Regarding the emperor's life, no one was careless. The ministers supported Zhao Kuangyin to retreat and retreated for more than a mile. Some ministers rushed to stand in front of Zhao Kuangyin in order to show their performance.

Song Jiu looked at them and looked at Zhao Kuangyi again. Zhao Kuangyi said that he was thick-skinned and thick, and those people were even more shameless. He shook his head and ordered the soldiers to clear the field, mainly because he was afraid of some children of the people on Hezhou. Now ordinary people raise children all over the place. Adults go out to work and let them play at home. If something goes by the city wall, it will be difficult to talk to them. Ask the soldiers to ask these people to find the children home together and temporarily lock them up to avoid accidents.

After the arrangement was made, Song Jiucai said: "Your Majesty, come some."

Unlike that day, this was the emperor's visit, and Zhao Kuangyin would be given a name later.

Zhao Kuangyin ignited the fuse with his tongue of flame.

In fact, Song Jiu was not used to seeing the flame tongue, and he had to keep scratching to make fire. However, this era was tragic, and it was not easy to build a match. Not to mention the match head, a match stick would also be very expensive at this time.

The leads burned quickly, and Song Jiu said, "Cover your ears."

Actually, no need to say, someone is covering his ears.

Not long after, a loud bang first came out, and then a large ball of soil soared into the sky. Perhaps a rush to work, many city wall bricks were burned into counterfeit products, crushed under the power of gunpowder explosion, and rushed into the sky with the soil. A small cloud of mushrooms scattered in the sky, falling like raindrops, scattered in more than a hundred steps. Then two sounds came out, and a gap was first blown out in the middle, and then the city walls on both sides fell one after another, leaving only the incomplete wall foundation.

The ministers held back the buzzing sound of their ears and looked at the blue bricks lying down seriously.

The huge power scared them, even though they were mentally prepared. However, this is a double-edged sword, which hurts others and yourself. It can deal with the enemy if it is used well, and it can also make the enemy if it is not used well. They even see a very bad consequence, that is, the city wall will lose its effect.

Not as serious as they thought.

Song Jiu was a little careful. He had a good height but had problems with length. The longer the length, the better the stability and firmness, and the shorter the length. On the contrary, how can a city wall worth more than ten meters be compared with a city wall worth tens of miles long? But the power to knock down the city wall is enough. There is no sky falling. If you dig a trench inside the city wall, there are at least seven ways to crack it. Even if you break through the city wall, if the enemy is fierce, you can still fight back outside the city and use the fence to block the gap.

Before the yellow gunpowder weapon appeared, the war still cared about the command ability of the commander. The army of Song Chu was handed over to Fan Yong for command. The tragedy of Sanchuankou would still happen. The group of scattered soldiers and brave peasants in the Northern Song Dynasty commanded Yue Fei, but it was an invincible army. Materials, weather, weapons, terrain, and logistics, in addition to the attitude of the court, were all secondary factors.

It will have an effect, which will make the enemy feel a little afraid and shocking. In addition, in the history of the Song Dynasty, many weapons were developed using extremely unstandard gunpowder. I believe that the weapons developed by this gunpowder are more powerful. But there is a prerequisite that someone must develop them.

Regarding the war, the lives and deaths of thousands of people, Song Jiu did not dare to neglect them. In the letter, he explained Zhao Kuangyi one by one, how to do it was the attitude of the court and had nothing to do with Song Jiu.

At this time, not many people knew the truth. The dust dissipated. Many people approached and looked at the big black hole that exploded on the ground with a more serious expression. Tao Gu said: "This is also a big weapon, so you must be careful."

"Tao Qing, I understand."

He also read Song Jiu's letter and clearly stated that its function is not military, but mainly civilian, so there is no need to say it immediately.

Someone looked at Song Jiu with strange eyes. Song Jiu was looking at the woods not far away. September was coming, and the grass and trees were yellow, and the geese were flying south, and a bleak thing was rolling up on the desolate sandbank. On the entire riverbank, only this little forest was a little brighter. But Zhao Kuangyi laughed silently. The scenery of the little woods seemed to be good, but there was another thing inside, a grave.

...

Then Zhao Kuangyin sent an imperial guard to guard the small courtyard day and night.

