But Di Renjie is a solution.

Originally, there were four major events, each of which was a major event, and each of which was good governance, and some good governance was derived from water conservancy. The crown prince has been in charge of the country many times, and has been silent and silent, this time it is quite like King Chuzhuang, Qi Jinggong, no matter who he is, it shows that the prince will be a very accomplished emperor.

Doing something, and loving, and in his twenties. His Majesty the Emperor was not in good health and was often sick, so he needed the queen to read it to him, and even asked the queen to read it on his behalf. It's not that the emperor is old and useless, his illness is dragging on, and he is no longer the emperor when he first succeeded to the throne. Don't compare, just compare, how does the emperor deal with himself?

Therefore, there has to be controversy, and with controversy, these few things don't look perfect. Imperfection is a good thing for the crown prince.

When Di Renjie told the truth, Li Wei laughed.

In fact, I don't think about it so complicated, and I don't want to be controversial. It's just that seeing the death of Yang Xu and the others, I feel unhappy, in a sense, the two are Li Wei's future quasi-fathers-in-law, and they are annoyed that their father is too thin, so they fight back.

Li Wei began to pay attention to Huo Yao again, the power of the black fire Yao was very small when it exploded, so it was called Huo Yao, one was Huo Yao, and the other was fried Yao, there was a big difference. However, the black fire yao is used as fireworks, but it is okay. To increase the power, the formula needs to be more precise, as well as purer saltpeter and sulfur. After asking the officials of the Ministry of Supervision and Works, they were all inexplicable, but some officials reminded Li Wei that sulfur was mostly used as a yao prescription, and he could ask the imperial doctor in the palace.

I asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor said that sulfur is used for many purposes, saltpeter is used very little, all of which are obtained from civilian use, and I don't know the purity of saltpeter, but I only know that when I am alchemy, I use a lot of saltpeter, as well as sulfur, and even they are prepared by themselves.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered one thing, isn't Huo Yao exactly what the Taoist priest knew when he was refining the pill? It can't be explained that Huo Yao is only used to make fireworks, and Song Ming also has many Huo Yao weapons. However, the contempt for craftsmen and the slow progress of technology have made Westerners more than that.

Thinking of this, I came to Daming Palace again. Although it is said that Li Zhi does not attach importance to Fangshi, he attaches great importance to Taoism, and is only different from Li Shimin and Li Yuan, Li Zhi puts Buddhism and Taoism in an equal position. The best alchemy Taoist priests are still in the imperial palace, such as the Sanqing Hall in the Daming Palace in Chang'an City. The building is magnificent, and it is also the only building in the Daming Palace that builds a high platform from the flat ground, and countless Taoist priests are supported inside. Some are proficient in "spells", some are true to the true meaning of the channel, and some are good at alchemy.

But whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, on the whole, it is only to satisfy people's yearning, and even in a sense, it is also to educate the people, and it has not reached the point of interfering in politics, and there is no national teacher and heavenly teacher who appears in the court. Therefore, when Li Wei arrived, these Taoist leaders were all surprised.

Li Wei explained his intentions, and several Taoist leaders did not dare to slack off, and invited a few Taoist priests who were alchemizing pills out. Li Wei looked at it, clicked on one of the oldest Dao Chiefs, asked his name, and replied that the Dao name was Qingxu. Li Wei then asked about saltpeter and sulfur.

found the right person, Qingxu immediately made an auspicious answer.

Sulfur has many medical effects, such as antitussive, expectorant, anti-inflammatory and laxative. However, whether it is alchemy or medical treatment, it is believed that sulfur is the yao of gold and stone, and arsenic, both of which are extremely poisonous. Therefore, before use, it is used in the form of cauterization, also known as ambush fire, so that the poison is lost or reduced. The famous doctor Sun Silian also deliberately mentioned this matter in the Danjing, using sulfur and saltpeter two taels each, grinding into powder, putting it in a sand jar, digging a pit and leveling the ground, after a period of time, digging it up and putting it in a casserole and frying it with charcoal. Li Wei was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and it was estimated that he had not done a good job in that link, otherwise there would definitely be an accident in this speculation. When you can't afford to burn the fireworks, take in the mixture. But these alchemists already knew that after these three things were mixed, they would react violently, and they used some measures to control the degree of reaction.

During the conversation, Li Wei also learned about a little-known history, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Qi Dynasty was surrounded on all sides, the form was embarrassing, and the source of the tongue of fire was lost, so the palace maid came up with a way, dipping it with sulfur with firewood, and put it on the fire knife to scratch, which could be burned, and the name was Candle. Once because of the difficult life, some concubines deliberately operated candles to improve their lives. Therefore, the refining of sulfur has been done for a long time. It's just that the sulfur production in Guanzhong is very small, and most of it is found in hot springs and craters, but there is. Qingxu also has a complete set of methods for refining pure sulfur. After all, if you want to refine the Dan well, you also need pure materials.

