When he met an unreasonable old man, Li Kui couldn't scold, let alone beat. Even if he threw off his clothes and left, he was afraid that the bad old man would lie on the ground, and the corners of his mouth sneered at him: "Your uncle, or your uncle, you can't accept it!" ”

"Zhang Xiang, Xia Guan has just gotten married, and he is still on vacation, and his wife is looking forward to his return, you won't be unsympathetic, right?"

Li Kui thinks that in this situation, he can only be reasonable.

But the result of reasoning was very bad, and Zhang Dian snorted coldly: "Do you want the old man to take your wife over?" ”

Seeing that Li Kui was silent, Zhang Dian laughed proudly: "Boy, you just obediently obey." Don't think that the old man doesn't know, your delicate wife and your childhood sweetheart, don't see each other for a day or two, it's not in the way. ”

"I ......"

Li Kui ran out of words, and said loudly: "Zhang Xiang, you don't understand science. ”

"The old man doesn't understand, but you just understand, nonsense, if you don't write a certain ugly Yin...... No, if you can't satisfy the old man, don't think about going anywhere. ”

Zhang Dan made it clear that he used his identity to oppress people.

Li Kui said entangledly: "This official is also a fourth-grade official, although you are the prime minister, you can't deliberately frame the important ministers of the court." ”

"Bah, is there a minister like you? The old man was almost by you just now. Angry Prime Minister, even if you don't go to Salmon Island, you will be deprived of your official status and never hired. Zhang Dian stared at Li Kui menacingly, and did not back down at all. The death-lusting immortal who was teased by Li Kui's words before finally found an opportunity to take revenge, and the old man caught it very accurately.

Speaking of which, Zhang Dian and Li Kui are quite similar in personality, they are both very small-minded, but they always have to pretend to be very generous.

But if you are really careful, it is like a biting king, and you won't let go of anything.

Li Kui was a little upset, and saw Zhang Dian covering his chest with a smug face, as if he was about to burp. But he was really afraid that this old boy would lie on the ground and pretend to be critically ill, and then Li Kui would be more wronged than Lin Chong, who was trapped in the White Tiger Hall back then.

After all, there are only two people in this main hall, he and Zhang Dun, one has fallen, and the other is fine, who does he suspect?

What's even worse is that even if Li Kui is the same as Zhang Dian, pretending to be seriously ill and falling to the ground, no one believes it!

In desperation, Li Kui had no choice but to reluctantly nod and said: "Zhang Xiang, you have to understand that science is very rigorous, and if it has not been verified, it will be a flower on the moon mirror in the water, and it cannot become a possibility of technology." ”

Zhang Dian said indifferently: "The old man doesn't need these seals, as long as you write out the strategy, someone will do the sealing." There is no shortage of good craftsmen in the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no shortage of craftsmen who can do the ultimate, as long as the strategy you write is reliable, the old man dares to pat his chest and guarantee that it is a cart that can be walked without a few wheels and can be pulled by livestock, and the old man will also build it for you. ”

Isn't it a car with a few wheels and a cart that is not pulled by livestock?

Li Kui knew, but he couldn't make it, this thing was too complicated, so complicated that it didn't matter if his brain was boiling.

How can a person under the eaves not bow his head?

Li Kui had no choice but to start writing in the metropolitan hall. It stands to reason that he should start with how to make a musket, and the wrought iron is beaten into a round tube, which is constantly beaten and reinforced, and finally becomes a barrel. But the problem is, this kind of thinking simply doesn't work.

The iron of the Great Song is too brittle.

The reason for the embrittleness of iron was the large-scale iron smelting used by the Great Song Dynasty, and most importantly a large amount of charcoal, that is, coal.

The amount of coal mined in the Great Song Dynasty has begun to take shape. There is also coal mining in Yizhou. Even in Bianliang, the common people have used coal for cooking. But iron smelting, also with coal that has not been processed, will definitely have a lot of impurities. As a result, the iron production of the Great Song Dynasty was very high, but because the quality was not good, the weight of the weapon continued to increase. Thus guaranteeing the strength of the weapon.

