Chapter 1501: Li Er's Spirit!
Fang Jun was a little disappointed with His Majesty Li Er's "self-righteousness", this kind of idea of traveling through the times is indeed not something that His Majesty Li Er can understand and understand, this has nothing to do with His Majesty Li Er's IQ and ability, it is purely a generation gap constructed by time.
However, if everyone is as simple as His Majesty Li Er thinks that Fang Jun intends to seize power for the military department, then Fang Jun is naturally happy to see it, and he is the best at this kind of thing as hiding from the sky and crossing the sea to secretly Chen Cang......
His Majesty Li Er reprimanded Fang Jun, picked up Fang Jun's note on the desk again, opened it and looked at it, his sword eyebrows frowned, and his expression was a little worried.
"The advantage of firearms is really the courage of ten thousand people...... You're thunder, you're artillery, and you're this musket...... If it continues to be vigorously developed, wouldn't it be a woman and naughty boy who has no power to restrain the chicken, and can also kill people? Now that the military power of our Tang Dynasty is rampant in the world, is it still necessary to develop this firearm that can hurt others, but also hurt oneself? ”
Hearing His Majesty Li Er's question, Fang Jun's heart suddenly sank.
Sure enough, the emperor's perspective on things is the same, and the "holy grandfather" of the Qing Dynasty was afraid of this when facing the power of firearms. As a result, because of the fear of powerful firearms and the confidence in the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, not only the latest firearms were put on the shelf, but even the firearms R&D and production system established in the Ming Dynasty was completely eradicated......
Nothing more than that!
Fang Jun's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Weichen just wants to ask Your Majesty one sentence - Weichen can develop firearms, so can others?" My Datang can make firearms, so can other countries?! ”
His Majesty Li Er was stunned, and immediately woke up suddenly!
He was just afraid of the power of firearms, and felt that such divine weapons should not be what should be in the world, and the damage was huge, and it hurt the heavens and the peace! Most importantly, with the range and power of firearms, it can easily pose an extreme threat to the safety of him, the emperor of the world!
It can even keep him awake at night......
However, Fang Jun's words made him wake up like an initiation!
Fang Jun is indeed amazing and brilliant in miscellaneous studies, but there are countless capable people in the world, who dares to say that no one can beat Fang Jun in miscellaneous studies? Fang Jun can make firearms, but he can't make them if he knows others? Even if it can't be made now, what about ten years from now? What about a hundred years from now?
After all, there will be man-made ones!
Fang Jun continued to agitate for a three-inch tongue: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and he is the unprecedentedly wise monarch, so he naturally knows that the way of the country is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat!" First of all, now Datang is thriving and prosperous, but we must not be complacent and complacent! The more these seemingly bright moments of the future, the more we must make every effort to forge ahead, so that our Tang Dynasty will be mighty and strong, and dominate the four seas! We are now the first empire in the world to develop firearms, this is a good opportunity given by God, as long as we continue to give financial and policy support in the research and development of firearms, we can make firearms lead the world, and in the future will always be the best in the world! But if we give up the research and development of firearms at this moment, or even because we are afraid of the great power, we put them on the shelf and ban them completely, it would be a big mistake! In case tomorrow, the Turks, the Wa Kingdom, the Great Food, and even Goguryeo develop firearms, how will the Tang Iron Cavalry resist the divine soldiers who destroy the world with their flesh and blood? It is clear that we developed firearms first, but in the end we banned them because of our cowardice, and then the enemy overtook them head-on...... God doesn't take it, but suffers the blame! ”
This is not Fang Jun's alarmism, this is something that has clearly happened in history!
Gunpowder was invented by the Han people, but it was only used for firecrackers and fireworks, and finally it was the Westerners who carried it forward, and then armed with gunpowder to knock on the door of the country, causing the Chinese children to suffer a once-in-a-lifetime shame......
How many irreparable wounds did those century-long dark years inflict on this nation?
He couldn't let this happen again!
His Majesty Li Er was obviously moved by Fang Jun's words, and he groaned for a long time, his sword eyebrows raised fiercely, domineering and awe-inspiring: "What you said is right, Tianyu doesn't take it, but suffers from it!" God's choice of firearms was born in the Tang Dynasty, which is the greatest favor for the Tang Dynasty, how could I abandon such divine weapons because I was worried about my personal safety? I would rather die under the firearm and have no bones left, rather than be knocked open by foreigners with firearms in the future, ravaging the rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, and killing my people of the Tang Dynasty! ”
The sound is loud and reverberating above the main hall!
Fang Jun glared at His Majesty Li Er, who had a resolute face in front of him, and then took a long breath, got up and left his seat, took two steps back, and touched the ground!
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
This worship, Fang Jun is willing, just for His Majesty Li Er's pride!
He knew that the existence of firearms could make assassination easier, but he would rather take a great risk than bring the development of firearms to a halt and give foreigners any chance to rise!
This is the open-mindedness that an emperor of the world should have!
In comparison, the "Holy Grandfather" who has been boasted by countless incorruptible and shameless people is like a firefly compared to the scorching sun, and a bird's bird is compared to an eagle!
