A few days after the king, the official positions that should be divided have also been sealed, and all that remains is to do a good job of border defense, and then govern the country!

Li Yao doesn't understand the thing of governing the country, but Li Yao knows that the people are the foundation of the country, so if you want to govern the country well, you must let the people live well!

Although the powerful are the main controlling force in this society, Li Yao wants to weaken the influence of this powerful person, otherwise it will be really difficult for the people to think about the oppression of the powerful!

Li Yao called Ye He and asked, "How long will it take for you to restore Yiguo's national strength to its original state!" ”

Ye He thought for a moment and said, "I need at least three years, although this war will not harm most of the territory of Yiguo, but there are still many places that need to be well managed!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Okay, three years is three years, I'll give you three years, don't let me down!" ”

Ye He nodded and said, "King Ning, don't worry, after three years, I will definitely give you back a fruitful benefit!" ”

Although King Qi's body still looks very tough now, he will definitely start to elect the next King of Qi after three years, and it is very likely that he will attack me within three years, and it seems that the border troops must be prepared for defense!

The Uighur princes also came with some white stacks (cotton) and hops, which were used to brew beer, but white stacks were a strategic material, with cotton they could make cotton clothes, cotton pants, and cotton shoes, and the soldiers would be able to fight in winter!

The Uighur prince also wanted to have a good relationship with Li Yao, because it was very difficult for the Uighur prince to win the Uighur king, and it was difficult for him to rely on his own power, and Li Yao certainly wanted to have a good relationship with the Uighur prince, and even send troops to assist, but in exchange, Li Yao had to buy a few places as his own stronghold to facilitate the transaction!

Because the Uighurs were herdsmen, they did not have a particularly strong sense of territory, but they could not give Li Yao too much land at will, so he said: "I will give you at most three places within a radius of no more than ten miles for you to do business, and beyond this place, you will not be able to interfere with my sovereignty!" ”

Li Yao just wanted to put some nails in the Uighurs and wait for the next year to take this place in one fell swoop, so he nodded happily and said: "Of course this is no problem, I only did business in the past, and I didn't fight in the past, and I will definitely not do anything that violates your sovereignty, and if you need my help, I can also send troops from those three camps to help you in time, what do you think?" ”

After hearing this, the Uighur prince clapped his hands and said, "Then thank you brother-in-law, it is really good that you support me like this!" ”

Li Yao smiled and said, "It's all a family, and you still say such polite words!" ”

The Uighur prince hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, we are all a family, and we must help each other!" ”

Li Yao said: "By the way, if you have other horses, you can discuss with the chief officers in these three camps, and I can provide you with enough food and pig iron, even if it is a ready-made weapon, so that your military strength can become stronger!" ”

When the Uighur prince heard Li Yao's words, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "That's great, I'm worried that I don't know who to trade with, and with such a powerful ally as you, I feel that Allah is rewarding me!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "Okay, then you can go back, I will also send someone to find you later, and then discuss the follow-up matters!" ”

When the Uighur prince heard Li Yao's words, he stood up and said, "Then brother-in-law, I will go back first, and you must send someone over in time!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Then you can rest assured, I will send someone over soon!" ”

After the Uighur prince left, Li Yao called Shen Hezhi, Shen Hezhi was a very good person, when Li Yao first entered Yiguo, it was Shen Hezhi who was in charge of transporting firearms and other items, so Li Yao was very relieved of Shen Hezhi!

Shen Hezhi came to the main hall and shouted, "See King Ning!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "No need to be polite, come and sit!" ”

After Shen Hezhi sat down, Li Yao said, "I called you over this time to give you an important task!" ”

Shen Hezhi asked, "King Ning, please speak!" ”

Li Yao said: "I have made an agreement with the Uighur prince, where I can legally own three camps within a radius of ten miles to facilitate trade, I will let you go, on the one hand, to be in charge of trade, and on the other hand, let that place be used as a supply depot for our cavalry, if I want to attack the Uighurs, you are the nail I drove in, and whether I can attack the Uighurs in the future depends on how deep you knock this nail in!" ”

Shen Hezhi hurriedly nodded and said, "King Ning, rest assured, I will definitely live up to my mission!" ”

Okay, I'll give you hundreds of craftsmen and 5,000 foot soldiers, and there will be a lot of firearms, and the Uighur prince will definitely not attack you if he wants to strengthen his power in the past three years, and I am afraid that when the Uighur prince is full-fledged, he will attack you, so after you pass, you must build a strong castle, plus there are firearms to defend it, you can definitely defend long enough places! And if our cavalry finds a problem, it will only take seven days at most to arrive, so you don't have to worry too much about safety!

