Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"Yes, Your Majesty, why don't you change someone? I think General Yue and the others are quite enthusiastic."

“They are all extremely enthusiastic.”

Princess Changle also echoed.

"That's right, Your Majesty. This is the first time after all. It's too dangerous." Li Xueyan also spoke.

There was worry and fear in their eyes.

It was the first test flight, the first time a plane was flown, and there was no experience in any dynasty. This was really a huge surprise.

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes, smiled and stretched his waist slightly.

"forget it."

"Only I can do this test flight."

"Let them go with the air force?"

"Hahaha...what do they know? Even though Ziyun has been following me all the way to build this plane, in fact, they can only do what I tell them to do with some of the functions and buttons on this fighter. They don't even know how to use them."

"Letting them take off first is definitely a suicide mission, needless to say."

"Let me do it. If I do it, I can succeed. If they do it, all their efforts will be wasted."

"Don't worry, I designed this fighter jet myself. I know exactly how to use it and how to fly it. No one else can do that."

"Not to mention, there is a life-saving system on it, and it can eject and land, so there is no need to worry."

Li Kuan shook his head and politely declined their proposal once again.

He didn't know how many times he had said this in the past few days.

Guo Shoujing was helpless.

Princess Changle and Li Xueyan didn't know what to say.

They really had no way to object to this.

"His Majesty."

At this time, a guard came over hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Li Shimin... Fang Xuanling and others are about to arrive at Yanyun City."

"In addition, Empress Changsun is also among them."

The imperial guards respectfully report this.

Li Kuan nodded slightly when he heard this.

However, Changle next to him was about to jump up.

"Mom is coming? When will she arrive?"

Princess Changle asked hurriedly.

"Your Highness, the expected time is around noon." The guard spoke immediately.

"Oh, isn't it almost time? I'll go pick up mother and the others." Changle stood up excitedly, pulled Li Xueyan and ran out.

"By the way, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you going?"

Changle suddenly remembered and turned to look at Li Kuan again.

Li Kuan smiled and shook his head: "I won't go."

“You…actually you don’t have to go.”

"There are too many people and too many eyes. Besides, they have been in Yanyun City for more than a day and a night. They need to rest."

"Why not go see them in a few days?"

Li Kuan said.

Hearing this, Princess Changle's big eyes flashed with resentment for several times, and then she slowly sat down.

"Yes, Your Majesty is right. I was a little excited."

"I heard that the cars from Pu County to Yanyun City almost never stop?"

"Because the Puxian station is full, there are no seats left at the following stations."

"Mother and the others must be very tired."

As Changle spoke, a look of distress appeared on his face.

"Oh, Changle, it's okay. It won't be a big deal. The Queen and the others are surrounded by Li Shimin and others."

"But it is indeed tiring to sit in the car for such a long time."

"Your Majesty is right. Let them rest for a while."

"Besides, the Queen and her companions came here without informing us. Maybe it's Li Shimin's group who don't want to see us.

"I think we should wait a little longer until they notify us."

"This time, I guess they are all here to see our Dayan fighter jet's maiden flight."

"Let's wait for them and finish our own business first."

"No matter what, Li Shimin and his group are all important officials of the Tang Dynasty. They must have their own considerations."

Li Xueyan also whispered beside her.

"Xueyan is right." Li Kuan nodded.

"That's right." Princess Changle nodded slightly when she heard this.

After all, Empress Changsun and the others did not inform me when they came. If I just took the initiative to go to them, it would easily arouse suspicion. After all, there were so many people coming and going, how could I know so well that they would arrive in Yanyun City at this time?

This is not something that ordinary people can do!
Not to mention, among that group of people, like Fang Xuanling, Pei Ji, Li Jing, etc., which one of them is not a shrewd person?
They can see through some words and some things at a glance. In front of them, you really have to remain a little normal.

"OK then."

"Come on, Xueyan, let's go watch the later part of the movie."

