"Thank you, Your Majesty......"

Lin Zifan learned the tone of the empress and spoke quietly. But the heart is still beautiful.

After all, it can be seen that the empress still cares about herself very much! Regardless of anything else, as soon as she heard about her own safety problems, she reacted as soon as possible......

The corners of the empress's mouth hooked, thinking it was funny, but she didn't say anything......

"But Your Majesty, they ...... Can it be done? Why don't you send a few older ones to the ministers?" Lin Zifan's sudden words instantly made Chun Xia, Qiu Dong and Zhou Xiaoyan full of resentment.

"My lord, we can do it!" Zhou Xiaoyan puffed up.

"Swear to protect your lord!" "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter are full of righteousness and passion.

But it is also their performance that makes Lin Zifan more entangled, in terms of strength, their daughters are still young, in Lin Zifan's opinion, the strength should not be too strong, right? After all, the older the people who are written in the novels and books, the higher the cultivation.

Besides, these girls are more honest and heartfelt than the other, and they are silly cute.

Lin Zifan had no doubt that if they were in danger, they would definitely sacrifice their lives to save them, but the weakness was that they were injured or even died because of themselves, but he absolutely didn't want to see it!

"You can rest assured of that. The empress stretched her waist and said: "They are all Yuan spiritual cultivators, and in other countries, they can be regarded as party figures, which is enough to start a sect." ”

"Even in our Tang Dynasty, it should not be underestimated, and people from other countries who can enter Chang'an, if the Yuan Lingxiu is above, will be reported, and will be monitored at all times, and it is almost impossible to threaten you. ”

"As for Yuan Ling or under Yuan Ling, they are enough to deal with it!"

Lin Zifan: "......"

Are these girls so strong? He blinked, a little incomprehensible, these girls looked like they were a year or two older than their old sister, but their cultivation was already a big level higher than her?

You must know that Yunshang and Qin Yafan are all amazed by Lin Siyu's cultivation, doesn't this mean that they are even more geniuses among geniuses in spring, summer, autumn and winter?

"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely be able to protect you, even if you want to go out of the city, we can protect you!"

"Unless we die, no one can threaten your lordship!"

"Uh-huh!"

Several girls nodded again and again, their expressions were extremely firm, which made Lin Zifan smile bitterly. is a dignified man by himself, if he really lets a few of you little girls die to protect themselves, then what is it that makes people unhappy, right?

He shook his head and smiled, but he didn't say anything, which was a tacit acquiescence to the empress's arrangement.

"If you want to go out of the city, you need to make other arrangements, just a few of you, it's not enough to deal with it......" Fortunately, the empress thought further, saying that if Lin Zifan wanted to go out of the city, she would send another master, and it was even likely that she would transfer people directly from the military department......

Seeing that the empress had made arrangements for Lin Zifan's safety, the ministers were also slightly relieved.

In fact, many ministers also have some contradictions in their hearts at the moment.

At the beginning, everyone was very reluctant to Lin Zifan to enter the court as an official as a man, but as time went by, everyone saw what Lin Zifan did, and they also understood what kind of person Lin Zifan was, and they were gradually accepting and recognizing him.

On the one hand, the deep-rooted thoughts in their minds made them unwilling to see Lin Zifan as an official, and they became bigger and bigger.

But Lin Zifan's actions and importance also made them understand rationally that Lin Zifan has a great role as an official, and it plays a vital role in the entire Tang Dynasty!

Yes, some of them hope that Lin Zifan will have an accident or something, but at the same time, they also hope that Lin Zifan can live a long and healthy life......

This is very contradictory, but it is just a contradiction in their hearts, they will not intervene in anything, let alone send a killer to attack Lin Zifan......

But the most important thing now is not just the issue of contradictions......

After pondering for a moment, Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War asked, "Your Majesty, Lord Lin, I wonder if the gunpowder production process is difficult and what is the production efficiency?"

Originally, General Huo should have asked about this matter, but now that General Huo is not here, she, the secretary of the military department who coordinates the military department, naturally has to ask for clarification.

As soon as she heard these questions, the empress's head was big, her beautiful eyes were pouted, and she looked at Lin Zifan, why don't you answer quickly?

"Well...... this" Lin Zifan muttered: "It's not difficult to make gunpowder, and I can also pass on the method to some reliable people, but the production efficiency depends on whether the materials can be supplied in time!"

"We have found the sulfur ore, but it is in the mountains of Hebei, back and forth, at least five or six days, and this is still without load, and without rain!"

"Therefore, I estimate that even if it is the fastest, it will take about ten days before the first batch of gunpowder can be realized, and it is difficult to estimate the specific amount. ”

"Assembling the whole army ......"

Lin Zifan shook his head and smiled: "No one can say well, but it will take two or three months at the earliest." ”

"Two or three months?" Liu Shangshu frowned slightly, and sighed: "It's not unacceptable, at that time, it was autumn, and the main culprits of the troubles in the northern countries were just enough to give them a head-on blow!"

"But it's not realistic to want to overshadow them in the summer. ”

Half of the summer has passed, the hot weather is starting to recede, and in autumn, the northern countries will be snatching up food and grass!

After all, it is too cold in the north, and in winter, it is tens of degrees below zero, and if you don't prepare enough grain and grass in advance, it will not be enough to survive the winter!

"This matter is not in a hurry, nothing can be cast in one day, Lin Zifan can make gunpowder, it is already a great luck!"

The empress is not in a hurry, she can see hope, but it is much better than silently bearing it before, looking forward to the emergence of variables.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the minister does not recommend that after the gunpowder is sufficient, it will be transported to the front line to participate in the war as soon as possible!"

"Oh?" the empress was stunned: "Why?"

Liu Shangshu frowned: "Lord Lin, the battle on the front line is tight, and this gunpowder can't be delayed." ”

"If you don't have it, it's just that, since you already have it, let our people of the Tang Dynasty fill it with their lives, it's a little too much. ”

All of you nodded in agreement, and agreed that if there was gunpowder, it should be sent to the front line as soon as possible.

Lin Zifan shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, my lords, have you ever heard of sharpening a knife without cutting wood?"

Everyone looked at each other: "I haven't heard of ......"

"Do you need to sharpen your knife to chop wood?

"Isn't that how everyone chops wood?"

Lin Zifan: "......"

Yes, yes, it's amazing!

Mom sells batches, I'm really drunk, talking about chopping wood with a group of women who can kill elephants with their bare hands, and even crack rocks?
