Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1503 Li Er's boldness!
Fang Jun is a little disappointed with His Majesty Li Er's "self-righteousness". This concept of traveling through the times is indeed beyond the understanding and insight of His Majesty Li Er. .

However, if everyone thinks that Fang Jun is planning to take power for the Ministry of War like His Majesty Li Er, then Fang Jun will naturally be happy to see it succeed.

His Majesty Li Er reprimanded Fang Jun, picked up Fang Jun's memoir on the desk, opened it and looked at it, frowning with a worried expression.

"The power of firearms is truly unworthy of courage... You are a thunderbolt, a cannon, and this firearm... If you develop it vigorously, you will be a woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken." Is it necessary to develop firearms that can injure others, but can also injure oneself?"

Hearing His Majesty Li Er's question, Fang Jun's heart suddenly sank.

Sure enough, the emperors looked at things from the same angle, and this is what the "holy ancestor" of the Qing Dynasty was afraid of when faced with the power of firearms.As a result, because of the fear of powerful firearms and confidence in the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, they not only put the latest firearms on the shelf, but even completely eradicated the firearms R&D and production system established in the Ming Dynasty...

Short-sighted, no more than this!
Fang Jun looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "I just want to ask His Majesty a word - if I can develop firearms, can others? My Great Tang can manufacture firearms, so can other countries?!"

His Majesty Li Er was stunned, and then suddenly woke up!
He was just afraid of the power of firearms, and felt that such sharp weapons should not be what should be in the world, they can cause huge damage and harm the peace of heaven!More importantly, with the range and power of firearms, they could easily pose an extreme threat to the safety of the emperor on earth!

It can even make him sleepless at night...

However, Fang Jun's words made him wake up like a divine enlightenment!
Fang Jun is indeed amazingly talented in miscellaneous studies, but there are countless capable people in the world, who dares to say that no one can beat Fang Jun in miscellaneous studies?Fang Jun can make firearms, how do you know that others can't?Even if it can't be made now, what about ten years from now?What about a hundred years from now?
After all, there will still be man-made ones!

Fang Jun continued to speak with his tongue: "Your Majesty is wise and wise. He is an unprecedented emperor. Naturally, he knows that the way of a country is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat! First of all, now that the Tang Dynasty is flourishing and prosperous, we must not be complacent and self-satisfied. The more it looks like the future is bright, the more we must work hard and forge ahead, so that our Tang Dynasty will be powerful and powerful, and dominate the world! We are now the first empire in the world to develop firearms. This is a gift from God Good opportunity, as long as we continue to provide financial and policy support for the research and development of firearms, firearms will be able to lead the world, and will always be the best in the world in the future! But if we give up the research and development of firearms at this moment, even because we are afraid of the powerful power, instead It would be a big mistake to put it on the shelf and completely ban it! If the Turks, Japanese, Dashi, and even Goguryeo develop firearms tomorrow, how will the Tang cavalry resist the god of destruction with flesh and blood? Soldiers? It is clear that we developed firearms first, but finally banned them because of our cowardice, and then were overtaken by the enemy head-on in firearms... God will not take it, but we will bear the blame!"

This is not Fang Jun's alarmist talk, this is something that clearly happened in history!

Gunpowder was invented by the Han people, but they were only used for firecrackers and fireworks. In the end, the Westerners carried it forward, and then armed with gunpowder, armed with gunpowder, knocked on the country's gates, and caused the Chinese people to suffer a shame and humiliation that has never been seen in a thousand years...

How many irreparable traumas have been caused to this nation during that century-long dark years?

He must not let this happen again!
His Majesty Li Er was obviously moved by Fang Jun's words. After pondering for a while, he raised his sword eyebrows fiercely, and said domineeringly: "You are right. If you don't take it from God, you will be blamed instead! God let firearms be born in the Tang Dynasty, it is against you!" The greatest favor of the Tang Dynasty, how can I abandon these magical weapons because I am worried about my personal safety? I would rather die under the firearms with no bones left, and never want to be knocked open by foreigners with firearms in the future , wreak havoc on the rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, and slaughter our citizens of the Tang Dynasty!"

The sound was loud, buzzing and echoing above the hall!

Fang Jun stared at His Majesty Li Er with a determined face in front of him, then took a long breath, got up and left his seat, took two steps back, and bowed to the ground!
"Your Majesty Shengming!"

This bow, Fang Jun is willing, only for His Majesty Li Er's pride!

He clearly knows that the existence of firearms can make the assassination easier, but he would rather take a huge risk than stop the development of firearms and give no chance to the rise of foreign races!
This is the courage and courage that the emperor of the world should have!

In comparison, that "holy grandfather" boasted by countless unscrupulous people is like a firefly compared to a scorching sun, and a sparrow compared to an eagle!

