Chapter Seventy-Nine: Running back to Chang'an to set off fireworks
Now Wang Haoran doesn't have to have many scruples when he returns to Chang'an, so he still has the name of a quasi-horse on his head. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And it's been so long, no matter how much the people of Chang'an hold grudges, they won't still be pointing fingers there.
The next day after Wang Haoran returned to Chang'an, he took Chen Jun to the palace, but he didn't dare to bring the fireworks in, so he could only put them in the guards first, and then let him call someone to pick them up after getting Li Shimin's permission.
Li Tai, the groom, was not as busy as later generations, he led Wang Haoran to meet the Emperor Li Yuan first, and when the wedding banquet began, he personally arranged a seat for Wang Haoran, and arranged Chen Jun to sit behind Wang Haoran, otherwise Chen Jun was not qualified to sit here.
Li Shimin had long heard Li Tai say that Wang Haoran had brought a gift called a flower cannon, which needed to be lit and detonated at night. In fact, he had already known about this from the secret agent's secret recital, and when he was glad that Wang Haoran was his own person, he was also very interested in the things that sounded like thunder and sparks were so brilliant that the night was like day. Halfway through the banquet, Li Shimin looked around but didn't see Wang Haoran, so he asked Li Tai, and only after Li Tai pointed out that he saw Wang Haoran sitting in the corner.
"Haoran."
Wang Haoran saw Li Shimin calling for him, and hurriedly got up and responded: "The grass people are here." ”
"I heard from Tyre that the gift you sent is ingenious, and it needs to be ignited at night to watch, so let's take a look at it now."
"Back to Your Majesty, the flower cannon is still placed in the guard, and Your Majesty needs to send someone to bring it."
After the miscellaneous eunuchs moved the firecrackers, Wang Haoran asked them to put the firecrackers in an open place, and told Li Shimin in advance what the situation was like when the firecrackers were set off, and then asked Chen Jun to light the fire.
With the explosion of fireworks, the brilliant fireworks lit up the night sky, and the people of Chang'an City were also attracted by the sound of the explosion.
"Scared me, I thought it was thunder!"
"I have long heard that the fourth prince got married today, but I didn't expect to make such a big move."
"What's that? It's spectacular! ”
"Strange man! The iron flowers have hit the sky! ”
"Here we go again! Not again! ”
Li Shimin had already guessed that the principle was the same as the firing principle of the cannon given to him by Wang Haoran, but he didn't expect that this technology could bring such a big festive scene when used in viewing. Seeing that the civil and military officials were watching the fireworks with great interest, he didn't interrupt, called Wang Haoran to his side and said, "Haoran, this fireworks are using gunpowder, right?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Forget about the two flower cannons you brought this time, don't make this thing in the future, if the technology is obtained by other countries, the threat to Datang will be great."
"Yes!" Wang Haoran looked depressed, why is Li Shimin, who is wise and martial in history, afraid of this?
"However, this firecracker is very beautiful, you give me the production process, and if there is anything happy in the future, I can let people make some for everyone to watch."
"Yes!"
"What do you look like? Not happy? I'm willing to even intervene in the copper mine for you, and you're still bothering with me? Li Shimin said disdainfully.
"Your Majesty misunderstood, the grass people just thought of a cannon similar to this cannon, and the size is also carried, so it is perfect for transmitting signals."
"Then you can paint it and present it together with the fireworks making process." Li Shimin thought that Wang Haoran was just making a thing that was launched into a high-altitude explosion, although he thought it was a good method, but he didn't pay much attention to it, "By the way, when do you plan to return to the capital to live for a long time?" Tai'er used to talk about going to Puzhou to find you, but I set up a research institute for him before he quieted down. ”
"It's going to be a few more years."
Why is that? It's been so long, and you're still worried that the people still hate you? Li Shimin asked himself and replied, "Don't worry, the people of the Tang Dynasty are simple-hearted, how can they be so upset with your child?" ”
"Your Majesty, the grass people want to come back when they can clear their infamy."
"Why are you so persistent?" Li Shimin sighed, thinking to himself, if the research institute can't keep Li Tai's heart in the capital, then even if it is detained, Wang Haoran will be escorted back to the capital to stay alive.
