Li Mu had wanted to take out gunpowder, but after knowing Li Shimin's ambition and obsession, he chose to forget this skill. After all, when he came to this world, he never thought about becoming the king and building any achievements. According to the development of history, gunpowder should gradually sprout after hundreds of years. At this time, it was still a finished product. The powerful gunpowder is very unfair to the world.

Gunpowder will grow Li Shimin's growing ambitions. His current ambition is limited to pacifying the four barbarians. But after he has gunpowder and pacifying the four barbarians, he will not stop.

On the surface, this is a good thing for the Tang Dynasty. But it is really a good thing. Even if there is gunpowder and the war is in full swing, the food and supplies will consume national strength. The lives of the people cannot recover in a short period of time. Besides, the enemy does not have gunpowder. Can people still die if there is no crossbow? What Li Mu is working hard to make the people live a better life. When they can avoid war, try not to fight. When it is really unsolvable, fight small battles and fight quickly, and try not to drag the entire country in.

So, he didn't want to offer this gunpowder. After he came back, he didn't mention a word. But there was no airtight wall in the world. Li Shimin finally remembered it. He couldn't hide, so he had to explain it even if he bit the bullet.

"This thing is called gunpowder, the formula is here." Li Mu wrote the formula and handed it over to Li Shimin without any reluctance. Li Shimin looked at the formula in a daze. He thought that after the last incident, Li Mu was distracted from it and would not be willing to hand over the formula. For this reason, he prepared a whole set of rhetoric, thinking about how to induce it in order to let Li Mu submit.

It was so easy that Li Shimin did not expect, which made him question the authenticity of gunpowder.

"Your Majesty, you have to doubt that this is indeed the recipe I used to make the black powder that day. I call this thing gunpowder."

"Gunpowder," Li Shimin said, "It's indeed appropriate. The power of this thing is really rumored to be as powerful as it can explode mountains and city gates."

“It’s true, but not necessarily.”

"Not necessarily" Li Shimin thought to himself, indeed, a little bad. No wonder this kid handed it out so easily, pressed his heart and asked, "Why is it not necessarily true?"

"It was a pure accident that I developed this gunpowder." Li Mu approached Li Shimin and whispered, "Your Majesty thinks I developed it."

"how"

"I got it unexpectedly when I was refining the alchemy."

"Dan" Li Shimin frowned and said unhappily, "I don't believe in this kind of thing that seeks immortals. If you want to tell me, just say it well. If you don't want to tell me, I didn't force you. Is it necessary to tell such an irresistible lie?"

"I'm not lying." Li Mu defended excitedly. "Every of these materials is used for alchemy. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, please call Master Yuan and let him see if it's right."

Seeing that Li Mu dared to confront him, Li Shimin turned his suspicion into three points and asked, "Why do you want to refine alchemy? Could it be that you are thinking about eating alchemy and immortality at such a young age?"

"Of course I'm not refining elixirs for longevity." Li Mu showed an awkward look, laughed dryly, leaned into Li Shimin's ear, and whispered, "I have four wives."

Li Shimin didn't react at once, "What's wrong with the four beauties in my harem, and they don't look like you." Suddenly, Li Shimin reacted, glared at Li Mu, and said, "At a young age, I'll take this kind of tiger and wolf medicine."

"I know my mistake."

"I didn't let you admit your mistake," Li Shimin glanced at him and whispered, "I want to ask you, how effective is there if there is a finished product?"

"The effect is this thing." Li Mu spread his hands and said, "I haven't practiced the pills, I have practiced the gunpowder. Your Majesty also knew the function of this thing. At that time, he heard a rumbling explosion, and the alchemy furnace broke. I thought about it at that time, I refined it according to the method left by Doctor Sun. How could it not be successful? I tried it a few more times."

"how"

"It's been fried three times, but it didn't explode once." Li Mu said proudly, "Your Majesty knows my intelligence, and you can't let it explode in vain even if you blow it up. I just thought about it, and after thinking about it, I figured out this recipe."

"I'm not asking you all this," Li Shimin said anxiously, "I'm asking you why the effect of the explosion is not necessarily true, why is it not necessarily true."

"It may not be three." Li Mu said the excuse he made up on the way, saying, "Gunpowder is very flammable. If you are not careful, before you can blow someone up, you will explode in your hand."

"This is not a big deal, just be careful." Li Shimin asked, "What else is uncertain?"

"Also, this thing is very easy to get damp and the cost is not low." Li Mu did not lie about this. In the Tang Dynasty, taking pills was a luxury that only nobles could afford. Each material was very expensive.

Li Shimin looked carefully at the orders put out by Li Mu. They were indeed not cheap, but he was also confused and asked, "Since this thing is so expensive, you didn't have money when you were in Camel Valley, so why did you buy so many materials?"

