Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 230 Everyone is eyeing the explosives
The appearance of explosives shocked many people.

The reason for Fang Yuan's victory in Liaozhou was exposed.

All of a sudden, the aristocratic families with a little bit of strength all focused on the explosives.

After the Fangfu solved the three hundred warriors of the Eastern Turks, the emperor's imperial decree arrived.

But not to Fang Mansion, but to Chang'an County Government, to Fang Yuan's hands.

"Fang Yuan, are the explosives used by Fang Mansion the ones you used in Liaozhou to defend against the Eastern Turkic cavalry?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

He probably knows what Liaozhou used in Liaozhou.

At that time, he was grateful to Fang Yuan for guarding Datang, and did not force Fang Yuan to hand it over.

Now Fang Yuan used it again and easily dealt with the three hundred Eastern Turkic warriors, which shocked Li Shimin again.

It's safe not to hold such a powerful thing in your own hands.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fang Yuan didn't hide it.

Because covering up doesn't work either.

The appearance of explosives is destined to be watched by countless people.

"I trust you, but I also want explosives."

"What conditions can you say, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and said seriously.

Fang Yuan is his virtuous minister Ying Meng, who has helped him solve many things.

Although the explosives are powerful, they still can't make him, a king, make the decision to kill people and sell goods.

Therefore, I plan to exchange with Fang Yuan to get the explosives that Fang Yuan has now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I want an imperial edict to study special weapons!"

"I may still be able to research powerful weapons like explosives, so please allow me to give you the privilege. In the future, no matter whether I or the Mohist Research Institute develops any powerful weapons, it will be allowed."

Fang Yuan said respectfully.

Dynamite is a good thing, but Li Shimin can only give it if he wants it.

There is no way, the other party is the emperor, it is already very good to discuss and give benefits.

If you still want to object or refute something, then you don't know what to do and offend the emperor.

"It's not a problem, but you have to give me a copy of what you have researched besides keeping it yourself."

"In addition, including explosives, all weapons of great lethality cannot be obtained by third-party forces."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Good for researching lethal weapons.

It is a good thing to kill more enemies with more elite weapons and reduce the loss of one's own army.

But at the same time as good things, we must also be careful not to let other forces get them, otherwise it will pose a threat to the stability of the court.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I still understand this truth."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

Only in the hands of a few can weapons really play their important role.

If everyone has weapons with great lethality, then a balance will be reached between each other, and they may in turn check and balance themselves.

Fang Yuan never wanted to expose the explosives, he just didn't want to be known by others, and he didn't want to hand over the explosives to the imperial court.

But with the emergence of fireworks, explosives will be slowly researched, and the delay will not be long.

Therefore, after Du Miaoyan used the explosives, he followed the emperor's advice and just focused on the benefits.

After all, new weapons appeared again, such as the firecrackers secretly researched by Juzi and others.

"That's fine, the imperial decree will be delivered to you a little bit."

"After sending it, you will ask someone to give him the manufacturing method and a technical support."

Li Shimin was very decisive and didn't ask too much.

He believed that Fang Yuan was a smart person, he would not tell others.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing. We said in Liaozhou before that we set up banks and promote banknotes. I don't know if you still remember."

Fang Yuan said.

Fang Yuan thought about the Qianzhuang for a long time.

There is a bank in Liaozhou, but currently it is only used for depositing and withdrawing money and lending services.

It was the consent of the imperial court who really wanted to implement the repayment of banknotes, and the consent of Li Shimin.

Now that Du Ruhui is still alive and able to keep a lot of people in check, set up a bank first.

Save yourself from being able to suppress it in the future, and be divided up by others.

"If you don't tell me, I will forget."

"You go and do it, and I will give you the imperial edict together."

Li Shimin patted his head and laughed.

Really, Fang Yuan didn't say that he really forgot.

There are too many things, and if you are busy every day, and no one reminds you, it is easy to forget.

The emperor's daily life was reminded by eunuchs, but there was no eunuch to help record what happened during his private visit.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Fang Yuan said with a smile on his face.

Although he entered the palace this time and handed over the explosives.

But for myself, there is no loss.

It's not that explosives can't be used by themselves, it's just that they can be used by more forces.

And he also got the privilege of researching weapons, and the promise to set up a bank.

This time, East Turkic was of great help.

Fang Yuan left the imperial study room and almost walked out of Chengtian Gate.

But at this moment, a little eunuch ran over.

"Fang Ling, Your Highness the Crown Prince welcomes you."

The little eunuch panted and said politely.

"Please lead the way."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, let the little eunuch lead the way.

Not long after, Fang Yuan came to the East Palace again and met Li Chengqian.

When I saw Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian was sitting on a stool similar to a wheelchair, being pushed behind him.

