Chapter 23 The new emperor is the third prince Li Ke
The special forces built a place in a mountain behind the palace, and the Ministry of Works built a firearm factory, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the special forces.
After all, with this group of special forces, whether it is making gunpowder or governing, it is much more trustworthy.
As for steel forging, it is already in progress.
In a few days, batches of steel have already come out.
Li Ke ordered that it was used to forge weapons first, after all, a country needed to protect it first.
To protect a country, it requires armed forces.
In this world, warriors and scholars are both good at strength, but in fact, they still have soldiers and generals as the main force.
Most soldiers and generals are only stronger than ordinary people, except for training, they are weapons.
Just imagine, your enemy is holding iron and steel. Which of you two is better weapons?
it goes without saying!
In addition, steel can be used as weapons, but also to create muzzles and combine them with flames to make cannons.
Secondly, it can also be used for construction.
After all, there are enough steel resources in this world.
In a few days, the flame production, steel forging, agricultural development and industrial development that Li Ke attached great importance to were quickly implemented.
As for some other trivial matters, they were left to Wu Zhao for help.
As Wu Zhao, who would have become an empress in his later generations, was very capable in helping Li Ke handle government affairs.
As for Li Ke, he began to think about how to make good salt and sugar.
For a country, the location of salt is very important. After all, it is something that everyone wants to eat.
At this time, salt was in the Tang Dynasty, and it was not something that ordinary people could eat.
Most people just use coarse cloth instead of salt, which tastes sour and refreshing, don’t mention it.
Therefore, Li Ke was preparing to use his own advantages as a time traveler to solve the problem of salt so that the people of Long Kingdom could eat salt and even export salt.
Fortunately, it is east of Long Kingdom, close to the sea.
You can get sea salt there and get salt through clean sea water.
This is a simple and correct method. Let them filter the sea water a few more times and then dry the salt, and basically get good salt.
The second is to look for salt lakes in the country, which is also to dry salt.
There are also salt wells and rock salt. These two types are more troublesome. They need to dissolve the rock salt into brine, filter and boil it into salt.
These technologies are not yet mature.
Even some salt mines have not been excavated, and lake salt is idle.
Therefore, after Li Ke wrote down various manufacturing methods, he asked the Ministry of Revenue's Salt and Iron Department to execute the country immediately.
In addition, sugar is also simple. It is nothing more than extracting sucrose and turning sucrose into white sugar.
In addition, the curved plow has not appeared at this time. Cattle play a huge role in ploughing, but cattle are rarely expensive.
Because often when farming, a cow is not enough.
So Li Ke began to draw the design drawings of the curved plow again.
I was from the countryside when I was a child, and the curved plow was not uncommon. The general design drawings were completed quickly and were made by the Ministry of Industry.
In this way, farmers can save much effort in farming, and even without oxen, both of them can pull the curved shaft and plow the fields.
In addition to these things, Li Ke racked his brains and thought of many things that could help ancient people with the wisdom of modern people.
So, in the eyes of the ministers, this young emperor was really powerful.
Not only can we be both civil and military, but we can also create so many fundamental solutions for the people.
Whether it is gunpowder, steel, or salt and sugar chubby, these can be presented in a long time and are constantly exploring.
But Li Ke has solved everything after so many days.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't shock you!
At the same time.
At the border of the Tang Dynasty, General Wang Zhong, General Qianniu Guard, and the Imperial College Supervisor, have already heard some news.
At this moment, they were in Qingyang City, although they didn't feel anything strange about Qingyang City.
But what happened to the few extra people with strange clothes and iron lumps at the gate of the city?
After asking the people in the city, no people knew about it, and they only said that they were from the yamen.
Therefore, General Wang Zhong, Qianniu Guard, and Jiancheng did not care too much about it.
They will never think about this city no matter what.
They just wanted to inquire about Li Ke, find Li Ke, and kill Li Ke.
But helpless, Li Ke seemed to have evaporated from the world. Even if he reached the border, he could not find any trace of him.
Wang Zhong said to the Imperial College Supervisor:
"Can you? Li Ke has fled from the Tang Dynasty?"
The supervisor was helpless and said, "Maybe, if this is the case, it would be impossible to find it."
"Then we..." Wang Zhong hesitated.
The Imperial College Supervisor said: "Forget it, when I go back to Chang'an, I just say that no one was found!"
"Your Majesty will blame him?" Wang Zhong had a big head.
The supervisor sighed: "How can I do it? What can I do if I can't find it?"
The two were silent and then agreed to go back and report.
A few days later.
After the two returned to Chang'an and met the emperor in Lizheng Hall, General Wang Zhong, Qianniu Guard, said:
"Your Majesty, I have followed the traces of the Third Prince all the way. After several days, I did not find him. Please punish him!"
The Imperial College Supervisor also knelt down!
Li Er looked bad, then sighed and said:
"Forget it, that ignorant, I think he has found a place to hide. It's normal that you can't find it. Humph, this is the end of disobeying me!"
The ministers didn't speak, and the old prince Li Chengqian was there, and he did not have any psychological burden because of such a situation that he had framed Li Ke.
Or, he wanted such an effect himself.
In this way, among the many princes, he can concentrate on dealing with Li Tai.
Li Er did not blame Li Chengqian too much in this matter.
As a veteran, Li Er even understands Li Chengqian's approach.
He was even pleased that Li Chengqian could have such a means.
Perhaps, it would be a good thing to use Li Ke to become Li Chengqian's stepping stone and help and fulfill Li Chengqian.
After all, in the imperial family, how can there be friendship? All they have is the level of means.
Therefore, Li Ke's right or wrong life and death seem to be no longer important than the royal family.
Thinking of this, Li Er became more determined to be the emperor's technique in his heart!
So, he was not going to spend any more time on Li Ke's matter.
But, at this moment.
The Imperial Commander Li Junxian walked into the hall and clasped his fists:
"Your Majesty, the spy who went to Goguryeo to inquire about the news is back!"
"Oh? Let's talk about it, what's going on now is Goguryeo?" Li Er asked.
Li Junxian said with surprise on his face:
"A week ago, a young man led an army of 20,000 from somewhere, and attacked Goguryeo all the way. One day and one night, he captured Goguryeo and captured Goguryeo King alive.
And it made the Goguryeo army surrender, which led to the last new emperor ascending the throne. Today, Goguryeo has been renamed Long Kingdom and its reign was Yong'an. The original royal family has been completely cleaned up."
Li Er took a deep breath: "Young man? This... is unbelievable!"
Li Junxian said: "Your Majesty... What's even more incredible is that the young man, whose name is Li Ke... is the third prince..."
Chapter completed!
