Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 23 The new emperor is the third prince Li Ke
The special forces built a place in a mountain behind the palace, and asked the Ministry of Industry to build a firearms factory, which was under the direct jurisdiction of the special forces.

After all, with this group of special forces, whether it is the manufacture of gunpowder or the administration, it is much more credible.

As for steel forging, it is already in progress.

In a few days, batches of steel have come out.

Li Ke ordered that it should be used to forge weapons first. After all, a country needs to be guarded first.

To protect a country, one needs to be armed.

In this world, warriors and scribes are good, but to truly conquer the world, soldiers will be the main force.

Most soldiers are only better than ordinary people. In addition to training, they are weapons.

Just imagine, your enemy is holding iron, and you are holding steel. Which one of you has the better weapon?

it goes without saying!

In addition, in addition to being used as weapons, steel can also be used to create muzzles, and with flames, cannons can be made.

Secondly, it can also be used for construction.

After all, there are enough steel resources in this world.

In a few days, Li Ke's emphasis on flame production, steel forging, agricultural development and industrial development were all quickly implemented.

As for the other small matters, Wu Zhao will help them deal with them.

As a later generation, Wu Zhao, who would have become the empress, is very capable in helping Li Ke handle government affairs.

As for Li Ke, he began to think about how to make good salt and sugar.

For a country, the location of salt is very important.After all, everyone wants to eat.

At this time, salt is in Datang, which is not something ordinary people can eat.

Most people just use coarse cloth instead of salt, not to mention the taste and sourness.

Therefore, Li Ke is going to use his advantage as a traverser to solve the problem of salt, so that the people of the Dragon Kingdom can eat salt and even export salt.

Fortunately, the east of Longguo is close to the sea.

You can get sea salt over there, and get salt by drying the clean sea water.

This is simple, if the method is taught correctly, let them filter the seawater a few more times, and then dry the salt, basically you can get good salt.

The second is to look for salt lakes in China, which is also drying salt.

There are also salt wells and rock salt, which are more troublesome. You need to dissolve the rock salt into brine, filter and boil it dry to make salt.

These technologies are currently immature.

Even some salt mines have not been excavated, and the lake salt is also idle.

Therefore, after Li Ke wrote down the various manufacturing methods, he asked the Department of Salt and Iron of the Ministry of Households to implement them across the country immediately.

The other is sugar. This method is also simple. It is nothing more than extracting sucrose and turning it into white sugar.

In addition, Quyuanli had not yet appeared at this time. Cattle played a huge role in farming, but cattle were rare and expensive.

Because often when farming, one cow is not enough.

So Li Ke began to draw the design of Qu Yuanli again.

When I was a child, I lived in the countryside, and Qu Yuanli was not uncommon. The rough design drawings were completed very quickly, and I asked the Ministry of Industry to make them.

In this way, farmers save a lot of labor in farming, and even without cattle, two people can pull the Quyuan plow to plow the field.

In addition to these things, Li Ke racked his brains and thought of many things that can help ancient people with the wisdom of modern people.

Ever since, in the eyes of the ministers, this young emperor is really powerful.

Not only is it both civil and military, but it can actually come up with so many fundamental things and methods to solve problems for the people.

Whether it's gunpowder or steel, or salt and sugar Quyuanli, these all take a long time and can only be presented through constant exploration.

But Li Ke was in a daze for a few days, and he solved everything.

It’s okay not to be shocked!

at the same time.

Datang border, General Qianniuwei Wang Zhong, and Guozijian Jiancheng have already inquired some news at this moment.

Right now they are in Qingyang City, although they don't feel anything strange about Qingyang City.

But, what happened to the few people in strange clothes and iron bumps that appeared at the gate of the city?

I asked people in the city, but no one knew about it, they only said that they were from the Yamen.

Therefore, General Qianniuwei Wang Zhong and Jian Cheng didn't care too much.

In any case, they will not think about this city.

They just want to inquire about Li Ke, find Li Ke, and kill Li Ke.

But very helplessly, Li Ke seemed to have evaporated from the world, even if he reached the border, he was not found at all.

Wang Zhong said to Jian Cheng of the Imperial College:
"Could it be that Li Ke has escaped from Datang?"

Jian Cheng was very helpless, and said: "Maybe, if so, it is impossible to find it at all."

"Then let's..." Wang Zhong hesitated.

Guozijian Jiancheng said: "Forget it, go back to Chang'an and say that no one has been found!"

"Your Majesty will blame you, right?" Wang Zhong said with a big head.

Jiancheng sighed: "What can I do? I can't find it, what can I do?"

The two were silent, and then they agreed to go back and report.

a few days later.

The two returned to Chang'an, and after meeting the emperor in the Lizheng Hall, General Qianniuwei Wang Zhong said:

"Your Majesty, I have been searching for the Third Highness all the way, but after several days, I have not found him. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

The Imperial Supervisor also knelt down!

Li Er's face was not good-looking, and he sighed and said:

"Forget it, that rebellious son, I think he is looking for a place to hide. You can't find it, it's normal. Hmph, this is the fate of disobeying me!"

The ministers didn't speak, and the prince Li Chengqian was there, and he didn't feel any psychological burden because of the situation he caused by framing Li Ke.

In other words, he himself wanted such an effect.

In this way, among the many princes, he can concentrate on dealing with Li Tai.

Li Er didn't blame Li Chengqian too much for this matter.

As someone who has experienced it, Li Er even understood Li Chengqian's approach very well.

He was even relieved that Li Chengqian had such means.

Perhaps it would be a good thing to use Li Ke as a stepping stone for Li Chengqian to help and complete Li Chengqian.

After all, how can there be love in the emperor's family?Some are just the level of means.

Therefore, Li Ke's right and wrong life and death seem to be unimportant to the royal family.

Thinking of this, Li Er is even more determined what is the art of the emperor in his heart!
Therefore, he didn't plan to spend any more thought on Li Ke's matter.

Just, right now.

Li Junxian, the commander of the imperial army, walked into the hall and clasped his fists:
"Your Majesty, the spy who went to Goguryeo to inquire about news has returned!"

"Oh? Tell me, what's the situation in Goguryeo now?" Li Er asked, leaving the matter of Li Ke behind.

With surprise on his face, Li Junxian said:

"A week ago, a young man led an army of [-] people who didn't know where he came from, and attacked Goguryeo all the way. In one day and one night, he took down Goguryeo and captured the king of Goguryeo alive.

And let the Goguryeo army surrender, and this was the last time the new emperor ascended the throne.Today's Goguryeo was renamed Longguo and reigned Yongan.The original royal family was completely cleaned up. "

Li Er gasped: "Young man? This... is unbelievable!"

Li Junxian said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... what is even more unbelievable is that the young man named Li Ke... is the third prince..."
