Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Chapter 49 Excited Minister of Works

"In that case, let's go down."

Li Si waved his hand and said.

The original intention of the imperial examination system was to select outstanding talents for Datang.

However, if this talent is not used by the emperor, what kind of imperial examinations will Li Si hold?

Li Si knew that there were many ministers up and down the court, all staring at the position of the chief examiner.

Since the prime minister was dismissed, the prime minister's seat has been vacant.

At this time, if a minister can serve as the chief examiner of this imperial examination, and raise his reputation to the peak in one fell swoop, he is very likely to become the next prime minister.

The prime minister is extremely human, and the emperor is above ten thousand people. As a minister, who doesn't want to be the ruler of the dynasty?

It's a pity that Li Si has blocked this road.

If you want to become prime minister, you can, take credit for it!

But if you want to become the chief examiner of the imperial examinations, accumulate fame, and win the position of prime minister, no!

Li Si absolutely does not allow the courtiers to be caught up in all kinds of factional disputes and ignore national affairs!

After the Minister of Rites left the palace, he immediately rushed back to the Shangshu Mansion and began to arrange the next imperial examinations.

The Minister of Rites vaguely guessed His Majesty's thoughts.

Your Majesty is to take all the talents in the world into your own hands...

"Hey..."

The Minister of Rites sighed softly.

Before going to the palace, several ministers approached him and hoped that the Minister of Rites would recommend them to be the examiners of the imperial examinations before His Majesty.

However, His Majesty's meaning is already obvious.

In all future imperial examinations, there will be no courtiers as chief examiners.

The only chief examiner is the current emperor!

The Minister of Rites is hesitant now, how to reject these ministers...

...

...

Outside Chang'an City.

in a base of the Ministry of Industry.

The Minister of Industry looked at the messy field in front of him in disbelief.

"This..."

"how can that be?!"

"There is a group of firelight, gathered together, the power is so great?"

The Minister of Industry widened his eyes.

During the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor once called him Guanxinglou and asked him to develop how to use fireworks for military purposes!

At that time, the first reaction of the Minister of Industry was to disapprove.

How can the mere fireworks be used on the battlefield?

But with His Majesty's guidance, the Minister of Industry saw the feasibility.

Afterwards, His Majesty allocated one million taels of silver from the treasury as research and development expenses.

This made the Minister of Industry realize that His Majesty attaches great importance to this matter.

Therefore, on the second day after leaving the palace, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry brought his subordinates to this base to study day and night.

And, for confidentiality.

Except for the Minister of Industry and Commerce himself, no one is allowed to leave for half a step.

At this time, after seeing the research results, the Minister of Industry was deeply shocked.

Because the power is too great.

According to His Majesty's thoughts, the Minister of Industry gathered many fireworks together and ignited them all at once.

As a result, a large number of fireworks gathered and detonated, with incredible power.

According to the current scale, it is enough to easily blow through a small hill...

This kind of thing, once applied to the battlefield, can definitely play an incredible role.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry looked excited.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry also realized that this kind of thing also has shortcomings, such as instability, once the temperature is too high, it is very likely to detonate in advance and hurt oneself...

But compared with the role it brings, this disadvantage can be completely ignored.

Besides, with the continuous in-depth development, the so-called shortcomings may be solved.

"What did His Majesty call this kind of thing at that time?"

"gunpowder?!"

"That's right,

It's gunpowder! "

The Minister of Industry shouted in his heart.

Originally, the Minister of Industry was already high enough to see the impact of gunpowder.

but now...

The Minister of Industry believes that it is still greatly underestimated.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was suddenly a little ashamed. On the star-gazing tower, the emperor asked him for the first time to use fireworks in the military. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry denied it without thinking.

Now it seems that His Majesty is far-sighted, and it is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people...

...

However, what shocked the Minister of Industry the most was that gunpowder can be used not only in the military field, but also in the people's livelihood.

For example, dig a mountain to open a road.

In the past, when Datang wanted to dig a mountain to open a road, it could only requisition a large number of civilians or warriors, and smashed the mountain wall bit by bit, which was labor-intensive and inefficient.

But now, with gunpowder, how much trouble can you save by blowing it directly?

The Minister of Industry walked back into the house and knelt down towards the palace with a thud: "My Tang Dynasty has gone through wars and chaos, and now I have finally ushered in a generation of sages! Under His Majesty's guidance, my Tang Dynasty will definitely resume its prosperity! Let all parties surrender. Let all nations come to congratulate!"

The Minister of Industry's eyes were red.

As a senior official in the DPRK, he witnessed the Tang Dynasty from its prosperity to its decline, but there was no way to do it. The pain in the heart of the Minister of Industry can be imagined.

But now, the Minister of Industry has seen hope.

He saw a sage who could bring the Tang Dynasty back to the prosperous world!

The Minister of Industry was very excited.

After a long time, the Minister of Industry stood up.

"Come on!"

"I'm going out!"

The Minister of Industry organized his clothes.

He wants to enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit and tell His Majesty the good news!

He told His Majesty that with gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty, it would be invincible, invincible in attack, and benefit endlessly!

...

Hall of Longevity.

Li Si sat on the throne of the dragon chair and handled the memorial.

At this time, the eunuch came in: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is asking to see you."

"Is it him?"

"Let him in."

Li Si said casually.

soon.

The Minister of Industry walked into the Hall of Longevity excitedly.

"I have seen your majesty, long live your majesty, long live!"

The Minister of Works bowed down to the emperor in a big salute.

Li Si looked at the Minister of Industry: "Get up, it's not the early morning, Aiqing doesn't have to salute like this!"

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the Minister of Industry couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, this old minister is excited."

"Why is Aiqing so excited?"

"Report to your majesty, the gunpowder that your majesty asked the old minister to develop, the old minister has already gained something!"

"According to His Majesty's words, the old minister gathered fireworks together and detonated them instantly. The effect was shocking!"

The Minister of Industry said loudly.

Li Si listened to the words of the Minister of Industry and became interested: "How powerful is it?"

The Minister of Industry immediately said: "Report to Your Majesty, according to the old minister's estimate, it can easily blow through a small hill!"

"A small hill..."

Hearing this, Li Si was slightly disappointed.

With this level of gunpowder, it's okay to deal with ordinary Xiantian realm warriors, but if you face the gods and demons realm, it's not enough!

The circulation of real essence of body protection in the gods and demons can easily resist an explosion of this magnitude!

However, in just a few days, the Minister of Industry was able to develop it to this level, obviously taking the emperor's words to heart and researching it day and night.

"well done!"

Li Si leaned slightly on the throne of the dragon chair and nodded.

"If you are short of money, ask me for it at any time!"

"Then the old minister will retire first!"

The Minister of Industry saluted again, and then exited the Hall of Longevity.

When he left the palace, he turned and glanced at the palace.

The Minister of Industry seems to have seen that in the near future, the Great Tang will surely sweep across the Eight Wastelands and oppress all countries!
