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."
"I'm curious, can you teach me how to make it?"
Li Chengqian nodded and did not ask what he said.
He is just a prince, how can he dare to inquire about the affairs between the emperor and his ministers?
"I want to, but His Majesty just warned me not to tell anyone."
Fang Yuan secretly sighed that it was indeed the case.
The reason why I called myself to the East Palace in such a hurry was because of the explosives.
It's a pity that Li Shimin has forbidden himself to tell others, so it is impossible for him to tell Li Chengqian.
It is estimated that not only Li Chengqian, but also the third prince Li Ke will stop him later and want explosives.
"His Majesty has forbidden you to pass it on to anyone?"
Li Chengqian frowned and said.
He clenched his teeth slightly at those three words.
"Yes."
"Your Highness, please forgive me."
Fang Yuan’s righteous way.
"Okay, then you can go back first."
Li Chengqian did not force him, nor did he dare to force him.
The emperor has banned it, who dares to force it?
It’s okay, the emperor has banned it, and I don’t have to worry about others finding out.
"Yes."
Fang Yuan bowed his hand.
Turn around and leave.
Sure enough, as Fang Yuan thought, the third prince's people came over to invite.
But this time Fang Yuan did not go over and directly asked the person to tell him what Fang Yuan meant.
What Fang Yuan didn't expect was that in addition to the third prince Li Ke, people from the fourth prince Li Tai also came.
But Fang Yuan didn't see them either, and told them that the emperor forbids telling anyone about explosives.
After leaving the palace, it was actually still early in the day, but Fang Yuan did not go to the county office, but directly skipped work and returned to Fang Mansion.
When Fang Yuan returned to Fang Mansion, the people watching had already dispersed, and all the blood stains on the ground had been removed, as if nothing had happened.
"Master, you are back."
The dog guarded the door and was the first to welcome Fang Yuan.
"Well, how is your family?"
Fang Yuan nodded and asked while walking.
"It's nothing serious, just a few people injured."
"Madam and Xue Bowu are very powerful and successfully fought back against the troublesome East Turks."
Gouzi's eyes showed admiration.
Everyone said that Madam and Xue Bowu were very powerful in martial arts.
Only when you really see it can you understand what it means to be awesome.
"That's good."
Fang Yuan felt relieved.
After walking back to the backyard, I saw Du Miaoyan.
"Husband, are you back so early?"
Du Miaoyan was a little surprised.
She already knew that Fang Yuan was ordered by the officials not to interfere.
So normally, I won’t be able to come back until 0:00 today, or even later.
But I didn't expect that Fang Yuan would come back so early, which was unexpected.
"The emperor announced that I would come to the palace to ask for the recipe for explosives."
"I gave and asked for a benefit, so I came back early..."
Fang Yuan informed Du Miaoyan of the situation.
"People like His Majesty are also eyeing explosives. It is estimated that many people will also be eyeing explosives."
"Although His Majesty prohibits you from informing third-party forces, I'm afraid they will find a way to get it."
Du Miaoyan was suddenly a little worried.
Although the emperor banned it, he could only ban those who were on the surface.
But those in the dark cannot, such as Bishamon and Den Ling's ink, etc.
They will definitely not listen to the emperor, and will even force Fang Yuan to hand over his technology.
"Don't be afraid, just let them come."
Fang Yuan shook his head and smiled.
He had thought about this, it was a troublesome matter.
But that doesn’t mean you have to be scared.
In any case, they are in the dark.
Since I am the magistrate of Chang'an, both the Fang Mansion and the Chang'an County Government are safe.
And after waiting for Li Shimin's imperial edict to be issued, Juzi and others will be able to study fire guns.
"As long as your husband has a strategy."
Du Miaoyan smiled and nodded.
The two chatted about what happened today.
It is unanimously believed that the East Turks will not give up.
But getting revenge may not be that easy.
After all, most of the Eastern Turks in Chang'an City were killed.
If you look for trouble again with that little strength, you are asking for trouble.
In the evening, the royal palace issued an imperial edict, allowing Fang Yuan to research special weapons, and also agreed to Fang Yuan establishing a bank.
It is easy to set up a bank, but profit distribution is the top priority, so when Fang Yuan gave the explosive formula to the eunuch, he also gave the bank's profit contract.
That was negotiated before, and it needs the emperor's seal to be established.
After dinner.
Fang Yuan found Juzi.
"This is an imperial edict, please keep it well."
"Whatever happens in the future, this is the gold medal to avoid death."
