The soul wears a mother's womb, and was overheard by the emperor Laozi

With coal, transportation became a serious problem.

Fortunately, now that there is a road research institute, there are some things that cannot be rushed and need to be pushed forward slowly.

It can be done to the extent that it can be done, as long as it is started, everyone will taste the sweetness, and if they want to have future generations, there will be no problems.

After looking at it for a long time, Long Lin found some various stones, turned around, and handed the stones to Situ Heng.

"Your Highness, why did you give me these stones?"

"Take these things, let's go back."

Long Lin took the lead and headed down the mountain. A group of fireworks masters were dumbfounded.

After they came here, they just watched it for two days, but they didn't understand at all why His Highness brought them here.

After descending the mountain, everyone got on their horses and rushed towards the capital.

All the way back to the research institute, it was already a few days later.

It was already late at night when he returned, and Long Lin ordered everyone to go back to rest. He and Situ Heng left the research institute together.

This road has been in a hurry, and Situ Heng didn't have the right time to speak.

Now there were only a few familiar people left, and he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Your Highness, you have worked so hard on such a trip, but I don't understand why you took these people there and just looked at them without saying anything."

Long Lin was so sleepy that he yawned heavily.

But the three kings behind Long Lin were in high spirits, and they didn't feel tired at all.

Seeing this, Long Lin was filled with emotion, these are really some martial arts masters.

"Master Situ, what do you think after watching it?"

Situ Heng showed a wry smile, how does he feel?

He didn't know how many scenes like this he had seen, how could he feel?

Many felons would be sent to mine in these places with shackles on their feet, and most of them died on the mountain in the end.

In the past, he might have felt a little bit, but now, it's long gone.

"Your Highness, mining is like this. After watching too much, I don't feel it."

Long Lin suddenly realized that he had overlooked this point. Situ Heng didn't feel it, but those fireworks craftsmen must have felt it.

Just show them how difficult mining is.

As long as the gunpowder is turned into explosives, his goal will be achieved. Once there are explosives, things like artillery will surely appear soon.

After all, when useful things appear, there will be a lot of rewards. Those are all white money, who can't be envious?

"Master Fang, mining like this is too difficult. Iron is the core. Kitchen knives, iron pots, iron hoes, and shovels are very important."

Mentioning this, Situ Heng nodded immediately.

"Your Highness, who says it's not the case? I, the Ministry of Industry, have always been under tremendous pressure. These years, I'm so worried."

"Oh? Tell me?"

Long Lin became interested immediately, he really didn't know these things.

"Your Highness, you don't know that the emperor issued an oral order many years ago."

"In all places where iron is smelted, most of the iron is used to make barracks weapons, and the amount is very large."

"Armor, weapons, these things already consume a lot of iron, so the gap immediately becomes infinite."

"Since several years ago, the common people have basically not been able to get a new piece of iron, and all of them are old things from the past."

"But officials everywhere, they don't understand this, and every time they ask for it, they can only keep rejecting them."

Situ Heng poured out all of it like pouring bitter water.

When Long Lin heard this, he immediately showed a hint of surprise.

All used to make weapons?Why?Could it be that the imperial court wants to start a big war?

What is the father thinking in his heart?

This war is not a good thing. It wastes people's money and money, and the damage is serious. Once the war starts, the people will suffer first.

But wars are not all bad things, such as conquering territory and looting supplies, these are good things.

Matters related to the war had nothing to do with him. With that militant Long Qi, he must run faster than anyone else.

Isn't this just when he became an official, Long Qi asked for orders and led his soldiers to fight the bandits?

After the bandits are wiped out, maybe this dragon qi will lead soldiers to fight against the Xiongnu.

It is also a good thing to be able to defeat the Huns. Originally, that large piece of land belonged to the entire Chinese nation.

And the so-called Huns will also be part of the Chinese nation in the future.

This matter is not in a hurry, and it is not something he should think about.

He is thinking now that he can make the lives of ordinary people better.

The iron has been made into weapons, so what should the common people do?Without iron tools, how to farm the land?Hand planer?

In this case, how could there be more food?

Thinking of this, Long Lin immediately frowned.

"Master Situ, what about now? A lot of iron, or are you still producing armor and weapons?"

Situ Heng nodded.

"Your Highness, the gap has always been large, and the amount of weapons is still sufficient, but the armor is too short."

