As early as the Xuanyuan period, there was a detailed description of the mineral landform, and now Daqin is looking for ore veins with the help of magnets that have been ground into balls.

And "those who have dansha above have gold below; He who has a stone on it has a stone on it, and a bronze and gold one on the bottom; There is a mausoleum stone on the top, and lead, tin and red copper below; There is ochre above, and there is iron below," this record is also from the dialogue between Emperor Xuanyuan and his minister Bogao.

Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair and listened with his eyes closed, sometimes nodding his head, sometimes opening his eyes to ask, looking like a good student.

Watching Feng Yansheng talk eloquently, foaming at the mouth, there is a tendency for His Majesty not to stop without shouting.

Although the demand for mineral deposits is increasing day by day, Li Yu also feels that this time is quite critical, and then interrupted: "Your Majesty, can Weichen know the current formation of the empire's army. ”

Although Li Yu was already a marquis of the military system, and Feng Yansheng was also a temporary military superintendent, Li Yu also had a lot of apprehension about mentioning the military secrets of the empire.

Ying Zheng just swept it lightly and motioned for Meng Yi to speak.

And Meng Yi was stunned for a moment, as if he never thought that Li Yu would ask about the army, and seeing that Yingzheng had agreed, he said: "Previously, the counties were disarmed by hundreds of thousands, and now the three armies of the empire are about 600,000.

They were the Great Wall Corps led by Neishi Mengtian, with an army of 340,000, stationed on the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu.

The Lingnan Army led by the captain of Nanhai County, with an army of 210,000, shocked hundreds of Yue.

There were 50,000 forbidden troops in Guanzhong, 8,000 of which were led by Zhonglang Zhao Hao, 12,000 of the imperial guards of Zhao Raccoon, and 30,000 local troops of the Inner History Mansion to maintain law and order in Kyoto. ”

Li Yu nodded lightly, this still doesn't count the local security army, and then said: "I don't know how much cavalry in the army has." ”

Meng Yi's expression changed slightly, and he replied: "The cavalry army is mostly cavalry shooting, which is suitable for fighting against the Xiongnu, and the imperial cavalry is biased towards the Shangjun Meng Tian army, about 50,000 horsemen. ”

Thinking of the cavalry of Daqin at this time, most of them used belts to tie the horse's belly to maintain balance, and did not develop stirrups and saddles.

Meng Tian actually only had 50,000 cavalry to defeat the Xiongnu and withdraw from the Hetao area?

Li Yu said with shock in his heart: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that there are large armies of cavalry, archery, halberd, and chariot in the empire, among which riding and archery are the mainstay, and although General Meng's golden fire cavalry has excellent riding skills, it can only charge with cavalry and shooting, and cannot flexibly wield the sword and halberd on the horse, right?" ”

From Yingzheng's point of view, although Li Yu seems to be weak, the two people around him are both fierce generals, and if he can join the army, it will definitely be a big help in the army.

And Li Yu was a marquis at this time, if there was another war, he should be the best candidate, and then said with a smile: "The prince asked the imperial military, do you want to join the army?" ”

Li Yu was stunned, Ying Zheng rarely saw such a smiling look, what did he want to do?

Immediately said carefully: "I'm afraid that Wechen's body is not suitable for life in the army," and then his voice changed, and he said: "The empire is now in winter, and the people will definitely live and work in peace and contentment in the spring of the next year. ”

Several times! And not counting?

Ying Zheng's expression changed, his face was surprised, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and asked word by word: "How many times is the prince and the prince talking about it?" ”

Li Yu didn't speak with a smile on his face, but his eyes met Ying Zheng's, and there was no trace of cowardice in his eyes.

The implication is to tell Ying Zheng, Lao Zhao, don't be surprised, you heard it right.

Li Yu's confident performance made Ying Zheng's heart a little excited, but who was Ying Zheng, he could see at a glance that he was tired, and he seemed to smile and said: "The prince needs a reward?" ”

was recognized so quickly, the corners of Li Yu's mouth inevitably twitched, and he said in his heart: Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy.

