They had a good meal, and in the end, even he couldn't help it, and joined the ranks of the recruits.

And after Du Ruhui finished eating his military rations, he nodded and left on his own.

He was going to report to Li Er, the new military rations worked very well, and the soldiers were very satisfied. Of course, he also brought instant noodles made by Qin Ze, as well as fried vegetables.

He didn't plan to bring the locust powder to Li Er, and he felt uncomfortable even when he ate it himself.

The matter of military rations has been put on the right track, and the soybean oil mill no longer needs Qin Ze. So he was idle for a while, and he began to think about making weapons for Erhu.

Erhu only promised to stay with him for a month, and he had to hurry, but he had also taught Erhu some knowledge these days.

For example, what angle to kill people the fastest, and what route to escape is the safest, in short, Qin Ze taught everything he wanted to the second tiger.

Fortunately, he is a military fan, and he has watched many TV series of this type. Therefore, according to Qin Ze's meaning, it is to train Erhu to be a special soldier who is specifically responsible for assassination.

However, weapons are still the most important, as long as they have an advantage in this, the strength of the two tigers can improve by leaps and bounds.

But after these days of exploration, Qin Ze also came to a conclusion, that is, by himself, it was impossible to get close to the Ordnance Prison, which was the core of the Tang Army.

If you want to let the people in there make weapons, it is impossible without Li Er's consent.

So after hesitating for a few days, Qin Ze finally made up his mind and decided to discuss with Li Er.

Fortunately, Li Er is in a good mood these days because of the military rations. You must know that the locust powder piled up in the warehouse has been turned into military rations, which is a great thing.

However, these days, the fact that locust powder is in the military rations has also begun to spread among the army.

It's not that someone is informing, but some smart people are aware of it.

This rumor is even more powerful when he sees that locust powder is being delivered to the palace every day. And those who had previously eaten military rations also began to hesitate.

At this time, Wei Chi Gong, the general of the right military guard, Cheng Yanjin, the general of the left military guard, and Du Ruhui, the secretary of the military department, were called to him by Li Er.

Li Er's meaning is very clear, that is, to consume this locust powder quickly.

Wei Chigong is not stupid, and naturally he also heard about locust powder in the military rations. So don't want this thing at all.

But there are too many locust powders, even if Zuo Wuwei is allowed to eat all day long, he can't finish it.

"Your Majesty, I heard that this military ration is complicated, and I still don't want it from my right guard, right?" Yu Chigong has the same figure as Xiaota, and he also has a very loud voice when he speaks.

On the other side, Cheng Yanjin was also unwilling to fall behind, and retorted with his throat: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, your right martial guard is going to decide on this thing." ”

Both of them have loud voices, and both of them have saved Li Er. So in front of Li Er, there was not too much restraint, and as soon as his voice opened, it was like thunder.

As long as they speak in the court, it will immediately become like a market. Especially when their voices were so loud that Li Er felt that his head hurt again.

What do these two old guys mean?

Li Er rubbed his head and waved his hand at Cheng Laoyou and Wei Chigong, who were already about to fight, to calm them down, before saying, "The amount of this thing is too much, if it is only given to one person, I am afraid it will be a lot of waste." Besides, Cheng Zhijie and Du Qing have also eaten, but do you think there is anything wrong? ”

Cheng Laoyou and Du Ruhui naturally shook their heads, but Wei Chigong directly pretended not to see it.

The atmosphere of several people became a little awkward for a while, and at this time, the old eunuch Ruan Quan stepped forward and reported that Qin Ze, who had joined the army, asked for an audience.

At this moment, the few people who were still arguing immediately turned their attention to Qin Ze.

Cheng Lao Demon also smiled, and said to Wei Chigong: "General Wei Chi, this locust is this kid's idea to make military food, why don't you ask him?" ”

Li Er also raised his eyebrows, waved his hand and asked Ruan Quan to bring Qin Ze in.

Qin Ze just stepped into the Lizheng Hall like this, but as soon as he stepped in with his front foot, he immediately noticed that something was wrong. The number of people here is a bit large, and the other party obviously looks at him a little strangely.

Especially when he saw Cheng Laoyou's smiling face, Qin Ze couldn't stop chuckling in his heart.

Wei Chigong on the side also looked up at Qin Ze, and found that this kid was born white and pure, and he didn't look like a military person.

But when he thought that it was this kid who made locusts into military rations, Wei Chigong hated it so much. The root of all evil lies in this kid, and without his ghost idea, he doesn't have to worry about locust rations now.

Qin Ze, who was stared at by several pairs of eyes, suddenly felt a little dry in his mouth. After coming in and saluting Li Er and the ministers, he was there without speaking.

Just kidding, at this time he won't speak first. These are all ancestors-like figures, and even Wei Zheng is helpless when he encounters them.

And who can't see the anger on the faces of these big guys, they probably want to rush up and kick themselves.

