Li Shimin

Chapter 834 Explosion!

Li Xuan didn't pay attention to this.

Combining past and present lives, this is the first time for Li Xuan to play with artillery like this!
I can't help being a little excited.

On the side, although Le Tai was a little surprised that Li Xuan was so excited, he didn't think much about it under his tense expression.

Carefully watching Li Xuan operate step by step, even more careful than watching Li Shimin.

Then, after a set of actions is completed.

As the green smoke rose, Le Tai hurriedly followed behind Li Xuan and ran into the distance.

"Boom..."

A loud bang.

On the hilltop in the distance, another deep pit was blasted out.

Li Xuan held up his clairvoyance and admired it contentedly for a moment, then picked up another bomb, stuffed it into the barrel, and ignited it.

"Boom..."

On the hilltop in the distance, a deep pit appeared again.

"Aye, Lu'er wants to play too!"

At the time of the third bomb, Li Chenglu looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

Li Xuan froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"can!"

"Thank you Aye!"

Li Chenglu was overjoyed.

Li Xuan handed the bomb to Li Chenglu, and then tightly guarded Li Chenglu's side. After recovering the cannon, he and Le Tai carefully taught Li Chenglu how to fire the cannon.

After Li Chenglu lit the fuse, Li Xuan lifted Li Chenglu up with one hand, and then ran to the shade of a tree in the distance.

Li Chenglu, on the other hand, stared at the artillery with excitement.

"boom……"

Blue smoke rose from the muzzle, and a deep pit appeared again on the hilltop in the distance.

"Aye, Aye, my cannon also blasted a big hole!"

Holding clairvoyance, Li Chenglu was overjoyed when he saw the big hole that was newly blown up.

"Lu'er is brave!"

Li Xuan praised.

"hey-hey……"

Li Chenglu smiled.

"However, you have to see that this kind of cannon is so powerful, you must not fire it by yourself!" Li Xuan took the opportunity to exhort with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Ayer!"

Although he was still a little bit reluctant, Li Chenglu, who knew his Aye's temper well, could only obediently agree.

"Hey, His Royal Highness King Jin, now it's time for Lao Cheng to fire the cannon!"

And hearing this, Cheng Zhijie who was on the side hurried over.

This time, Cheng Zhijie was anxious to wait.

"Mr. Su, do as you please!"

Li Xuan nodded.

"Thank you, Your Highness King Jin!"

Cheng Zhijie was overjoyed, picked up a piece of ice, and ran towards the cannon.

On the side, Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling and others, with a flash of their eyes, also surrounded the artillery.

After a while.

There was a burst of roaring sound.

On the hilltop in the distance, seedlings were suddenly hit, and deep pits were blasted out!

As for Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others, the more they played, the more excited they became. The last few people got together and competed to blow up trees with cannons!
In less than an hour, the top of the mountain was completely bare.

The ice cubes brought by Zheng Fu and others were quickly consumed.

Two hours later.

After Yu Chigong lit the fuse, Li Xuan and Li Shimin, who were already a little numb, turned their heads slowly and looked into the distance.

Ok?
However, after waiting for more than ten breaths, there was no explosion.

Li Xuan's face changed, "The bomb has not been launched, everyone, run away!"

At the same time, he directly picked up Li Chenglu beside him, and hid behind the tree.

"The bomb didn't go out!"

Letai and a group of moxie practitioners also reacted, shouting and running away.

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and the others finally reacted and ran away quickly.

It's just that when a group of people ran more than ten steps away again, they hid behind big trees.When I looked back, I found that the artillery was still intact, there was no movement at all, let alone exploded!
All the people couldn't help but look at each other!

"Xuanba, did Jingde not light the fuse?"

Hiding behind a tree, Li Shimin said with some doubts.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I must have lit the fuse!"

"Exactly, Your Majesty, I also watched Duke E light the fuse!"

Before Li Xuan could speak, Yuchi Jingde, Le Tai and the others said with certainty.

"Then why is that so?"

Li Shimin said in surprise!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have never encountered this matter before!"

Le Tai looked puzzled.

Li Xuan thought for a while, picked up a small stone from the ground, and threw it towards the cannon!

The first one, missed!

"Aye, here you are!"

Li Chenglu held a stone in his hand and handed it to Li Xuan.

Seeing this, Li Xuan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he went straight over the stone and threw it towards the cannon.

"When~"

There was a crisp sound of hitting the cannon, which made Li Xuan, Li Shimin and others tense up.

However, after waiting for a while, there was still no movement.

Seeing this, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others relaxed, "Xuanba, I must be too nervous!"

With that said, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others walked out from behind the tree with relaxed faces.

