"Third brother, can we set off fireworks every new year and festival in the future?" Jin Yang's little face was filled with anticipation.
"Of course, no problem. Third brother can also develop better-looking fireworks." Li Ke said with a smile. Anyway, these matters are left to the craftsmen to solve. It doesn't matter whether they can be developed, but Li Ke feels that as long as there is Motivation, these craftsmen will always find ways to develop a variety of fireworks.
"Really? Is there anything better than this?" Jinyang asked expectantly.
"Of course!" Li Ke smiled and touched Jinyang's head and simply picked her up from the ground.
Unlike others, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian paid more attention to the way the fireworks were launched. Such an iron barrel was not thick, it was only as thick as a human arm, which meant that it was easy to carry it on the battlefield.
Moreover, the weight of these things themselves does not seem to be heavy. With such a shooting height, if they are launched at an angle, they will obviously fall farther.
I just don't know how to control the fuses, but that doesn't matter, as long as they can be guaranteed to explode among the crowd or the cavalry team.
If what exploded in the fireworks were iron pieces as Li Ke said, then this power would be miraculous not only for cavalry, but also for infantry, and even when attacking a city.
After all, when attacking a city, if you calculate the distance and explode on the city wall, it will be too difficult to stand on the city wall. At that time, your own soldiers can easily use prepared shields to get close to the underground of the city wall.
In just a short period of time, Li Shimin had already thought of countless ways to use it, and he figured out that this thing would be excellent if used to send messages in the army at night.
At such a height, in the dark night, you can see it for several miles or even ten miles. If it is on the top of a mountain, you can probably see it for more than ten miles.
It has many uses.
This is the limitation of people's thinking. If Li Ke hadn't reminded that this thing could be used in the military, Li Shimin would probably have smiled knowingly with his daughter at this moment, thinking that this thing is pretty good-looking. Every festival is held in the palace, and these uses are never thought of.
But after Li Ke's reminder, Li Shimin contacted some situations on the battlefield and immediately thought of many uses on the battlefield.
The same is naturally true for Li Chengqian. Although Li Chengqian didn't think as much as Li Shimin, after all, he had never led troops to fight, and there was still a big gap between him and Li Shimin. But after Li Ke figured it out, some of the things in it could still be figured out.
"Aye, I think Sanlang is right about this thing. If it is handled well, it can indeed play a big role when facing Goguryeo." Li Chengqian whispered.
Li Shimin looked at Li Ke who was playing with Jinyang, Chengyang and other little guys below, nodded and said: "Hey, you're right, you just have a bit of a lethargic temperament. Also, what's going on with you recently?" ? Why do I feel like you haven’t been paying attention to state affairs lately?”
Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Li Chengqian strangely.
"Really? No, it was Qingque before and Saburo after the new year. There is no need for Erchen to worry about it for the time being. There is actually no big problem in their handling of political affairs. If Sanlang is willing, Erchen would like to give the crown prince's position to him. Get out." There was no one else around Li Chengqian and Li Shimin, so Li Chengqian said with a relieved smile.
Li Shimin: "..."
He glanced at Li Chengqian, and then said seriously: "I'm telling you, don't imitate Li Ke. He is just a bastard. Where did you come up with this idea?"
"Aye, I'm not joking." Li Chengqian said, somewhat dumbfounded, "Actually, I suddenly feel that I am not suitable to be this emperor. Think about it, it is actually okay for me to be a conservative king, but with Sanlang's current situation Ideals and aspirations, with your support, it won’t be long before Datang’s territory will expand to a very powerful level.”
"When the time comes, I have no confidence in whether I can maintain this success. Of course, dad, I will definitely try my best, but people's talents are different. It doesn't mean that hard work will bring results, as Saburo said As a common saying goes, people's efforts are like shit. Sometimes after working hard for a long time, the result is nothing."
Li Shimin: "..."
This bastard, I don't know where all the weird things come from every day, but don't tell me, there is also some nonsense in it, which makes people dumbfounded.
"Okay, don't think too much. Don't look at your brothers. How many of them can inherit this position is you. Your good brothers have already smoothed the way forward for you. "Li Shimin said angrily.
Li Chengqian: "..."
To be honest, Li Chengqian sometimes thought about it, and the third child was really outrageous. He could grasp Li Tai's thoughts so accurately, and he was sure that Li Tai would give up. Now it seems... Li Tai gave up harder than anything else.
I really don’t know how he can recognize people so accurately.
Could it be that you learned fortune telling from Taoist Master Li Chunfeng? Or did you learn from Yuan Tiangang, who was recruited into the palace by his father in the eighth year of Zhenguan? I haven't heard anything about the relationship between the third child and these two people.
Shaking his head, Li Chengqian was too lazy to think about this. He said, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely not waste my studies or delay my political affairs."
"Well, you did a good job. You brothers will have to rely on you to take care of them in the end. When I wait a hundred years from now, the Tang Dynasty will depend on you." Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
"Father, you should rest more when you should rest. There are endless political affairs to deal with. There are so many things in a country and they are endless. You have to take good care of your body." Li Chengqian said.
"I understand. Isn't this what I asked Li Ke to help me in the next year? His Xizhou has done well this year. There must be a series of things to deal with in Xizhou in the next year. Moreover, this year he will promote Quyuanli and also It is necessary to expand Datang Weekly to most major cities in the world."
"Only because of the arguments he had with ministers about these things years later, I gave him the position of supervising the country. Otherwise, if Li Tai came to do this, it would definitely delay the development of the Tang Dynasty. I am too lazy to bear it anymore. Once, just let him handle it directly. When the time comes, I will help him make the big decisions, and he can handle the rest of the small things by himself, and it will be more efficient." Li Shimin nodded.
"Father is wise." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"Okay, it's not like you haven't seen that asking him to supervise the country is the same as killing him. He has been here all day to stir up trouble for me. I'm telling you, you can help me warn him in private that he is going to If he doesn't do a good job, I will put him in prison for one year." Li Shimin whispered, he glanced over there, and it seemed that the fireworks were almost set off.
"I understand." Li Chengqian's expression became solemn when he heard that he had been jailed for one year. One year? Do you have to fight wits and courage with Duke Zheng, Duke Qi, Duke Wei, Duke Kui and others every day?
Damn~~~~~~~~~~~~~~terrible.
