Chapter 233: Little Girl
Lu Heng told Wang Xuance about the ratio of gunpowder, and only told him one person.
The rest of the people who accompanied him were selected from the army and the Hundred Cavalry Division to subsidize the lack of combat effectiveness of Wang Xuance and Zheng Yang.
In the final analysis, the two of them were still ordinary literati before, and when the time came, Lu Heng was not worried about them being sour and rotten, but only afraid that the two of them would not be able to do it or would not have the strength to participate in the battle.
After determining the composition of this team of hundreds of "horse bandits" in tattered clothes.
Su Dingfang pulled Lu Heng into his tent.
"If you tell Wang Xuance the gunpowder formula, aren't you afraid that he will be disobedient?"
"Even if you tell a few more people from the Hundred Riders!"
He was a little worried:
"This person has not been reviewed by the Ministry of Officials, nor has he been inspected by the Ministry of Soldiers, and he is not even on the list of the Western Suburbs Battalion."
"Wouldn't it be too hasty to put him in such an important place?"
"And as you said, Zheng Yang also has a blood feud with the Zheng family in Xingyang, but Wang Xuance does not."
"Whether he will do anything to you after he takes power, it's all unknown!"
Su Dingfang himself suffered a loss without a background, and naturally knew that there was a huge native family to win over, and few people would refuse.
It was precisely because of this that he felt worried about Lu Heng.
If the talent is single-handed, in the end, it is sent to the hands of the five surnames and seven wangs......
Isn't that a bamboo basket empty?
Lu Heng smiled and shook his head:
"Don't worry, I believe in his character."
"You also heard what I said when I first met him, he was the first guest after the opening of the Tianxia Bookstore, and he went to borrow books."
"At that time, Wang Xuance was able to return the book honestly, and he was deeply affected by the current science and department papers and the public recommendation system, so he couldn't get any good fame, and he naturally wouldn't be willing to attach himself to the Taiyuan Wang family after he came out."
"The less people know the ratio of gunpowder, the better."
"If it weren't for the long distance they have traveled, I wouldn't have given him this formula, but the finished product is really dangerous on the road, and if one accidentally catches fire, then all these hundred people will die on the road."
"Coupled with the fact that gunpowder is difficult to preserve, there is no other way."
"As for why you didn't tell the people of the Hyakuri Division......"
"You're worried that Wang Xuance has a disobedient heart, aren't you worried about them?"
"It's a good thing that Xiao Wang still has his parents in Chang'an City, what he wants is to come back, but others are not necessarily."
Lu Heng's words sounded fine, but they always felt a bit far-fetched.
Of course, Su Dingfang didn't know how outrageous Wang Xuance was in history.
took a delegation of thirty people to Tianzhu, but as a result, not to mention the people and money, Wang Xuance himself was imprisoned. In this case, his best choice was to run back to Datang after escaping from prison and complain to His Majesty Li Er about how much the new king of Tianzhu was.
But he didn't.
He went to Tibet and Nepal to borrow troops, and beat the rebellious new king of Tianzhu to the ground with his backhand.
This kind of ruthless person, if he is not holding his breath, if he is not loyal to Datang, he would have been the king of Tianzhu Mountain directly, how could he come back?
Of course, this is Lu Heng's prophetic ability as a traverser, Su Dingfang doesn't know, and it is impossible to know now.
So he sighed and said:
"If you really believe him, then the old man has to believe it too."
"People are gone, and there is no way to believe it."
"They have now gone to the post station and waited, as long as they are sure when the Tibetan mission will leave, they will leave a day in advance, travel lightly, and they will definitely go much faster than the mission."
"Something about the candidates...... Did you talk about it on Your Majesty's side? ”
Lu Heng nodded and said:
"It's pretty much the same, but he doesn't know that I gave the gunpowder formula to Wang Xuance."
Su Dingfang: ??!
Hold the grass !!
Everything else has been said, and such a big thing has not been said?!
But Lu Heng then added:
"However, there is nothing to hide about this, my father will know sooner or later."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll explain this to him in person in two days, you don't have to worry!"
………………
Two days later, the entire Chang'an City suddenly began to be lively.
His Majesty's imminent military parade was widely announced, so that all the people in the city could go near the city gate if they were free, whether inside or outside the city gate, as long as they wished, they could set up a ladder.
The whole city came together to see the parade!
As for what propaganda methods are used......
On the carriage to the castle tower.
Li Shimin looked at his son and son-in-law in front of him with a gloomy face, feeling that he had been deceived.
These two people are simply in cahoots!
"You cried with me when the bookstore was burned down, how much effort it took to print books and newspapers."
"Now, tell me how you managed to print a new edition of Chang'an Daily in two days?"
That's right.
Before the bookstore was burned, Lu Heng and Li Chengqian teamed up to tell His Majesty Li Er that their tools for committing crimes were ...... Ah no, the printing tools are gone, and you need a lot of support from Your Majesty and some funds to get it out.
How long has it been now?
This thing is outrageous, it's outrageous because something has already been made.
How busy Lu Heng and Li Chengqian were during this time, Li Shimin knew best.
One was thrown into the camp in the western suburbs, and the other was just a short time ago, and he was still busy dealing with many matters in the imperial court, so he didn't have the leisure to reopen the bookstore.
Where did they conjure up new printing tools for no reason?
There are thousands of copies in one print!
Lu Heng smiled a little innocently, trying to get by:
"Father, you didn't ask much about this before, so why do you bother to pursue it now......"
Li Shimin glared angrily:
"Don't talk to me here!"
"If this technique can be quickly learned and spread, it will be of great benefit to the Datang scientific expedition!"
"Since the five surnames and seven hopes have done everything to the end, I don't plan to make false promises with them anymore."
"If the things are good, you will take them directly, and I will not let you take them in vain, I will pay for them."
"I'll give you three days to discuss this."
"When the Tibetan mission leaves Chang'an, the matter is certain, so let's start doing it quickly!"
Li Chengqian, who was on the side, was very abnormal and did not promise his father the emperor.
He knew very well that the printing technique was taken out by Lu Heng, and if Lu Heng did not let go, he must not make an assertion.
So the best thing to do now......
is to shut up first, and then give an explanation to my father after the discussion.
A moment later.
Lu Heng suddenly spoke:
"Father, have you ever thought that your sons can not stay in Chang'an City?"
