"Li Ke uses this person, the minister is not very familiar with it, and he can't provide any reference to the emperor, but the minister thinks that if it is not my race, his heart will be different, and the emperor should pay more attention." Qiao Xinchao thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty.

"But if the emperor wants to find someone to go to Li Keyong's place, the minister has one person to recommend."

"Oh? Who? ”

"Serve Zheng Cong, Master Zheng." Qiao Xinchao nodded and said softly, "Master Zheng once had some friendship with Master Li, and they worked together to suppress Huangchao, if you invite him to go, you may get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Zheng Congyan is this person, Zhao Fan has an impression, the veteran of the Three Dynasties, loyal to the royal family, and Du Rang can recommend it to Zhao Fan.

"Okay, this matter will be handled by Aiqing."

"Commandment."

Sending Qiao Xinchao away, Zhao Fan looked at the map on the table and couldn't help but feel a little big.

If he expects Li Keyong to help him, it may not be, after all, Li Keyong is also a feudal town, if there is a conflict of interest between them, Zhao Fan believes that Li Keyong will not mind cleaning himself up.

It's just that he thinks that if he has a good relationship with Li Keyong now, it will definitely not be bad, and the evaluation of this person in history is mixed, so Zhao Fan will neither regard him as his biggest enemy, nor will he pin his hopes on such a person, which is unrealistic.

At present, the most important thing is to develop their own strength, as long as the strength of the imperial court is strong enough, those feudal towns will at least be more restrained.

The situation he has to face now is more complicated than that of Zhaozong in history, Tang Zhaozong in history, at least Lingnan, Hexi, Shannan, Jiannan and other regions are in his hands, but when he comes to himself, he has nothing.

But on the other hand, Zhao Fan does not have the problem of eunuchs interfering in politics, everything he is doing now is built according to his own wishes, without any interference.

Maybe this is the real breaking and then standing.

"Your Majesty take a break, the concubine has boiled you a bowl of lotus seed soup, drink it while it's hot."

Just when Zhao Fan felt a little irritable, Joey walked in with two little palace maids, still holding a bowl of soup in their hands.

"Yi'er, you're here, sit down." Zhao Fanqiang laughed, rolled up the map on the table, and said softly.

Since Joey was in a coma last time, it took three full days to wake up, and Joey has not changed much since he woke up, but the whole person has been weak for a while, and then as usual, he cooks and washes for Zhao Fan every day, and boils water and makes tea when there are people.

And the cyan long sword, I don't know where she hid it, everything is as if nothing has happened.

Since Joey didn't want to say it, Zhao Fan naturally wouldn't ask anything, and Joey was quite grateful for it.

"Your Majesty, the concubine's senior sister is here." Joey looked at Zhao Fan, who was gobbling up the soup, and said happily.

"Oh? Yi'er's senior sister? Zhao Fan put down the soup bowl and looked at Joey with some curiosity, some guesses in his heart, but he was not sure.

"The concubine's senior sister is Liu Menghan, the contemporary giant of the Mo family, she is proficient in all kinds of organs, and she is much more powerful than the concubine." Joey stroked his bangs and said with some smugness.

Zhao Fan looked at the boyish Joey and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Your Majesty, what are you laughing at, what the concubine said is true." Joey glanced at Zhao Fan dissatisfiedly, and Qiong frowned.

"Okay, yes, Yi'er is right. It's my mistake, it's my mistake. Zhao Fan touched Joey's head and said softly, "It turns out that my Yi'er is also a member of the Mo family, but I underestimate you, since your senior sister has come, let her come to see me, where is he now?" ”

"Senior sister is waiting outside the hall." Joey slapped off Zhao Fan's claws and shouted towards the door, "Senior sister, come in quickly!" ”

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Zhao Fan looked up and saw a shadow slowly walking towards him.

The person who came was wearing a blue gauze skirt and a fox fur coat, with delicate facial features, sweet appearance, and skin like congealed fat, which can be regarded as a big beauty.

"People's girl Liu Menghan see His Royal Highness." Liu Menghan walked in front of Zhao Fan and said with a respectful salute.

"Liu Juzi doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat."

Zhao Fan also looked Liu Menghan up and down, but he didn't put up any shelf, waved his hand, and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Menghan nodded, saluted again, and slowly sat down on the chair beside him.

"Your Majesty, the folk girl came this time, on the one hand, to come to see the junior sister, on the other hand, I heard from the junior sister that Your Majesty needs to make a batch of special instruments, and the folk girl is also a little accomplished in this regard, so I came over to see if I can help."

Liu Menghan didn't be too polite, and said his intention straight to the point, which made Zhao Fan a little surprised.

However, after seeing Joey's sinister smile, Zhao Fan immediately understood that Joey should have invited him over to help him.

"I do have some ideas, and I need Liu Juzi's help." Zhao Fan was not polite, took out a few drawings from the pile of documents on the table, and handed them to Liu Menghan.

In fact, the drawings drawn by Zhao Fan are extremely simple, because the structure of the breech gun itself is relatively simple, and in fact, it is only the barrel part that spreads Zhao Fan, and the other parts can be replaced with wood products, but the barrel is not.

With the current level of craftsmanship in Datang, it is easy to make any parts with woodworking, but in terms of smelting, it is still a lot worse, and it is impossible to manufacture a qualified barrel.

Liu Menghan took the drawings and carefully checked them, the body tube and grip part are fine, a slightly more experienced carpenter can do it, Liu Menghan believes that if she is allowed to do it, she can do it more perfectly.

But the barrel part is more troublesome, and it is too difficult to drill a circular hole in a round iron pipe, and it has to be drilled so deep, and there can be no inclination.

"Your Majesty, these two drawings, the folk girl can solve it, but this last drawing, the folk girl is really powerless, I'm really sorry." Liu Menghan frowned, glanced at Zhao Fan apologetically, and said softly.

When Zhao Fan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he also knew that with the current situation, it was indeed difficult to make a musket, even if it was just a simple smoothbore gun.

"Liu Juzi doesn't have to be like this, I also know that this matter is not easy, if it is really impossible, Liu Juzi does not have to be embarrassed."

Zhao Fan sighed, and didn't blame Liu Menghan for this, after all, people came to help, and he couldn't blame others because he couldn't help, he couldn't do this kind of thing.

At the end of the recent year, the work is busy, can only be a change, but also please forgive me, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask, thank you, bear with me