Saltpeter, also known as soil nitrate, has a wide range of origins, and also knows the method of refining soil nitrate to water with high potassium nitrate content.

To be precise, the various technologies of the black fire yao have been formed, and there is only a layer of window paper between the appearance of the black fire yao. More optimistic than Li Wei thought, Li Wei opened his mouth and said his request. Of course, you can't test it in the Sanqing Palace, and the nong is not good for the fire in the Sanqing Palace, and you have to provoke the tongue. Also, the amount of test time should not be too large. Although the power is small, as long as the amount is sufficient, it is not a problem to blow up people. Repeated warnings not to approach the source of the fire and so on.

In short, Li Wei was in a good mood and visited the alchemy process of Qingxu with great interest. The two little furnace boys used by Qingxu were actually two girls of thirteen or fourteen, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. I couldn't help but take a second look, and I was guessing in my heart about where this bull's nose came from.

The two little girls were fanning the Dan stove with fans, which made him look embarrassed, and the fans were off.

……

It's a new deal, but it's a hot day.

There were very few people who opposed the new granary, and the transportation of grain nearby, which saved a lot of expenses, and made the people have a lot less servitude, and even because the court paid a lot of money, it prevented the decline in grain prices, and there were more people who loved and fewer people who suffered. It's not profit-seeking, and there is a voice of approval from top to bottom.

However, there are more impeachments caused by several cities. Li Wei heard another voice, it turned out that at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were many wars, and because the Turks were strong, many of them fell into the hands of the Turks in the Western Regions and the Lingwu Land, and there was always a shortage of war horses. So it was ordered to ban the sale of horses. Over the years, this ban has been relaxed, and people who are not in business are not aware of it. It was not until after this edict was issued that it dawned on me that these large livestock were forbidden to be sold privately.

The Confucian scholars were very opposed, believing that the imperial court was a profit-grabbing company. But the people are very much in favor, the Hu people in the border will eat horses, cattle and sheep as food, how good it is to put them in the Central Plains. If nothing else, let's just say that in the suburbs of Chang'an, how many families have partnered to raise a big animal, and they are all regarded as treasures. Horses and oxen could be used to plough the land, and mules and camels could be used to haul goods. Once liberalized, the price will fall, which is also convenient for the people. It's a pity that cattle graze in the north, and buffaloes that are urgently needed in Jiangnan are still rare.

When they arrived at the sea market and went to sea, the common people did not understand and were silent one by one. But the Confucians opposed it far more than the last time they had conferred the titles of a few merchants. The merchants themselves were also not very enthusiastic, and were not familiar with all kinds of overseas affairs, although they also saw and heard that some Hu people and great cannibals made a lot of money on the Silk Road and sea transportation. However, I am unfamiliar with the sea and afraid of risks. It was also for Xinqu to raise money, but the money was small, and the quota could not be obtained, and the money was too much, and he couldn't come up with it. What can be taken out doesn't want to make this money, so it is deadlocked. The most important thing is to see that the Confucians are angry, the so-called island owner is just a false title, and he doesn't even have a formal rank. The imperial court also developed many frameworks to impose restrictions, which made many people retreat.

There are people who ask, but there are very few people who are moving.

This made Li Wei feel depressed.

Autumn is a little deeper, and as soon as the wind blows, the rustling of fallen leaves can already be heard.

Li Wei was in the Chongwen Pavilion, listening to the Confucians explain the scriptures. The plan is his, and the specific execution is no longer necessary. Besides, it's noisy and I don't want to hear it. So he continued to "supervise the country" on behalf of his father, and even consciously tried to review some of the memorabilia. But I also feel that I still have flaws, so I don't review much, and most of them are aimed at learning. Sometimes he also returned to the East Palace, and even continued to study the scriptures in the Chongwen Hall.

This is also the body slowly getting stronger and the energy better. If it is changed to the body of the year before last, it is absolutely unbearable.

A eunuch came over and said, "Your Highness, the queen invites you to Daming Palace." ”

Lead Li Wei to the foot of Penglai Mountain, and there is a pavilion next to Taiye Pond. All the lotus leaves in the Taiye Pond began to wither gradually, but there were many chrysanthemums on the east side of the pavilion, and they bloomed strongly. Wu Zetian sat in the gazebo, sipping tea and looking at the autumn scenery in front of him. Li Wei walked over, saluted and asked, "I don't know why the queen mother called her sons to come?" ”

"I haven't seen you in this palace for a long time, so I called you to come and talk to this palace."

"It's an honor," replied Li Wei.

After chatting casually, Wu Zetian asked about several of his new policy progresses.

After such a long time, Lao Shishen can't be called a deep plan, but he understands a lot about politics. It can also be seen that now the mother's rights are in the inner palace, but the foundation of the court is very weak. The influence on the court was attached to the father, who did not give the mother the right to handle political affairs, and the mother was still just a pure queen. And because of her mother's low-key personality during this time, almost all the important ministers in the court forgot about her mother.

