"However, those classics cannot be overlapping with the books in other courtyards' collections."
Li Xuan said again.
"That's how it should be!"
The four old men nodded repeatedly.
"In this case, we still need to trouble the four gentlemen. If the four gentlemen want to go into the library of the other courtyard to read books, just send someone to find the housekeeper. The four gentlemen can enter and exit the library of the other courtyard at any time!" Li Xuan said.
"I would like to thank His Highness King Jin very much!"
The four old men suddenly beamed with joy.
Even if they are all great scholars in the world, they are still a little jealous of the library in the King's Courtyard.
Inside, there were many books that they had not read.
Afterwards, Li Xuan chatted with Wang Ji and Zuo Gong for a while, then said goodbye to the four of them and went to the forging workshop.
The four great Confucians, after living in Lijiazhuang, are equivalent to the masters of everyone in Lijiazhuang.
It can be said that everyone was well fed and served, and no one dared to provoke these four people.
The main purpose of Li Xuan's visit this time was to understand the situation of the boys in Lijiazhuang.
As for those aristocratic families who wanted to buy pens, Li Xuan had already expected it.
However, I didn't expect those people to find Wang Ji, Zuo Gong and others.
"Butler, how many pens have been produced in the shop now?"
On the way, Li Xuan asked.
"Back to your Majesty, there are five hundred pens made entirely of gold; one thousand two hundred pens with bronze bodies and gold tips; and one thousand five hundred pens made entirely of brass!"
Li Chang said.
"That's it!"
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
Soon, several people arrived at the forge.
"I have met the king, Xiao Lang!"
When Le Tai and other ink masters saw Li Xuan, their faces were not filled with joy.
Li Yuanjia also looked overjoyed.
"I've met the third brother!"
"Chenglu has met Uncle Eleven Wang!"
Li Chenglu also greeted Li Yuanjia very obediently.
After the greetings, Li Xuan began to look around in each workshop room.
"Having been away for a year and a half, has anything happened in the forge?"
"Your Majesty, everything is fine!"
The band quickly reported the incident.
"That's good!"
Li Xuan nodded slowly and looked towards the band stage.
Le Tai was startled and said quickly: "Your Majesty, this villain must have made the musket that your Majesty mentioned!"
"real?"
Li Xuan was overjoyed, but at the same time he looked at Le Tai with doubts.
He always felt that since the bomb was made, the painters like Letai had slacked off a little when making the musket drawings he drew.
Otherwise, he had been following behind him for more than half a year to make that simple musket, but Bandai just couldn't make it.
And he was gone for a year and a half, and after he came back, he created it?
Seeing Li Xuan's eyes, Le Tai's face froze and he smiled, "How dare a villain deceive the king!"
"Tsk!"
Li Xuan sneered and looked at the band stage with a half-smile.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment!"
Le Tai gave a flattering laugh and hurriedly ran to a workshop on one side.
Then, using the key on his belt, he opened a tightly locked iron box and took out a thick steel pipe slightly longer than a human arm.
If you look carefully, you can see that the inside of this steel pipe is actually subdivided into four steel pipes, and the three surrounding steel pipes wrap the innermost steel pipe.
On the other side of the steel pipe, there is a slightly curved handle.
Then, he took out a glass bottle from one side, which was filled with black gunpowder and iron blocks.
Immediately, he walked out quickly.
"Your Majesty, please look!"
After walking out, Bandai handed the steel pipe in his hand to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan's eyes lit up, he took the steel pipe and started looking at it.
"Have you ever tried it?"
After flipping through the pages, Li Xuan looked at the band table and asked.
"Back to your Majesty, after the villain made it, he kept it locked in the iron box and never took it out!"
Le Tai said hurriedly.
"In that case, let's go up the mountain and test the gun!" Li Xuandao.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Bandai responded with his hands raised.
A quarter of an hour later.
It’s still the hilltop around Lijiazhuang.
Li Xuan took Li Chenglu and stood behind a big tree.
Xue Rengui, who was covered in iron armor, followed the posture mentioned by Li Xuan, holding the musket with both hands level and pointing the iron pipe at the big tree a hundred steps away in front of him.
Then, the bandstand stuffed the gunpowder in the glass bottle, together with some round sharp iron pieces that were slightly smaller than the steel barrel of the musket, into the barrel of the gun.
He tamped it tightly and then pulled out a lead from the bottom. After lighting it with flint, he hurriedly ran behind a tree.
Li Xuan had already covered Li Chenglu's ears with his hands.
Soon, with a loud noise, a cloud of white gunpowder smoke appeared in front of the steel pipe Xue Rengui was holding.
At the same time, the whole person's arms were shaking slightly.
However, at this moment, Li Xuan, Le Tai and others did not pay much attention to Xue Rengui, but looked directly at the big tree in the distance.
Suddenly, everyone took a breath of cold air.
That big tree was bombarded with four big holes as big as the mouth of a bowl. The bark around the big holes had been blown to pieces. If you look carefully, you can still see countless small sharp iron pieces embedded in them everywhere.
Inside the big hole in the tree trunk.
Have you created another killer weapon?
Le Tai's eyelids twitched and he tried to keep calm, but his lowered hands were trembling slightly.
Xue Rengui, as well as the housekeepers Li Chang and Li Chenglu, were all in a state of dementia.
"Your Majesty, if this thing is aimed at a person and ignited, its killing power is more terrifying than a bomb. No one within a hundred steps can escape!"
Xue Rengui said with a look of surprise.
"Very good!"
Li Xuan was somewhat satisfied with the power of this musket.
"With this thing, if the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, it would be able to sweep them all the way just like it conquered the Turks!"
"King Shenwu!"
Xue Rengui and Li Chang looked excited.
Among the few people present, these two were the only ones who had an obsession with conquering Goguryeo!
"Aye, Chenglu also wants to use this gun!"
Li Chenglu looked at the musket in Xue Rengui's hand and said expectantly.
"No!"
Li Xuan shook his head and refused, and then explained: "This gun is extremely dangerous. Anyone with weak strength, let alone firing the gun, will be blown away the moment the gunpowder is ignited.
Look at Ren Gui, his hands are still trembling right now!"
Xue Rengui was startled and quickly forced his hands to stabilize.
It's a pity that my hands no longer obey my command!
Li Chenglu's eyes lit up and he quickly ran to Xue Rengui and stared at Xue Rengui's hands.
Xue Rengui: "Your Majesty, the general is only excited, but he can still fire!"
Li Xuan looked happy and said: "Very good, then try it a few more times!"
Xue Rengui: "..."
Then, on the top of the mountain, there was another loud noise.
…
A few days later.
Several fast horses rushed into Chang'an from Mingde Gate.
After seeing the soldier on the horse with three flags on his body, all the passers-by's expressions changed drastically and they all gave way to the street. No one dared to stop him.
They rushed along Zhuque Street and rushed into Zhuque Gate until they reached Chengtian Gate. The soldiers immediately jumped off their horses and rushed into the palace.
"Luoyang Urgent Play!"
"Zhengzhou Urgent Play!"
"Xuzhou Urgent Play!"
"Gunzhou Urgent Report..."
Wait until these messengers rush into the Liangyi Palace.
Then one after another the servants rushed out from the Liangyi Palace and ran towards the outside of the palace.
