Li An didn't answer the minister's words, he directly picked up the wine jar, walked towards Li Longji, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the thing that produces thunder is in this jar, and there is a burning cotton thread outside, as long as the cotton thread is lit and burned inside, this jar will explode violently, and it is extremely powerful." ”

Li Longji frowned and looked at the wine jar in front of him, nodded and said, "Li Shilang, let's start then!" I want to see with my own eyes the power of this jar. ”

Li An took the order, handed the wine jar back to Zhao Liu, and instructed: "Zhao Liu, see the big tree in front of you!" You just put this in the middle of the trunk and the gazebo, and when you light it, you hide it, you know? ”

"Ah Lang, this power must be more powerful than yesterday's, this guy will go down, the big tree and the pavilion will be finished, let's change places! Everything in the palace is very expensive. ”

Zhao Liu lowered his voice and suggested, he had long known Li An's purpose, but he didn't expect to test it near the palace hall, and he felt a little worried in his heart, he was afraid of damaging the houses in the palace.

"What so much nonsense, Your Majesty is not distressed, what are you distressed about, go quickly."

Li An scolded and asked Zhao Liu to hurry up and prepare, in fact, Li An originally wanted to find a proper place to test, but the emperor and all the ministers were in the Xuanzheng Palace, and it took a lot of time to find a suitable place, and it also took everyone to move, it was too troublesome, and the most important thing was that the emperor was not short of money, and the loss of a tree and a gazebo was nothing, and when the big tree and the gazebo were blown to pieces, it would create a shocking feeling that made people gasp.

Things have developed to this point, and many ministers who fiercely attacked Ang Lee also felt that it was very likely that the matter was true, after all, Ang Lee had already prepared for this, and the big words were clear, if the facts were not established, Ang Lee would be embarrassed.

Of course, until the last moment, many ministers will not give up, and they even fantasize that after Ang Lee's experiment failed, they are looking for all kinds of bizarre reasons to postpone the experiment, and they are also brewing in their hearts, once Ang Lee's experiment fails, how to further chase and fight, so as not to give Ang Lee any respite.

"Look, the jar is already there, and the experiment is about to begin."

"Whether it's true or not, it soon became clear."

"It's so close, if it's true, it must be very loud."

"Be careful and cover your ears!"

The ministers saw that Zhao Liu had placed the wine jar between the big tree and the pavilion, and immediately began to talk in a whisper.

Seeing that Zhao Liu had already started to light the fire, Li An walked up to Li Longji's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's about to start, it's too loud, Your Majesty should cover your ears!" Wechen stood in front to protect His Majesty. ”

Li Longji smiled at the corner of his mouth: "How can I be a coward, if I cover my ears, how can I hear the thunder released by Li Shilang." ”

However, Li Longji did not object to Li An standing in front of him, the courtiers were loyal, and he was very happy, anyway, as long as it didn't affect him to watch the performance.

"Run, why did you run, and you still ran so fast."

"In this way, this jar must be very powerful."

Seeing that Zhao Liu was running like a rabbit, the ministers made a joke.

"Boom...... Click......"

With a violent explosion, the hundred-year-old tree was cut off, and the sound of the trunk breaking was extremely long, as if it was very unwilling, and the fate of the tree, the pavilion next to it was also swept away by the violent explosion, and the broken stones were thrown in all directions.

At the same time, a thick black smoke rose from the place of the explosion and glanced into the air. The scene was spectacular.

Li Longji and the ministers looked into the distance with incredible eyes, and at the moment when the explosion began, everyone was terrified, of course, because they were all frightened, no one noticed the reaction of others, after all, their energy was attracted by the explosion.

After a long period of relief, Li Longji and the ministers gradually regained their senses, and completely believed what Li An said, the three thunderstorms in the south of the city yesterday were indeed released by Li An himself, and they had nothing to do with the curse.

At this moment, the faces of those ministers who had used the curse to attack Li An became extremely ugly, of course, compared to the loss, they were even more shocked, how could Li An create a thunderstorm by himself, and the destructive power was still so huge, so big that it could be described as terrifying.

