Chapter 229: Everyone is eyeing the explosives

The emergence of explosives shocked many people.

The reason why Fang Yuan won in Liaozhou was revealed.

For a time, all the powerful families were eyeing explosives.

After Fang Mansion eliminated three hundred Eastern Turkic warriors, the emperor's imperial edict arrived.

But not to Fang Mansion, but to Chang'an County Government, into Fang Yuan's hands.

"Fang Yuan, are the explosives used by Fang Mansion the same thing that your Liaozhou used to resist the Eastern Turkic cavalry?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

He probably knows the things used in Liaozhou.

At that time, he was grateful to Fang Yuan for guarding the Tang Dynasty and did not force Fang Yuan to hand it over.

Now Fang Yuan used it again and easily defeated three hundred Eastern Turkic warriors, shocking Li Shimin again.

It feels safe not to have such a powerful thing in my own hands.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fang Yuan did not hide it.

Because covering up has no effect.

The emergence of explosives is destined to be targeted by countless people.

"I trust you very much, but I also want to get explosives."

"If you have any conditions, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said seriously.

Fang Yuan is his wise minister and has helped him solve many problems.

Although the power of explosives is huge, it cannot allow him, a king, to make the decision to kill and steal goods.

Therefore, I plan to exchange with Fang Yuan and get the explosives that Fang Yuan currently owns.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I want an imperial edict to study special weapons!"

"I may still be able to research and develop powerful weapons like explosives, so please allow me to grant you the privilege. In the future, whether I or the Mohist Research Institute develop any powerful weapons, we will allow it."

Fang Yuan said respectfully.

Explosives are a good thing, but if Li Shimin wants it, he can only give it to him.

There is no way, the other party is the emperor, it is already good to have a good discussion and give benefits.

If you still want to object or refute something, then you are being ignorant and offending the emperor.

"This is not a problem...but in addition to keeping the things you research, you also need to give me a copy."

"In addition, all highly lethal weapons, including explosives, cannot be obtained by third parties."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

It’s good to study lethal weapons.

It is a good thing to use more sophisticated weapons to kill more enemies and reduce the losses of your own army.

But while good things are good, you must also be careful not to let other forces get them, otherwise it will pose a threat to the stability of the court.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I still understand this point."

Fang Yuan chuckled.

Only when weapons are in the hands of a few people can they truly play their important role.

If everyone has weapons with huge destructive power, then a balance will be reached between them, and they may in turn check and balance themselves.

Fang Yuan has never wanted to expose the explosives. He just doesn't want others to know about it, and he doesn't want to give the explosives to the court.

But with the emergence of fireworks, explosives will gradually be developed, and the delay will not be very long.

Therefore, after Du Miaoyan used explosives, he listened to the emperor's advice and just focused on the benefits.

After all, new weapons have appeared again, such as the fire blunderbuss that Juzi and others secretly studied.

"That's fine. I'll send someone to deliver it to you shortly."

"After sending it, you have someone give him the manufacturing method and provide him with technical support."

Li Shimin is very decisive and does not make too many demands.

He believes that Fang Yuan is a smart person and will not tell others.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I have something else to do. We said before in Liaozhou that we would establish banks and promote banknotes. I wonder if you still remember."

Fang Yuan said.

Fang Yuan thought about the bank matter for a long time.

There is a bank in Liaozhou, but currently it is only used for depositing and withdrawing money and lending services.

Those who really want to implement banknotes need the consent of the imperial court and the consent of Li Shimin.

Now that Du Ruhui is still alive and can control many people, set up a bank first.

After being saved, I couldn't suppress it, and my interests were divided up by others.

"I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me."

"You go ahead and do it, and I will give you the imperial edict together."

Li Shimin patted his head and laughed.

It’s true, Fang Yuan didn’t say that he had really forgotten.

There are too many things to do, we are busy every day, and without anyone to remind us, it is easy to forget.

The emperor's daily life was reminded by eunuchs, but there were no eunuchs to help record what happened during his private visits incognito.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will retire."

Fang Yuan said with a smile on his face.

Although I will hand over the explosives when I enter the palace this time.

But for myself, there is no loss.

It’s not that you can’t use explosives on your own, it’s just that another force can use them.

Moreover, he also received the privilege of researching weapons and the promise of establishing a bank.

This time East Turkestan was a big help.

Fang Yuan left the imperial study and almost walked out of Chengtian Gate.

But at this moment, a little eunuch ran over.

"Fang Ling, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you."

The little eunuch panted and said politely.

"Please lead the way."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and asked the young eunuch to lead the way.

Not long after, Fang Yuan came to the East Palace again and saw Li Chengqian.

When he saw Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian was sitting on a stool similar to a wheelchair, being pushed from behind.

Fang Yuan has also seen the person behind him. He is the very beautiful man who stood in the C position at the last East Palace banquet.

Today, this man was also dressed beautifully, giving people a enchanting feeling, but Fang Yuan looked a little disgusted and averted his eyes.

"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."

Fang Yuan saluted Li Chengqian.

And looked at Li Chengqian again.

Li Chengqian has one leg tied up with a strap and his face is a little pale, but he looks in good condition.

"No gift."

"Leaving from His Majesty?"

Li Chengqianxu raised his hand and said.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan nodded and said neither humble nor arrogantly.

"Fang Yuan, I heard that you now have a very powerful weapon."
