I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Chapter 163 Steam Engine?Not even a donkey!
Li Shimin's plan to conquer Goguryeo was made public.

Although a little sudden.

But in fact, ordinary people feel a little sudden.

The civil servants above the court were not surprised at all.

Those who can hang out in the political circle of the Tang Dynasty have not had the ability to figure out the holy will.

Li Shimin has been staring at Liaodong longingly for a day or two.

Who can't see what this guy is thinking?
Therefore, after the announcement of the Goguryeo plan, there was not much turmoil in the court.

The various departments cooperated tacitly, and soon all the materials needed for the Goguryeo project were prepared.

Even the imperial edict that Shangshu Sheng was going to issue the next day was probably written in advance.

The eloquent "Edict of Goguryeo" with nearly a thousand characters is written impassionedly.

As for the content, it is nothing more than condemning Goguryeo for its brutality and inhumanity, then bragging about the nobleness and justice of the Tang Dynasty, and finally saying a few words to set things right and save the common people.

Well, that's probably what happened.

When Li Mu received a copy of the edict in Hebei, he happened to be doing research and development at the steel factory.

sizzle...

A burst of white steam leaked out continuously.

Due to the pressure release of the buried boiler, a large amount of steam leaked from the gap.

"Bah bah bah..."

Li Mu quickly spat out the saliva in his mouth, and then directly used the edict in his hand as toilet paper to wipe his saliva, and threw it away after wiping.

"Grass, spicy chicken!"

He frowned slightly, and then checked the seal, no problem!

That is, the smelting quality control is not in place.

Rubbing his temples, Li Mu sighed.

"Hey, when will a qualified steam engine be produced?"

The workers looked at him in fear, for fear that his anger would rise and affect them.

After all, the prestige of Li Mu, Duke of Jingyang, already has a kind of deterrent force invisibly.

Fortunately, Li Mu didn't vent his anger on others, he just waved his hand to make them retreat.

After the workers all retreated, Li Mu lost his majesty.

Restore the essence of its own technical dog.

Begin to summarize the reasons for failure.

I saw him take off his luxurious robe, rolled up his sleeves and copied the thing, then tested and recorded, and started to do experiments.

Technically speaking, the industrial revolution is power, energy, and materials.

The translation is, steam engine, coal, steel.

Although with the existing resources in Li Mu's hands, there is no problem at all in building a steam engine.

However, whether it can be used after it is built is another matter.

Because after building it, you will find that the power output of this thing is not even as good as a donkey.

So, to sum it up, it is useless except for commemorative value.

Sure enough, this would lead to leap-forward development, but it is still not good enough!

Li Mu's current problem is that he can't even mass-produce decent wrought iron, let alone other things.

Fortunately, steel has been produced on a large scale.

No, the armor and weapons needed to conquer Goguryeo this time fell on him.

As long as Li Mu is willing, he can directly arm the Liao soldiers to the teeth.

As long as the soldiers have no physical problems.

Even the knife that the cook uses to chop vegetables can be made of fine steel.

As long as Li Shimin is willing to pay.

Of course, the issue of production must also be considered.

Fortunately, Li Mu has been preparing in advance for the conquest of Goguryeo, and the output may still be a little weak.

But it doesn't matter, the iron ingots in stock at this time have already broken through the small target of one million catties, which is enough to cope with the battle of the Liao Dynasty.

It is a pity that the steam engine experiment has failed to make a breakthrough.

"Oh, forget it, let's treat it as technology accumulation!"

After sighing, Li Mu packed up his things and went home.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Uncle Fu came to report.

"My lord, Li Dalang has been waiting for a long time."

"Li Zhen?"

"Exactly!"

Li Mu nodded, washed his face and hurried into the hall.

"Dalang, what do you want from me?"

When Li Zhen saw Li Mu coming back, he hurried over to greet him.

"I have seen my brother."

"Dalang is free."

"Brother, younger brother has something important to discuss."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Li Mu took a sip of tea from his teacup and moistened his throat.

"It's about your lord."

"Is it the British father?"

"Exactly." Li Zhen nodded and said.

"But about the conquest of Goguryeo?"

Li Zhen's eyes lit up immediately.

"Brother predicts things like a god."

Li Mu smiled slightly, I pretended to have time traveled enough, and I dare not say anything about things like a god, isn't it difficult to know something about the plot in advance?
Then Li Zhen continued, "Your Majesty has received news that His Majesty has drawn up an edict to lead the army to conquer Goguryeo with Your Excellency as the Chief of the Liaodong Road Camp."

"Oh, that's a good thing!"

"If you can make meritorious deeds, of course it is a good thing, if you fail, I'm afraid..."

Li Mu patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry Da Lang, with me around, I will definitely not let Li Gong lose."

Li Zhen was overjoyed when he heard the words, he came today to ask for a promise from Li Mu.

Being a cavalier by Li Mu's side these days, he knows Li Mu's ability very well. If he can get Li Mu's help, then his father's chances of winning this time in the conquest of Goguryeo will increase by several points.

As a son, of course he hoped to share his father's worries, so he came to ask for a promise.

"But Dalang, I can't give away resources for nothing. Li Gong will naturally have to give something when he gets the resources. I hope you can understand this."

According to Li Mu's best choice, it should be to choose the general manager of the Pyongyang Daoxing Camp as the partner of cooperation.

Because the general manager of the Pyongyang Road Camp is in charge of the waterway, it is more suitable for his route than the land route of the Liaodong Road.

But it is a pity that Zhang Liang, the head of the Pyongyang Road Camp in charge of the waterway, is not very familiar with him.

Well, to put it bluntly, there is no friendship at all.

Therefore, if Li Zhen's father intends to cooperate, then he would rather choose to cooperate with acquaintances.

Besides, Lulu also has acquaintances such as Zhang Gongjin, Shi Danai, Su Lie and so on.

He didn't want to change partners unless he had to.

"Brother, don't worry, my younger brother will convince you. Brother, just wait for my good news."

Li Mu smiled and nodded.

In fact, he is quite willing to cooperate with Li Ji.

After all, according to the development of the plot, a big man like Li Ji will definitely succeed Li Jing and Li Tianwang as the next heavenly king in the future.

This level of big cows, cooperation is the most enjoyable, follow-up benefits a lot!

"Well, I believe in Dalang, by the way, how will His Majesty arrange for Tuyuhun?"

"It will be finished by Duke Hou."

"Oh!"

Li Mu nodded, that's right, after all, Hou Junji had put in so much effort before, so he couldn't just let his credit go away like this!

After all, I have to leave some soup for him to replenish.

If it weren't for Lao Hou, who might be a ticking time bomb in the future, Li Mu really wanted to continue to cooperate with him in depth.

Thinking about it now, forget it, it is a good thing to get rid of the relationship earlier, so as not to be implicated in time.