"Your Majesty, it's better to check it later!"

Seeing Li Shimin walking straight towards the artillery, Li Wei quickly saw Li Shimin in front of him.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, there is still a bomb in the cannon, which is extremely dangerous, and I should go and investigate it!"

Le Tai also said quickly.

Li Shimin smiled lightly, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's been such a long time, since the bomb in the cannon hasn't exploded, then it's all right..."

"boom……"

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, there was a loud bang from the cannon.

Immediately, smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Around, there was the sound of tinkling steel hitting the ground.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

The faces of Li Wei, Cheng Zhijie and others changed drastically, they quickly surrounded Li Shimin and hid behind the tree.

Li Xuan dragged Li Chenglu and hid behind the tree.

After Li Xuan's smoke cleared, Li Xuan poked his head out from behind the tree.

The cannon in the distance was blown to pieces.

Even the support and base of the artillery were blown out a large part.

Scattered pieces of steel were inserted into the tree trunks within a five-step radius.

Seeing this, Li Xuan felt a chill in his heart.

At this time, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others, who were still in shock, also came out from behind the tree.

Seeing this scene, everyone had a look of lingering fear.

Especially Li Shimin, fortunately he didn't pass by just now, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!
As for Yue Tai and other Mohist rulers, they just stood there with fear on their faces.

The cannons they made nearly blasted away His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and several Dukes and Counties!

"Your Majesty, forgive me, I deserve death!"

"It's okay, it's a great achievement to be able to create this kind of artifact. This is just an accident, and I don't blame you!"

Li Shimin said gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Now, Letai and other Mo-curers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's go and collect all the cannon fragments and see if we can find out the reason!" Li Xuan ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Le Tai and the others were shocked and responded quickly.

Immediately, a group of Mohists hurriedly collected artillery fragments.

The artillery was directly blown up, not only lost the interesting objects, but also almost had an accident!
Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others had no intention of staying on the mountain, so they went directly down the mountain.

When going down the mountain.

Li Wei was still tense all over, tightly guarding Li Shimin's sides.

Because they were covered in dust and they were frightened, after they got down the mountain, Li Shimin and others got into the carriage and headed for the palace.

The gate of the other courtyard.

Looking at the team of carriages going away, Li Chenglu blinked his small eyes a few times.

"Aye, is your uncle frightened?"

"Don't make random guesses!"

Li Xuan lowered his head and glared at Li Chenglu, and said: "Your Majesty has experienced hundreds of battles, I don't know how many battles he has fought, how could he be frightened by the explosion of a small artillery!"

"Then why did Uncle His Majesty leave in such a hurry?"

Li Chenglu asked.

"You are covered in dust, is it uncomfortable to be wrapped around your body?" Li Xuan asked.

"Uncomfortable!"

Li Chenglu replied honestly, and couldn't help moving his body while speaking.

"That's right, Your Majesty is rushing back to take a shower!"

Li Xuan said.

"I see!"

Lee Seung-rok is thoughtful!
"Lu'er, were you frightened when the artillery exploded?" Li Xuan asked again.

"A little!"

Li Chenglu nodded slightly.

"Is it dangerous to play with artillery?"

Li Xuan asked again.

"Dangerous!" Li Chenglu said.

"Think about it again, if you were standing in front of the cannon and ignited the fuse, and suddenly the bomb exploded directly, what do you think will happen to you?" Li Xuan asked.

"what?"

Thinking of the scene where he was blown to pieces by the artillery, Li Chenglu shuddered subconsciously, his face turned pale.

"In the future, you must never set off cannons alone, not even bombs, larger firecrackers!"

Li Xuan took the opportunity to say, "Otherwise something unexpected happens, your little body will be blown to pieces!"

Li Chenglu trembled again, and quickly hugged Li Xuan's thigh tightly.

"Aye, don't worry, Lu'er will never play with firecrackers and bombs alone..."

"Very good, let's go wash up!"

"Yes, Aye..."

……

On the third day, Yuetai and Li Yuanjia asked to see Li Xuan.

"Find out the reason?"

Seeing the expressions of the two, Li Xuan asked curiously.

"Brother Wang, Yuan Jia is incompetent. The bomb has blown up the entire steel cylinder to pieces, and the bomb has even turned into powder. Even if we piece together the whole cannon, we have been investigating for two days, but we haven't found the problem yet. !"

Li Yuanjia said with a face full of shame.

Li Xuan smiled lightly and did not blame him.

"It's okay, when you are improving the artillery, you need to take this kind of accident into consideration, in case our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are fighting the enemy, the bomb not only fails to fire, but also kills our own people!"

"Yes, brother Wang (big king)!"