Shen Hezhi patted his chest and said, "For the sake of King Ning's plan, I have already put life and death out of the way!" ”

Li Yao stood up, patted Shen Hezhi on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job, I believe that your future will definitely be more than this!" ”

Shen Hezhi hurriedly said, "Thank you King Ning for your promotion!" ”

"That's it!" Li Yao said: "You go down and prepare, and set off early!" ”

Shen Hezhi stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll retire first!" ”

The Uighur affairs have also been explained clearly, and the people of Yiguo are about to start recuperating and recuperating, and I hope that God will take care of me more in the past three years, and that there will be no natural disasters!

Three years have passed in a hurry, Li Yao spent most of his time in the firearms city and docks, and in three years, the craftsman king built a total of five million-pound warships, each warship is equipped with 30 guns, and the crew is 5,000 people, the lineup is not strong, the navy has recruited a total of 30,000 people, after three years, they are trained very bravely, and they are even more powerful in cooperation with warships!

In the past three years, Qi Guo has not done anything to himself, but he has not expressed other meanings, even about the New Year's Festival, no one in Qi Country has come to inform Li Yao to see, so the queen of Qi sent Li Yao a few letters, asking Li Yao to take care of his body!

After reading a few letters, this made Li Yao feel warm in his heart, how to say that he is also their own son, it seems that King Qi is now old, and he is reluctant to attack himself!

This made Li Yao full of confidence, without the ties of Qi State, he could rest assured that he would attack Li State, and when Li State was defeated, he would be able to dominate the Jiangnan States!

In the past three years, Li Yao has gained a lot, and the Firearms City has improved a new type of cannon, which is more powerful than before, and has also created a cannon with a larger caliber, which is installed on the warship and used as the main gun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of such powerful firepower, if you can't dominate the coast, Jiangnan and other countries, it will be really useless, and the warship relies on steam engine power, even if it is countercurrent, you don't have to worry about the problem of power, which is why there is obviously the technology to make a big ship now, but it can't make a big ship, because of the power, there is not enough power, even if the big ship is manufactured, it is a piece of waste!

In addition to the five warships, Li Yao also built a lot of troop carriers, and the troop carriers are also made of iron, because many of Li Yao's soldiers don't know how to water, if you want to transport troops on a large scale from the river or sea, the safety of the soldiers must be guaranteed, and the iron ship does not have to worry about this aspect of the matter at all, if you encounter the enemy on the opposite side, just hit it directly, and the wooden boat is still vulnerable under the collision of the iron ship!

The people of Yiguo have also been well cultivated in the past three years, and under the fierce suppression of the blind, the magnates have begun to pay taxes, and the Liang Dynasty is not blockading Yiguo, and Yiguo's economy has begun to pick up!

As for the wives and concubines in the harem, Li Yao also picked them, but because there was not much time, the girls were not pregnant, but Li Yao didn't feel anything, because he didn't have many opportunities to make love with them, and he knew that it was not so simple to get pregnant, but Li Yao saw that the women were secretly drinking tocolytic pills, which made Li Yao vigilant, they didn't drink the medicine indiscriminately and drank their bodies, and then asked the guards to check and found that there were some tonics inside, so Li Yao didn't say anything!

Now that the national strength has been restored, Li Yao's next target is the Li State, and the major ports of the Li State have already arranged spies, and the situation inside has been clearly felt, so Li Yao plans to go out and capture the Li State in three days!

Let Anzhu solve the logistics matters, Anzhu is a businessman, so there are many warehouses at the dock, and then a considerable amount of grain was purchased in the Li country, and it was piled up in the warehouse, as for the logistics such as firearms, it was followed by logistics, and the degree of secrecy of this thing was relatively high, so I didn't dare to put it in the warehouse casually!

