"Gao Ming, what are you thinking?"

Li Shimin asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just wondering if I can make more of these guns."

Li Chengqian hurriedly said.

Yu Wenshi said: "Your Majesty, the role of these guns is simply a handful, and it can't break the city, and it's very inconvenient to use, so it's better to destroy it." ”

Speaking of which, it seems to be so.

Guns are not siege weapons, and no matter how powerful they are, they can't break the city.

But this point is exactly as Li Chengqian intended.

"Yu Wenshi and, speaking of which, this king wants to thank you for bringing it up, because the size of the gun is limited, so this king wants to make a bigger gun, that is, a cannon, which can break through the city! No matter what wall you are, you can break it! ”

What is a cannon? Why can you break the city? What it looks like, no one knows.

"What is a cannon?"

Li Shimin asked.

Li Chengqian explained: "The principle of the cannon is similar to this gun, and it can be said that the magnifying cannon of the gun has a more powerful destructive power!" ”

If you explain it this way, it is easy to understand.

Why, because this is an enlarged version of the gun.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, according to what you say, your cannon can also break through our new city wall? What is reinforced concrete called? I've heard you say before that reinforced concrete is very rigid. ”

Yu Wenshi and can be regarded as a person who has done his homework, and knows how to use this method to make Li Chengqian speechless.

"Yu Wenshi and, technology is going on, the military is strong, when the cannon does not appear, the reinforced concrete cannot be broken, but when the cannon appears, the result is different. This king knows what you're going to say next, do you want to say if the cannon makes sense? You don't make man-made, as long as we are ahead of others, then the world is my Datang. Before the enemy awakens, isn't it good to let the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty expand and benefit the people? ”

Yu Wenshi was speechless, he couldn't say anything about Li Chengqian.

No one knows what Li Chengqian is thinking, and hearing him say this is still very powerful.

"Gao Ming is right, I agree, I will deal with this cannon matter for you!"

As for Li Chengqian, Li Shimin now has some blind belief, and he believes that Li Chengqian will definitely be able to.

Although Yu Wenshi and he are unhappy, what can he do? This has become a fact and cannot be adapted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is one more thing for your son!"

"Oh?"

"Erchen requests the establishment of a science and technology department!"

If you want to engage in science and technology next, you have to have a department to specialize in it, and Li Chengqian can't do it directly, after all, once Li Shimin knows about it, it will inevitably be a little uncomfortable, after all, this is a big deal.

So he wanted to ask Li Shimin, and there were also people who could manage it.

"The tech department? What does that do? ”

The new word science and technology is too novel for Li Shimin and everyone.

Li Chengqian tried his best to use the simplest way possible: "In fact, it is a department for invention and creation, but it is different from the military, but it is also a department that supports military intelligence!" ”

Yu Wenshi said, "What is there?" Invention is a petty thing. ”

Li Chengqian retorted:

"Anything that can strengthen the national strength and benefit the people cannot be said to be petty!"

He was preparing for the steam engine, and in this way, it was justified.

"It's good for you to come here, I have no opinion!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! Respect Your Majesty's opinion! Just in case there is a misunderstanding at that time, it's not good. ”

"Gao Ming, I know that you have worked hard! From now on, you can do all these things. ”

Li Shimin also knew that Li Chengqian was good from this incident, and he believed that Li Chengqian would definitely make Datang stronger, and that was what he wanted.

"With Your Majesty's words, Erchen will definitely do a good job."

Yu Wenshi and asked again: "Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be selected?" Regarding the Ministry of Science and Technology, if there is none, someone can be responsible! They are very strong in terms of ability and responsibility, and they will definitely be able to build the Ministry of Science and Technology into a strong existence. ”

Yu Wenshi and see the stitches.

Li Chengqian won't let him get involved, how can he be allowed to interfere in such a big thing? It is better for the Ministry of Science and Technology to master it itself.

So he said: "This king has already been chosen, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"I don't know who it is? Let the minister also help you with the staff? ”

Yu Wenshi and unyielding questioning.

He tried to intervene in this candidate, as long as he persuaded Li Shimin.

"Yes, Gao Ming, who is your candidate, I am also curious."

Looking at this situation, it is not possible to talk about individuals.

Li Chengqian suddenly thought that maybe he could promote his younger brothers, why?

Because the younger brothers had become superstitious about him, they would listen to whatever he did.

So he said: "Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that Li Ke and Li Tai can manage this Ministry of Science and Technology,"

The two brothers have been living in the East Palace recently, and Li Chengqian can also get it remotely, he asked Li Ke and Li Tai to participate together, Concubine Yang will definitely be grateful, and the eldest grandson Empress is even more so, because the two are their children, and Li Shimin will definitely agree, because they are princes! So killing three birds with one stone.

"Ke'er will be ten years old after the New Year, and Tai'er will be nine years old, they have learned a lot from Gao Ming in the East Palace for more than a year, and it is also a good choice if they can help Gao Ming share the burden."

Empress Eldest Sun said.

The two are similar in age to Li Chengqian, but they are much worse in ability, and their merits are very different from him.

Li Chengqian intends to promote the two, and they are also oriented towards himself.

Li Shimin probably wants to see this very much.

Yu Wenshi said, "But they have no experience! I'm afraid ......"

"Yuwen Shi and you are questioning the king's failure to teach well? Who has experience in doing things for the first time? Where does the experience come from not doing? The two of them are very clever and talented, and they will definitely be able to do it! No matter how you say that they are also princes, you have to give them the opportunity to exercise, right? ”

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, Li Shimin's face lit up.

The two princes are Li Chengqian's people again, where do Yu Wenshi dare to say no?

He denied that he rejected Li Shimin's talent, which was a slap in the face of the emperor.

I couldn't help but think a little more highly of Li Chengqian.

"Good! Let the two of them be responsible, you have to watch this point! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, with your sons, everything is fine!"

"I believe in you!"

"Then if it's okay, Erchen will go back to the East Palace first!"

Li Chengqian said so, he was already a little eager to go back and prepare.

"It's hard work everyone, let's go down!"

So, everyone went down, and Li Chengqian went to the East Palace and called Li Kai to the East Palace.