The most common is a twenty or thirty pound Pu knife.

This was unthinkable in the Tang Dynasty, because this weapon was not suitable for cavalry at all. The one-handed wheel does not open, but the hands are too short. If it is lengthened, it will have to be weighted.

This is also the reason why the good swords of the Great Song Dynasty are sky-high. The most important reason is the subsequent forging process, which makes blacksmiths desperate. There is also the addition of fine iron that exists in nature, such as meteoric iron. Li Kui's three-pointed and two-edged blade is to add a lot of meteoric iron, plus refined iron, and the forging is successful.

In the Tang Dynasty, charcoal was used for iron smeting.

Charcoal does not have as many impurities as coal, and the iron smelted is much better than that of the Great Song Dynasty. But limited to the issue of production, the price of weapons in the Tang Dynasty was also very expensive.

Originally, I wanted to write about how to forge muskets, but because of the problem of materials, Li Kui almost collapsed.

As a last resort, I started to write from coal washing and soil coking.

After finally finishing writing an article, he handed it to Zhang Tun, who had a dark face, pointed to the strip Chen that Li Kui gave him, and said angrily: "Boy, are you fooling the old man? Charcoal is inherently black, why wash it? Can it be washed? ”

In Bianliang, there are two charcoal farms in the east and west outside the city, and there is an endless stream of ships transporting to and fro every day. For the people of Tokyo, coal, like food, is the most needed need of the common people. Zhang Dian is not a high-ranking official when he comes to Bianliang, and he is not a person who eats fireworks in the world. He also knew the usefulness of coal, and the iron superintendent would also purchase huge quantities of coal to smelt iron. Of course, he has also seen the black and autumn coal, and told himself with sixty years of experience in his life that Li Kui has definitely fooled him again!

Regardless of whether it was right or not, Zhang Dian immediately put the note that Li Kui had finally written on the ground, and said leisurely: "Rewrite, don't try to fool the old man and get by." ”

Li Kui looked down at Tiao Chen, who was clumped together, his eyes were bloodshot angrily, but he looked at the old man who was there, and there was no way at all. Ignorance is regarded as character, the key is that this old man is still the prime minister. Li Kui pondered, if an old man like Zhang Dun who didn't know anything was allowed to continue to be the prime minister, the Great Song Dynasty would be finished!

But I thought so in my heart, but I had to give enough face, so I had to lower my eyebrows and explain to Zhang Dian with low eyebrows: "Zhang Xiang, you don't know, although the ordinary use of charcoal is convenient, but the firepower is insufficient, mainly because there are a lot of impurities in the charcoal, resulting in the iron smelted is not refined. Brittle and easy to pore, this is an important step in condensing iron sand. ”

Zhang Dunhu wondered: "Why has the old man never heard of it, and the officials of the iron prison have never said it?" ”

Li Kui tilted his head, and really remembered that there was a record in a book, and said: "Whoever cooks rice with charcoal, first burn it to make it hot, and call it refining fire, before it can be put into the plan, otherwise there will still be smoke." Li made the charcoal of the king's house unrefined, and it was difficult to eat. ”

"Although this is an allusion to Chang'an in the previous dynasty, it is enough to show that before the charcoal is used, it needs to be calcined to remove impurities."

Zhang Dian was a little upset, and said angrily: "What book has it recorded, why doesn't the old man know?" ”

"There is a record in the "Drama Talk" written by Lang Kang Piao, the school secretary of the Chongwen Hall in the previous dynasty, which is the passage just now."

Zhang Kui still felt that he couldn't trust Li Kui, after all, Li Kui's ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open was too great, and he had been fooled several times. Arrange for someone to find the book immediately.

What is the place outside the Tojido?

