just gave Di Renjie a position, and so many things happened, and Xue Zhiguan was also a lot anxious. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

Don't let him not be in a hurry, in the past, if there was a little credit Xue Zhiguan didn't care at all, but now Xue Zhiguan needs to create a firm political alliance for the eldest grandson Zhizhi mother and son he wants to protect, then the little credit is useful, and the glory goes to the superior, and what he does will add points to the politics of the prince Li Rang in the future.

For a lifelong mission, Xue Zhiguan is also quite hard.

"This is it, Your Highness."

Jingshi City is the city built by the Fujian State itself, which can be transformed and hidden secrets can be more, here is modeled after Chang'an is also built a great mercy temple, the great mercy and grace view of the twin towers echo each other building, detour to the easternmost end of the Shenlai Fang, the carriage along the gate of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, go inside and directly arrive at the seven-storey tower of great mercy and grace, Xue Zhiguan finally carefully inspected around, and then respectfully went to Li Jie's carriage to ask him to get off.

The car also thought about how to use the Jews' plan, nodded his head, and Li Jie got out of the car in silence.

On the outside, although the Taoist pagoda that complements the pagoda of the Great Ci'en Temple of the Minguo Kingdom next door is magnificent and tall, it is no different from the religious pagoda lined with Shenlaifang, and it is more spectacular at most, but it is not until you walk to the entrance that you can find the difference here.

The stones are piled up, the narrow entrance only allows one person to pass through, and the wall is densely packed with a row of small holes, passing through the corridor, facing a full twenty small combo crossbows, the smaller the crank combo crossbow designed by Li Jie, the faster the rate of fire, although he knows that it is his own people It is impossible to be unfavorable to Li Jie, looking at the cold and shining crossbow arm, the silver mask young man still subconsciously blocked in front of Li Jie.

Bypassing the layers of mechanisms, even Li Jie himself felt relaxed, looking from behind, the walls on both sides of the narrow entrance were empty, and forty lancemen were on duty on both sides, it is conceivable that the long lances pierced in on both sides of the wall, and there was a dense fire net of twenty fan-shaped repeaters inside, once an enemy tried to force an attack, the door would be filled with their corpses.

In the center of the heavily guarded tower entrance, several large bluestones were pulled apart by Xue Zhiguan's command guards, and a downward black pitch tunnel was suddenly revealed, and a thick cold air rushed to the face.

Descending the spiral staircase down the dungeon, a vast underground chamber immediately comes into view.

There are a lot of wealthy businessmen who come and go in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and no one can imagine that the largest secret arsenal in Fujian is set up under this peaceful Taoist temple.

The secret arsenal is hundreds of square meters in circumference, and is divided into separate workshops by rows of load-bearing wall columns, bright oil lamps exude a peculiar smell, and there is also the smell of soot, oil, and sulfur in it, and it has passed through a well-guarded entrance, and under the light of several braziers covered with glass, dozens of scholars and craftsmen are arguing violently with researchers, and dense drawings and paintings are hung all over the walls.

On the other side, the red-hot coal pool exuded heat, and the cold underground was dispelled a lot, and a large group of people wiped their sweat to build molds, pouring red-hot copper water into the molds according to the instructions of these brick makers, and on the other side, a cannon that had been built was placed on the gun carriage.

By constantly changing the formula of the alloy, the Fujian operators here continued to improve the method of casting cannons, in order to reflect the lighter and stronger barrel to meet the needs of war, and the advantages of long-range weapons such as trench cannons were indeed brought into play, but they were still limited by bulkiness.

This is definitely a money burner, and every time a lot of theories are summarized, researchers will cast new guns, and then secretly transport them to the army to test their performance, and then feed the test results back to this arsenal.

The cannon is only one kind of arsenal, on the other hand, the imitation of the Furlong rapid-fire gun, the continuous crossbow, the individual crossbow, and even the Shuowang-style machine gun that once appeared on the Goguryeo battlefield, the battle of Chengxiling To be honest, the machine gun envisioned by Li Jie did not achieve the effect he wanted at all, and the Vulcan machine gun squad was almost wiped out.

Now the only remaining members of the machine gun squad Xiao Yehu and the thin monkey are now a lot more mature, Xiao Yehu, a former thief, actually wears glasses, and a lot of various machine gun models in the research workshop have also been made, wood, steel, but unfortunately, until now, Xiao Yehu has not given a suitable answer to Fujian.

There were only a few people who studied the machine gun, but they were all engrossed, and they didn't even notice Li Jie passing by, nor did they disturb them, all the way quietly, Li Jie went straight to the newly built room on the far left.

This is still a newly built workshop, but it is older than any workshop, the vast workshop is thick with the smell of oil, the walls are blackened by fire, and dozens of researchers are also wearing thick black leather robes, wrapped in the slightest, some of them have burns on their faces, but a golden brass cabinet is placed in the center of the workshop.

Fierce fire oil tank!

Due to the harassment of the Tang army, the Arab Empire finally withdrew from Khorasan, Khorasan, but it was one-third of Iran in later generations, and there was a specialty here that Li Jie ignored, oil!

Fortunately, among the many Sassanid nobles who came to Fujian to seek officials, there was a really poor Sassanid nobleman who was ingenious and transported dozens of barrels of oil that were not worth much locally to the King of Min as gifts.

