The eldest prince and Wei Zhongliang have been watching from the side.
All plans were carried out according to the arrangements of the eldest prince.
This time, the second prince lost His Majesty's trust in him, and also lost his prestige in front of all civil and military officials.
And he was beaten so miserably.
Losing face!
This is exactly what the eldest prince wants to see.
More importantly, the second prince will be imprisoned for a month. During this month, the eldest prince can do many things.
Eliminate dissidents and win over the officials and forces on the second prince's side.
The second prince was sent to the Royal Hospital by the palace guards.
This matter has finally been resolved.
Fang Chen and the people around him walked into the Jinluan Hall again.
Lu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Fang Chen: "President Liu, listen to the seal!"
Fang Chen walked forward and knelt in the center of the hall.
"President Liu, you sent the formula of black powder and the drawings of weapons to the imperial court, which is a great contribution!"
"Now that you have become a palace guard, as long as you are loyal to the court, I will naturally grant you an official title."
"Today, I will reward you with ten thousand gold, a mansion, and three hundred servants..."
Lu Yuanzhang rewarded him a lot.
The meaning is very clear. We cannot directly appoint you as an official yet, we can only reward you with property.
When the time comes, I will definitely be promoted to a higher position!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fang Chen thanked him.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister." Lu Yuanzhang rewarded Wei Zhongliang with another thousand gold coins.
Because Liu Dachang is a friend of Wei Zhongliang, he got the formula of black powder and the blueprint of the weapon today, so Wei Zhongliang deserves the reward.
Next, Fang Chen worked with civil and military officials to study the production method of black gunpowder.
Fang Chen said: "After I got the formula, I bought a lot of materials and went to experiment, but every time I got to the most critical moment, I failed."
"However, I have accumulated enough experience, and I guarantee that it can be successfully developed within three months!"
In other words, Fang Chen has to complete all the plans within three months.
In fact, in less than three months, Luo Ningxin's army will arrive at the city!
The Minister of Industry and several officials expressed their opinions.
"It is indeed difficult to make black powder. We have never had relevant experience. Since Chairman Liu has experience in this and is so confident, I think that Chairman Liu will be solely responsible for making black powder this time!"
"Yes, President Liu just said that he can definitely successfully develop it within three months. With the help of the rest of us, I believe it will be faster!"
The matter was quickly settled. Lu Yuanzhang was extremely excited when he heard that Fang Chen could research black gunpowder in three months!
"In this case, the manufacture of black powder and everything else will be left to President Liu."
"As long as President Liu succeeds in producing black powder, I will confer President Liu as a second-grade marquis!"
This is the emperor's promise to Fang Chen.
Although the second-grade Marquis only has a title, his status is equal to that of the Prime Minister!
It can be seen that the emperor attached great importance to this matter!
All civil and military officials were extremely surprised. They did not expect that Fang Chen would rise to the top because of this incident!
"Thank you Lord for your kindness!" Fang Chen's face was full of excitement and he thanked him again: "Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
The meeting is here, and everything is over.
"Retreat!"
As soon as Fang Chen walked out of the Jinluan Hall, the Minister of Industry and others gathered around him.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry said: "Sir Liu, from now on, our Ministry of Industry will study black powder with you. All the people in the Ministry of Works are at your disposal. Whatever you need, just say a word, and everyone in our Ministry of Works will be willing to help you."
!”
Other senior officials from the Ministry of Industry also expressed their opinions that they would fully assist Fang Chen.
If black powder is produced, it will not be due to Fang Chen alone, but also to the Ministry of Industry. Endless benefits will be gained by then.
Therefore, everyone in the Ministry of Industry is willing to fully assist Fang Chen.
Fang Chen smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I believe that if we study the formula together, we will be able to produce the finished product of black powder in the shortest time."
Next, people from the Ministry of Works invited Fang Chen to go to the Ministry of Works. They would arrange everything for Fang Chen and live in the Ministry of Works.
At this time the eldest prince came over.
"Master Liu is the palace guard of Yong'an Palace. He must stay in Yong'an Palace."
"The Ministry of Industry can send someone over to Yong'an Palace to assist Mr. Liu."
Making black gunpowder is extremely critical, and it must be made on the site of the big house.
Furthermore, there are many people in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, so the formula can easily be leaked out.
The Minister of Industry understood what the eldest prince meant.
Obviously the eldest prince needs this credit!
If the Ministry of Industry wants this credit together, then it should support the eldest prince and send people over to study it with the eldest prince's people.
So the eldest prince and Fang Chen got on the sedan together and headed to Yong'an Palace.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry looked at the back of the sedan chair and made a decision in his heart.
Tomorrow we will send senior officials from the Ministry of Industry and some powerful people to Yong'an Palace to study gunpowder.
On the carriage, the eldest prince was very satisfied with Fang Chen's performance.
"Master Liu, the scene was really well performed today. When we get back, I will set up a big table for you, and the two of us will have a few drinks."
Fang Chen smiled faintly: "These are what I should do. Next, I will devote all my energy to studying gunpowder."
The eldest prince nodded.
"It's best to research it within a month and get the gunpowder out before the Second Prince lifts his confinement."
Fang Chen understood the eldest prince's plan, he wanted to make sure that the second prince had no chance of turning around.
A month later, the second prince was released from confinement. What he saw must be that the eldest prince had made gunpowder and was thriving!
The second prince's status and everything around him will be trampled to death by the eldest prince.
Fang Chen and the eldest prince came to Yong'an Palace together, and the eldest prince hosted a banquet in reception.
At this moment, the second prince was sent to the Imperial Hospital for treatment.
When the second prince woke up, the wounds on his body had been bandaged, and he was lying face down on the bed, unable to lie down flat.
There were bursts of tearing pain in my butt.
"Ahhhhh!"
The memory of the second prince still lingered on the moment when Fang Chen taught him a lesson.
"Liu Dachang, I will not let you go, I will never let you go! I will cut you into pieces!"
Thinking of everything that had happened before, the second prince was in agony, ashamed and angry.
"Your Highness, all this must be arranged by His Highness!"
Fifth Qingkuang has been staying by the second prince's side, and he already knows everything that happened in the hall.
This situation was planned by the eldest prince, with ulterior motives!
Previously, Wu Qingkuang had persuaded the second prince not to allow him to give Liu Dachang any benefits and to stabilize Liu Dachang.
However, the second prince did not listen to the advice, and not only did he not receive any benefits, but he threatened him at every turn.
This caused Liu Dachang to seek refuge with the eldest prince.
After the second prince thought of these things, he became even more angry.
He never thought that Liu Dachang would turn against him!
Originally, the formula of black powder and the formula of weapons, these two biggest trump cards and the greatest glory, belonged to the second prince.
But now, I missed him!
Hate it!
The second prince's intestines turned green with regret.
