Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1746
Self-confidence is very important.

Lao Tzu said, "He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise." Zhuge Liang also said, "It is not advisable to underestimate yourself when you have a great morale." Only when talented people have self-confidence can they reach a higher level and reach a higher level.

Even if you are doubting yourself, what can you do?

Fang Jun is willing to see the craftsmen being inspired by their own adventures, and has become more confident since then.

Even if I lead these craftsmen to make missiles, it is far more important than cultivating their self-confidence and self-improvement. As long as they have this kind of spirit, they will be able to face difficulties and persevere in the face of praise and criticism. With original heart, you can move forward bravely when facing responsibilities.

Ancient craftsmen never lacked ingenuity, wisdom and exquisite skills, what they lacked was such a confident momentum!

Of course, this is inseparable from the tireless suppression of those "big Confucians" who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality and advocating the rule of Huang Lao for hundreds of thousands of years. The root lies in the recognition and respect of craftsmen by the whole society.

The craftsmen of this era are like the engineers of later generations. A society that does not respect engineers can imagine how sad it will be...

Fang Jun ordered someone to fetch a wooden box to pack the musket and take it with him. Hearing this, several craftsmen asked Fang Jun to wait for a while. One of the craftsmen went to the warehouse to fetch a sandalwood board, and asked some carpenters who made gun stocks to wait. The saw blades and knives made of stainless steel were extremely sharp, and a burst of sawdust was flying. After a short while, a delicate rectangular sandalwood box was made. Liu Xun took another soft cloth, wrapped the gun, and put it in the box. in the box.

He also asked people to take dozens of gunpowder bags of the same weight and the same number of lead bullets and put them in another box, and handed them to Wei Ying behind Fang Jun, and said: "This thing is powerful, try not to do it lightly. , so as not to accidentally injure Robe Ze, let alone let Hou Ye operate it himself, remember to remember."

Wei Ying saw the musket shoot the target through a big hole with his own eyes, so he naturally knew the power of this thing, it is simply a several times smaller version of the artillery, how can it be stopped by the flesh and blood of the human body?

Immediately nodded solemnly in agreement, holding the box containing the musket and gunpowder and lead bullets tightly in his arms, it seemed that even if Fang Jun wanted to go forward to snatch it now, this fellow would not let go...

The research and development of firearms is a long-term work that requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. Even for a long period of time, the pay and the reward are absolutely unequal, but as long as you think about the wonderful prospects, it is worthwhile to pay more.

Fang Jun even felt that if he traveled through time, even if he did nothing, just the achievement of developing artillery and guns would be enough to be proud and live up to this life.

No one knows better than him what kind of catastrophe the birth of the era of hot weapons will bring to the prairie people galloping on horses. The women and children with muskets fell down with one shot, and the shock was definitely at the level of the century.

The birth of hot weapons means that the end of the nomads has arrived ahead of time, and the harm from the border nomads that has confused the Central Plains dynasty for hundreds of thousands of years will completely become dust.

From then on, the way of war will change drastically. From the previous mobility and individual quality, it will gradually start to develop in the direction of logistics and equipment. In the absence of weapons of mass destruction, the population base will become the only constraint factors in the outcome of the war.

Of course, the outcome of a war is not determined by one or two decisive factors, but theoretically speaking, if there are people, food, and guns, they can be invincible...

*****
I told Liu Shi to encourage craftsmen more. For craftsmen who have made outstanding contributions or developed certain technologies, not only should they be generously rewarded, but their status should also be improved. As long as it is within the scope of the Ministry of War, it is not question.

Without the temptation of official salary, who will give you a life?
This is the truth since ancient times.

Because I have been preparing for the trip to the south for several days, all the trivial things have been prepared, and I just wait for his order to go south by boat, so I went back to the Ministry of War for a while, and returned early because there was nothing important to do Fuchu.

When he thought of Princess Gaoyang being pregnant again, his heart jumped for joy, the excitement was wonderful...

There is nothing more satisfying than watching one's own blood being born in this world. Fang Jun felt that the magical feeling of seeing his own life only continue, even if he watched it ten or twenty times Never get bored, that is the magic of the Creator and the original energy of life.

