Datang first village

Chapter 497 More and more suspects

In the middle of the night, Wu Zhao came to Chang'an City. While having her suitcase checked, Wu Zhao went to Li Yuanxing's room.

"Aren't you afraid of assassins?" Wu Zhao whispered in Li Yuanxing's ear.

Li Yuanxing was half asleep and half awake, feeling like Wu Zhao, but he was in a dream. "Are there any female assassins, come and get a dozen!"

The more Wu Zhao thought about it, the more unpleasant it became. Many figures flashed in his mind, but he didn't think that Li Yuanxing was really awake. He opened his mouth and bit Li Yuanxing's neck forcefully.

hiss!

Li Yuanxing woke up from the pain. Seeing that it was Wu Zhao, he swallowed back the shout that came to his lips.

"It's a vampire!" Wu Zhao rolled his eyes and rode on Li Yuanxing, with a smile on his face.

"What's the good thing, I'll make you happy!" Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Zhao off, letting Wu Zhao lie down next to him.

Wu Zhao rested on Li Yuanxing's arm: "We need to discuss one thing!"

"Let's talk tomorrow morning!" Li Yuanxing was really sleepy and didn't want to talk.

"Let's build a ship!" Wu Zhao said, but Li Yuanxing didn't speak, because he was really sleepy.But Wu Zhao continued: "I wrote a letter to Brother Cheng, asking him if he had any old wood, and he wanted a big one. He sent someone to write back to me, saying that he had good wood that would satisfy me. !"

Li Yuanxing opened his eyes suddenly: "No, the wood in the Northeast is good, but not enough!"

"I wrote another letter to Feng An!" Wu Zhao smiled wickedly.

Li Yuanxing raised a finger, and when Li Yuanxing opened his mouth, Wu Zhao also said, "Tielimu!"

"However, Feng An didn't know when Tielimu was. I just gave him some special names. Just before I returned to Chang'an, he sent someone to send twenty kinds of wood, including Tielimu, and There are still a lot of very precious and good wood. So, let's build a ship!" Wu Zhao said seriously.

This time, Wu Zhao did not make a private claim, but obtained Li Yuanxing's consent.

"Build the dock first, and try to build a ship of two to three hundred tons. Then build a ship of two thousand tons, which will be easy to use!"

Hahaha.Wu Zhao laughed and rolled on the bed, pointing at Li Yuanxing: "It's terrible to be uneducated!"

"Zheng He's [-]-ton sailboat is almost equivalent to [-] tons. Unfortunately, it is a flat-bottomed boat, and it uses a composite keel. Our boat is not for the river, but for the sea, so Let’s build a [-]-ton to [-]-ton ship first and try it out. Since we are a wooden ship, not a steel ship, [-]-ton ship is worth a try!”

Twenty tons, Li Yuanxing wanted to say it was so small.

"The first steam ship in Chinese history was 55 feet long and had a displacement of about 25 tons. For ships used in the sea, the Zheng He composite keel was not strong enough to withstand strong winds and waves. For a ship of [-] tons, we can only use steel Manufacturing, it is impossible to have that much steel in a few years, and the limit of a wooden ship is [-] tons of displacement, no matter how big it is, it is useless!"

"Create it, all the proceeds of Huazhou belong to Qin Wangfu. Qin Wangfu is responsible for all the expenses of the palace!"

Wu Zhao threw himself on Li Yuanxing and grabbed Li Yuanxing's clothes: "Take Shenyang and occupy Changchun. I want wood, coal, and iron. And I want a super seaport. You know which one I'm talking about."

port!Li Yuanxing felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, because in the later modern times, the ports there did not belong to Huaxia anymore.Thinking of this, Li Yuanxing turned over and got up, lit the candlestick and began to rub the ink.

Wu Zhao immediately ran over to help Li Yuanxing grind the ink.

The first letter was addressed to Feng An.

Li Yuanxing didn't have too many polite words, but just greeted Feng An.Then he directly wrote that the king plans to build a sea-going ship from Hangzhou to your place, looking for a good port, and the king suggested several locations.Then, the amount of wood that Princess Mingyue needs should not be too much, but should be refined. After the sea is opened, Chang'an will prosper, and Lingnan will prosper!

Li Yuanxing signed it and then printed it.

Wu Zhao took the warrant, folded it carefully, and then painted the bag with wax.

"Let me check the location, and then give him a map for him to choose. Because we haven't been there, we don't know how much the Tang Dynasty is different from later generations, let alone whether it is completely controlled by him."

"Don't be stingy, when you send someone to deliver the letter, bring a thousand knives as a gift." Li Yuanxing spread out another piece of paper as he ordered.

Wu Zhao responded, "One thousand knives can be packed in a few boxes. It's better to send another fifty sets of Liannu!"

"Up to you!" When Li Yuanxing spoke, he had already continued to write the second warrant: "Brother Zhijie..."

What Li Yuanxing gave Lao Cheng was a letter, not an order.He only said that Lao Cheng must help Princess Mingyue get the wood. It must be high-quality and aged wood, and it must be complete. Ask Princess Mingyue to tell Lao Cheng the specific requirements.

After finishing the work, I went to sleep again, and it was dawn after this sleep.

Qin Qiong did not affect Li Yuanxing's rest, and waited until Li Yuanxing woke up by himself.

