The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 192 Li Muyun's Future
Seeing that Li Shimin's mood seemed to improve, Fang Xuanling lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, there is a small loophole in this Hongling urgent report, I don't know...".

"You're talking about why there are only captives, but no supplies, right?" Li Shimin snorted, "It's probably the fault of that kid Li Muyun again, but forget it, it seems that he is still pragmatic, and he hasn't forgotten the 50 catties. I won't argue with him about steelmaking."

"Your Majesty is magnanimous!" Fang Xuanling bowed slightly, and flattered her a little.

Li Shimin was photographed comfortably, with a smile on his face: "Okay, if there is nothing else, Xuanling will go to work. Xue Yantuo's matter is not a trivial matter, you have to handle it well."

"No, the minister knows!"

……

In the following period of time, there were some explanations about Xue Yantuo's crimes against the border one after another, and they were sent to Chang'an, and the explanations were not much different. It's dealt with.

Because of Li Shimin's order, although the military department was dissatisfied with Li Muyun's detaining more than [-] horses, they didn't say much in the end.

Everyone is well aware of this kind of thing. Judging from the battle report, the military actually did not do anything to accomplish this incident. The credit for getting [-] prisoners of war is already nothing. If you want more horses, it will be unreasonable up.

Tang Jian has been transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs since the last war against Turks, and he has nothing to do all day long. Money matters are not what he is good at. In addition, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is an errand that offends others, so he doesn't do much. Heart.

Now Li Shimin sent him to Mobei again, which was in line with his wishes. Without saying a word, he took his people and set off all the way to Shuozhou, intending to understand some situations before going on an envoy.

……

At this time, Shanyin County is also intensively preparing for steelmaking.

Wang Weiyi agreed to Li Muyun's conditions, and iron ore was being sent to the county continuously through the Wang family's influence.

And with these ores, Li Muyun's plan to make steel began to be put on the agenda.

Under the scorching sun, the small blast furnace by the river was billowing with thick smoke. Groups of peasants carried burdens and poured the iron ore mixed with coke into the upper opening of the small blast furnace, even though they were sweating profusely. Without a break.

In his hand, Li Muyun held a large copper-skinned trumpet made by Blacksmith Zhong himself, and he kept cheering up the peasants, and by the way, he didn't forget to direct the work.

"Muyun, no way! The fire here won't start!" Shirtless, with beads of sweat all over his body, Wang Jie hurriedly ran over from the other side of the small blast furnace.

"If you can't burn it up, use a bellows to blow it up. I don't care what method you use, the fire inside must be burned up." Li Muyun didn't even look at Wang Jie, only shouted, and then looked at the fat man on the other side: "Fatty, are you stupid? Where is the lime I asked you to prepare?"

"It's right behind you, don't bother me, I'm busy too!" The fat man was directing a group of people to install bellows into the air inlet of a blast furnace, and he yelled back with his nose not his face.

After all, it was the first time to make iron, and it was still on such a large scale. Not to mention Shanyin County, even the entire Tang Dynasty had no experience.

So Li Muyun and the others were almost busy kicking the back of their heads, even if they did this, they still did this and forgot that, they just couldn't take care of the head and the tail.

Li Yuan and Yu Zhining sat by the river far away, watching Li Muyun lead Wang Jie, Fang Yizhi, Fatty and the others to live there, smiling very unkindly.

"Zhi Ning, what do you think of my foster son?" Li Yuan asked Zhi Ning with a faint smile as he kept his back straight and had no outsiders around him.

"The Supreme Emperor, waiting for the pure gold and jade in the future, it is difficult for the veteran to judge what he will be like in the future, but judging from his behavior, the veteran believes that if this son does not go on the wrong path, he will be a pillar of the Tang Dynasty!" Yu Zhining said He didn't hesitate at all, even though he was critical of Li Muyun in every possible way on weekdays, he just hated iron but not steel. Now facing old Li Yuan, he didn't mind revealing his true thoughts without any scruples.

After Li Yuan heard what Yu Zhining said, the smile on his face became wider, and he smacked his lips and said, "In my opinion, this kid has a good brain. , Du. It's just...it's just that this kid is so tired and lazy, don't look at him being so busy now, in fact, the central idea is to make himself more comfortable, otherwise he wouldn't work so hard."

"Ah? This..." Yu Zhining couldn't believe his ears, he never expected that Li Yuan would speak so highly of Li Muyun.

"Why, don't you believe me?" Li Yuan glanced at Yu Zhining indifferently, and then said: "Although I dare not say that my old eyes can see through everything, in general, I am still very accurate in judging people. I have been in contact with him for more than half a year, but I still can't see him through."

"Call him smart. Some things are as stupid as a pig. Let's take the sword of the second boy as an example. He would use 50 jin of steelmaking in exchange for a chance to use that sword."

"But call him stupid. The example of designing an ambush for Xue Yantuo this time can clearly tell you that this kid's ability to calculate people is no worse than Li Ji, and the old man thinks that Li Ji can't reach it when he is in his twenties. his current abilities."

These words of Li Yuan seemed to be speaking to Zhining, but also seemed to be muttering to himself.

Listening to old Li Yuan's comments, Yu Zhining fell into deep thought.

Li Yuan was observing Li Muyun, and he was also observing Li Muyun during this period of time, and through this period of observation, he discovered that his student has an extraordinary comprehension ability, as long as he says a lot of things, this student can immediately draw inferences from others. Connect with something in reality.

This ability to learn made Yu Zhining both pleasantly surprised and worried, because if this continues, he can only persist for another half a year at most, and after half a year he will have nothing to teach.

Of course, there is a more serious problem here, that is, this kid actually knows everything, but he deliberately pretends to be confused. This makes Yu Zhining grit his teeth in hatred, but there is nothing he can do about it.

The two old men just sat by the river, staring blankly at the lively and busy construction site not far away, each thinking about their own thoughts, but half an hour passed in their perception, and a burst of noise suddenly broke out among the noisy crowd in the distance. The sound of cheers.
