Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

Jiang Fan grabbed Li Shimin's hand to prevent him from deserting, and said with a smile, "My rainmaking method is different from others, so watch carefully..."

After Jiang Fan finished speaking, he took the lead in demonstrating by taking out a rocket and putting it into the launch tube of the launcher.

Then I began adjusting the launch elevation, aiming it at the clouds in the sky, and picked up the launch remote control...

After everything was ready, Jiang Fan stepped back more than ten meters and said to Zhang Anan beside him:

"General Zhang, please cover the rhinoceros's ears!"

"Okay, I'll go right away..."

Jiang Fan instructed Zhang Anan to cover Princess Jinyang's ears. Although he didn't know why, Zhang Anan didn't ask and simply did as he was told.

Immediately afterward, Jiang Fan picked up the remote control and was about to press the button when Empress Zhangsun arrived with Li Lizhi, Chengyang, and others.

Jiang Fan gave one last instruction, then pressed the launch button.

"Whoosh—"

The rocket streaked across the sky with a long trail of flame, its speed astounding.

Li Shimin's eyes couldn't keep up with the rocket's ascent speed.

This miracle shocked everyone present, including the instigator, Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan himself hadn't expected that the launch of the rocket would cause such a commotion.

Fortunately, Zhang Anan was warned in advance and covered the rhinoceros's ears.

Otherwise, the rhinoceros would definitely be frightened.

After the rocket ascended to the height of the clouds, it exploded directly inside the clouds, and the catalyst inside dissipated directly into the clouds.

One rocket is obviously not enough; this first one was just an experiment by Jiang Fan.

This also served as a practical lesson for Li Shimin, allowing him to learn and apply what he had learned on the spot.

It wasn't until the sound of the rocket exploding reached the ground that Li Shimin recovered from his shock.

Turning back to look at Jiang Fan, she asked, "Jiang...Fan...Fan...Jiang Fan, what just happened? Was your uncle dreaming?"

"What kind of dream are you having in broad daylight? Didn't I tell you before? This is about artificial rainmaking for the Tang Dynasty. Did you see it just now?"

Li Shimin nodded: "You've learned it by looking, but you've forgotten it by hand..."

Jiang Fan: "..."

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin walked over excitedly and said, "Young master, I, old Cheng, have learned it. Why don't I give it a try?"

"Grandpa, you're getting old. This is work for the young. You can just watch from the sidelines and let me do it..."

Cheng Chumo came over and began to recommend himself to Jiang Fan.

This sentence immediately angered Cheng Yaojin. You little brat, are you trying to show off?

If I don't step on your father a few times, you won't be able to show off your greatness, right? Just wait until we get home and I'll teach you a lesson.

What Cheng Chumo didn't know was that his own father had already written him down in his little notebook.

Jiang Fan asked Cheng Chumo and Cheng Yaojin, "Have you both mastered it?"

"Yes, I've got it! I understand the eyes, and I understand the hands too. Young man, leave it to me!"

"Okay, then you two follow my steps and install the rockets onto the launcher, one rocket each..."

"Grandpa, let me go first!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chumo began loading the rockets.

Although I don't know why this rocket was able to fly into the sky,

However, this did not diminish his strong interest in rockets.

He even wanted to personally control the rocket and send it soaring into the sky.

They were taught step by step how to control the remote launcher and fire rockets.

Then Jiang Fan taught them how to control the remote launcher and fire rockets.

After leaving the church, Jiang Fan shouted, "Launch—"

Cheng Chumo pressed the launch button almost simultaneously.

Next up was Cheng Yaojin.

Shortly after the three rockets were launched into the sky, the clouds began to churn, and soon the sun was obscured by the clouds.

Raindrops began to fall from the clouds onto the ground.

Seeing that the artificial rainmaking was successful, Jiang Fan hurriedly shouted to Li Shimin, "Quickly, have someone move the remaining rockets to a sheltered place!"

Upon hearing this, without Li Shimin giving any orders, Cheng Chumo had already led the Imperial Guards into action.

As the raindrops fell, the intense heat in the air was largely dissipated.

Even the stubborn Wei Zheng forgot to find shelter from the rain.

Instead, he stared blankly up at the sky, letting the raindrops fall on his cheeks.

"Brother, come here quickly!" Li Lizhi, holding Xiao Sizi, waved to Jiang Fan.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan quickly ran over to take shelter from the rain, and Li Shimin and the others followed him.

Only Wei Zheng remained, standing in the rain, letting the rain wash over him.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan said to Li Shimin, "Don't you care about your ministers?"

Let him come over here quickly to avoid the rain! He doesn't want to catch a cold!

Li Shimin nodded slightly and called out to Wei Zheng, "Xuancheng, don't just stand there like an idiot, come inside and take shelter from the rain!"

Upon hearing Li Shimin's call, Wei Zheng turned his head, glanced at Li Shimin, and then slowly stepped forward and knelt down directly in front of Li Shimin.

"Hey, hey, hey, Xuancheng, what are you doing? Get up..."

Li Shimin raised his hand and spoke to Wei Zheng, who was performing a deep kneeling ceremony in the rain.

Without even looking up, Wei Zheng replied, "Your Majesty, you are blocking my way. I am thanking the young master for bringing rain to our Great Tang Dynasty."

"Thank you, young sir, for rescuing the people of our Great Tang from the flames of suffering. Thank you for your great kindness and virtue. Please accept Wei Zheng's bow."

As he spoke, Wei Zheng prepared to kowtow in gratitude.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan quickly jumped out of the car, went to Wei Zheng, and pulled him up from the ground.

"Lord Wei, you flatter me greatly! I cannot accept such a grand gesture. Please rise!"

Jiang Fan quickly went over and pulled Wei Zheng up from the ground.

Such a generous gift is truly too much for me to bear; it's far too heavy.

Moreover, the person in front of him was Wei Zheng, the most upright remonstrating minister of the Tang Dynasty, which made it even more unacceptable.

After Wei Zheng stood up, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Fan again and said, "Young master, you possess unfathomable magical powers, and you can even summon rain from the sky. This has truly broadened my horizons."

"Lord Wei, you flatter me. This is nothing to worry about!"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng's impression of Jiang Fan improved even more. He had truly done something earth-shattering, yet remained anonymous. Such a magnanimous spirit was truly admirable.

Jiang Fan himself was unaware that Wei Zheng had elevated him to such a high position.

In a moment of shock and excitement, Jiang Fan suddenly spoke up and asked Li Shimin:

"Uncle, how large is the area affected by the drought?"

Jiang Fan's artificial rainmaking this time has a limited range. One rocket can only cover a range of about 20 kilometers, and three rockets can only cover a radius of about 60 kilometers. It won't reach places that are far away.
