After Li Xiaogong and the others left, the eldest grandson smiled and said, "Your Majesty is here at the right time." ”

Li Er smiled and said, "Coincidence, coincidence."

What's the matter, my father embarrassed you today? ”

"It's not embarrassing...... "The eldest grandson briefly explained what happened.

"It seems that my father can't be idle." After Li Er heard this, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's up to him." ”

For Li Yuan, Li Er actually has no better way.

After hearing this, the eldest grandson was also a little helpless.

Encountering this hob meat, it is indeed a bit of a feeling that a dog bites a hedgehog and has nowhere to put his mouth.

"Your Majesty, King Zhao has occupied Qingshui River, will Gao Ming's side ......?" the eldest grandson asked.

Whether it's Li Yuan or Li Yuanjing, she doesn't really care too much, all she really cares about is Li Chengqian's safety.

Li Er smiled and said, "Don't worry, that kid is not so easy to deal with." ”

Speaking of Li Chengqian, Li Er smiled heartily.

Should I say it or not, what Li Chengqian did before really made him particularly satisfied.

When he first heard that Li Chengqian had taken Douhe County, he was still worried that this kid would take advantage of the situation to advance with a large army, so he made some preparations for this.

No one knew how happy Li Er was at that moment.

This is called tacit understanding.

Why did he prepare?

Isn't it just that you are worried that Li Chengqian is young and vigorous?

As a result, Li Chengqian behaved more calmly than he imagined.

This calmness is more important than anything else.

As for what he was worried about Li Chengqian.

He probably knows this.

The eldest grandson was obviously not as relaxed as him, and when he heard this, he asked, "Can my Datang take this opportunity to garrison Qingshui River?" ”

He believed that Li Chengqian could solve the current crisis, but if she could, she still hoped to give her son more help.

Li Er shook his head and said, "Why do you think my father came to the clan's banquet today?" ”

"Could it be that the concubine is thinking wrong?" Speaking of this suddenly, the eldest grandson was a little puzzled.

"It's not wrong, it's just not comprehensive." Li Er said, grabbed the eldest grandson's hand, pulled her into his arms, and said, "The reason why my father readily agreed to what you said is actually to seek the same rights for King Zhao.

In other words, he is helping King Zhao give up the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and it can also be said that he needs King Zhao to make a desperate bet and fight against the water.

At this point, both of them actually have their own goals.

You hope to use this to calm the princes who have their hearts.

The father also hoped to completely cut off King Zhao's retreat.

Otherwise, why do you think my father would agree so simply?

It's just that that's what he thinks. ”

Speaking of this, Li Er shook his head and said, "Since King Zhao went to Qingshui River, he is afraid that he will never come back, he really can't come back, well, it is completely different from Gao Ming." ”

After saying that, he added.

After hearing this, the eldest grandson fell into deep thought in Li Er's arms, she still couldn't understand what Li Yuan's purpose was in doing this, and after a long time, she asked, "Father is not worried about what happened to King Zhao?" In the final analysis, King Zhao is not very old, and he is about the same as Gao Ming, but not everyone is Gao Ming. ”

There was a sense of pride in these words.

Clever?

That's my son, can anyone compare to him?

Li Er was also silent for a long time, and finally sighed lightly before he said: "Father is also well-intentioned, you don't understand......"

He didn't explain the specific reason, but it could be seen that he was also deeply helpless about it.

After chatting a few more words, the two had a further in-depth discussion, and after a long period of verbal arguments, the two fell asleep.

The next day, after Li Er woke up, he came to the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible.

I heard that the ordnance of the Ming Dynasty appeared in Goguryeo, and he summoned a person at that time, and this person was none other than Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works.

It doesn't matter where the ordnance of the Ming court appears, it really doesn't matter.

Even if Li Chengqian colluded with Goguryeo, he didn't really care.

What he really cares about is that Datang is lagging behind in this regard!

That's what he cared about.

I think I am a dignified heaven and a state, how can I live behind people for a long time?

"See Your Majesty."

As soon as Li Eryi arrived at the Ministry of Industry, Duan Lun greeted him.

"Is there any result?" Li Er asked with a cold face.

Duan Lun said with some embarrassment: "Back to Your Majesty, not yet." ”

"What do you do to eat!" Li Er immediately reprimanded angrily, "Now the soldiers on the front line are not making progress because of the backwardness of the ordnance, and you are all high-ranking officials, so you can't do it?" ”

He was genuinely angry.

"How many people are there in the Ming Dynasty, and how many craftsmen are there, why do they do it from scratch, it is difficult for me to do it, say, why is this!"