Li Yu's leather and facial skills are also increasing day by day, and his face is not red and his heart is not beating, and he said: "Ha, how can Weichen reward His Majesty is just to reward some gold, silver and jewelry, Weichen is not a greedy person." ”

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh? I don't know what the prince wants, if I have it, you just have to speak. ”

The corners of Li Yu's mouth curled, and Ying Zheng felt bad in his heart, but since he had already spoken, there was no reason to take it back, and he just begged that the Immortal Monarch Marquis would not speak too much......

Now Ying Zheng's body is slowly improving, supporting Zhao Gao, and often staying in the harem, although there is often a feeling of blood gushing, but also think that it is the sequelae of detoxification in the body, and do not take it to heart.

Li Yu didn't know that Ying Zheng was thinking crookedly at this time, and immediately said: "I heard that Your Majesty once set up a shipyard on the coast of the East China Sea and sent thousands of shipwrights to work day and night......

didn't think that this was the sore spot that Ying Zheng didn't want to mention, and before the words fell, Ying Zheng's face changed drastically, and he got up and reprimanded: "Where did the prince hear it? ”

Li Yu never thought that this shipyard would make Yingzheng react so much, and after a little thought, he understood, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty was deceived by Xu Fu and built a ship for him to go to sea. ”

Ying Zheng's expression eased when he heard this, and he thought that if it weren't for Li Yudao's mystery in Jiuzhi Mountain, he was afraid that he would still be kept in the dark at the moment.

Although he was a little out of shape, he couldn't help but be angry, and said, "How can the prince say this? ”

Li Yu shook his head helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, it's always a good thing to take precautions, some unknowable places, no ships can not be reached, and now when the civil security army is strong, it is only urgent to study and build ships." ”

It turned out that it was for this matter, Ying Zhengchang breathed a sigh of relief, and did not agree, but asked with a grim expression: "What does Meng Qing think?" ”

Meng Yi, as a minister of internal conspiracy, naturally had his own opinions, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, what the prince said is not unreasonable, when General Tu Sui led 500,000 troops to attack the Baiyue countries, he also suffered from the weakness of the naval army and the poisonous miasma, and finally died under the poisonous arrows. ”

Ying Zheng calmed down at this moment before he realized the importance of the ship, how distressed the Lingnan Army was in the first battle of Baiyue, it is estimated that only he knows.

Seeing Li Yu looking directly at himself and waiting for a result, Ying Zheng spoke: "It's not impossible for the prince to want that shipyard, but he has to agree to one condition." ”

There's a play!

Li Yu then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Ying Zheng suddenly got up and walked in front of Li Yu, stroked Li Yu's shoulders and said, "In addition to the method you said to improve the combat power of cavalry, I also need a sailor army that gallops the sea, can you do it?" ”

Li Yu's expression froze, and he said solemnly: "Two years later, as Your Majesty wishes." ”

Ying Zheng's pupils shrank, patted Li Yu on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he showed a meaningful smile.

You Li Yu dare to ask for it, but I still don't dare to give it?

"From today onwards, the Imperial Shipbuilding Division will be owned by the Immortal Monarch."

As soon as the words came out, everyone stood on the spot.

Isn't it just one shipyard, how did it become an entire shipbuilding division?

And it's also the 'ownership' of the prince, which is the same as the 'supervision' of the prince in heaven and on the earth.

Meng Yi and Feng Yansheng knew that the Shipbuilding Division seemed to be infamous on weekdays, but it was definitely an important institution of the empire, and the two of them were already at a loss just by transporting salt and grain.

What the hell is Your Majesty thinking?

Such an important department is lost?

Looking at the back of Ying Zheng leaving, Li Yu was stunned for a while.

Lao Zhao just said that the shipbuilding department is 'owned' by me?

After reacting, Li Yu's expression was a little weird, looking at Feng Yansheng, who could stuff his fist in his mouth, and spread his hands helplessly.

I was a little sad in my heart and said: This is the honey halo of pig's feet?

I just wanted to ask you to rent a house, but you said you wanted to give me a real estate.
