    Wang Qi's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "Mo Liu, I have called you here this time because there is an extremely important matter that I want you to complete. Even this matter is related to the life and death of our country Qi."

    After Mo Liu heard this, he perked up.

    From Wang Qi¡¯s tone, he knew that something was unusual.

    It must be a huge thing.

    Mo Liu solemnly said: "Please give me your Majesty's orders, no matter what it is. Even if I go through fire and water, I will definitely complete your Majesty's arrangements."

    In the past, Mo Liu was just a fugitive. Although he said he was from Tiangongfang in Da Zhou, without Wang Qi, he would have to die in a foreign land.  Because of Wang Qi's presence, Mo Liu could become the minister he is today.

    This is the gratitude in Mo Liu¡¯s heart.

    No matter what entrustment Wang Qi has, even if Mo Liu dies, he will definitely complete it.

    Wang Qi smiled and said: "The matter is difficult, that's for sure, and there is considerable danger. But there is no need to go through fire and water. It's just that this matter is confidential and must not be leaked at all."

    Mo Liu said sternly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will summon a group of craftsmen separately. Everyone will be isolated and have no contact with the outside world. No information will be leaked until it is completed. I will be personally responsible for this matter."

    Generally speaking, the development of weapons and other secrets are kept in isolation.

    Mo Liu has some experience in this kind of thing.

    Wang Qi nodded, and then gave Mo Liu the production books for gunpowder, grenades, and landmines, and said in a deep voice: "The three weapons you want to develop are related to the future of Qi, so be careful. You choose people first.  , and then select the location separately. In addition, I will arrange for intelligence bureau personnel to keep an eye on this situation to avoid any omissions."

    "I obey the order!"

    After Mo Liu took it over, he didn¡¯t watch it for a while.

    The expression on his face was even more solemn.

    Wang Qi mentioned that this thing is related to the future of Qi State. You can imagine how serious this is.

    Mo Liu thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I will make arrangements for the personnel. However, the choice of location, I am considering Zhongnan Mountain. After all, Zhongnan Mountain is close to Chang'an, and it will not have much impact.  , off the beaten path.¡±

    "Even if we are in Zhongnan Mountain, it is not easy to leak our whereabouts. There is even Sanqing Temple in Zhongnan Mountain. If you really need help, you can ask Sanqing Temple for help."

    Wang Qidao: "Yes, the location will be Zhongnan Mountain. However, when it comes to Sanqing Temple, the secret cannot be leaked. This matter is currently the highest secret in Qi State."

    "Yes, I understand."

    Mo Liu nodded solemnly. He had no questions in mind, so he resigned and left the palace, returning to his office. At this time, he opened the book, and the first thing he read was gunpowder production.

    "After he read it all, especially Wang Qi's description of the power of gunpowder, which was enough to crack mountains and rocks, collapse bridges, etc., Mo Liu was speechless after reading it. This was simply unheard of.

    It was even more difficult for him to understand how Wang Qi knew about the production of such weapons.

    ¡°I can only say that this is something I was born with.

    Mo Liu gathered his thoughts and continued to read. It took him nearly two hours to read everything carefully. The look on his face was already full of shock.

    Grenade!

    Landmines!

    According to Wang Qi¡¯s explanation, these two simple weapons are not too difficult to make.  But the power of this weapon is extremely powerful.  If such a weapon is used properly, even a great master will suffer from it.

    Mo Liu already fully understands why it needs to be produced separately and must be kept secret.  This weapon is not kept secret. Once it spreads, the stability of Qi will inevitably be affected.

    This is an absolute secret.

    Mo Liu thought to himself that it shouldn't be difficult to make gunpowder.  After all, according to the production process, as long as the raw materials are gathered, the production and arrangements can be made directly without him having to worry about it.

    Mo Liu temporarily closed the book, thinking about the production matters and candidates.

    First, it¡¯s about selecting a location.

    ?Then, it¡¯s time to select personnel.

    As one of the six ministries, the Ministry of Industry naturally has considerable rights. To arrange the equipment and raw materials for making weapons, it only needs to be transferred, and there will not be any big problems.

