Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Li Shimin looked at the group of cattle and horses from the Ministry of Industry with black lines on his head in the carriage, and kicked Wang De.

Wang De quickly got out of the car: "Your Majesty is here!"

After hearing this, everyone from the Ministry of Industry immediately knelt down and said, "See your Majesty."

I heard Yuchi Baoqi fall heavily to the ground, grinning and shouting: "Oh, damn, do you guys have any sense of justice?"

Li Shimin got off the carriage and asked everyone to get up. Li Lizhi also got off the carriage and ran over after seeing her future husband fall to the ground.

Li Lizhi helped her stand up, "Daughter-in-law? Why are you here? It's all bad. You worked overtime and hallucinated."

He shook his head vigorously as he spoke. Li Lizhi pinched his waist and said, "What are you doing sitting in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry for so many days? Even when people come out of the palace to look for you, they can't find anyone, which makes them worried to death."

Yuchi Baoqi felt a pain in his waist: "Yo yo yo, my aunt, please forgive me. I was wrong, wrong, wrong."

Li Shimin looked at Yuchi Baoqi and asked, "Why have you locked yourself up in the Ministry of Works for the past five days? Also, where are Duan Lun and others? Are they not in court?"

Yuchi Baoqi pointed at Duan Lun, who was trying to hide in the crowd: "Old man, His Majesty is calling you."

Duan Lun could only walk out with his upper body naked and said angrily: "You brat, why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf!"

He arched his hands and said, "See your majesty. I'll reply to your majesty. The Ministry of Industry has entered a temporary wartime state because it needs to develop new machines and rush to produce weapons. Therefore, all employees are fed and housed in the Ministry of Industry to speed up research and development and production."

Li Shimin pointed to his shirtless upper body and said, "Then what's going on?"

Duan Lun looked a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the machine was successfully developed and passed the test. We are happy and excited, that's it."

Looking at Yuchi Baoqi, who had already dressed with the help of Li Lizhi, he said, "Let's go, take me to see that new machine you are talking about."

Everyone in the Ministry of Works, as if they had received an amnesty, quickly got up and walked to the Ministry of Works. Wearing clothes while walking.

Standing next to a stamping machine, Li Shimin stroked his beard and looked at Yuchi Baoqi and said, "What is this? Demonstrate it to me."

When Duan Lun heard this, he immediately asked someone to bring a thin steel plate and placed it in the working slot of the machine. Yuchi Baoqi gave an order, and the craftsmen turned on the thermal generator. The high temperature generated by burning coal drove the water vapor through the steam turbine and then through the motor to drive the crankshaft.

As the craftsman presses the switch and steps on the pedal of the stamping machine, the heavy hammer knocks down small steel pieces one by one and falls to the discharge port.

Yuchi Baoqi picked up a piece of steel and put it on Li Shimin's hand: "Father-in-law, look, there are little eyes on it. Send these pieces of armor to the Weaving Bureau, and the Military Bureau will ask them to thread them with thread. In the past, it was done It takes four people five days to make a suit of armor. Now one person can make two sets a day, and it is no problem if a skilled worker makes three sets a day."

Li Shimin was greatly shocked. He looked at a wheeled machine next to him and asked, "What is this machine used for?"

Duan Lun ordered someone to bring in a box of unopened sabers, and then asked Li Shimin to choose one.

When the machine is turned on, the wheel spins very fast. The craftsman aligns the cutting edge with the wheel, pulls it, and repeats the operation on the other side. The craftsman handed the sharpened saber to Duan Lun, and Duan Lun held the back of the sword and handed the handle to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin holds the saber, which has a streamlined shape suitable for chopping and has a blood groove on the top.

Li Shimin flicked the blade with his hand, Ding!

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Li Shimin's operation and thought, "Does this mean that the knife is good? It must be an ancient skill."

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Shimin suddenly pulled out a hair from Yuchi Baoqi's head. "Hey, what are you doing?"

Li Shimin glanced at him sideways: "I gave you my daughter, why do you want a piece of your hair? I just like your hair."

Yuchi Baoqi said nothing and thought to herself: "When my wife gets married, if you cheat me, I will bully her. Let's see who can outsmart whom."

Li Shimin put his hair on the blade and blew gently.

Seeing that his hair was cut with a knife, Li Shimin laughed and said: "What a knife! It's great to blow hair and cut hair! I have this knife in my collection!"

Yuchi Baoqi took the knife and placed it on another small stamping machine. There was just a sound, and a steel seal was struck on the base of the knife, "Datang No. 1".

Li Shimin was very satisfied. The officials of the Ministry of Industry listened to the decree: "Craftsmen are inseparable from the development of the Tang Dynasty, but everyone in the world determines their rank based on scholars, farmers, and workers. From now on, craftsmen are no longer humble, and are equal to farmers! The salary of all officials of the Ministry of Industry If it is doubled, Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has made great contributions to the country and is granted the title of Guanglu Doctor."

After Li Shimin finished speaking his will, the entire Ministry of Industry was silent.

As Wang De said: "Officials from the Ministry of Industry will receive the order quickly"

Everyone knelt down and said, "I will accept the order! I will live up to your majesty's trust."

Li Shimin motioned for everyone to lie down. Some craftsmen secretly wiped away their tears, and some even cried loudly and hugged each other.

Li Shimin looked at Yuchi Baoqi in confusion, and Yuchi Baoqi slowly said: "Before I came to the Ministry of Industry, the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry were too low. Although I received a salary from the court, I had a lowly status, even if I was humble enough to be in the dust. The craftsmen are developing and creating, and want to contribute to the country. Now that Your Majesty has affirmed them and canceled their status, how can they not be moved?"

Li Shimin said with emotion: "If it weren't for you, I would never have known that craftsmen are so important to our Tang Dynasty. I have found a good son-in-law." Li Lizhi blushed after hearing this.

Walking out of the Ministry of Industry, Su Quan followed from a distance like a little transparent person. Li Lizhi was not happy anymore: "Father, if you reward officials from the Ministry of Industry, what about Bao Qi's share of the credit? Look at him, he has lost weight after only five days for you."

Li Shimin touched Li Lizhi's head and said, "How come my father is missing his share of the credit?" He was the first to succeed, but he rose through the ranks too quickly. If he continues to grant rewards, someone will keep an eye on him. Save it for later and grant him no titles. "

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Yuchi Baoqi said quickly, "No, no, no, good father-in-law. Let's just forget about the reward as a family. When the time comes, if Feng Wufeng cuts me off, what will I do? I'm just working for the country. I'm just doing errands for my father-in-law, I really don't want to be an official. I would be fine as a Prince Consort, as long as I can marry a beautiful woman."

Li Shimin slapped the back of Yuchi Baoqi's head: "Don't want to be an official? Don't want to work? Is it so easy to be my son-in-law? If you become my son-in-law, you will be sold to me. You will have to devote your whole life to the Tang Dynasty. !”

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Li Shimin in horror and did not dare to speak, thinking: "It's terrible. He is an emperor who doesn't learn to govern the country and has become a prostitute!"

Wang De leaned close to Li Shimin and whispered, and Li Shimin asked: "Do you know the guy following him? I've been following him all the way."

Yuchi Baoqi turned around and saw that his cousin was hiding around the corner like a thief and looked over.
