Everyone's eyes were crossed with horror, Zhang Chao opened his mouth, his face was full of bitterness and wanted to say something, but in the face of the emperor's fanatical eyes, he didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, Yuwen Shihong threw out another earth-shattering thunder.

"So, shopkeeper, would you like to be my imperial merchant?"

The person in charge was suddenly stunned by Yuwen Shihong's words, looked at him in shock, and kept swallowing saliva.

"Emperor, Imperial Merchant?!"

He thought dizzily, what is going on today, is this the green smoke coming from the ancestors?

"Would you like to?"

Yuwen Shihong asked again.

The steward was suddenly excited, and immediately kowtowed, and shouted excitedly in his mouth.

"Yes! The little ones are willing! In the future, wherever the emperor has orders, the small ones will obey! ”

"Good!"

Yuwen Shihong nodded with satisfaction, and held the hand in charge and pulled it up.

"With your assistance in the future, I will be much more settled in my heart! Now that the matter has been decided, the person in charge of the matter will immediately summon the experienced miners in the name of the Emperor Merchant, and start today! ”

The steward's moved tears welled up, and he bowed his head!

"Thank you for your trust! Little obedience! ”

Yuwen Shihong's commotion made Zhang Chao stunned.

What a trick empty glove white wolf, I'm afraid that this person in charge doesn't know that he is being fooled and lame, right?

Zhang Chao swallowed his saliva, and once again made up his mind in his heart that he would not offend the emperor in the future, otherwise he would have to count the money for him even if he died!

After solving the problem of saltpeter raw materials, Yuwen Shihong breathed a sigh of relief, the rest of the sulfur and charcoal were easier to find, and the rest was to train a group of trustworthy craftsmen to start making black powder in large quantities.

Of course, the process of blending must be done by Yuwen Shihong himself, and the processing can be handed over to others.

He made up his mind, at least until the Northern Zhou became stronger, the formula of this black powder must not be leaked!

As night fell, Yuwen Shihong took people back to the dormitory.

Yang Qianxue had been waiting for him for a long time, and when she saw him coming back, she immediately stepped forward to help him loosen his clothes, with a little complaint in her soft eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have been waiting for you in the palace for a long time, and you have been so busy these days that the concubines have always been unable to see your shadow!"

Yuwen Shihong hurriedly smiled and hugged Yang Qianxue, and coaxed in his mouth.

"Xue'er, I've been busy with political affairs these days, so I'm not free to accompany Xue'er immediately!"

Yang Qianxue lowered her little head shyly and hammered his chest with her bare hands.

"Your Majesty, you are so bad!"

How the two of them played around and fought three hundred rounds in bed, and they didn't mention it.

Early the next morning, Yuwen Shihong woke up from his dark and sweet sleep, pushed open the window refreshedly, and absorbed the first wisp of purple qi in the morning to cultivate internal strength.

The energetic went to the early court, and then discussed with the courtiers all the affairs of war preparedness and people's livelihood, and gave a solution to the solution, and then dispersed the court.

Immediately after, Yuwen Shihong once again plunged into the development process of his own fire system.

In addition to blacksmiths, Yuwen Shihong also recruited a number of craftsmen who were skilled in various strange and ingenious skills, and specially created a creation department to encourage craftsmen to improve this type of shell on the basis of fire system.

He knew that although he had a superficial understanding of these things in his previous life, he could barely make a rough idea, but the more professional things were far inferior to these professionals.

Instead of racking their brains to ponder, it is better to choose to throw this matter to these ancients and let them ponder innovation.

As a result, the Ouchi Imperial Palace has been particularly lively these days, and a steady stream of saltpeter and other raw materials have been secretly transported from the outside world.

After entering the warehouse, Yuwen Shihong never faked his hands, and just in case, he also purchased some raw materials that confused the public.

As for Wang Mao and Liang Shiyan, the eldest Sun Hong and other generals in the court, they have long been extremely curious, and they have speculated in their hearts about what the emperor has been doing these days? It's still so mysterious that people don't know about it!

Two days later, Yuwen Shihong went down to the morning court and did not rush to leave.

Liang Shiyan and the others secretly had a premonition in their hearts, usually at this time, the emperor had already run away in a hurry, but today is different from the past, there must be variables, so they all dragged it out.

When all the courtiers dispersed, only Wang Mao, Liang Shiyan, Changsun Hong and other ministers were left in the main hall.

Yuwen Shihong smiled hehehe.

"Guys, would you like to go and see my secret weapon together?"

Liang Shiyan and the others suddenly showed joy on their faces.

Sure enough, that's it!

Subsequently, a group of civil ministers and military generals followed Yuwen Shihong to the inner palace.

Qin Kun, Wei Zhong, Yang Qianxue and others also got the news, and they rushed over from the palace, and even Yuwen Hao outside the palace also received the news from Yuwen Shihong and rushed to the palace.

In a short time, a huge open space in front of the weapons department was already full of people, including guards and hundreds of officials, and everyone who got the news rushed over to see the excitement.

Yuwen Shihong sent someone to move out of the fire system, took out a few ammunition and put it aside, and began to debug.

After tossing for a while, he carefully loaded the ammunition into the fire system, licked his lips and waved to the crowd.

"Everyone, hurry up and get out of the open space in front of you, don't blame me if you get injured later!"

Everyone became even more curious, and looked at the strange thing in Yuwen Shihong's hand rarely, and their hearts were itching like a little ant crawling.

What the hell is this?

Yuwen Shihong didn't grin until everyone had retreated about twenty or thirty meters.

"See!"

He is also a little excited in his heart, it feels like he has worked hard to polish a high-quality drama in his previous life, just waiting to release it to the audience, and the sense of accomplishment is incomparable!

Yuwen Shihong pulled the trigger sharply, and the fire tong stepped back on his shoulder, with all these hours of exercise, his body could barely withstand the recoil, and he didn't move.

The ammunition in the fire system flew out with a bang, flying hundreds of meters away in a row, and then a small hall was blown into ashes with a bang!

Bang boom!

After the loud noise, a mushroom cloud slowly rose, and the strong wind brought by the explosion spread violently in all directions, and the aftermath blew everyone's hair into a mess!

At this time, looking back, everyone had grown their mouths, staring at the mushroom cloud a hundred meters away, it was really messy in the wind!

"This, this, this ......"

Liang Shiyan was in his fifties, his face was flushed, he was trembling as if he had Parkinson's, and his fingers pointed at the ruins in the distance, as if he was stupid!