Imperial.

The Zhaowen Pavilion, the History Museum and the Jixian Courtyard are all places where the Great Song Dynasty collected books, plus the Zhiji Pavilion, the Secretary Province, Baowen and Tianzhang all have collections. It is difficult to find a book from the previous dynasty. But the prime minister gave an order, and if there is difficulty, it must be overcome.

Zhang Dian and Li Kui stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and neither of them was convinced. Zhang Kui didn't believe what Li Kui said, Li Kui thought that Zhang Kui was picking a bone in an egg and didn't know how to pretend to understand.

Unexpectedly, the officials of the History Museum came first, and it was still an acquaintance Fan Chong, and the moment he saw Li Kui, he still squeezed his eyebrows and communicated for a while, but what disappointed him was that Li Kui didn't want to deal with him at all: "Zhang Xiang, the book you want is here." ”

"Drama Talk"!

Kang Piao!

It's all right, Zhang Dian stared at the books on the bookcase, and suddenly panicked. Pretended not to care and said: "Renjie, is there really an allusion to Shitan?" ”

"Really." Li Kui didn't speak, but Fan Chong, who had made meritorious contributions, spoke, pointed to the table of contents in the book and said: "The allusion to Shi Tan is in this chapter. ”

Zhang Dian has already lost face in front of Li Kui, and he can still lose face in front of Fan Chong. Immediately put down the book and said coldly: "Get out!" ”

Fan Chong was stunned, and when he realized that something was wrong, he took a few steps back with a frown, and then turned to leave. When he left, he still muttered: "Employ people in front, and if it's useless, what kind of person!" Fortunately, he said this to himself, and no one else could hear it.

When Fan rushed away, Zhang Dian rummaged through it, and soon found what Li Kui had said. For a while, Zhang's old face was a little unbearable. He didn't buy his jinshi either! Why, Li Kui knows the miscellaneous science he doesn't know?

Zhang Dian's face was red and white, and it took a long time for Ai Ai to ask Li Kui: "Renjie, this is what you saw when you read the book?" ”

Zhang Dian is at the age of Li Kui, and he is still working hard for Zhongjinshi. Such unpopular miscellaneous books, he said that he would not read them. But what about Li Kui?

Zhongjinshi's ranking is higher than him, and he has read such unpopular miscellaneous books.

Even Zhang Dan, who is arrogant and has been a hero in the world for a long time, can't stand his empty heart.

Li Kui nodded and said: "Zhang Xiang, Xia Guan served as the direct secretary pavilion in the imperial city before, and the Zhaowen Pavilion, the History Museum and the Jixian Courtyard can all check books, Zhang Xiang, you also know that Xia Guan loves to read, and when he sits in the imperial city, he is accompanied by books every day." ”

At first, Zhang Dian listened carefully. But after listening to two sentences, he really couldn't listen to it. When Li Kui was doing the Straight Secret Pavilion, he did come to the Imperial City every day, and he often found a book, but this product was not for reading, but to cover his face while lying down and sleeping. Li Kui doesn't close his eyes when he falls asleep, forget about the rest, if he doesn't cover his face and bird feces fall into his eyes, will he still be alive?

Zhang Dian blew his beard and glared angrily: "Tell the truth! ”

But the truth is, this is really what Li Kui saw when he was bored, and the truth makes people not believe it, what kind of world is this? Li Kui pursed his lips and said innocently: "I heard what my ancestor said before. ”

"Zizhan has read this book! That's right. Zhang Dian really went down the steps, even Ouyang Xiu didn't read as much as Su Shi, and when Zhang Dian faced Su Shi, he also had to look up to him. Losing to Su Shi, he is not ashamed.

Zhang Dian picked up the ball of paper on the ground, flattened it, and said to Li Kui: "Continue to write ......"

During this period, Zhang Chuan sent someone to deliver news to Li Kui's family, and Li Kui stayed in the capital hall.

