Regarding the proposal to use prisoners of war for road construction and similar large-scale construction work, the civil and military generals who surrounded Li Shimin had a clear difference of opinion.

The military generals led by Cheng Yanjin naturally have a supportive attitude. After all, it is impossible to kill all of these prisoners of war after they get their hands on them. But if you don't kill it, you can't let it go. Keeping in prison not only needs to be guarded by manpower, but also wastes food, which is really a big loss.

If it can be used for road construction and large-scale construction work, it can not only avoid the problems of these guys who have been in prison for a long time, but also solve the trouble of lack of labor. And as someone said, as long as these people are not starved to death, under the high-intensity manual labor, these prisoners of war will no longer have any energy to make trouble, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

But for this proposal, a group of Wenchen led by the eldest grandson Wuji held opposing opinions. In their eyes, the Tang Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and they can fight the enemy on the battlefield, and even when necessary, they can also exterminate the clan and slaughter the city. But to drive prisoners of war to work as laborers for themselves is really too insulting to the face of the Heavenly Empire.

Regarding the different opinions between these courtiers, Li Shimin, as the king of a country, did not immediately give any opinion. Rather, it debunked the topic noncommittally.

"Holy Lord, the minister still has something I want to ask the real person." Seeing this problem, I can only stop it for the time being. Cheng Biting Jin, who glared at the eldest grandson Wuji, spoke again.

"Zhijie, if you have something, you can ask, I believe that the real person will not refuse." At this time, Li Shimin, who also found that the material of the container was very good, said with a smile.

"Cut, how do you know that I won't refuse?" Looking at the other party's casual appearance, Li Anran couldn't help but think: "It's a shame that I didn't plan to enter the system, otherwise, it's like this now, wouldn't I really be like someone in the future." I am oppressed by your Tu tribe every day. "Still. Thinking so, on the surface, he still seemed to be very generous and said: "General Cheng, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Man, since you can bring down these grains from the Upper Realm. I wonder if I can bring more of this kind of good steel? He patted the container next to him. Cheng Yanjin said.

"Good steel?" His eyes fell on Li Anran, who was on the container. He shook his head with a smile and said, "General Cheng, the materials used in these containers are not good steel. Of course, it is enough for you. So be it. I can provide some if there is a need in the Holy Need, but I think it makes more sense to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. ”

"It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish?" Li Shimin, who quickly figured out what the two "fish" were, couldn't help but light up his eyes after chewing carefully, and said: "Good, this is a great good." ”

"Real person, then you mean you want to teach us the art of steelmaking?" The eldest grandson, Wuji, who also reacted, asked.

"Eldest Sun Shangshu, please don't doubt my intentions. I have the method of steelmaking, although due to the limitations of the laws of the Heavenly Dao of the Two Realms, I cannot teach a better method of steelmaking, but it is enough to improve the steelmaking technique of Datang. Glancing at each other playfully, Li Anran said with a smile.

"Uh......" Zhilu said that he stood up several times to find trouble, but the eldest grandson Wuji, who was really looked at by the other party, really regretted it for a while. After all, offending an immortal in the upper realm is really unwise enough.

But when I thought that the eldest grandson and Li Shimin were already grasshoppers on the same rope, and they had been instructed before, this kind of regret could only be recognized by pinching their noses.

At this time, Li Shimin also took over the topic casually to dispel the embarrassment of the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Oh? I wonder how the real person intends to teach it? ”

"Holy Lord, I believe that the Holy Lord of the Gewu Academy and the ministers should have already visited. Since you want to impart knowledge, you naturally have to be in the academy. In addition to enlightenment, in Shinong Industry and Commerce, in addition to scholars, other three industry academies will be taught. Retracting his playful eyes, Li Anran explained with a smile.

"Real person, will the skills of driving this wooden ox and flowing horse also be taught in the academy?" Standing aside, he didn't forget what he thought of Cheng Yanjin, and hurriedly asked.

"Of course." Li Anran, who knew what the other party was plotting, shrugged his shoulders and said.

After getting this affirmative answer, Cheng Yanjin had the heart to ask the other party again if he could follow the army when there was a war. It's good to solve the logistics problem, and even, can you use some immortal magic to get rid of the enemy army. But when I thought that this matter was too involved, I swallowed it back when the words came to my mouth.

On the side, a group of scholars led by the eldest grandson Wuji invariably felt a little violent about imparting these knowledge in such a good academy. Fortunately, these people also know that a country is indeed inseparable from the three industries of agriculture, industry, and commerce, and someone's identity and ability are there, so even if there is some dissatisfaction, no one is stupid enough to raise it at this time.

After feeling that the atmosphere was a little abnormal, Li Shimin, who had stayed here for one night, did not mention the matter of becoming an official in the court with anyone again, but only praised this selfless dedication, and then drove back to the palace. However, before leaving, I didn't forget to let people pack up the things contained in these two wooden cattle and flow horses and take them away.

For this kind of behavior of eating me, drinking me, and packing before leaving, Li Anran, who had some unexpected gains in the previous settlement, not only did not feel unhappy at all, but also hoped that the other party would take as much as possible.

After sending off the team led by Li Shimin to leave, Li Anran did not continue to stay in the barracks. Instead, he shook his hands and returned to Xiaoyao Villa, and then asked Cheng to go to the barracks to get the spinning machine and loom parts left behind back to the villa.

It's not that Li Shimin doesn't want to bring these things back, it's mainly because no one will use this thing even if he takes it back. Moreover, it is still unknown how much impact and impact the new spinning machines, spinning machines, looms and looms will have on the existing cloth industry.

didn't care about how much impact he would have after the official meeting with Li Shimin and other historical figures this time, Li Anran found Zhou Carpenter after returning to the villa, and then printed out NNN parts drawings marked with specific corpses and detailed drawings, and asked them to try to make a new set of spinning machines and looms.

Then he asked Steward Wang to issue a new recruitment information in the villa, and this flash recruitment target is for those female compatriots who have a certain amount of weaving experience. Of course, if you're clever enough, then apply for it too. As for the treatment, after getting along for so long, there is no dealer who does not know the generosity of his young master, so the people who signed up are quite enthusiastic.

That is, in one morning's effort, the entire Xiaoyao Villa has made up a full thirty big girls, little daughters-in-law, children, his #mother, and even grandmother-level manpower who meet the requirements.

After learning that his young master was going to teach people to use the new machine, Steward Wang immediately cleaned up a large yard.

After Li Anran commanded the people in the courtyard to successfully assemble the boxes of parts according to the drawings and videos, he called the applicants to the courtyard and began to teach in the open air.

Because of the detailed pictures and videos, except for the strong fear of the unknown of clear pictures and videos at the beginning, which made Li Anran spend some saliva to appease, the class was barely smooth. However, after a class, Li Anran decisively dismissed the idea of experiencing what it was like to be a teacher again.

Instead, after letting these big girls, little daughters-in-law and children, his # mother and grandmother-level characters go back to study first, they called Xiangyun and Su Xiaomei's two personal maids, Qingwen and Xiangling, to the front of them separately for one-to-two counseling.

With the previous experience of enlightenment and learning with Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, the learning progress and acceptance ability of these two personal maids were far stronger than those female workers who applied for the job.

With just one morning of theoretical teaching and an afternoon of hands-on practice, Xiangling and Qingwen initially mastered the skills of using spinning machines and looms.

Even if the mastery of this skill is still very rusty, it is already a good beginning for Li Anran. The rest just need to keep practicing, and I believe that the proficiency of the skills will naturally improve rapidly. (To be continued......)
