Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Ever since King Ji Li Shen gave the order, Wang Xuance began to send people to keep an eye on the Jin Palace.

It has been two months since Yuanzheng, and there has been no movement in the Jin Palace. It was only in the past few days that it started to take action.

"Well, just send someone to follow. Maybe it's normal business activities, and the steward. I heard that King Jin has a villa in Luoyang, which Aye gave him earlier."

Li Shen nodded.

"Then my lord, I will take my leave." Wang Xuance stood up and saluted.

"By the way, prepare yourself. You will go to Qinghai Road with me at the end of the month, but you won't stay there for too long this time.

I can’t help but go there. There are still some things to arrange, and I have to ask Zhou Daowu to come back.

My sister will blame me for not coming back after so long.

But I will wait until Xue Rengui comes back before leaving. He should be almost in the north by this time. "

Wang Xuance nodded after hearing this. He actually had nothing to prepare, he just wanted to inform his family.

After Wang Xuance left, Li Shen returned to the back house, when Shitou ran over.

"Your Majesty, what you asked to be done has been done."

"Really? When was it made?" Li Shen asked excitedly.

"Go back to your lord, they just made it today, and they are going to go out of the city to do experiments on the Pianhe River." Shitou replied.

"Are you sure this time is better than before? Don't be as loud as before." Li Shen asked suspiciously.

"This... I heard what they said. I don't know the details." Shitou was still a little unsure after being asked this question by Li Shen.

"Okay, let's go out of the city together." Li Shen nodded.

The tens of thousands of acres of land near Piaohe Manor are the private property of Prince Ji's Mansion, and outsiders are not allowed to approach it.

The guard battalion dispatched a thousand guards to patrol back and forth ten miles away from the manor.

There were several people standing where Li Shen often fished.

Li Shen and Shitou stood in the back, and the people in front held an iron ball in their hands.

"Let's begin." Li Shen ordered.

I saw a few people digging a hole in the ground, and then several people worked together to lift the stone slabs aside and put them up.

Put five bluestones in a row.

"Your Majesty is ready." One person turned around and said.

Li Shen nodded and ran out with the stone flying about twenty feet away and hid behind a big stone. He took out his binoculars and waved to that side.

After a while, I saw several people running over quickly. Before long, I heard a loud "boom".

Stones exploded and flew across the stone slab, and smoke and dust flew everywhere.

The servants waited for the smoke to clear and ran over to check. Li Shen walked over from behind the stone after finding that there was no danger.

The smell of sulfur was everywhere, and Li Shen covered his nose and stepped forward to check.

I saw a big hole blasted out of the ground, and only one of the five layers of stone slabs above was still intact.

"Your Majesty, this time it's much more powerful than last time, and it's close to what Your Majesty asked for.

We are constantly experimenting with recipe sizes. "

"Well, you did a good job. I am very satisfied with the power this time. Have you written down the recipe?"

Li Shen was very satisfied with the power this time.

Yes, Li Shen was making homemade bombs. He had already made gunpowder a long time ago.

Flares are made of gunpowder, as are fireworks.

It's just that if you want to make powerful gunpowder, you need to constantly try the formula. In Li Shen's previous life, he often saw formulas of one, two, and three on the Internet, which were simply fake.

Of course, Li Shen also understands that if it were true, it would not be circulated on the Internet.

Li Shen has been studying this thing for so many years, but due to the meter, there is no way to measure this thing accurately to the gram.

So I took a lot of detours and spent a lot of time.

"Go back to your lord, it has been recorded."

"How many people have seen this record?" Li Shen suddenly asked.

Several people immediately knelt down upon hearing this.

"My lord, please forgive me, no one except the three of us has seen this record, not even Manager Li has seen it.

We will never reveal this. "

These three people are all old people from the palace. They are very familiar with this.

Knowing too many secrets can kill people.

Li Shen looked at the three of them and sighed, but he really had no intention of killing these people.

Making gunpowder also requires people. Instead of finding other people to make it, it is better to let these three eunuchs do it.

These three people have no relatives and no descendants. Even if they know the formula, they will not leak it to future generations.

As long as you keep strict supervision here, you won't be afraid of these people betraying you.

And no one else knows about this yet.

"You three, get up." Li Shen said, then turned his back and walked towards the manor.

After the three people got up, they didn't know what was going on and followed Li Shen silently, while Shitou stayed to deal with the scene.

Arriving at the manor platform, Li Shen sat down. Chunxiang Dongmei began to prepare tea for Li Shen.

Li Shen looked at the three anxious people and smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you to silence you, and I will reward you heavily."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me. There is no need for a reward. This is what slaves should do." Several people thanked him quickly.

"Rewards must be given. You have made great contributions to this king. I never treat those who can do things badly.

Each of you will be given a manor, two fields and a hundred acres, so that you will have a place to retire when you are old.

I will also select three boys from the orphanage for the three of you to adopt as your heirs.

In this way, the three of you can be regarded as having incense. Even if you go to Jiuquan in the future, there won't be no one to worship you. "

The most important thing for the ancients was incense. There were three types of unfilial piety, the worst was not having children.

"Plop!" The three of them knelt down and thanked Li Shen.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. I have nothing to repay you for. I am willing to serve Your Majesty as a slave and maidservant for the rest of my life. I will be loyal to Prince Ji. If there is any violation, I will be punished by heaven and earth."

Several people swore allegiance in front of Li Shen. The ancients took oaths very seriously.

"Haha, okay, since you are willing to be used by me, then I will definitely not treat you badly.

However, I still want to ask you a few words. Do not let this matter leak out. You will also have heirs in the future.

You must also consider future generations. I will arrange for your sons to live in your manor, and I will also send people to serve you.

When they reach the age, I will also let them study, and recommend them to take the imperial examination in the future, so as to glorify your ancestors.

This king also allows you to go home and see your son every month. "

The treatment Li Shen gave them was already what they had dreamed of, and that was because of the oaths they swore for Li Shen.

Although oaths may not necessarily come true, the ancients took oaths very seriously.

Unlike later generations who swear to work harder than eating, they post at least three times a day.