But Li Wei didn't dare to neglect his mother, and carefully said all kinds of things that happened during this time.

Wu Zetian just listened and didn't speak. After Li Wei finished speaking, he said: "I haven't heard the poem you wrote for a long time, the chrysanthemums around this place are already golden, can you make a poem for the palace?" ”

I didn't understand my mother's intentions, and I was not in a good mood, so I casually picked a poem and said: "The autumn bush is like a pottery house, and it is becoming more and more oblique around the edge of the fence." It's not that chrysanthemums are favored in flowers, and this flower is even more flowerless. ”

Wu Zetian said: "There is a slight murderous atmosphere in this poem. ”

However, everyone's favorite flowers are different, this son mostly likes lotuses, but he is a peony, and said: "Since Tao Yuanming picked chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely saw Nanshan, they are all elegant and light with chrysanthemums." In fact, this palace does not agree very much, the chrysanthemum blooms in the autumn, it is the time when his flowers wither, the lonely fang is proud, xìng Ge Po Lie, can not be counted as Yayo. When autumn comes, everything begins to wither, it is the season of coldness, although it is fragrant, it cannot be said to be indifferent. ”

I don't know if my mother said it casually, or if she meant something else, or if she didn't have a good impression of Tao Yuanming, Li Wei responded: "Yes." ”

"Since you have written this poem, you are not happy. In fact, the way of controlling people is also the same as driving horses, and if you are blindly weak, you can be deceived. ”

Wu Zetian's tone was very soft, but there was a strong sense of killing in his voice, and as soon as the words fell, there were golden chrysanthemums all around, as if they lowered their heads in fear.

Then he said, "Go ahead." ”

Li Wei was in a fog, it was impossible for his mother to call him to come and ask about the progress of several new policies, but in fact, he didn't ask, and he thought that his mother probably knew it clearly in Daming Palace. It is impossible to talk to yourself about autumn chrysanthemums. Or something else, can't think of it. So in the evening, I came to Di Renjie's house. The old slave served the tea, Li Wei took a sip, and said, "Di Qing, there is something unknown today, so I came here to ask for advice." ”

There was no way, I couldn't figure it out, so I had to ask Di Renjie.

"The minister doesn't dare, Your Highness, please speak."

Li Wei told his mother how he summoned him, Di Renjie frowned and thought for a while: "The queen's horse taming in the past, has His Royal Highness heard of it?" ”

"I've heard," but I've just heard it, and this story will go back a long way.

"When the queen was talking to Her Royal Highness, the minister was not present, and she didn't dare to speculate, maybe the queen thought ...... Do you want His Highness to be a little tougher on the official? Di Renjie furrowed his brows and said uncertainly.

"Tough on the officer?" Li Wei was surprised.

The speaker is not guilty, for example, Zhu Jing is angry with his father, although his father is angry, he still gives a reward, that is, he encourages the minister to admonish. Indeed, the advice and writing of certain Confucian scholars and speech officials brought great confusion to the implementation of several new policies, and even dispelled the enthusiasm of merchants.

But it cannot be said that the speech officials are not good, without the advice and supervision of the speech officials, the king will be arrogant and reckless, and the ministers below will also deceive the superiors and subordinates. The good effects are far greater than the negative ones. Adopt a tough attitude towards the advice of the official, even the father, he does not dare.

But he asked suspiciously, "Is the queen mother helping me?" ”

Di Renjie didn't hear this sentence, and replied cautiously: "After all, it is related to the future of the fortune of Guanzhong, and it can even bring a large amount of taxes to the country. Even the queen did not want to make several new policies finally banned because of the advice of the officials. ”

I am not very sure, and I must not take coercive measures against the officials to prevent them from admonishing. Does the queen still have a voice beyond her words? Or maybe the queen said it casually, and it didn't mean anything else, but it wasn't very like. Therefore, he guessed: "Or the queen, not referring to the official, but just reminding His Highness to be more decisive." ”

Even Di Renjie can't be sure, only one thing can be sure, the queen has no ill will towards the prince when he said this.

The next day, Wei Hongji sent the drawings of the Guangtong Canal, which were preliminary drawings, and further investigation and verification were necessary for further investigation and verification when the official excavation was carried out. Li Wei looked at it and found several prime ministers again. Li Jingxuan and the others looked at the drawings to discuss, and suddenly Li Wei had an idea and asked the eunuch to call some officials in. There were many people who objected to the letter, including the speech officials, and the Confucian scholars of the government and the opposition, and the Confucian scholars had no choice but to move the ideas of the officials.

Dozens of officials came over after a while, Li Wei said: "You immediately go to Sanmenxia to have a look, come back after reading it, write a copy to Lone, Lone to the ancestral emperor is a boat, the people are water, water can carry a boat, can also overturn a boat, this people are who the people have been puzzled, after you have seen it, come back and tell Gu ...... by the way"