Fang Yuan has also seen the person behind him, it is the very beautiful man who stood in seat c at the East Palace banquet last time.

Today this man is also very beautifully dressed, giving people an enchanting feeling, but Fang Yuan looked a little disgusted and turned his eyes away.

"Meet Your Royal Highness."

Fang Yuan saluted Li Chengqian.

And looked at Li Chengqian again.

One of Li Chengqian's legs was tied with a bandage, his face was a little pale, but he seemed to be in good condition.

"Exemption."

"Leaving from His Majesty?"

Li Chengqian raised his hand and said.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan nodded, said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Fang Yuan, I heard that you now have a very powerful weapon."

"Gu is curious, can you teach Gu how to make it?"

Li Chengqian nodded without asking what he said.

He is just a prince, so how dare he inquire about the affairs between the emperor and his courtiers casually.

"I want to too, but His Majesty warned me just now that I am not allowed to tell anyone."

Fang Yuan secretly sighed that it was so.

The reason why he was so eager to stop himself from going to the East Palace was because of the explosives.

It's a pity that Li Shimin has forbidden himself to tell others, so it is impossible for him to tell Li Chengqian.

It is estimated that not only Li Chengqian, but also the third prince Li Ke will stop him later, wanting explosives.

"His Majesty has forbidden you to pass it on to anyone?"

Li Chengqian frowned and said.

He clenched slightly on the three words "anyone".

"Yes."

"Please forgive me, Your Highness the Prince."

Fang Yuan said seriously.

"That's fine, then you go back first."

Li Chengqian didn't force him, nor did he dare to force him.

The emperor banned it, who would dare to force it.

That's okay, the emperor banned it, and I don't worry about others knowing it.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan cupped his hands.

Turn around and leave.

Sure enough, as Fang Yuan thought, the third prince's people came to invite him.

But this time Fang Yuan didn't go over, and asked that person to convey Fang Yuan's meaning directly.

What Fang Yuan didn't expect was that besides the third prince Li Ke, people from the fourth prince Li Tai also came here.

But Fang Yuan also didn't see them, he just told them that the emperor forbids to tell anyone about the explosives.

After leaving the palace, it was actually still early, but Fang Yuan didn't go to the county office, but skipped work and went back to Fang's mansion.

When Fang Yuan returned to Fang Mansion, the crowd of onlookers had already dispersed, and all the blood on the ground had been wiped off, as if nothing had happened.

"Master, you are back."

Gouzi guards the gate, the first to welcome Fang Yuan.

"Well, how's it going at home?"

Fang Yuan nodded, and asked while walking.

"It's nothing serious, just a few people were injured."

"Madame and Xue Bowu are very powerful, and successfully fought back against those East Turkic people who made trouble."

Gouzi said with admiration in his eyes.

It is said that Madam and Xue Bo are very good at martial arts.

When you really see it, you will understand what is amazing.

"That's good."

Fang Yuan felt relieved.

After walking back to the backyard, I saw Du Miaoyan.

"Husband, are you back so early?"

Du Miaoyan was a little surprised.

She already knew that Fang Yuan was ordered by the officials not to intervene.

Well, normally, I will not be able to come back until today, or even later.

But unexpectedly, Fang Yuan came back so early, unexpectedly.

"The emperor ordered me to enter the palace to ask for the formula of explosives."

"I gave and asked for a benefit, so I came back early"

Fang Yuan informed Du Miaoyan of the situation.

"People like His Majesty are also eyeing explosives. It is estimated that there will be many more people eyeing explosives."

"Although His Majesty forbids you to inform third-party forces, I'm afraid they will find a way to get it."

Du Miaoyan was a little worried.

Although the emperor banned it, he could only ban those who were on the surface.

The ones in the dark are not good, such as Bishamen and Dengling's ink, etc.

They will definitely not listen to the emperor, and even force Fang Yuan to hand over the technology.

"Don't be afraid, just follow them."

Fang Yuan shook his head and smiled.

He thought about it, it was a troublesome thing.

But that doesn't mean you have to be terrified.

In any case, they are in the dark.

I am the order of Chang'an, so both the Fang Mansion and the Chang'an county government are very safe.

And after waiting for Li Shimin's imperial decree, Juzi and others will be able to study firecrackers.

"It's good that your husband has a strategy."

Du Miaoyan nodded with a smile.

The two chatted about what happened today.

It is agreed that the East Turks will not let it go.

But getting revenge might not be so easy.

After all, more than half of the East Turkic people in Chang'an City were killed.

If you look for trouble with that little strength, you will be asking for trouble.

In the evening, the Imperial Palace issued an imperial edict, allowing Fang Yuan to study special weapons, and also agreed to Fang Yuan to set up a bank.

