The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 351 National Infrastructure, Cultural Square Cuju Field

Li Chengdao's generosity shocked all the craftsmen.

This reward is extremely generous for any craftsman!
Zhang Da was startled and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the common people just proposed an immature idea. The ones who actually made the grenades were the supervisors..."

Li Chengdao smiled and said: "I will naturally reward Xu Mo and the others for their contributions, but in my opinion, innovative thinking and creativity are more important. You deserve this reward."

Everyone can follow the rules, but not everyone can think innovatively.

Li Chengdao intended to cultivate the pioneering and innovative spirit and thinking mode of the craftsmen of the Metallurgical Manufacturing Bureau.

It is said that a thousand pieces of gold buys horse bones. Such a generous reward to Zhang Da also shows that he attaches great importance to it and stimulates the creative enthusiasm of other craftsmen.

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Da was so moved that he immediately bowed down and saluted.

Li Chengdao smiled slightly, then looked at the many craftsmen present, and said: "I hereby promise that in the future, as long as any of you can come up with valuable ideas and ideas, whether they are used for people's livelihood or the military, as long as they are adopted, I will Rewards will be given according to the degree of value, and the highest can be a title of nobility, and enjoy food and property!"

Li Chengdao's words immediately made all the craftsmen excited. Their faces were all red and their eyes were shining.

Although the salary in the Smelting Bureau is already very generous, who doesn't want to win a bigger reward?

Especially when he is personally rewarded by His Majesty, and can even be knighted at the highest level!This is a supreme honor!

Seeing the reactions of these craftsmen, Li Changqing nodded secretly in his heart.

The ancient craftsmen did not lack wisdom, but were too rigid in their routines. All he needed to do was to make them think actively and innovate more.

Only when there are more and more craftsmen like Zhang Da can the Smelting Bureau's technical strength improve faster.

"However, in my opinion, this grenade still needs to be optimized, such as installing some iron pieces, iron sand and the like inside, so that it will be more lethal after the explosion..."

Li Chengdao picked a few points and said.

"Mix iron pieces into the grenade?"

Hearing Li Chengdao's suggestions for improvement, Zhang Da and the craftsmen were immediately stunned, and then they couldn't help but imagine the power of a thunder bomb explosion...

Each of them could not help but feel a chill in their backs.

That kind of thing is simply a nightmare for all soldiers on the battlefield!

Under the strong kinetic energy after the explosion, the penetrating force of the iron sheet can easily tear apart armor and the human body!
"Your Majesty is indeed an extraordinary person, to have such an idea."

Xu Mo admired in his heart, and at the same time admired Li Chengdao's unconstrained thinking and unique vision.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengdao talked about his suggestions for improving firecrackers and artillery.

"Although these two weapons are not strong now, they have great potential."

"Take artillery as an example. If the iron ball fired is replaced by a cannonball, which is a large grenade, and it explodes in the enemy's formation after being fired, what kind of power will it have?"

"If you are worried that the impact of the launch will detonate the bomb, you only need to thicken the bomb shell..."

"In addition, regarding the fire blunderbuss, change the projectiles to..."

Li Chengdao was a librarian in his previous life and had read a large number of books, including the history of the development and manufacturing of artillery and firearms in the early and middle periods.

He explained the contents and principles in a different way to Xu Mo and others.After hearing this, the latter was extremely shocked, as if the door to a new world had been opened!
Under Li Chengdao's guidance, the thermal weapon technology of this era has gradually entered the right track.

After his birthday, Li Chengdao plunged into a new round of busyness.

Datang's current development has reached a bottleneck stage.

The development of a country is divided into several stages, the first stage of which is regime stability;
The second stage is when the army is strong and the people are prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the economy is highly prosperous.

Looking at the various dynasties in Chinese history, most of them only achieved the first step, and not many could achieve the second step.

This is an inevitable limitation of imperial politics. The wisdom of the king directly determines the strength of the country.

Sometimes a foolish king can directly set back the country's national strength for decades.

The third stage is to vigorously develop infrastructure and cultural and spiritual construction.

Today's Tang Dynasty has reached this stage.

In other words, Li Chengdao took this step as his stage goal from the beginning.

The experience of later generations told Li Chengdao that the development of infrastructure is very necessary for the country.

Only by enriching people's cultural life can the country develop in a diversified and diverse way, with greater potential and more possibilities.

To this end, Li Chengdao specially prepared a plan.

Royal study.

"Build a cultural square, library, and Cuju venue?"

Wei Zheng said with astonishment on his face after reading the plan written by Li Chengdao.

“Yes, these entertainment facilities need to be constructed nationwide, initially in major capitals, and then widely promoted.

Li Chengdao nodded and said.

After hearing his words, the ministers in the imperial study looked at each other in awe.

Du Ruhui couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, it is understandable that building a library is an act to promote education.

But what is the use of these cultural squares and Cuju courts that provide entertainment activities? "

Not only Du Ruhui, but also Changsun Wuji and Jia Xu didn't quite understand Li Chengdao's plan.

After hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li Chengdao smiled slightly and said: "Now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer suffer from hunger and poverty.

But these alone are not enough, it is also necessary to enrich people's lives. "

Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment and then said: "But implementing these construction plans will consume a lot of manpower, material and financial resources."

"so what?"

Li Chengdao raised his eyebrows, "Wealth is to be taken from the people and used for the people. What's the use of piling it all in the treasury?"

Changsun Wuji was speechless by Li Chengdao, and finally had no choice but to agree.
