My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 195 The history of human warfare will be divided from now on!
Wang Yuan's words are not random boasting. Although the sample cannon has just been manufactured, the related production line has basically been set up.

That's right!

As a time traveler, Wang Yuan naturally wants to go to large-scale production.

"Fifty?"

Li Shimin and Li Jing looked at each other, as if a huge stone had been stuffed into their throats, they were almost unable to speak.

OMG!

If there were fifty of these guns, what army would be needed?
It can directly smash Goguryeo to pieces!

"And the power of my new Hongyi cannon will definitely be stronger than this one!"

Wang Yuan gave them another surprise, almost making them think that they had auditory hallucinations.

This happiness came too suddenly, right?

"So, the only problem now is to convince Li Er."

Wang Yuan waved his hand to let Lao Huang and the others push Hongyi Cannon away, and continued:
"As long as Li Er is persuaded to attack Goguryeo, the battle will be safe."

"There is no problem with this at all, His Majesty will definitely agree!"

Li Shimin nodded, not taking this matter to heart at all.

He made up his mind just based on Wang Yuan's words before, not to mention that there is such a magic soldier to help him now, if he is still cowardly, then he is a fool.

"Lao Li, don't take it lightly!"

Wang Yuan frowned, dissatisfied with Lao Li's foolish attitude:

"You have to make sure that Li Er will definitely fight Goguryeo, and at least write me a guarantee!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be so wasteful building fifty cannons!"

"After all, if it's just to open the way, three or four are enough."

This Hongyi cannon is not cheap, and the cost of one can be calculated at one hundred thousand guns.

Still need to write a guarantee?

Li Shimin is speechless. You, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, are clearly in front of you. What else do you need to do?

"My lord, is this Hongyi cannon really that expensive?"

Although Wang Yuan said that he would use all the tens of millions of money he got from him, he still felt that it was too exaggerated.

"expensive?"

Disdainful, Wang Yuan raised his right finger and shook it lightly: "Lao Li, you are wrong!"

"This is not ordinary expensive, but very expensive!"

"Did you know? For such a Hongyi cannon, the iron ingot alone costs ten stones, and it is the simplest configuration!"

"Ten stones!"

Li Shimin was startled, subconsciously took several steps back!

In the current Datang, although the iron smelting technology has been greatly developed, the output is still very limited.

Ten stones is exactly one thousand kilograms, a full two thousand catties of pig iron!

Even in Chang'an City, it would take at least seven days for all the iron smelting workshops of the Changsun family to start producing so many iron ingots!

And this is just a cannon, or the lowest configuration!

How could this not shock Li Shimin!

Li Jing was also frightened. Who would have thought that a Hongyi cannon would be so expensive in terms of materials alone.

"My lord, why don't you hand over the cannon making formula to the imperial court and let the imperial court make it?"

Li Jing proposed, and as soon as he said it, he got Li Shimin's strong support.

"That's right, this plan is very good!"

Since the prince is unwilling to sell it, it is better to let the court make it by itself.

"Never!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuan still shook his head, not intending to accept it at all: "Are you treating me as a fool?"

"The Great Tang now strictly prohibits the manufacture of weapons by the people. The weapons in the treasury and treasury are all made by craftsmen and manufacturing institutions in various places."

"And the annual production quantity is very limited. If I give this formula to Li Er now, Li Er will definitely send someone to kill me. Then, am I digging my own grave?"

"My lord, you really think too much."

It was said that Li Shimin wanted to cry but had no tears. He issued this order in order to stabilize the world.

He never expected that it would turn out like this, which aroused the suspicion of the big dog instead.

"Actually, Prince, your Majesty won't be angry when he gets this invention of yours, and he will also reward you greatly!"

In desperation, Li Jing can only start to lure?
"It's back to the old question!"

Wang Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Li Er is so poor, can he still give another third of our country's treasury?"

I make up!

Li Shimin and Li Jing were so angry that they were speechless, completely convinced!
This big dog is really not getting in!

Apart from digressing, there is only money left!

"never mind!"

While Li Jing was still thinking about how to persuade Wang Yuan, Li Shimin stood up and raised his hand:
"My lord, I can write down a guarantee that His Majesty will definitely send troops!"

