Tang Shanzhi doesn't care about suitable or inappropriate things anymore, seeing that victory is in sight, another steel monster is about to be born in his hands, who can take care of this.

And Li Chengqian was only worried about whether the follow-up project would hurt the steam turbine that had been installed below, this was just a kind reminder, and Tang Shanzhi didn't accept it.

After all, every subordinate has his own set of working methods, and as a leader, you can't always interfere arbitrarily, otherwise even if you don't poke Lou Zi, it will slow down the construction period.

This is a lesson that Li Chengqian has spent a long time summing up, so now in many cases he only arranges tasks, and he doesn't care how the guys under him complete it or in what way to complete it.

It's like the ironclad ship in front of him, Li Chengqian doesn't care how this thing is made, even if Tang Shanzhi can blow it up in one night.

……

For four or five days in a row, Li Chengqian spent time in the inspection around Chang'an, until the palace stopped, and after the things about virtue slowly faded, the girl sneakily slipped back to the East Palace.

This incident is too scary, Li Chengqian's principle is to hide if he can, and he must have arrested the old man's junior, although he didn't mean it, but who can guarantee that the old man will not 'retaliate'.

I didn't want to, just after returning to the palace, I saw the old eunuch Fang with a wrinkled face waiting at the door, and when he saw him coming back, he immediately greeted him, and said after giving a salute: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has summoned you over!" ”

Li Chengqian looked helplessly at the old eunuch's almost toothless mouth, shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid you're about to turn 100 years old this year, right?" How can you live so much! “

"Isn't this a blessing from Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and Your Highness!" The old eunuch didn't seem to mind death, and replied with a smile on his face.

"Clichés!" Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, and then said, "What's the matter with my father?" Did you know? ”

"This old minister really doesn't know." The old eunuch Fang shook his head like a rattle, and Li Chengqian thought that if he could shake it faster, he would definitely be able to throw out the few teeth in his mouth.

But whatever, if this old eunuch doesn't want to say it, it's useless for you to force him to death, Li Chengqian has no other way than to scold the old immortal in his heart.

……

I didn't say anything all the way to the old man's study, and after entering the door, I saw that the old man was holding something in a daze, until Li Chengqian was standing in a daze, and then put down the thing and asked, "This is the way you came up with?" Make Xinyang the queen of the Japanese kingdom, and then you can marry her with confidence, right? ”

"Father, don't I have no choice but to watch that girl have an accident, right?" Li Chengqian is not at all surprised that the old man can figure out the purpose of naturalization, if the old man does not have this strength, it will be a complete tragedy.

"What would you do if I didn't agree?" The old man obviously didn't mean to joke with Xiao Li, and he was not impressed by his hippie smiley answer.

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly, he didn't expect the old man to be so serious, but he couldn't help but answer, and said after a moment's hesitation: "Then the minister can only go to the queen mother." ”

Thinking of his wife, Li Er glared at his son without a trace, but he didn't say anything, and only after a pause did he say: "Let's get down to business, what is the current situation in the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"The southern part of the Wa Kingdom is already under our control, and now General Hou is shrinking the momentum of the offensive, intending to push the naturalized people to the front, and then drag the war into a continuous phase." Li Chengqian replied.

"Why stop attacking? Isn't it good to bring down the entire Wa Kingdom? His Majesty Li Er continued to ask.

"Father, the sons and daughters think that the Wa Kingdom is just an enclave, and we can't completely control it with our current strength, rather than staying in our hands and worrying about its rebellion every day, it's better to let him go on like this, when there is a way to deal with it, it's not too late to fight!" Li Chengqian said.

However, some of his words were extremely vague, and I believe that with the shrewdness of the old man, he will be able to understand them.

Sure enough, the old man fell silent after listening to Li Chengqian's explanation, and nodded after a while: "Then do what you want." ”

"Whoa!" Li Chengqian's heart was slightly relieved, and he hurriedly agreed.

With the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is not too difficult to defeat the Japanese state, as long as the logistics can keep up, it can be said that it is effortless, even if the Japanese are fierce, in the case of extremely backward equipment, it is difficult for them to make any waves.

However, it is a difficult problem to conquer the Japanese state and control it easily.

Unlike Goguryeo, Silla and other places, these countries are bordered by the Tang Dynasty, whether it is a king or a king, or send people to manage it, these are easy to say, and after the railway is built in the future, the imperial army can almost come in the morning and evening, so there is no need to worry about its rebellion.

But the Wa Kingdom is different, the Wa Kingdom is relatively an enclave, and the people stationed there can easily have a kind of self-respecting thought, in this case, even if the people who are close to them are placed there, Li Er will not feel at ease.

Therefore, the place of the Wa Kingdom is a chicken-like existence for the current Tang Dynasty, and it is completely worth the loss when it is defeated, and Li Er has passed this point, so he will agree to Li Chengqian's plan.

Soon, however, the old man's attention turned to other issues.

I heard him cough lightly, and then asked, "What happened to the minerals you talked about before?" ”

The point, the point is finally here!

Li Chengqian looked at the old man and licked his lips and said: "The main silver mine is basically controlled in our hands, and it is now being mined, roughly calculated that there should be about 200,000 taels per month, and the gold mine is not much, but there are also thousands of taels per month, and then there is the copper mine, which is about more than 100,000 catties per month." ”

"So much?" The old man finally came to his senses, and the eyes that were almost squinting together opened in an instant.

"But we don't have enough capacity to bring it back."

"What?! So why not build a ship? "I heard that good things can't be shipped back, Lao Li is a little anxious, those gold and silver mines are all mined out and belong to the Tang Dynasty, in other words, he Li Er's, wouldn't it be bad if he couldn't get it back.

"Father, it's time for our sea ships to be replaced, not to mention the size of the old warships, it is not enough to go back and forth for half a year, so we have to wait until the new ironclad ships are launched, this kind of warships all use new technology, and the capacity and speed are far beyond imagination, so Erchen thinks that rebuilding the old ships before is a complete waste of resources, it is better to build a new ship directly, and it may be slower in time, but in the end the waste of resources is the least."
