Question: Tell me about the place where you were when you were in Bianliang.

Answer: Sir, it is a very big place. It is a village in the west of Bianliang City. There are more than a dozen workshops and five to six hundred people, all belonging to the same owner...

Question: Do you make gunpowder?

Answer: Yes, ordinary people’s families have been craftsmen making fireworks for generations. They originally had a small workshop, but unfortunately...

Question: How did you enter that Zhuangzi?

Answer: First, people from there came to invite them. Fireworks made by Xiaomin were a family craft, and they were reluctant to go to the store. Soon after, another fireworks shop opened opposite Xiaomin’s house. Their fireworks were of many types and exploded loudly.

They were all selling at a low price, and the common people couldn't compete with them, so business dwindled. Later, the people in Zhuangzi offered generous terms, so the common people had no choice but to go.

Question: After entering, did you learn how to improve gunpowder?

Answer: Yes.

Question: If gunpowder can be improved in this way, why didn't you think of it before?

Answer: The preparation of gunpowder was originally a method passed down from our ancestors. After entering the courtyard, I realized that there is such a particular place. All the rules in the courtyard are extremely particular. Even a cup or a glass of water is stipulated in how to use it.

Come to think of it, the process of preparing gunpowder is also a bit complicated, and Xiaomin had never thought of it before.

Question: Who came up with the process of improving gunpowder?

Answer: Xiao, Xiaomin doesn’t know. Mr. Gongsun is in charge of the gunpowder workshop, Mr. Lin is in charge of the entire compound, and there is another responsible person named Lin. They are all involved, but some people say that the improvement method

It was taught and taught by the boss himself, but Mr. Lin and the others were in charge of making it.

Question: What is the name of your boss?

Answer: Ning Yi, Ning Liheng.

Question: He later...killed your emperor.

Answer: Well, that’s him.

Q: Have you met him?

Answer: I've met him a few times. He treats us all to a meal every year, and sometimes he comes over to say hello. He's always discussing things with Mr. Lin and Mr. Gongsun. Xiaomin... I've probably seen him three or four times.

Question: What kind of person is he?

Answer: He is... young, but dignified. He always smiles when talking to us, but he rarely smiles when discussing things with Mr. Lin and Mr. Gongsun. No one dares to be too presumptuous in front of him.

Question: Do you know why he wanted to build a courtyard like that?

Answer: Xiaomin doesn’t know. He said he wanted to study some interesting things and sell them to Zhuji.

Question: Bamboo Records?

Answer: He also opened many shops, restaurants and teahouses, selling food, and went out to tell stories and perform tricks. They were all called Bamboo Records. From Bianliang, there were many big cities, and there were also many carts dragging things to the countryside to sell.

.

Question: How many types of workshops are there in the yard you are in?

Answer: I don’t know very well, some places are not allowed to enter. But I remember that there are gunpowder, cloth, wine, toilet water, paper making, blacksmithing, briquette making, fruit paste, dried meat...

Question: How much do you know about your employer?

Answer: Xiaomin... I only know that when the Heavenly Soldiers went south, he left the city and said he was going to... Jianbi Qianbi to clear the wilderness. Later, he said he was in Xia Village and won the battle. Xiaomin didn't know whether it was true or not.

, because later, it was said above that the Dong family colluded with the Youxiang Mansion, and the Youxiang Mansion collapsed, and the Dong family was also implicated.

Question: Yes. It was indeed them who defeated Medicine Master Guo’s resentful army in Xiacun, causing Medicine Master Guo to lead his troops to flee westward. Later, it was your employer who killed the emperor.

Answer: Yes, yes.

Question: Do you hate your employer?

Answer: Yes, he... No, Xiaomin, Xiaomin is a careless person, we can't talk about it, we can't talk about it...

Question: If he hadn’t killed Zhou Zhe, would he think that you wouldn’t have come here?

Answer: The common people... I don’t know. Moreover, Master Wang acts on behalf of Heaven, so it is a good thing for the common people to come here...

Question: ...if I said that your boss's battle in Xiacun really caused a big obstacle to our army's capture of Bianliang, would you think...

answer:……

...Heh. Forget it, I won’t embarrass you...

…

A bang sounded on the slope on the other side of the mountain. A group of people wearing official uniforms of the Jin Kingdom walked over and looked at the traces of the explosion. On the stage here, several officials were sitting drinking tea and had not moved yet.

The highest-ranking person here is Wanyan Xiyin, the Right Supervisor of the Marshal's Mansion, and Shi Liai, the minister who is a Han nationality and is appointed to the Privy Council. Xiyin shook his head: "The power seems to have increased, but it has to be used on the battlefield.

, it seems that it still needs improvement.”

Shi Liai nodded: "These people have just started to work, and there is still room for improvement." After saying this, he frowned slightly, "I have heard about the Ning surnamed person who killed the king in the Wu Dynasty, but I didn't expect it.

, Master Gushen is actually paying attention to him."

Wanyan Xiyin was the person who understood Sinology best among the Jurchen officials, and was both civil and military. This Han minister Shi Liai was originally a famous talent in the land of Yanyun. His family was a powerful gentry. He originally worked for Zhang Jue.

When Zhang Jue wanted to judge the Wu Dynasty, Shi Liai immediately became an official and returned home. When the Wu Dynasty took back Yanyun and several states, he sent people several times to invite Shi Liai to become an official. However, Shi Liai knew very well about the decay of the Wu Dynasty.

Deep and unwilling to surrender. In the end, Yan Yun fell into the hands of the Jin people, and he became an official. At this time, he was in charge of the Privy Council under Marshal Zong Han, with more than ten thousand people. Among the court officials, Xi Yin and Shi Li Ai were two

They are also very agreeable and can be considered good friends.

