Chapter 303

"Since this thing called gunpowder has such ferocious power. So can we find some people to figure out how to make this thing ourselves? If we can also do it, then Li Wenyuan's threat to us will naturally be no problem. After Li Yuan saw the remarkable experimental results in front of him, he also lowered his head and muttered for a while before saying to Li Jiancheng.

"Father. The child had already imagined this. It's just that when I got this pack, I immediately found someone to find a way to imitate it myself. However, unfortunately, because the specific raw materials and preparation ratios are not known, the imitation work has not made progress so far. So far, the only clue we have is that it took a lot of money to learn from the people of the Western Regions who participated in the production of gunpowder that their recipe was inspired by the saltpeter, pine resin, pig intestine, and realgar in Ge Hong's book Bao Puzi's inner chapter, which will be fried at a certain temperature. However, the Jin Dynasty itself was an era in which everyone thought about alchemy and cultivating immortals. Therefore, their accounts are often preferable to those who hide and do not tell them. As for the original part of the inner chapter of Baopuzi, Li Wenyuan has taken it in his hands, and the child spent nearly a month collecting it from the folk and only got half of the copy, and the records of this place have also been cut off, and there is no other specific record, and there is no specific description of what proportion and at what kind of heat will the explosion occur, so if we want to imitate this gunpowder ourselves, it is still more difficult, at least it is difficult to see results in the short term. After Li Jiancheng listened to Li Yuan's words, he shook his head helplessly and said to Li Yuan.

"Isn't there a way for us to know about this advanced technology? Then if that's the case, we will simply surrender to Li Wenyuan tomorrow, anyway, we can't fight, so why should we be scared here all day long? After Li Yuan listened to Li Jiancheng's words, he said with some annoyance.

"Father, you are angry for a while, what the child said before is that it is very difficult for us to imitate this technology, but it does not mean that we have no way to get this technology." Li Jiancheng saw that his father was a little excited, so he comforted his father and said.

"So you said that the matter has come to this, what should we do? If you really have a clever plan to solve this matter, you should quickly tell your father about it, and Hugh will sell these things again. After Li Yuan listened to Li Jiancheng's words, his frowning brows eased slightly, so he asked Li Jiancheng in front of him.

"Maybe you also know that there is no problem in the world that money can't solve, and this sentence is also common to Li Wenyuan. He is now engaged in the construction of his own territory, and the tax money collected every month is directly invested in the construction of the next month. However, he still needs to expand and train his army, so the economic situation in his current territory is not very optimistic. So I have a bold idea: we will send students to Li Wenyuan's territory to learn this technology as international students out of our own pockets, and when they return from their studies, we will naturally be able to master this technology in our own hands. Of course, this is just an idea of the child, and so far he has not formally contacted Li Wenyuan to discuss this matter. In the current situation of helplessness, this method is also an effective way. Li Jiancheng listened to Li Yuan's inquiry, then frowned and thought for a moment before telling Li Yuan a plan he had been planning for a long time. He also knew that his father had always been suspicious, so he wanted to tell him as much as possible what he said in a way that Li Yuan would not easily deviate from.

Sure enough, after listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Li Yuan stood up and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back for a long time, and then sighed faintly and said, "Hey." This kind of thing is easier said than done. Although gunpowder is very popular in Li Wenyuan's army, it can be regarded as a killer weapon in his hands after all. You can even save your life in some special circumstances, and even save the situation, or even reverse the defeat. Would he have given us such a crucial thing so easily? ”

Naturally, there is no need to worry about this, out of curiosity, the child has investigated the political situation in Li Wenyuan's territory in detail. Although on the surface, Li Wenyuan is the chief helmsman of the Western Regions, and he is in charge of the decision-making power of all matters in the Western Regions. However, the ministers next to him can all influence Li Wenyuan's judgment, and it can be said that everyone is a minister, and they can express their views to Li Wenyuan. Therefore, although Li Wenyuan has the real name of an emperor in the Western Regions, he does not have the real power of an emperor. As long as we buy off those courtiers, even if Li Wenyuan wants to refuse this matter, he will be the first to face pressure from within. After Li Jiancheng listened to his father's words, he said with a smile.

"Oh? It seems that although Li Wenyuan has infinite scenery on the surface, his army is invincible, and he still holds a puppet emperor in his hand to command the world. But in fact, he himself is just a puppet who has been pushed in front of many families as a shield. If things do go the way you expect, that's great. For us, it is a matter of only good and no harm, so let's do it, this matter will be fully entrusted to you, and you can go to Li Wenyuan to talk about this matter. Come back to me when you finally need to make a decision. After Li Yuan finished speaking, he wanted to order his subordinates to send Li Jiancheng out of the house, but Li Jiancheng hurriedly grabbed his father's robe sleeve and said:

"Father, the child has one more thing to ask for. To do this, the child needs the help of your father. ”

After Li Yuan heard Li Jiancheng's words, he was very curious, so he said, "Do you need my help to do this?" It's kind of interesting, so you might as well talk about it and let the father hear what it's like. But whatever I can do for the Father, I will do it for you. ”

"When I say this, I'm afraid my father won't be so happy." Li Jiancheng shook his head with a wry smile, and then continued: "What the child needs is nothing else, just a handwritten letter from your father, a handwritten letter to Li Wenyuan. ”

"Isn't it just a handwritten letter, if it's not in the way, I'll write it to you for the father." After Li Yuan heard this, he said a little unconcernedly, and then he didn't call anyone in, he directly studied the ink himself, and then picked up the brush on the table and the pen on the mountain, just to start writing the letter to Li Wenyuan on the paper, but then Li Jiancheng's words made Li Yuan directly stunned on the spot:

"This letter should be written by my father to His Royal Highness King Tang in the capacity of Tang Guogong."
