Li Chiying's question turned Li Longji down. Although he praised the power of black gunpowder, he was not very interested in black gunpowder.

As the emperor, he only needs to know that there is black gunpowder. As for how to make it, he did not understand it in depth. He smiled awkwardly: "This emperor brother has not asked about it. Jingyuan attaches great importance to black gunpowder. At present, he has not disclosed it. He asked the Ministry of War Military Equipment Supervisor to formulate a set of confidentiality measures. He will only hand the formula to the Ministry of War for research. This matter is confidential, so how can I just read it?"

Li Chiying was very unwilling to accept it. Her pretty face with the fine bloodline of the Li family was full of loss.

Li Longji felt distressed when he saw this and said, "Let me do this, I will ask Jingyuan for some to come and take it to you. That thing is not a thunder, so Jingyuan calls him 'black gunpowder'."

"Black gunpowder!" Li Chiying recited these three words, and her mind was a little active. It was because of the fire that year that she had burned most of the Yuzhen Temple, and she became very interested in it. At this time, she couldn't help but think: "Is it because of the accident of Yuzhen Temple that the Duke just developed the black gunpowder?"

The more I thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. Today she accidentally heard rumors that Pei Min brought thunder, blew up the rammed earth hut, and a terrible black mushroom cloud rose.

This scene is inconsistent with the explosion of Yu Zhenguan back then, and she couldn't help but think so.

With a gurgling look, Li Chiying said, "Brother, my younger sister is practicing Taoism every day in Chang'an. She is tired of staying. She wants to visit Xinglong Mountain to pray for my Emperor's brother and for my Tang Dynasty."

The more Li Longji looked at Li Chiying, the more strange it became. Xinglong Mountain was the number one mountain in Longyou. During the Yongshou period of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people from Heming Mountain in Sichuan spread the theory of Zhang Daoling's Taoism in Xinglong Mountain. From then on, Xinglong Mountain became the origin of Longyou Taoism, with a prosperous incense and a "blessed land in the cave".

However, the Taoist culture in Longyou is not as good as Chang'an and Luoyang, nor as good as Zhongnan Mountain, Songshan, Huashan, and Wudang Mountain. If you want to practice Taoism and pray for blessings, why go to Xinglong Mountain?

Besides, my sister has a personality, how can he, the older brother, not know?

Why did Princess Yuzhen become a monk?

It was not because of the yearning for Taoism and devoted themselves to practicing Taoism, but because the situation at that time was too chaotic, and most of the Li Tang royal family were slaughtered.

At that time, the world was still respected by Li Dan's lineage, and the strength of the Tang Dynasty was particularly worrying. As a side princess, Princess Yuzhen had a great chance of choosing a foreigner to marry.

Princess Yuzhen and his sister Princess Jinxian became a Taoist priest in order to avoid marriage.

Princess Jinxian has a bit of a Taoist heart, while Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying eats, drinks and plays freely, without any appearance as a monk.

For this reason, the Supreme Emperor Li Dan also specially found Li Longji, should he find a husband's family to marry for Li Chiying?

Li Longji also thinks it is feasible.

But Li Chiying himself did not agree, so he gave up the matter.

Thinking of the sentence "Duke Pei is leaving the palace", Li Longji felt more and more suspicious. He thought of Pei Min's handsome appearance and his talent as well as his civil and military skills, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the word "shocking" and "extremely beautiful". He is truly an unparalleled person. If he is a woman, he will probably be attracted to him. Li Chiying is adjacent to him and is still saved by life. Maybe?

On Kaishan Xiuling, Zhang Jiuling already possesses outstanding abilities.

Pei Min thought of this and said without hesitation: "The court has sent Lu Xiang, the Minister of Works, as the Deputy Envoy. I also appointed you as the Deputy Envoy. Longshan is fully responsible for you and him."

Zhang Jiuling said vigorously: "Subordinate receives the order!"

Pei Min continued to ask Wushaoling.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Wushaoling is about thirty miles long east and west. It is famous for its steep mountains and dangerous terrain. There is no shortcut to find.

Pei Min smiled distractedly and said, "Since there is no shortcut, then use manpower to force a shortcut. I don't believe it anymore. It's rare to defeat our 250,000 people in just a mountain?"

He paused and said, "Simplify first and then difficult. I plan to divide the 250,000 labor service into two groups, including Wushaoling 50,000 and Longshan 200,000. Wushaoling does not rush to attack for a strong attack. Use 50,000 labor service as a test, in-depth understanding and preliminary repairs, Longshan is the key to our main conquest."

Yuan Luqian questioned: "Will it waste too much manpower and material resources when repairing 200,000 Longshan together? Too sufficient staff and saturated positions will also affect the progress and will also cause extravagance and waste."

"It's okay!" Pei Min called everyone closer and said, "We can use the method of segmented construction. You see, the beginning and the end can be divided into two teams, and then the valley in the middle can be divided into two teams, 200,000 people, divided into four groups, facing each other, connecting each other, and opening Longshan in one breath. Once Longshan opens, morale will inevitably be greatly shocked. We will take advantage of our remaining efforts to gather everyone to solve Wushaoling for me in one breath."

"Segmented construction!" Zhang Jiuling's eyes lit up and he laughed: "The Duke of the State is very skillful in using all his manpower and material resources. This method is feasible!"

Pei Min asked everyone to go down and make final preparations.

The appointment of the court was quickly issued. With the strong cooperation of the Ministry of Revenue, the people recruited by the court had already begun to travel to Longshan and Wushaoling.

Lu Xiang, the Minister of Works, arrived late.

Seeing that Longyou was ready, Lu Xiang said to Pei Min apologetically: "Duke, please forgive me for being late. When I was down to Longshan, I spent some time to understand the terrain of Longshan. Even if the Duke has a powerful weapon like black gunpowder, if you want to open mountains and build ridges, you still need to plan it. This is the route map for the mountain development we are studying. Please check it out."

Pei Min smiled and took the mountain opening map brought by Lu Xiang. After a brief look, if there was no valley discovered by Zhang Jiuling, the mountain opening map drawn by Lu Xiang should be considered the best route.

The calm Pei Min handed Lu Xiang the mountain map drawn by Zhang Jiuling and said, "This is the mountain map we have developed. Please read it when Mr. Lu."

Lu Xiang took the map of the mountain without caring about it, looked carefully, but stared straight and hurriedly put away his arrogant attitude.

He originally thought Pei Min was just a name. Although Pei Min was both civil and military, he should be an outsider in Kaishan and Xiuling.

The most taboo thing in their business is to be an outsider commanding an insider, so you want to show more force, so as not to fail to achieve eternal feats and become a joke forever.