When Li Yuanxing came to the front hall, Cui Junsu and Wang Jishan were there.

"Someone in charge of the Ministry of Households, who is in charge of such a serious matter, must not let it go!" Cui Junsu obviously did not intend to stay out of the matter, and Wang Jishan also said: "The Ministry of Rites is in charge of diplomacy. If such a mess occurs in a small country, the Ministry of Rites cannot ignore it!"

"It seems that things are not simple!" Li Yuanxing said with a smile and sat down.

Someone brought breakfast at the moment, Wu Zhao saluted with the three ministers, then sat aside obediently, eating breakfast by himself.

Cui Junsu said to Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness, the matter is really complicated. I have checked that even if Tuli Khan's tribe sells themselves as steel, they will not be able to sell [-] catties of steel. They only got two steel ingots in total. Thirteen thousand catties, and you can't use it all yourself, sell it all!"

"What is Goguryeo trading for?" Li Yuanxing asked.

"A note has been sent, and someone has sent the news to Liaodong for investigation." Qin Qiong replied next to him.

Wang Jishan also said: "After checking, all the tribes have never obtained so many steel ingots. The Mohe people have the most. They have [-] catties of steel ingots, but among their [-] catties, [-] catties are three Waiting for steel. Four months ago, the Ministry of Households borrowed it from the Ministry of Industry. In order to pay for the military expenses of the First World War in Liaocheng!"

"It seems that the [-] jin of fine steel was not produced by one family." Li Yuanxing also couldn't care less about eating.

"How do you use the phrase Jingsteel in Goguryeo?" Qin Qiong asked.

Wang Jishan didn't answer, and first blamed himself: "The Ministry of Rites will let the envoys stationed in various states secretly investigate this matter. If this matter is committed by multiple states, then these envoys are guilty of lax supervision!"

"Isn't it [-] catties of steel!" Li Yuanxing smiled: "Goguryeo took it, and it's useless."

"Wu Lang is wrong. With [-] jin of steel, taking the new fish scale armor as an example, at least a thousand pairs can be made. With these thousand pairs of fish scale armor, there can be a thousand elite soldiers. These thousand elite soldiers will be A big trouble!" Qin Qiong's attitude is obvious, he is not afraid of swords, only armor.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, individuals can own weapons, but not armor.

Whether it is leather armor or steel armor.

With half a pair of armor, you can be exiled for three thousand miles.

Although the armor of the Tang army is currently distributed to everyone, it is usually not worn.It will be taken out for maintenance every month, and it will be distributed to individuals only during wartime. Whether it is victory or defeat, after the war, in addition to counting military achievements, the most important thing is to count armor.How much was damaged, how much was lost.

"Thirty thousand catties is too little, Goguryeo should have 300 million catties!"

Li Yuanxing's words frightened everyone, and they didn't understand what Li Yuanxing meant.

"Girl, don't patronize eating. Write down a few things!"

Wu Zhao, on the other hand, drank the last sip of porridge unhurriedly, and said word by word: "Jiang Gan's plan to steal books!"

"I remember last time I wrote in a letter that some of them were spies who sneaked in?" Li Yuanxing always smiled at Wu Zhao when he mentioned these words, and Wu Zhao said, "When I go back, I will arrange for someone to make some inferior steel armor, and then With some tricks, the power of the steam cannon will definitely be displayed."

"Plus the siege test, the test on the cavalry." Li Yuanxing continued.

"Then, is it a real blueprint or a fake blueprint?" Wu Zhao asked back.

"Of course it's a real picture. However, it's enough to use a generation of blueprints. This scene has to be done well, and they must be convinced. In this way, those steel Goguryeo people will use it as armor and have more powerful weapons. The Goguryeo people will definitely do it, and this is true!"

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he smiled very proudly.

"Cold War, arms race!" Wu Zhao explained to Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong almost understood: "Since it's a play, then the other party's candidates should be selected. And there don't need to be too many people who escaped back, just a few people are enough, and the rest..." Qin Qiong smiled slightly.

Everyone laughed, this attitude is self-evident, that is one word, kill!

"Only one condition!" Wu Zhao stretched out a finger.

"Let's hear it!" Li Yuanxing glared at Wu Zhao secretly when he was speaking, and his consciousness was that girl, don't mess around.This is a military event, not a child's play.

Wu Zhao didn't regard this as a game, but said very seriously: "You set the principles, and I will handle the details. No one is allowed to control, otherwise I will not go to Yaozhou."

Threats, this is a threat.

Li Yuanxing didn't want to agree, but Qin Qiong immediately said: "I think it's okay, I just cooperate with the killing. Wu Lang said it, and the result is what he wants. Let's do it like that?"

result?Li Yuanxing said in his heart, but we need to see how scheming you girl Wu Zhao is, and whether you are cruel enough.

"Okay, the first result is to involve Goguryeo in an arms race. However, instead of using normal armaments, we need to use armaments that consume huge resources. Of course, people like Zhao Deyan should have a chance to make a fortune. If you want to delay, put Goguryeo has been dragged to the point where it has no money to buy salt!"

Without money to buy salt, this was extremely poor in ancient times.

"The second result, those who are restless. Killing people is too cruel. We, Tang Dynasty, are kind. Send them to the coal mines, there is always a need for manpower!" (To be continued.)
