After the words came to an end, there was a silence in Zichen Palace.

No one, including Emperor Yingtian Shenlong, expected that Zhang Qian's move to use pure copper to build a medicine furnace at all costs would contain so many "deep meanings", and they were shocked.

Many of them were dissatisfied with Sha Chongyi, and were shocked, they would inevitably follow Zhang Qian's thinking. Today, Sha, caught Zhang Qian, the eighth-rank chief clerk who had only been in office for less than two months, and they had never finished biting it. Is it as simple as pleasing Zong Chuke and Ji Chune?

After all, Sha Chongyi's ancestors were originally Turkic people who defected to the Tang Dynasty. Although the Sha family had been officials in the Tang Dynasty for three generations, Sha Chongyi himself had a pure civil service, but no one could guarantee that he had nothing to do with the recently revived Western Turkic forces.

The Turks currently have no place to live and come and go like the wind. Even though they heard about the powerful use of "gunpowder", they did not have enough skilled craftsmen and a stable place to build the huge refining pot in the Firearms Bureau.

But if the pure copper pharmacy pot was replaced with an iron pot, a jar and a bamboo tube, the way the Turks obtained "gunpowder" would be too easy.

Once the Turks mastered the use of "gunpowder", their soldiers would be injured and their chances of death would be reduced by more than half. Turkish soldiers were never trained and were completely relied on survival of the fittest in actual combat.

When a large number of injured and recovered Turkic veterans return to the front line, they will attack the Tang border again, and it will definitely become more difficult to deal with. In order to obtain enough food to make rice wine, they will flee into the Tang Dynasty, and their methods of treating the people of the Tang Dynasty will be even more brutal!

"The supervisor is the responsibility of the censor! You, you have no basis, no evidence, no sarcasm!" After a few breaths, someone finally broke the silence. However, Sha Chongyi himself finally realized what kind of iron caltrop he had bitten on today, and stammered his sweat beads all over his forehead, defending himself with a stuttering.

"You slander Zhang for his clever scheme to exhaust the country and do not need any evidence. Why did it fall on his head? I need it immediately?" Zhang Qian hated the man biting like a mad dog, and he stepped back, approached half a step forward, and asked with a smile, "Zhang built the medicine pot. From beginning to end, all the parts were from the Armored Staff and the General Office, and none came from outside. After Zhang's medicine pot was erected, all the processes of alcohol refining were written on the wooden board. Almost every craftsman could recite it backwards and never hide his own personal information.

Zhang wanted to improve the method of alcohol production, so he had no time to stare from morning to night before going to the pharmacy pot. The production of alcohol is still higher than one day under the operation of craftsmen. Now, every ten kilograms of rice wine can produce one kilogram of alcohol. With the addition of firewood, carbon, artificial and fire consumption, the cost of each kilogram of alcohol is no more than one hundred and fifty cents, and it is still decreasing! Even so, Zhang will be slandered by you as a trick to exhaust the country. Then you are not serious about your work, but you are staring at Zhang's pharmacy copper pot all day long. Wouldn't it be obvious to you?"

"I didn't, I didn't stare at your pill pot. I, I just fulfilled my responsibility for the censor's report!" The two sides were clearly separated by a long distance, but Sha Chongyi was forced to retreat. The defense sounded more and more unconvincing.

"Master, the gunpowder must not flow into the hands of the Turks!" It was said that there were three gangs in one fence. The right servant She Xiao Zhizhong had no shortage of helpers. Seeing that Sha Chongyi was beaten by Zhang Qian and had no power to fight back, he quickly stood up and increased his position.

"Master, the last general will ask the Master to clearly investigate what is the intention of the Censor Sha?!"

"Sir, I will discuss it."

"Your Majesty, it's not an exaggeration to prevent problems before they happen!"

...

As a hawk under Zong Chuke, the Minister of War, Sha Chongyi has offended too many people. Seeing that he might be in trouble at any time, everyone stood up and everyone pushed him down.

Li Xian, who was sitting behind the imperial case, had already completely turned his suspicion about Zhang Qian to Sha Chongyi. Especially after hearing that the cost of alcohol was only about one hundred yuan per pound, he felt guilty about Zhang Qian, and even more disgusted with Sha.

Seeing so many ministers surrounding Sha Chongyi and beat the dog in the water, Li Xian immediately made up his mind, slapped the table with his hand, and ordered loudly: "Don't be a little damn goodbye, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly. The person..."

"Your Majesty!" Sha Chongyi was so scared that his legs were weak and could no longer stand. He knelt on the ground with a "thump" and kowtowed to mercy. "Weichen absolutely had no intention of spying on the secret recipe for gunpowder. Weichen was loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Weichen..."