Cold sweat broke out on Duan Lun's forehead, since Li Er specially summoned him and scolded him before, he really didn't dare to be idle during this time, but they worked hard in the Ministry of Industry day and night during this time, but now they still don't have a clue at all, what can he do?

"Weichen is derelict in his duties, and please punish His Majesty." There was no way, Duan Lun had no choice but to bow his head and say.

"Punishment, punishment, punishment!" Li Er suddenly said angrily, "If I punish you, Datang will be able to build his own repeater, I have already done it!" ”

Duan Lun bowed his head and was silent.

Li Er exhaled and said, "Take me to have a look." ”

With that, the two came to a workshop of the Ministry of Works, where dozens of craftsmen were kneeling on the ground to greet the holy driver.

Li Er casually took a repeater from the shelf on the side, held it in his hand and said, "Is this thing really that difficult?"

The Ministry of Engineering has been studying up and down for half a year, right?

Is there no result at all? ”

Faced with Li Eryi's three questions in a row, Duan Lun was embarrassed.

Speaking of which, this is the dereliction of duty of his Ministry of Works.

At this moment, a craftsman kneeling on the ground suddenly said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is not difficult for those who will know this thing, but it will not be ...... for those who are difficult."

"Bold, who gave you the guts to speak in front of Your Majesty!"

Before he finished speaking, he was loudly reprimanded by the head of the Ministry of Works.

A craftsman, why should he be honest in front of His Majesty? Isn't it looking for death!

"Your Majesty, it is the Weichen who has no way, please ...... Your Majesty"

Duan Lun also hurriedly said on the side, but before he finished speaking, Li Er said: "Who said just now that it is not difficult for those who will meet, but those who are difficult will not?"

Stand up and talk back. ”

Hearing Li Er's words, one of the craftsmen kneeling on the ground stood up tremblingly.

The man was about thirty years old, and when he stood up, he was still trembling and did not dare to lift his head.

"Didn't you just make a noise? Why are you scared at this moment? ”

Seeing this person like this, Li Er was a little disappointed.

When this person heard this, he immediately raised his head and said: "The reason why the grass people are telling the truth is that the reason why they are nervous is just the nervousness that any person has when he sees His Majesty for the first time." ”

He's also a smart guy, and the reason why he said that just now was just to get a chance to stand out.

As soon as Li Er heard him say this, he immediately became interested and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Yang Wancai, a grass man."

Yang Wancai?

Li Er nodded and said, "Then tell me, why can't Datang do it?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, we have been studying this thing for some time, in fact, it is not impossible to make it, but the person who made this thing, in order to prevent his own technology from being stolen, deliberately added some mechanisms, which is actually very common in our industry.

They have their own drawings and know all the details, which is naturally simple to do.

However, we have to work backwards into the details of their mechanisms, and it is naturally not as smooth as theirs.

Just as the grass people made in Qinzhou in the early years, holding a bowl of wood, looking like a monk, although the grass people are simple to make, can be done with their eyes closed, but let the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty make it according to the wood people of the grass people, I am afraid it will take some time.

That is, those who are difficult will not, and those who will will not be difficult. ”

Although this Yang Wancai is not famous, if you really want to talk about it, he is also a character.

Although he did not have much success in his career, his son Yang Wulian achieved the position of general as a supervisor step by step, and even ranked Jiuqing in the end.

When Li Er heard him say this, he came to the spirit, and he could accept this reason.

Be reasonable, as long as your reasoning can convince him, there is nothing he can't accept.

"Tell me, how long will it take for a result? I want a specific time. Li Er asked.

Yang Wancai thought for a while and said, "Then it depends on whether Your Majesty wants to be faster or slower, the grass people have two plans." ”

Li Er listened to the music, a little faster, a little slower?

You think I'm idle?

"How soon can it be done." Li Er finally said.

Yang Wancai said: "The results will be available within ten days at the earliest, but this method is not small, at least 100 repeaters need to be disassembled.

So ......"

After he finished speaking, Duan Lun nodded with satisfaction.

This kid, go on the road!

However, Li Er looked at Duan Lun with a puzzled expression and said, "The Ministry of Industry has dozens of repeating crossbows?" What about the others? ”

"Your Majesty, it's no wonder that Weichen has a hundred repeating crossbows in his hands, and he has studied it for more than half a year, and it is also saved and saved, otherwise these hundred repeaters would have been studied by them a long time ago.

But Weichen didn't dare......

Although Weichen knows that sometimes he is stuck on a difficult problem, as long as he disassembles a pair of repeaters, he can always find the answer, but ......