"You can make it with confidence!"

"I can use my own life as a guarantee. If these artillery can't kill the Koreans, I am willing to apologize with death!"

"Your Majesty, Old Li!"

Hearing these words, Li Jing was really frightened and almost exposed Li Shimin's true identity.

Your Majesty swears to a commoner now, why is this!

"Old Gao, don't say anything, the prince wants evidence now, so I will give him the evidence now!"

Li Shimin persuaded Li Jing, still raised his hand and swore, looking at Wang Yuan who was stunned:

"My lord, is this enough?"

"it is good!"

Wang Yuan nodded heavily, his astonishment disappeared, and he grinned: "I will believe you just once!"

"Let's go back first, I will start rushing to work today."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left without any hesitation.

Now that you have decided, just do it.

Looking at Wang Yuan's back, both of them fell silent.

Needless to say, Li Shimin, Li Jing just experienced the shamelessness of a big dog.

But it's just a young man who doesn't seem very reliable, but once he gets serious, he has an inexplicable power that makes people feel at ease.

Just like that, with mixed feelings, they followed Wang Yuan back to Lantian County.

It was approaching evening at this time, and the palace was brightly lit, and through the windows, people of all sizes could be seen walking around.

If you look at it from a close distance, there will be a different kind of kindness.

"My lord, come in for dinner!"

Xiao Le'er was the first to notice Wang Yuan's return. As soon as she saw the boy's figure, she jumped up and yelled loudly.

"Okay! We'll be right there!"

Wang Yuan smiled and agreed, Li Shimin and Li Jing were no exception, they were already hungry.

After all, the three of them didn't even eat lunch.

At this moment, the aroma of the food has already come. Although Uncle Ming and his team are not as skilled as Wang Yuan, after all, Wang Yuan's kitchen has all kinds of spices too comprehensive.

Even a novice cook can cook deliciously.

The four of them sat in the hall, Wang Yuan and the little girl were sitting next to each other, eating together.

And Uncle Ming and the others are also in the next room, talking about various interesting things.

After they came back from Yuhang, they became more chatty, and they had a lot more knowledge to brag about.

This lively and warm atmosphere made Li Shimin and Li Jing intoxicated.

They have forgotten how long they have not been immersed in such an atmosphere.

"Lao Li, why don't I brew a few jars of sweet-scented osmanthus?"

Taking advantage of the little girl's obsession with food, Wang Yuan quietly proposed to Li Shimin.

Okay!

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and just about to agree, but suddenly thought of something, hesitation instantly appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?" Wang Yuan was puzzled.

Li Jing also looked at it.

"Prince, I suddenly remembered another purpose of this trip."

Li Shimin's expression gradually became solemn, "I don't know, Mr. Wang, what do you think of the management of the snowy plateau?"

"If Tubo cannot be completely surrendered, then His Majesty may have a hard time fighting Goguryeo with peace of mind."

"If you have a solution to this difficult problem, then the possibility of persuading His Majesty to send troops will increase by at least [-]%."

Now it is imperative to attack Goguryeo, so there is only one last problem left.

How to completely suppress Tubo?
"Isn't it okay to send troops and build the Protectorate?" Wang Yuan was puzzled.

"But now Datang has neither money nor people." Li Shimin shook his head.

He had naturally thought about the matter of the Protectorate, but the problem was very realistic.

He was cheated by a big dog, and now he is really poor.

Moreover, there was really no one in the imperial court, after all, the Beiting Protectorate's Mansion was about to send someone there.

Although the imperial examination system is being promoted, it will take next year at the earliest to take effect.

"In that case."

Wang Yuan rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Then Lao Li, have you heard of barley?"

"Highland barley?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing, who hesitated for a moment: "My lord, are you talking about the staple food that people in Tubo eat?"

"good!"

Wang Yuan nodded: "Then do you know what is most lacking in snowy areas and plateaus?"

"food!"

This time, without waiting for Li Jing to speak, Li Shimin rushed to say: "The terrain in the snow area is extremely cold, and the most scarce thing is food!"

"In that case, what questions do you have?"

Wang Yuan put down his chopsticks, spread his hands, and looked at the two of them: "Isn't the answer already out?"