Fang Yuan smiled and handed the imperial edict to Juzi.
The reason why the imperial edict is needed is because the things to be studied in the future are too lethal.
With this holy decree, no matter whether Li Shimin is the emperor or not, the emperor will have some scruples.
Therefore, Fang Yuan will officially create the fire gun only if he has an imperial edict. The previous research was all in the theoretical and testing stages.
"You should be careful when you go out these days, I feel like you are being watched."
Juzi cares.
As a member of the Mo family, Juzi felt that Mo Cailing had set his sights on Fang Yuan.
Although Fang Yuan is under the orders of Chang'an and is very safe at home in Chang'an County, he still needs to pay more attention to safety.
"If you are targeted, you will be targeted."
Fang Yuan said disapprovingly.
Being targeted is inevitable, just let it go.
"Master, there is a woman named Mo Cailing asking to see you."
Gouzi came to report.
"Invite her in."
Fang Yuan and Juzi looked at each other and immediately invited each other.
Not long after, Mo Cailing and a young man appeared in front of Fang Yuan and the others.
Young Fang Yuan and Juzi have also met, it is the young man they met in Liaozhou before.
"Fang Yuan, long time no see, didn't I disturb you?"
Mo Cailing and the young man saluted Fang Yuan with a very friendly attitude.
"No, what does Miss Mo have to do with me?"
Fang Yuan chuckled.
The giant on the side stared at Mo Cailing warily.
It's definitely not a good thing to come here at night, or maybe you just came here for the explosives.
"If you want the recipe for explosives, you can provide us with the conditions."
Mo Cailing said bluntly.
"Do you still owe me a favor?"
Fang Yuan asked.
"Yes, you want to exchange favors for me not to use explosives?"
Mo Cailing was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
"That's a good idea. I'm just making sure you remember it."
"If you want dynamite, you can give it ten thousand guan."
Fang Yuan almost laughed out of anger.
I can exchange the favors I owe in this way. Isn’t it a big thank you to myself?
"Ten thousand guan?!"
"Fang Yuan, even if you sell me, I'm not worth ten thousand yuan."
Mo Cailing exclaimed.
The young man who came with him was also very surprised.
Even though I thought Fang Yuan would charge a high price before coming here.
But this price is too high, too outrageous.
"If you think the explosives are not worth it, you don't have to buy them. I am no better than you."
Fang Yuan smiled slightly, shrugged and said.
"So there's nothing to talk about?"
Mo Cailing frowned and said in a deep voice.
Fang Yuan's price somewhat embarrassed the two of them.
In other words, he doesn’t want to talk to himself and is just teasing the two of him.
"We need to discuss it. If the money is available, I will give you the manufacturing method."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
"A thousand strings...can you?"
Mo Cailing gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice.
"It's okay, but you have to owe me another favor."
“And you pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the same hand!”
Fang Yuan thought for a while and agreed.
"Okay, I'll contact you in a few days."
Mo Cailing was a little stunned, but she didn't expect Fang Yuan to agree.
Could it be said that my favor is worth nine thousand guan?
For a moment, Mo Cailing felt elated.
"When the time comes, we will do it secretly and no one will know about it."
Fang Yuan looked solemn and said seriously.
"Don't worry, I will notify you in advance."
Mo Cailing nodded to express her understanding.
She also cannot be known to possess explosives.
"Not sent."
Fang Yuan waved his hand and asked Mo Cailing and the others to leave.
"Farewell."
Mo Cailing left happily.
She wants to go back and collect money to buy the source of explosives.
"Fang Yuan, why did you suddenly sell it to them?"
"Didn't he say that the emperor forbids you from leaking information to third parties?"
Juzi asked very puzzledly.
The Deng Ling clan's ink is a third-party force, why did Fang Yuan give it to the other party?
Moreover, it’s just a favor from Mo Cailing, so the price is just one day at a time.
"Big Brother, you study explosives. You should know that explosives are actually very easy to research."
"Set off explosives a few more times, or set off fireworks a few more times, and someone will probably discover how explosives are made."
"Then why not take this opportunity to make some money from them and enrich our family."
Fang Yuan smiled mysteriously.
Li Shimin promised not to leak it.
But isn’t it enough to come secretly and not take action personally?
When Emperor Hu found out, he said that the explosives were leaked and had nothing to do with him.
Of course, there are still risks, but the benefits outweigh the risks, so you can take the risk.
Moreover, the bank is about to hold a meeting, which will divert Li Shimin’s attention.
