The situation in the world is not something that the emperor can stop and change by scolding a few officials and scribes.

Soon in the splendid and prosperous Shu capital city, Zhongshu ordered Wei Gao to train musicians and dancers from the Bi Kingdom and Nanzhao to produce "Nanzhao Fengtian Music", using enough 8864 people to sing and dance in the courtyard, Wei Gao appreciated it, and improved it, and declared that this music and dance would soon be entered into Beijing with the two taxes, in order to celebrate His Majesty's Christmas, and seal the needs of Zen Huashan.

And Du You of Lingnan Guangzhou was not idle, he asked Annan to protect Zhang Zhou and the Qing Navy to know the soldiers and horses to make Meng Zhun together, gather fifty big ships, plus two thousand soldiers, boatmen, chiseled through the operation of the "Tianwei Trail", this project is accompanied by fantasy and mysterious color, Du You, who likes Taoism, said that the reason why the ships of Tianwei Trail capsize more often, in addition to the reef, there are frequent lightning strikes, and Leizhou is the hometown of Thor, and Thor's hometown must be made to stop harming the world, and help me split the reef.

At this time, a Taoist priest named Fu Yuanqi appeared in Annan, claiming that he could subdue thunder, and improved the divine thunder scripture of the female refiner Wu Cailuan, Du You used heavy gold to snared him, this Fu Yuanqi first came to Leizhou by boat, hit the big bronze drum of the Yellow Cave in front of the Thunder God Temple, and angrily reprimanded the thunder god for endangering the sea route, white incense, not the sky was full of dark clouds in an instant, thunder and lightning were great, but Fu Yuanqi was not only not afraid, but made the magic weapon hit the thunder and lightning, and for a time the sound shook the four fields: the villagers saw that the thunder god was actually hit by the magic weapon of Fu Yuanqi and fell to the ground, and wanted to escape, But he was caught by Fu Yuanqi, and it turned out that the prototype of Thor was actually a black pig, with blue and white fangs, and there were "even drums" and "thunder cars" used for thunder beside him, all of which were obtained by Fu Yuanqi.

Then Fu Yuanqi sent the drum and the thunder car to Zhang Zhou and Meng Zhun, and the Tang army used this magic weapon to thunder and open up the "Tianwei Path", and then Du You's document presented to the imperial court described how the thunder and lightning smashed the giant reef blocking the ship: "Between the moon, it seems to want to shine, but the middle two places are worth the huge rocks. It is as hard as iron, and it is unabscular. Chisel down the blade roll, axe handle folding. The servants look at each other, their anger is frustrated, and they can't use their tricks. Suddenly the clouds are rising, the wind is angry, peeking at the forest, and looking at the palm like a blind. The Russian thunder and phosphorus lightning, from the place of the stone, the earthquake was hundreds of miles, and the servants were all frightened, covering their eyes. Shift the time and look at the four borders. The crowd rushed to inspect it, and its difficult stone was shattered. Or there are those who are thundering, those who fall, and those who can't lift them, all of them are grabbed by thunder and thrown at the ears of the two peaks! ”

In the past, when Gao Yue excavated the reefs of the Hanchuan River and the Jinger Dangerous Beach, he still adopted the method of chiseling with a red-hot iron cone to heat the boulders, and then pouring vinegar or water cracking stones, but Du You used "thunder and phosphorus lightning" this time to easily smash the reef the size of a mountain.

But of course Du You will not tell the truth, he needs to add mythology to his exploits, because the slang of Annan and the Li people of Qiongya especially worship the god of thunder, especially the Li people, they all think that they are the descendants of the snake eggs eaten by the god of thunder, first in Du You can shoot down and control the thunder and lightning, since then the people of both places are afraid of Du You like a god, dare not rebel again. The entire sea route from Annam to Qinlian, Leiya and Guangzhou was as straight as a string, and the throughput of 10,000 ships was Antai, and soon the throughput of the barbarian and the Fan ship was doubled.

