Chapter 832 Resignation(1/2)
"Everything is according to His Majesty's will!"
Li Xuan didn't know that in just a moment, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others had already thought so much.
Anyway, his real purpose of developing artillery was mainly to install it on fleets to occupy large overseas states.
"In this case, I will set up another artillery battalion in the Thunder Army!" Li Shimin said slowly.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also quickly followed suit.
Then, he continued to stare at the artillery for a long time.
However, there was no bomb, which made Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others very disappointed.
With such a powerful firearm, they would not get tired of it even if they stood on the top of the mountain for a month.
After waiting for a while, Li Xuan really didn't want to waste time at the top of the mountain. After repeated urging, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others reluctantly went down the mountain.
However, before going down the mountain, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others still warned Le Tai and others.
"In the next few days, no matter what, Craftsman Mohou is going to make ten bombs for me!"
"Jiang Mohou, ten are not enough. With so many people waiting for me, you have to make at least a hundred!"
"Exactly, you'd better make ten more of this kind of artillery!"
"Jiang Mohou..."
"this……"
On the band stage, surrounded by Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie, his head swelled as he listened to it, and he looked at Li Xuan with a begging look on his face.
Even if he was in charge of the forge and was a Marquis, he would not dare to manufacture such powerful artillery and bombs privately.
Regarding Le Tai's request for help, Li Xuan thought for a while and then suggested: "Your Majesty, this artillery is not the final product. Le Tai and others still need to improve it, so there is no need to waste time making it. As for the bomb, it is simpler.
It also consumes less materials, so I can make more for you.
If you want to set off artillery, you can come to Lijiazhuang at any time. When this artillery can no longer be used, or it is directly blown up by a bomb in the steel pipe, then this artillery will be melted down and reused to make improved artillery!"
"good!"
Although there was still some longing in his heart, Li Shimin still nodded and said.
This type of artillery is very powerful, but it should be controlled more.
With only one artillery piece in Lijiazhuang, Li Shimin would feel more at ease.
Li Shimin had already agreed, while Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others on the side could only nod reluctantly.
At this time, a few people left.
In Lijiazhuang, Le Tai, Li Yuanjia and others, after successfully manufacturing a piece of artillery, worked even harder and spent the whole day in the forging shop, studying to improve the artillery again.
…
Following Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others, they returned to Chang'an City from Lijiazhuang.
All the nobles in Chang'an City couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere in Chang'an City was a bit strange.
However, they couldn't find out what was strange about it.
However, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Du Ruhui gathered in Liangyi Hall all day long, fighting endlessly for the positions of Weinan County Chief Registrar and County Lieutenant Deputy.
At the same time, the Thunder Army in charge of Li Ji also began to mobilize secretly to build a camp on a mountain twenty miles away on the west side of Weinan.
Two days later.
Everything has been decided.
"So, none of you have already reserved the county magistrate, chief registrar, county lieutenant, recorder, and assistant historian?"
In Li Xuan's courtyard, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance, Fang Yizhi, Du Gou, Chang Sun Chong and Yuchi Baolin all came to ask for their resignation from Li Xuan.
"My master is wise!"
Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others nodded quickly.
"Fortunately, there are still some official positions in Weinan County, otherwise they wouldn't be enough for you to divide!"
Li Xuan smiled lightly. He was just looking at Fang Yi Zhi, Du Gou, Chang Sun Chong, and Yu Chi Baolin. Each of them had an official position reserved, so Li Xuan could guess what was going on.
Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and others all had sneers on their faces.
Li Xuan glared and said again.
"There are more than 20,000 households and 70,000 people in Weinan County, and they are all handed over to you. When you go to Weinan County, no matter what you do, you must be careful and think twice before you act!"
"Please rest assured, Master, we will definitely benefit the people of Weinan County and help them make money!"
Li Chengqian quickly assured.
Wang Xuance, Chang Sun Chong and others also nodded solemnly.
"This time, I suggest that you go abroad and become a county magistrate. I don't know whether it will be beneficial or harmful to you!"
After taking a look at Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong, who had firm faces on their faces, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"I am very pleased that you are so determined and active in benefiting the people. However, managing a county with 20,000 households is not as simple as you imagine.
The most practical question is how you can make those 20,000 households trust you, and how you can deal with the intricate relationship between the wealthy businessmen of Weinan County and the people.
I am not too worried about Xuance and Yi Zhi. Even if they are upset about being an official, they will lead their respective families to beat up those disobedient aristocratic families, wealthy businessmen and clans, causing trouble.
Go to Tai Chi Palace.
For the sake of their Aye status or their own merits, His Majesty would at most remove them from their official positions, or ask them to pay some money to those aristocratic families and clans, but they are still the direct descendants of the Duke's Palace.
The eldest son and heir to the throne.
But, Gao Ming, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty. You should have experienced the tolerance of the Tang Dynasty officials towards the prince in the East Palace. If you make any mistake, several censors will impeach you.
And if you serve as the magistrate of Weinan County, any mistake you make will directly affect the livelihood of thousands of people.
In addition, you are still the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, so your mistakes will be magnified dozens of times by those censors!
Although you are going to Weinan, if you are lucky, no one may discover your true identity for a year or so.
But you are the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and there will always be a time when your identity cannot be concealed!
If you make a mistake during your tenure as Weinan County Magistrate, you will always be remembered by the censors..."
After listening to Li Xuan's words, Li Chengqian, who was still a little indifferent at first, couldn't help but gradually sat up straight, with a solemn face.
Wang Xuance, Chang Sun Chong and others also looked at Li Xuan quietly, thinking with a solemn face.
After thinking for a long time, Li Chengqian's expression gradually became firm.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry. If we can't manage even a small Weinan County well, Gao Ming will not be able to serve as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the high hopes of my father to govern the entire country of the Tang Dynasty!"
Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile and nodded with satisfaction.
"You don't need to be nervous. You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty. It is your first time to govern a county. There will always be mistakes.
However, if you want to be an official, you must have a thick skin and a dark heart.
As long as the mistake you make is not an unforgivable mistake, your position as prince will not be shaken.
In the past, when you were in the East Palace, His Majesty would supervise you from time to time. But when you go to Weinan, the whole Weinan will respect you!
Therefore, I just hope that you will think twice before doing anything and don’t let yourself regret it!”
"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for your teaching!"
Li Chengqian could also tell that Li Xuan was speaking of good words and nodded gratefully.
As for Li Xuan teaching him to be thick-skinned and dark-hearted?
This kind of thing can only be learned secretly!
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then turned his head and looked at Changsun Chong, Fang Yizhi and others beside him again.
"You bastards, please remember this to me. In the past, you were free to act recklessly in Chang'an. But when you go to Weinan, you are now your wise subordinates. You are the parents and officials of the 20,000 households in Weinan County. What do you say?
Every move will affect their livelihood.
Therefore, if I let the king know that you dare to act recklessly in Weinan County and still think that you are the little overlord in Chang'an City, a group of dandy children, I will personally take the guards of the house and hang you all in Weinan County.
Doorway!"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong, Fang Yizhi and others couldn't help but tremble and quickly bowed their hands.
"Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely not cause trouble when I go to Weinan!"
"That's good!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly again, believing what these little bastards said.
As the most heroic King of Jin, he is also the master of these little bastards. No matter where these little bastards go, as long as they dare to be arrogant and oppress the people, he can suppress them!
Then, they started to chase people away.
To be continued...
