Pei Min's words made a group of Fang Shi look at each other. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

They have been dealing with gold and stone items such as saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal for many years.

I have encountered a violent reaction when gold and stone converge. And even try to take measures to control its reaction speed, which is the so-called ambush. Even so, accidents caused by fires in Danfang due to drug fires have occurred from time to time.

What they did was to suppress the violent reaction, and now Pei Min asked them to expand the violent reaction a hundred times, and there were more or less things in their hearts that they could understand.

In fact, gunpowder was also invented by them inadvertently, and there were records of alchemists burning saltpeter gunpowder in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the direction they sought was to ask the immortals and ask, and they didn't care, and there was no further development.

To let them develop in this direction is actually the opposite.

They have not studied, but they know what they are proficient in.

When they think about it, they all think that there is something to be done. looked at Qing Xuzi in unison, Qing Xuzi's seniority was like the head of everyone, waiting for his reply.

Qingxuzi unexpectedly did not come out, but lowered his head and groaned.

Everyone saw that Qingxuzi seemed to have objections, and they couldn't help but hesitate in their hearts.

At this time, a person came out of the column and said loudly: "Since the prince of the country is for the world, for the people of Longyou." Although the poor road is an outsider, he is willing to contribute and is willing to serve. ”

His name is Gu Hongzi, and his identity is also extremely noble, second only to Qing Xuzi, seeing that Qing Xuzi is unwilling to come forward, he volunteered to take on such a heavy responsibility.

Taoism is based on helping the common people, and it is a great merit to be able to help tens of thousands of people in Longyou. Yu Xunxian asked, there is a big advantage. Although I don't know why Qing Xuzi didn't come out, he didn't want to miss such an opportunity and took on this task.

When everyone saw that there was a leader, they thought that if this matter was successful, they would go down in history and become immortal figures like Ge Hong and Tao Hongjing, and they agreed one by one.

Pei Min looked at Qing Xuzi thoughtfully, Qing Xuzi's eyes were a little vague, but seeing that everyone agreed, he followed the promise.

Pei Min was so alert in his mind, knowing that Qing Xuzi must have other thoughts, he didn't break it first, and took the six people to their respective residences.

If the research and development of black powder is successful, these six monks will be the pioneers, and Pei Min does not intend to treat them badly, and uses more than 3,000 people from the Shence Army to personally mine trees to build a residence for the six people, as well as a test site for them to make gunpowder in alchemy.

The materials used are all high-quality wood, and all the decoration is simple and elegant. The house is also equipped with tea cakes and incense, which can be described as all-encompassing, suitable for the Taoist self-cultivation environment.

For Pei Min's intimate arrangement, Gu Hongzi and the others couldn't stop nodding, very satisfied.

Pei Min sent the five people except Qingxuzi to his residence one by one, and finally sent Qingxuzi to his room.

Without waiting for Qingxuzi to say goodbye, Pei Min took the lead and smiled: "Qingxu Dao Chief can be convenient to chatter?" ”

Qing Xuzi bowed slightly and said, "The prince is only the master here, and the poor Taoist is as the master does." ”

Pei Min didn't care about Qing Xuzi's birth, strode into the house, lit the incense independently, then took the tea cakes, and skillfully soaked the vegetables.

He is a fond of tea and is very skillful in his technique, sometimes with the smell of minty tea and incense to fill the house.

Qingxuzi couldn't help but move his index finger, and exclaimed: "I have heard for a long time that Pei Guogong loves tea tasting, which has brought the atmosphere of tea tasting in the world, but I don't want the tea art to be so exquisite......

"Practice makes perfect!" Pei Min said humbly and handed over the brewed tea.

Qingxuzi tasted the aftertaste and praised: "The tea is good, the craftsmanship is better!" Guogong was so hospitable that Poor Dao was a little flattered. ”

Pei Min is now in a very high position, and his behavior is becoming more and more powerful, so he said directly to the point: "I seem to have another opinion on black powder for a while, and now there are only you and me, why don't you speak up?" ”

Qing Xuzi paused and said, "Guogong's intention to make black powder is really to open up mountains and cultivate mountains?" ”

"Of course!" Pei Min replied without hesitation: "At present, what the people of Longyou need most is to open up Longshan, repair Wusheling Ridge, and connect Guanzhong and Liangzhou as a line, and only black powder can achieve this goal while reducing the consumption of people's manpower as much as possible." ”

Qing Xuzi said solemnly: "The Duke of Guo has never thought of using black powder for military purposes? ”

Pei Min was moved at first, and then said with great joy: "Qingxu Dao Chang knows no less than me!" I am not afraid to tell the truth and know that black powder is a great benefit to the people, and the army is also a great benefit, and it is indispensable to use it in the military. ”

Qingxuzi nodded silently and said: "Guogong really believes in people, if Guogong says that it is not used in the military, he will look down on the poor road." How powerful the black powder was, Poor Dao didn't know. But Poor Dao had learned a lesson in the past and almost died for it, so he didn't dare to underestimate the powder particles. Poor Dao's friend Dr. Sun Shenyi also advised Poor Dao not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and not to continue to specialize, so as not to ruin the souls of life. Perhaps Brother Sun had predicted that the birth of black powder would become a major murder weapon for destroying living beings. ”

Pei Min did not deny this, but agreed with it, and said: "When it comes to compassion and compassion, King Sun Yao can be called a bodhisattva. But as Sun Yaowang expected, the present life of black powder is a kind of change. It may not be possible to see it in a hundred years, but a thousand years later, if you look back, you will find that the birth of black powder is a terrible thing. ”

As long as we understand the history of the development of hot weapons, we can say it politely: China's black powder has advanced the process of world history, and it is an epoch-making progress in the history of world weapons, which has brought earth-shaking changes to the entire combat methods among soldiers!

