Li Yuanba's words suddenly made Zhao Sanpao feel inexplicable, didn't he just say it so casually? What makes a big difference?

didn't wait for Zhao Sanpao to ponder the taste, and listened to Li Yuanba continue:

"Three cannons, you think, there are a lot of homeless people in the mountains and fields of our Tang Dynasty, and many of these homeless people will starve to death and freeze to death every year, but even so, they don't dare to appear in the city, after all, although there are records of their household registration in the government, but there is no identity of them, and once they are caught by the government, they will be sent back to their hometown."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanba shook his head and said, "In their hometown, there is already nothing left, good land, houses, and money...... Go back, they're just waiting to die! ”

This time, Zhao Sanpao finally understood: "Yes, that's the truth!" The homeless people do not have a household registration in the government, and this identity is gone, and there is naturally no requirement for what is not rooted. ”

"That's it!" Li Yuanba directly set the main tone, "In this way, you go to Wang Jun immediately now, and ask him to draw up a charter for this matter according to the king's intentions, and then hand it over to Your Majesty to see what Your Majesty means?" ”

"No!"

Zhao Sanpao responded, his face full of excitement.

There is another battle to be fought, and Zhao Sanpao, as a battle maniac, is naturally very excited.

……

From the second day, Li Yuanba rushed back to Dengzhou with the army of Shenwuwei, accompanied by Jindeman and his maids in addition to some Tianjiwei.

Everything seems to have become busy, and a large number of displaced people were taken out by the government to Dengzhou, which was originally just a city with a permanent population of tens of thousands, and almost became overcrowded because of this.

Outside the castle, many huge tents were set up, and the tents were next to each other to prevent the spread of epidemics. Li Yuanba also deliberately made a lot of wormwood, and asked those homeless people to clean up every day, just like soldiers, and frantically instilled in them the concept of loyalty to Li Shimin and loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.

As for the logistics, they have been preparing in an orderly manner.

A large amount of grain, grass, ordnance and other materials are also walking towards Dengzhou, and the people of Dengzhou seem to have become nervous, and many ships have also strengthened their inspection work under the instruction of Li Yuanba.

It was also when Dengzhou was in full swing to prepare for the war, in the imperial city of Chang'an City. But for the sake of Li Yuanba's preparation, he fought to the death.

In the Liangyi Hall, there were a lot of people standing in the hall, and at first glance they were all important ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!" The eldest grandson Wuji had a gloomy face, and said: "We have just experienced the war of the five surnames and seven hopes, and the soldiers have not yet recovered. ”

Li Shimin heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji. He shook his head helplessly and said:

"Wuji, the reason for this expedition to the Wa Kingdom, I have already explained it very clearly to you. Gunpowder is the most important weapon of my Tang Dynasty. It is absolutely forbidden to be controlled by foreigners! I don't know where I got the design drawings of my Datang primary hand cannon, and now it has been manufactured, although the power is mediocre, it has become an established fact! If you let them go down and leave them alone. Who knows if there will be more powerful firearms? ”

"Your Majesty, the matter of gunpowder is indeed very important, but the Wa country is overseas. If you want to send troops to the Wa State at this time, you must dispatch my Datang naval army! ”

When he said this, Eldest Sun Wuji's face became even more ugly, he turned his head to look at the generals who held military power present, and continued:

"The naval army in the direction of Dengzhou was damaged by His Royal Highness King Wu, and the whole was disabled, and even the naval commander was gone, how could this battle be fought? Don't you have to transfer the water army from somewhere else? Such unwarranted consumption can be avoided. ”

Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji a little strangely, and said:

"Mowgli, when did I say that I was going to send out a navy? Now that I have agreed to the Martial King's suggestion, then everything will be handled by the Divine Warrior Guard! The reason I've called you here now is to discuss the feasibility of this matter with you! ”

"This ......"

Eldest Sun Wuji's face was a little red, it was really like that, His Majesty the Emperor didn't say that he must dispatch a naval army this time, and it seemed that every battle was indispensable for the charge of the Shenwu guards.

"Hey, it's broken, right?" Cheng Yanjin chuckled, the expression on his face was a little sinister, "Elder Sun Lao Yinren, you also have today!" ”

"Zhijie, you don't have to say a word!" Li Jing glared at Cheng Yanjin angrily, turned around and looked at Li Shimin and said:

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this matter is feasible. First of all, our domestic homeless people have always been a knife stuck in the heart of our court, even if everything in the country seems to be peaceful, but these homeless people have always existed. Secondly, the matter of gunpowder is too important to us, since the Japanese can imitate cannons, who can guarantee that they will not make firearms, catapults, and even Shenwu cannons? ”

Speaking of this, Li Jing stopped, arched his hands and saluted: "So, Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this battle must be fought, and the grass must be cut to the roots!" ”

"yes, fuck it!" Cheng bit Jin, a rammer, and his stubborn temper was committed again, and he began to scold in front of Li Shimin.