"I didn't pay much attention to this person originally. In the past two days, Xixia war reports came out and I found out a few things. That's why I asked about the gunpowder matter." Xiyin smiled, "Speaking of which, this person and I had previously

There is a point."

"Oh? Master Gushen has fought against him?"

"No, it was just that when the army entered Bianliang, everyone was focused on collecting the gold and silver of the Wu Dynasty. A certain person specially asked people to search for rare books and classics of the Wu Dynasty, but they found not much. Later I found out that this person committed regicide and occupied Bianliang for two or three days, and left

Not only did we seize a large amount of ordnance and military supplies, but we also searched several book collection places in Bianliang City and loaded them into dozens of carts and took them away. It is a pity to have taken a step ahead."

Shi Liai laughed: "Lord Gu Shen seems to have some sympathy for this person."

"We can't talk about mutual sympathy. The culture of the South is as bright as the stars and as vast as the sea. Sometimes, things that happen in the South are regrettable, but in this culture, there are always some people who are admirable and sighing. Like this one

A few years before he took the throne, he had been laying out plans for Bianliang. When the army went south, he went to the front in person, and even faced death and defeated Guo Yaoshi and Guo Yaoshi's two brothers. But they were all lost in his hands. After such meritorious deeds,

After he returned, he was falsely accused and suppressed. He killed the king with his own hands in the Golden Palace. He was truly a hero of his generation, which made people applaud him." He said, patting his thigh lightly, "I have never seen Zhou Zhe's expression when he died, but it's a pity.

.”

Wanyan Xiyin had a transcendent status among the Jurchens. At this time, he spoke out what was in his heart. Shi Liai's eyes were complicated and he lowered his voice: "Lord Gu Shen, please speak carefully. After all, this person committed regicide..."

"Haha, Master Shi, you are too safe." Wanyan Xiyin smiled nonchalantly and patted his shoulder, "The Jurchen court is different from the Han court. We can kill people from the white mountains and black waters.

To come out, it depends on the unity of the superiors and the soldiers, not on anyone's flattery and slander, but on flattery. Having such a king in the Wu Dynasty is a sign of subjugation. Killing him with a sword will be very satisfying! Our Jin Kingdom can conquer the world, how can it be like Qianqiu?

The truth of a hundred generations. If there is an emperor of the Jin Kingdom who behaves like this in the future, it also means that our Jin Kingdom is on the verge of destruction. We should speak out loud about this truth to be on guard. If anyone makes random extensions, it’s just right, I

So I killed him with one sword to prevent these rats from disrupting the court of our Kingdom of Jin."

Although he is the creator of Jurchen characters, he has always been polite and courteous throughout his life in the army, but he is not angry and powerful when holding a sword. Even if he beats several of his own children, he can beat him. The fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi and him

There were some festivals, and I was as scared as a tiger. At this time, the two of them were talking, and there were other people around. Shi Liai, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism, advised him to be cautious. Wanyan Xiyin glanced over, and everyone was silent and didn't dare.

Looking at each other.

Wanyan Xiyin's behavior is not flamboyant at all. At this time, the Jin Dynasty court is indeed as he said, and he can speak whatever he says. Even Wu Qimai was slapped by the minister if he did something wrong.

Wanyan Xiyin was a real founding hero, and his ranking in the Jurchen court could be among the top ten. He didn't care about the straightforward words he said. But after he finished speaking, he became solemn and slightly nostalgic.

"Master Shi, do you know? The battle in the northwest of the Wu Dynasty reminded me of my experience during the uprising. In the early years, the tribe was oppressed by the Liao people. We had known that there would be a battle, so we came out of Hedian

, the Liao people raised an army of 100,000 people, but we only had more than 3,000 men in armor. The late emperor led us in a night attack, which was heroic and heroic. However, when we were in the military formation and knew that there were 100,000 people on the other side, we felt like

It’s hard for you to know…”

He paused slightly: "As far as the guard post is reached, there are 700,000 Liao people and 20,000 of our troops. To put it bluntly, it is the Jurchens who are invincible, and it is the Liao people who have caused civil strife. This and that. But we are on the battlefield.

, who is not gritting his teeth and moving forward. Talking about this kind of military strategy and that kind of military strategy, the truth is that even if there is no military strategy, we can only move forward. We have no fortune at all. If we take a step back, we will all die."

Wanyan Xiyin said these words with a calm look, but he also had the calmness after having experienced a big battle and passed through life and death: "I told everyone before that you should not underestimate the Han people. It is a pity that I value them, but the Han people do not

I have never been given a face. Now I can finally say that the Han people also have heroes. The Lord of the time is the same generation as the heroes and the world competes with them. We can be proud of them."

"Lord Gu Shen has a clear warning." Shi Liai, whose hair was mixed in black and white, nodded, and after a moment, he slowly said, "It is just a regicide. Since ancient times, it is difficult to achieve great achievements. Even if it is publicized for a while, I am afraid it will only be a flash in the pan and will not last long.

Mr. Shi felt that he might be able to live in a small corner, but if the world is competing, he might not be qualified."

Wanyan Xiyin stretched out his hand and tapped his thigh. He was silent for a moment. After a while, he laughed: "What Mr. Shi said is indeed true... Come here." He called the officials behind him, "All the gunpowder among the Han people going north this time.

Fireworks makers, no matter where they are now, I want them all."

"Yes." The man accepted the order and then went down.

Wanyan Xiyin stood up, and Shi Liai and others also stood up. After looking at the platform for a few times, he turned around and started walking down. Shi Liai followed beside him, and Xiyin turned his head sideways and whispered.

Conversation, the breeze carried the sound of conversation faintly.

"It would be unwise for the Wu Dynasty to establish a new emperor..."

"...Fame Wu...wait for next year..."
To be continued...