Without black powder, there would be no thermal weapons. All thermal weapons are based on the premise of black powder, and are developed little by little.

Qing Xuzi didn't expect that Pei Min, who was brave enough to kill the deceased, would also say such a thing, and asked, "Since the prince of the country knows this?" Why did you develop this black powder? ”

Pei Min looked at Qing Xuzi in a daze and said: "This is the inevitability of historical development, and it is not something that anyone can control." Even if you and I develop it today, in the near future, black powder will also appear. The progress of the times cannot be stopped by anyone. Since it can't be stopped, why not go with the flow and let black powder play its cause-based value? It can open mountains and build mountains to bring convenience to the people of the world, and it can also destroy cities and villages, and reduce unnecessary harm for our Tang Dynasty soldiers. It can benefit the country and the people, why should we restrict it and stifle its appearance? ”

Qingxuzi was silent.

Pei Min looked at Qingxuzi and said, "The war will not end because of the death of black powder, nor will it end because of the appearance of black powder. The killing is because of human nature and human hearts, and it has nothing to do with black powder. He paused and said: "Do you know that the Taoist does not believe in Buddhism, why do you let Taoism develop, but you are disgusted with Buddhism?" ”

"In my opinion, Buddhism doesn't matter what the teachings are, no matter what the core culture is! Looking at the millennium process, there is a ludicrous picture. Daomen, go down the mountain to save the world in troubled times, and retreat and practice in prosperous times. Buddhism, in troubled times, closed mountains to escape the world, and opened mountains to welcome incense in prosperous times. The teachings of the two religions have the meaning of compassion for the heavens and the people, but who is really attentive to the common people can be seen at a glance. ”

"The Taoist doesn't want to see the heart of the black powder in the world, Pei Min can understand! But Dao Chief, you can't change all this, not even King Sun Yao. Instead of clinging to the ethereal and useless worries, it is better to use your eyes to witness the great benefits that black powder brings to the world! ”

Qing Xuzi smiled helplessly and said: "It can only be like this, I hope that Guogong's future behavior will be worthy of today's words." ”

He didn't really let Pei Min persuade, but he was helpless.

Pei Min already knew the recipe for black powder, and it was only a matter of time before it was concocted. Whether he joins or not does not hinder the birth of black powder, rather than this, it is better to participate in it and see with your own eyes the pros and cons of black powder.

Pei Min was overjoyed and said: "Twenty years later, Qingxu Dao Changbi will not regret today's decision. But I don't know how much the Taoist knows about black powder? ”

Qingxuzi said: "Not more than Guogong, but not less than Guogong!" Thirty years ago, the poor Dao and the Taoist brother Si Miao learned the art of alchemy, Brother Si Miao and the "Dan Jing Inner Sulfur Method" recorded: sulfur, saltpeter each two taels, ground into powder, put in the silver pot, dig a pit, put the pot in the pit and the ground, and fill it with soil on all sides. Use three soap horns to point one by one, put them in a pot, burn sulfur and saltpeter into ashes, and then fry them with charcoal, which is regarded as a fire. This method can eliminate the toxicity of sulfur and saltpeter, and stimulate its medicinal effect. ”

"Poor Dao is convinced by Brother Si Miao's medical skills, but alchemy boasts that it is not inferior to him. The "Danjing Inner Sulfur Method" was improved, with nitrate as the main material, eight taels of nitrate, two taels of sulfur supplemented by three and a half coins of aristolochia, and mixed well. Dig a pit, put the medicine in the tank and level the ground. Put a piece of cooked fire and put it inside...... As a result, it was like a shocking thunderclap, and the ground exploded into a big crater......" As he spoke, he pulled his robe, revealing three shocking scars on his chest, and said, "The fragments of the medicine jar exploded and shot into my body. If it weren't for Brother Simiao's timely discovery, Poor Dao would have already seen Sanqing Dao Ancestor. Poor Dao originally thought it was nitrate, sulfur, and aristolochia, but when he heard Guogong talk about the black powder formula, his heart was suddenly in his heart! The recipes for the fire all contain charcoal, and the reason for the bursting of the medicine jar is not aristolochia, but charcoal, two taels of charcoal. ”

Pei Min's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said: "In this way, as long as eight taels of nitrate, two taels of sulfur and two taels of charcoal, you can make black powder?" ”

Qingxuzi said: "As long as Guogong's formula is good, it will definitely be successful." Even if it can't, supplemented by aristolochia, it shouldn't be bad. ”

Pei Min laughed and said, "The recipe must not be wrong!" He stood up and said, "Thank you for the people of Longyou!" ”

Although they have been experimenting and can also experiment with the formula of black powder, it is far less direct than what Qingxuzi gave.

With Qingxuzi's formula, they didn't need to do superfluous experiments, they only needed to fine-tune the proportions to make the black powder come out in advance!
