Li Shimin

Chapter 846 These are enough for them to study for ten years
Hearing this, Li Shimin turned his head to look at the band, and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The band quickly saluted.

Although they dared to pull the cannon, they had already guaranteed that there would be no problems with the cannon.However, now that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is going to test the cannon, they can't help but be extremely careful.

Li Shimin took Li Yuanjia and retreated to Li Xuan's side.

A disciple of the Mo family hurried over, took a bomb, and handed it to the bandstand.

After carefully inspecting the cannon again, Letai ignited the fuse.

"Boom~"

There was a loud noise, and snowflakes flew directly from the top of the mountain in the distance!
"Fortunately, the snow on the opposite mountain is as deep as half a person, otherwise it would be a burning mountain in winter!"

Holding up the clairvoyance in his hand, Li Xuan clicked his tongue slightly and said with emotion as he looked at the pitch-black bullet marks on the mountain in the distance.

However, Li Shimin, Li Yuanjia, and Li Wei at the side, none of them would pay attention to Li Xuan's words.

All of them were full of surprises.

"Xuan Ba, the mountain that the artillery blasted this time should be two thousand steps away from the mountain where we are!"

"There should be two thousand steps!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"Hahaha, very good!"

Li Shimin's face was overjoyed, and his muscles were beating with excitement.

Immediately, he put the clairvoyance in his hand into his bosom, and ran towards the artillery.

"Carpenter Mohou, let me observe, is the firing process of this cannon the same as that of the previous one?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Le Tai quickly replied.

"Very good!"

Li Shimin directly returned the cannon to its original position, and then began to check the cannon. After a short operation, he took the bomb in Li Wei's hand, stuffed it into the cannon, ignited it, and ran away.

"Boom~"

After a loud bang.

Li Shimin picked up his clairvoyance and looked for a long time, but he couldn't find the mountain that the bomb he planted had blown up, so he couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Xuanba, can you find the mountain top where I planted the bomb?"

"Return to Your Majesty, no!"

Li Xuan held up his shiny clairvoyance that had been taken away by him, and replied with a serious face.

"how so?"

Li Shimin asked.

"It should have exploded behind the mountain or below the valley!"

Li Xuan still held his clairvoyance and looked around.

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "Why can the bombs I planted before basically reach the same mountain, but this time I only planted one, and it is so different from the bomb planted by Jiang Mohou?" As big?
Could it be that there is a problem with this artillery? "

The music stage and Li Yuanjia on the side listened to the message, and their faces became anxious.

"Your Majesty, the difference is a thousand miles away, and the bomb your Majesty planted is two thousand steps away! For such a long distance, as long as the muzzle of the artillery is a little bit higher, or the angle of the muzzle is slightly different, the bomb will explode. There will be a huge deviation in the position."

"Before, at the time of more than 1000 steps, didn't the bombs that His Majesty, Su Guogong and others planted randomly bombed the entire mountain? Sometimes it was on the top of the mountain, and sometimes it was halfway up the mountain?"

"I see!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slightly, turned his head and walked towards the cannon.

Suddenly, thinking of something, Li Shimin turned around again.

"Xuan Ba, since the artillery is placed on the top of the mountain, it is difficult to hit the target on the opposite side. If the artillery is mounted on a huge ship, the waves on the sea are undulating, and the enemy ships in the distance are as small as ants, how can we hit the target?" middle?"

"Therefore, the gunners on the ship need to practice their aim more!"

Li Xuan smiled softly, "Besides, each large ship also needs to install more than ten cannons."

"In this way, when our Datang navy encounters the enemy at sea, dozens of huge ships and hundreds of cannons are fired at once. As long as there is a bomb that hits the enemy ship, it can be blown to pieces!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and his blood boiled with excitement at Li Xuan's words.

"Hundreds of artillery salvos?..."

"Wonderful! If my soldiers of the Great Tang Dynasty carry thousands of cannons and bombard the enemy army when they attack the city, even if the enemy army has millions of troops, my master of the Great Tang Dynasty can blow them into ashes!"

Li Xuan: "..."

A war madman?
He was clearly talking about naval battles, so you'd think of attacking cities on land!

"Your Majesty, a bomb is extremely expensive to make, and so is the bomb. Moreover, if it is to be carried, each bomb needs four soldiers to carry it, and a carriage!
The money, manpower and material resources spent to raise a thousand bombs are enough to raise tens of thousands of soldiers! "

"It's okay!"

Li Shimin waved his hands excitedly, "Don't say 1 people, even 2 people, I am willing!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Li Xuan and ran to the side of the cannon, aimed for a while, and then lit the fuse.

"Boom~"

After a cannon shot, Li Shimin still did not find traces of the bomb on the hill.

