Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 217

Li Ke will not share the technologies of explosives, steel, and steam engines with Western countries.

Let alone Western countries, this is a secret within the Dragon Kingdom.

How could such an important secret be given to Western countries like this?
After all, these technologies are in the hands of Li Ke, which is of great benefit to the Dragon Kingdom.

If foreign countries learn from it, it is very likely that the Dragon Kingdom will be put in danger.

In particular, steel and gunpowder are two things that are directly related to national security and must not be controlled by outsiders. They are also the two most strictly controlled technologies by Li Ke.

The Arab Empire, the Frankish Empire, and the envoys of the Byzantine Empire all looked at each other at this moment, not knowing what to do for a while.

After all, the purpose of their coming here is for these three important technologies.

As for the seeds of melons, fruits and vegetables, and the technologies of making salt and sugar, through some methods, they can be obtained among the people, and there is no need to spend so much time negotiating with Li Ke.

However, now Li Ke's attitude is very firm.

The envoys of the three countries did not dare to say anything more.

After all, there are lessons learned about such incidents.

They also learned that some countries also proposed to Li Ke to buy these technologies before, but Li Ke refused. These countries were dissatisfied and opposed Li Ke.

But in the end, it's not going well.

If you want these three technologies of Dragon Kingdom too much, then Li Ke is very likely to be angry because of this and blame Western countries.

For Western countries, Li Ke's steel, bombs and very convenient trains are definitely the three treasures to conquer the world.

They don't think that they can avoid war with Dragon Kingdom if they are far away from Dragon Kingdom.

Li Ke looked at the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, and immediately said flatly:

"Is there anything else for the three of you?"

This is obviously to drive them away.

Seeing that the envoys of the three countries saluted one after another, saying that there was nothing to do, they all resigned and left.

After the three envoys left, Li Ke could only laugh and say:
"I clearly know that these three things are important to the Supreme View of the Dragon Kingdom, but I still want to take them from me? What a fool's dream."

Wu Meiniang said while pouring tea:

"I think they are western countries, far away from Dragon Kingdom, so I think His Majesty won't guard against them."

Li Ke sneered and said:

"How could it be unprepared? Although the distance is far away now, with the development of the times, all kinds of advanced things will come out. Distance will not be a problem sooner or later.

Now if I give them these advanced things, after time, after solving the problem of distance, then these western countries are no different from the enemies at the door, so we have to guard against them. "

Wu Meiniang also felt very reasonable.

The two of them stopped talking about this topic.

At this moment, Wu Meiniang looked out the window.

In the sky, there is light snow.

Blossoming snowflakes fell to the earth.

"Another winter is coming."

Li Ke sighed and said to Wu Meiniang:

"Hasn't the railway been successfully built? After this period of time, a lot of grain should have been transported to the southwest. While transporting the grain, let the household department also add some coal to the southwest, so that the people there When the government distributes grain, it also distributes some coal evenly.”

……

In winter, it is not just enough to survive.

Wu Meiniang got up and followed Zhao Like's wishes, and immediately went to execute it.

Within the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, the four seas are now peaceful, and the east, west, north, south, and eight directions are subject to surrender.

In the whole of Asia, almost all the territory has become the Dragon Kingdom.

Even the Daughter Kingdom, which was in a semi-hidden state, has now completely belonged to the Dragon Kingdom.

Although it still retains the title of the Daughter Kingdom, it is actually the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, and the king of the Daughter Kingdom is more like a vassal of a place in the Dragon Kingdom.

After all, the territory of Daughter Country is full of women, and Li Ke is not going to revoke their title of a country within a country.

It's winter again, and almost all the people in the Dragon Kingdom no longer have to endure the threat of hunger and cold.

It has truly realized the true meaning of the four words Guotai Minan.

Li Ke feels that there are almost no big things in the country now that need him to worry about.

As for whether to fight against Western countries in the future, that is also a matter for the future.

Now he doesn't want to think about it. After all, even if he wants to conquer the western countries, he has to wait for the railway to be laid in the west.