"Your Majesty is so strong! The Tang Dynasty is so strong! Even if the humble minister is smashed to pieces, he is willing to encourage him!"

Fang Jun's nose was slightly sour, and he said loudly.

"Wuhaha... that's all right, all right, there are only you and me, the monarch and my ministers, who are you going to show me acting like this?"

His Majesty Li Er stroking his beard and laughing, Long Yan was delighted.

To be honest, the thing he is most upset about Fang Jun is that he really lacks awe of him, the emperor of the world!
His Majesty Li Er has seen countless people, what kind of people have you never seen?
He could see Fang Jun's rebelliousness concealed in his bones. It was a kind of pride that although he didn't know why, he always looked down on all sentient beings!
This kid looks down on all sentient beings, and no one will accept him!

Including him, the supreme under heaven holding the sun and the moon...

However, now, His Majesty Li Er can clearly feel Fang Jun's respect and tameness from the heart. The feeling is too strong!
Fang Jun just got up, but he still said seriously: "I am not flattering words. Your Majesty has a heart for the world and can see thousands of miles. It is really a blessing of the Tang Dynasty! I have never seen the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, but I know that even if they are true sages, And that's all."

His Majesty Li Er narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard, and listened to Fang Jun's "flattering", his mood soared...

Fortunately, there is no one in the hall at the moment, if Wei Zheng is here, I am afraid that he will label these two people as "faint monarchs and ministers" and reprimand them severely...

"Okay, let's talk about the casting bureau you've been tinkering with. I always feel that it must not be as simple as it seems. Are you hiding something behind?"

It has to be said that His Majesty Li Er knew Fang Jun quite well, so he didn't believe that this guy was just willing to repair the weapons and armor, and was just a helper for the military supervisor.

"Your Majesty knows everything..."

There are too many flattery words, it is inevitable...

"Has Your Majesty ever seen the memorandum of the minister, the one that dedicates the new ironmaking method of the Fangjia Iron Works to the Ministry of War?"

"Well, of course I saw it. Why, didn't I always say that I stole your glass workshop by coincidence?"

His Majesty Li Er had a teasing look on his face.

Fang Jun smiled, disapprovingly said: "Compared with the new iron-making technique, what is glass?"

His Majesty Li Er said strangely: "Then I don't understand anymore. Your boy regards money as his life. This is an iron-making method that can almost guarantee the Fang family's food and clothing for hundreds of years. Why do you want to donate it?"

Fang Junquan pretended not to have heard the words "regarding wealth as life", stepped forward two steps, and said with a shy smile: "Your Majesty also thinks that the new method of iron making can guarantee the Fang family's peace of mind for hundreds of years? I have to. Said, Your Majesty is really wise and powerful, wise and unparalleled...Well, since Your Majesty recognizes the value of this iron-making method, then you see...should I give some rewards to this humble minister as compensation?"

"Hehe..." His Majesty Li Er sneered, "For example?"

Fang Jun was cheeky, and said in a low voice: "For example, to mention the title of Weichen... You see, the official position of Weichen is not high, but it is not low. I usually deal with princes and dukes. This title is low, so it is inevitable that you have to nod your head and bow your head, and you will be a little shorter... Besides, you see that the humble minister has dedicated his iron-making skills, so you have to express it, right? The official historian knows, but if you can’t say it, you have to make up your majesty, you don’t distinguish between rewards and punishments, and rewards and punishments are unclear, which is detrimental to your holy name of mighty and domineering, isn’t it..."

His Majesty Li Er laughed angrily. I have never seen such a shameless person who wants an official to beg for a title in his life!

"Is this iron-making method really so important?"

"Of course! Your Majesty is well aware of the benefits of firearms, but what I want to tell you is that the power of firearms is still far from what I expected! And the restrictions on the power of firearms The most important thing is the quality of the steel! For the sake of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and for the sake of His Majesty's future generations, this minister reluctantly gave up his love..."

His Majesty Li Er believes that Fang Jun will not lie. Since the art of iron smelting is so important, it is even more valuable for Fang Jun to sacrifice it. Marquis, are you going to encourage those officials at Yushitai to impeach me?"

"I don't dare, but justice is at ease in people's hearts. What others say, I can't control..."

His Majesty Li Er was furious, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "Do you still want to be shameless? Fang Xuanling is like a gentleman, why did you give birth to such a scum... Cough cough, get out of here, go home and wait for the imperial edict!"

"My servant complied, thank you Lord Long En!"

Fang Jun saluted and bowed to thank him.

He was thinking in his heart, my brother dedicated the art of ironmaking to His Majesty, from now on the Fangjia Iron Factory will be in the same camp as the imperial court, but he wondered what the eldest grandson Wuji, who made ironmaking his family's main business, thought?
