Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 93

Li Jing said that this thing is of great use, of course Li Shimin knew that, after all, he was also a military general, and he knew at a glance that it would be used on the battlefield.How powerful is it.

Li Shimin quickly arrived at the place where the explosion occurred. Looking at the hole, although it was not big, it was just a bamboo tube.

"A small bamboo tube has such power. I see, there is not much gunpowder in it, right?" Li Shimin looked at the hole and asked.

"It's definitely not much, it's so light, look at your majesty!" Cheng Yaojin said and handed the remaining bamboo tube to Li Shimin. Li Shimin weighed it in his hand, and it was indeed very light.

"Your Majesty, when the ministers cover this bamboo tube with stones and set it on fire, Your Majesty will be able to see how powerful it is. It is even more powerful than throwing it on the open ground like this!" Cheng Yaojin said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Okay, let's do it, let's retreat back!" Li Shimin nodded, thinking about this matter in his heart. The other ministers followed him and retreated to the back, while Cheng Yaojin continued to stuff stones into the bamboo tube there. go.

"Your Majesty, Wei Hao is a talented person. After a trip to the Ministry of Works, he was able to get gunpowder out. And the Ministry of Works, I don't know if there has been any research on this thing before." Fang Xuanling stood at the Next to him, he looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Well, I don't know about this either, but it's not easy to be able to make this thing." Li Shimin nodded, and he already wanted to see Wei Hao. It is very useful. From the beginning of the paper to the current gunpowder, it is used to contribute to the court.

"Your Majesty, I'm ready here." Cheng Yaojin stood up, looked at Li Shimin behind him and shouted.

"Then let's order it." Li Shimin also shouted at Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin heard it and immediately squatted down. After lighting the fuse, he turned around and ran. He also ran for about 20 meters. Kim got down immediately.

"Boom!" Li Shimin and the others saw a big rock flying up, flying very high, and then falling heavily on the ground.

"Your Majesty, look!" Cheng Yaojin stood up from the ground at this moment, proudly looking at the big hole behind, still smoking.

"Is it so powerful?" Li Shimin and the others were also stunned. The explosion of a small bamboo tube could actually blow up such a big stone. Li Shimin said and walked forward.

And Wei Hao was at the Ministry of Industry. After hearing the explosion, he immediately said helplessly: "These two bamboo tubes were just blown up by him? This is too fast, right?"

After hearing this, Duan Lun said to Wei Hao with a wry smile: "Master Wei, you should concentrate on this, the gunpowder can't escape."

"This one can't run, isn't it working now?" Wei Hao replied with a smile and continued to instruct the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works to work.

"Your Majesty, look, this hole is big. If we were to siege the city, we would stuff the bamboo tubes into the cracks of the city wall and put enough gunpowder. With a little bombardment, we might be able to blow up the city wall." Cheng Next to Yaojin, he said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Well, gone?" Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin's empty hand and asked.

"Ah? Oh, no, just two. Wei Hao made a total of eight. He bombed three himself. I bombed three over there. The last two are here." Cheng Yaojin smiled. He said to Li Shimin.

"Well, let him do some more?" Li Shimin said and looked at the other ministers.

"Your Majesty, this is not necessary, anyway, the effect can be seen, let Wei Hao come up with the production method, and how to apply it later, I think only Wei Hao knows, although we can guess some, but how to achieve it, You may not know as much as Wei Hao!" Li Jing suggested at the moment looking at Li Shimin.

"Yes, Your Majesty, now Wei Hao is instructing the Ministry of Works to do fine salt and gunpowder. Anyway, Wei Hao will meet, don't worry, now Your Majesty, you are not summoning him, if you do, you can!" Fang Xuanling knew something about Wei Hao and Li Shimin, and also knew why he didn't summon Wei Hao.

"Well, that's fine. By the way, the people of Chang'an City are probably frightened enough by these explosions. The Ministry of Civil Affairs will immediately post an announcement to appease the people. This Wei Hanzi, come to the palace. , we have to do something." Li Shimin smiled wryly as he spoke.

Fang Xuanling laughed when he heard it. The other ministers didn't know what he was laughing at. Wei Hao, who was in the Ministry of Industry, was busy until noon before he taught the craftsmen. Wei Hao looked at them. Do it once, and go back only after everything is done.And Duan Lun also arrived at the Ganlu Temple. At this moment, those ministers have already gone back.

"Is the fine salt ready?" Li Shimin asked Duan Lun who had just come in.

"Go back to Your Majesty, we've got it all out, and our craftsmen have also mastered this skill." Duan Lun waved his hand quickly and said.

"Well, what the hell is going on with that gunpowder?" Li Shimin looked at Duan Lun and continued to ask.