“It’s been so long, and it’s finally going to be released.”

"I don't know whether the people like to watch it or not."

Changle said this and happily pulled Li Xueyan up, instantly forgetting about that incident.

"When it's done, let us take a look first."

Li Kuan smiled and said, "I am the chief screenwriter, I want to see how you shoot it."

"Don't make a mess!"

Li Kuan chuckled.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I guarantee you'll scream out in surprise after you see this!"

Changle made a face and ran out with Li Xueyan.

Li Kuan smiled.

The script of this movie was naturally prepared by Li Kuan. It can be said that it was a series of preliminary preparations that were taught to them by Li Kuan.

Including some basic skills of being a director, etc.

I just don’t know what the final version of this film will look like.

To be honest, Li Kuan was really looking forward to it.

"Your Majesty, are you really not going to discuss the maiden flight?" Guo Shoujing looked at Li Kuan resentfully.

Li Kuan smiled lightly, glanced at him, waved his hand, and stood up. "What the hell are we discussing?"

"Let's go to the airport and see how the preparations are going."

Li Kuan took a sip of tea and stood up.

Guo Shoujing was helpless, but he also knew that this matter could not be changed.

Hey!
He sighed silently in his heart, feeling as if there was a huge stone hanging in his heart. But when he came to his senses, Li Kuan had already walked away.

"oops!"

"Your Majesty, wait a minute."

Guo Shoujing hurriedly followed.

Soon, a black Xia Chi sedan with the license plate number Xiaa*00001 drove out of the imperial city.

It was driven by a royal guard, while Li Kuan and Guo Shoujing sat in the back.

There are hazy curtains hanging on the windows on both sides.

On the busy streets of Dayan, people parted from the crowd and stretched their necks, trying hard to see Li Kuan sitting behind the curtain. Their eyes were filled with anticipation and envy, and of course, more of pride.

It's a car!

Cars on the road!
This is a one of a kind car in Da Yan!!!
"Wow, I finally see a car again. This car is so beautiful, much better looking than a horse-drawn carriage. And, of course, it is much stronger than a horse-drawn carriage. It is made of steel. Two horses probably can't pull it. But this car moves just like that. It's amazing, really amazing!"

"Who says it's not true? Besides, isn't the principle of such a mobile fortress similar to that of a train?"

"What are you thinking? It's much worse. I heard that the engine in this car is not a steam engine but an internal combustion engine. It is much more convenient than a steam engine. As long as it is fueled, it can run for 300 to 400 kilometers. It's very powerful. Of course, it's not as fast as a train. But, I heard that it can run more than 100 kilometers in half an hour, which can beat carriages and horses in seconds. Wow, I'm so envious. I really want to own one."

"Don't worry, there will be a chance. Didn't you read the Great Yan Weekly? His Majesty has already issued instructions. The ultimate goal of this car is to facilitate the people. There will definitely be a chance, but I don't know when. Now I finally understand why this road is so wide. When His Majesty was building the road, I was thinking what's the point of making it so wide? Now, when I drive on it, I really don't think it's wide anymore. I even think it would be better if it could be wider."

"Hahaha, there is no need to doubt any of your majesty's decisions. Your majesty's vision is much greater than ours, and the future he sees is something we cannot even imagine."

"Yeah, hiss...cars, I always think that these things are not much worse than fighter jets, and they are also extremely important to us in Da Yan."

"You're right. Look at those people, hahaha... They all look confused. They must be Tang people. I heard that in two days, our Yanyun City will be occupied by Tang people. Many people are taking the train to watch our fighter jet's maiden flight."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect our fighter jets would attract so many people. But these people are not stupid. They know that this is a great moment that will go down in history books. It is truly an honor for them to witness it with their own eyes."

"...."

On the streets, countless Daxia people looked at the departing cars and talked excitedly.

In fact, there are already quite a few people from the Tang Dynasty on the streets now, and just as the people of Dayan have talked about, they have no idea what this car is.

