Li Er laughed and went out of the palace, how could he hide it from the eldest grandson Wuji, so he paid attention, didn't the housekeeper bring this bad news now, which made him frightened: The three of them can refine 100 catties of iron every day? How is this possible? You must know that the countless ironcraft workshops of his eldest grandson's family, and the countless skilled blacksmiths who have worked hard can only produce such output every day.

So the eldest grandson Wuji was speechless, sitting on the Taishi's chair, thinking expressionlessly. The news he just learned is not good news for their family, how much effort he has put in in the past few years, how much interest he has given up in exchange for this situation, and now once he returns to the pre-liberation period, how can he accept it for a while?

The technology of the empire, he didn't dare to covet it, otherwise Li Er would be the first to not let him go, but if he didn't do anything, then all the efforts of the eldest grandson family over the years would be in vain. Stretch out your hand and press your index finger to the center of your eyebrows, how long has it been since you encountered such a tricky problem? The eldest grandson Wuji doesn't remember, anyway, after Li Er took the throne, he has never encountered such a helpless thing again.

Of course, this is not his biggest headache, his biggest headache is that his sister seems to have played an important role in this matter. What should she do? The eldest grandson Wuji knows his sister too well, don't look at her has always been very shrewd, she takes care of everything in an orderly manner, and refuses to eat at all. But when it comes to personal feelings, they often prefer to be wronged rather than hurt the people they care about. I really don't know how she should face the current situation? And it doesn't matter on my side, although the efforts made in the past few years have been in vain. But it's just money, as long as you have been firmly supporting Your Majesty, then you will gain more. What is this loss?

The eldest grandson Wuji guessed well, and the eldest grandson queen was frowning at this time, caressing her slightly bulging belly. Although she knew that it was not good to be so worried during pregnancy, she couldn't help it, she was involved in this matter, but as a result, her mother's family suffered unprecedented losses, although she didn't know whether Erlang, who gave her advice, was intentional or unintentional. But it always made her feel sorry for her brother.

But things are a good thing for the entire Tang Dynasty, which makes the eldest grandson queen very pleased, at least her husband is very happy. That kid is really the lucky star of the Tang Empire, and the merits he has done over the years for the entire empire have made him outstanding among the princes. Even more dazzling than Li Chengqian, who has slowly begun to learn how to deal with political affairs. Even if it is only in the eyes of a few people, because these things are not unknown, Li Er is afraid of the mysterious master behind Li Kuan. So everything that can be suppressed by this news has been suppressed. Only a few henchmen he absolutely trusted knew all about it.

"Initiation Niangniang. The eldest grandson asks to see! The maid beside her whispered to Empress Changsun.

"Oh! Let him in! Empress Changsun was not surprised, the arrival of her brother was expected by her, and if such a thing happened, with the character of Changsun Wuji, he would definitely come to discuss it with her. Otherwise, the two siblings have different positions, and it is easy to hurt their feelings.

"The minister Sun Wuji greets Niangniang!" After the eldest grandson Wuji came in, he still paid a big salute, although the person in front of him was his sister-in-law, but she was also the queen of the main palace of the emperor, and there was a difference between the monarch and the minister.

"Brother. Why so much courtesy? There are no outsiders here! The eldest grandson hurriedly got up and helped the eldest grandson Wuji up.

"Etiquette must not be wasted! Niangniang, this time the old minister is here because of the method of steelmaking! I don't know ...... "The eldest grandson Wuji was not polite to his sister." directly explained the intention, he couldn't think about this matter clearly, if he didn't figure out who was doing these small actions behind his back, it would make him sleep.

"I knew that my brother was here for this, so my sister said it directly. This steel-making method was given to me by Erlang's little guy, and I asked me to pass it on to His Majesty. I also asked, and he said that it was not a major military matter, but only a small technical improvement. I didn't care about it at the time, I know! "The eldest grandson is not good to say any further, this result is something that these two brothers and sisters did not expect, and even if they don't trust each other very much, it may also cause a gap between the brothers and sisters.