"Li Shilang, the wine jar was blown up once just now, and it won't be blown up again!"

Li Longji asked.

"Your Majesty, the wine jar has been blown to ashes, of course it won't be blown up again, Your Majesty can go and check the effect."

Li An felt that Li Longji's problem was very ridiculous, how could the black powder that had been blown up once be blown up a second time, of course, this also reflected the huge power of black powder from the side, which made Li Longji feel extremely shocked, so that he became too cautious.

Under the leadership of Li An, Li Longji and all the ministers walked to the small garden that had just been blown up to observe the destructive power of black powder up close.

"Wow! The power is really big enough, the hundred-year-old tree was broken at the waist, the stone pavilion was actually shattered, and there was such a big pit. ”

"If something of such power were to explode in the crowd, wouldn't it kill or injure a lot of people."

"This power is still too terrifying, how could Li Shilang create such a thing, it's terrifying."

The ministers all gasped when they walked to the place where the explosion occurred, and up close, they could experience the tremendous destructive force of the explosion.

Li Longji was shocked for a long time and couldn't speak, paused for a while, picked up a broken stone, and asked, "Li Shilang, what is in your wine jar, and why is there such a big destructive power?" ”

"Your Majesty, it contains the black powder newly developed by Weichen, the structure is more complicated, but the cost is not very high."

Li An is talking nonsense with his eyes open, the three simple ingredients were said to be very complicated by Li An's understatement, of course, this is to prevent leakage, such a powerful black powder naturally cannot be spread, otherwise, once it is mastered by foreign races, it will seriously threaten the safety of Datang, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Longji threw away the broken stone that he had been touching for a long time, looked at Li An, and asked, "Li Shilang deliberately brought black powder to show its power this morning, and he must have thought about the use of this black powder!" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been to various mines, and found that miners use simple tools such as hammers and drills for mining, which are not only laborious, but also time-consuming, and the production efficiency is extremely low.

Li An opened his mouth to paint a very beautiful blueprint, as if the Tang Empire had become more powerful and prosperous under the promotion of black powder.

"Your Majesty, if the output of copper and iron can really increase tenfold, my Datang will not only no longer be lacking, but also will have a great surplus, all the people will be able to use iron farming tools, my Datang will be more prosperous and powerful, and Siyi will also be happy and convinced, and will always surrender to my Datang."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Li Shilang has made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty, and he should be rewarded."

Some originally neutral officials expressed their support for Li An, and their expressions were quite excited, after all, after seeing the power of black powder, they all understood the great effect of black powder, and they were really happy for the Tang Empire.

"The power of black powder is so huge, if it is only used to mine ore, wouldn't it be too wasteful, it can be used to hit the enemy, at present, the catapults in the army are throwing stones and fireballs, the power is not great, the threat to the enemy is relatively small, if the ignited black powder wine jar is thrown over, don't you kill a large number of enemies, so, look at the world, who else dares to be the enemy of my Datang."

A military general who had led the army even discovered the application of black powder for military affairs, and his face was full of surprise.

Li An smiled and added: "Black powder can indeed be used in the military, but catapults can only project a few hundred steps, in the future, I am sure to make a weapon that can launch black powder thousands of steps away and strike at the enemy at a long distance." ”

"What, it can fire thousands of steps, Li Shilang is serious, if you can really make a weapon that can fire black powder thousands of steps, my Tang Dynasty will dominate the world, and Tubo, Turkic, and Tibetan are all not a problem."

"Since Li Shilang can invent black powder, then it must still be possible to invent a weapon that can throw thousands of steps, as long as Li Shilang says it, the lower officials will believe it."

"Li Shilang is really my lucky star of the Tang Dynasty! In the future, I must invent more useful things for my Datang! ”

All the ministers were very excited, after all, the effect of the invention of black powder this time was too great, and it had a subversive effect, far stronger than the ordinary items such as bean sprouts and rocking chairs invented before.

Li Longji and many ministers could not calm down for a long time, and it took them a long time to calm down the fluctuations in their hearts.

