Great Tang Southern Emperor

So it's not that the emperors of the past dynasties were unwilling to expand their territories, but that even if you lay down a huge land, you can't rule.But it is different now. As long as there is a cement road, the mobilization of troops in the Tang Dynasty will be greatly increased. On the cement road, it is not a problem for the army to walk [-] miles in [-] days, and it is not impossible to walk [-] miles faster.In other words, as long as there is cement, Datang can increase the controllable territory by at least [-] miles. How many benefits and credits are included in this?

Therefore, the appearance of cement is of great significance to the Tang Empire. It can be said bluntly that as long as Li Zhen has the cement formula in his hand, even if Li Zhen asks Li Shimin for the governance of the entire Lingnan, he will agree without hesitation. , but now Li Zhen only asked for the right to smelt a metal, even Li Shimin felt it was a pity.

"Zhen'er, you invented cement, and you know its meaning very well. Isn't the power to smelt a steel a little less, and will Immortal Zhenyuan be dissatisfied?"

"It's okay, father, this cement boy can still make the decision." Li Zhen said boldly, but rolled his eyes, and smiled again: "Of course, if father is really sorry, I might as well give the boy some more mines." exploration and exploitation rights.”

"Okay, good Zhen'er, my father did not misunderstand you, my father agreed to everything you want." Li Shimin was very moved, he hugged Li Zhen in his arms, and kissed him hard.He didn't think that Li Zhen's request for the mining rights to him again was raising the price on the spur of the moment. Instead, he thought that Li Zhen was just trying to reduce the guilt in his heart, and the pity in his heart was even stronger.

"Father, this is the material formula of cement. In addition, there are too many design drawings of the cement kiln. Father can ask someone to pick it up by himself." Li Zhen took out a piece of paper with a few paragraphs written on it. Cement is at least primary cement, but there are not so many messy precautions. The formula mainly writes the name and proportion of cement materials, and then it is the time of high-temperature calcination and some precautions. It is very simple.

"So simple?" Li Shimin also felt that it was a little too simple. After all, it is also a treasure that benefits the country and the people. Why are there only a few words?

"But it's such a simple formula, but it took me several months and nearly ten thousand guan to get it out." Speaking of this, Li Zhen deliberately said: "By the way, are you going to give this money to my father?" Reimbursed?"

"Go, go, you still have the nerve to ask Father for money." Li Shimin is good at everything, but he can't ask him for money: "Seeing that the army is about to go to war, and the treasury is empty, the rats will starve to death, and Father will return it." I don’t know where to get the money, and you want me to reimburse you? Besides, you have to earn nearly a thousand gold and silver every day, and the emperor didn’t even collect taxes from you.”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin felt a pain in his liver. If he had known that Li Zhen could make money so much, why would he pretend to be a wolf with a big tail?What kind of tax exemption?

"However, my child's tax-free right was exchanged from my father with a horseshoe." Li Zhen blinked her eyes and pretended to be ignorant: "Could it be that your father is jealous of your child's income, and you are going to break your promise and want to take it back?" Tax-free?"

"Of course not." Despite the blood dripping from his heart, Li Shimin pretended to be generous and said: "You are not joking, how can you take back what my father promised to Zhen'er? Besides, you only earn a thousand pens a day." , Father still doesn't like it."

"Hee hee, thank you, Father." Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and then pulled off a bunch of his beard, Li Shimin grinned in pain.

"Okay, I've finished discussing the matter of cement in my heart, should you show my father the power of the grenade?" Li Shimin hasn't forgotten the grenade yet.

"Father will not be disappointed."

Li Shimin came to a lawn with Li Zhen in his arms: "Is this okay?"

"Perform in the palace? Father, let's go to Nanshan for an experiment?" Li Zhen was in a dilemma. Although she heard it from herself, it was obvious that Li Shimin didn't take the grenade seriously.It's just that Li Shimin didn't know, but Li Zhen was too aware of how much energy a grenade made of ammonium nitrate explosives could generate when it exploded. Demonstrating it in the palace would scare the pampered beauties and princes to death.

"It's okay, just stay here." Li Shimin said proudly, "It's just that there is nothing new in the palace these days, so let's use this thing to refresh my father."

"I'll go" Li Zhen was speechless, holding a grenade to refresh her mind, father, you are really brave enough, that's all, since you are not afraid anymore, why should I be afraid?

Li Zhen also went all out: "That's fine, but for safety's sake, father, you have to plug your ears."

"Plug your ears? No need, father, I have fought all my life, and I haven't seen anything? A mere grenade can't scare father." Li Shimin waved his hand grandly. In his opinion, what's the point of a little noise?

"Okay." Li Zhen didn't care, anyway, this empty place couldn't kill anyone, at most it was more noisy.

"Father, let's stand here." Just in time, there was a half-height stone wall beside the lawn, and Li Zhen pulled Li Shimin behind the stone wall—although it was certain that the grenade would not hurt anyone, just in case, Still have to do some protection.

"Okay, this time it's okay?" Li Shimin felt that Li Zhen's affairs were a little too much, isn't it just a big firecracker, why should he be so careful?

"Okay." Li Zhen pulled out the safety pin lightly, pressed the reed fiercely, and then threw the grenade out with the speed of thunder and the ringing of bells, and then threw Li Shi Min put it down on the ground, and stuck out his head to observe the situation.

after three seconds

"Boom!" There was a thunderbolt in the clear sky, as if thunder came down into the world, flames rose from the ground, mixed with gravel and dust, scattered in all directions, and the furthest one even landed on Li Zhen's body.