"Alright, this matter is settled!" Li Shimin finally made a decision, "Xuan Ling, you will go to the household department later, see which places have more displaced people, organize them, and send them all to Dengzhou." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling replied and said, "Your Majesty, can you notify the Martial King?" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Well, you can do this thing!" ”

……

Dengzhou City, a branch of Shenji Mansion on an isolated island.

Li Yuanba stood in a large courtyard with a single door, with an unconcealable excitement on his face.

Large white steam is constantly coming out of the house, and it looks like a crater, constantly bubbling hot.

This mansion was named "Artifact Bureau" by Li Yuanba, and it was actually the place that was originally used to develop steam engines in Dengzhou City.

When this isolated island on the sea became a branch of the Shenji Mansion, Li Yuanba brought the secret agency, along with the various technicians inside, to the island and reorganized it into the "Artifact Bureau".

After all, this isolated island has already been built into a place like a military fortress by Li Yuanba, not only equipped with all kinds of heavy firearms, but also guarded by heavily armed Shenwu guards, whether it is secrecy or security, it is even higher than the Shenji Mansion in Chang'an.

After such a long period of research, development, and repeated trials, yesterday, Li Yuanba finally got a good news, that is, the steam engine was developed.

Now, Li Yuanba is in a mood of excitement to witness the arrival of this great moment.

Opening the courtyard gate, there are several small courtyards of the rotary type, each of which has a Shenwu guard with a new type of firearm, guarding with a serious expression.

As soon as he walked through the third small courtyard, Li Yuanba heard a roar that was both unfamiliar and familiar, which was the sound made by the machinery when it was turning rapidly.

In Li Yuanba's previous life, he could hear it almost everywhere, but after arriving in Datang, this was the first time Li Yuanba had heard such noise.

Of course, in his previous life, Li Yuanba would not have thought that this kind of sound was beautiful music, because it was too common in that world, and it was generally irritating.

But at the moment, Li Yuanba even had an urge to cry excitedly.

Unable to hold back the excitement in his heart any longer, Li Yuanba almost flew into the third courtyard, and what appeared in front of him in the courtyard was a complex machine that was more than nine feet high.

Whether you look from above or from below, the most conspicuous thing is the huge gears, the cylinders that look like buckets, and the huge boiler that constantly makes a crunching sound.

Two warriors with their backs and bare upper bodies shook their two powerful arms, and used special shovels to continuously throw carefully selected charcoal into the boiler eyes.

It's not that the boiler has to be replaced with charcoal, but to present the best side of the steam engine to Li Yuanba.

The person who presided over the research and development and manufacturing of the steam engine was a middle-aged man named Zihan, whose surname Zi is rare in Datang, or it can be said that only some special people can take Zi as their surname.

And Zi Han is this kind of person, the Ink Guild is the contemporary Mozi.

As for why Zihan appeared here, it was of course because of Heijin's recommendation.

Of course, words can't be so absolute.

In addition to the introduction of black gold, Li Yuanba also played a key role in relying on the epoch-making things that the Shenji Mansion had concocted.

The Mohists have always been famous for their manufacturing and mechanical skills, and the Ink Guild has also left behind some research and development and manufacturing materials related to mechanical techniques and even machinery.

However, those are all things left by the ancestors of the Ink Guild during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although Zihan and they have been studying these things over the years, they have never had any eyebrows.

After all, whether it was the controversy of the hundred schools of thought or the book burning of Qin Shi Huang's Confucianism, the Ink Guild suffered heavy losses and lost a lot of precious materials.

These things in the Divine Machine Mansion are exactly what the Ink Guild has been researching, and many of them have not even thought about it.

This time he had the opportunity to get in touch with those things, and out of Zihan, who wanted to develop the idea of the Ink Maker Guild, he was naturally willing to work for Li Yuanba.

If the Shenji Mansion in Chang'an City represents the most high-end manufacturing level of Datang, then the Shenji Mansion branch on this isolated island represents the top scientific and technological level of the entire earth.

The branch of the Shenji Mansion has overwhelmed the Shenji Mansion! (To be continued......)
