Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 726 Willow Runs Away
Li Shimin had seen that ship, and about one-sixth of the space on the ship was occupied by machines, plus the operation room, coal storage, water storage, etc., one-third of a ship was occupied by steam engines.

According to the design of willow, the steam engine occupies at most one-tenth of the ship or even less.

So this boat can only be used as a tugboat except for the willow wood as a toy.

The rest of the space is used for coal loading and boatmen's rest and living area, which is enough to travel from Yangzhou to Chang'an at one time.Liumu now needs to add coal several times along the road to reach Yangzhou, and there are too few coal bunkers.

In Chang'an, the officials of Datang spent five full days studying before they figured out what the steam engine could bring to Datang.

As for the name, the name Steam Engine is top secret.

In Li Shimin's study, only the nine important ministers are eligible to participate in this highest-level meeting.

The nine important ministers are naturally Shangshu Sheng's left and right servants, six ministers, and Qin Qiong.Qin Qiong's current status can be understood as the top person in charge of the Supreme Security Department of Datang.

Xiao Yu suggested: "Sages, the Supreme Council, I think it is better to expand the nine to thirteen."

"It seems that you already have a proposal?" Li Shimin asked.

Fang Xuanling took out an official document and sent it to Li Shimin, saying:

"The sages, ministers, etc. thought that there were four more people, namely, Si Nong Temple, who was about to be separated from the Ministry of Households, and promoted to half a level lower than the Six Departments, Daoyun Temple, who was about to be separated from the Ministry of Industry, and who was about to be separated from the Ministry of Rites. The separated Hongwen Temple, as well as the new Habayashi Guard after being transferred from the Ministry of War, Shence Guard, and Imperial Army to supplement the strength of Wenyue Pavilion."

"Where is the candidate?" Li Shimin asked again.

Fang Xuanling said that the document contained everything.

Li Shimin turned to the back and saw that Dou Jing was the official of Sinong Temple, and from the third rank, he was directly responsible to Shang Shuxing.

Then Daoyun Temple is in charge of the construction of rivers and roads, and the recommended candidate is Wen Yanbo.This is the youngest of the three masters of the Wen family, but also the most talented.

Next, the candidate recommended by Hongwen Temple is Su Shichang.

Although Yu Shinan is more famous, but Yu Shinan is super talented and lacks management ability.So Su Shichang is the most suitable candidate.

"Is the last person still undecided?" Li Shimin saw Habayashi Wei Kong.

"Saint, I recommend Li Zhang's Chuchen!" Cui Junsu reported Zhang Chuchen's name.

In the Tang Dynasty, a woman was an official, and after she had an official position, she would have an external name, which was different from the boudoir name used when she married.But Zhang Chuchen was born in Lulin, and his name is well known in the world, so she reported this name.

As for whether she has a name that only Li Jing knows, no one will ask.

"My minister agrees."

As for the first Chief of the Habayashi Guard, four officials participated in the second meeting, and Zhang Chuchen was in charge.

This made Li Shimin tangled up instead.

Because Li Jing is a military officer at the marshal level, and his wife is the top intelligence officer, and she is also a woman, Li Shimin is afraid that the officials will not accept this matter.

"Well, the husband and wife both hold important powers. It's not that I don't trust it, but what the officials think. What do they think of the Admonition Pavilion that is still under construction?"

Li Shimin was very tangled.

Qin Qiong gave a suggestion.

"Sage, I think that a clan should be chosen as the official, and then Zhang Chuchen will be the first adjutant."

Then, Fang Xuanling immediately proposed: "I think Li Daozong is the clan. He has extraordinary ability and can convince the public. I recommend Li Daozong."

Qin Qiong felt embarrassed and regretted the proposal just now.

Qin Qiong immediately said: "I think..."

Li Shimin interrupted Qin Qiong: "Shubao don't worry about it, you are just worried about the relationship between Li Daozong and you, but think about it, Li Daozong is still my younger brother. It's just him. When he returns from the Western Expedition this time, Let's make it official."

"The saint is wise."

At this time Xiao Yu said again: "I have another proposal, to bring back Uncle Changsun Guo."

"No way, Liu Mu is lazy, his strategy is outstanding, and his tactics are ridiculous. The past three years of Wa Dao are related to our Tang Dynasty's plan for the next century. Wuji must keep Wa Dao dead for me, and even I have to choose a few more capable ones. People go to assist, and there is no room for mistakes in the matter of Wa Island."

Li Shimin knows more than everyone here.

What did the little Japanese do? Liu Mu counted a terrible number for Li Shimin, that is, after the Japanese learned their skills from the Tang Dynasty, they started to fight the Tang Dynasty before Li Shimin died. China has fought wars for more than 1000 years and has never stopped.

Never forget to invade the Central Plains.

Li Shimin wants to do something for future generations. Now he not only supports the genocide plan he conceived, but Li Shimin has done it even more. He defines the Japanese as a resource colony, from minerals to raw materials, to soldiers, maids and so on. In short, Li Shimin wants Break the waist bones of the Japanese people, so that they will learn to bend down and be human in the next 1000 years.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Li Shimin stopped the topic of adjusting officials.

Li Shimin stood up, and what he took out was Liu Mu's treasure.

"I've seen this thing several times, and I always thought it was a toy, or a good thing for Liumu to consider for defense, until I added these." When Li Shimin was speaking, he placed a model train on the willow tree. On the huge sand table moved there.

"After I really understood this thing, I couldn't sleep for several days at night. I don't care so much, I will start repairing the bridge within three months. It will take a year or a year and a half to repair the bridges on Jingyang and Weihe Rivers. , It will take another year to build the railway. Even if it can only be used as a trial road for Huolong, I will."

No one objected to this costly resolution.

Liumu threw a million guan into it for an iron donkey, then the iron bull, and then the fire fish, the fire dragon.It took two or three years to spend millions of dollars to build a railway.

Even as Li Shimin said, it's worth it for Huayuan's fire dragon experiment.

At the same time, it can also accumulate experience in repairing railways.

"Sage, this kind of strategic weapon may be destroyed by people with bad intentions." Yao Silian expressed his anxiety very nervously.

Qin Qiong said loudly: "Yao Gong, I still have the power to fight."

"Misunderstanding, Shubao, you have misunderstood. What I mean is that those who intend to sabotage may not necessarily do it in Huayuan. There must not be enough steel in Huayuan. Gangfang District. For example, Xingzhou Gangfang.”

"What Yao Gong said is very true, I misunderstood."

Li Shimin also nodded: "Very good, Shubao, please make arrangements. Anyone who dares to shake the foundation of my Tang Dynasty, or a certain state, my Tang Dynasty will never let it go."

"The minister takes orders."

The fire dragon refers to the super-high-power steam engine that drives the locomotive. According to Liu Mu's vision, it must reach at least two thousand horsepower to be considered a locomotive.

　Sorry, sorry, I forgot the time of the code word, and I just noticed that I forgot to post it today.