After the movement passed, Li Zhen pulled Li Shimin up: "Father, are you okay?"

"Oh!!!! It's okay." Li Shimin shook the dust off his head, and then sighed: "Oh my God, why is there such a loud noise?"

"It's still small." Li Zhen added Li Shimin: "If it's made into a dynamite bag, the walls of Chang'an City won't even be able to withstand it. Let's go and see the specific effect."

"Wait a minute, father's legs are a bit weak." Li Shimin supported half of his body on Li Zhen. If Li Zhen still had some strength, he would be overwhelmed.

"I told you that the emperor blocked your ears, but you didn't listen." Li Zhen blamed her, but she burst into laughter in her heart, making you look down on people, you will suffer a loss this time, right?

"Yes, yes, it is the fault of the father." Li Shimin admitted his mistake with a wry smile: "The father never thought that there would be such a loud artifact in this world."

"Hey, it's not just the loud sound." Feeling that Li Shimin had almost recovered, Li Zhen pulled Li Shimin to the explosion site: "Father, you should feel it yourself."

"Could it be that this was caused by the explosion just now?" Li Shimin looked at the pit that was still emitting green smoke in disbelief, saying that the purified ammonium nitrate explosive is really powerful enough, and a grenade charge is only a little more than one or two ( Between 50 grams and 70 grams), it actually exploded a big hole nearly one foot deep and two feet wide. This power is really worthy of my investment of ten pennies (the cost of Li Zhen's manufacturing grenade).

"Otherwise?" Li Zhen asked back: "Apart from the boy's grenade, did anything else appear here just now?"

"But this power..." Li Shimin still couldn't believe it.

"Otherwise, father, do you want to try another one, my son still has it here." Li Zhen took out another grenade.

"Zhen'er, you put such a dangerous thing in your arms? It's really too dangerous." Li Shimin took the grenade: "Let the father save it for you, at worst, the father will give you another ten taels of gold. "

"What about the face?"Just so blatantly robbing your son, Li Shimin, what about your dignity as an emperor?

"Father, even if you have a sample, you won't be able to research it." Li Zhen looked at Li Shimin silently, directly breaking his mind.

"Zhen'er, you misunderstood." Li Shimin looked embarrassed when he was told what was on his mind, and he was in a panic trying to explain something.

But Li Zhen didn't listen to his explanation, and took out another grenade, and dismantled it in front of Li Shimin's face three or two times, pointing to the explosives wrapped together and said: "This explosive It is the key to the explosion of the grenade, if you don’t have the formula for the explosive, even if you can imitate the shell of the grenade, what’s the use of it?”

"Well, that's how it is." Li Shimin touched the explosive carefully: "It's nothing special, but the smell is a bit strong, a bit like urine."

"Father's guess is correct. There is something in this ammonium nitrate explosive that requires urine to be extracted." Li Zhen did not deny it.

"However, compared to the composition of the ammonium nitrate explosive, you should be more worried about another issue now, Father." Having said this, Li Zhen had a smirk on his face.

"What's the problem?" Li Shimin asked subconsciously.

"Mother's Queen" Li Zhen let out a shrill scream, and then rushed in one direction

Chapter 97

Chapter 25 The legendary villain first sues

"Mother!" Li Zhen's voice suddenly became a little crying, and she rushed towards a figure not far away: "Mother, all this has nothing to do with the child, it's all the idea of ​​the father. The boy had already persuaded his father not to play with grenades in the palace, but he didn't listen. What's more, the father actually asked the father to demonstrate to him such a powerful grenade, which is too much , woo woo woo”

"What?" Only then did Li Shimin realize that the surroundings were full of people, most of whom were his concubines, but these concubines who were usually obedient to him all looked at him with vicious eyes at this time. Especially Empress Changsun had the worst complexion.

"Zhen'er, you traitor, I..." Li Shimin's back molars are about to be crushed with hatred, but because his wives look at him like this, he still doesn't dare to say anything cruel to Li Zhen, so he can only stay with him. Smiling, pretending to be crazy, he asked: "Guanyin servant girl, all my concubines, why are you here? Did something happen in the palace? I heard a thunder just now, could it be that there is thunder somewhere?"

"Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun's voice was so loud that anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Guanyin maidservant, your health is not good, don't be angry, don't be angry." Li Shimin hurriedly supported the eldest grandson, and at the same time gave Li Zhen who was hiding behind the eldest grandson, Li Zhen made a wicked face back.

"Do you still know that I'm not in good health?" The eldest grandson's face didn't get any better: "Do you know that my concubine's illness almost relapsed just now, because of the loud noise."

"Is that so? I'm sorry, Maid Guanyin, I promise that such a thing will never happen again." Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief, but almost committed a crime.

"Your Majesty, what happened just now? Why did there suddenly be a thunder on the ground?" The eldest grandson was coaxed by Li Shimin, and Concubine Yin (Li You's mother) asked scoldingly: "You don't know, that loud noise is so scary. A lot of people were ruined, some people were taking a lunch break, and after being shocked, they ran out without even putting on their clothes. In the end, it was my sister who shot and killed a few chaotic people, which stabilized the situation."