It is precisely because of this, in many cases, the answer that can be found only by disassembling a pair of repeating crossbows is always spent on this by the top and bottom of the Ministry of Engineering. ”

Speaking of this, Duan Lun was depressed.

Many times, it's not that he didn't think of a way, it's really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"Bastard!" When Li Er heard him say this, he roughly guessed that the crossbow that Niu Jinda bought from Li Chengqian was cut off, and he thought that it was all in the hands of the Ministry of Industry.

"You too, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

The more Li Er thought about it, the more angry he became.

If it is really according to what Yang Wancai said, as long as there are enough repeaters, they can solve this problem in a very short time, and he really has the heart to kill.

Duan Lun heard this, but he was silent.

Can you say that?

Can you say that I said it a long time ago.

The point is that this kind of atmosphere is really normal in officialdom.

As soon as Li Er saw Duan Lun's reflection, he immediately understood.

Immediately said to Yang Wancai: "Within ten days, if you can solve this problem, I will have a heavy reward, and as for the crossbow, I will arrange it." ”

After saying that, Li Ertou left without looking back.

He has a fire in his belly at this moment, and he really doesn't have the heart to stay here.

After sending Li Er away, Duan Lun came back and looked at Yang Wancai and said, "Within ten days, can you be sure?" Don't blame the official for not reminding you, if there is really a result, Your Majesty's reward will naturally not be less than you.

But after ten days, there is no result, do you know the crime of bullying? ”

"Shang Shu rest assured, as long as there are enough crossbows, the grass people will definitely be able to solve this problem within ten days." Yang Wancai arched his hand and said.

Duan Lun nodded, looked at Yang Wancai again, and shook his head helplessly.

This guy is too anxious to get it done, although it's not a bad thing to say that it is not a bad thing, but he really doesn't understand the doorways of officialdom at all.

That's it?

still wants to plunge into the officialdom with one mind, after today, I don't know how many people hate him for not dying.

However, no one dared to attack him within ten days, and he was not too worried.

As for Li Er, after returning to the Taiji Palace, he immediately summoned Dai Guan.

When Dai Xuan came, he saw the anger on Li Er's face, and he was also confused.

Who provoked Your Majesty again?

Li Er asked directly: "Who did you allocate to the batch of crossbows that Niu Jinda bought from the Ming Dynasty?" ”

As soon as he heard that this was the case, Dai Xuan immediately called out and said, "Your Majesty, this is not to blame Weichen!"

Speaking of which, it was still the money allocated by the household, but the household department did not even see an arrow.

Your Majesty is asking Weichen now, it's so unreasonable! ”

In fact, he knew the whereabouts of those repeaters.

But what does it have to do with him?

Watching others be unlucky, that's really a rare and interesting thing!

"Who's in that crossbow's hand!" Li Er asked with a cold face.

How smart Dai Xuan is, he shook his head and said, "Anyway, it's not in the hands of the household." ”

"In the hands of the military department?" As soon as Dai Guan's words came out, Li Er guessed it.

Even the crossbow, if it's not in the household department or the Ministry of Industry, then it can only be in the military department.

Immediately, Li Er asked Hou Junji to be summoned again.

"What about the repeater that Niu Jinda bought back from Daming?" Seeing Hou Junji, Li Er asked with a glare.

"Repeater?" Hou Junji was obviously stunned for a moment, but suddenly remembered something again, and said, "Your Majesty, this is no wonder Weichen!" ”

Li Er is going crazy.

Fuck, this can't be blamed, that can't be blamed, is it to blame?

For a while, Li Er was so angry that his two hands were clenched into fists, and he couldn't wait to give Hou Jun two blows.

"I don't ask who to blame, just ask where the repeater is!" Li Er asked with anger in his endurance.

"I'm not in the military department!" Hou Junji said suddenly.

Hearing Hou Junji say this, Li Er was stunned!

Nor does the military department have it?

Fuck, so many crossbows, can't they be gone?

Not in the Ministry of Industry, not in the Ministry of Households, not in the Ministry of War!

It shot itself away?

Thinking of this, Li Er really couldn't bear it anymore, smashed his fist on his dragon chair, and said, "Could it be that those crossbows can still grow wings and fly by themselves?"

Come on, check for me!

I don't believe that those repeaters can be gone! ”

It's really hell......

And Dai Xuan and Hou Junji were also a little stunned when they saw Li Er like this, they hadn't seen Li Er lose such a big temper for a long time.

Something big is coming!

"Your Majesty......" Hou Junji immediately stood up.

(Tonight all-night code words,Last week, I originally wrote the reward and more.,As a result, I worked overtime on the weekend...... I won't work overtime this week, I'll catch up all night, and finally, ask for a monthly pass! ）