When Long Lin heard this, he became anxious.

"Lord Situ, in the past, the production of armor and weapons was carried out according to this amount. In the future, the extra iron will be used to make things that the people need."

When Situ Heng heard this, his eyes widened immediately.

"Your Highness, I don't care what I say about this matter. If the emperor doesn't let go, who would dare?"

Long Lin smiled, he was not worried about this at all.

"Lord Situ, you don't need to worry about this matter, just listen to me. When the amount of iron increases in the future, use the extra iron to manufacture what the people need."

"The amount of armor and weapons produced should remain the same. In this way, you can also go to the father's place."

Situ Heng nodded.

He finds this matter very difficult. Judging from the current situation, there is no possibility that the amount of iron will increase at all.

Even if it can increase, I don't know when it happened.

While the two were chatting, when they arrived at the gate of Situ Heng's mansion, Situ Heng got off his horse and bid farewell to Long Lin.

Long Lin returned home to rest overnight.

The next day, I went to find Situ Heng and went straight to the Gunpowder Research Institute.

When they arrived inside, everyone showed signs of exhaustion. After running around for the past few days, many people suffered from severe lack of sleep.

Long Lin gathered everyone together and began to speak.

"Everyone must have seen what kind of life those mining people live every day."

"They worked so hard for the entire court, for the soldiers to have armor to wear, and for the soldiers to have weapons to use."

"After watching it, how do you feel?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately showed bitter faces.

"Your Highness, we have heard before that mining is particularly difficult, but after we actually saw it, we realized that it is simply a fatal thing."

"Your Highness, the people are suffering too much. They dig mines day and night. Many of them are so thin that they only have a piece of skin left."

......

They are all common people, and seeing the common people suffer there, naturally they will not feel good.

If there, if a group of imperial court officials were digging mines, the sitting firework masters would probably be able to jump up happily.

After hearing this, Long Lin smiled.

"You all saw it, they were miserable, but what they did was great."

"However, I let you watch it in the hope that you can understand that maybe you can help them here."

Upon hearing this, the group of people immediately became interested.

"Your Highness, tell me, how can we help them?"

......

Voices of doubt rang out in an instant, and it was not difficult to find that this group of people became very excited.

Long Lin waved his hand.

"The jet-black gunpowder you use to make fireworks."

"After the gunpowder burns, it can fly into the air in an instant, so that the things you put in it can explode into beautiful fireworks, isn't that right?"

After everyone listened, they nodded again and again.

Long Lin continued to speak.

"However, if you let that thing not rise into the air, it can still explode violently when it is burning."

"Then think about it, is it possible that that kind of power can easily blast away pieces of stone?"

"If the stones can be blasted directly, then those who dig mines don't need to hit the stones."

"In this way, they only need to collect the stones and then transport them down. In this case, don't they have to suffer so much?"

As soon as Long Lin said this, the eyes of several people in the crowd immediately lit up.

"Your Highness, why have I never thought about what you said?"

"Your Highness, what you said makes sense, but is this possibility really possible?"

"Your Highness, what should we do to make it happen?"

......

Long Lin shook his head, revealing a wry smile.

"Don't worry, this is just an idea of ​​mine."

"But if you realize this idea, then this is reality."

"When there were no fireworks, who would have thought that the fireworks would be so beautiful after they exploded in the sky?"

"A lot of things, as long as you dare to think about it, maybe you will be able to succeed."

After hearing Long Lin's words, the group of people immediately became excited, with excited expressions in their eyes.

"Your Highness, you are right. When there were no fireworks before, who knew that these things really existed."

"Your Highness, we will try our best and maybe one day we will be able to succeed."

"Your Highness, if you try, you will definitely use a lot of gunpowder, but we don't have much in our hands."

......

When Long Lin heard this, he smiled.

"Everyone, don't worry, about the gunpowder, you will tell Master Situ how to make gunpowder."

"I will let Master Situ set up a gunpowder bureau and let a large number of people make gunpowder. It will definitely be enough for you to use."

"Of course, there is one more thing. When you try, you must try your best to protect yourself. You only have one life."

"Also, the place to try it should be in the wasteland outside the city. Don't let you blow up or burn this research institute."

Long Lin said it half-jokingly, with smiles all over his eyes.

When everyone heard this, they all laughed and immediately made a promise.
