Invincible son

Chapter 685 684 [The bright moon at that time]

The palace, in the imperial study.

Emperor Kaiping was reclining on the couch, listening to the long speech of Luo Ting, the governor of the Eastern Mansion, with no sign of boredom in his expression, and his face looked much ruddy. After nearly half a month of recuperation, he had already shaken off his weakness.In fact, what Pei Yue taught him was just the secret method of feigning death, artificially sealing off most of the vitality, which would not cause too 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 recruited a large number of local laborers, but also relied on honeycomb coal The high quality and low price of the firewood make the people not have to worry about firewood. However, Daliang has a vast area, and only these four coal yards are not enough. Charcoal Temple wants to expand its scale, but there is a problem that cannot be solved. If you lose your hair, I have no proper solution."

Luo Ting stood tall, frowning slightly.

Emperor Kaiping glanced at the young man who seemed unhappy over there, and said indifferently: "He's already here, just ask him face to face."

Luo Ting turned his head and said in greeting: "I hope Marquis Zhongshan can come up with an idea."

Of course Pei Yue was not happy, knowing that he and Ye Qi took that step with great difficulty, and they were about to finish their work, but were forcibly disturbed by the emperor, and they felt so depressed that they couldn't express it.

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 don't know what doubts Mr. Ruling has?"

Emperor Kaiping felt the difference slightly, obviously unable to understand this kid's attitude.Recently, Zhongshan Hou's mansion has been full of visitors, Pei Yue, who is soft on the cash register in the mansion, and with the power in his hands, can he have any troubles?
Luo Ting coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "Yongzhou and other places can build coal yards because there are natural coal mines like Shouyang Mountain, and the mining is very simple. In the past six months, I have sent a large number of people to investigate various places, but found that there are no coal mines. 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 yard at all."

He paused and sighed softly: "Both Jian Rong and I are not good at natural craftsmanship, but we also know that mining coal mines deep underground is not as simple as digging a tunnel. Pei Yue, briquettes were created by you, charcoal The establishment of the temple is also inseparable from your plan, I wonder if you can help the court solve the 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 never went down the mine himself.

Even though I have seen the internal structure of the mine in film and television works, but I know it but I don’t know why, so I didn’t agree in a hurry, and said in a deep thought: "Luo is in power, I am Wu Xun, I am afraid it is not appropriate to meddle in the government affairs of the court again and again."

Luo Ting relaxed in his heart, and said seriously: "You don't have to worry about this. Serving the country does not distinguish between civil and military. If anyone makes irresponsible remarks because of this, I will talk to him personally."

In comparison, Luo Ting's guarantee is definitely more effective than Emperor Kaiping.

After a moment of silence, Pei Yue said: "This is a big matter, please give me a period of time to think about it carefully."

Luo Ting nodded and said: "That should be the case. If you need the convenience from the East Mansion, 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, and the use of gunpowder is indispensable in it. The ingredients of those black gunpowder are still lying in the secret room of Luliuzhuang, but Pei Yue has never had a suitable opportunity to study it.Now, in the name of helping the court solve problems, at least many practical problems can be solved in a legitimate way.

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

The longer he came to this world, the more Pei Yue felt that his connection with his previous life became weaker and weaker. Now he can finally recall some killing weapons recorded in the earthwork.He has never been the kind of pretentious and conceited character, and he has never had a whimsical idea to forcibly change the technological level of the world. To him, many things are just the difference between useful and useless.

For example, briquettes and those masterpieces handed down by great poets.

Does black powder work?
The answer to this question is obvious.

Even if a breech-loading gun with rifling can't be produced in a short time, some home-made simple hand grenades and the simplest matchlock guns are enough to change the war situation in this world.

Pei Yue was engrossed in his thoughts for a moment, but he didn't notice that Luo Ting had already left and was still immersed in beautiful fantasies.

"Pei Hou is not in a good mood today?" Kaiping Emperor's taunting voice woke him up from his contemplation.

Looking at the emperor's half-smile expression, Pei Yue said without thinking: "Your Majesty, the investigation of King Yan's treason case has almost been completed, and I really can't imagine that there will be so many courtiers who disregarded His Majesty's expectations and secretly talked with Liu Zan." He has close contacts and even helped him do a lot of things, so he is very angry."

Emperor Kaiping now has a good understanding of this guy's character, and thinks that he is loyal in major matters, but he is usually not honest, so what he said now is mostly nonsense.

However, the emperor didn't expose it face to face, but said indifferently: "After you sort out the case file, submit it."

"The minister obeys the order."

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

Pei Yue's heart was shocked, and he looked at Emperor Kaiping in disbelief.

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

Pei Yue said frankly: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei definitely does not approve. In fact, I think it is not necessary. This time King Yan conspired rebellion, and no one knew what Duke Wei was thinking in his heart, but he did not cross the line after all. Also forcibly restrained. I can understand His Majesty's intentions, but Wei Guogong has been retreating, and I am afraid that he will not want to retreat one day."

Emperor Kaiping glared at him, and said slowly: "Don't you even understand this? The Fifth Army Commander's Mansion is in charge of the logistics of millions of troops. How can you randomly find someone to take over this position? I never thought about continuing to force Wang Pingzhang is only interested in Qu Jiang's qualifications and ability, and Wang Pingzhang should recommend the next candidate for the Xiying coach."

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

Emperor Kaiping was silent, and after a long silence, he said: "Then tell me, who can take over as the governor 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 a lot about the past, including before the founding of the Liang Dynasty, the old man Lin Qingyuan had various ideas about the future court.

To this day, he still remembers those ideas that were too far ahead of him, and he has never forgotten them.Recalling Lin Qingyuan's previous attempts, Pei Yue not only didn't find it ridiculous, on the contrary, he felt an indescribable intimacy.

A bold idea took shape in his mind.
