Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 473 Shocking, Shu An Who Wants to Change
Although the problems in the imperial examination did not reach the whole Chang'an, some courtiers still knew about it.

How can I say that Li Shimin's purpose is to frighten the officials all over the world, especially those county magistrates in Daozhou, but he doesn't want to make a scene known to everyone.

After all, Datang still needs a little face, otherwise it will be easy to be looked down upon by the people all over the world.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen in Jiangnan."

"I'm afraid I don't know how many people will be involved this time."

"There are some people who don't have long eyes. You must know that His Majesty cares about the imperial examination."

Many ministers talked a lot about this matter, but most of the words were to add insult to injury, and some people even had some thoughts.

Although Jiangnan is not Chang'an, it seems good if he can arrange a place for his family's children or disciples.

Naturally, this matter cannot be hidden from Shu An, so he is not surprised by such a handling.

Li Shimin is not Shu Kuanghu, maybe he will be moved by this friendship for a while, but that's all.

As the king of the entire Tang Dynasty, it is destined that Li Shimin will never have too much affection for him.

Maybe Li Shimin can let go of some insignificant things, but this matter is not that simple.

If it is not done well, it may shake the foundation of Datang, and the punishment is too light, and there may be people to follow suit.

Especially this time, if Li Shi made up his mind, it would basically be seamless.

If Chen Dao, a child from a poor family, disappears, no one will care about it. It is very realistic whether it is in later generations or in this era.

"However, he was sentenced to three years in prison."

Shu An's eyes flickered and he whispered softly, Li Shi would be punished in addition to his fame and his lifetime ban from the imperial examination.

Three years is not too long for a person, but it is not too short. The most important thing is that three years can change too many things.

There is also Li Shi's family, although there is no decree on the surface, but waiting for Li Shimin to send people to the south of the Yangtze River must be another toss.

And when Shu An knew the result, Shu Kuanghu naturally also knew about it, but Shu Kuanghu calmed down.

"Master, Kuanghu wants to go to Jiangnan again."

Shu Kuanghu stood in front of Shu An again and said, no matter what, he still wanted to take care of Li Shi's family.

Perhaps it is a kind of consolation to let them surrender themselves.

"You go, go find Du Ruhui by yourself, and come back as soon as possible."

"If it doesn't pass, then continue to help find some craftsmen."

Shu An shook his head and said, he didn't care about Shu Kuanghu going to Jiangnan.

Instead, he explained some things. He thought everything was too simple before. It is not so easy to build a big ship that can resist the waves.

And the ballista is also not that simple, because this thing is not the mainstream of this era.

In addition, there is another issue of cost. After all, the materials needed for the ballista are not cheap at all.

On the contrary, bows and arrows are very cheap. In this comparison, at least at the current stage of Datang, it is reasonable to choose bows and arrows instead of ballistas.

Just like the previous horseshoes, in fact, they have existed for a long time, but the reason why they have not been used on a large scale is that they are limited by the productivity of this era.

Although Shu An racked his brains on this matter, he had little success. He is not a science student after all.

For example, in the case of iron smelting, iron smelting is generally done by pyrotechnics. Among them, to forge pig iron into steel requires continuous forging.

Needless to say, it takes manpower and time. Among them, Cao Cao spent three years in order to make five hundred steel-making knives.

So one can imagine its productivity. In this era, Shu An naturally wants to do something.

Naturally, Shu An has some unwillingness to give up on iron smelting, but it is a pity that even if he invested a lot of money, there is not much effect.

On the other hand, a lot of progress has been made, and that is the problem of salt.

At this time, salt was very scarce, and many people even used vinegar cloth instead. Unfortunately, Shu An had no chance to think about it in the past few years.

After all, that time was still in the Sui Dynasty, and Shu An's actions were all cautious, like trying to make iron, or waiting for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

As for table salt, there is no need to say more. You should know that because he is not a science student, he doesn't know anything about purification.

At the beginning, Shu An definitely didn't give up. After all, there were quite a lot of poisonous salt mines in the Tang Dynasty, and they were basically abandoned.

It's a pity that no matter how much the experiment was done, Shu An had no choice but to give up.

But in the past few days, Shu An finally remembered that salt does not only come from salt mines.

There is also the sea, he can use the method of drying salt in sea water, although it is not as good as the salt of later generations, it is definitely much better than the coarse salt of today.

The most important thing is that this is still a no-cost business. You must know that there are many places on the sea.

The previous Shu An didn't remember it. After all, he was only a human being, not a fairy or god. It is normal to forget some memories.

Originally, Shu An was still thinking about which guard to go, but now Shu Kuanghu is going to pave the way first in the early stage.

Anyway, the place near the sea in the south of the Yangtze River is not small. If you want to spread salt, then you should circle some land first.

The communication between Shu An and Shu Kuanghu didn't take long, and after the orders were finished, Shu Kuanghu was asked to leave.

Although Jiangnan is much closer than the Lingnan route, it still takes a lot of time. You must know that Shu Kuanghu's heir is about to be born.

It was for this reason that Shu An did not want Shu Kuanghu to leave at this time.

It's a pity that this is the experience Shu Kuanghu needs, and it's still a bit too condescending to follow him.

"Wait, someone will send some supplements to Kuanghu's home."

Finally, Shu An couldn't help thinking silently, even though women's status is not high in this era.

But no matter what, it can be regarded as the third generation of Shu Mansion, and these people will inherit the reputation of Shu Mansion in the future.

So Shu An was very interested in these unborn babies, but he hadn't thought about himself.

In fact, it is still feasible for him to leave an heir now, but Shu An didn't have too many ideas.

The reason is very simple. As a father, it would be a dereliction of duty if you can't watch your children grow up.

Shu An, who inherits the ideas of later generations, does not have the same ideas as Li Yuan, not to mention that there are not a few people who choose not to have children under the price of house prices in later generations.

Under such circumstances, Shu An didn't have too much burden. Anyway, there were so many third generations in the Shu Mansion, which was enough.
