Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 148 Wei Zheng Admonishes
Go to court the next day.

Things were indeed developing in the direction Wei Zheng expected, and the unheard-of cement came into everyone's ears for the first time.

On the main hall, formed cement blocks were placed on the ground. Like a reckless man, Cheng Zhijie smashed them with a sledgehammer for a long time before smashing a missing corner of the cement block.

Several ministers who did not believe in evil came forward to test it, and found that a hammer could only leave a trace on the cement block, but could not damage it at all.

A group of ministers couldn't help but started to brag about the cement, and together with Li Shimin, they also boasted a lot.

In the court, the excited Li Shimin immediately awarded Cheng Chuliang the title of Bo of Dong'a County, with a reward of ten thousand gold, ten fields, and twenty slaves, but he did not mention the word Qin Chao at all.

However, Wei Zheng can understand these things. After all, Qin Chao was punished yesterday, and today he is rehabilitated. What is Li Shimin's face?Where is the royal prestige?

Wei Zheng has already adjusted his mentality. Although he is very clear that Qin Chao made things like cement, he still agrees with Li Shimin's way of handling it. Presumably Li Shimin has already done something to Qin Chao in private. Made a promise.

Wei Zheng has been waiting for Li Shimin or a certain minister to mention the construction of the city wall, but until the end of the dynasty, no one has mentioned a single word about the city wall. Wei Zheng will never believe that what someone told him is a lie I played by myself.

Although Wei Zheng was not with them, they had the same position on this issue, so Wei Zheng didn't care whether he was being used as a gunman or not.

"Your Majesty, I have something to beat you up." The court was about to leave, Wei Zhengting stood up one step ahead, bowed with both hands, and placed the wat board in front of his chest.

"What do you want to beat Ai Qing?" Li Shimin was slightly displeased, but still asked with a smile on his face.

When Wei Zheng spoke, there was never any good thing. Every time he was admonishing or impeaching, he was so upright that Li Shimin wanted to kill Wei Zheng, a blind guy, several times.

But on the other hand, Li Shimin is extremely optimistic about Wei Zheng, even though he belongs to the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, he is also dissatisfied with himself.

But Li Shimin is the emperor who aspires to be Mingjun. What is Mingjun most afraid of?Of course, it is the expansion of self-confidence, and he also needs such a spokesperson who dares to speak up and criticize himself, and besides Wei Zheng, Li Shimin can't find another one for this role, at least for now.

"Your Majesty, I think this thing is an important tool for building a country. It can also be used for military and civil affairs. Its strength is even stronger than a rock. These sharp weapons should be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court to prevent technology leakage."

Li Shimin nodded secretly, thinking to himself that Wei Zheng had opened his mind today and didn't say anything too harsh, and this was exactly what he thought.

"Although I don't know how to make this thing and what the output is, I know that both the army and the people will use it, and there will be a lot of needs in the future. But at this time, the treasury is empty, and the court may not be able to undertake large-scale renovations. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to make an order to build one or two workshops first, and produce at a normal speed. When a certain amount has been accumulated, it will be used accordingly. So as not to waste people’s money and cause public resentment. And the cement produced should also be At the same time as the supply, it was transported to Fengzhou, Lingzhou, and Xiazhou to consolidate the city and prevent the Turks from going south again."

'kindness? Li Shimin was shocked in his heart.

Earlier, he sighed that Wei Zheng finally made himself pleasing to the eye once, but in the blink of an eye, how did this guy tell himself how to use cement?
There is nothing wrong with Wei Zheng's words. Lingzhou and Fengzhou are both on the border of the Tang Dynasty. Xiazhou is located to the east of Lingzhou and to the south of Fengzhou. The three cities just form a link, and Xiazhou is even more important to the Tang army. Although the base camp of Xiazhou is not a front-line border city, the number of garrison troops is the same as that of Ling and Feng Prefectures. If there is a war in any of Ling and Feng Prefectures, the Xiazhou garrison can rush to support within two days.

Turks going south, these three cities must pass through, unless they encircle the three states and don't fight them like last time, and at that time, the power of the Tang Dynasty changed, and it was a time when people's hearts were unstable, and the border guards did not dare to leave the city rashly .But that situation is almost impossible.

Didn't you see that when the Turks retreated later, it could almost be described as tragic?
However, it doesn't matter whether Wei Zheng's remarks seem to be the most important at the moment. The important thing is that if Wei Zheng's words are followed, then his idea of ​​building Chang'an City will definitely be shattered.

"This thing has just been developed and needs to be improved. It will be some time before it is actually used. It will not be too late to mention these things in the future." Li Shimin didn't want to talk to Wei Zheng, so he could only perfunctory.

"Minister! Obey the order!" Wei Zheng's complexion did not change, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised in his heart, secretly giving himself a perfect score.

Li Shimin's words are perfunctory, but it doesn't matter to Wei Zheng. Anyway, Wei Zheng's move is to tell Li Shimin that I have already set my sights on you. It is no problem to use it to build a city wall on the border for fortifications. If you dare to use it in other places, then don't blame it. I won't give you face anymore...

After the imperial court was over, Li Shimin let out a fit of anger. Wei Zheng's nose, which was more sensitive than a dog's, actually detected something in advance.

Of course Li Shimin could order Wei Zheng to be killed, but how would that be different from Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty?Li Shimin, who aspired to be a wise king, would never kill someone just because they scolded him.

Of course, this also has a premise, there are only two kinds of people who can be exonerated.

Speakers, ordinary people.

Ministers in the court can also scold, but you have to scold Li Shimin clearly to make Li Shimin realize his mistakes and make repentance, otherwise he will still deal with you.

There is no doubt that Li Shimin's anger could not be suppressed by anyone except Queen Changsun, and no one dared to touch this bad guy.

Finally, under the persuasion of Queen Changsun, Li Shimin calmed down and began to formally consider the issue of building a city wall in Chang'an.

Li Shimin, who regained his sanity, also realized that it was obviously not appropriate to build the city wall at this time. Instead of having the money, it is better to develop the military and the people's livelihood, and talk about building Chang'an after the East Turks are killed.

Anyway, in Li Shimin's mind, the plan to kill the Eastern Turks has also been put on the agenda. There is no doubt that the Tang Dynasty must send troops to attack the Turks in five years at the latest.

In the Cheng Mansion, Qin Chao once again locked himself in the hut. Two carpenters were carving templates according to Qin Chao's instructions, trying again and again, but the results were not ideal.

Qin Chao, the supervisor, also frowned. The best material for movable type printing is lead, but now Qin Chao doesn’t have enough lead for him to experiment, and he can’t afford the price, so he can only use this method to test first. Then use lead gradually.
