Da Qin: Old Zhao, I am really not a fairy

"The gunpowder is made?" Zhao Sheng stood up, put his hand on Mo Qing's shoulder, and looked at Mo Qing squarely.

Compared with the ruins of the scientific research institute, the successful development of gunpowder is more important.

This is a huge breakthrough!

Mo Qing nodded vigorously, "Blowing up the scientific research institute was an unintentional act by Gong Shubei and the others. Please punish me, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Sheng didn't care much about the bombed scientific research institutes, and chuckled, "If the gunpowder is successfully developed, even if ten scientific research institutes are blown up, it's worth it."

"Take me to see gunpowder!"

"promise."

Zhao Sheng thought it was too slow to walk, so he directly ordered Yu Ziqi to take Mo Qing on the horse and rush to the ruined scientific research institute together.

In the research institute.

Gongshubei is counting the number of people in the scientific research institute just now.

Of course, we don't want to cause casualties to craftsmen because of the explosion of gunpowder.

But fortunately, everyone was there, but a few people had their arms and legs injured by the gunpowder.

The guilty look on Gongshubei's face was all because of him, the consequences of rashly developing gunpowder.

At this time, a group of craftsmen said happily, "His Royal Highness is here!"

Zhao Shengce arrived, and as expected, as Mo Qing said, the current scientific research institute was really in ruins because of gunpowder.

The power of gunpowder can be seen.

Zhao Sheng got off his horse and walked in front of several craftsmen in Gongshubei.

Gong Shubei looked at His Highness the Crown Prince with a guilty face, and said with great guilt, "Your Highness, the craftsmen of the scientific research institute were all injured because of me!"

Zhao Sheng noticed the injured craftsman, but fortunately it was not life-threatening.

This can be regarded as a blessing, after all, gunpowder is such a highly lethal hot weapon.

Zhao Sheng patted Gong Shubei on the shoulder lightly, indicating that there is no need to blame yourself too much.

Zhao Sheng then muttered to the injured craftsmen, "You are the heroes of Daqin who invented gunpowder. Daqin will not treat those who have meritorious service badly."

Even if these injured craftsmen become useless, Zhao Sheng will arrange for them to spend their old age peacefully.

Zhao Sheng then turned to Mo Qing and ordered, "Every craftsman injured by gunpowder will be rewarded with three nobles, two Hun slaves, and a hundred gold!"

Chapter 141

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!" Mo Qing said happily.

Such a reward is enough for these injured craftsmen to spend the rest of their lives in peace.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Other craftsmen brought the seriously injured craftsmen to heal them.

Zhao Sheng continued to ask Gongshubei, "Did you write down the ratio of gunpowder?"

Gongshu Bei took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which the ratio of gunpowder was clearly recorded.

Zhao Sheng had seen the paper that recorded the ratio of gunpowder, and his face showed joy.

The emergence of gunpowder can be described as a staged breakthrough.

Let Daqin transition from the era of cold weapons to hot weapons.

Zhao Sheng happily continued to ask Gongshu Bei, "Maybe it will be invested in the production of black powder. Of course, it can't blow up the scientific research institute like this time."

Gong Shubei made fun of Zhao Sheng, and vowed, "What you do today will never happen again!"

"So good!"

As for the loss caused by the explosion of the scientific research institute, Zhao Sheng ordered Mo Qing to record it in the account of the craftsman department. As for the next time the black powder is produced, Zhao Sheng will be called to witness the explosion of the black powder in person.

Mo Qing nodded repeatedly.

……

After leaving the Artisan Division.

Zhao Sheng and Yu Ziqi returned to the Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Sheng found the reclining chair, and immediately lay down on it, looking very leisurely.

Yu Ziqi sat quietly beside Zhao Sheng. He still had lingering fears about the explosion in the scientific research institute, and asked Zhao Sheng in surprise, "Why is this gunpowder so powerful?"

Yu Ziqi witnessed the tragic situation in the scientific research institute just now.

When gunpowder is put into war, its lethality is even more astonishing.

"The power of gunpowder is like this. The dose is enough, and it can even knock down the city wall."

Zhao Sheng's words are not alarmist.

If you want to come to the countries in the Western Regions, how strong can the walls built by those barbarians be?

A shot of black gunpowder was enough to blow a big hole in the city wall.

Yu Ziqi murmured in surprise, "Times have changed..."

Daqin will have enough gunpowder in the future, and I am afraid that no tactics will be needed. Who can stop the gunpowder bombing.

At this moment, Gao Zhan walked slowly outside the mansion and appeared in front of Zhao Sheng.

"His Royal Highness, the explosion that occurred in the craftsman department before, and its power have already frightened the people of Xianyang." Gao Zhan bowed.

"The people are panicking, worrying that this is God's punishment!"

"How about your Majesty?" Zhao Sheng thought of Brother Zheng in his heart, brother Zheng, don't be frightened by the gunpowder.

"Back to His Royal Highness, His Majesty has now brought Lang Zhong Ling to Xianyang to appease the people."

Zhao Sheng was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that Brother Zheng had already gone. It seems that he should know that the explosion in the research institute was caused by gunpowder.

That being the case, Brother Zheng's appearance is enough to appease the people.
