Fifty miles away in the western suburbs, the mountains are green and green, and the peaks are looming in the clouds and mist -- the lush trees and the vast blue sky, and the ethereal wisps of clouds just form an elegant and interesting light ink landscape painting.

At this time, there was a group of people and horses walking in the mountains and forests.

"Stop, stop, is this the road taken by horses, it's clearly walked by people." Li Qi rode on his horse, and his depressed face was unmistakable.

Niu Gao hurriedly said: "Bu Shuai, this is already the best way to go." ”

"I can see this, that's why I say it's the way of people, not of lower animals like horses."

Niu Gao scratched his head, puzzled.

Ma Qiao sighed: "Niu Gao, why are you so ignorant, you don't know Bu Shuai's riding skills, he can't play with four legs at all, this path is wide enough for us, but for Bu Shuai, it is undoubtedly difficult to move an inch." ”

Niu Gao suddenly realized and hurriedly said: "Bu Shuai, I'm really sorry." ”

"I'm sorry."

Li Qi scolded fiercely, and then looked at Ma Qiao angrily and said: "Ma Qiao, when can you learn human words well, Ben Shuai must not spare you this time, don't you like to ride horses, hmph, then Ben Shuai will punish you - you all get off the horse and walk." ”

Ma Qiao rolled his eyes and said, "I know that's the case." ”

The military order is like a mountain.

As soon as Li Qi got off the horse, he threw the reins to Ma Qiao, and he ran towards Yelu Guyi, and said hehehe: "Guyi, I'll help you." Ouch, my day. ”

Before he could say this, Li Qi's feet slipped and he planted forward.

Yelu was quick to see and move, stepped forward and supported him steadily, saving his face, and said worriedly: "Official, you are okay." ”

"Take care of the risk."

Li Qi patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

Yelu wanted to chuckle and said, "I'll help you." ”

That's fine, husbands and wives should support each other. Li Qi put one hand on Yelu's shoulder, smelled a faint fragrance, and was relaxed and happy, and shouted: "Let's go." ”

The group had walked about five miles when suddenly two men in green jumped out from behind two big trees on the side of the road.

Ma Qiao's face tightened, he took a step forward, and shouted, "Who is coming?" ”

Niu Gao hurriedly said: "My own people, my own people." He was afraid that Ma Qiao would rush up and destroy the two men.

The two men clasped their fists and said, "The villain participates in Bushuai."

Li Qi nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

One of the people on the left replied, "Yesterday one or two hunters wanted to go into the mountains to hunt, but we drove them away, and the rest are fine." ”

"Good. Keep up the good work. ”

"Yes."

"Stand down."

In a moment, the two of them were sinking into the jungle again.

Ma Qiao looked stupid and curious: "Bu Shuai, what is going on --- this?" ”

Li Qi said angrily: "I remember telling you earlier where are we going now, right?" ”

Ma Qiao nodded and said, "Yes." You said you were going to a secret military base. ”

"You also know about secret military bases, of course there will be guards,! Stop talking nonsense, let's go. ”

The group walked for about another meal, and the road was full of checkpoints, so that Ma Qiao and Yelu were secretly smacking their tongues. Niu Gao took Li Qi to a secluded place, only to see that surrounded by mountains and in the middle was a small lake, the surface of the lake was wrinkled by the wind, the air was fresh and the scenery was charming.

On the left side of the lake, a group of soldiers were banging and beating, as if they were building some kind of factory.

"What about the craftsmen?" ”

"Oh. Bu Shuai, please come with me. ”

Niu Gao took Li Qi and the others to a cave on the other side of the lake, and Niu Gao said: "Bu Shuai, those craftsmen are preparing inside." ”

"Let's go in and have a look."

As soon as I entered the cave, the light was insufficient, but when I walked inside, the light gradually brightened up, and every short distance, there was a torch on the wall, and there were small holes and paths everywhere.

This cave is extremely strange, in the form of a circle, layer by layer, at the bottom of the cave is an open space, with torches hanging on all four walls, and I can see about 30 people busy on the open space, carrying tables and lifting stools, a small R&D room has begun to scale.

Niu Gao stepped forward and said loudly: "You stop first, the supervisor has come to visit you." ”

Those people hurriedly put down the work at hand and came forward to salute, "The villain has seen the supervisor. ”

Li Qi smiled: "You don't need to be polite, you don't need to be polite. ”

Niu Gao pointed at a middle-aged man in his forties at the front and said, "Bu Shuai, this name is Wu Youcai, he used to be a craftsman in the gunpowder workshop, and he is very familiar with gunpowder. ”

"Good, good." Li Qi said, "Brother Wu---。 ”

Wu Youcai said in fear: "Don't dare, don't dare, the supervisor just asks the villain to be talented." ”

Li Qi ha: "You are so talented. ”

Wu Youcai sighed, and then reacted, and forbade the old man to be red.