"This is indeed a coincidence," Li Mu explained with a smile, "Your Majesty doesn't know that there are many materials in the Western Regions and Persia. Many merchants who come and go will rest in Camel Valley. They carry these things. It was a coincidence that I discovered these things and decided to take a risk. I didn't expect to succeed by chance."

"I can also send a caravan to sell these materials. But it's not easy to get wet. You say it's easy to get wet, how easy it is?"

"Basically, it can only be used first."

"This is a problem. Chang'an City does not have these materials and transported them from a distance. They are worried about getting damp on the road, so it is like a solution."

"I didn't think of any way for the time being." Li Mu shook his head and continued, "There is another problem, now I only think of two application scenarios. Either, I just put it in the place where I want to explode, and then ignite it from afar. Or, I risk my life and throw it at close range and plunder Gaochang, I already faced this problem. One of my subordinates, named Usman. He was the first to attack Gaochang City, but he injured his leg because of the explosion, and he could only be a useless person in the future."

Speaking of this, Li Mu sighed a few times, but the light from the corner of his eyes was always on Li Shimin.

He had already said it very clearly. This explosive is flammable, explosive and expensive. Even if these are not problems, the person using it may still have problems. In short, this thing cannot be used.

But as Li Shimin, he saw a road closer to his ideal, how could he choose to give up? He didn't ask anything more, encouraged Li Mu a few words and asked him to go back. Li Mu also knew that Li Shimin would not give up, but he could at least calm down for a while. Moreover, even if Li Shimin wanted to make trouble by himself, it was not the time now. The Ministry of Internal Affairs really had no money, and he couldn't do it for a while.

If Li Shimin really did it, he could not make gunpowder as powerful as Li Mu used. Because the formula Li Mu gave him had a small difference and proportional difference from the formula he used. Li Mu's original gunpowder formula was made of a weapon of murder. The gunpowder he gave Li Shimin's formula was only equivalent to a second kick. Although it was loud and had a little power, it would definitely not be enough to use it to confront the two armies.

Li Mu was not worried that Li Shimin would find a trick. Even if he found it, he could say that it was because of the problem of long-distance transportation of raw materials. There were still many excuses to find.

Leaving from the palace, Li Mu came to Pingkangfang.

After returning to Chang'an, Jin Chen told Li Mu that she wanted to go back to Lichunyuan to talk to her sisters. When she and Yinyue were in Lichunyuan, everyone treated them very well. Although Yinyue is dead now, this friendship is true, and Li Mu did not stop her and asked her to talk to her.

But after reminiscing about the past several times, Jin Chen became more and more early and late. This made Li Mu feel a little uncomfortable. Could it be that there is someone outside?

Although, he could find out the truth by asking casually. Whether it was the Dongchang or the Jinyiwei, it was more than enough to investigate Jin Chen's whereabouts.

But how to say this matter really hurts the majesty of the marquis, and Li Mu didn't say it in the end. He decided to come out and take a look. If there was really someone who was brave enough to eat the ambition, he would catch the man and peel it and get cramps. But he probably didn't dare, so he just wanted to come over and see what Jin Chen was busy with every day, and why he would go back so late these days.

Although Lichunyuan had already changed hands when he decided to go to Luoyang, the people were still the same group of people, and Li Mu would naturally not be able to stop him from entering and leaving, but in fact, it was not open for business hours at this time and he would not receive guests.

When he walked into the yard, Li Mu heard the sound of rehearsing. It was still the same as Dou E's injustice. It was just that the person on the stage was no longer the same as the original version. Dou E, who was originally played by Jin Chen, had also changed to another person. Li Mu stood under the stage and looked at it for a while, and felt that the person on the stage was very familiar with every move, so he asked the person next to him, "What is this new Dou E's origin? He performed well."

"It's really good." The guy said, "I came a few days ago and said I wanted to play Dou E. At that time, we all thought that this girl was pretty and spoke a lot. Is Dou E a good person? Is it definitely not possible for anyone to act? But after trying two scenes, guess what, they are really good, not only can they do it, but they are also very powerful. Compared with the original boss Jin, it is not much inferior."

This guy is also from the School of Education and speaks a little ink. It is because of the ink that he likes to watch dramas more. Dou E has watched it dozens of times, and every time he sees it, he still feels wonderful. If he had not followed the guest, he would always stand under the stage and hum a few lines. "It's really good." The guy said, "I came a few days ago and said I wanted to play Dou E. When we listened at that time, we all thought that this girl was pretty and spoke a lot. Is Dou E a good person? I can definitely not be able to perform Dou E? But after trying two scenes, guess what, they are really good, not only good, but also very powerful. Compared with the original boss Jin, it is not much inferior."