A monster!

A monster with steel armor!

And it's a moving monster!

hiss….
terrible!

It's terrifying!

It's too incredible!
Many people in the Tang Dynasty had a blank mind, but when they heard the discussions of the people in the Yan Dynasty around them, their minds suddenly became clear.

This is actually the car mentioned in the Dayan Weekly!
Oh my god, is it so magical?
How does this car move when it is not pulled by a horse or a cow?

The people of the Tang Dynasty who had just entered Yanyun City really couldn’t understand it, truly couldn’t understand it.

Li Kuan sat in the car and closed his eyes to rest.

"Your Majesty, this car is so comfortable."

"This is much better than a horse-drawn carriage."

"Be good!"

Although this was not the first time Guo Shoujing had sat on it, he still couldn't help but marvel at it.

Upon hearing this, Li Kuan gently touched the leather under his buttocks. This was real leather, without any deception.

"Tell Heshen to increase the production of cars and add more production lines. The market for this thing is huge."

“Remember, don’t worry about not being able to sell it.”

"Of course, we shouldn't just rely on our past achievements. In the future, all of Xia Chi's improvements and evolutions will be left to them."

Li Kuan said softly.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty.

"Master He is now completely devoted to automobile research."

"We can now produce 50 to 60 units per month, and I'm afraid we can exceed 100 units next month."

Guo Shoujing said hurriedly.

"Well, by the way, don't let him just focus on small cars like this."

"For example, some special carts and trucks used for transportation can also be considered."

"Even some agricultural machinery needs him to complete the work. His task is not easy. I hope that by the beginning of next spring, we in Dayan will have our first agricultural tractor."

"Plowing, planting, harvesting, etc., must all move towards specialization. Only in this way can we greatly increase grain production and improve planting efficiency. Now there is still so much land in Da Yan that has not been developed and has been left undeveloped. I really feel bad for it."

"We need to achieve the goal of one person being able to cultivate ten acres of land with the help of machinery as soon as possible. Now a family can only cultivate more than ten acres of land after working very hard, which is a huge waste of manpower."

"Mechanization is imperative!"

Li Kuan said again.

Guo Shoujing quickly took out the small notebook he carried with him and wrote down everything.

Mechanization!
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his mind felt a little dazed.

To be honest, he has never really thought about applying mechanization to agriculture.
Guo Shoujing understood that His Majesty's seemingly casual words had laid the direction for the future development of Dayan agriculture.

Using machines to cultivate the land, to plow the land, to harvest, and to replace a series of things that only people can do, this... just thinking about it makes people excited.

If this is true, then it will be just as His Majesty said, as long as one has machinery, he can cultivate ten acres of land, or even more. At that time, the agriculture of Dayan will surely enter a period of great improvement!
There is another aspect that Your Majesty mentioned. There are so many wastelands in Dayan. If we only use manpower to cultivate them, it will take a long time to develop them all. However, if we have mechanization, the scene will be amazing!

As Guo Shoujing thought about it, his body couldn't help but tremble.

"It's Your Majesty."

"I will tell His Excellency about this matter. Then, I also want to convene relevant departments such as the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry to discuss this matter together."

"Mechanization, agriculture is also gradually mechanized. If this succeeds, Your Majesty, the grain production of our Great Yan will skyrocket wildly."

Guo Shoujing's scalp felt numb.

Li Kuan felt nothing at all.

He looked at the excited Guo Shoujing and nodded slightly.

He had been thinking about telling Guo Shoujing about this matter after the success of the car, but today he just happened to talk about this point and just said it to start.

Li Kuan had no doubt at all about Guo Shoujing's ability.

As long as I provide them with a direction and lead them to explore unknown areas, I believe they can do the rest, including expansion in all aspects.

After all, this is their duty as subjects.

Otherwise, I would have to take care of every aspect myself and I would be exhausted to death.
