Daqin: After marrying a vegetative princess, I went crazy with joy

Chapter 296 Try Now
Since ancient times, no matter what kind of engineering in the world, it is mainly based on manpower.

Give them some handy tools at most, that's all.

But according to what Liu Bai just said, can this small bamboo tube blast away the rocks and smooth roads in the south of the Five Ridges?

Don't say believe it or not, I dare not even think about this thing.

What's more, what Liu Bai said is more than that, almost all walks of life can use it, no one will believe this!
The courtiers glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything.

He raised his eyes and silently looked at the small bamboo tube placed on the dragon case, thinking about the possibility of this matter in his heart.

In their view, if it is impossible, with the prudence of the son-in-law, it is impossible to say it and take its own humiliation.

This is the most important meeting of the year. If he loses face, not only himself, but also His Majesty will be ashamed.

But if all his words are true, it is simply impossible.

After thinking about it, they all thought that this thing should really be useful.

At the same time, it should not be as exaggerated as Liu Bai said.

Perhaps he also knew in his heart that the thing he gave was a bit unhandy, so he exaggerated him a bit in his words, so that others would not dare to underestimate him.

At the same time, the more you talk about this thing, the brighter your majesty's face will be, isn't it?

When it comes to Yingzheng, the courtiers are much more cautious.

What's more, Liu Bai's performance is put there every time, there is really no one who is not good-looking, and directly stands up to refute his words.

Ying Zheng, who was in a high position, looked at Liu Bai silently, thinking about the truth of his words.

Ever since Liu Bai presented the elixir last time and knew that there was an immortal behind him, Ying Zheng attached great importance to his words.

Therefore, whenever he makes any suggestions, he will almost always adopt them.

But today's matter is really unbelievable.

Since Xiaoxi presented the bamboo tube to now, Ying Zheng has read it several times.

Except for an extra thread on the top, there is nothing conspicuous at all.

But after hearing Liu Bai's description, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel yearning.

Reason told him that what Liu Bai said was impossible to do.

But as he listened, an idea suddenly popped up.

If what Liu Bai said can be realized, how wonderful it would be!

Until Liu Bai said that he wanted to demonstrate, Ying Zheng's eyes burst into light instantly.

Although it was only for a moment, it was clearly seen by Xiaoxi who was at the side.

He knew in his heart that His Majesty really cared about this matter...

With a light cough, Ying Zheng asked.

"Is this the firecracker that you said was used to expel the 'ghost of plague'?"

Seeing Liu Bai shaking his head, Ying Zheng was shocked.

"Could it be bombs, muskets, or artillery?"

Liu Bai continued to shake his head.

Shaking his head twice, Ying Zheng was instantly stunned.

Just now you said that this thing can be big or small, there are two differences.

Now I ask you, but I deny it...

After a pause, Ying Zheng continued to ask.

"Then how is this thing related to what you just said?"

Liu Bai bowed his head and saluted, then looked into Ying Zheng's eyes and said.

"Father, this thing and the thing I just mentioned are made of the same thing, this thing is called gunpowder!"

"If you want to make firecrackers, put less gunpowder; if you want to make bombs, put more...

"This bamboo tube is filled with gunpowder! It's just that gunpowder is extremely difficult to develop. In these days, I have just made such a one. Therefore, I can't guarantee how powerful it is..."

Seeing that what he said was reasonable and well-founded, the courtiers in the hall finally came to their senses.

"The son-in-law can't really make the things he said?"

"I don't know, but look at the concubine's expression, he is so confident, even if he didn't make it, it should be about the same..."

"I think you're thinking too much. Didn't the son-in-law also say that gunpowder is extremely difficult to make, and I'm afraid there's not much hope..."

"You can't say that. Horseshoes, stirrups, and saddles are simple. Before the son-in-law proposed it, I didn't see you making them!"

"Yes, and the paper, Quyuanli, etc. You still didn't believe it back then, but now?"

"..."

If it wasn't for Ying Zheng still sitting in the hall, the two gangs would probably have to fight.

The reason why he didn't speak was because the two villains in Ying Zheng's heart were fighting.

Liu Bai's words are clear, after so long, he made this one.

Let him demonstrate it, the one and only is gone.

But if he didn't demonstrate it, he would feel a little uncertain.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Si stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the son-in-law demonstrate it, so that you can open your eyes..."

As soon as the words fell, the courtiers immediately stepped forward to second the proposal.

"Yes, Your Majesty, my Daqin has never seen such a fetish, if what the concubine said is true, then God really bless my Daqin!"

"..."

The courtiers kept coming out, wanting to see if Liu Bai was as powerful as he said.

Ying Zheng glanced at them, but remained silent.

If this one is gone, I don’t know when the next one will be completed!

Seeing him tightly holding the bamboo tube in his hand, Liu Bai saluted immediately.

"Father, although this thing is difficult to make, as long as it takes some time, it will be successfully made, and only this one is actually not very useful, at most one person will be killed..."

After finishing speaking, I added another sentence in my heart, maybe even one person can't be killed!
Liu Bai naturally understood Ying Zheng's feelings at the moment, but he really didn't know how powerful this thing was.

The time was tight and the task was heavy. Seeing that the alchemists had finished it, he took it directly.

I took out a small handful of ignition and gave it a 'squeak', and after seeing that it could be lit, I put it all into the bamboo tube.

What's even more uncertain is that he doesn't even know if this thing can be blown up.

Maybe after a while, it will suddenly turn into fireworks...

This is still the best result, after all, there are no fireworks now.

I'm afraid that if there is no response after clicking, it will be really embarrassing!

But before he came, he had already thought of various countermeasures, so he didn't have any fear at all.

Seeing that Ying Zheng was still hesitating, Wang Jian walked out.

"Your Majesty, no matter what there is, there is a process of development. The old minister remembers that the development of horseshoes has been unsuccessful because of the iron. Now, almost all of our cavalry are equipped with horseshoes..."

"Besides, if this thing is really as the son-in-law said, then the progress of Lingnan should be faster, and then the Xiongnu..."

It has to be said that Wang Jian knew Ying Zheng very well, and he hit his pain point with one sentence.

Lingnan, that is what His Majesty cares most about now.

If there is this thing, Lingqu's progress will be faster, won't they be just around the corner?
Coupled with the battle against Hungary at the end of winter...

Nodding his head, Ying Zheng made up his mind.

In fact, he wasn't reluctant to part with this thing, but was worried about what to do if he couldn't make it in the future.

Keep this finished product, at least you can have a reference.

But after much deliberation, Ying Zheng finally chose to trust Liu Bai.

Try, have to try now...
