Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 444 Shipbuilding, Thought Extension
In the academy, Wang De, the court chief reappeared, but with a flattering smile on his face.

He didn't dare to despise the old man in front of him at all. Of course, if someone knew about it, he would only treat His Majesty or a few empresses as the chief executive.

"what do you need?"

Shu An murmured softly, with a hint of thought in his words. To be honest, he seemed to be lacking in everything.

Of course, Li Shimin doesn't seem to be able to give what he wants, such as those electronic products of later generations.

After thinking of this, Shu An couldn't help closing his eyes, as if thinking about what else he wanted in this era.

Wang De on the side also didn't dare to disturb, and Hou on the side also had a lot of envy in his eyes.

It would be great if the miscellaneous family could get such a promise from His Majesty, but unfortunately this is impossible.

"The dean must be worrying about what he wants."

Su Dashan looked at this scene from a distance, and his eyes had the same eyes as Wang De's and whispered softly.

Su Dashan has naturally heard about the things in Chang'an in the past few days. You must know that as an odd job in the academy, you still need to purchase a lot of things.

Of course, he also took the opportunity to visit his younger sister. Before these students moved into the academy, Su Xiaomei had followed them to the Princess Mansion.

Naturally, Su Dashan would not stop him. You must know that this is a great opportunity, and Su Xiaomei herself is also very upbeat.

Basically, this younger sister doesn't have to worry, and even this younger sister asked herself to buy a few more clothes and gave herself some silver taels.

He also said a lot about the Princess Mansion, Li Xiuning did not hinder the freedom of Su Xiaomei and others.

There are many people in the Detachment of Women, even if they take turns to take care of the Princess Mansion, it is estimated that it takes their turn once every ten days.

Now Su Xiaomei is mainly studying with the guards of the Detachment of Women, so she is a little nervous about the time.

"When will I be able to become a person like An Xuangong?"

Su Dashan whispered softly, you must know that since entering the academy, many things have been subverted for him.

For example, the supreme majesty in his heart was talking and laughing with the dean.

It can be said that this is not a picture that Su Dashan can't imagine at all, because he never thought that there would be someone who could be on the same throne as this His Majesty.

However, the dean did it, even if Su Dashan was given his whole life, it is estimated that he would not be able to reach such a height.

Shu An didn't know Su Dashan's thoughts, but at this time Shu An opened his eyes and had a lot of thoughts.

"Tell Shimin, if you want a shipyard, as for where, it's best to be Jiangnan."

Shu An's voice sounded slowly. Originally, Shu An had the idea of ​​building a ship. As for why, it was naturally going to sea.

The small boats of this era look like naval forces, but in fact they can only sail on big rivers and cannot withstand the baptism of big waves.

Fortunately, although I am a liberal arts student, I have also studied history, and I still remember the appearance of some European warships in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Of course, there is another point that the shipbuilding technology itself is not weak in this era, but it has not yet begun to set its sights on the world.

So I didn't think about HNA at all, and this time Shu An naturally wanted to be a crab eater.

"Yes, Lord Anxuan, I will definitely convey your words to His Majesty in full."

Wang De respectfully said that what he was most afraid of was that Duke Anxuan would kick this problem back again.

At that time, he will be in a dilemma. Fortunately, An Xuangong is not like this.

Wang De quickly resigned, apparently to go back and reply to Li Shimin, while Shu An continued to fall into his thoughts.

"In this era, the ship technology is leading the world."

"But relying on ships alone cannot guarantee the safety of navigation."

"I'm afraid it will not be easy for artillery, but you can try a large crossbow."

"Wait, it's completely possible to tie the explosive package to the arrow of the bow and crossbow. In this way, it can be regarded as a long-range method."

Shu An's thoughts began to diverge. You must know that he had thought about putting explosives on the catapult before.

It's just that this method is too risky, because if it is not placed properly, it will be accidentally hurting yourself.

On the contrary, it would undoubtedly be much safer to use it on a bow and crossbow. As soon as Shu An thought of this, he wanted to try it immediately.

You must know that there is a gap of 400 years from the application of gunpowder to the application of cannons.

In addition, Shu'an only has one idea, so it is really not that easy to use the cannon for the time being.

But it is completely possible to use a ballista to replace the role of a cannon. Although the power will definitely be much smaller, it is completely acceptable.

"Sure enough, people are old and their brains are not working."

Shu An couldn't help sighing silently, the predecessor of the ballista was the ballista, which was used to fight against the sharp weapon of the Huns.

But it's not that easy to make, so it hasn't been applied on a large scale in this era.

The resources of the Tang Dynasty itself were insufficient, how could there be such things as ballistas, and as time went by.

In fact, the difference in riding skills between Tang people and foreign races is not that big, and naturally the ballista has been eliminated.

"I thought it would be easier this year, but I didn't expect that there are so many things to be busy."

Shu An murmured softly, and then he didn't waste any more time, but sent someone to check the situation of the crossbow machine.

Even Shu An is not very clear about whether the ballista has become a ballista in this era.

There is also the matter of shipbuilding that also requires a lot of effort, and I don't know what Li Shimin thinks.

On the other side, after Wang De returned to the court, he began to report to His Majesty what Duke An Xuan had said.

Of course, Wang De naturally did not hide anything, he said all the words that An Xuangong said, and he didn't even let go of his demeanor before and after.

"Shipbuilding?! What's Yafu's plan?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly and murmured softly, because he didn't understand why Yafu wanted to build the ship at all.

"Your Majesty, does An Xuangong not want Tang to spend too much money?"

Wang De said cautiously on the side, we must know that the Tang Dynasty is stable now, although there are many similar shipyards, they are all left by Emperor Sui Yang.

And it was for making dragon boats. In fact, it didn't help Datang too much.

"maybe."

Li Shimin murmured softly, but he didn't believe that this Yafu would let go so easily.

You must know that many shipyards have been abandoned, and there are not many remaining, but they are not worth much.

But Yafu didn't say what the purpose was, it was to make this emperor have a lot of entanglements.

He wasn't worried about what this Asian father would do to hurt Datang, but he always felt itchy in his heart and wanted to know his purpose.
