Wang Ju's excitement is understandable, this small Tiance Mansion, he was the first to participate in it, maybe he was disgusted when he just served Qin Shaoyou, but slowly getting along and gradually integrating, he has already become a member of the Tiance Mansion.

Princess Taiping's matter, he is the main planner, and he has already prepared two sets of plans, and now, the overall situation has been decided, so there are more things that Tiance Mansion can do now.

Wang Ju was serious in his general strategy, and he was never sloppy in details, and soon, he made a set of plans tailored for Qin Shaoyou.

Although the essence of this plan is to expand its strength, the most important issue is to ensure the independence and autonomy of the entire Tiance Mansion.

That is to say, even if the Tiance Mansion completely cuts off any contact with the outside world, it can operate independently, the soldiers' weapons can be built by themselves, and there must be enough food, iron, cloth and other materials in the treasury, and craftsmen from all walks of life must have them, and the most important thing is to increase the use of gunpowder.

Qin Shaoyou needs saltpeter to make ice, and saltpeter can be used to make gunpowder, gunpowder has indeed long been available in Tiance Mansion, part of it is used for military purposes, such as replacing fire oil, and the other part is used to open mountains and quarry.

Of course, the gunpowder made in this most rudimentary way is obviously not enough to really exert the power of gunpowder, but Qin Shaoyou is not in a hurry to make an iron cannon to greatly increase the power of gunpowder, because for Qin Shaoyou, he has always encountered a problem, that is, this unprecedented outcome, once it attracts attention, then I believe that it will not be long before these things will no longer be his own.

And Wang Ju had also made a thorough investigation of Tiance Mansion earlier.

He came to a conclusion, that is, if Qin Shaoyou wanted to get absolute security. It is impossible to rely on the trust of the Son of Heaven, and it must not be to cultivate your own cronies to infiltrate the court, the former is very unreliable, you must know that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, today you can take advantage of this soaring things, tomorrow may be able to take your life. And as for the latter. It takes too long, and it takes at least a few generations to operate, so that it can be like those wealthy families, through the context of relationships, and gradually born and influenced. Qin Shaoyou's background is very low, obviously he is not his strength.

Then the only way is the Tiance Army, which of course does not mean that the Tiance Mansion has the strength to dominate the world. Rather, it can achieve a delicate balance, that is, when the Tiance army encounters strong pressure, it can have the strength to hit the imperial court hard, and the Tiance army does not need to fight with hundreds of thousands of troops and win a big victory, but it needs to be guaranteed that it can seriously weaken any opponent in the Guansai, and this opponent even includes the imperial court. In this way, this balance can be struck. And make Qin Shaoyou invincible.

It's just a few thousand soldiers, and if you want to hit 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, this is simply a wild talk, and if you want to achieve this vision, you must have a killer feature.

Qin Shaoyou's killer feature is his gunpowder and his unique way of using gunpowder.

on the manufacture of gunpowder. The imperial court has not paid much attention to this thing, because the power of gunpowder on the battlefield is to some extent just a jar stuffed with fire oil, but what if there is artillery? Use artillery to get the most out of gunpowder. And not to the towers in the city, with the help of high walls and artillery, as well as the elite Tiance army, as well as the recruited people, it is enough to make Mengjin, a confidant, impregnable.

Qin Shaoyou's thoughts coincided with Wang Ju.

It's just that to make artillery, the difficulty is not in the process, but in the time, if it is made early, there will be people who covet it, once the court sees the power of artillery, it must order you to hand over the formula of gunpowder, since I can also make gunpowder, and the manufacture of artillery is nothing more than copper and iron, you Tiance Army can have a hundred artillery pieces to assist in defense, then the imperial court can easily make a thousand, after all, behind the imperial court, is close to unlimited resources.

But it's too late, and once something happens, even if you build it, if you don't have enough well-trained gunners, I'm afraid that the effect will be reluctant, and it's not enough to take it temporarily.

And now, the marriage of Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping has given Qin Shaoyou the opportunity to be 'presumptuous'.

Almost all craftsmen are ready-made, Yang Wulian in this regard, indeed very meritorious, so that this greedy guy, Qin Shaoyou never cares about his money and food expenditure in building cities and craftsmen, because for Qin Shaoyou, money is the easiest thing to get, and what is really needed is talent, in the process of building the city, Yang Wulian has cultivated a lot of talents, among which there are many craftsmen who are skilled and can forge a hundred forged steel.