In addition, after calming down, the biggest question that everyone has is how Ang Lee invented black powder, which is no more than a rocking chair, a wheelchair and bean sprouts, which makes it easy for people to pat their heads and sigh, 'Why didn't I think of it?' After all, black powder is too amazing to think about.

"Dare to ask Li Shilang, this black powder is so magical, how did you come up with it?"

A minister asked suspiciously, obviously, in his opinion, Li An's sudden invention of black powder was a bit abnormal, and there was a feeling of almost being a demon, far beyond his cognition.

Of course, Li An will not tell the truth, but changed the topic and said: "Many things in the world are invented by people, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, so that there are medicinal materials to heal people, Cangjie created words, so, there are many things that can be handed down, how do you think Shennong and Cangjie, the two sages, thought of tasting a hundred herbs and creating words?" ”

"Oh, in this way, Li Shilang compares himself to the two saints of Shennong and Cangjie!"

A minister exclaimed with malicious intentions.

Li An waved his hand and said: "Xia Guan doesn't dare to compare himself with a saint, but he does feel that he is a little clever, and he has learned a lot of strange things from the deceased Ah Weng, as for how to think of black powder, he can only tell His Majesty alone, so as not to leak the formula and cause immeasurable losses to Datang." ”

"Li Shilang is worried that once the secret recipe for preparing black powder is mastered by Fanbang, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Yes, yes, black powder is extremely powerful, and it must not be mastered by Fanbang, it can only be unique to my Datang, not only that, but how to use black powder in the future must also be strictly controlled, otherwise, if people with ulterior motives are allowed to hoard black powder, there may be some chaos."

"Your Majesty, there are many mines in the Tang Dynasty, and there is a great demand for black powder, in order not to leak secrets, the imperial court should set up a special black powder workshop, and all black powder can only be produced from the workshop."

In terms of controlling black powder, the ministers quickly reached an agreement, this thing is too powerful, naturally it cannot be taken lightly.

At this point, the theory of heaven's retribution was naturally self-defeating, and many ministers had no basis for opposing the implementation of the two-tax law, and the implementation of the two-tax law seemed to become more and more natural.

"Your Majesty, the construction of the black powder workshop needs silver taels, and there will be more places where the imperial court needs money in the future, Weichen thinks that the two tax laws should be implemented immediately to appropriately increase the financial resources of the imperial court."

"Your Majesty, last year's two wars, Hebei snow disaster, the court's financial resources have been insufficient, if it weren't for Li Shilang to go to the land of the two wars in person and calm down the chaos, I'm afraid, the two plans are no longer owned by my Tang Dynasty, this matter should be taken as a warning, the court's financial resources must not be broken, and Weichen also supports the two tax laws. The land tax shall be paid according to the amount of land owned. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is the fairest to pay the land tax according to the amount of land he owns, and those who have more land and those who have less land should pay less, and the two tax laws should be implemented to benefit the finances of the imperial court."

"Your Majesty, Weichen seconded the proposal."

Several ministers representing the interests of Fan Yang Lu's family all expressed their support for the two tax laws, and these old foxes did not say anything when they first came to the court, but at this moment, seeing that Li An was not only not defeated, but also invented black powder that was enough to flaunt the annals of history, they had to honestly express their support for the two tax laws.

The Lu family's sudden statement caught the other families off guard, and they all looked at the Lu family's people there in surprise, and looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to do.

"Right Minister, what do you think?"

Li Longji looked at Li Linfu again, wanting to hear the opinion of the head of the group.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the land annexation can no longer be curbed, and the two tax laws should be implemented to benefit the court's finances."

Li Linfu had already learned of Li Longji's thoughts, so he naturally followed Li Longji's intentions completely, and besides, Li An had the upper hand at the moment, and with the support of the Lu family, it was time for him to express his position.

"Zuo Xiang, do you have anything to say?"

Li Longji knew that Li Shizhi and Li An had been relatively close recently, so he was sure that Li Shizhi would definitely support the two tax laws, and he needed this kind of support most now to completely finalize the two tax laws.
