Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 372

Fireworks are beautiful, especially against the backdrop of the night, the burning fireworks are a blooming flower, and the sparks are its petals.

Beautiful, fiery, bright.

Although Gao Ming just scraped a little bit of copper powder into the black powder to make this extremely simple firework, it still made Su Wan'er and the others look at it beautifully and linger in amazement.

"Is this green fire made by Mr. Lang?"

"It's so beautiful, it's unheard of!"

"Yeah yeah……"

Seeing that they liked it so much, Gao Ming couldn't bear to dampen their interest, so he went back and brought out a few packs of black powder, and showed them to Su Wan'er as fireworks.

Gradually, Gao Ming also played new tricks, such as sprinkling the black powder into various shapes, or putting it in a bamboo tube and lighting it, and then the girls cheered.

Even Gao Ming didn't expect that he couldn't stop playing this game, especially after the two little guys Li Mingda and Li Jue joined, the consumption rate of black powder began to increase in a straight line.

The next morning, Gao Ming took a look at the black gunpowder that was half missing, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"No, I can't play like this anymore. The production efficiency can't keep up. If I continue to play like this, I'm afraid I won't even have enough gunpowder to fire the shells."

In order to increase the speed of dispensing black powder, Gao Ming simply asked Shi Shu and Shi Jian to join in. The two girls moved very quickly, and within a short while, all the raw materials in the room were turned into black powder.

The maids and warriors outside the yard also worked very hard. In the afternoon, all the saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal were ground into powder by them, and then made into black powder by Gao Ming and others.

Gao Ming glanced at the black powder that filled the room, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, the black powder this time is about 300 catties, which is enough for the time being, Shi Jian, later you bring a few people and send all the black powder to the Armory Supervision. Don't forget to tell them that fireworks are strictly prohibited. "

"Yes!"

Shi Jian agreed and went out, but his mood seemed a little depressed.

Gao Ming glanced around, and suddenly found that it wasn't just Shi Jian who was depressed, even Su Wan'er and Meng Xin were a little disappointed.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly became a little puzzled, but when he saw the girls looking at the black powder in the room reluctantly, he immediately understood.

"It turns out that I can't bear the fireworks!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Haha, although this batch of black powder is going to be sent to the Military Arms Supervision, we can still do it again, Shi Shu, tell Liu Bing later, let him get me a few hundred catties of saltpeter and sulfur, come here. When we get another batch of black powder to play with, I plan to make more firecrackers!"

"Firecrackers?"

Su Wan'er immediately showed a puzzled expression after listening to the clever words.

"Lang Jun said, but the common people burned their poles during the New Year?"

In the Tang Dynasty, the people had the custom of burning bamboo in the new year. The people of the Tang Dynasty put fresh bamboo into the fire and burned it. Because the bamboo will make a "cracking" sound when it is burned, it is called "exploding pole".

The poet Lai Hu of the Tang Dynasty had such a sentence in "Early Spring": "The new calendar has only opened half of the paper, and the small courtyard is still full of ashes."

It can be seen from this that the common people are using the method of burning and exploding poles to look forward to a peaceful and peaceful new year.

These clever people also knew about it, so after hearing Su Wan'er's words, he nodded immediately.

"Yes, Wan'er, you are right. My firecrackers are similar to the firecrackers burned by the common people. The only difference is that my firecrackers burn louder!"

"Louder?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Meng Xin became interested immediately.

"I'm going to get someone to prepare a brazier right now, and I also want to see how your firecrackers sound!"

After finishing speaking, Meng Xin lifted her clothes and prepared to go out. Seeing her high spirits, Gao Ming immediately smiled and shook his head.

"I don't need a brazier, I use a firecup for my explosive rod, Shi Shu, go and get me a firecup!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the servant immediately went to get the firecrackers, while Gao Ming went into the study and took some firecrackers from the bookshelf.

Seeing the firecracker in Gao Ming's hand, Su Wan'er's eyes widened.

"Lang Jun, isn't this the bamboo you dried in the yard yesterday? Could it be a firecracker?"

"Correct!"

Hearing Su Wan'er's question, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"Yes, this is a firecracker. Although it is small in size, it is very powerful!"

When Gao Ming said this, Shishu also came over with a fire folder.

Gao Ming took the torch, opened it, blew it up, and then put the fuse of the firecracker on the torch to ignite.

"sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..."

The lead wire was glued with gunpowder, and it caught fire at one touch. Gao Ming didn't dare to be careless. When he saw that the lead wire was caught, he quickly threw it far away, and then quickly covered his ears.

Seeing his actions, Su Wan'er showed her doubts again.

"Lang Jun, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, a deafening thunder suddenly rang in her ears.

"boom!"

The noise was so loud that even Gao Ming, who was covering his ears, grinned.

"Hey, I didn't expect it to be quite powerful, Wan'er, do you think so, you..."

When talking about this, Gao Ming found that Su Wan'er's eyes were wide open, she was dumbfounded, and she didn't even respond to Gao Ming calling her.

Gao Ming had no choice but to pat her on the shoulder lightly.

"Wan'er... Wan'er..."

After being called out by him, Su Wan'er finally came to her senses, she saw her mouth puckered, and then she cried with a "wow"!

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

"..."

Seeing her crying so sadly, Gao Ming knew without guessing that she must have been frightened by the firecrackers just now.

There was no other way, Gao Ming could only comfort her quickly.

"Okay, Wan'er, don't be afraid, Mr. Lang is here, let's go back to the house!"

After saying that, Gao Ming hugged Su Wan'er and went back to the house, and then carefully comforted her and dispelled her fear.

At this time, Gao Ming's attention was focused on Su Wan'er, but he didn't notice Li Mingda's big eyes that were getting brighter and brighter beside him.

Gao Ming didn't know that while he was busy comforting Su Wan'er, a small figure had slipped into his study room and swept away all the firecrackers he had hidden under the desk...

In the early hours of the morning, a loud noise broke the tranquility of the imperial city.

"boom!"

The loud noise happened in the Forbidden Garden. Following the loud noise, many eunuchs and court ladies were pleasantly surprised from their sleep.

Just when they were still wondering if they had heard it wrong, the loud noises rang out again one after another.

"Bang... bang bang bang..."

This sound was as loud as thunder on the ground, and immediately frightened many eunuchs and court ladies, even Li Shimin was not spared.

At this time, Li Shimin was riding on a beautiful concubine, doing some indescribable things, and when he was having fun, he suddenly heard a loud noise from outside the door.

"boom!"

"hiss……"

Hearing this loud noise, the frightened Li Shimin gasped, and then shivered violently...
