"This time your inner guards have made contributions again."

The inner guards were ambushed in a designated location and finally arrested several masters who were about to assassinate. The reputation of the inner guards spread, especially the constables of the inner guards looked up to them.

In order to reduce the impact, Li De did not tell the assassin's matter. When he met a paranoid person, he insisted on proving that he was the best assassin. He was arrested on the spot and had a bloody attitude to compete with the inner guards.

The result was that it was taken down by a vanguard captain.

At this time, it was no one else, but Su Dingfang when he was young. At this time, Wu Yiqiang took advantage of this opportunity to directly upgrade to three levels and became Li De's guard.

The tragedy is that several assassins ended up like this because they were too persistent. The inner guards have been watching for so long just to catch the current situation today.

It still feels too dangerous for Li De, but is Li De afraid of these sects who are good at art and brave?

Sometimes I really have to say that those who require the issuance of the ban on weapons and the ban on weapons are really just different starting points. For threats, I hope to reduce the trouble.

Although Li De was not that ruthless, he would not let threats accompany him all the time. He made up his mind to control all sects after Wulin Street got on track, and all forces that were threatening must be eliminated.

But this is not a glorious thing at this time. Do you have to argue and compete with the best when you encounter a mental illness? If you do that, wouldn’t it be like a mental illness?

"It just so happened that the quarry funds were recruited and they were directly dispatched during their sentences. If you have the strength to assassinate, I believe that you can be a good player when doing work."

The inner guards immediately solved Li De's danger, and Li De must express his gratitude to this. The most direct way to repay is to pay bonuses to those who contribute their efforts.

The inner guard suffered many assassinations and accumulated experience, so the arrangement this time was very good.

After praise and expression, the door was knocked on while talking to Qin Qiong.

"The Blacksmith's Workshop has a new steam equipment prototype, please go there."

The matters of the Blacksmith Workshop are highly confidential. Li De knew that the Blacksmith Workshop might have been made from new equipment. He just finished talking with Qin Qiong and just went to take a look.

After a while, I arrived at the Blacksmith Workshop, and it was still as lively as the blacksmith Workshop of tens of thousands of people was enough to support the entire Youzhou industrial technology system.

"What's new?" Li De asked after coming over.

Just when a group of technicians gathered together to discuss things, Li De interrupted them only after he spoke.

"Grandmaster, the internal combustion engine has been successful." The person in charge of the project was a senior craftsman named Gao Daquan.

He was leading a special technical team to explain to the craftsmen of several groups doing research and development.

"Come and let me see."

Li De thought it was still a steam project. To be honest, steam technology may still have a lot of room for improvement, but it is likely that due to special restrictions such as materials, the thermal efficiency cannot be improved, so no matter how many steam equipment is studied, it can only bring the industrial level to a level that is neither up nor down.

The internal combustion engine project was studied after the application of steam power. Although internal combustion engines can only be used, gasoline, diesel, etc. are relatively limited, it is undeniable that in theory it is much better than steam engines.

After several years of research, not only technically conducted experiments, but also oil refining technology is improving.

"drive!"

When the craftsman turned on the switch and ignited it directly, he saw that the internal combustion engine fixed to the table suddenly started to move.

The frequency of the cylinder moves very quickly, causing the entire internal combustion engine to tremble.

"Okay, that's great."

Li De was really excited. He had already thought about how pleasant it was to drive a purely handmade "classic car" in Youzhou City.

He even thought about what kind of body shape to design, so he would not let the internal combustion engine be used in an inappropriate tricycle.

With internal combustion engine and bicycle production technology, you can first build a light internal combustion locomotive in one step.

"Can the speed still be faster?"

"Yes, after we tested the maximum speed was twice the steam power."

"The craftsman uses kerosene." He did not forget to remind him.

Li De has already seen that it would be magical if he could research the gasoline engine now. It looks like the large internal combustion engine that needs to be installed on the car, he may have to re-establish a specification.

Seeing the power-filled flywheel speed and the thick smoke generated by combustion are much stronger than the steam engine.

"Okay, from now on, we will vigorously develop internal combustion engines to replace all steam power equipment within three years. If you want to use the current ones, you can use the current ones."

Li De finally reminded that the investment in manufacturing a large internal combustion engine can be huge, and he must spend money to get it.

With internal combustion engine lathes and other equipment, production efficiency can be improved again. We will strive to popularize internal combustion engines within a few years. The next step is to develop into gasoline engines.

The craftsmen were happy when they saw Li De, and they were happy, which means that their investment was successfully obtained.

Without saying a word, Li De directly gave all the assets of Youzhou to the Blacksmith Workshop. The internal combustion engine has been successful and needs to be used.

With internal combustion engines, it is not entirely dependent on horses for transportation, but large steam power still needs to be developed, and large ships in the future still need steam power.

After returning from the Blacksmith Workshop, the heads of various departments of the City Guardian found Li De. They all came for the development of funds, and suddenly allocated all the final money to the Blacksmith Workshop or wanted to ask clearly.

The things made in the Blacksmith's Workshop are all confidential and what is Li De's explanation?

In the next few months, Li De's work was really free because he spent all the money he should spend.

Now I go to and from get off work normally and listen to my subordinates’ reports, the Youzhou forces have entered a construction period.

Li De was very brave, so he was not afraid that the Tang State would send troops to him at this time and that his lack of money would affect the situation of the war.

He was not afraid. All the money reserved by the city guard mansion was invested in the blacksmith's workshop, but the money house had money.

If you really encounter a war, you can borrow money from the money house to respond to the emergency first. In fact, it doesn’t cost too much.

Youzhou has sufficient food and supplies, and can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to fight at any time. This is the confidence.

With the support of money, a large amount of iron ore resources were continuously transported to the workshop. The craftsmen made every effort to produce internal combustion engines. The efforts of tens of thousands of people have made internal combustion engines to build every day, so the speed of internal combustion engines is so fast.

In three months, all the production power of the Blacksmith Workshop was replaced with internal combustion engines, the production efficiency branch line was improved, and all the equipment of the Carpenter Workshop was updated.

Several docks have limited power to use internal combustion engines for production, and the shipbuilding speed has increased again, and Li De will check the progress regularly.