"Go back to Your Majesty, at this time, this minister also wants to report, it's like this." Duan Lun immediately reported to Li Shimin all the process from Wang Jun's office on fire to Wei Hao's production of gunpowder.

"Oh, so, the Ministry of Industry was also researching gunpowder before, but it didn't come out, and Wei Hao just came to the Ministry of Engineering and researched it?" Li Shimin felt a little shocked when he heard it.

"Yes, and he is very familiar with the use of gunpowder. At first, Wang Jun didn't know that gunpowder can still be put in a bamboo tube, and it can still cause such a loud explosion." Duan Lun nodded and said.

"Then according to what you said, Wei Hao made this gunpowder before? How could he, who taught him it?" Li Shimin immediately stared at Duan Lun and asked, now thinking that Wei Hao made the paper, Porcelain and so on, this is not something that a fool can do. If you don't have any skills, you can't do it.

"This, I don't know, maybe someone taught him." Duan Lun said immediately.

"Well, it's also possible, okay, I want to ask you something, let Wei Hao come to the Ministry of Industry to be on duty, okay? Of course, not yet, he hasn't won the championship, but this winter, he will be crowned, crowned Now, I can give him an official and let him come to the Ministry of Industry?" Li Shimin looked at Duan Lun and asked.

"This, of course, is good, but, Your Majesty, you also know that the Ministry of Industry is a rigorous place, whether it is doing things or doing research, it needs research, and Lord Wei, I also know that he is a man. Straight-faced, if you come to the Ministry of Industry, if you suffer some grievances and cause conflicts at that time, it will not be good." Duan Lun immediately became a little reluctant when he heard this. He was still a little scared, Wei Hao had fought so many fights outside, he knew it.

"Oh, I know, I will talk about him and let him restrain some of his own character. Wouldn't that be better?" Li Shimin looked at him and continued.

"Yes, if Your Majesty asks him to come, of course our Ministry of Industry has no objection." Duan Lun heard what Li Shimin said, so what else did he say?

"Okay, let's just do this first, and ask Wei Hanzi what he means." Li Shimin knew that Duan Lun was unwilling, but Li Shimin still hoped that Wei Hao could make a greater contribution to the court in the Ministry of Industry.

At noon, Li Shimin went to the Lizheng Hall, mainly because he knew that Li Lizhi would bring meals from the Juxian Hall every day, and Li Shimin was now picky.

"Your Majesty, there is a huge explosion in the palace today. What's going on? The people are panicking, and the puppies raised by the slaves are all frightened!" Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Hey, don't mention it, what Wei Hanzi did." Li Shimin said with a wry smile.

"Ah, him, what happened to him?" Li Lizhi, who was holding Si Zi, looked at Li Shimin in surprise.

"In the Ministry of Industry, I made a gunpowder and stuffed it into a bamboo tube. When it was ignited, it would explode with great power. This move would be of great help to my military affairs. This kid is still a little capable.

By the way, Lizhi, the royal father asks you, how does Wei Hao understand those things? I remember that the words he wrote were very ugly. How could he be so familiar with these things? "Li Shimin looked at Li Li and questioned him. Regarding this matter, Li Shimin couldn't understand why a person who was ignorant and ignorant could have these things.

"I don't know about this daughter. Anyway, he said that, except for reading, not having children, everything else is fine." Li Lizhi said with a smile and shook his head.

"This kid has a very strong tone." Li Shimin laughed when he heard it.

"Your Majesty, no matter how he got it, it's good that his ability can be used by the court." Empress Zhangsun also smiled.

"That's right, Lizhi, go and ask Wei Hanzi if he is willing to serve in the Ministry of Works. After he is crowned, I will let him serve as the servant of the Ministry of Engineering." Li Shimin spoke to Li Lizhi again, and Li Lizhi heard it. , I was stunned for a moment, and Empress Changsun was also a little surprised. It was too high a starting point to be the servant of the Ministry of Industry at such a young age.

"Okay, but Emperor Father, he has just entered the official career, so of course the minister of the Ministry of Industry will be dissatisfied with those ministers. Is it a bit high?" Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"This is also what the concubine means, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!" Empress Zhangsun also nodded to Li Shimin and said.

"It's okay, I have never been able to find a suitable person in the Ministry of Works. The two servants of the Ministry of Works have been vacant, and Duan Lun is getting old, and he feels that he has no successor, so it is not unreasonable to let Wei Hao go. Yes, and the Ministry of Industry is not a stall that anyone can pick up." Li Shimin shook his head and smiled and said, the Ministry of Industry is indeed in a troublesome situation, and no one is available.