Li Shimin continued: "You made a harvester and a threshing machine before, and I wanted to reward you, but I thought that you were far away in Puzhou, so I vetoed this idea. I want to wait for you to return to Chang'an and give you a grand reward, so that you can wash away the infamy on you, what do you think? ”
"The grass people thank Your Majesty for their love, but the comparison is just to cover up the infamy, what the grass people want is to fundamentally wash away the infamy on their bodies."
"Now that you have a way, I don't have to worry about it."
Wang Haoran's miscellaneous rice has been researched and made some achievements, Li Shimin really doesn't have to worry about it, then, the reward should be issued in advance, right? It's a pity that Wang Haoran has been looking forward to it for so long in vain, and Li Shimin seems to have completely forgotten about it, and he doesn't mention the award.
After the banquet ended, Li Tai did not come to see Wang Haoran, and Wang Haoran also understood that Li Tai had something to do
Seeing that Li Tai was able to enjoy the joy of fish and water early, Wang Haoran suddenly felt that his anger was a little bigger, next year! Endure it for another year!
Chen Jun's house is outside the city, and now it is late at night, Wang Haoran asked Chen Jun to stay at Wang's house for a while, and by the way, he helped him draw the process drawings of signal flares and fireworks, and went to bed early after drawing early, and went to visit Xie's house tomorrow.
The next day, Wang Haoran deliberately took Xiaoyu to Xie's house and instructed Xiaoyu to choose an opportunity to ask Xie Qingyou to go shopping.
When the brother and sister arrived at Xie's house, Xiaoyu ran to find Xie Qingyou, and after Wang Haoran and Xie Shengxing greeted him, he mentioned the matter of the new city: "Uncle Xie, do you know about the little nephew's construction of a new city in Puzhou?" ”
"I've heard your dad say this, what's the matter? But what good things make the old man stained? Although Xie Shengxing knew that Xincheng was a good place, he still couldn't bear to go to Wang Haoran to ask for some sweetness, just to see if Wang Haoran could still remember his Xie family after becoming a quasi-concubine, if not, anyway, his daughter has not yet married, and it is still too late to regret the marriage.
"There are good things, and the little nephew will naturally not forget Uncle Xie. It's just that the little nephew doesn't know how Uncle Xie wants to develop there, so he only reserves two buildings for you, but the location is definitely the best. ”
"Haha, the virtuous nephew can remember the old man, and the old man is very pleased. Another day, the old man will go to the new city to have a look and decide what business to do. How's the construction going over there now? Xie Shengxing unceremoniously accepted Wang Haoran's kindness.
"The key areas are already in operation, and those investors have tasted the sweetness and have proposed to increase investment, and it is estimated that the key areas will be completed this year. At the time of the previous financing, the little nephew had just arrived in Puzhou, and he failed to let Uncle Xie join, so he asked Uncle Xie to forgive him. ”
"I don't blame you for this, every place has connections that belong to this place, such a big project, even if they can't eat it, it won't be so easy for an outsider like the old man to join."
"Thank you Uncle for your understanding!"
Soon, Xiaoyu walked out with Xie Qingyou, who was shy, and was as affectionate as a sister.
"Uncle Xie, can my niece and Sister Qingyou go shopping?" Xiao Yu asked Xie Shengxing.
How could Xie Shengxing not guess the minds of these young people? This is all left over from his youth, but he doesn't pierce it, and nods in agreement. After Xiaoyu and Xie Qingyou left, Xie Shengxing chatted with Wang Haoran for a while, and saw that Wang Haoran was talking absent-mindedly, but he couldn't pull his face to say goodbye, so he said: "The old man is a little tired, go back and make up for sleep." Virtuous nephew, let's take care of yourself first, and the old man will have two more drinks with you at noon. ”
"Oh, no, Uncle Xie, let's go rest, the little nephew will leave first." Wang Haoran was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly thanked Shengxing for his understanding.
Wang Haoran walked out of Xie's house and looked back, but he couldn't see anyone from the Xie family anymore, so he called a rickshaw and rushed to the place where he had made an appointment with Xiaoyu.
"Prince Wang, where are you going?" The coachmen in the capital basically know Wang Haoran.
"Department stores." Department stores are well-known in the capital, and Wang Haoran is not worried that the driver will not know where it is. Not to mention the coachman, even the nobles on the East Market side are familiar with the West Market Department Store.
