Chapter 861 Professional Knowledge

How could Night Breeze not catch it?

Let alone whether gunpowder can be invented.

But at least, we have to give it a try. After all, only by making continuous progress can we always be ahead of others, but just relying on a little achievement to deceive ourselves, how can we create eternal peace.

The steam locomotive has been invented, and a lot of time can be left, which will improve the military, politics, and economy in all aspects.

Now the idea of ​​gunpowder, Night Breeze has to try it!

Looking at Xu Gui, Night Breeze's eyes were sparkling, and Xu Gui was a little dazed, with an obviously uncomfortable expression on his face.

"Your Majesty." Xu Gui bowed his body and cupped his hands, tentatively speaking.

Only then did Night Breeze come to his senses, he laughed, and said awkwardly, "Dan Ding Sect is good. It is a great help to the development of Taoism in our country. How about it, Xu Gui, are you interested in returning to China for development?"

Xu Gui originally came for Taoism, and he immediately agreed: "Your Majesty, Caomin is willing to return to China, join Taoism, and carry forward the Danding faction!"

"Well! I approve it."

Night Breeze waved his hand, and immediately ordered, "Zeping, I'll leave this matter to you. Get in touch with Zhang Lu quickly and ask him to reserve a place for Xu Gui!"

Ye Pu bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will leave this matter to you!"

Xu Gui was overjoyed, and immediately returned a gift: "Caomin thank you for your kindness."

Eh!

Night Breeze said softly: "You have contributed a lot to helping Gongjin destroy Dongying. I just allowed you to return to the country to preach. There is nothing to be grateful for, but I would like to ask, how many people do you have under your command? Can you support your preaching and teaching? "

Xu Gui didn't think about it, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, there are more than 700 Taoist disciples in Dongying when I placed the order, and more than 500 people from Dongying, there are more than 100 Han people alone."

"Well! That's enough." Night Breeze nodded silently.

"Yes, that's enough!" Xu Gui's lips curved into a faint smile.

He didn't know that what Ye Feng said was enough, it was for researching gunpowder, not for his missionary work.

Although Xu Gui misunderstood, it did not affect Night Breeze's research.

Of course, Night Breeze would not simply use Taoist priests to study gunpowder, he would send Shen Kuo to study it together.

After all, Taoism invented gunpowder unconsciously, while Shen Kuo can consciously specialize in research. The combination of the two should be the most effective team!

One has practical experience while the other has professional knowledge.

Night Breeze rolled his eyes and said softly, "Xu Gui, although I have allowed you to preach, there is one condition, and I hope you can agree."

Xu Gui immediately became vigilant. Before leaving, Zhou Yu reminded him jokingly that there is no king who does not like immortality, but he has no way to refine the elixir of immortality.

After a pause, Xu Gui immediately said: "Your Majesty, as long as you don't let the grass-roots refine any elixir of immortality, the grass-folk will promise you anything. This elixir of immortality has never been refined by even our ancestors."

"Hahaha."

Night Breeze looked up to the sky and laughed a few times: "Xu Gui, what are you thinking about in your head? Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. How can there be immortality pills in this world? Don't worry, I am not Qin Shihuang, and I am not Qin Shihuang. I won't let you refine the elixir of immortality."

"That's good!"

Xu Gui secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then... I wonder what His Majesty wants the Caomin to do? As long as it is within the capabilities of the Caomin, the Caomin will definitely do his best and will never shirk."

"Very good! What I want is your attitude."

Night Breeze didn't hide it, and said directly: "My condition is actually very simple, you only need to give me ten Taoist disciples who can make alchemy, and you don't need to be very good at alchemy, I have other uses .”

"It's just... so simple?"

Xu Gui was a little dazed, staring at Night Breeze with blank eyes.

"That's right! It's that simple, once you use them up, I'll return them to you." Ye Feng said.

"This matter is easy, leave it to Cao Min." Xu Gui directly agreed, laughing inwardly.

In fact, is there any Danding faction in China?

Of course there is! It's just too hard to find.

After all, the Taiping Sect was too popular back then.

The Fulu sect basically contracted all the things of Taoism, and the Danding sect was squeezed out of space.

Moreover, at the end of the Han Dynasty, after Zhang Jiao's toss, Taoism quickly disappeared. Even the Five Dou Rice Sect was only entrenched in Hanzhong and did not dare to come out. As for others, it was even more nonsense.

Now that Xu Gui came to his door for nothing, Night Breeze must not let it go easily.

This is a godsend opportunity!

Ye Feng was overjoyed, and immediately greeted him, "Xu Gui listens!"

Xu Gui hurriedly bowed his body and cupped his hands: "The grass people are here!"

"Because of your good performance on the battlefield in Japan and your status as the successor of the Danding School of Taoism, I have specially appointed you as an imperial envoy to protect the Tao. I hope you can continue to work hard to carry forward Taoism."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Stay flat!"

Night Breeze waved and signaled Xu Gui to stand up: "Now you are considered an official of the imperial court, and my will will be sent to Zhang Lu soon. When can you come back?"

Xu Gui immediately said: "Actually, they have already arrived at Mount Tai, and they are resting there now. It's just that the ministers rush around day and night, so they can only meet His Majesty this morning."

Night Breeze was overjoyed: "Very good! Then tell them to come to Luoyang as soon as possible."

Xu Gui hummed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, they will come soon."

After dealing with Xu Gui's affairs, Ye Pu continued: "Your Majesty, yesterday the empress suddenly told the minister that she would fill your Majesty with a post-official post. At this time, the minister has already drawn up a decree, please have a look at it."

Xiao Huangmen received the imperial edict and turned to Night Breeze.

Night Breeze rolled his eyes up and down, and nodded silently: "Yes! Very good, let's do it according to your wishes. I won't ask about this matter again, and leave it to the queen to handle it."

"Zeping, if you have doubts, you can discuss it directly with the queen. Her decision is my decision, but there is one thing, the selected woman must not insult the royal demeanor."

Ye Pu responded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the ministers and others will fulfill their duty of supervision. Besides, the empress is just and cares about Your Majesty, so she will naturally select beautiful women for His Majesty."

Taking a deep breath, Night Breeze closed the imperial decree: "Since that's the case, I'll leave the matter to you! Is there anything else? Our agenda for today will be longer, and we will finish dealing with these days' matters."

"Your Majesty, with regard to the construction of the pilot city, all the materials have been prepared, and the exploration team is already in place, and they are cooperating with the blueprint designers to make preparations."

"Your Majesty, preparations for the railway are also underway. These are some stations on the way. I hope that Your Majesty will review it as soon as possible and give instructions. I will prepare in advance."