With a little brainstorming, Qin Ze understood that eighty percent was for the sake of military rations.

However, Qin Ze couldn't figure it out, and Wei Chigong did not know about it in advance. But what does the anger on your old demon Cheng mean?

After being quiet for a moment, Yu Chigong finally couldn't help it anymore and stepped forward from the side. The small tower-like body stood in front of Qin Ze, and he opened it and asked, "Is it you kid who came up with the idea of using locusts as military food?" ”

"I really guessed it myself."

Qin Ze smiled bitterly in his heart, and turned his head to ask Li Er for help, but found that the other party still had a playful expression on his face, and he didn't mean to help speak at all.

Qin Ze couldn't say what was really suffering, he didn't believe that Wei Chigong couldn't guess who was behind all this. He just wanted to vent his frustration.

"General Hui Weichi does have such a thing." What else can Qin Ze do, except for honestly, there is no other way.

"Huh." Wei Chigong sneered twice, nodded at Qin Ze meaningfully and said, "Although this thing is non-toxic and harmless, it is embarrassing in my heart after all, and you let my soldiers eat it." ”

With this basin together, it went around on the heads of different people, and finally on their own heads.

Qin Ze raised his head suddenly, met Wei Chi Gong's eyes, and said in a tone that suddenly became serious: "The day before yesterday, Your Majesty was sympathetic to the people's feelings, and took the locusts regardless of the safety of the people. Finally, I was moved to the heavens and rained heavily.

Now that locusts are made into military rations, it is not my Tang Dynasty soldiers who are not considered. Why can't Your Majesty eat it, but they can't eat it? Isn't it a mustard in my heart? ”

People must be cowardly when they should be cowardly, but when they should not be cowardly, they must not be coaxed.

It is too embarrassing to think that Li Ertang, an emperor, would worry about a mouthful of military rations.

is also an enlightened monarch like Li Er, who has this mind. He is the only one who can treat his subordinates like this.

But at this time, Qin Ze felt that he couldn't be cowardly. Because he had to tell him to use his mouth to tell Li Er's thoughts.

Yes, for the sake of the Ninth Five, the Son of Heaven can eat it, why those

Soldiers can't eat it.

Wei Chigong was speechless when he said a few words, and Li Er's eyes lit up when he heard it, which was simply to completely say his heart, and he immediately felt extremely comfortable in his heart.

Du Ruhui on the side was also staring at Qin Ze, as a counselor, he naturally knew the emperor's heart.

He naturally guessed Li Er's thoughts, so he didn't participate in a word in the argument just now.

But the young man in front of him said it directly. not only revealed Li Er's heart, but also tied Li Er to his side.

Du Ruhui always thought that Qin Ze was just a little smart, but now he ......

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Ze's words came out, Li Er also sighed and said, "They are all my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and I can't bear it." ”

This is already speaking to Qin Ze in disguise, and it is also giving himself a step.

At this time, several people still didn't understand anything, so they hurriedly saluted and comforted Li Er, and expressed their willingness to promote military rations.

Wei Chigong said this, but in his heart, he didn't like Qin Ze more and more.

Qin Ze was not afraid of this, because he still knew the method of beating a stick to give a sweet date.

So he immediately saluted Li Er, and took this opportunity to tell him about making weapons. Of course, his excuse was that he wanted to study new weapons.

Qin Ze planned to make some triangular military thorns, as well as some daggers and arrows in his sleeves. But before that, he has to change Datang's steelmaking process.

At present, Datang's steelmaking process can't support the weapons in Qin Ze's mind at all.

As we all know, there are three types of iron based on their carbon content. One is wrought iron, which has a very low carbon content, and this iron is extremely tough. Like European countries of the same era, this wrought iron was used.

It can be said that if you use this thing to cut people, the sword will not bend in shape when you go down. Keep putting it under your feet and stepping on it straight, and it will be as soft as copper.

And the highest carbon content is pig iron, this thing is brittle, not to mention killing, if you accidentally drop it on the ground with your hand, it will be directly broken into countless pieces.

In between is the so-called steel, like Datang's current steel process, which is mainly block iron smelting and steel frying, which is to oxidize iron with air as much as possible in the air, so as to reduce the carbon content in iron.

But this method also has great drawbacks, just say block iron, which is commonly known as iron. That guy can make a weapon that can exhaust people to death.

As for the frying method, it is to melt the iron into molten iron and let it fully oxidize. But in the end, it is very laborious to keep beating.

Moreover, the carbon content of iron in these two methods is not easy to control, so some toner powder will be prepared to add carbon to the iron.

It is also because of the backwardness of this technology that the annual output of steel in the entire Tang Dynasty is only more than 5,000 tons.

And after the Song Dynasty, this number became 150,000 tons, so you will find that in the Song Dynasty even the currency was made of iron.

This was unthinkable in the Tang Dynasty.
