Chapter 810: Five Thousand Cannons

Since Li Shimin did not take the matter of attacking the Turks to heart, but Li Chengqian could not do this, he still had a task to complete, that is, the manufacture of 10,000 cannons, and sometimes he still had to do this by himself.

Before attacking the Turks, the production of this gun had to keep up. Otherwise, once the fight starts, for Datang, it may take more time and sacrifice a large number of soldiers.

This is a pain that Datang can't bear.

If you have enough weapons to kill them at lightning speed, why not?

Then when it comes to the issue of weapons, there must be corresponding people to produce them.

So he found Li Kai again and asked him about the guns.

In the East Palace, Li Kai said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, five thousand cannons have been produced, and half of them have not been produced!" As for the muskets, 50,000 were produced, and it is believed that it will not be long before the number of 100,000 will be reached. ”

Li Chengqian is not in a hurry about the guns, what he is anxious about is the production capacity of the cannons and whether they can keep up.

Li Chengqian asked: "The king is not in a hurry about the musket, but as for the cannon, can you speed it up?" ”

It is best to be able to expedit, he didn't pay special attention to it before, but now it is different, and the situation around him is getting more and more tense.

The enemy won't wait for you to build the railroad before you can't fight back.

They want to take advantage of the fact that the Datang Railway has not yet been extended to attack Datang as soon as possible. Li Chengqian also knows the powerful relationship, so he must strike first. Be prepared to go on the road at any time.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is also the fastest. Recently, there is a shortage of iron, otherwise another 3,000 cannons can be produced by the end of the month. ”

Li Kai said.

Li Chengqian remembered that all this was because he built trains and railways, and now the demand for iron in the entire Datang can be equal to the demand for iron since the establishment of Datang.

After all, everything needs to use it, and it is naturally indispensable.

In terms of the supply of iron ore, there is a serious shortage. Especially in ancient times, transportation accounted for the largest proportion, you have the ability to mine, but you have to have the ability to transport, not just dig iron ore, some need to go to a distant place to get it.

Li Chengqian said he understood.

"Why didn't you come earlier?"

"Before, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not ask the minister to speed up production! At present, of course, the railway is the first, so we didn't talk about it. ”

That's what happened, Li Chengqian was giving him a lot of time, and this time has not yet arrived, so Li Kai is not wrong.

"Or, His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister will go and look for the six departments?"

Li Kai said, aren't these six parts under his own control?

It's better to beat them than to find yourself!

Li Chengqian said: "No need! You don't have to worry about iron. The king will let someone take care of it. ”

"Is there a way to do this?"

Li Kai was puzzled, as far as he was concerned, there was no way to use it, but Li Chengqian had a way.

He was a little surprised.

"Of course!"

How did Li Kai know what method Li Chengqian was going to use?

After finishing, Li Chengqian said again: "Come on, let Li Ke enter the East Palace!" This king has something to ask him! ”

"Yes!"

What did Li Chengqian ask Li Ke to do? Is it a brother's reminiscence?

If that's the case, it might be a little out of place for Li Kai to stay here.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, is the minister ...... You can leave! ”

Li Kai asked, after all, he still had a lot of work to do.

Li Chengqian said:

"Nope! You stay here and go later! This king still has an arrangement! ”

Li Kai didn't dare to disobey, so he had to be.

After a while, Li Ke entered the East Palace and saluted Li Chengqian.

"What's the big brother looking for me?"

Li Chengqian asked directly:

"Have you ever built a steamer?"

Steamships? What's that? That's something much more sophisticated than a cannon.

Li Kai on the side was completely puzzled, but he was embarrassed to ask. I had to listen to it on the sidelines.

Li Ke responded: "Don't worry, big brother, I also want to come over and talk to you because of this matter." ”

It turned out that Li Ke also came to look for Li Chengqian because of this matter, and I am afraid that he has made a lot of money.

"Oh? What's the progress of that? ”

Li Chengqian asked.

Li Kedao:

"The construction of the steamship has been completed, but it is now in the final stage of cleaning, after which it can be accepted for the transport of iron ore."

Is it the final cleaning stage? That's fast, too.

"How much time will that take?"

"Soon! It will probably only take a moment or so! ”

For a while, very quickly. I can't think of how quickly it will be done.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he had another idea, this ship is not only used as a transport ship, but maybe it can also be used for other things. For example, it was transformed into a warship.

Therefore, he said to Li Kai: "Li Kai, this king wants you to draw out a hundred cannons and transport them directly to the ship!" Spread over four weeks! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this... It's to build warships..."

Li Chengqian nodded.

"That's right, a warship equipped with cannons must be very powerful, and with it, the distance that Datang can reach will be infinitely extended!"

Not only on land there is the Tang Army, but also on the sea!

"Big brother is wise!"

Li Ke said straight.

"Hahaha! Go ahead and do it, and I'll go to your majesty right now!" ”

"Yes!"

The two left the East Palace, and Li Chengqian followed him and took Wang Xuance to the Taiji Palace.

This time, I have to pretend to be forced in front of Li Shimin, and gain a wave of points again.

Now he is familiar with the harvest of these points, and he can easily come by with it.

He had a hunch that the points he needed in the future might only be more, not less.

At the same time, he also tried to change Li Shimin's mind, since he had a weapon, why didn't he go on the expedition?

The stronger he is, the more afraid he is.

If it doesn't work, he will take the initiative to ask for him to go on the expedition, set foot on the enemy's territory, and liberate them and give them a good life, after all, you don't take the initiative, but there are many people who think about the richness of the Tang Dynasty and may invade at any time.

Li Chengqian quickly came to the Taiji Palace, and the Taiji Palace was empty at this time.

He asked about the yellow door beside him.

"Where is Your Majesty?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know! Your Majesty went out early in the morning to relax! ”

Trip?

Where can Li Shimin run to relax?

He thought to himself, will he run to the Qin King Pavilion?

So, he stepped forward and headed towards the Qin King Pavilion.

When he arrived at the Qin Wang Pavilion, he saw many people standing at the bottom, and he knew that Li Shimin must be on top.

"Your Majesty can you be up there?"

He asked

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Okay, send me up!"

After that, the Yellow Gate used an elevator to send Li Chengqian to Zheng on the top floor of the Qinwang Pavilion
