Chapter 216: Datang Weapons Research Institute (II)
"Xiaochen thinks that many of my Datang's sophisticated equipment, such as the Firearms Bureau, etc., are all under the Ministry of Industry, but their effectiveness is mostly used in the army, and weapons and armor are the same......" Zhong Hua This guy spoke very organized, not only for the Firearms Bureau, but also for the weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty, there are more than ten kinds of armor alone, in addition to Mingguang, Guangyao, chains, mountain texts, bird hammers, fine scale armor is iron armor, and even what wooden armor, leather armor, in short, the classification is too complicated, and too refined, The Ministry of Industry should not only support the military, but also be in charge of civilian industrial and agricultural construction, which will reduce the innovation and improvement of military weapons and equipment, therefore, Zhong Hua suggested that part of the functions should be separated from the Ministry of Industry, separately, specifically for the service of military institutions, and each type of standard weapon should be strictly reviewed and inspected, and more emphasis should be placed on its practical and durable surnames, and after the merit is improved, it should first be handed over to a small number of troops for trial, and if feasible, it should be handed over to the Ministry of Industry for mass production. It can not only eliminate a number of utensils that lack practical value and complex craftsmanship, but also reduce the waste of finance.
Zhong Hua's clever tongue was like a spring, and his speech was very affectionate and good-looking, so that the old man who gave priority to military interests nodded in unison, Li Jing, Li Ji, and Uncle Cheng, who is not a military personnel, for this kind of thing, it is naturally 120,000 points in favor, and what he said is also very reasonable, and he did not reduce the authority of the Ministry of Industry, but only carried out a small amount of differentiation, so that the Ministry of Industry can more systematically work on the national proposal without distraction.
"Hmm...... What do you think? Uncle Li twitched the corners of his mouth and squinted at me.
"Good." Li Jing expressed his heart in just one word. "In this way, the military soldiers can have sharper weapons and stronger armor, why not?" Uncle Li Ji said.
Uncle Cheng shook his head, touched the steel whiskers that were several times harder than pig bristles, and smiled happily: "The old man also thinks it's very good." ”
Uncle Li nodded, it was considered to approve of this matter, and then it was much simpler, and he directly transferred some skilled, loyal and credible craftsmen to the prison, and the reading power became a department. The beautiful name is called: Martial Arts Research Institute. When Zhong Hua, who had successfully retired, at the temporary gate of the palace, his eyes swept over me, and I told him with my eyes, little comrade, you are doing a good job! Seeing this guy leave the Manna Palace, Uncle Li began to beckon people to serve wine and food.
"Virtuous son-in-law, you have worked hard for the past few days, the sand table can be completed, you have contributed a lot, but the old man still has something to ask you, do you still feel wronged?" Uncle Li reclined on the couch, put the wine and food on the table, and after drying the wine in the glass, he smiled at me.
"No, the son-in-law doesn't think that the uncle's love and care are already clear to the nephew." Li Jing and the others are here, Uncle Li asked vaguely, we have to answer more vaguely.
"Hehehe, it's good to know, the old man cherishes your talent and doesn't want you to fall into strife, by the way, what Zhong Qing said today, but what you planned?" Uncle Li smiled and said very kindly.
"It was indeed reminded by the son-in-law, but the person who planned this matter was single-handedly done by Lord Zhong, and it is good for the country and the people, and the son-in-law just made some suggestions from it." ――
"Okay, okay, the old man only let you be a low-key person, but he didn't let you put all the credit on others...... Uncle Li said angrily.
"The son-in-law is young, although this matter is weak, I really don't dare to take credit." I'm very humble.
Uncle Cheng laughed: "Okay! is worthy of being the son-in-law of my old Cheng family...... Come, the old man will give you a drink. As soon as these words came out, Uncle Li's angry old face was dark, his eyes were on fire, and he glared at Uncle Cheng, it seemed that Uncle Cheng's words provoked a fire, unfortunately, the old guy was cheeky, pretending not to see Uncle Li's eye dart, bang, a glass of wine went down, and munched on the food on the table.
Uncle Li laughed angrily: "Old man Cheng, this matter has been revealed, do you still want to make trouble?" ”
"What does Your Majesty mean by this, Lao Cheng doesn't mean that, he just thinks that what his son-in-law said is really ......" Uncle Cheng's hippie smile made Uncle Li really a dog bite a hedgehog, and there was nowhere to put his mouth, too, although Uncle Cheng's daughter is not a princess, but she is also the wife of this son-in-law, and a son-in-law shouted right, but the tone is a little something, it seems that the two old men still have some stalks about this matter.