    The biggest problem is the selection of personnel. There must be no mistakes.

    Theoretically speaking, many craftsmen under the Ministry of Industry were brought out by Mo Liu himself, which is equivalent toThey are Mo Liu's disciples, and they are all trustworthy.  The thing is, there must be an end to big mouths and leaks.

    ¡°If someone drinks some horse urine, just tell them with a loud mouth, and the news will be leaked.  Therefore, the matter of selecting people needs to be carefully considered.

    Mo Liu didn¡¯t even eat lunch. He wrote down the candidates he trusted and then screened them one by one.

    In the end, only ten people were left.

    These ten people, without exception, are all disciples brought out by Mo Liu himself.  In terms of the Ministry of Industry, these people are all considered master craftsmen in their own right, and they have already become masters.

    Mo Liu arranged for someone to notify them. In a short period of time, everyone was brought in and stood in the office one by one.

    The leader is named Kang Dalei.

    He is over thirty years old. He has a strong build and thick arms.  Especially those hands, which are covered with calluses. He is the most proud craftsman of Mo Liu Sect. When it comes to forging various instruments, he is extremely proficient in it, and he has a tendency of being better than his master.

    The weapons forged by Kang Dalei are no less than those of Mo Liu.

    In addition, he is also proficient in other siege equipment, bows and arrows, and agricultural tools that the people need to use.  The same forging process, in Kang Dalei's hands, is forged differently.

    Mo Liu nodded and said, "The ten of you were all trained by me. A few years have passed, and you are all good, and you are living well now. But, can I trust you?"

    Kang Dalei said: "Teacher, don't you understand us? No matter what you say, we will definitely complete it even if we go through fire and water. If you have anything to do, just tell us."

    "Teacher, just tell me."

    "Our lives are given by the teacher. We guarantee to complete the tasks given by the teacher."

    "Yes, I promise to complete the task."

    One by one, they kept expressing their opinions.

    They all have forged relatively confidential weapons, and they all know that when it comes to important tasks, it is definitely impossible to make them in public, and they must be kept secret, or even temporarily disappear from people's sight.

    Mo Liu nodded and said: "Since you are all prepared for this, I will tell you directly. Now, our Ministry of Industry has taken over the most confidential weapons manufacturing."

    "The first is a weapon called gunpowder; the second is a weapon called grenades; and the third is a weapon called landmines. These three weapons are now being developed in the direction of Zhongnan Mountain in the southwest of Chang'an."

    "I will give you one day to go home and make arrangements. Remember, all information must not be leaked. You can leave with me, but you can't go home temporarily because of work matters."

    "Once someone leaks it, it's not a matter of killing him, but a matter of killing the nine tribes."

    Mo Liu said in a deep voice, "Do you understand everything now?"

    "clear!"

    Everyone answered in unison.

    Kang Dalei took the initiative and said: "Teacher, what kind of object is it? I have never heard of the things you mentioned."

    Mo Liu said: "You don't care what you do, we will make arrangements when we get to the location."

    "yes!"

    Kang Dalei said no more.

    He and the others left directly.

    Mo Liu is currently at the Ministry of Industry alone. He wants to contact Chen Qinglong¡¯s intelligence bureau to ensure the stability of the news.  Although what was manufactured cannot be leaked, the specific matters need to be handled by Intelligence Bureau personnel.

    In addition, the raw materials involved, as well as the weapons to be manufactured in Zhongnan Mountain, the residences and the research and development sites must also be taken care of. These can be simply prepared and built while preparing, but they all need to be coordinated and arranged by Mo Liu in advance.

    Mo Liu is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. This time, he has to go and watch the weapons in person before they are manufactured. Therefore, he must arrange the matters of the Ministry of Industry in advance and let the Minister of the Ministry of Industry take charge of the matter.

    During his absence, the Ministry of Industry must still function.

    Everything was arranged and the day passed.  Early the next morning, all the craftsmen, headed by Kang Dalei, had arrived at the construction office and found Mo Liuqi to report.

    Mo Liu had already coordinated well, and without wasting any more time, he took his people and set off for Zhongnan Mountain.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
