The Tang Kingdom rarely ushered in a short period of stability, and the people from all over the country cultivated fertile land and sowed crops, and the land of the Tang Dynasty was thriving.

The Tang Army Naval Division formed by Xu Sheng was located in Xiajin Port, and Fang Li allowed him to personally select 5,000 people who were proficient in water from the Xingyang camp to join, and the household department gave priority to providing money and food to ensure that the construction of the naval division was smooth sailing.

In terms of the Ministry of Industry, the catapult presided over by Liu Ye was also officially put into production, and nearly 1,000 craftsmen in the Arsenal Casting Bureau located in the north of Xingyang City were busy sweating profusely, busy but not chaotic.

Qi Taishan, who was strongly recommended by Liu Ye, also accepted the invitation to come to Xingyang to join the Tang State Armor Casting Bureau and contribute his extraordinary talents to the Tang State to manufacture weapons.

Fang Li personally came to the Arsenal to visit Qi Taishan's craftsmanship, and saw that the catapult lever made by Qi Taishan himself was smooth and tough, as if it was a miracle, and he couldn't help but praise it.

"Okay, good, you don't know Mount Tai with eyes, it's better to see than to hear! The widow decided to appoint Qi Taishan as the director of the War Casting Bureau, responsible for the production of the entire War Casting Bureau, and assisted Liu Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to do a good job in weapon manufacturing. ”

The honest Qi Taishan was moved to tears, knelt down and kowtowed, and stammered: "Thank you...... Tang, Tang Gong is loved, don't dislike, the grass people are dull, I ...... I will definitely do my best to help Datang and Datang make qualified weapons and help the soldiers fight bravely on the battlefield! ”

Fang Li encouraged: "Even Mr. Gong Yi praised your craftsmanship, and the widow believes that the weapons you make will definitely shine on the battlefield." ”

Although Fang Li had high hopes for Qi Taishan, he wanted to get the help of Lu Ban, the grandmaster, if he could come to the Tang Kingdom to help make weapons, he would definitely be like a tiger with wings.

Fang Li instructed Liu Ye face-to-face: "If you send someone to Lu Country and convey the concept of catapults to Gong Yi, I think he will be itchy and come to our Tang Kingdom to see what is going on." ”

"Haha...... The lord is tempting the drunkard with wine, and the prince knows that he will come to Xingyang. Liu Ye laughed and took the order, and immediately started to arrange.

Located in the center of Xingyang, the Taiji Palace originally belonged to the Yuguo Office, covering an area of hundreds of acres and nearly 1,000 palace houses.

The Tang army captured nearly 100 eunuchs in the harem of Xingyang, and Fang Li renamed this palace "Taiji Palace" after entering the mastership, because there were no concubines, so they did not consider recruiting eunuchs.

In the past few days, with the arrival of Da Qiao and the preparation of marrying Yu Miaoge, Fang Li ordered Jian Yong, the acting secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to post a notice to recruit eunuchs to serve in Taiji Palace.

Those eunuchs who had been purified were a waste person when they left the palace, and they would be ridiculed by others, and they heard that Tang Gong came out to recruit temple people, and immediately came to sign up for the recruitment, but in two days, there were more than 150 applicants.

There is also a deceased person who left Fang Li, that is, the original eunuch of Yu State.

After half a year, the more than forty-year-old You Yuan had already seen white hair on his forehead, and kowtowed to Fang Li: "Tang Gong, do you remember the old slave?" ”

Thinking that when he first entered Pinglu, he was able to share a big house because he took care of himself, and met Jing Ke's sister-in-law, Fang Li was still grateful to this old eunuch.

"Huh...... Thanks to the care of the eunuch order, how can the widow not remember you? Fang Li hurriedly got up and personally helped You Yu up.

You Hui sighed with emotion: "When the old slave knew Tang Gong, you were still a guest, because of your extraordinary knowledge, you were respected by Yu Gong. At that time, the old slave concluded that Tang Gong was definitely not a thing in the pool, and he would definitely do something great in the future, and now it has come true! ”

Fang Li smiled: "Borrowing the eunuch Ling Jiyan, your original kindness is not forgotten." ”

Yu Yu continued to praise Fang Li: "Although the old slave concluded that Tang Gong would have great achievements in the future, he didn't expect that in just seven or eight months, Tang Gong would actually establish a huge country, even if Yao Shun is alive, I am afraid that he will sigh to himself!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly slapped his mouth and opened his mouth: "Look at the old slave's mouth, he really can't speak, damn it!" Tang Gong is a descendant of the Shennong clan, and his status is noble, compared to these princes divided by the Zhou royal family, it is simply a difference between cloud and mud! This world will be dominated by my Datang sooner or later in the future! ”

"The eunuch Ling came to Xingyang this time, did he want to work for the widow?" Fang Li asked bluntly.

