"Second brother, why are you so angry?”
After getting on the dragon carriage, Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Er's explosive aura and could not help but feel suspicious. She turned to look at Jiang Yi's back in the distance and asked,""Could it be that…Jiang Yi angered you again?”
"Guanyin maid, are there really no good people in this world? There are no true gentlemen around me?"
Li Er was distressed. After thinking about it, everyone had black spots on their bodies, and he could see the filth hidden in their hearts.
" This…This is what Jiang Yi said?" Empress Zhangsun was stunned.
Li Er nodded.”
"This Jiang Yi is actually so bold.”
Empress Zhangsun's face darkened, but she suddenly thought of something and asked,""But second brother…why did you leave so many princes and princesses here?”
"Although this Jiang Yi dares to offend you with his words, if you carefully understand the meaning behind his words, what he said is not completely unreasonable.”
Li Er really loved and hated Jiang Yi at the same time. He gritted his teeth helplessly and said,"Perhaps this kid is right. In this world, who doesn't live for themselves? Didn't I also step on the corpses of two princes to sit on the throne? The Sui and Tang dynasties had been in turmoil for decades, and many heroes wanted to be kings.”
"Where did this kid come from? You actually have such insight?"
Empress Zhangsun was also becoming more and more curious about Jiang Yi. Li Er shook his head with a bitter smile."Forget it, forget it. Since he can help me benefit the people and prosper the Great Tang, what can he do if he ridicules me a few times? Let's go back to the palace!"
After Li Er left, a large number of people and horses were gathered. The palace maid held the umbrella and slowly headed towards Chang 'an.
Not far away.
Jiang Yi, who was still standing on the spot, was dumbfounded. He was leaving just like that? Aren't you staying for dinner?
Let's go then. I still have my own things to do.
Li Er's imperial edict was issued, and Li Chengqian and the other princes and princesses were considered to have stayed behind. When they heard their father's words, they had to learn something before they could return to the palace.
Most of them were in despair. Only Princess Qinghe and Princess Changle were secretly happy. These days, the two of them had different thoughts. They only hoped to spend more time with Jiang Yi.
However, his identity was special. He couldn't just run to Jiang Yi's residence for no reason, right?
Now, they could finally stay together.
However, Jiang Yi wasn't going to do that. Damn it, there were so many things waiting for him. Who would be willing to play with you little girls?
After sending Li Er off, Jiang Yi called Li Chengqian over and immediately gathered the Minister of Civil Affairs. He sent the best craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to find the best equipment and steel materials to start developing the musket.
Whether it was ancient or modern times, national defense was highly valued.
The sky was not dark yet, and horse carriages were pulling all the equipment that could be used in the workshop. Leading them were two men in their forties, typical big men from northern Shaanxi.
With a thick northern Shaanxi accent, he said,"You must be Immortal Jiang? Ah, I've heard about you, the famous God in Chang 'an…"
"State your name."
Jiang Yi sat on the armchair and drank the Longjing tea leaves he took out from the warehouse. He could not be bothered with this bootlicker.
"My name is Wang Dazhu, I'm thirty-eight this year…"
"Immortal Jiang, my name is Zhu Shisan…"
The two of them reported their names one after another. Jiang Yi briefly understood them and took out the blueprint he had drawn."You two should understand the purpose of sending you here. The Emperor gave a deadline of two months to see the new weapons. This picture was drawn by me. Moreover, he was in charge of the production of firearms.”
"Eh, thank you, Immortal Jiang."
"Take a look at this map first."
Jiang Yi had also learned about the development of firearms in the later generations. He had originally planned to directly produce flintlocks, but the technological requirements for flintlocks were more complicated. The military industry in the Tang Dynasty was almost zero compared to the later generations. That would be a fool's dream.
In the end, Jiang Yi decided to produce muskets first.
This weapon was also quite practical. It was first used by Qi Jiguang's army in the Ming Dynasty and was quite powerful. It was enough to deal with Turkic cavalry.
" This item is called a musket. It's called the bolt and the barrel…"
Jiang Yi gave a simple introduction and did not dare to say too much, afraid that the two of them would not understand. His current goal was to develop the gun barrel and use steel to burn paper to make it as soon as possible. He then instructed another craftsman to make the gunpowder tray.
After the task was assigned, the two craftsmen quickly left and began to set up a workshop as quickly as possible.
To put it bluntly, the musket was a portable firing device, but the most important thing was the ammunition.
The most important material for making ammunition was gunpowder, but Jiang Yi realized that... the Tang Dynasty didn't have gunpowder.
Yes, you didn't see wrongly. At this moment, the Tang Dynasty doesn't have gunpowder at all.
"I really believe in the four great inventions.”
Jiang Yi had asked Li Chengqian, Cheng Yaojin, and the others. He knew that there was something similar to gunpowder, but it was not black gunpowder at all.
Although history said that the four great inventions originated from the Celestial Dynasty, gunpowder did not form a scale before the Song Dynasty. It was only during the Southern Song Dynasty that black gunpowder was born and used to arm the army.
The Dusk Drum in Chang 'an City sounded again, but it had nothing to do with the people of the Jiang Village.
At this moment, the Jiang family village was brightly lit. The construction workers were working overnight. After Jiang Yi had eaten, he walked around the village with his hands behind his back.
What a headache!
He had to find a way to develop gunpowder.
"Jiang Yi, why are you so worried?"
Just as he was thinking, the little wimp Li Tai ran over and grabbed Jiang Yi's arm, saying,"My royal brother is looking for you.”