"Is it His Royal Highness the King of Chu? I should have thought of it a long time ago, and only the mysterious master of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, scientists, have such technology, this is the gospel of my Tang Dynasty! The eldest grandson Wuji first sighed, but after the admiration, he was embarrassed: "It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that more than 1,000 people in my eldest grandson's family will not be able to eat!" Alas! How can you rest on your laurels for long! ”

"Why did my brother say this! It's not just you, it's the whole Datang, it's just that the scientist is too advanced! Empress Eldest Sun was relieved, knowing that her brother had fallen this time. After the emergence of this new steelmaking method, the production of steel increased greatly, and the equipment of the army in the future will be updated, and most of them will use steel. As the first supplier of Datang ironware, the Changsun family can only provide ironware, and the final result can only be eliminated, which is an inevitable result, unless the Changsun family can master such a technology. But Li Er won't let him get his wish. Because Li Kuan was careful, in addition to this method of frying steel, he also added a sentence in that bag: "Erchen tasted it, salt and iron are the foundation of the country, indispensable, how can it be controlled by private individuals, it is tantamount to killing the neck?" ”

Just this sentence broke Li Er's idea of teaching this steel frying method to the eldest grandson's family. When Li Er saw this sentence at that time, his mind turned away: This is indeed the truth! Salt is something that everyone has to eat, and if you don't eat it, you will get sick, not only people but also animals, so the salt pond in the deep mountains will be patronized by countless animals, even if you know that there are dangerous carnivores in the vicinity, those elk and other herbivores are also duty-bound. Iron is the most important mineral deposit for building weapons, weapons are the most indispensable part of defending the country, and it is difficult to defeat the 100,000 armies with their bare hands. Is it really foolproof to hand over such an important thing to the eldest grandson Wuji? Maybe he was there, and this was indeed the case when the eldest grandson Wuji was there, but no one could live forever at this time, when their older generation died, would the children and grandchildren of the eldest grandson family still be willing to be subservient? So Li Er decided to set up the country's own Casting Weapons Division this time. In the past, there was also such a department, but it was not large-scale, and it was only responsible for the production of blades for high-ranking generals, and the weapons provided by the eldest grandson family accounted for most of the weapons of low-level soldiers. Now it is time to forge the weapons and armor used by low-level soldiers, and no longer rely too much on the eldest grandson family.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't know this, but even if he knew, it didn't matter, after he knew that this was Li Kuan's handiwork, he decided to give up this piece of weapon casting and concentrate on building agricultural tools, which was also a vast market, enough to feed the eldest grandson's family. It is not impossible to free up countless blacksmiths without casting iron, and you can build more agricultural tools.

This concession was made by the eldest grandson Wuji after thinking about it for a long time, because he didn't want to ruin the relationship between himself and Li Er and his wife because of these money, and he was very clear, his most important advantage was that the eldest grandson queen was his sister-in-law, Li Er and he had an iron relationship, and regarded him as a minister of the humerus. This is his biggest reliance, as long as he maintains this advantage, then he can get back if he loses something else.

"This is His Royal Highness the King of Chu taking revenge on me! As early as when he arranged Cheng to bite the gold, Lao Chen knew that he couldn't run away, how did he know that he would be so ruthless, this trick would ruin all the efforts of Lao Chen in the past few years! The eldest grandson Wuji didn't have so many scruples in front of his sister, and directly said his speculation.

"What? Is this Erlang taking revenge on you, brother? Empress Eldest Sun was a little surprised, there was no conflict between the two in her impression!

"Yes, revenge on the old minister for teaching the prince to oppose him, the old minister didn't know the master behind him, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu was very brilliant. So the old minister felt that he was the prince's biggest rival, so he secretly mentioned a few words to the prince. The eldest grandson Wuji's old face turned red, after all, this thing was not honorable, and it was a bit unspeakable to mention it in front of his sister.

"But why did Jiro get me involved?" Empress Eldest Sun asked puzzled.

Empress Changsun has always called herself 'I' in front of her brother instead of 'Bengong', which makes Changsun Wuji's heart warm, at this time, I heard my sister ask like this, and I was also puzzled, according to Li Kuan's character, this matter will never let Empress Changsun interfere, after all, this is also suspected of provoking the feelings of Empress Changsun's brothers and sisters, Li Kuan will not be unexpected, but why did he still do this?

"This old minister is also very puzzled!" Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head, unable to think of an answer. However, the two did not dwell on this matter for too long, and the eldest grandson Wuji had no intention of looking for Li Kuan's bad luck. But another thing has already been brought up by the eldest grandson Wuji, which is something that Li Kuan has always wanted to avoid, but it still came as scheduled. At this time, Li Kuanyuan was thousands of miles away in Tianshui Right Guard, and in the days to come, he was going to go out to conquer the Turks, and he might not be able to stop this matter.

Of course, there may be exceptions, such as Empress Changsun or Li Er who disagree, but this possibility is very small, the relationship between the two families is there, and this time the steel speculation law made the eldest grandson Wuji suffer a dumb loss, Li Er and his wife feel that they can't stand this uncle of the country, and it is very likely that they agree. But there is still time, and when Li Kuan comes back, it may not necessarily reach the worst situation, and at that time, Li Kuan may still have a chance to save room. It's just that it depends on the harvest of Li Kuan's trip to the grassland, after all, it takes more than a little bit to stop that incident. (To be continued......)
