The ground shook and the rumble was really loud.
Li Zhao lay on the ground subconsciously, and those who were close to the explosion area looked disgraced.
They experienced temporary deafness in their ears and dull expressions.
Before, they had only heard Li Zhao say that this thing was very powerful, but they did not have a clear understanding or clear research on this kind of thing.
Therefore, they have no respect for gunpowder.
Until this explosion, everyone involved in the study was stunned.
"Is this...is this thunder?"
Their eyes were dull, their hearts were beating fast, and their outlook was shattered.
It wasn't until Li Zhao entered that they finally managed to regain some consciousness and shouted: "Your Majesty, this..."
They were really scared.
With a smile on his face, Li Zhao comforted them and said, "This is the gunpowder I want. Have the test data been recorded?"
"Everything, everything is recorded!" Li Runtu took out his ears. Now he still can't hear the sounds from the outside world.
The rest of the people only saw Li Zhao's mouth moving, and he was in a state of temporary deafness.
Li Zhao immediately picked up the things and looked at them, his smile became wider, and he ordered Wu Diao Si to bring the doctor in to check their bodies.
These are all great talents and cannot be lost.
After the doctor came in, he checked them carefully and made sure there were no problems. Li Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone participating today will be rewarded heavily! Ten sticks for each person!"
"Hiss—" The entire research camp fell into dead silence.
Li Runtu and the others were stunned as if they had been cast a restraining spell.
Wu Diao Si was also shocked, and after a long while he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Why don't you thank the prince quickly?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Runtu and the others knelt down gratefully and kowtowed to Li Zhao.
Ten strings!
This is a reward that has never been given before.
Even Long Carpenter and the others have only received the highest reward of five swords.
Li Runtu and the others all had smiles on their faces, not to mention how excited and proud they were in their hearts.
Li Zhao found an open place to sit down and waved to Li Runtu and the others. These men had really worked hard.
Gunpowder has been studied these days, and people have been burned.
Li Zhao felt a little sorry for them, so he said: "The credit for the research on gunpowder belongs to you, and ten guan of money will be paid to you in the evening."
"I've worked hard on you during this period. I'll give you two days off. Let's all have a good rest at home and recuperate."
"Prince!" Li Runtu became a little anxious when he heard that he was going to have a holiday.
Li Zhao pressed his hands slightly and said: "Listen to me, no matter who it is, as long as they have researched something, they will take a vacation. This is a rule. I have seen all the research you have done day and night for so many days. "
"In addition, I asked you to go back to rest so that you can better devote yourself to new research. I still have many places where I need to reuse you, you know?"
Everyone was moved and immediately clasped their fists and said, "Yes."
"Make more gunpowder according to this proportion today!" At this point, Li Zhao's expression became extremely serious and said: "Everyone must remember what I say next."
"First, when studying gunpowder, there must be absolutely no open flames!"
"Second, when you test gunpowder in the future, you must not test it here. I will choose a suitable venue for you!"
"Third, I will immediately arrange for people to make new clothes for you. From now on, you must wear them whenever you are at work."
"I will obey the prince's instructions!" Li Runtu and others immediately clasped their fists and obeyed the order.
"Okay, then you go and study it first. I need a lot of explosive bags." Li Zhaodao.
Li Runtu and others immediately went to study it excitedly. They knew that they finally had a place to use it.
Although they still don't know what use this thing is to the prince, they can imagine that if this thing is not important, the prince will never reward him with so much money.
After Li Runtu and the others continued to study the explosive packets, Li Zhao said: "Collect a large amount of saltpeter. If there is not enough saltpeter, you can have all the men urinate together in the public toilet."
"yes!"
Although there is a lot of saltpeter, Li Zhao will still attract attention if he collects it in large quantities. The best way is to produce it himself.
Charcoal is easy to solve and can be produced by oneself, so Li Zhao also made arrangements.
"Find a secluded place. It's mainly quiet. Even if there are not many people who know about the noise." Li Zhao then told Wu Diao Temple: "Tell me when you find it and arrange for people to go there and build the factory immediately. Remember, you must Good light.”
"yes!"
"Go and inform Zhao Chun'e and Zhou Mingbo to let the garment factory give priority to the production of clothes here. I will handle the materials."
"yes!"
The clothing worn by researchers cannot simply be uniform, but should be considered for safety.
Perhaps Li Runtu and the others will keep Li Zhao's words firmly in mind, but they have only seen the lowest version of gunpowder and have no idea how terrifying the explosion will be when everything is piled together.
Li Zhao didn't want his people to die, so he could only use orders to stop them and at the same time give them more life-saving means.
Only in this way can he feel at ease.
This was also the first time Wu Diao Si saw Li Zhao taking a research so seriously, and he guessed that this gunpowder might be very useful.
Only those who have truly experienced the horror of gunpowder will treat it as cautiously as Li Zhao.
It's a pity that gunpowder has just been born, and its true power has not yet exploded.
"Your Majesty!" A guard came to report: "Those aristocratic families are here again."
"Buying tools?" Li Zhao looked suspicious.
He remembered that he had already received all the customers who could buy Quyuan Li. Although there were still people coming to buy, there were not many people.
"No, they are here to discuss cooperation with you, Your Majesty."
"Go and have a look!" Li Zhao led people back to the reception area.
A large group of faces that looked very familiar but could not be named flashed in front of Li Zhao.
Aren't these aristocratic families all from Hailong County?
Of course, there are also people from other places in this group.
Li Zhao motioned for them to sit down and served tea.
"I heard that His Highness Prince You is in short supply of materials now?"
This man was somewhat familiar to Li Zhao. If he remembered correctly, he should be the heir to the Lin family, second only to the four major families in Hailong County, named Lin Hairong.
Their family mines stone, the technology is very mature, and there are many workers.
Good stone quarries are basically owned by them.
Many of Li Zhao's previous stones were purchased by his family.
However, the Lin family did not cooperate with Li Zhao in the future, mainly because the Lin family felt that Li Zhao was dead last time and broke off cooperation with Prince You's Mansion.
The Lin family wanted to continue doing business with Li Zhao, but Li Zhao was not happy unless they sold the stone at a low price to pay off the debt.
Naturally, the Lin family was not happy. They still wanted to make money from Li Zhao, so how could they lower the price?
What's more, the price of Li Zhao's tools has increased ridiculously. If you really agree to Li Zhao, you will lose your blood.
"I am very short of materials." Li Zhao said bluntly, "However, I have no intention of cooperating with the Lin family for the time being."