"Your Majesty! The Tang Dynasty is strong! Even if Weichen is broken, he is willing to drive! ”
Fang Jun's nose was slightly sour, and he said loudly.
"Woohaha...... Okay, okay, there are only you and me here, who are you and me looking like this? ”
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and laughed, and his face was happy.
Speaking from the bottom of his heart, the most unhappy thing about Fang Jun is that he feels that this guy really lacks reverence for him, the emperor of the world!
His Majesty Li Er has watched countless people, what kind of people have not seen it?
He could see Fang Jun's unruliness hidden in his bones, it was a kind of pride that although he didn't know why, he always looked down on all beings from above!
This kid looks down on all beings, and no one is convinced!
Including him, the supreme man of the world who holds the sun and the moon in his hands......
However, now, His Majesty Li Er can clearly feel Fang Jun's respect and tame from the heart, which has never been seen before, which makes him feel comfortable, and can make such a rebellious person tame and respect, this sense of accomplishment is too strong!
Fang Jun got up at this time, but he still said with a straight face: "Weichen is not flattering, Your Majesty has the world in mind and has thousands of miles of candles, which is really the blessing of the Tang Dynasty!" Wei Chen had never seen the three emperors and five emperors of the ancients, but he knew that even if they were true sages, they were nothing more than that. ”
His Majesty Li Er squinted, stroked his beard, and listened to Fang Jun's "sycophancy", and his mood flew up......
Fortunately, there is no one in the palace at this moment, if Wei Zheng is here, I am afraid that he will not detain these two people with a big hat of "faint monarch and minister" and reprimand them fiercely......
"Okay, let's talk about the foundry bureau you tinkered with, I always feel that it must not be as simple as it seems, are you kid hiding his backhand?"
I have to say that His Majesty Li Er has a deep understanding of Fang Jun, so he doesn't believe that this guy is just willing to repair the armor and fight for the weapons supervisor.
"Your Majesty is aware of everything......"
If you talk too much about sycophancy, you will inevitably be smooth......
"Your Majesty, have you ever seen Wei Chen's recital, which dedicates the new iron-making method of the Fangjia Iron Works to the Ministry of War?"
"Well, of course I saw it, why, didn't I always say that I robbed your glass workshop?"
His Majesty Li Er looked abusive.
Fang Jun smiled and said disapprerovingly: "Compared with the new iron-making technique, what is glass?" ”
His Majesty Li Er said curiously: "Then I don't understand, your kid regards wealth as his life, why do you take the initiative to sacrifice such an iron-making method that can almost guarantee the Fang family's food and clothing for hundreds of years?" ”
Fang Junquan didn't hear the words of "regard wealth as life", took two steps forward, and said with a shy smile: "Your Majesty also thinks that the new iron-making method can ensure that the Fang clan has no worries for hundreds of years?" I have to say that Your Majesty is really wise and wise...... Well, since His Majesty recognizes the value of this iron-making method, what do you think...... Shouldn't Wechen be given some rewards as compensation? ”
"Hehe......" His Majesty Li Er sneered: "For example? ”
Fang Jun was cheeky and said in a low voice: "For example, mention the title of Weichen...... You see, Weichen's official position is not high, but it is not low, ordinary contacts are princes and princes, this title is low, it is inevitable that you have to nod your head, and you will be a little shorter by white...... Besides, you see that Weichen has even sacrificed the art of iron smelting, you have to express it, right? Otherwise, if it is known by those imperial historians, you will have to arrange Your Majesty, your rewards and punishments are not distinguished, and the rewards and punishments are not clear, and it will be detrimental to your mighty and domineering holy name, isn't it ......"
His Majesty Li Er laughed angrily, such a brazen person who wants to beg for a knight is only seen in his life!
"Is this method of iron-making really so important?"
"Of course! Your Majesty knows the benefits of firearms, but what Wechen wants to tell you is that there is still a gap of 108,000 miles between the power of firearms and the expectations of Wechen in his heart! And the key to limiting the power of firearms is the quality of steel! For the sake of the splendid prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and for the sake of His Majesty's thousands of generations, Weichen can't bear to cut his love......"
His Majesty Li Er believes that Fang Jun will not lie, since the art of iron smelting is so important, it seems that Fang Jun will give it to be precious, but naturally he will not say anything good: "In this way, if I don't promote you to a marquis, you still have to instigate those officials of the Imperial History Observatory to impeach me?" ”
"Wechen doesn't dare, but justice is in the hearts of the people, and what others say, but Wechen can't control it......"
His Majesty Li Er was furious, and he brushed his sleeves and said, "Do you still want to be cheeky?" Fang Xuanling is like a jade gentleman, how did he give birth to such a scum as you...... Ahem, get out of here, go home and wait for the edict! ”
"Wechen obeys the order, thank you Lord Longen!"
Fang Junmei thanked her.
He was thinking in his heart, buddy dedicated the art of iron-making to His Majesty, and from then on, the Fangjia Iron Works would be in the same camp as the imperial court, but he didn't know what the eldest grandson Wuji, who took iron-making as the family's main business, thought?