Three days later, Li Yao stood on the dock, looked at the five behemoths in front of him, and said to the craftsman king standing next to him: "Grandpa, you are really powerful, such a big warship can be made!" ”

The body of the craftsman king is still very tough, looking at his work in front of him, he said with satisfaction: "Yao'er, I can tell you responsibly that these five warships can definitely dominate the sea, this is the most perfect work I have ever made!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "Grandpa, it's too much for you to say that, you will definitely be able to make better things in the future!" ”

The craftsman king smiled: "I have decided, in two years I should almost retire, I have made so many things, I have already gone down in history!" ”

Li Yao saw that the craftsman king also slowly wanted to retire, so he said, "Grandpa, can you teach in Firearms City after you retire?" Wouldn't it be better to bring out more excellent students! ”

The craftsman king patted Li Yao's head and said with a smile: "Yao'er, you really want to squeeze my last labor!" ”

Li Yao said: "Grandpa, I'm afraid that you won't know what to do when you retire in the future, if you can publish a book and write a biography, it will definitely be a famous existence in history!" ”

When the craftsman king heard this biography, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly asked: "This biography is not so simple, I may not be able to reach it like this!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "Grandpa, you said that you made artillery, guns, warships, so many great works, how can you be able to publish a book and a biography!" ”

The craftsman king suddenly said: "Then I will teach students with peace of mind in the future, so that more students can learn my knowledge, and I will not live my life in vain!" ”

Li Yao said: "Grandpa, I am going to create an academy, that is, based on Firearms City, to establish an academy of sciences, which is dedicated to making things, and as long as things are made, there will be a heavy reward, I want you to be the dean of this academy, what do you think?" ”

The craftsman king thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Your suggestion is very good, now I know that the role of making things is too great, with firearms warships, even incompetent people can use force to conquer the world!" ”

Li Yao also nodded and said: "I established this academy with the purpose of rejuvenating the country through science and technology, and when the time comes, this academy will bring together all the talents in the world, and you will be busy at that time!" ”

As soon as the craftsman king thought that he would be able to manage all the talents in the world at that time, he immediately said: "Yao'er, don't worry, I will definitely manage the Academy of Sciences well!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Then please grandpa, when I attack the Li State, I will use my advantage to attack several other coastal countries, and then five warships will not be enough!" ”

The craftsman king frowned and said, "Yao'er, our five warships cost tens of millions of taels of silver, and the daily maintenance cost is a lot of money, if you are manufacturing in large quantities, we may really not be able to afford it!" ”

Li Yao looked at the five behemoths and said: "Grandpa, without strong force, no one will send you money, if we have enough money, we can't get any money, you can rest assured that you can do it, I'll figure out a way to deal with money!" ”

The craftsman king nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just make it, but you must pay attention to proportion, you can't make it without the support of the people!" ”

Li Yao smiled and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, even if I rob money, I will only rob the money of other races, just look at Yiguo, when did I collect harsh taxes from the people?" ”

The craftsman king thought about it carefully, and Li Yao was indeed very good to the people under his rule, so he said: "It's good if you don't detain the people!" ”

Li Yao watched as his soldiers basically got on the troop carrier, and then said to the craftsman king: "Grandpa, then I will go on the expedition!" ”

The craftsman king nodded and said, "Okay, have a good trip!" ”

Li Yao never let women see him off when he went on expeditions, because he felt that men should have done big things, and women were responsible for being beautiful at home, and they could teach their husbands and children!

In fact, Li Yao didn't want a woman to see her off, and another point was that Li Yao was afraid that he would be reluctant to give up everything he had, and once he was in love, it would be easy to do bad things, so Li Yao would rather wait for the expedition to come back and enjoy the joy of reunion than enjoy the sadness before the expedition!

100,000 foot soldiers all stepped on the troop transport ship, and 25,000 sailors also boarded the five warships, Li Yao stood on the main ship and waved his hand, shouting: "Go!" ”

Because the warship is steam-powered, the sound when it starts is particularly loud, and with the sound of whining, the warship begins its journey to the country of Leba. (To be continued.) )