It is easy to set up a bank, but profit distribution is the most important thing, so when Fang Yuan gave the explosive formula to the eunuch, he also gave the bank a profit contract.

That was discussed before, and it needs to be stamped by the emperor to be established.

after dinner.

Fang Yuan found the giant.

"This is the imperial decree, it must be preserved."

"Whatever happens in the future, this is the gold medal for avoiding death."

Fang Yuan smiled and handed the imperial decree to the giant.

The reason for the imperial decree is because the things that will be studied in the future are too lethal.

With this decree, no matter whether Li Shimin is the emperor or not, the emperor has scruples.

Therefore, Fang Yuan will only officially manufacture the firecrackers if he has an imperial decree. The previous research is only in the theoretical and testing stage.

"You should pay attention when you go out these days, it feels like you have been watched."

The giant was concerned.

As a member of the Mo family, Ju Zi felt that Mo Cailing had already set his sights on Fang Yuan.

Although Fang Yuan is a Chang'an order, Chang'an County will be very safe at home, but he still needs to pay more attention to safety.

"If you are targeted, you will be targeted."

Fang Yuan said disapprovingly.

Being targeted is inevitable, let him be.

"Master, there is a woman named Mo Cailing asking to see you."

Gouzi came to report.

"Please come in."

Fang Yuan and Juzi looked at each other, and then invited each other.

Not long after, Mo Cailing and a young man appeared in front of Fang Yuan and the other two.

The youth Fang Yuan and Ju Zi also met, it was the young man they met in Liaozhou before.

"Fang Yuan, long time no see, didn't disturb you?"

Mo Cailing and the young man saluted Fang Yuan with a very friendly attitude.

"No, what is Miss Mo looking for from me?"

Fang Yuan chuckled.

The giant beside him stared at Mo Cailing vigilantly.

It's definitely not a good thing to come at night, or I just came here for the explosives.

"If you want the formula of explosives, you can ask for a conditional order."

Mo Cailing said bluntly.

"Do you still owe me a favor?"

Fang Yuan asked.

"Yes, you want to exchange favors for me not to use explosives?"

Mo Cailing was taken aback, a little surprised.

"You have a good idea. I just want to make sure you remember."

"It's okay to want explosives, [-] guan."

Fang Yuan was almost laughed out of anger.

The favors owed can also be exchanged in this way, thanks to myself?
"Ten thousand?!"

"Fang Yuan, even if you sell me, I'm not worth ten thousand."

Mo Cailing exclaimed.

The young people who came with him were also very surprised.

Although I thought that Fang Yuan would charge a high price before coming here.

But the price is too high, too outrageous.

"If you think the explosives are not worth it, then you don't have to buy them. I am no better than you."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly, shrugged and said.

"So there's nothing to talk about?"

Mo Cailing frowned and said in a deep voice.

Fang Yuan's asking price was somewhat embarrassing for the two of them.

That is to say, I don't want to talk to myself and play tricks on myself.

"There is something to talk about, the money is in place, and the manufacturing method is for you."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

"Is a thousand strings okay?"

Mo Cailing gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice.

"It's okay, but you have to owe me another favor."

"And pay with one hand and deliver with the other!"

Fang Yuan thought about it and agreed.

"Okay, contact me in a few days."

Mo Cailing was a little stunned, she didn't expect Fang Yuan to agree.

Could it be that my favor is worth nine thousand pennies?

For a moment, Mo Cailing felt ecstatic.

"At that time, it will be carried out secretly, so that no one can know."

Fang Yuan looked dignified and said seriously.

"Don't worry, I will notify you in advance."

Mo Cailing nodded, expressing understanding.

Nor can she be known to possess explosives.

"No delivery."

Fang Yuan waved his hand, telling Mo Cailing and the two to leave.

"Farewell."

Mo Cailing left very quickly.

She wanted to go back and collect money to buy Fang Yuan's explosives.

"Fang Yuan, why did you sell them to them all of a sudden?"

"Didn't the emperor forbid you to disclose it to third-party forces?"

The giant asked very puzzled.

Deng Ling's Mo is a third-party force, why did Fang Yuan give it to the other party?
Moreover, Mo Cailing's favor is just a favor, so the price varies from day to day.

"Juzi, you study explosives, you should know that explosives are actually easy to research."

"Put more explosives, or set off more fireworks, maybe someone will find out how explosives are made."

"Then why not take this opportunity to earn some money from them and enrich our Fangfu."

Fang Yuan smiled mysteriously.

Li Shimin explained that disclosure is prohibited.

But if you come secretly, you don't go out yourself, isn't that all right?
When Emperor Hu knew it, he said that the explosives were leaked and had nothing to do with him.

Of course, there are still risks in this, but the benefits outweigh the risks, so you can take risks.

Moreover, the bank is about to be held, which will divert Li Shimin's attention.
