Chapter 67: The Black Cauldron Gets Used to Carrying It on His Back
Li Shimin called the explosives that the two of them got out "Heavenly Thunder", which means that the thunder god gave the Tang Dynasty a sharp weapon of the army, specially set aside a place in the palace to come out, transferred heavy troops, and transferred some of the royal guards who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty and a group of old immortal worshippers, guarded the area tightly, and let his son do experiments inside. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
White finally comes out of it. Li Shimin's attitude is very clear, now the "heavenly thunder" belongs to their Li family, whoever stretches out his hand will stomp on whomever it is, and Bai Qi very consciously raised his hand and jumped out of it.
The explosives experiment with no protective measures at all will kill people at every turn, so white chess will not be as stupid as Li Tai, who is elated over there.
When a pound of explosives exploded, the whole Chang'an was like hearing thunder on a dry day, and the whole city jumped, and many people who were eating breakfast were so frightened that they threw their breakfast or bowls to the ground, turned around and ran!
When they saw a thick cloud of smoke rising from the palace, people began to talk about it again, and all kinds of speculation and rumors spread around.
Cheng Yanjin hurriedly ran into the palace with the right guard, and the ministers of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other ministries also hurriedly entered the palace.
Lu Zheng stood in front of the door of the main hall, stopped all the ministers who came here, and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty asked me to explain to you here, just now the playful Meridian Marquis accidentally exploded a thunderbolt in the palace of King Wei, no one has an accident, you don't have to worry too much!" Your Majesty is reprimanding the Meridian Marquis inside, so you can go back first. ”
Sky Thunder? What is this? Everyone was itchy and asked Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng just smiled and didn't say.
Cheng Yanjin and the other generals walked away with a smile, although they didn't know what the "Heavenly Thunder" was, but in terms of the power of the explosion, His Majesty would definitely use it on the battlefield. And the eldest grandson Wuji also retreated with a group of Wenchen, and went out of the Suzaku Gate, and many Wenchen said goodbye to each other, and their faces were not very good.
The youngest prince of the Tang Dynasty, Ziwu Hou, because of his stubbornness, acted recklessly in the palace, disturbed His Majesty and the Empress, and was fined 30 rods by His Majesty in front of the Liangyi Palace, deducted one year's salary, and fined another month of confinement, and ordered him to go home and reflect on it!
The gossip of the people of Chang'an City finally found an outlet. It turned out to be the Meridian Marquis, hmph, he has always been pampered and arrogant, and he is stubborn by nature, he is the kind of bad boy who goes up to the top and uncovers the tiles without fighting for a day, and this time he finally angered His Majesty! He was beaten with thirty rods, and looking at his small body, he lay down for ten days and half a month. The people of Chang'an are running around to celebrate, and they are preaching the troubles of the Meridian Marquis everywhere.
Bai Qi sat in the carriage, lifted the corner of the curtain, listened carefully to the evaluation of Chang'an people about himself, turned his head and asked Li Tai, who was eating apricot blossom cake in the corner: "Am I so bad?" ”
Li Tai put down the pastry in his hand, tilted his head sideways and thought: "Actually, it's not counted, it's just a little bad." In the words of his father, the Meridian Marquis is a devil with two horns on his head. Well, what is the devil called? ”
Bai Qi glanced at Li Tai in vain, not wanting to answer this sane guy, and exhaled cold air while touching his buttocks.
"You've got a cushion a few feet high on your buttocks, and the force of the stick is long gone!" Li Tai squinted at the white chess, thinking about the screams of the white chess at that time, and the way he looked after shouting to eat a bite of pastry, his tone was full of disdain.
The carriage whirled along, and the two men were silent and did not speak. The clever Li Tai was too lazy to talk to the fool of white chess, so he took all kinds of pastries from the kitchen and got into the car. White, on the other hand, lowered his head and thought about something.
"Qingque, every step of the manufacturing and storage of explosives must be done in detail, and safety measures must be put in place. As you can see, once this thing goes wrong, it's earth-shattering! ”
"You're not going to get involved?" The air in the carriage was filled with the smell of pastries, and Li Tai opened the curtain to let in the fresh air outside.
Bai Qi shook his head, pillowed his head on the carriage, and said comfortably: "The explosives can only be in the hands of His Majesty, and no one can touch it, understand?" ”
Li Tai, a teenage little fat man, nodded, took a bite of the osmanthus cake fiercely, and showed an intoxicated look on his face, well, it's really delicious!
White is back to the days when he sleeps until he wakes up naturally, and of course, the days of counting money and cramping his hands every day are very far away from him, at least white can't see it now.
The bazaar outside Hou's Mansion is getting bigger and bigger, and it has expanded by half last month, adding more than a dozen shops, and this month it is not enough. The magistrate of Meridian County has repeatedly asked White to expand the streets and allow more people to enter the bazaar to buy and sell.
The Ministry of Household has set up an agency at the entrance of the bazaar to collect taxes on the transactions of the bazaar shops.
Chang'an's East and West markets have recently added two large stores, much like the later farmers' street, where merchants specialize in buying fresh food and vegetables from nearby towns and villages in Chang'an, and then sell them at a real price. Every day, before the city gate is opened, a group of farmers are already waiting outside the city gate with fresh home-grown products, and then sell them to convenience stores.
"Your Majesty, this is the county order of Ziwu County, according to the newly implemented report format, the tax statement handed in this March. Also, this is the tax statement of the convenience store in the East and West City for this month. Fang Xuanling handed the two tax statements to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at it carefully, gasped, and asked Fang Xuanling: "Is it credible?" ”
"We have officials from the household department on site every day to supervise every transaction record, and there will be no fakes, Your Majesty!"
The report shows that the tax revenue of Ziwu County is mainly concentrated in Taoyuan Village, and in the past three months, Taoyuan Village's tax revenue has shown an astonishing multiple increase, and its base has become larger and larger. And the convenience stores opened in the East and West Markets even reach half of the tax revenue of some small towns in Datang in a day!
Li Shimin couldn't help but think of what Bai Qi said to him last time: The Chang'an people of the Tang Dynasty are actually very rich!
Li Shimin returned to the Lizheng Hall with contemplation, and saw that the eldest grandson was holding an account book, counting seriously, and was very happy, so he leaned up, hugged the eldest grandson, and said in her ear: "Why is Guanyin so excited? ”
The eldest grandson turned around, handed the account book in his hand to Li Shimin, and said happily: "Your Majesty, the 1,000 yuan invested in the convenience store by the inner government has been earned back this month, and there are more than 200 yuan in dividends!" Nowadays, there is more and more spare money in the inner house! ”
"The convenience store was made by that kid from White? Do we have a stake in it? Li Shimin blinked.
"yes!" The eldest grandson said happily, turned his head and began to calculate the ledger again.
Looking at the eldest grandson who looked like a money fan, Li Shimin's mood suddenly improved. looked seriously at his wife, who had suffered for so many years, and suddenly felt a drum of restlessness in his heart, picked up his eldest grandson, and walked behind the curtain with a step.