Li Jing smiled helplessly and stood up to toast the round, Uncle Li went down the steps, his face gradually eased, and he fought with Uncle Cheng a few more words before he stopped. I clearly heard Uncle Li's heart: "Old man Cheng." ”
Swept the dishes on the table, Uncle Li seemed to like the atmosphere of eating more people, the big guys toasted each other, ate and drank, and a few bloody old men chatted about the past, that is, which famous general was killed here, who was chopped there, and I was very glad that I met only a group of soldiers, not a group of forensic doctors, otherwise, I am afraid that this meal will not be able to be eaten. Most of the dishes on the table went into our stomachs, and Uncle Li made a wine uh with satisfaction, and let people disperse the wine and food, and replaced them with fragrant tea: "By the way, how many Buddhist classics such as the Diamond Sutra have been printed now?" ”
"There are more than 4,500 volumes of the Diamond Sutra, and other scriptures are being reprinted, and by the end of May, 30,000 should be available." I did a little math, and reported a number to Uncle Li, since the paper was released shortly after the year, the printing speed of movable type printing by borrowing the power of the waterwheel can be described as crazy, although it can not catch up with the speed of piracy in later generations, but it is dozens of times faster than the previous engraving printing, and after the use of the waterwheel drive, it also saves a lot of manpower and material resources.
"Well, it's a pity, if it weren't for the strategy of dealing with Tibet, the old man wouldn't have spent so much spare money to print these useless things." Uncle Li shook his head with emotion, although after the improvement of papermaking and printing, the printing cost of books has dropped to a very low level, but Uncle Li still feels very sorry for every copper coin in the treasury.
"By the way, the old man has one thing, although he wants to discuss it with you......" Uncle Li stood up and walked around the soft couch when he was full, as if he was considering the choice of words.
There was a sudden silence, and the three military generals all looked at me with very kind and encouraging eyes. Do you want to do it? If you have doubts in your heart, it doesn't mean that you are hesitant in action: "Although my father-in-law said it bluntly, my son-in-law should go to the soup and fight the fire!" "It's time to express loyalty, and hurry up and pat your chest to pack the ticket, which is very heroic and authentic. I was thinking in my heart, didn't Uncle Li want me to be a coolie again?
"Hehehe, the virtuous son-in-law has the heart of serving the country for the people, and the old man already knows it," Li Shuhan patted my shoulder with a smile, and his expression hesitated for a long time before he said: "The old man knows that you are good at training talents and planning things, and the military academy now has eyebrows, so the old man has to let you take on some more practice." Uncle Li sat on the couch, straightened his beard, and pursed his lips. The outline of the construction of the military academy has been handed over to Uncle Li for a month, and it is said that the site of the school has also been decided, I wonder what Uncle Li wants me to do this time?
I looked at this old guy with a blank eye, I don't know what he wants to do, training talents, this is originally my vocation as an excellent teacher, but Uncle Li is so hesitant, does he want me to learn from General Sun Wu, and train him to train a group of women who are for the country and the people, and dance guns and sticks to make equality when they see people coming? ――
"Let me go to the military academy?" After blinking his eyes for a long time and plucking out his ears, Uncle Li nodded silently to indicate that I heard me correctly. "But my little nephew has never been a soldier." I wondered, Uncle Li had a demon attack?
"Fart, little offspring, could it be that you forgot your martial arts position but the lieutenant general of the Right Yulin Army, you dare to say that you have never been a soldier, believe it or not, the old man will unload your kid now!" Uncle Cheng didn't know when to run in front of me, his fingers as thick as carrots dangled in front of my nose, and his hideous bearded old face swayed in front of me.
Uncle Li smiled and bared his front teeth: "Cheng Qing, don't worry, look at you, I scared the sweat of the virtuous son-in-law." ”
That's right, I'm really in a cold sweat, two nuclear-bomb-level characters are playing treasure in front of them, one is singing with a white face, and the other is red-faced, who is not afraid of it. Just when I didn't know what to do, Uncle Li Jing said slowly: "The old man has heard Brother Zhixuan say many times, and his son Zhichong Du Lieutenant Duan Yunsong left behind the military law training soldiers, and the soldiers of his government have all become fierce soldiers. ”
"What?!" I almost forgot that I did leave a copy of the military training code that was copied from the reserve of later generations and gave it to the bald general after some modifications, but I didn't expect him to honestly train the sergeants and soldiers according to that thing, which is amazing.
"Don't think the old man doesn't know what you're thinking...... Want to be lazy and want fame? No way! Uncle Li swooped behind my ass and said what was on my mind,...... A bunch of old annihilators, they actually saw it?
