In the royal palace, inside the royal study.

Emperor Kaiping was leaning on the couch, listening to the long speech of Luo Ting, the right-hand governor of the Dongfu. His expression showed no sign of boredom, and his face looked much rosier. After nearly half a month of rest, he had gotten rid of his weakness. In fact, Pei Yue taught him

It is just a secret method of suspended animation, artificially blocking most of the vitality, which will not cause much damage to the body.

"...Your Majesty, judging from the situation last winter, the heating conditions of the people in Yongzhou, Yunzhou, Qizhou and Lingzhou have been greatly improved. The coal yard of Shitan Temple not only recruits a large number of local handymen, but also relies on briquettes

The high quality and low price allow people to

There is no need to worry about firewood. However, Daliang is a vast area, and only these four coal yards are not enough. Shitan Temple wants to expand its scale, but there is a problem that cannot be solved. Jian Rong's hair almost turned gray during this period, and the minister did not properly handle it.

method."

Luo Ting stood tall and frowned slightly.

Emperor Kaiping glanced at the young man over there who seemed unhappy, and said calmly: "He is already here, you can just ask him face to face."

Luo Ting turned around and said in greeting: "I hope the Marquis of Zhongshan can come up with some ideas."

Of course Pei Yue was not happy. You must know that he and Ye Qi finally took that step. They were about to succeed, but they were forcibly disturbed by the emperor. Their depression was beyond words.

He raised his eyes and looked at Luo Ting, who was standing opposite. Their eyes met for a moment, and then Pei Yue said angrily: "I wonder what the governor has any doubts about?"

Emperor Kaiping was slightly aware of the difference, and obviously could not understand this boy's attitude. Recently, there have been many visitors to the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion, and Pei Yue has been treated softly by the cashier in the manor, and with the power in his hands rising, what trouble can he have?

Luo Ting coughed lightly and said solemnly: "The reason why Yongzhou and other places can build coal mines is because there are natural coal mines like Shouyang Mountain, and mining is very simple. In the past six months, I have sent a large number of people to various places for investigation, but I have found that there is no

There are few coal mines, but these coal mines are hidden underground, and the number of coal blocks close to the ground is very small, which cannot support the operation of a coal mine."

He paused and sighed softly: "Neither Jian Rong nor I are good at the art of heavenly craftsmanship, but we also know that mining coal deep underground is not as simple as digging a tunnel. Pei Yue, you created honeycomb briquettes.

The establishment of the temple is also inseparable from your planning. I wonder if you can help the court solve this current problem?"

The small coal mine he had seen in his previous life came to Pei Yue's mind, but he didn't know the specific operation method. After all, he had never been in the mine himself.

Even though I had seen the internal structure of the mine in film and television works, I knew it but didn't know why, so I didn't agree hastily and said in a deep voice: "Luo is in charge, I am Wu Xun, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to interfere in the government affairs of the court again and again."

Luo Ting felt relieved and said seriously: "You don't have to worry about this. Serving the country has no distinction between civil and military service. If anyone makes irresponsible remarks because of this, I will talk to him personally."

Comparatively speaking, Luo Ting's guarantee is definitely more effective than Emperor Kaiping's.

After a moment of silence, Pei Yue said: "This is a serious matter. Please give Governor Luo some time to consider it carefully."

Luo Ting nodded and said: "That's right. If you need Dongfu's convenience, just ask someone to come to me."

Pei Yue responded calmly, but there was an unspeakable excitement in his heart.

Underground work is a very troublesome project, in which the use of gunpowder is indispensable. The ingredients of black gunpowder are still lying in the secret room of Luliu Village, but Pei Yue has never had a suitable opportunity to conduct research. Now he is helping the court solve problems.

In name, it can at least legitimately solve many practical problems.

For example, find a well-guarded wilderness and try out how many fun and interesting things black gunpowder can make.

The longer he came to this world, the more Pei felt that his connection with his previous life became weaker and weaker. Now he can finally recall some of the murder weapons recorded in the earth. He has never been the kind of pretentious and conceited character, and he has never had any whims to forcefully change the world.

Technological level, for him, many things are just the difference between useful and useless.

For example, honeycomb briquettes and those masterpieces of poetry handed down from generation to generation.

Is black powder useful?

The answer to this question is obvious.

Even if a rifled breech-loading gun cannot be produced in a short period of time, producing some homemade simple hand grenades and the simplest matchlock gun will be enough to change the war situation in this world.

Pei Yue was so lost in thought for a while that he didn't notice that Luo Ting had already left, still immersed in his beautiful fantasy.

"Marquis Pei is in a bad mood today?" Emperor Kaiping's ridicule woke him up from his thoughts.

Looking at the emperor's half-smiling expression, Pei Yue said without thinking: "Your Majesty, the case of King Yan's rebellion has almost been investigated. I really can't imagine that there would be so many courtiers who ignored your Majesty's expectations and secretly talked to Liu Zan.

We had close contact with him and even helped him do many things, so I felt very angry."

Emperor Kaiping now understands this guy's character quite well, and thinks that he is loyal in important matters, but a little dishonest in ordinary times. What he said now is mostly nonsense.

However, the emperor did not reveal it to his face, but simply said: "After you finish sorting out the case file, submit it to me."

"I obey the decree."

"By the way, I plan to let Changxing Hou Qujiang take over the post of Grand Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion."

Pei Yue was shocked and looked at Emperor Kaiping in disbelief.

The emperor showed a strange smile: "You don't agree?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei definitely disapproves. In fact, I think this is not necessary. This time King Yan conspired to rebel, no one knows what Duke Wei was thinking, but after all, he did not do anything out of line. In the palace,

I also restrained myself forcefully. I can understand your Majesty's intention, but Wei Guogong keeps retreating, and I am afraid that one day he will not want to retreat."

Emperor Kaiping glared at him and said slowly: "Don't I even understand this? The Governor's Office of the Fifth Army is in charge of the logistics of a million troops. How can someone randomly find someone to take over this position? I have never thought about continuing to force him.

Wang Pingzhang is just interested in Qu Jiang’s qualifications and abilities. Wang Pingzhang will recommend him as the successor to Xiying coach. “

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, people's hearts are unpredictable, and they cannot withstand repeated tests."

Emperor Kaiping was silent, and after a long silence he said, "Tell me, who can take over as the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army?"

A conversation suddenly appeared in Pei Yue's mind.

Last year, on the island in the middle of the lake in Taichuan Prefecture, Lingzhou.

Pei Zhen told him many past events, including the various ideas that the old man Lin Qingyuan had for the future court before the founding of Daliang.

To this day, he still remembers those ideas that were too far ahead of his time, and has never forgotten them. Recalling the attempts that Lin Qingyuan once made, Pei Yue not only did not find it ridiculous, but also felt an indescribable looming closeness.

A bold idea took shape in his mind.