This thing is in Khorasan, and it is definitely a straining commodity in Datang, and when I learned that there was no such thing in Khorasan, Wu Meiniang, who was surprised, didn't say a word and sent someone to find Li Jie.

This thing is also known in China, fierce fire oil, that is, the oil burns violently, the oil is used in the war, the pre-Qin period in China has already had, the Qin State has a famous production area of fierce fire oil, the Three Kingdoms period has been to the present Tang Dynasty, fierce fire oil is one of the important tools of city defense, Li Jie's army is to bring this thing out of the city war, in the battle of Chengxi Ling, did not withdraw a trench, Shuo troops have to use fierce fire oil to break the back, a while ago Xiliucheng suburban trench station, This kind of unquenchable black fire made the invading Shalou people miserable.

The only shortcoming, the production of oil in China is too low, this era Li Jie can not suck oil from the ground, the output is mostly in Guanzhong Gaonu County, Jiuquan County several open-pit oil mines, after laying Linyi, this is in the Indochina Peninsula to supplement a Fujian own open-pit oil mines, the output has been too small for a long time.

However, people's hearts are greedy, and after learning that he has dozens of oil mines, Li Jie almost went crazy, but after the excitement, King Min issued a new target to study a weapon that can directly spray and kill on the battlefield.

In fact, the fierce fire oil cabinet is very well manufactured, the bronze cabinet that does not leak air is welded with a bronze pipe piston, the oil is sucked out of the copper cabinet below by using the siphon principle, a copper gourd is installed at the nozzle, and the gunpowder is pre-filled to burn red to form a high-temperature area, and the oil that is sprayed out is directly ignited here, and a fire dragon of more than ten meters can be spewed, which is spectacular.

However, oil still has shortcomings, the oil just out of the ground is rich in a lot of bitumen and impurities, these things can not burn, but easy to form a blockage to block the fuel injector, how to process oil has become the number one problem for these temporarily recruited experts.

Fortunately, Huaxia is always creative.

A steady stream of oil transported from Khorasan was distilled and purified to take out light oil, add sulfur, phosphorus, rosin and other combustion-supporting drugs, and inject a full hundred catties into the square copper cabinet, ignite the internal ignition powder of the copper gourd in the nozzle, and the gourd mouth that produced high temperature instantly ignited this new type of fierce fire oil, and a steady stream of more than ten meters of flames erupted from the copper cabinet, and it took five minutes to extinguish.

Seeing that the ten unlucky pigs that were the target had turned into charcoal roast pigs, there was still a sticky yellow grease burning continuously, and the mouths of every King Min guard who watched the entourage had grown into an O-shape, and even the picky Li Jie himself nodded with satisfaction.

"The quality of the fierce fire oil is enough, the secret recipe must be firmly in the hands of the Fujian State, and it must not be allowed to leak out, even from various families!" Waving his sleeves, Li Jie roared fiercely, and the dozens of craftsmen present immediately knelt down on one knee and replied solemnly: "Oh, don't worry, the king of Min will not reveal half a word." ”

"Very good, you and others have made meritorious research, each of them will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, brocade white horses, and given the status of a squire of the peace, I hope you and others will continue to work hard, and the next stage will be to study how to use the fierce fire oil more flexibly on the battlefield!" His face relaxed, Li Jie casually awarded a batch of heavy rewards, this reward is amazing, even if the price of Fujian is high, it is all rich and handsome, and the researcher who heard it was also overjoyed, and once again knelt down on one knee and thanked: "The ministers will swear allegiance to the King of Fujian!" ”

"When the Arabs commit it again, Lone will have to resist it with fierce fire oil, and when the Arabs know that this thing was personally delivered to Lone, the wonderful face Lone is really looking forward to it, hahahaha!" Looking at the fierce fire oil that was still burning, Li Jie laughed proudly, causing Xue Zhiguan and other ministers to also laugh, and the hearty laughter echoed in the gloomy underground arsenal and passed far and wide.

Just when Tianzhu Li Jie was overjoyed to get a new big killing weapon, on the streets of Chang'an in the afternoon, people were worried about money.

The gorgeous Xiqin Building is now a lot depressed, and the originally busy Hu merchants in the Western Regions in front of the building have also become a lot sparse, looking at Li Zhi sitting on the second floor lonely, and even have a sense of grievance.

Under the impetus of the eldest grandson Wuji, the Guanzhong government troops came out to fight a nationwide war with the Western Turks who controlled the Western Regions, but it was the first great political achievement since the founding of Li Zhi.

But now, tens of thousands of people have been sacrificed, and the war that has been fought for five consecutive years has now been completely won, and the Western Turks have been torn into countless pieces by the Tang Dynasty, most of them have surrendered and moved inward, and a small part has also fled thousands of miles, but the expected spoils of war have not appeared, and the Silk Road in the Western Regions, which was originally flowing with gold, is now dry.

It is no wonder that Li Zhi is distressed when he looks at the increasingly depressed West Market.

"Where's the money? What about money? It is rare for Weifu to have a private visit, knocking on his head, Li Zhi muttered angrily, but this kung fu, he didn't know that the emperor of Weifu was on top of his head, and the words of the merchants at the table downstairs suddenly attracted Li Zhi's interest .......
