Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

That's right, sometimes the truth of the matter is as simple as that, there is no conspiracy to usurp the throne, and there is no secret rebellion, the whole thing is entirely caused by Li Shimin himself getting drunk and then taking the initiative to find Zhang Nuo.

It's just that Li Shimin was a little embarrassed because of this, he was really incompetent and furious just now, and seeing Ma Zhou like this, he obviously knew about this telegram in advance, how embarrassing it is.

But embarrassment is embarrassment, what should be asked still has to be asked,

"Ma Zhou, let me ask you, what does this new type of armor look like? And what is that new type of weapon?"

Ma Zhou was about to answer when Li Shimin added in a low voice,

"Ma Zhou, how many people know about that telegram?"

Ma Zhou choked on this question, rolled his eyes secretly before answering softly,

"Your Majesty, because the ordnance is to be manufactured in large quantities, I have seen it, and Baiqisi has seen it, and the supplier is the Changsun family, so the steward of the Changsun family has seen it!"

"As for the matter of changing the costumes of the Xuanwu Army, basically all the big and small families in the city know about it. After all, the production of armor and weapons requires the help of many merchants to supply them!"

Li Shimin could not wait to find a crack in the ground to get in, why the hell so many people know about it, it's embarrassing to throw this shit outside.

But what else could he do?Things have already happened, Zhang Nuo just treats him here as a business, and tells him to deal with it seriously. Is it Zhang Nuo's fault?

But fortunately, there were only a few people who actually read the telegram, basically either his confidants or Zhang Nuo's confidants, even if there was a steward of the eldest grandson's family, they could barely be regarded as his wife's family, so they should be regarded as relatives.

These people should know what to say and what not to say!

It’s just that after Zhang Nuo promised at the time, he started to make it directly, and he didn’t mention it in the telegram afterwards, whether it was not built well or there were other problems.

And that idiot Xingben will tell him about the various situations in Pyongyang in the telegram tomorrow, so why not talk about the situation here?

After Li Shimin turned his head and put the matter down, he began to frown and think about the matter. After all, if Zhang Nuo found out that Zhang Nuo was not rebelling or committing a crime, then there was nothing to worry about, but the Xuanjia Army's change of clothes had to be done properly. think about it.

Chapter 600 The Power of the New Style of Governance

Ma Zhou didn't know where this master's thoughts went now, but there was still something to explain, after all, Li Shimin was still asking questions just now.

"Your Majesty, the ordnance factory is built near the research institute. One is for confidentiality. After all, the guards there are the strictest in Pyongyang, even stricter than the palace. There are quite a few technologies on the side that have just been produced by the research institute, so it is convenient for those craftsmen to communicate with each other!"

"The armor and weapons you just asked about are all produced and preserved there. The armor is made of fine steel dragon scale armor. Compared with the previous ones, it is nothing more than lighter in weight and harder in hardness. It seems that His Highness has also invented What a new quenching method, so that those armors can prevent rust!"

"As for the new type of weapon, it's not actually a new type of weapon. It's still the previous Mo Dao, but the material has changed. At the same time, the handle of the Mo Dao has been divided into two parts, which is convenient to carry, and you can use the handle to meet the enemy even in close combat. !"

Li Shimin became completely excited when he heard this. The artillery, explosives and other things that Zhang Nuo had made before were really powerful, but he didn't understand them at all.

So many times he is like a salted fish who can only shout 666. The shock of "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" is not because Zhang Nuo wants to do this on purpose, but because he really doesn't understand the convoluted theories in it.

He can only start from the perspective of a king and a commander, thinking about how much this thing will play in the war and the country, how to use it, and so on.

But now this thing is different, whether it is the dragon scale armor or the mo knife, these are the things he is most familiar with, and judging from what Ma Zhou just introduced, there is nothing new and messy this time. Technology, and there is nothing he can't understand.

It's just improving the material and craftsmanship on the original basis, then this can be understood.

Li Shimin nodded in relief. It seems that brother Zhang Nuo is indeed my caring person. He just mentioned it in the telegram, and now he is almost ready to give birth quietly.

If it was done by other people, it is estimated that he would have to go to him every few days to ask for credit or something, but Zhang Nuo, if it wasn't for this coincidence when he came to Pyongyang this time, I am afraid that by the time he really saw these things, Zhang Nuo would have been Zhang Nuo. It's time for Nuo to fully produce it, pack it up and ship it back.

I have to say that Zhang Nuo's approach is really reassuring!

But even at this moment Li Shimin had already gone to the ordnance factory with all his heart, but there was still a pile of official documents waiting for him to deal with, so he couldn't just let him go.

Now that Zhang Nuo has run away first, if he lets go, the entire Pyongyang Road and Liaodong Road will be thrown into chaos.

So Li Shimin had no choice but to temporarily suppress his curiosity, and told Ma Zhou to accompany him to the ordnance factory later, and then began to deal with the official documents on the desk seriously.

Half of these official documents are situation reports, and the other half are various applications. Some trivial matters are handled directly by Ma Zhou. Those who can report here are definitely related to some sensitive materials or large quantities, and they are not within Ma Zhou's authority at all. Those who can be mobilized are brought together to the palace.

Li Shimin looked at the official documents carefully, although Xingben would tell him about the situation in Pyongyang almost every day in the telegrams, and occasionally Zhang Nuozai's words were more clear.

But after all, it’s not time to summarize at the end of the year, so many things here are just briefly talked to him, and the specific data will only be counted at the end of the year.

But judging from the official documents, under Zhang Nuo's management, the entire Pyongyang Road and Liaodong Road have radiated a completely different light from the past.

Here, as a special zone in Zhang Nuoxin Lane, many policies were formulated by Zhang Nuoxin, such as a new official document in Li Shimin's hands.

It seems that this official document is very ordinary, it is the monthly work summary reported by the local county government.

But in fact, Li Shimin has never seen such a report.

Because in Datang, there is no such tradition of reporting various local work conditions, population data, production conditions, and business conditions every month.

This policy was formulated by Zhang Nuo. As a posterity, he clearly understands the importance of information.

So from the very beginning, he required all counties to report the situation truthfully every month, which included local population statistics accurate to the pregnancy status of pregnant women, age and other information, and then there were cattle, armaments, land area, planting conditions, etc.

With such data in hand, Zhang Nuo was able to discover problems in various places in the first place, such as the imbalance of population ratio, or the serious death of infants and young children, and so on.

Not to mention the lack of local food production, the risk of famine or food shortage, and the risk of driving up food prices, all of which can be found from the data.

Zhang Nuo regarded this work as the top priority that the county government must do. He also dealt with a few gnats who dared to commit crimes. Only then did he truly establish his majesty as the King of Qin.

As an emperor, although Li Shimin had never studied serious data analysis, his natural political sensitivity allowed him to make a rough judgment on the data from various places.

And this is also the reason why he was surprised, because judging from the situation, although the entire Pyongyang Road is currently not as rich as Guannei, after all, it is a subjugated slave who was made a slave after the defeat, and it is impossible to catch up with Guannei in the short term.

However, judging from the grain planting area, business situation, and industrial development, Li Shimin was surprised to find that maybe within a year or two, every household here would be richer than those in the Guan.

Even if you just look at the current situation, each household has enough food reserves to deal with various natural and man-made disasters.

The surrounding areas of Chang'an are naturally much richer than this, but some state capitals are not much better than this, or even worse.