Li Yuanjia and Letai hurriedly bowed their hands together.

"What else is there for you?"

Li Xuan asked again.

"Brother Wang, I'm fine now!"

Li Yuanjia glanced at the bandstand beside him, and said slowly.

"Since there is nothing wrong, let's go back!"

Li Xuan said slowly.

"Yes, brother Wang (big king)!"

Hearing this, Li Yuanjia and Letai hurriedly got up and bowed their hands to Li Xuan.

After the two went out, Li Xuan took advantage of the situation and lay down.

Since the cannon was blown up, his Lijiazhuang has been completely quiet.

I don't know what kind of mentality Li Shimin and others are in. They neither come by themselves nor send people to inquire about the situation.

In this regard, Li Xuan was also happy to relax.

As for Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others, they had already set off for Weinan yesterday.

The group of bastards who came to Lijiazhuang most frequently also started their own tasks. Li Xuan felt that he could finally stay in Lijiazhuang's house quietly for a few months.

at the same time.

In the states of the Tang Dynasty.

A shop named Datang Qianzhuang was established, and they were all established on the nearby streets close to the Yamen of Zhechong Prefectures.

All the people were very surprised to see this.

As for the aristocratic families and merchants in various states, they were surprised for a while.

Immediately, he was overjoyed.

All the aristocratic families and merchants who have a little connection in the Datang Bank know it very well.

The Datang Bank is the property of His Majesty today, and there are also members of the King of Jin and the nobles and nobles in the court. Even in the Datang Bank, there are Qinghe Cui, Xingyang Zheng, Boling Cui, and Longxi Li. Shi, Zhaojun Li, Jingzhao Webster, Hedong Liu, Hongnong Yang... members of more than a dozen powerful families.

It can be said that Datang Qianzhuang is a shop with the most owners and the most powerful influence in Datang.

Moreover, it is also a shop that is most worthy of the trust of all the families and people in the Tang Dynasty. As long as the Tang Dynasty is not destroyed, the Datang Bank will not lose its trust with the people of the world!

As long as money is deposited in any bank, it can be withdrawn from the Datang bank thousands of miles away.

However, after the distance exceeds a thousand miles, a certain amount of transshipment fee is required!
And one thousand guan only needs a transfer fee of [-] yuan, which is nothing to a caravan that has been trading all year round.

Soon, just a month's work.

The Datang bank in every prefecture city of the Tang Dynasty deposited tens of thousands of coins, and even some states with many families directly deposited hundreds of thousands of coins.

As for the Datang Bank in Chang'an City, there are hundreds of dignitaries, aristocratic families, and merchants directly depositing money.

Therefore, the Tang Bank in Chang'an City directly deposited tens of millions of copper coins!

"The dignitaries and families in Chang'an City are so rich?"

After listening, Li Xuan couldn't help being surprised.

"There are also aristocratic families and merchants from the surrounding counties who also come to the Datang Bank in Chang'an City to deposit money! Only in this way can the Datang Bank in Chang'an City store so many copper coins!"

The housekeeper, Li Chang, reported excitedly.

After a pause, Li Chang reported again.

"Your Majesty, the family has also deposited 60 yuan in the bank! However, the farmers in the village don't have much money at home, and they don't go out to do business, so they don't save any money!"

"No problem! The bank at this meeting is mainly built for the caravans of the Tang Dynasty. It is not bad for the common people to have enough to eat. Where does the money come from to save the bank!"

Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang responded!

……

Shunzhou!

It was in the fourth year of Zhenguan, after the Great Tang eradicated the Eastern Turks, that the state city began to be built. It had 40 households and more than [-] people. Most of them were Han Chinese who came back from the Turks, and the other half were returnees. Turkic people, and a small half are merchants and family members who went to do business in the Tang Dynasty.

Shunzhou is located on the prairie, a natural pasture.

In addition, more than half of the people in Shunzhou are good at riding and shooting, and herding sheep, cattle, and horses.

Therefore, Shunzhou was regarded as the largest trading city for cattle and sheep.

With the construction of the cement road from Chang'an to Liangzhou, Shunzhou has developed even more rapidly in the past few years!
Every year, hundreds of caravans come to Shunzhou from all over the Tang Dynasty, bringing silk, tea, salt, grain, etc. from all over the Tang Dynasty.

Then, millions of catties of mutton, wool, beef, strong cattle, and horses were exchanged or bought from Shunzhou, and then sold back to various parts of Datang.

The monthly trading volume is hundreds of thousands!

Especially in the months between the autumn harvest and the snow in winter.

More caravans going to Shunzhou!
In this regard, the Datang Bank, which had just been built in Shunzhou City, was very busy before it got used to it!
