Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Ah? Are you really going to let him parade like this?" Lin San was surprised: "But he is a prince after all, and he is a family member of the Tang Dynasty. Will His Highness affect the reputation of the royal family by doing this?"

"Don't be afraid, just do as I tell you." Li Zhen insisted, but in fact, there was still a word in his heart - because Li Yuanchang would be punished soon.

"Lin San, you handle this matter. I want to enter the palace as soon as possible." In any case, Li Yuanchang is his uncle, and Li Zhen has to tell Li Shimin no matter what.

"Yes."

With no obstructions on the road, Li Zhen hurried all the way, and soon entered the palace.

It was already afternoon, Li Shimin had just had lunch, and he should be correcting the memorial in the study at this moment, so Li Zhen did not go to other places in the palace, but went all the way to the study.

As soon as she came to the study, Li Zhen saw Wang Tingchu guarding the door: "Your Highness, you are here, if the emperor asks you to come, go in quickly, there is no need to report."

"I see." Li Zhen nodded without saying anything. In fact, Li Zhen also knew. With Li Shimin's intelligence means, how could he not know what happened around him?

"Greetings, father, I miss you so much." As soon as she entered the study, she saw Li Shimin looking at her angrily. Li Zhen immediately turned into an invincible cute little boy, hugging Li Shimin's thigh as soon as she came up, acting like a baby.

"You" but Li Shimin is still following him, looking at Li Zhen's cute big eyes, no matter how angry you are in your heart, you won't be able to express it.

"The boy knows that the boy has done something that displeased the emperor, but there is a reason for it." Li Zhen first complained: "It was Li Yuanchang who was so hateful. People besieged the child and said they would beat the child into a cripple. If the child hadn't played hard, what the emperor saw today would be a crippled child."

"But you can't hang him up and parade through the streets." Li Shimin touched Li Zhen's head and sighed: "You still killed so many people, now Zong Zhengfu will also intervene."

"He picked things up first." Li Zhen immediately aggrieved and said, "He just scolded him as a villain, and then he gathered more than 100 people to get rid of him. Fortunately, he has a grenade to protect him, otherwise The boy is really going to become disabled, and now you still talk about the baby, I'm dead, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"Okay, okay, it's the father's mistake. The father shouldn't say such serious words. Don't worry, Zhen'er, the Zongzheng mansion will not take you away." Li Shimin quickly comforted him, and then asked inadvertently: " By the way, Zhen'er, what did you just say? Grenade? Could it be that this is the treasure you used to defeat the Han King's hundred guards?"

"Yeah." Li Zhen rubbed her eyes, knowing in her heart that you would ask this, took out a grenade and handed it to Li Shimin: "This is made by myself, just for self-defense. Once it explodes, it will have a radius of three feet." Humans and animals are not born inside."

Li Shimin shook his hand, almost threw the grenade out, and wiped his cold sweat: "It's so powerful, Zhen'er, how do you use this thing?"

"It's very simple." Li Zhen pointed to the pull ring and said, "Pull off the pull ring, then press this long reed (that's the safety grip), and then throw it out."

"It's so simple?" Li Shimin wanted to pull the ring off subconsciously, but Li Zhen quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, father, are you going to die? This iron ring is an insurance. Once you pull it off, the reed will touch it slightly." It's going to explode."

"So dangerous?" Li Shimin quickly put the grenade on the table, and wiped his cold sweat with guilt: "Zhen'er, can you demonstrate it for the emperor?"

"Yes, but it's not easy to make a grenade. There's no danger. The child can save as much as he can, so what?" Li Zhen made an international gesture.

Li Shimin reluctantly took out a gold ingot and threw it to Li Zhen: "I'm really a little money fan, is this enough?"

Li Zhen weighed it, at least ten taels, nodded hurriedly: "Enough is enough."

"That's good, let's go out and experiment."

"Wait a minute, father, there is no rush about the grenade." Li Zhen suddenly remembered the matter: "I have something important to do when I come to see father this time."

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked.

"Father, come with me." Li Zhen took Li Shimin outside, and saw a blue-gray stone slab on a bullock cart, and another bag, and I don't know what was in it.

"What is this?" Li Shimin really didn't know, Li Zhen came back before the secret agent had time to tell him about it.

"Hey, something that can shorten the earth." Li Zhen asked someone to remove the cement board and lay it flat on the ground: "Father, you can let Lushi test the strength of this board."

"Come here." Under Li Shimin's greeting, a Mo Dao will soon come with a Mo Dao.

"This is the Mo Dao." Li Zhen wanted to touch it, but was stopped by Li Shimin: "No, Zhen'er, every Mo Dao is the second life of the Mo Dao general, so it is not easy for others to use it. I really like it, when you grow up, the emperor will give you a handle."

"Oh, thank you, Father." Li Zhen really didn't know there was such a rule, because Modao is too mysterious, let alone Modao etiquette, and no one has even seen the real thing (because Modao doesn't allow it) The casting drawings were also lost, so no one has seen the prototype of Mo Dao so far).

"Well, it's good to know." Li Shimin touched Li Zhen's head, and then said to the Mo Daojiang: "Chen Shan, go and test the strength of this board."

"Yes." Chen Shan had a paralyzed face, even when talking to Li Shimin, his face was still expressionless.

