Pang Qingyun has seen the complete training program, but the firearms item has no specific content and is just listed separately.

"A firearm is a powerful weapon."

"A powerful weapon?"

Pang Qingyun was slightly startled, and then asked: "Has your Majesty made any new inventions?"

Everyone has this feeling after following His Majesty for a long time.

There are endless new and wonderful ideas that have never been seen before.

Sometimes it makes them feel that the gap between people is so big, why can't they think of this...

"It's not yet certain whether it can be made."

Guan Ning didn't explain much. He had already had the idea of ​​making firearms, but he had been too busy to do research. It was time to put it on the agenda...

"The martial arts hall should pay more attention to it and must focus on cultivating students' loyalty to the emperor."

This is very modern.

But after following Guan Ning for a long time, Pang Qingyun could understand it.

"I see."

"good."

Guan Ning said a few more words and left in a hurry.

He wanted to go back quickly and make gunpowder first.

Even if it can't be mass-produced at the moment, it can still be used to scare people.

The advance troops sent to the border should have arrived, but there is no news about the current situation.

But you must be prepared for war.

According to Guan Ning's idea, after Liang Guo learned the news, he would definitely discuss with Wei Guo as soon as possible to form an alliance.

They would even send envoys to Dakang for actual assessment.

This is the consistent style of the Wei and Liang Kingdoms, and they will never send troops alone.

First, if the two countries send troops together, the risks will be equally shared and the chance of victory will be greater.

In addition, the mainland is now in a situation where three countries are at odds. If two countries go to war, the other country can reap the benefits.

Obviously, there was a serious gap between the Wei and Liang kingdoms, and they were both afraid that the other would stab them in the back.

This can buy time and may not even lead to a fight.

Guan Ning sent a mission headed by Xu Ping to Wei State, with the main goal of dividing the alliance between Wei and Liang.

If you can delay it for one year, delay it for one year; if you can delay it for two years, delay it for two years.

This is what Guan Ning is thinking now.

As long as we don’t afford foreign wars and seek opportunities for development, our national strength can be restored and become stronger!

What he needs most now is time.

Of course, if war is really inevitable, Guan Ning will not be afraid.

Just hit it.

Since he was poor and white, he had nothing to fear.

If firearms could be made on this basis, the situation would be different.

Just being there and making some noise can also act as a deterrent...

With this in mind, Guan Ning returned to the palace and was ready to take care of things without further delay.

Thanks to Emperor Tuolong Jing, the main raw materials needed to make gunpowder are all available, and they are quite sufficient.

Because these things are also the main materials for alchemy.

You said it was a coincidence.

If Emperor Long Jing knew something about it, he would probably be furious and take advantage of him.

The main thing is that craftsmen can get started quickly. Guan Ning only knows a rough idea about this and needs to study and explore.

But he was already prepared and had reserved candidates.

They were the alchemists and Taoists who once made elixirs for Emperor Longjing.

Gunpowder is one of the four great inventions of ancient times. Its earliest origin was accidentally refined by alchemists.

So these alchemists can be counted as professionals.

After Guan Ning took over the palace, he made a major change in the people in the palace. He also killed many people, but only these alchemists and Taoists were left.

This made many courtiers wary.

They thought that Guan Ning also wanted to refine medicine to seek immortality, so they gave many suggestions for this, but in fact they didn't know Guan Ning's plan.

He plans for a rainy day.

The Alchemy Palace is a palace in the imperial palace. It was not called this name originally. Later, Emperor Longjing no longer concealed his pursuit of immortality, so he renamed one of the palaces to house these sorcerers and Taoists. It was also a place dedicated to alchemy...

This palace has been preserved.

Everyone is still there and no one was harmed.

However, this Alchemy Hall is also under special management. You can only stay inside and cannot go out.

But this is enough for these people.

Three meals a day are provided on time and in quantity, and some drinks are given every now and then. My life is pretty good. Except for the lack of freedom, everything else is good.

It's time to be content.

They originally thought they were finished.

As the close confidants of Emperor Long Jing, they never thought that they would have a chance to live...

As a result, not only did they not die, they were still alive and well.

Isn’t this enough?

What kind of bike do you want?

Danding Palace is very big, with many rooms inside. They usually lived here, and they still live here now. There is no difference.

But there is nothing to do every day, and I am bored. I often sit together and chat, exchange experiences and so on...

Today, as usual, a group of people are sitting in a large hall.

This is the alchemy hall. They used to sit around and make alchemy, but now they sit around and chat.

"I can tell one thing now!"

One of them, a man wearing a Taoist robe and a long beard who looked a bit like an immortal, spoke loudly.

"Godly fortune teller, what did you calculate again?"

"Aren't you good at fortune telling? Can you figure out our future?"

"Come on, what can he figure out? We are all in this business and we don't know who the other is?"

After he opened his mouth, there was a chorus of echoes.

This human being is known as the Divine Counter, claiming to know everything and count everything.

"Haha, he can be considered Emperor Longjing and be emperor for five hundred years. What's the result?"

Everyone laughed.

"Shut up!"

Being ridiculed by everyone, the Taoist named Shen Shuzi said: "This time I am sure that I know why the new emperor wants to spare our lives."

"Why?"

"The reason is very simple, because the new emperor also wants immortality."

Hearing this, everyone was slightly startled.

"It makes some sense."

One of them, a Taoist priest who was nearly forty years old and looked slightly calm, said: "When a person gains great power, he will seek immortality. This has been the case with emperors throughout the ages."

"But the new emperor is very young. He is only in his weak years."

"What's wrong with the weak crown?"

"Seeking immortality regardless of age."

"That makes sense."

As they talked like this, everyone's eyes became brighter and brighter.

If so, they have a greater chance of survival and even being reused.