From the old man's tears, he knelt on the ground and cried again: "After the old slave followed An Yijun to Hanoi, he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and squandered the money issued by the government, and he couldn't make ends meet. In order to save money, An Yijun laid off the old slave. My crippled body has nowhere to go, and I heard that Tang Cheng is recruiting temple people, so I came to take refuge and hope that Tang Gong will take me in. ”

Fang Li bent down again to help you up, and said angrily: "The grace of dripping water should be repaid by the spring!" The eunuch is kind to the widow, and you are also loyal and simple, Ji Zhai has fallen to this point, and you can still not give up, which shows your character. Since you have come to take refuge in the widow, continue to be a eunuch and help the widow take charge of all the eunuchs in the Taiji Palace. ”

"Tang Gong is so important, the old slave is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!"

You knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and at the same time beckoned a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little eunuch behind him to kowtow, "Zhao Gao, quickly kowtow to the lord!" ”

This little eunuch with a thin body, sharp eyes, red lips and white teeth hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and his forehead hit the floor "bang": "The slave Zhao Gao kowtowed to the lord." ”

"Zhao Gao?"

Fang Li was surprised, and the first thought that popped up in his heart was whether this Zhao Gao was the Zhao Gao who "pointed to the deer as a horse" in history?

Yu Yu hurriedly introduced: "This is the apprentice of the old slave last spring, who was originally from the Zhao State, and later went into exile in the Yu State, and he was hungry, so he entered the palace cleanly. The old slave saw that he was smart and clever, so he accepted him as an apprentice and stayed by his side to train him. ”

Zhao Gao kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Master is my reborn parents, and my lord is my ancestor!" In the future, the slave and maid are willing to make cattle and horses for the lord, go to the soup and fire, and let them gallop! ”

"Inquire about the four dimensions of this Zhao Gao for the widow, and see if it is Zhao Gao who referred to the deer as a horse during the Qin II period?" Fang Li sat upright on the surface, but secretly gave instructions to the system in his mind with his mind.

"Qiang ...... Zhao Gao - Domination 72, Wu Yong 53, Strategy 91, Internal Affairs"

"Tsk...... This person's strategy is more than 90, and his internal affairs are also as high as 86, and he also has a certain ability to command troops. Such a value is by no means an ordinary person, it seems that most of them refer to Zhao Gao who is a deer and a horse! ”

Fang Li muttered to himself in his heart, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Gao for a moment.

In history, Zhao Gao conspired with Li Si after the death of Qin Shi Huang, forged an edict to force the crown prince Fusu to death, and supported Hu Hai to succeed to the throne with Li Si.

After Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, he appointed Zhao Gao as the commander of Lang, formed a party for personal gain, and even designed to get rid of Li Si, who had first-class internal affairs ability in the whole history, and even monopolized power.

Later, Zhao Gao even forced Qin II Hu Hai to commit suicide and set up another Ziying to succeed him, but in the end, he suffered the consequences and was killed by Ziying's design, destroying the three clans.

But in any case, Zhao Gao also left a strong mark in the history of the Qin and Han dynasties, accelerated the demise of the Qin Dynasty, and can be called the first eunuch in Chinese history to gain power.

"This kid will be a big traitor in the future, should he kill him or keep it?"

Fang Li stared at Zhao Gao, who was kneeling and kowtowing, expressionlessly, and groaned secretly in his heart.

But now Zhao Gao is just a fifteen-year-old boy, and he hasn't made any mistakes, and he is brought about by compensation. If you kill him like this for no reason, I am afraid that the teacher will be unknown, and even have a reputation for indiscriminately killing innocents.

Moreover, this Zhao Gao has 91 strategies and 86 internal affairs, which is even comparable to Liu Ye, Chen Deng, Zhuge Jin and others, which is really a rare talent.

And Tang Guo is now at the time of employing people, if Zhao Gao can be used well, maybe he can become the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and it is a pity to give him death for no reason!

"Since the widow can tolerate Cao Cao, can't he tolerate a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Zhao Gao?"

Fang Li groaned secretly in his heart, and greeted loudly: "Zhao Gao, get up, the widow will draw a picture for you to see, is it a deer or a horse?" ”

Zhao Gao stood up obediently, and grinded the paper for Fang Li with his hands and feet: "The slave maid has long heard that the master's painting skills are the best in the world, and today I am finally fortunate to witness it with my own eyes, and I have no regrets in this life!" ”
