avoid the peak. This may be a little longer, but the amount of work is reduced by more than 20%. ”

As he spoke, he took out a map from his bosom, on which was drawn a red line, dividing Longshan in two, and in the middle of the red line marked a narrow valley.

Pei Min looked at the map and said happily: "This valley can also relieve us a lot of pressure, Jiuling's shot is extraordinary, and it almost sets the route of our construction." ”

Zhang Jiuling said: "Don't forget the prince, where is so-and-so!" ”

Pei Min suddenly realized that Zhang Jiuling was the fourteenth grandson of Zhang Hua, the prince of Zhuangwu County in the Western Jin Dynasty, after Zhang Liang, the marquis of the Western Han Dynasty, a native of Qujiang, Shaozhou, and the Shaozhou generation during the Tang Dynasty was collectively referred to as Lingnan. Mountains, hills, and terraces crisscross the country, and it can be described as high mountains and steep mountains.

Zhang Jiuling is the first champion of Lingnan, he was born in the mountains since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the mountains.

In history, Zhang Jiuling was excluded by Yao Chong because of the absence of Pei Min, and he had an unsatisfactory life, so he returned to his hometown in a fit of anger.

Faced with the difficult mountain road, Zhang Jiuling asked to open the Da Yuling Road, and was approved. He served as the director of the road opening, personally went to the site to investigate, edged the road, covered the bushes, worked tirelessly, commanded the construction, and repaired the Meiguan Ancient Road.

This Meiguan Ancient Road is also known as the "ancient Beijing-Guangzhou Line" to future generations, which not only made great contributions to the north-south traffic of the Tang Dynasty, but also benefited future generations.

In terms of opening mountains and cultivating mountains, Zhang Jiuling already has outstanding ability.

Pei Min thought of this, and said without hesitation: "The imperial court has sent Lu Xiang, the servant of the Ministry of Works, as the deputy envoy, and I will also appoint you as the deputy envoy, and Longshan will be fully responsible for you and him." ”

Zhang Jiuling said in high spirits: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”

Pei Min continued to ask Xiang Wusheling.

The crowd was silent for a while.

Wusheling is about 30 miles long from east to west, and is known for its steep mountains and dangerous terrain, and there is no shortcut to be found.

Pei Min smiled disapprerovingly: "Since there is no shortcut, then use manpower to force a shortcut." I don't believe it, just a mountain range, it is difficult to defeat our 250,000 people? ”

He paused and said: "First simple and then difficult, I plan to divide the 250,000 laborers into two batches, including 50,000 in Wusheling and 200,000 in Longshan. Wusheling is not in a hurry to attack, with 50,000 laborers as a test, in-depth understanding and exploration, do preliminary repairs, Longshan is the key to our main overcome. ”

Yuan Luqian questioned: "Will it be too wasteful of manpower and material resources to repair 200,000 in Longshan?" Too much manpower and saturation of each position will also affect the progress and cause extravagance and waste. ”

"It's okay!" Pei Min beckoned everyone to the front and said: "We can use the method of sectional construction, you see, this end and one end can be divided into two teams, and then the valley in the middle can also be divided into two teams, 200,000 people, divided into four groups, two by two, connected to each other, and open Longshan in one breath." As soon as Longshan opens, the morale will inevitably be greatly shaken, so we will take advantage of the remaining strength and gather everyone to solve the Wusheling Ridge for me in one go. ”

"Sectional construction!" Zhang Jiuling's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said: "Guogong has used all his manpower and material resources with his skill, this method is feasible!" ”

Pei Min asked everyone to go down and make final preparations.

The appointment of the imperial court was soon issued, and with the strong cooperation of the household department, the people who had been recruited by the imperial court had already begun to go to Longshan and Wusheling.

Lu Xiang, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, came late.

Seeing that Longyou's side was ready, Lu Xiang said to Pei Min apologetically: "Guogong, please forgive me for being late." When passing through Longshan, it took a little time to understand the topography of Longshan. Even if the government has such a sharp weapon as black powder, if you want to open up mountains and build mountains, you need to plan well. This is the opening road map of the mountain that is being studied below, and I also ask the national government to look at it. ”

Pei Min smiled and took the opening map brought by Lu Xiang, and at first glance, if there was no valley discovered by Zhang Jiuling, the opening map drawn by Lu Xiang should be regarded as the best route.

Pei Min, who was quiet, handed the opening map drawn by Zhang Jiuling to Lu Xiang and said, "This is the opening map we have studied, Lu Shilang, please take a look." ”

Lu Xiang took the opening map unexpectedly, looked at it carefully, but his eyes straightened, and he hurriedly put away his arrogance.

He originally thought that Pei Min was just a name, although Pei Min was very good at both civil and military skills, but in the line of opening mountains and cultivating mountains, he should belong to a layman.

In their line of work, the most taboo is even if the layman commands the insider, so I want to be stronger, so as not to fail the feat of the ages and become a laughing stock for the ages.

But the opening map in his hand, whether it is the route or the sectional construction method depicted on it, is extremely clever, where there is a trace of a layman, he hurriedly packed up his attitude, and respectfully said hello to Pei Min and Zhang Jiuling and his party.
