Li Ershou said respectfully: "General Zheng said that the power is too great, and it is not suitable to be put in the forbidden garden, nor can it be placed in the city, as for where to put it, he didn't say, and Weichen is not easy to ask." ”

Matters related to the Firearms Department are all top secrets, and Li Ershou's Yihu Battalion is only protecting, and does not have the power to govern the Firearms Department, and it is not easy to question Zheng Peng.

"Testing firearms, this is the job of the ordnance superintendent, there is nothing to blame, let him go, but you must send someone to protect those gunpowders, and the use of every gunpowder must be carefully registered, by no means? There are any mistakes or omissions. Li Longji thought about it and agreed.

It's not okay to always fight in the Forbidden Garden, you must know that the object of firearms needs to face is the enemy, it is a strong city, and large-scale testing is necessary, as long as you take precautions.

For Zheng Peng, Li Longji is 100% trusted, if Zheng Peng has a different heart, he can choose not to sacrifice the secret recipe of gunpowder.

"Wechen obeys."

After Li Ershou left, Li Longji thought about it and quickly ordered: "Lux"

"The old slave is here."

"Let's see where Zheng Peng's kid is tested, and I'll go and see too."

Li Longji has seen the power of gunpowder, but that time it was just a small fight, from the folds to see the good news about the firearms of the general regulations to kill and injure the enemy, every time is a heart, want to see its true power with his own eyes, but has not been able to do so, Zheng Peng this test, at once transported 150 barrels of gunpowder, as soon as he heard the news Li Longji became active in his heart, want to see the huge power of gunpowder with his own eyes.

Just take a look at what Zheng Peng is doing.

Gao Lishi's eyes lit up, and he immediately responded: "The old slave obeys the order." ”

Not only Li Longji, but Gao Lishi is also very interested in this, and the master and servant can be said to coincide.

Outside the road repair site east of Chang'an City, Fang Bin was pulling Lao Qi to complain: "Lao Qi, do you have to do this?" Can't you consider a certain set of plans? ”

The road construction in front has been going smoothly, and the progress is also very gratifying, but when he reached a place called Black Mountain Pass, Fang Bin encountered a problem.

The Black Mountain Pass is about 20 zhang high, walking around the foot of the mountain, even if it is not a quarter of an hour on foot, but the Black Mountain Pass has a characteristic, it is a sand-and-stone mountain range, there are many stones in the soil, and a hoe can be smashed out of Mars, and the anti-shock force can shake the tiger's mouth painfully, and it is very troublesome to dig up, according to Fang Bin's idea, as long as you bypass it, everything is easy to do, however, Zheng Peng instructed the road to go up from this mountain, and it cannot go uphill, which means to split the entire Black Mountain Pass from the middle, and the old loyal slave Lao Qi is also ready to do according to Zheng Peng's idea.

It was too difficult, Zheng Peng asked to complete the first phase within two months, as the commander of the road construction, Fang Bin felt very difficult.

It is difficult for a good woman to fry without rice, and she has so many people in her hands, even if she doesn't eat or sleep, it is impossible to complete the task within the time limit, Fang Bin feels that it is necessary for him to agree with Lao Qi, and then find the young master for a showdown together, it is best to let the young master give up his extravagant ideas.

A slight change, save time, effort and money, why be stubborn.

It's not that you can't get along with yourself, it's that you can't get along with money.

Lao Qi shook his head and said: "Team Leader Fang, Xiao Lao has already persuaded the young master, but he won't listen at all, those of us who are subordinates can't do it against our own young master." ”

For Lao Qi, no matter what the young master does, it is right, whether it is reasonable or not is someone else's opinion, it is right to listen to the young master, he mentioned it at the beginning of the planning, but Zheng Peng couldn't listen to the persuasion at all, and finally gave up.

Fang Bin thought about it for a while, and quickly had an idea: "The young master has eaten thallium and iron, old Qi, can you let Madame persuade the young master, you must know that this Black Mountain Col is too difficult to get, half earth and half stone, not to mention that there are only so many people at present, even if you have twice as many people, it is still difficult." ”

The young master can't listen to the persuasion of his subordinates, so he has to listen to the lady's pillow wind.

Lao Qi looked left and right, no one paid attention to his side, and then he lowered his voice and said: "Madame to the young master, that is a heart, in the eyes of Madame, what the young master does is right, and he will definitely not persuade, let alone Madame, even if he is looking for Cui Lao, it is useless." ”

When building the road, Cui Yuan disagreed, but Zheng Peng spent his own money, and did not ask Boling Cui's for help, let alone let Lu Shu pay for it, so that Cui Yuan was not satisfied, and in the end there was no way.