Li Qi nodded and said: "You are older than me, I will not suffer if I call you a big brother, so let's appoint you as the supervisor of the gunpowder workshop now." ”

Wu Youcai was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

Li Qi glanced at the rest of the people and said, "First of all, I want to say sorry to you, I'm really sorry for letting you leave the powder shop and work here, and let you suffer." ”

"Your Excellency is serious." Everyone said in unison.

Li Qi sighed and said: "Actually, I don't want you to suffer this, but there is no way, because you will be engaged in the research of a new type of weapon in the future, and this research is also the main research and development object of the Ordnance Supervision in the next three years, or even ten years, its importance is self-evident, it is precisely because it is particularly important, so this official transferred you here in order to be foolproof." Yes, of course, the environment here is not as good as that of the Gunpowder Workshop, and your freedom has been restricted to a certain extent, but if you succeed, this official guarantees that your name will be remembered through the ages, and you will become the most respectable hero of my Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, as for your salary, it has also been increased from the original usual money to ten yuan of money, and your food will be the best and richest in the entire ordnance prison, and you will still receive a salary of five yuan when you are old.

Of course, I also know that you can't buy freedom with a thousand dollars, but in a country of this size, there are some things that have to be done, and you are unlucky, but you are also lucky to be one of them. However, no matter what, I still have to say thank you to you, and this is what I say to you on behalf of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Thank you. ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture to the crowd.

When the craftsmen saw Li Qi bowing to them, they were terrified and hurriedly returned the salute.

Wu Youcai said with a humble face: "Supervisor, we are all small craftsmen, how dare we accept such a big gift from the supervisor." Also, I'm not afraid of your jokes, we are not as great as you say, in fact, the reason why I am willing to come here is because of the ten dollars, we all have family people, the whole family depends on our money, the salary is enough in the past, it is a tight life, if there is ten dollars every month, then our family's life will be much more comfortable, at least food and clothing are not worried, as long as the family lives well, we are content, even if we stay here for a lifetime, it is fine, and there is meat to eat here, I've never had such a good meal in my life. ”

The rest of the people nodded their heads with happy smiles on their faces.

After hearing this, Li Qi looked at this wrinkled face, his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, and he smiled: "No matter what, you are the most respectable people in my Great Song Dynasty, and of course, you will also be the trump card of our weapons supervisor." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Gunpowder is said to be a double-edged sword, if used well, it can make the enemy fearful, but sometimes a small mistake can also break your bones, so you must be cautious when you are engaged in the development of gunpowder, and you must remember that you must not go any way." ”

"The villain remembers the instructions of the supervisor." Everyone said in unison.

Next, under the leadership of Wu Youcai, Li Qi visited the entire cave, and I have to say that this place that Niu Gao is looking for is really good, warm in winter and cool in summer, and there are many caves, which can store food and other materials well. In addition, there is a hole on the side of this hole, which is not as large as this, but there are two exits, which are more ventilated, and it is really good to use it as a powder magazine.

The only thing that worried Li Qi was the torches on the wall, this Nima was studying gunpowder, and this cave had to be lit by torches for twelve hours, which was always a hidden danger.

Therefore, Li Qi instructed Niu Gao not to transport a large amount of gunpowder in at one time, as long as it was enough, and he also added a few explicit regulations to the original gunpowder magazine management system.

After the visit, Li Qi had lunch with these craftsmen before preparing to go back, after all, this is in the mountains, and it will be difficult to leave if it is late.

Li Qi called Wu Youcai aside, took out a small notebook from his arms, handed it to Wu Youcai, and said: "Wu Jian Zuo, this is some of the official's understanding of gunpowder, you take it to see, maybe it will help you a little, if you don't understand, come to me again, yes, I will come again in seven days, you look at it first, if you don't understand it first, write it down first, and I'll explain it to you when I come." ”

Wu Youcai nodded stunned, looking at the small book in his hand, his eyes were full of doubts.

The Song Dynasty was in an era of alternating hot and cold weapons, and the cold weapons of the Song Dynasty can be said to have reached the peak of the realm, if you want to improve again, I am afraid it is very difficult, unless you get more horses, but now it seems that this is almost impossible.

What guns, Li Qi really doesn't understand, if you want him to make guns and cannons, it's too difficult for him, but gunpowder is different, after all, he has studied chemistry, and he understands what reaction principle, this is a trump card in his hand, as for what guns, cannons, he decided to hand it over to these lovely and respectable craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty.