Some places even have to cross the ocean.

Li Ke is still young, and the Dragon Kingdom still needs to develop. One day, when the traffic on the sea and on the ground becomes very developed, it may be the time for Li Ke to send troops to the west.

He didn't know if he could really unify the whole world, but if he did, it would definitely become a legend.

In this regard, he actually had a little expectation.

Of course, what needs to be considered right now seems to be how to spend this Spring Festival well.

The snow fell more and more, almost rendering the entire capital city silvery white.

Li Ke stood on an attic of the Dragon Kingdom Palace, looking down,

The entire capital is covered in silver.

In the capital city, on the criss-cross streets, there are still countless people, unable to bear the loneliness of winter, walking through the streets.

This is life, and the people live a very comfortable life.

A satisfied smile appeared on Li Ke's face!
This feeling is really good.

Wu Meiniang and Jin Yan did not know when they stood behind him.

There are countless delicacies on the table next to it.

There are quite a few court ladies around, serving Li Ke quietly.

Turning around, after sitting down, let Wu Meiniang and Jin Yan also sit down, and immediately picked up the chopsticks and chatted and laughed with his two women.

Originally, this scene was very comfortable, but when I was eating happily, I heard a maid stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, General Cheng Chumo asks to see you."

Li Ke hurriedly said:

"Let him come up!"

Not long after, Cheng Chumo, wearing a long robe, went up to the balcony, cupped his hands to Li Ke, and shouted:
"His Majesty!"

"You came to see me suddenly, what's the matter?"

Cheng Chumo looked very serious, nodded and said:

"Yes, in the past few days, many important people have died inexplicably in the gunpowder factory and the steel factory. At first, I thought it was just a simple murder. But now, I feel that this should be a very serious matter!"

Li Ke frowned and said:
"Some people were frequently killed in the steel factory and the gunpowder factory. What's going on?"

Cheng Chumo said: "Some people responsible for the core technology were killed, and the preliminary judgment is that someone obtained the technology of steel and bombs from them.

But the people in the steel factory and gunpowder factory have all been professionally selected and trained. They have absolute loyalty to Longguo, and they will never leak the secrets of the court.

So I think they were unwilling to reveal the secrets about gunpowder and steel, so they were killed by the other party.Also we caught one person. "

Cheng Chumo said, and with a wave of his hand, two guards came up slowly with a man in black.

Immediately, Cheng Chumo stepped forward and lifted the clothes on the right shoulder of the man in black, only to see a coquettish red Bana flower embroidered on the back of his right shoulder.

Li Ke frowned, and the next moment three words appeared in his mind!

Li Jing door!
Then I heard Cheng Chumo say:

"Your Majesty, this pattern and symbol and the location of the pattern indicate that this person is a member of the mysterious organization of the Tang Dynasty, the Lijingmen."

Li Ke narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"Lijingmen, I know. Like the bad guys back then, it was founded by Li Er. As a special organization in Tang Dynasty, Lijingmen has always existed in secret. It is similar to Jinyiwei in Ming Dynasty and Xuedizi in Qing Dynasty. "

Wu Meiniang and Cheng Chumo understood what was said earlier.

But the Qing and Ming dynasties, as well as Jin Yiwei and Xuedizi, they are a little unclear.

Li Ke's expression was serious, and he said:
"The Lijingmen has always obeyed the orders of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty. Li Er is dead, Li Chengqian is dead, and Li Tai is also dead. The Lijingmen suddenly appeared. Who is in control?"

As he spoke, he looked at the man in black, who also looked at Li Ke, and immediately the corner of the man's mouth began to bleed.

He showed a tragic smile!

Seeing this, Cheng Chumo roared angrily:
"No, he has a poison pill in his mouth."

But it was too late now, and the man in black stared at Li Ke and said:
"This is the world of Tang Kingdom, my master will return soon and take over this world from you.

At the same time, I would also like to thank you for making the territory of this world so large and governing it so well..."

After finishing speaking, his eyes rolled over, and there was no movement.