"Okay, listen to the young master, do your best." Fang Bin said with a wry smile.

Repairing the road like this, Fang Bin is still the bride on the sedan chair, or the first time, anyway, he has fulfilled his responsibility to be a reminder of his subordinates, and he can't control what he will do later.

As he spoke, a familiar voice sounded: "Do your best, you two have leisure." ”

Lao Qi and Fang Bin turned their heads and looked at it, startled, the person who came was the young master, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they saluted Zheng Peng together: "I've seen the young master." ”

"No need to be polite" Zheng Peng waved his hand and said, "Tell me, what did you talk about just now?" ”

"Back to the young master's words" Fang Bin said honestly: "Just now we discussed the matter of road repair, the situation of the black soil col is a bit special, there is sand and gravel in the soil, there are a lot of them, and there are many big stones, it is very wasteful to level it, discuss whether you can change the plan, as long as you take a little detour of the road, you can save a lot of man-hours, and the cost of road repair will be greatly reduced." ”

Now it's about building roads, it's not Yugong moving mountains, you have to know that the mythical Yugong moved mountains, and in the end, it was two immortals in the sky who carried the mountain away, not the old man who moved away, and he couldn't find any gods to help him move the mountain.

It's better to be the one who gives the order, they all say that the top moves their mouths, and the bottom runs and breaks their feet, and the current situation is that the young master moves his mouth, and the people below have broken their waists, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to complete the task on time.

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said, "I am very satisfied with the original plan, and there is no need to modify it." ”

"But young master, if you really want to cut the black soil pass, this little person alone is far from enough." Fang Bin said with a wry smile.

There are only more than 3,000 strong people on the construction site, which seems to be a lot, but to move this difficult Black Mountain Col, the manpower is far from enough.

Lao Qi on the side also echoed: "Young master, this bit of manpower is indeed not enough. ”

Zheng Peng shouted three times, and then said confidently: "I know that you don't have enough manpower, I brought you helpers, with these helpers, you will definitely be able to complete the task before the deadline, well, if you work harder, it will not be difficult to complete it in advance." ”

Fang Bin glanced behind Zheng Peng, and asked with a hint of confusion in his admiration, "Young Master, where is the helper?" Oh my God, it wouldn't have been sent here by the Yulin Army to do coolies, they... They are the pro-arms of the Son of Heaven. ”

Zheng Peng said that he had brought helpers, but there was nothing behind him, except for some carriages pulling goods, which were the group of freshly clothed and majestic Yulin Army.

Let the Son of Heaven pro-army come to build the road, Fang Bin didn't even dare to think about it.

Lao Qi was also taken aback, and said cautiously: "Young master, think twice, if this matter spreads, even if the emperor does not pursue it, those officials in the court will definitely be impeached." ”

"Who said I want to be a coolie in the Yulin Army?" Zheng Peng was amused by the brains of the two, and explained: "Those Yulin soldiers don't listen to me, let them be coolies but they can't be commanded, just escort them, the helpers I said are all in the carriage." ”

I heard that the use of steaming power was a bit eyebrow-raising, Zheng Peng would go back to the Changluo headquarters for a while, if he had time, he would have to see how the work of the iron-making furnace was prepared, and he didn't bother to explain more to the two, but asked Li Ershou to take someone to unload the powder keg on the carriage first.

Gunpowder can't be touched casually, and the people of the Yihu Battalion don't dare to let people touch it casually, so it's most appropriate for them to carry it.

Just when Li Ershou commanded his subordinates to move the powder keg, no one noticed that on the top of the mountain in the distance, Li Longji was holding a gold-inlaid clairvoyant, looking at the construction site with great interest.

"Hmph" Li Longji snorted coldly, put down the clairvoyance in his hand, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This Zheng Peng is really calculating, he dares to use the strict contraband of the imperial court to repair his own road, and all the good things are for him." ”

Li Longji was shrewd and capable, and when he saw that all the gunpowder was pulled onto the road construction site, he quickly guessed Zheng Peng's intentions, and he was a little angry with Zheng Peng, this guy really doesn't treat himself as an outsider, he just pulls it and uses it if he needs it, or uses it with swagger.

A bit of lawlessness.
