Li Hong followed Yan Liben to the front of the main hall of Daming Palace, and a huge wooden pillar was even beyond his imagination. I saw a huge pillar that was fifteen zhang long and could barely be hugged by three or four people at the bottom of the steps.

"Lord Yan, don't tell me it's this giant pillar!" Li Hong asked.

Yan Liben heard the shock in Li Hong's mouth, the old man was a little embarrassed, coughed and said, "Prince Yingming, this is the one in front of you." ”

I'm a wise fart, if I'm wise, I shouldn't have come with you, this fucking with the conditions of the current era, even if you do it yourself, I'm afraid it will take some time.

"Lord Yan, you're really joking, I haven't offended the Ministry of Works recently, have I? Why are you pulling me, pulling me, you think my father won't be angry? Li Hong touched the huge pillar that was almost on his shoulder, and thought for a long time, but he didn't come up with a solution to this problem in a short period of time.

"What about the boulder you spoke of? Don't tell me it's the one I'm stepping on, it's a whole floor, not a boulder. Li Hong looked at the boulder ten zhang square under his feet and asked, and the feeling of being pitted came spontaneously.

"The prince is wise, that's right, it's this boulder." Yan Liben's old face also said embarrassedly.

"No, it's ...... How did you transport it, why didn't you cut it and transport it again? Li Hong asked.

"Back to the prince, if this boulder is cut, it will destroy the integrity and beauty, in order to build my Tang Dynasty century-old cause, it is natural to keep improving."

"And that's how you got it?" Li Hong asked repeatedly.

"Does the prince know that there was a strategist under Cao Mengde back then, named Lou Gui?" Yan Liben pretended to be mysterious and asked with a smile.

Li Hong nodded thoughtfully and said, "Lou Zibo offered a plan to splash water and freeze and build the city wall overnight, and you used the splashing water and ice to transport the boulders, but is this the case?" ”

"The prince is wise, that's exactly the case, and the person who casts this spell is a descendant of Lou Gui, Lou Yu." Yan Liben beckoned to a craftsman not far away, only to see a man about fifty or so walking over.

"Lou Yu has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Yan."

"Shiyun soil splashes water, compared to the dawn, the earth city has been completed. Ma Chao led the troops to look at it, was shocked, and called for divine help. But so? Li Hong said.

"Prince Xie praised." Lou Yu bowed and saluted.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try. Mangzhong, let Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren go to Daming Palace immediately. Li Hong turned his back to Mangzhong and said.

Watching Mang Chong leave, Yan Liben said suspiciously: "These two are students of Chongwen Pavilion?" ”

"Yes, it's the students of Chongwen Pavilion, let's see if they have a more feasible way." Li Hong knew in his heart that his ideas would be more or less extreme, and even destroy the pattern that had been built.

And the method he knows, Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren also know, but he has no talent in this area, and he has no foundation in this area, so when encountering this kind of difficulty, perhaps only people like Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren who have a foundation and advanced technology concepts can think of the best of both worlds.

And these are exactly what Li Hong has been teaching to the Chongwen Pavilion, including those craftsmen in the forbidden area of Taiyi City, is to use all the knowledge he knew in his previous life to point out the door of inspiration for all disciplines, and then let them use the existing scholarship as the basis to slowly open a way to the knowledge avenue that he gave them.

In this way, no matter which way it is, there will be no technical fault, and the complete technical reserve can be made for the next step of pioneering and innovation.

Take glass as an example, I just taught hard work how to make it and what to use to make it, but the next ratio is basically worked out by the two of them, so that today's glass is the size of the floor-to-ceiling window in the previous life.

Although this process is relatively slow, at least it can make everyone understand the properties of all substances, and solidify all the basic knowledge of making glass, at least without causing a break in glass technology, so that they have a complete system.

And in this way, he deliberately gave them a small ten years of development. During this period, neither the countries of the Western Regions, nor the Goryeo and Wa kingdoms had access to this technology.

But on the other hand, even if they keep it secret, it will accelerate their curiosity about glass and intensify their desire to refine glass on their own. This will give them the opportunity to stock up on glass technology, and it will allow them to do all the technical reserves step by step.

Therefore, after working hard to develop the glass process for more than ten years, I sold the glass to them, firstly, I can make a lot of money in the past few years, and secondly, I can effectively curb them from developing their own technology.

Even if one day, they can make the same glass process as the current Datang, but it will become more difficult for them to develop further, because their process technology reserves are not enough, and if there is a fault in the technology, they still need to do it all over again.

And now the Taiyi City Medicinal Restaurant, which he values the most, Li Hong has adopted the same method, but the level of secrecy has reached the highest level, and outsiders will never be allowed to know.

That is to give them the most basic production of gunpowder, and then let them continue to develop and develop on this basis, and finally achieve solid development from the most basic gunpowder technology in accordance with the historical development trajectory.

