People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 331 Breeding Industry

Wang Ding took a breath, "Why is it so difficult?"

Li Zheng also said: "This weapon-making sometimes needs inspiration."

"What is inspiration?"

Li Zheng said solemnly: "Inspiration is a very mysterious thing, just like making a compound bow below is a sudden inspiration. Sometimes the inspiration comes, and sometimes the inspiration suddenly goes away."

Wang Ding understood Li Zheng's meaning, but he didn't want to make it, did he?The tea seemed to have lost its flavor, and Wang Ding really wanted to return the silver cake to Li Zheng.

"County Marquis." Wang Ding said again: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to the matter of weapons, and I hope the County Marquis will not be contemptuous. If the County Marquis needs anything, just ask, as long as the court and the army can give it, the County Marquis will be satisfied."

"Is this true?"

Seeing Li Zhengzheng say the four words seriously with a smile, Wang Ding suddenly felt uneasy.

"Actually, I'm not a greedy person." Li Zheng said with a smile, "Why do you have to keep a straight face, Prince?"

Wang Ding smiled bitterly.

Li Zheng said with a smile: "Actually, I don't want much. Two thousand sows, fifty mating boars, and three thousand hens."

Wang Ding: "..."

"Prince?"

"..."

"Wang Gonggong? What's the matter with you, you are talking."

Wang Ding came back to his senses and laughed dumbly, "I dare to ask the county lord, if there is one less pig and one hen, this new weapon cannot be made, right?"

Li Zheng jokingly said: "Then what is the difference between me and being ripped off? The prince should not judge the belly of the king with the heart of a villain. Am I that kind of person?"

"Yes." Wang Ding shook his head stiffly again, "No."

"It's not just some livestock. I think this will not trouble the prince, and I don't ask for money."

Wang Ding thought to himself, if you, Li Zheng, dare to ask for money, believe it or not, it would be too much to turn against you on the spot.

But after thinking about it in his mind, Wang Ding said: "This old slave is too much to say, why does the county marquis have such a special liking for these animals? I know that the county marquis said the same thing last time I refined fine salt."

"Don't hide it from the prince." Li Zheng sniffed and said, "There is a saying that production cannot be separated from economic development, and I have no choice but to do so."

"Did you say that?"

"Does the prince understand?"

Wang Ding shook his head vigorously, "I don't read much, so I don't understand."

"Then I understand." Li Zheng nodded reassuringly, "As long as the prince brings the things, I can not only make three-edged thorns for His Majesty, but also create more new weapons. I also know a kind of dagger that can kill people. Very powerful."

Wang Ding cupped his hands and said: "The old slaves invited by the County Marquis know, and I hope the County Marquis can make all these weapons as soon as possible. Your Majesty can wait, and the generals are also waiting."

"It should, it should." Li Zheng said again and again.

"The old slave took his leave."

"Walk slowly."

Wang Ding left the stables and took out the silver cake in his arms to play with.

Many people have always looked down on eunuchs, and Wang Ding has suffered a lot of indifference in front of those princes, generals and even dignitaries.

Even if he is the closest eunuch to Li Shimin.

Nowadays, only in the conversation with Li Zheng, Wang Ding can feel that Li Zheng respects him every time.

Except for the silver cake he gave, in Li Zheng's eyes, he couldn't see Li Zheng's contempt for him.

"This county is really difficult to deal with." Wang Ding sighed.

After seeing off Wang Ding, Li Zheng began to think about his tricycle.

He brought a carriage wheel, and Li Zheng began to build it according to the tires of later generations.

While measuring various sizes, Li Zheng began to make drawings.

Yan Liben brought a main frame of a tricycle.

"Let Zhang Qi and the others build it, and it will be ready in one day." Yan Liben looked at the finished frame and said, "I don't know what the county lord is doing for it?"

"This is a car." Li Zheng introduced.

"I know it's a car." Yan Liben pondered, "I've seen a lot of cars in my life. According to the appearance on the drawings of the county marquis, I can't figure out why there is an extra wheel at the back of the car."

"That's not the back of the car, that's the front wheel." Li Zhenghe corrected the frame of the car, and said to himself with the front of the car; "That's right."

Yan Liben looked at it and said: "Then it's awkward to use a horse to pull it like this."

"This is called a tricycle, and it can move on its own without the need for animals."

"Is there such a magical thing?"

"Didn't I give you the blueprint?" Li Zheng said.

"I just read the drawings, and you didn't write them." Yan Liben looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

Li Zheng pointed to some parts on the blueprint and said: "This is called a transmission device. It is actually a very simple principle. When you step on the pedal, the chain will move accordingly, thereby driving the axle, and then driving the wheels."

Yan Liben was silent after listening.

"Does Master Yan know any blacksmith?"

"What do you want the blacksmith to do?" Yan Liben continued to look at the drawings, but he was very interested in the transmission device.

"I want a blacksmith to help me build it for me. Anyway, now I have the right to supervise the manufacture of weapons given by His Majesty. I don't feel relieved to leave this matter to others. The quality of the craftsmanship is very important, especially when it comes to making small objects. Master Yan must definitely I know a lot of craftsmen."

Yan Liben put down the blueprint, "You use the right to supervise the manufacture of weapons given to you by His Majesty to build cars? This is not appropriate."

"When marching, the transport of luggage is also indispensable. The efficiency of transporting luggage will also affect the outcome of the battle. I am also for the army of the court."

Yan Liben nodded, "Ever since Master Cui Ren was greedy for ink, the court has always valued the reputation of officials. You should not abuse your power, otherwise impeachment by the court will be inevitable."

"I know." Li Zheng nodded.

"The old man went to Chang'an, but he knew some blacksmiths and brought them for you."

"Thank you Master Yan."

After drawing the blueprint of the wheel, the most important thing is the chain and the wheel. The bearing capacity of the wheel must be strong.

Rims, chains, axles are a lot to build.

After drawing the drawings, Li Zheng picked up a booklet and went back to the village.

The current farming scale in the village is not small, with more than 500 pigs, more than 1000 hens, and hundreds of chicks.

Li Yifu reported to Li Zheng the current farming situation in Jingyang.

Now it seems that it is still possible to meet the population of Jingyang, but if you want to catch up with Li Ji's Longwu army of tens of thousands, the current farming alone will definitely not be able to handle it.

Li Zhengchang sighed, "I thought about farming, but now I'm almost becoming a big farmer."

"Large farmer?" Li Yifu listened to this new word.

If you want to expand the scale of farming, you must first have a large farm, and you need land if you want a farm.

When the scale of farming expands to a certain extent, it must be separated from the villagers' residences.

Looking at the map of his village, Li Zheng thought about it and drew a piece of land at the foot of the back mountain.