A certain emperor refused to admit defeat!
"Boom~"

This time, it was found, but it hit a nearby hill.

"Boom~"

Can't see again.

"boom……"

"boom……"

Seeing that there were only the last three bombs left in the wooden box, Li Shimin finally stopped operating.

"Carpenter Mohou, why did I aim so many times, but each time I hit more and more sideways?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the first thing to do is to look at the angle of the shot, and the second is to aim!"

Le Tai smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, when adjusting the muzzle of the artillery, it needs to be adjusted bit by bit!"

Li Shimin stared closely at the stage, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

The stage trembled, his face full of panic.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I have been watching His Majesty concentrating just now..."

"The more your majesty fired the cannon just now, the more gloomy his face became. Don't say that Letai was too frightened by his majesty to speak, even Li Wei dared not remind his majesty!"

On the side, Li Xuan spoke out to save the stage.

Li Shimin looked up, looked around, and finally sighed helplessly, "Xuanba, you should remind me too!"

"Your Majesty was so proficient at that time, he adjusted the cannon with a whiz, and in the blink of an eye, the fuse was ignited, and the bomb flew out. I want to remind Your Majesty that there is no time!"

Li Xuan put his hands in each other's wide sleeves and folded them in his arms, with a sincere and helpless expression on his face.

Li Shimin smiled awkwardly, he was afraid that Li Xuan would compete with him to set off the cannon, so he moved a little faster.

"Le Tai, come, tell me, how should I adjust the angle this time?"

"Your Majesty, out of the ten bombs, you have already placed six, and the remaining three are mine!"

Before the band could speak, Li Xuan stood up, picked up a bomb and walked in front of Li Shimin.

"Xuanba, I haven't figured it out yet, if you..."

Li Shimin's face froze, he just grabbed the cannon with both hands, he didn't want to let go, trying to play tricks.

"Your Majesty, every time there is a new object in my village, I will release it for His Majesty to play with, and even give it directly to His Majesty. Moreover, judging from the test of the cannon today, this cannon can not only explode to a distance of two thousand steps. On a cold winter day, ten bombs can be fired continuously, and this cannon is complete.

Wouldn't it be nice to have enough cannons in His Majesty's hands after the Military Armament Superintendent manufactures them..."

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, stared at Li Xuan for a while, and then slowly withdrew his hands.

He can still figure out the reason for a full meal and a full meal.

But, he was actually threatened by Li Xuan?
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He walked aside and stared at Li Xuan.

"Your Majesty, the cannon has been successfully invented. As long as you order the Military Weapons Supervision to speed up the construction of cannons, Datang will be able to build at least a hundred cannons within two months... Hey, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, are you unhappy?"

Feeling something, Li Xuan turned around and was startled by Li Shimin's expression.

"Happy, I'm really happy..."

Li Shimin said perfunctorily.

Hearing this, Li Xuan didn't pay attention to it, but focused on adjusting the cannon, and the bandstand beside him pointed from time to time.

But Li Shimin talked for a long while, but suddenly Li Xuanzheng and Le Tai were operating on the cannon in full swing.

Then, I saw Li Xuan took out the torch and lit the fuse.

Li Xuan, Le Tai and others ran away.

Li Shimin stared, and quickly followed Li Xuan to the distance.

"Boom~"

After a loud noise, Li Shimin picked up his clairvoyance and looked into the distance.

"Ok?"

After seeing the explosion of the bomb, his eyes widened and his face was filled with disbelief.

"Xuan Ba, how could you bomb so accurately?"

Less than ten steps away from the site where the first bomb exploded on the bandstand, another scorched black bomb spot was blasted out.

"Your Majesty, you can blow it up just by aiming at it!"

Li Xuan glanced at Li Shimin in surprise, and wrote lightly.

This made Li Shimin anxious for a while.

Afterwards, Li Xuan walked directly to the cannon.

Reset the gun, check, clean, adjust, reload...

"Boom~"

Li Shimin's eyes widened again, unexpectedly aiming so accurately again.

When Li Xuan finished releasing the last bomb and the crowd began to descend the mountain, Li Shimin still looked depressed.

However, after getting the blueprint of the artillery, Li Shimin's face immediately beamed with joy.

The next day.

The military inspector, Quhui, brought a few master craftsmen to Lijiazhuang, and began to learn how to make artillery from Letai and other Mohist masters!
Regarding this, Li Xuan had already explained to Le Tai and the others.

Therefore, they all knew everything about Qu Hui and the masters of the military supervisor, and they taught them for five days earnestly, explaining the blueprints, methods, and details of making artillery and bombs. It was explained clearly to the military supervisor and other master craftsmen, and two cannons were forged in the Lijiazhuang forging workshop.