Someone proposed to transfer Song Jiu and twenty students to gunpowder together, which meant that they were afraid of technology leakage, so they controlled the twenty students in disguise. It was not that they attached importance to technology, but that the city wall fell, which actually jeopardized their safety.

Zhao Kuangyin did not agree. Song Jiu made it clear in his letter and drew a picture. Although he didn't understand it well, it proved that it did have a way to crack it. Besides, there were good things behind it, and twenty students controlled. How did Song Jiu get it out? Just like being an emperor himself, before he went up, someone was pulling it on top, and someone was carrying it down after going up. Then there was no need to say it himself, the imperial robe was put on.

I started to select officials who went to study again. They were frivolous and unscrupulous. Those who were not from the capital were not rejected. They were easily exploited by their families in other places. Those who were not smart in their heads seemed to be related to arithmetic. Those who were not good at arithmetic should not be good at arithmetic, those who were over forty or under 30 were not easy to accept new things, those who were under 30 were unstable, those who were under 30 were not bad, those who had bad habits, those who were greedy or those who had poor family background... It was obvious that they were more picky than electing ministers.

Then I issued an edict to move the tomb.

Zhao Kuangyi was tragic. The ministers were fine, but the people were in trouble. I care whether the city walls fell down, but the ancestral tombs could not be moved. There were dozens of families with good backgrounds and brought the people to cause trouble. They value internal governance, but they had to persuade, reason, compensate, and promise to bury the corpse one grave one coffin again. If you think the coffin prepared by the court is not good, the court can take out some money for them to prepare by themselves, and there are even other conditions.

Still not possible.

If you can't be soft, you can be hard, and both soft and hard are the king.

It’s not okay to be tough. Some people just cried and made trouble in Kaifeng Prefecture. The court was inappropriate and could not drag a hundred sticks to him. This made Kaifeng Prefecture unable to work normally for a while.

Zhao Kuangyi walked out again. His identity as the prefect of Kaifeng was very ordinary, and he had the identity of a crown prince behind him, who wanted to convince everyone. In fact, under a series of measures, fewer people were causing trouble. While talking, he saw a man holding a bread in his hand and biting a bread in his mouth. It was delicious and he couldn't bear to eat it and chew it slowly.

This is so familiar. Zhao Kuangyi took a few back and all his family liked to eat it. Zhao Kuangyi asked the servants at home to learn how to cook it and taste it. There were honey, frosting, chicken, cheese, apple juice, and a little oil. So the chef went to make it, but it was not the same thing when baking it.

It only appeared twice, and Zhao Kuangyi was lucky to meet it. It is said that the group of yamen took it home, and their family fell in love with it, and then yamen went to force Song Jiu, but Song Jiu said he was not free. He wanted to do a serious business, and yamen went back unhappily.

Now how did it appear in the hands of a commoner and asked, "Where did you get this fruit?"

"The king also likes it. It is a villain who passes by Xiangguo Temple. Someone is distributing it. He gets two. It is delicious. The villain is reluctant to eat it. Take this one home for the children to eat."

Zhao Kuangyi was so quarreled by the people. When he heard that he was brave enough, he said to the yamen runners: "Follow me."

It was not very far away, and I took the yamen runners to Xiangguo Temple and happened to see many people lined up in a long queue, a large group of students maintaining public order. Song Jiu and Yuping stood beside each other and whispered. The two students stood behind the table with rows of bread on the table.

A lineup of people went up, and there were about so many people watching. They were embarrassed and said shyly: "The delicious food in the sky, the unparalleled on the earth, and the uniqueness in the sky and the earth."

The guy booed together, and the man ran away with a loaf of bread.

Another person came up, and one of the students asked, "Have you remembered the lines?"

The man was brave and shouted: "Remember it."

The student said, "Then you read it out loud to the villagers."

“The delicious food in heaven, unparalleled on earth, and unique on heaven and earth.”

"Do you dare to do it again?"

The man read it loudly again, not reading it, but shouting. The student said, "It's not bad, you can get two pieces of fruit."

The man waved to everyone with two pieces of bread and walked down. There was another burst of laughter below.

Zhao Kuang was so angry that he said to the yamen runners: "Go and check his fruits together and catch that kid."
