After thinking about it for a long time, he suppressed the depression in his heart, and then arranged the main tasks of this trip, the combination of bronze and iron tools, the casting and forging of various processing aids and simple machine tools, the collection and processing of magnets, the machinery and molds for making iron and copper wires, and the trial of roller bearings and springs. For example, hydraulic forging presses, vises, press brakes, shell mold casting and the like.

In fact, Li Chengqian did not expect that these could make breakthroughs in a short period of time, he just pointed to a way, designed some basic machine tool models and auxiliary processing machinery models, the simplest bolts, bearings, springs and the like. The rest depends on the comprehension and creativity of the craftsman. Like those boring movies and movies that have traveled through and the quick fixes in novels, he can only think of it in his heart now. If nothing else, just a simple bolt. It can't be made without basic molds and instruments, and it can only be done by hand, not to mention standardized parts. In fact, the metal process is the most difficult, and there is no way to talk about high-strength wear-resistant round steel. Even if he is inspired by his design standards and ideas, he can only rely on the accumulation of experience and the test of time.

It took more than an hour before everything was arranged, except for some cold weapons and handmade small pieces, everything else was basically an experiment. Rubbing his stomach, he said to Du He: "I will also arrange some things for you, I am going to get three independent processing workshops, and you need to make different things, you go to handle it, mainly the location and personnel." The location should be far from densely populated areas, it should be secret, the personnel should be reliable and loyal, and the specific requirements and practices should be recorded on paper. Once I've got it done, I'll go over and work on some of the details myself. ”

Du He followed around for almost two days, and he was already depressed, and he was overjoyed when he heard this: "Do things for Lang Jun, absolutely do your best, please rest assured Lang Jun." He couldn't wait to take the information handed to him by Li Chengqian.

"Why do you always let me sell people and animals without me?" Eldest Sun Chong looked depressed.

"Don't complain there, you have a lot of things, and if it's here, you can go to Zhang Luo. I am going to set up a school, but not one, at least five in the early days, in Chang'an City. Can it be done? Of course, it was first settled in Chang'an City, in order to make a model, and then spread to other cities. And I'm going to train a group of instructors, and I also need a place. Can you do it? Li Chengqian also handed him a few pieces of paper.

looked at the eldest grandson Chong who nodded, and then called Du He, who was about to leave, and instructed: "Don't be in a hurry to do it, I have to leave before I finish speaking, you two will bring your own expenses for the initial land purchase, hiring people, and adding facilities and appliances, and report to me when the time comes." I remember that you both owe me 20,000 yuan each, and this money is not counted. ”

"As long as you pay interest. Otherwise, I will ask His Majesty for it when the time comes. The two despised the prince's shamelessness in their hearts and left in a hurry.

……。

After sending the two away, Li Chengqian let out a long breath, called the guards, and went home.

Next, I have to complete the political treatises that the emperor Lao Tzu asked him to submit, arrange some teaching materials, and do experimental ......, which is really tiring. I was thinking about the plan here, and I didn't mention it in distress.

What he didn't know was that in the past two days, rumors have spread in the imperial capital, saying that the prince is young and immoral, and he is proud of his talents. Sending people to disrupt the market, keeping slaves privately, studios greedy for fun, messing around, squandering money, making friends with non-people in restaurants, and talking up and down.

Hongwen Pavilion, Li Shimin listened to his son's actions and the gossip of the imperial capital, and his brows furrowed more and more.

"Call Gao Ming over, I want to ask him in person, what are you doing? Didn't care about the royal face at all. By the way, call those courtiers on duty, how can they suddenly be full of rumors? ”

Li Chengqian followed Wang Gonggong to the Hongwen Pavilion, just now through the inquiry, he also roughly understood what he asked him to come over this time, his brain hurt a little, this is the reality, this is the concept of people, this is the feudal dictatorship, this is the Confucian tradition. What a big deal. No wonder the path narrower the development. Although I was prepared, I was still helpless.

In the Hongwen Pavilion, the officials on duty had already arrived, and there were more than a dozen of them, who were arguing and arguing with each other. When the prince came in, he immediately stopped making noise and just whispered to each other.

Li Chengqian stepped forward and saluted, "Chengqian knocked to see Your Majesty, I don't know why Chengqian was called to come?" ”

Li Shimin said in his heart, although what you did in the palace before made your father very satisfied, this winter's waist and legs are also much more comfortable. But you have to be measured. What did you do? Although I don't object to you doing it, I have long told you that you should take into account the identity of the crown prince, but you have turned a deaf ear, what should you do if you let me be the emperor?

said on his lips: "Gao Ming, I can hear what you are doing when you go out, making the city stormy, and letting everyone say that I am not royal." I was discussing this matter with the princes just now, and I came to you to hear your explanation. ”

Li Chengqian said in his heart, you don't worry about the major affairs of the country, but some of my things have aroused your interest. Thinking about it, too, there will be the so-called star effect and celebrity scandals in later generations, I guess this is also the difference. I couldn't help but feel a little proud in my heart, but I could make good use of it. So the expression on his face changed, pretending to be innocent and confused, looking around, and opening his mouth to say: "Cheng Qian is polite, dare to ask the princes what things are referring to, and Cheng Qian will answer them separately here." ”

His meaning is very clear, doesn't he say that I have lost my identity in doing things, then, you point it out, and I will explain it to you.

Li Chengqian saw that everyone was silent, and was about to speak. Seeing that someone stood up, it turned out to be Wang Zhonglian, the imperial historian.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, as a prince, a private slave, a greedy workshop for fun, squandering money, and making friends with non-people. What should be done about these things? ”

"Oh, that's what I mean. Then I'll explain. First of all, let's talk about private slaves, at present, the Tang Dynasty was first built, the war has not stopped, and there is no shortage of poor people who sell their bodies and children to spend the winter; In addition, the families of prisoners, prisoners of war, Kunlun slaves and the like can be seen everywhere. Now it is winter, and there are few slaves to recruit labor. Seeing that he was pitiful, and that he had studied the books of the sages since childhood, that he should do such a righteous deed, I decided to buy most of them back to the royal estate. Is that wrong? ”

"Your Highness, do you know that what you did before was a loss of identity, that is just a cheap slave, even if you die, you should be."

"Hey, there is a problem with Wang Yushi's words, because you have read poetry and books since you were a child. What you just said, I can't agree with it, my Datang is different from the tyranny of the former Sui, governing the country first and benevolence first, focusing on the people's livelihood, if you let the hungry and cold people starve to death in the harsh winter, how do you let the poor people think of my Datang! How can this make the world peaceful? Your remarks and actions are clearly intended to trap our royal family in an unkind and unjust place, and to arouse the people's dissatisfaction with the imperial court, and their hearts can be punished. Li Chengqian's face was disdainful. Xindao: I know that you are representing the Wang family, and I still want to accuse me of not killing you.