It was carried to the back mountain and tested. One door was forged successfully, and the other door exploded.

Ten days later.

Military weapon inspector Quhui led a group of master craftsmen and started to leave.

In this way, the time has also entered the end of January.

After a heavy snowfall, the weather began to gradually warm up.

Lijiazhuang started construction to build a small courtyard for the mother and daughter of the Yang family.

And in Weinan County, Li Chengqian and Wang Xuance, a team of craftsmen formed spontaneously by a few bastards, also borrowed [-] guan from Chang'an Datang Bank to build and purchase land in Weinan County, plan drawings, and began to prepare for the construction of cement houses.

At the same time, in Chang'an City, several vacant mansions were also demolished, and then craftsmen from the Housing Construction Department came in and out, preparing for the construction of cement houses.

When the nobles in Chang'an City reacted, they discovered that the construction of cement houses in several surrounding counties of Chang'an had started.

Among them, most of them were written by Fang Jiansi.

On the avenue outside Chang'an City, there was a constant flow of vehicles and horses, most of which were horse-drawn carriages transporting their own earthwork, stones, bricks, and cement.

The old farmers who transported these building materials were all smiling.

As soon as the weather gets warmer this year, they can already start to make money for their family, at least a month longer than before. This year's family situation will definitely be much better than last year!

……

Lijiazhuang!
"See the king (brother Wang)!"

After handing over the cannons that had been forged in the past two years to the military supervisor, Letai, Li Yuanjia, and all the ink masters in the forge seemed to have taken away the most important thing in their hearts.

After the spring plowing is completed, I don't know what to do all day.

"What's the matter with you?"

Seeing the expressions of Letai and Li Yuanjia, Li Xuan was puzzled.

"My lord, the cannon that I have been forging for two years has been handed over to the military supervisor. There are so many craftsmen and ink masters in my forge, it seems that there is nothing to do for a moment!"

Le Tai said anxiously.

In Lijiazhuang, the biggest fear is that they will become useless people.

"You don't feel well when you have nothing to do. You've been busy for two years. Let's take a good rest for a few days!" Li Xuan said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being considerate of the villain. It's just that I'm used to busy work. If I don't forge objects for a day, I will feel uncomfortable!"

With that said, Le Tai looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

"I don't know what kind of whimsy the king has? The villain and others will definitely develop it for the king!"

"My king wants thunder and lightning from the sky, can you develop it for me?"

Now, Li Xuan still didn't understand what Letai and Li Yuanjia were trying to do when they came to fight, so he said angrily.

"Thunder and lightning in the sky?"

Le Tai was startled, and hurriedly glanced out of the window, saying with a frightened face.

"Your Majesty be careful, the thunder and lightning in the sky are the things of the gods and gods in the sky. How can we mortals control them?"

"Is there really a flow of immortals and gods in the sky?"

Li Xuan looked at the stage with a half-smile and asked.

"Why does the king ask such a question, isn't the master the king an old god?" Le Tai asked with a strange face.

Forehead!
Li Xuan's face froze, and he quickly smiled embarrassingly, "This king made a slip of the tongue!"

"So, the king wants a carriage that can fly in the sky?"

Le Tai smiled wryly.

"My lord, how can there be a carriage that can fly in the sky? Please don't embarrass the villain..."

"Then I want a carriage that the king can run on the road by himself without being pulled by a horse!" Li Xuandao.

Bandstand: "..."

"That doesn't work either?"

Li Xuan subconsciously stared at the bandstand.

Le Tai smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, if there is no horse pulling in front, how can the carriage run on the road by itself?"

"Then there is no oar to paddle, how can the steel ship drive in the water by itself? The speed is so fast?"

Li Xuan glanced at the bandstand and said leisurely.

"This……"

Le Tai's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Li Xuan with excitement.

"Thank you for your instruction, Your Majesty!"

"Humph!"

Li Xuan glared angrily, "You are also Mohou, a great Tang craftsman, why can't you draw inferences about everything?"

"Besides, the cannon is dedicated to His Majesty. What about the musket? Are you satisfied with the slow firing speed of the musket?"

"Also, my Great Tang is based on agriculture, and even those who govern Mohism, can't you think of ways to develop more farming artifacts to increase the speed of farming for the people of our Great Tang?"

"in addition……"

What Letai and Li Yuanjia didn't expect was that they originally only wanted to come to King Jin, hoping to get some advice so that they could have something to do.

However, the two of them did not expect that Jin Wang directly directed at them for half an hour.

When the two walked out of the gate of the other courtyard, their heads were still slightly swollen!

However, Letai and Li Yuanjia's eyes became brighter and their expressions were excited.

Your Majesty told them about such a miraculous thing, and they can study it in the forge for another ten years without worrying about it!