"Drink!" Chen Shan violently raised the Mo Dao high, the sound shook the sky, and the snow on the pine tree above his head was shaken and fell down one after another.

"Crack! Bang!"

There were two sounds in a row, the first sound was the sound of Mo Dao slashing on the concrete slab, the second sound was the sound of Mo Dao breaking, half of Mo Dao flew high, and then fell vertically until it was buried in the soil. several inches deep.

Chapter 95

Chapter 23 Cement for Privileges

Chen Shan was stunned, holding the half of the Mo Dao in silence, completely ignoring the shattered tiger's mouth.

Li Shimin was also stunned, touched the deep marks on the cement board tremblingly and murmured: "Chen Shan is a famous warrior in the army, with tremendous divine power, this blow has at least 1000 to [-] catties of strength. I'm afraid the stone will be split open, but now it's only cut in less than half, and even the Mo Dao is broken, what is this thing?"

"It's not a lot of something." Li Zhen pointed to the bag of cement: "In fact, this thing is the original form of that board."

"What?" Li Shimin suddenly turned his head, "Sla" tore open the bag, and found that it was only a pile of stone powder: "Zhen'er, you mean that the stone slab is only made of these powders?"

"That's right, father." Li Zhen grabbed a handful of cement and said, "This thing is called cement, and it's a special substance that can condense as long as it meets water. More importantly, the production of this kind of thing is very simple. As long as there are enough kilns, it is not a problem to produce [-] jin a day."

"Building roads." Li Shimin is worthy of being an emperor through the ages, and his IQ is absolutely outstanding. Li Zhen just said a little bit, and he knew the greatest use of cement in this era.

"That's right, it's road construction." Li Zhen smiled and said, "As long as we have enough cement and money, we can build roads worth hundreds of thousands of miles. The speed of driving on such roads is at least that of ordinary roads." More than double."

"At least three times." Li Shimin's words were more exaggerated, but also more to the point: "Especially the carriage, as long as there is such a road, it will not only be faster, but also much more stable. Especially for transporting grain and grass. Generally, grain, grass and luggage can travel in a day." Fifty miles is considered God's blessing. If it is raining, it is not bad to be able to walk ten miles a day. But if you walk this way, you can walk a hundred miles. If you have enough horsepower, 150 miles is not impossible.

There is also marching. It is common for infantry to march ten or twenty miles a day in bad weather. If this is the way, it is not a problem to walk seventy or eighty miles a day.At that time, the speed of the army's rush to aid will be greatly increased, and our Datang's control over the border will become stronger and stronger, and the consumption of money, food and luggage will be lower and lower. "

Li Shimin talked more and more vigorously, and in the end he was completely intoxicated in his fantasy deeds,

"Father is right. The only problem is that this thing is still in the child's hands." Li Zhen really couldn't stand it anymore. There are outsiders here. Father, can you be a little bit promising?

"Ah? Oh, that's right." Li Shimin was immediately woken up by Li Zhen's basin of cold water, waved Chen Shan down, and brought Li Zhen back to the study, ignoring the grenade.

"Good girl, tell me, what exactly do you want to hand over the cement to the emperor?" Li Shimin followed Li Zhen's example, staring at his big "watery" eyes, and said in a "soft voice" Ask Li Zhen for advice - if outsiders see this, their jaws will drop in shock.

"Father, don't worry, since the child took out the cement, he will naturally give it to the father, but well, the rules are there, and let the child think about it, what can the child ask for from the father." Li Zhen put on a show. She rested her chin with her small hand and thought for a while before clapping her hands: "I really can't think of what my child needs."

"Hi!" Li Shimin suddenly lost his spirit when he raised it: "Zhen'er, think about it carefully, why don't Father give you a little more land?"

"Let's forget it, my brother's food city of a thousand households has already caused dissatisfaction among my brothers, and I'm afraid that the friendship between brothers will disappear." Li Zhen waved his hand weakly: "How about it? , father, you can give the child a little privilege."

Li Shimin was surprised and said: "Privilege? As a prince, the majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty, do you have any privileges? Do you want to kill Quanquan?"

"Oh, no." Li Zhen took out a grenade: "I'm currently researching firearms, oh, things like grenades, which require a lot of good steel. But the supervisor in the Shaojian Mansion is really a stubborn one. The next time the boy asked him for good steel, he acted like a dead father and mother. So the boy wanted to ask his father for the privilege of metal smelting. The father was assured that the boy was only using it for himself and would not sell it. He knew the laws of the Tang Dynasty. "

"Metal smelting? You want this?" Li Shimin exclaimed in surprise. It's not that Li Zhen wants too much, but too little.

Li Shimin has already seen the prospect of cement. If it can be mass-produced, it will be absolutely beneficial for Datang to control the frontier. Even with this cement, Datang's territory will expand again.

Because the current territory of the Tang Dynasty is only so large, it is because in terms of the transportation and communication conditions of this era, the Tang Dynasty can only control such a large area.It's like a rebellion broke out in the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion in the Western Regions. With the current traffic conditions, if you use [-] miles to expedite, it will take more than ten days to reach Chang'an. It was already two months later, and such a reaction speed was considered fast.

If the border extends another thousand miles, and you spread the news of the rebellion, it will be half a year after the imperial court's counter-rebellion army arrives—— within half a year, the rebellion has ended. ah?