What I provide is nothing more than a hundred years or two hundred years earlier than the prototype of gunpowder. According to this law, I am just in this life, putting the foundation developed by future generations in front of me a hundred years in advance, and leading this era as a whole, so that there will be no fault and development stagnation, and the benefits to Datang can be much stronger than directly taking out the best that you can do.

What you want to build is a real great craftsman who can support Datang's industry, economy, military and so on! It can make Datang far ahead of the pure elite craftsmen of other countries in all industries!

Li Hong believed that Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren could solve this problem completely independently, but obviously, Yan Liben didn't think so.

Yan Liben stroked his gray beard and thought for a while and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, forgive the words of the minister, I'm afraid this method is difficult to do." Before the minister invited you to come over, the Hongwen Pavilion and the Guozijian, and even the Tang students who were stranded in the Tang Dynasty in the last period, the ministers all called over to see it, and none of the people could come up with an effective method, is your Chongwen Pavilion ....... ”

"Just try it, by the way, Lord Yan, why don't you do it, what if my student puts it on the shelf, I know that Master Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng lost "Changing Goose Stickers" to you back then, or how about you use "Changing Goose Stickers" to bet with me once?"

Yan Liben was shocked, his beard trembled and he took a few steps back in shock, and said in a trembling voice: "Tai...... How did the prince know that the "Huang Tingjing" was in the hands of his ministers? ”

This has always been a secret, when he made a bet with Wei Zheng, after Wei Zheng lost, he listened to the words of his brother Yan Lide, and asked for this Wang Xizhi's handwritten "Huang Ting Jing", this matter has never been mentioned to anyone, and now when the prince asked, he was naturally shocked.

"The historian said it." Li Hong said lightly: "Others don't know, but it doesn't mean I don't know, there are still some historians in the emperor's grandfather, so I have nothing to talk to them, so I know, it's very simple." ”

Yan Liben looked at Li Hong's harmless eyes, and there was always a sense of uneasiness in his heart, but he looked at the project that was about to be postponed, sighed in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the minister will make a bet with the prince, but what if you lose, the prince?" ”

"Do you know who Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" is in the hands of?" Li Hong threw a big bait.

Yan Liben said in disbelief: "Impossible, it is a cherished thing of the first emperor, I am afraid that even His Majesty has not been able to see the real thing, how can you have it?" ”

"Grandpa Huang is gone, who do you say you will leave this thing with? Didn't you give it to my father? Do you remember when my father made a bet with me in the Linhu Palace? Li Hong asked with bright eyes.

"Of course the minister remembers, it was indeed His Majesty who lost that time, and you also made this better glass for Datang, which is now used in Daming Palace. Is it ...... that you and Your Majesty are gambling money? Yan Liben's eyes began to become fiery, shining, and he didn't look old at all.

Yan Liben is good at craftsmanship, attacking calligraphy and painting, Xiao architecture, what makes people a household name is now collected in the Taiji Palace's "Bu Yuan Tu", painted in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Taizong met the scene of Lu Dongzan, the Tibetan envoy who married Princess Wencheng.

The bait thrown by Li Hong is enough to have a huge magic power for people like Yan Liben who regard calligraphy and painting as their lives.

The two of them smiled, as if they had seen each other's treasures and had entered their own pockets.

Liang Xiaoren and Yu Wenrong rushed over, with a trace of nervousness and excitement in their expressions, and after saluting Li Hong, Li Hong pointed to the giant tree and said: "Erect it on the beam, if you can't put it up, you will stand outside Jiafumen for seven days with the sign." ”

"Huh?" The two of them were shocked when they heard Li Hong's punishment, standing for seven days? Will there be a face to see people after that?

"And this little stone under your feet, and send it up the steps. Since you know the serious consequences of not being able to do it, then I will give you three days, and if you can't do it, seven days is only the beginning of the punishment. Li Hong warned with a relaxed demeanor.

Yan Liben looked at the frightened expressions of the two, thinking that the two of them had nothing to do about the difficulties in front of them, so he joked: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made a bet with the old man, if you can't do it, His Royal Highness will lose a very important treasure to the old man, so ah, you'd better do your best." ”

After Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren finished speaking, they began to stare at the huge wooden pillar in front of them, and they listened to Yan Liben's words a little bit, only knowing that the prince had made a bet with others, and they didn't care what the bet was, what they cared about was how they would punish them if the prince lost!

"Okay, Your Highness, two days, as long as you give the students two days, the students are guaranteed to do it!" Yu Wenrong obviously already had an idea in his heart.

"Ah......? Can you do it with such a large giant tree intact? Hearing the words of the two students, Yan Liben's eyes almost darkened, and he almost fainted.

How is this possible, the problem that plagues Guozijian, Hongwenguan and other Hongxue Confucianism and capable people, two teenagers who are no more than fifteen or sixteen dare to swear such a promise!