Just when he was so scared that he was almost fainting, he suddenly saw his master behind him, Zong Chuke, the Minister of War, step forward and saluted Li Xian solemnly, "Sage, I impeach Sha Chongyi for neglecting his duties and abused the power of the censor!"

"Sage, I will discuss with you. Sha Chongyi abuses power and harms the country. He should be removed from his position as a censor and demoted him to a local area. Let him educate the people in the place and make up for his merits!" Ji Chune also knew that if he didn't stop the loss in time, Sha Chongyi might have to go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice today, so he quickly helped Zong Chuke.

"Well" Seeing that the two of them could draw a clear line with Sha Chongyi, Li Xian felt very satisfied. His eyes looked at Sha Chongyi, and he was no longer as cold as before. He pondered for a moment and asked loudly: "Sha Chongyi, do you know your mistake?" (Note: In official history, Li Xian had serious health problems, was weak, forgetful and suspicious.)

"I know my mistake and I wish to take Your Majesty seriously and think that those who come later will be warned!" Sha Chongyi was completely disappointed and lay on the ground honestly, waiting for the disposal.

Seeing that he was so honest, Li Xian's suspicion was quickly reduced. He pondered for a few more breaths, slowly announced that he would demote this person to Sima of Yazhou and immediately go to the post.

Sha Chongyi escaped and quickly sobbed and thanked him. As a result, before he finished speaking, the old servant Yang Feng, who had never participated in any topic, suddenly stood up and started a loud voice at Li Xian: "Sage, although Sha Chongyi is suspected of abusing the power of the censor, he has served the country for many years. Demoting him to Yazhou is too severe. I think he should be allowed to stay in the capital and serve nearby. In this way, it will save him from the pain of running thousands of miles, and in addition, it will also save the future leak of gunpowder formula and production methods, which will make him suspicious and implicated for no reason!"

"Hmm?" Unexpectedly, Yang Feng, who had not been asking about political affairs for a long time, would plead for Sha Chongyi, and Li Xian immediately began to be a little confused.

"The Master, the old minister has another proposal. The production of gunpowder involves the safety of our Tang Dynasty. The manufacturing tools and manufacturing methods cannot be leaked no matter what. I urge the Master to issue an immediate order to strictly prohibit the leakage of alcohol simplified manufacturing today. Anyone who uses simplified manufacturing to make gunpowder by the public must do his best to investigate the source of their manufacturing methods and punish those who leak secrets strictly!

"I'm asking!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Chune immediately spoke loudly next to him.

"I am following the proposal." Zong Chukeba was not allowed to leave Sha Chongyi in Chang'an, so that he could find another opportunity to help him restore his post at any time, and he also expressed his deep agreement.

A few of them took the lead, and immediately seven or eight middle and lower-level officials responded. Naturally, a momentum was formed. The right servant Xiao Zhizhong, although he was not the same as Zong Chuke, also felt that he would leave Sha Chongyi in Chang'an and send someone to monitor him nearby. The possibility of leaking the information was less than that of exiling him to the place. He smiled and decisively followed the flow. "Master, I will discuss it!"

In this way, the proposal to strictly prohibit the production of alcohol by simple methods has become a foregone conclusion. Zhang Qian's move to use pure copper to build a medicine pot has become a long-term plan. No one can accuse him of wasting public funds. Even if someone really discovers a more cost-effective and efficient method in the future, he can only continue to make mistakes.

"This, how is this possible! I'm really not dreaming?" He listened to the benefits and "smashed" him one after another. Zhang Qian wanted to turn around and bit his fingers hard first!

The technical content of extracting alcohol from rice wine is extremely low. When the window paper is pierced, even if he uses all his money and connections, he cannot stop the liquor workshops that have been purified by the local method from blooming everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. However, in order to keep it confidential, the court took the initiative to nail a layer of iron plate outside the "window paper"!

It can be foreseen that when the ban is issued, the popularity of high-alcohol in the Tang Dynasty will be delayed by at least five years. Without high concentrations of alcohol, it will be even more difficult for the people to crack the manufacturing formula and technology of flower dew.

If you cannot crack the formula of Hualu Water, you can continue to eat alone.

Liushen Trading Company will become more vigorous after eating for a while. When he becomes a capital monster...

"Well, um, um, um..." The old man was short of breath and said a little more than he had just spoken. Attorney Yang Feng suddenly bent down again and started coughing softly.

After all, the other party was also the grandfather of the Ruby Girl. Zhang Qian quickly put away the ecstasy in his heart and cast his eyes to determine whether he needed help from himself.

However, he was surprised to find that the old fox quietly pointed his face at him, his two wrinkled triangle eyes, blinking so proudly! The third update, I am a hardworking little bee. Please recommend, collect, and reward. The wine apprentice
