The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 349 The terrifyingly powerful purified gunpowder!

After another wave of ministers presented their gifts, Li Rou, Li Yu and Li Rui saw the opportunity and took the initiative to stand up.

"Father, your sons, ministers and younger brothers also have gifts to give."

Li Rou's character has always been straightforward, so she spoke directly to Li Chengdao.

"You also want to give a gift?"

Li Chengdao said slightly surprised.

It was quite surprising to hear that children like Li Rou also wanted to give congratulatory gifts.

"Rou'er, stop messing around!"

Queen Deshan glared at Li Rou and scolded softly.

It was none of their business what kind of gifts a few children gave.

"It doesn't matter, Rou'er and the others are also filial, let's see what gifts they have prepared for me."

Li Chengdao said with a smile, indicating that Queen Deshan did not need to reprimand her.

After hearing Li Chengdao's words, Queen Deshan sighed helplessly and said nothing.

"Okay, let Father see your gifts."

Li Chengdao said to Li Rou and the others kindly.

Now it was Li Rou and Li Yu's turn to feel embarrassed.

After hesitating for a long time, the three children took out the gifts hidden in their sleeves.

Li Rou's gift was a small vest, while Li Yu and Li Rui each received a glove.

"The weather turned cold when we came here. My father always dealt with government affairs late every day, so I, my brother and the others made a warm vest and gloves."

Li Rou said with a blushing face.

The workmanship of her vest was appalling, even the gloves made by Li Rui were better than hers.

Li Rui and Li Yu were also a little embarrassed.

Because compared with other people's various precious gifts, their gifts are really too shabby.

But Li Chengdao was slightly startled when he saw the gifts they gave.

Then he personally reached out to take the gift, then touched the heads of Li Rou, Li Yu and Li Rui one by one, and said softly: "My father likes your gift very much."

Not to mention anything else, the kindness of the three children alone is more precious than anything else!
In Li Chengdao's opinion, this vest and gloves are far more valuable than any gold and silver jewelry!
What makes him even more gratified is that the relationship between his three children is very harmonious.

This is the most precious gift.

Seeing that Li Chengdao's expression didn't look fake, Li Rou, Li Yu and Li Rui were extremely happy.

The other ministers and concubines couldn't help but smile when they saw it.

This is probably the best birthday Li Chengdao has ever had.

After his birthday passed, Li Chengdao paid special attention to the situation of the Smelting Bureau.

The power of thermal weapons is inseparable from gunpowder.

The grand fireworks displayed by the Smelting Bureau on the birthday are definitely not something that ordinary gunpowder can do.

That is definitely purified gunpowder!

Li Chengdao attaches great importance to the research and development process of thermal weapons such as fire guns and artillery.

After all, these weapons are related to the qualitative improvement of a country's military strength. In ancient times, when cold weapons were generally used, an army with hot weapons appeared, which was simply invincible.

Smelting Bureau.

Li Chengdao's visit to the Smelting Bureau was not ostentatious this time. He just brought Jia Xu and other ministers to watch.Officials of the Smelting Bureau had already greeted him at the door, but they did not see Xu Mo.

Xu Mo is now the director of the Metallurgical Bureau, and his rank is not high, but the entire Metallurgical Bureau is under his control. He should come to greet Li Chengdao in person, but he didn't see anyone else.

"Where's Xu Moren?"

Li Chengdao asked the foreman of the Smelting Bureau who came to greet him.

"Reporting to your Majesty, Director Xu is experimenting with gunpowder at the testing site."

The foreman answered truthfully.

Li Chengdao raised his eyebrows, then walked directly into the Smelting Bureau and headed towards the testing site.

The Smelting Bureau occupies a large area.

A large area on the outskirts of the city is covered by the Bureau of Metallurgy and Manufacturing, and a large part of it is used as an experimental site.

Because Li Chengdao developed powerful weapons such as gunpowder, blunderbuss, and artillery, they were extremely dangerous and would not be safe in the city.

Therefore, the test site was built on the outskirts of Chang'an City, and such a large area was allocated.

At the same time, taking into account the confidentiality of the Metallurgical Bureau, Li Chengdao also set up the White Robe Army's military camp next to the Metallurgical Bureau, and was also responsible for maintaining the security of the Metallurgical Bureau.

Inside the testing ground.

Now that early winter has arrived, there has just been a light snowfall, but the snow in the test site has been cleared away. As soon as Li Chengdao and others arrived at the test site, they heard a loud explosion.

"boom--!"

The violent explosion and flames were accompanied by black smoke rising, and a hillside on one side of the test site collapsed, shocking Li Chengdao and the ministers who had just arrived.

"what's the situation?!"

Jia Xu looked at the thick smoke not far away, his face full of surprise and uncertainty.

"what happened?"

Wei Zheng was so shocked that several strands of his beard fell off, and the pain made him cry.

But instead of being shocked, Li Chengdao felt sincerely excited!

explosion! explosion!
Explosions are the source of thermal weapons!This is definitely the power that can only be achieved by purifying gunpowder!
Li Chengdao hurriedly led people over, and then he saw a group of craftsmen gathering together to discuss something intensely, and in the middle was Xu Mo.

Li Chengdao's arrival also attracted the attention of the craftsmen and Xu Mo. They were startled, and then saluted Li Chengdao one after another.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Forget it, get up."

Li Chengdao waved his hand nonchalantly, then looked directly at Xu Mo and asked, "What was that explosion just now? What exploded?"

Xu Mo looked dirty all over, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of the demeanor of a Mo family tycoon. He only had a pair of bright eyes.

Hearing Li Chengdao's words, Xu Mo replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, I just exploded a gunpowder barrel to test the power of gunpowder. I never expected that your Majesty would just arrive. Please forgive me."

"Your purified gunpowder is already so powerful?"

Li Chengdao was surprised and said that the explosion just now was no less powerful than some bombs in later generations.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please see, this is the gunpowder we have purified."

Xu Mo nodded, and then someone carefully brought a wooden barrel over. Inside was a barrel of black powder. What was it if it wasn't gunpowder?
"I read various ancient alchemy books, and after many rounds of experiments, I constantly improved the gunpowder ratio, and finally came up with this powerful gunpowder."

"This barrel of gunpowder is enough to blow up a small hill!"

When Xu Mo's words fell, everyone was shocked.
