God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 174 Cannon Project
What Yuan Tiangang said was like a fantasy story.

Du He was a little surprised when he heard this.

It can only be said that the fate of these two men is too great, so they can escape unharmed.

Especially for Qingfeng, if the huge wootz steel is a little bit off, what he smashes is not his legs, but his whole body.

After saying that, Yuan Tiangang walked up to Du He, bowed deeply, and said with a serious expression: "Du He, you saved Qingfeng's life, and I, Yuan Tiangang, owe you my life."

As he said that, Yuan Tiangang actually wanted to kneel down to Du He.

How could Du He bear this, so he quickly helped Yuan Tiangang up.

"Old Yuan, there is no need to talk about this between you and me. It's just that after a few days the breeze recovers, where do you go? Do you need to build the Qingfeng Temple?" Du He asked curiously.

When Yuan Tiangang heard the words, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he pointed at Du He and said, "My Yuan family's old house was cheated by you, and now I am homeless."

Du He chuckled: "You can't say that. You sold it to me willingly. Why don't you just point at gunpowder and smelt iron? Why don't you stay and work for me?"

What Du He took a fancy to was Yuan Tiangang's ability to smelt iron. This guy was obsessed with alchemy, but he had no intention of doing it, and mastered a lot of ability to smelt iron and steel.

Yuan Tiangang shook his head like a rattle and refused to say anything.

Du He suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Young Master, I never try to force others into difficulties. You can leave after Qingfeng recovers from his injury. However, I'm afraid it won't be long before everyone in the world will know that you have a son named Yuan Qingfeng."

Yuan Tiangang's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Du He in disbelief: "You...how did you know?"

"No comment!"

"Are you threatening me?"

Du He shrugged helplessly, "Did I say that I spread the news?"

Yuan Tiangang really wanted to beat Du He, but unfortunately he was not Du He's opponent.

After a while, Yuan Tiangang nodded helplessly: "Okay, I promise you to stay, but what can I do?"

Du He thought to himself, this young master likes the way you hate me but can't kill me.

He smiled and asked, "How did you get the iron I asked Lu Bu to bring back?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded hurriedly: "I spent more than ten years buying that iron from a Persian merchant at a high price. I originally wanted to build a pill furnace, but I didn't expect it, and almost killed Qingfeng."

Du He said: "The iron, or wootz steel, is too wasteful to make the alchemy furnace. It's better to use it to make something more interesting."

"what?"

"cannon!"

Du He smiled mysteriously and said, "Old Yuan, you happen to know how to smelt iron and make gunpowder. It just so happens that I have an idea of ​​making cannons. Are you interested?"

"What is a cannon?" Yuan Tiangang was confused.

Du He pointed to a dirt hill on the opposite bank, and said, "The worst cannon, placed here, can blow up that little dirt hill at once. What do you think?"

Yuan Tiangang didn't dare to imagine it at all.

"There is such a powerful thing in the world?"

Du He said: "There are no cannons in the world, but when I, Du He, come, I have them."

Yuan Tiangang said with some curiosity: "Okay, Du He, since there is such a fetish, how can I not agree."

Du He smiled slightly: "Old Yuan, don't rush to agree. I have conditions. First, you and I must sign a non-disclosure agreement. Within five years, if you dare to reveal the secret of Da Pao, we will I can kill you at any time, and second, your Majesty joins Datang Furniture Factory, and in the future, I will build you a high-tech laboratory for you to do various researches, even if it is used for alchemy, it doesn't matter."

Hearing the second item, Yuan Tiangang's eyes lit up.

At this time, the old man still hasn't forgotten about alchemy.

He agreed without thinking.

Immediately afterwards, a confidentiality contract was signed, which can be regarded as a life-and-death contract, and Yuan Tiangang risked his life.

Early the next morning, Du He asked the workers of the furniture factory to build a house on the bank of the river as a base for making cannons.

……

a few days later.

Royal Palace.

Li Er asked: "Zhao Yang, I asked you to invite Yuan Tiangang into the palace. I want to allocate money to build the Qingfeng Temple for him. By the way, I will predict the fate of the country for me. Why is there no movement?"

Zhao Yang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this servant went to Datang Furniture Factory a few times, and also saw Yuan Tiangang's important event, he said..."

"what did he say?"

"Master Yuan Tiangang said that he is now busy searching for the truth of science, and he is no longer doing such things as predicting the fate of the country!" Zhao Yang whispered.

Snapped.

Li Er threw the brush in his hand and smashed it on the ground: "...Yuan Tiangang must have been bewitched by Du He, this bastard..."

……

at the same time.

The Qingfengguan incident has spread throughout Chang'an City.

Everyone is saying that the famous Taoist Yuan Tiangang practiced the Feisheng Pill and attained Taoism and immortality. When he left, he accidentally farted and blew up the Qingfeng Temple.

Of course, many people disagree with this.

Near the West Market, a huge mansion suddenly appeared on the corner of the street. This mansion was luxurious and imposing, in stark contrast to the surrounding low buildings.

The most notable ones are the four guards standing at the gate, each of them is rough, thick-backed, with whiskers, wearing armor made of animal skin, and carrying a machete at his waist.

Anyone who passes by will stay away from these vicious men when they see them.

Deep in the yard, in a room.

"Prince Gong Zanbu, we have already found out that Du He, the son of Lantian County, is the inventor of explosives. He presented the method of making explosives to His Majesty the Emperor and won the title of Prince of Lantian County. There was an explosion in a Taoist temple outside, and it turned into flat ground overnight, shaking Chang'an City because of the explosives... Prince, we can't wait any longer. Now the Tang Dynasty is sharpening its knives at our border, just to occupy our land Land, take our cattle and sheep, take our women!"

A middle-aged man in a leather jacket with braids said respectfully to the young man sitting on the rotating wooden chair.

I saw the young man in his twenties, with a round head, round face, and a pair of exaggeratedly small eyes, as if two small beans were inlaid on his face. , but spread out in a messy manner.

The young man's real name is Gongsong Zanbu, but his background is unusual. He is the prince of the Tubo Kingdom, and his father is the well-known Songtsan Gampo. There were frictions between the border and Datang, and occasionally wars.

Throughout his life, Songtsan Gampo admired the Central Plains culture the most, so he sent one of his sons, Gong Song Zanbu, to Chang'an City to learn Chinese culture.

After a long while, Gong Song Zanbu stood up and said solemnly: "Du He is very cunning, if you want to kidnap him to Tubo and make explosives for us, there is only one chance. The more night the Datang furniture factory goes, the more guarded it is. Strictly guarded, the best opportunity is in the evening, when everyone is going to eat!"