The proud Du You also put the incarnation of the thunder god, that is, the black pig in the car, and sent it to Chang'an City for the emperor's sealing of Zen.

As for the Taoist Fu Yuanqi, Du You wrote to Gao Yue in Yangzhou, saying that he was willing to send it to him as a staff member and give him Huanwang Daolai, but the condition was to exchange Gao Yue's digging army, cooperate with the new divine thunder gunpowder produced by Lingnan, and then open the Ling Canal to communicate the trade routes between Lingnan and Hunan, Eyue and Xichuan.

"Will you refine gold and silver?" In the autumn, Fu Yuanqi who came to Yangzhou Mansion by boat across the sea, saw the mighty Huainan Jiedu envoy Gao Yue in the mansion, and the other party saw himself and asked this.

"If the refining can be successful, the five thousand diggers will lend Du You and Li Xun free of charge, and all the money and food they need will be from the Dao. As for the refiner, you will be the guest of honor in the palace from now on, and this way will set up a palace for you, and you can concentrate on recruiting disciples and studying the science of refining, and then this knowledge will be called chemistry. ”

Fu Yuanqi immediately pinched his fingers and replied, "It's completely okay, just ask Gao Weigong to build a refining furnace for me, and then build a gold furnace, and prepare all the charcoal, willow charcoal, and lead."

Gao Yue nodded, and then asked Cai Fengyuan to prepare.

Three days later, the generals and wingmen gathered in the backyard of the military palace to watch Fu Yuan's deed refining platinum.

Among them, Han Yu's demeanor was particularly complicated, because Gao Yue had previously warned him not to attack the talisman refiner, as long as the other party could refine the platinum gold, it would be the function of giving birth to others, and it would never be within the scope of you shouting and killing.

Groups of sergeants brought in baskets of "reef sand" and lead, which were excavated from Fujian's silver pits, but why didn't Fujian refine it itself? The reason is very simple, Zheng Qi got Hu Shang's mountain blasting technique (first in this technique was also understood by Du You) and an iron cylinder fire oil technique (an iron cylinder that can breathe fire and burn the ship), but Zheng Qi did not get the method of refining platinum, so Zheng Shuze, who is now in the post of Fujian Observation Envoy, dug up a lot of silver-containing sand, but could not refine it, so he was so anxious that he could only load it on the ship, set off from Quanzhou Port, and sent it to Gao Yue.

Fu Yuanqi told the sergeant in advance that the sand should be washed clean, leaving only large pieces of "reef" and fine "sand".

The bottom of the refining furnace was covered with broken porcelain, and Fu Yuanqi said that it was just right to send two stones of reef sand and lead, and then use two stones of charcoal to pile up on all sides of the reef sand, all in the furnace.

On the watchtower of the Tooth Soldier Courtyard, the ladies chattered, and saw that a wall had been built behind the stove, behind which there was a bellows, and four strong soldiers of the Wuyi Army were responsible for pulling the bellows, and the wall just isolated the bellows, the people and the burning fire.

The bellows twitched, the fire was blazing, and the sound of charcoal popping was endless, and Gao Yue and the others couldn't take their eyes off it.

After the fire gradually burned out, Fu Yuanqi commanded the sergeant to use an iron hook to hook out "lumps" from it.

"Wei Gong, silver is in the fire, first fused with lead, so that impurities are removed, and these clumps are called silver-lead camels."

Gao Yue nodded, and said that the meaning of the silver-lead camel was that there was only silver and lead in this lump, and there was no other substance mixed with it.

"Yes, yes." Fu Yuanqi hurriedly replied.

Then the next step is to separate the silver from the lead in the silver and lead camel, so that the silver is silver and the lead is lead.

This is the "duty" of the gold furnace, this furnace also has a bellows agitation, the belly is covered with willow charcoal, grass ash, Fu Yuanqi called it "ash pool", with this ash pool, you can "sink lead and silver".
