The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1163

[Chapter 1163: Testing]

The emperor saw Lin Tian’s cautious look, and he couldn’t help but get nervous. I don’t know if it was Lin Tian’s illusion, but at this moment, Lin Tian also felt the excitement or nervousness in the emperor’s heart. When

Lin Tian thought of this, he turned his head and looked at the emperor, and then continued to extend the fire stick to the fire line of the firecracker.

When the firecracker touched the flame of the fire stick, it also burned violently. Lin Tian also quickly closed the fire stick, got up and ran away, covering his ears with both hands.

The emperor saw Lin Tian’s appearance at this moment, although it seemed very funny, but the emperor did not laugh, because Lin Tian had created too many miracles in front of him, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a legend, so Ah Hua Shang still watched Lin Tian’s demonstration with great expectation. With

a loud “bang”, the bamboo tube firecracker on the ground exploded, and the bamboo tube was gone. There was only a white smoke left in the original place, so the emperor’s face was full of shock when he saw this scene.

Since the emperor had not had any firecrackers from the Ministry of Construction before, he did not know the power of the firecracker explosion. When he saw Lin Tian’s demonstration, his face was full of surprise.

Because he could not believe that such a small thing, just filled with some black powder, could produce such power. He could not believe it in his heart, and he was more certain of his opinion of Lin Tian.

“Your Majesty, now you have seen the power of this gunpowder, this is what I call the power of gunpowder, and after a certain treatment, it can even achieve a greater explosive power. I don’t need to say more about the impact at that time.”

After seeing the white smoke and hearing the sound of firecrackers, Lin Tian came to the emperor, saw the emperor with a shocked face, and spoke to the emperor.

After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the emperor came back to his senses. Just before Lin Tian spoke, Huang Sha had already thought of other uses for this gunpowder, and it can even be said that he brought the role of this gunpowder to its fullest.

“Wow, Lord Lin, you are so talented. You are the lucky star of my Yan State.”

After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the emperor thought that the future of gunpowder would be limitless, and even anticipated the development of gunpowder in the future, so he spoke to Lin Tian.

At this moment, the two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke, because they had already thought of a bold and arrogant idea.

The emperor and Lin Tian saw the incomparable greed and arrogance in each other’s eyes, and then they all showed a knowing smile on their faces.

“I don’t know what Lord Lin is laughing at?”

After seeing the smile on Lin Tian’s face, the emperor asked Lin Tian.

“I thought of something that I shouldn’t think of now, so I couldn’t help laughing. I don’t know what your majesty thought of, and laughed so happily.”

Lin Tian answered vaguely, and then asked the emperor. At the same time, Lin Tian was also guessing in his heart, wondering if the emperor thought the same as he thought.

“As for me, I also thought of something that I shouldn’t think of now, so I couldn’t help laughing.”

When the emperor heard Lin Tian’s ambiguous answer, he understood in his heart that Lin Tian might have thought of something similar to what he thought, so he answered Lin Tian.

When the two talked about this, they looked at each other again, and then smiled knowingly. Outsiders who didn’t know would probably think that the two had an improper relationship after seeing this scene, and they were in a state of shyness now.

“Lord Lin, now our Yan State has entered a stage of recuperation, and the crops you invented will probably make the Yan State’s treasury rich by next year, and then the people’s food and clothing problems will naturally be solved.

To be honest, since I met you, you have brought me too many shocks, and the benefits you have brought to Yan State have reached an extremely high level. Even if I give up my position to you now, I’m afraid the officials in the court will not have any objections.”

The emperor said to Lin Tian while walking towards the garden, and did not want to continue to return to the study.

Seeing the emperor like this, Lin Tian also followed the emperor and had no intention of leaving for the time being, because Lin Tian had another question in his mind that needed to be confirmed with the emperor.

That is, after Lin Tian demonstrated the power of gunpowder to the emperor, neither the emperor nor Lin Tian mentioned this topic again, so both of them guessed that the other party had something on his mind and must have some intention of tricking the other party.

The reason why Lin Tian wanted to show the power of gunpowder to the emperor was not only to let the emperor know the existence of gunpowder, but also to let the emperor use the troops of Yan State to help Lin Tian mine the raw materials for making gunpowder.

The reason why Lin Tian did this in his heart was indeed that Lin Tian had some selfish motives. He wanted to achieve a monopoly on the raw materials for gunpowder in certain aspects. After all, if Lin Tian wanted Yan State to become rich and strong in a short period of time, then he mainly needed certain means to strengthen the overall strength of his country.

Since the gunpowder had been made, Lin Tian would certainly not waste it in vain, but Lin Tian thought of the current situation of Yan State in his heart, so he wanted to let the emperor start hoarding the raw materials for making gunpowder now.

By doing so, Lin Tian will have more means to deal with other countries in the future, allowing Yan State to have the ability to protect itself in this dynasty.

So when Lin Tian heard what the emperor said, he understood what the emperor was thinking, and he also understood that the emperor wanted to get the method of making gunpowder from Lin Tian.

In Lin Tian’s memory of his previous life, he had read many classics, so he also understood the truth that people’s hearts are hard to predict. If he did not hand over the method of making gunpowder, it would threaten the emperor’s position.

“Your Majesty, I am terrified.”

So after hearing what Huang Shao said, Lin Tian quickly knelt on the ground, put his hands on the ground, and then said to the emperor in a very loud voice.

“My dear Lin, please stand up quickly. Why are you doing this?”

The emperor saw Lin Tian’s actions and quickly helped Lin Tian up. He looked confused and asked Lin Tian,

“Your Majesty, I have no intention of becoming an official. My usual hobby is just inventing some weird little gadgets. As long as I am happy, that’s all.”