Qin Shaoyou drew a drawing of his idea of the artillery according to his memory, and immediately handed it over to Yang Wulian for use, and what Yang Wulian had to do was to find a few skilled craftsmen to make a model, and then conduct a certain degree of test firing, and then improve it. Improvement is necessary, although the artillery depicted by Qin Shaoyou is actually the most primitive, completely at the level of the Ming and Qing dynasties, at most, borrowing some advantages of some red-coated cannons, but he does not dabble in artillery, and many of the things he neglected must be corrected through experiments again and again.

It was Qin Shaoyou's 'whimsy' that immediately attracted Yang Wulian's interest.

The follow-up work of building the city has actually been on the right track, and everything just needs to be done step by step. So Yang Wulian put his mind on artillery.

He works in Lower Muar, Hebei Province, where reclamation has begun to take in, and many displaced people have taken it in, and some are relatives of the craftsmen here, but in the central area, a vacant lot has been carved out.

Here, Yang Wulian hardly sleeped, and some craftsmen tried to build more than a dozen cannons, and these cannons were without exception, and the results were not very satisfactory.

If it is too heavy, it is difficult to move around, and it is extremely difficult to calibrate, but it is too light...... It is even more dangerous, because a cannon exploded, Yang Wulian lay down directly for three days, at this time Yang Wulian realized that the original artillery thing, there is such a big risk, he is no longer greedy for merit, but began to calm down, gathered a skilled craftsman, and began to seriously summarize and conceive a better plan.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Compared with Yang Wulian, Qin Shaoyou's affairs are obviously much easier.

Anima entered the palace and was quite harmonious with Wu Zetian, and then the Qin family began to write a letter to ask for marriage, and there was almost no gap, and this will was issued.

Qin Shaoyou is going to be a colt.

Although this news is difficult to accept, no matter what, it does not cause too many waves.

For Cui Jing and Di Renjie, they are tired, they have spent too much effort because they oppose the princess marrying the Wei family, if they jump out against Qin Shaoyou at this time, it is obviously unwise, because although Qin Shaoyou is not the person they like, but at least, the two sides have not reached the point of dying. What's more, what they are really wary of is the appearance of the second Wu Zetian, that is, it will never be allowed, a woman like Wei Shi will become the second emperor today, and Qin Shaoyou is just a cook after all, he is at most a powerful minister.

On the other hand, there have long been rumors in the market that Qin Shaoyou and Li Lingyue have a personal relationship, and they have a private relationship, even if they are opposed, what can they do? It's just annoying to people.

Inside and outside the government, there was a strange silence.

Even when a marriage edict drawn up by Menxia Province was sent to Zhongshu for final review, Cui Jing read the will and only confirmed that there was nothing missing in the sentence, so he put it aside.

At noon, he would eat tea and some pastries with Zheng Rong and Di Renjie as usual, Cui Jing suddenly smiled bitterly: "After working hard for so many days, I actually made a wedding dress for someone, and the old man seems to be really old." ”

He suddenly sighed, Di Renjie and Zheng Rong were like mirrors in their hearts, of course they knew what Cui Jing was talking about.

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Actually, Qin Shaoyou has a lot of merit on weekdays, and he is not a straw bag, although he benefited this time, but it is nothing, Princess Taiping and His Royal Highness are not close." ”

The latter sentence is the core of Di Renjie's point.

Li Xian obviously doesn't like Princess Taiping, which means that once His Majesty dies and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Princess Taiping will not have much influence in front of the new emperor, the reason why they are afraid of the Wei family is because the Wei family can control the prince, and then control the whole world.

So for Di Renjie, since this is the case, then even if Qin Shaoyou marries Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, so what's the matter? It's just the identity of one more colt, and Datang is more than a colt, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Zheng Rong was a little vigilant, and he couldn't help but say, "I heard that Meng Jin is recruiting troops again." ”

Cui Jing smiled: "He...... It's the same as us. ”

In this sentence, there is a mystery, of course he is Qin Shaoyou, just like us, it is nothing more than planning for the future, at the moment, no one can stay out of what will happen in the future.
