The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 678 Brand New Luoyang

For Chen Ziming who came from the 21st century, gunpowder has no secrets at all.

However, saltpeter and other Dahan reserves are very large, and many have been discovered, but they are temporarily listed as prohibited items, belonging to the Dahan court, and private individuals are not allowed to mine them privately, otherwise they will be punished with serious crimes.

Of course, no one knows what these two things are useful for now, and no one buys them, and they are useless if they are mined, but gunpowder will be known to the world sooner or later, and at that time, these things will be absolutely forbidden.

"boom!!!"

There was a loud noise, and Chen Ziming looked at the hillside that had been blasted into a big hole, and nodded with satisfaction. Although the power was not enough, and the smell was too strong, the raw materials used to produce gunpowder were not refined much.

Technology is a big problem, but being able to explode is already very good. As for stability, as long as you don't mess with this thing and pay attention to the preservation environment, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"This is top secret, no one is allowed to leak it..."

Chen Ziming once again expanded the scope of the gunpowder research base and dispatched a long-term garrison. This kind of thing must be completely controlled by the imperial court, and it also requires a strict control system.

There is no way, if this thing comes out like that when Liu Bei is holding a meeting, the big man who finally got on the road may be stillborn.

Especially Chen Ziming, a big man can die, but the current Chen Ziming can't die, because the current big man needs Chen Ziming most.

Chen Ziming didn't plan to equip gunpowder into the army. Firstly, the gunpowder was not very mature and not powerful enough. Secondly, it was too dangerous. If he was not careful, he would blow himself up before he could hurt the enemy.

In the end, it is difficult to control and it is easy to spread. After all, generals in the army still have a lot of power, and there are too many clan children, so it is easy to get this thing out. If it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, it will directly threaten the lives of important officials in the court. Safety.

However, it will be a matter of time before it is equipped in the army. Chen Ziming is not a saint. Of course, this kind of thing must be mastered by his own country, so that the strength of the army can stand at the top of the world.

It is impossible to completely stop the spread of gunpowder, only let the big man continue to study and explore, so that the big man can master the strongest artifact.

"The three raw materials are produced separately and studied separately..."

The raw materials are not pure enough, which affects the power of gunpowder in the eyes, and the smoke produced by the explosion is too heavy, which can easily hurt the soldiers' bodies. Chen Ziming wants to make weapons directly and equip them to the army after the technology is more mature.

Sooner or later, muskets and artillery will become murderous in the hands of human beings, so let the big men lead the vanguard of the times, or let people from other countries try the power of these two things.

Chen Ziming didn't have much time to rest all day long. Originally, Chen Ziming thought that after the unification of the big man, he would be able to enjoy his old age in peace, but he didn't expect that after the unification of the big man, he couldn't let go of the big man, or Chen Ziming's ambition was even greater.

Now Chen Ziming is no longer looking at the Central Plains, but looking at the whole world. He wants to build a huge and inviolable empire. Compared with Chen Ziming, Liu Bei's ambition is not worth mentioning.

Chen Ziming let go of his power and concentrated on education and scientific research, but Guo Jia, who was the deputy prime minister, suffered a lot. Many times, people from the Government Affairs Council and the Military Department could not find Chen Ziming, so they could only leave everything to Guo Jia.

After all, Guo Jia is nominally the third guard of the big man. As for the top leader, Liu Bei is not interested in those trivial matters. Under Chen Ziming's intentional guidance, Liu Bei is more willing to listen to the intelligence of the countries around the big man.

In Chen Ziming's words, the emperor should not do those daily necessities. The emperor should look at the whole world. The emperor should think more about how to let everyone in the world know the strength of the big man.

As for controlling power and preventing people below from rebelling, it does not exist. Today's big men, who are capable of rebelling, even Guan Yu, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang, do not have that ability.

Because although they have soldiers in their hands, the soldiers have their own thoughts and consciousness. It is not that these generals can make those soldiers work for them with a word or a little benefit.

Moreover, they have no money or food, and these are all in the hands of the imperial court. They can rob them, but it depends on whether the people agree.

As for the civil servants, no matter whether they are senior members of the court or the chief officials of a state, no one has the guts or the ability, no illness, no power, no prestige, no one will follow him to rebel.

Moreover, the common people have a way of life and a good life, and no one wants to do things that kill their heads.

In August of the second year of the Han Dynasty, envoys from various countries gathered in Luoyang again. Today’s Luoyang has changed a lot. The city walls have a new look, the houses are neatly arranged, the streets have been swept spotless, and the cement has been officially put into use in Luoyang.

Liu Bei's palace has been built, it's on the side of the old palace, it's much smaller, but very majestic, as for the old palace and Wei Palace have become tourist attractions, as long as you spend a little money, you can go in and feel the royal atmosphere.

The ministries were also officially completed, and the envoys from various countries also entered the newly built expensive hotel. After a year, the changes in Luoyang amazed everyone. When they first entered Luoyang, they thought they had come to the wrong place. Is it the capital of the country?

"Such a precious glass, the Han people use it like this..."

Looking at the windows made of glass, the envoys from various countries felt a burst of heartache. It was too wasteful. If this thing was shipped back to their country, it would definitely be a royal thing, and they could not buy it with money.

"Cement? What? How was it made?"

The envoys from various brick and brick countries understood that it was made of clay, but they really didn't understand what cement was, and Luoyang was full of houses and roads made of cement and bricks.

What they don't know is that this Luoyang used up hundreds of tons of steel, steel, the western countries were still using a lot of copper, and steel was used to build houses, and such a large investment was unbelievable.

But they can't let them know about these things, after all, the big man still has millions of magical weapons waiting for them to buy at high prices.

This time, the countries came here with sincerity. They will make way for the commercial roads, ensure the smooth flow of the commercial routes, and guarantee the interests of the Han merchants, but they also have conditions, and that is the weapon of the Han.

Among them, the most speechless is the envoy of the Guishuang Empire, or Barrett, who has a thick skin and can be called a model among diplomats.He didn't care at all that the big man just broke out with the Guishuang Empire. Barrett didn't seem to know that the [-] soldiers and horses of the Guishuang Empire were wiped out by the big man.