But as soon as the slaves of the Taishi Mansion passed on, it became-Uncle was detained by the Dushitang.

Liu Baosheng, who got the news, was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and he was suddenly frightened and at a loss, thinking that Li Kui was going to be imprisoned?

After a long time, he came up with a way to say to the steward: "Send food to my uncle, remember the whole roast sheep, he likes to eat this." In addition, two more catties of cakes will be baked, otherwise you won't be full! ”

Not to mention that the Taishi Mansion is in chaos, the inner city of Bianliang is full of gossip news that Li Kui was condemned by the Dushitang. Even those who have noses and eyes will be tried by the three legal divisions and the court will be opened.

No, the son-in-law of the Wen family, Ma Yu hurriedly found Fan Chong, headless like a fly, but there was nothing to do, and urged Fan Chong vigorously: "Yuan Chang, you have to think of a way, Renjie is our best friend, we can't see death without help!" ”

Fan Chong looked at Ma Yu in amazement, puzzled: "Boren, what are you talking about?" Why can't I understand it? ”

There is a reason why Fan Chong is puzzled, why was Li Kui questioned by the Dushitang, why didn't he know?

Moreover, Fan Chong also brought a very cold miscellaneous book before, went to the capital hall, and also met Li Kui. Of course, another party, Zhang Dan, is also there.

I didn't see that I wanted to ask about sin, but it looked like I was asking for questions.

Of course, according to Fan Chong's experience, most of the people humiliated Zhang Xiang. Then the old man was embarrassed to get angry at Renjie, and instead poured his anger on him. He kindly found a lonely book, and he didn't even have a good word, so he drove him away with a cold face, what kind of person!

Ma Yu was so anxious that he jumped up and down, and said emotionally: "Renjie is a person who has made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, and he can't let the traitor harm him because of this trivial matter." Yuan Rang, you shouldn't avoid suspicion at this time, the only one who can save people can only be Su Xiang, but you also know that I don't have any friendship with Su Xiang, so it's better for you to go as a nephew, besides, you are world friends. ”

That's right, the Fan family and the Su family are indeed world friends, the friendship of three generations.

But Fan Chong didn't understand at all, why was Li Kui dangerous?

He has seen Li Kui, and he has also seen Zhang Dan. Puzzled and asked: "When did Yuan Rang do this?" ”

"Just now, it came out from the Taishi Mansion, saying that Renjie was detained by the Dushitang and wanted to be condemned and imprisoned." Ma Yu said nervously.

Fan Chong shook his head and smiled: "It's nonsense." ”

"How do you know it's nonsense?"

Fan Chong pointed his finger at his nose and said, "Because I have been to the capital hall, just over an hour ago." Fan Chong pursed his lips and suddenly laughed: "I dare to conclude that Zhang Xiang is in the examination of the school's outstanding knowledge, and then he is likely to lose, and then the old man will not be able to come to the stage to fight at night." At that time, I also gave them a very unpopular book. ”

"This ......" Ma Yu suddenly stomped his feet angrily and said angrily: "Rumors hurt people!" ”

However, he was also a master who loved to listen to gossip, so he suddenly leaned in and asked softly: "Yuan Rang, tell me, what's going on?" ”

Less than an hour later, the news of the inner city changed.

As the prime minister, Zhang Dian was asked because of Li Kui's knowledge, and then he couldn't get off the stage, so he had to distinguish the winner from the loser...... When the news reached the imperial city, Zhang Zhu was dumbfounded, and hurriedly found the servant of the capital hall who passed the news, and asked, "How did you tell the Taishi Mansion?" ”

"How can the villain be qualified to see the Taishi and his old man, so he told the steward in front of the Taishi's Mansion that Master Li was left behind by Xiangye...... I don't know how many days I can return. ”

Zhang Zhu almost couldn't get up in one breath, and he really wanted to kick this blind servant to death in anger.