Traveling to this world, you can participate in the subtle changes and rapid take-off of the Tang Dynasty, you can have the opportunity to do what 21 Chinese descendants dream of doing in their dreams, and you can lead an invincible fleet to sweep across the seven seas. When you come, you can travel across the ocean to fight the Arabian caliphate, and even command an army equipped with plate armor and firearms to cross the Congling Mountains to meet the heavy cavalry and cavalry archers of the Eastern Roman Emperor Constans II...

What kind of happy life is that?
If he could really defeat the Eastern Roman army and advance westward 700 years ahead of schedule to complete the feat of Mongolian cavalry raging in Europe, he would naturally be more willing.

I still don't understand how the prosperous Tang Dynasty was just how the army of the Tang Dynasty was given to the Abbasid Dynasty in Hengluosi...

Going home in a happy mood, he hugged Princess Gaoyang by the ear and temples for a long time, and listened for a while lying on his wife's unmoving belly, which made Princess Gaoyang giggle. Come to invite Fang Jun to the East Palace for a banquet.

It is said that His Royal Highness gave Fang Jun a banquet...

This face must be given, the dignified prince will farewell for him, how much face is this?Besides, Fang Jun was in a good mood because he was about to have another child and made great progress in firearms, so he immediately went to the appointment happily.

Princess Gaoyang pays more attention to maintenance now, she will not go to those lively occasions even if she is pregnant...

Fang Jun went out and rode a horse to the East Palace. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw that the crown princess Su had already greeted her. Her dignified and beautiful face was full of gentle smiles, and she said softly, "Why did Erlang come here? Take a seat quickly, Your Highness." I almost sent someone to call you again, just waiting for you to be seated."

Fang Jun hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the princess..."

The Crown Princess Su Shi pursed her lips and smiled, her phoenix eyes sparkled, and she said softly: "Why are you so polite? You are not an outsider in this East Palace. My husband and I are here today thanks to Erlang's help Can I give you a salute to thank you?"

"Wei Chen dare not."

Fang Jun was a little dizzy from the bright smile of the crown princess, and he didn't dare to look at it, so he hurriedly said a few words of greeting, and walked inside quickly.

Inside the hall, the banquet was already full.

When Prince Li Chengqian saw Fang Jun enter, he immediately waved and said, "Come, come, Erlang sit beside Gu, today you are the protagonist."

Fang Jun looked around and found that everyone present was acquaintances, and none of them were outsiders.

Wei Wang Li Tai, Wu Wang Li Ke, Yue Wang Li Zhen, Jiang Wang Li Yun, Princess Sui'an and her son-in-law King Dali, Princess Baling and her son-in-law Chai Lingwu, Princess Pu'an and her son-in-law Shi Renbiao, Princess Fangling, and Princess Changle...

They are all of the same generation of the royal family, and generally have a good relationship, except for the couple of Princess Baling.

But whoever annoys me jumps outside...

Chai Lingwu was scared by Fang Jun's repeated punishment, but today the crown prince personally ordered someone to call him to the East Palace, saying that he would be a lobbyist for him and Fang Jun while giving Fang Jun the opportunity to make peace with him, No matter how reluctant Chai Lingwu was, he dared not not come.

It's just that the jealousy in my heart is really hard to calm down.

They are also consorts, my family background is hundreds of times better than Fang Jun, why is it that only Fang Jun gets promoted, and even His Highness the Crown Prince looks at him differently and favors him?
Fang Jun is indeed capable, but the difference in treatment is too great...

He is not deep in the city, so the resentment in his heart is unavoidable, and when he saw the princess leaving the banquet to greet Fang Jun at the door, he couldn't help but said: "Today, His Royal Highness is the host, and you are doing it for Erlang. You are so shameless." It’s bigger than the sky, we can’t compare, we must not get drunk and never go home, otherwise, wouldn’t it be cold for His Royal Highness’s enthusiasm?”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent, everyone looked at Chai Lingwu, wondering if this person is stupid?
Not to mention that you have been tormented by Fang Jun once or twice to lose face, but today is the crown prince's host. If you talk like this, do you even lose the crown prince's face?

When Chai Lingwu said these words, he wanted to slap himself in the mouth, why is this mouth so cheap, he can't help but say anything...

Unexpectedly, what was even more unexpected was that Fang Jun was uncharacteristically, instead of being angry, he nodded with a smile and said: "Don't be weird, don't you just see me unhappy? It doesn't matter, I'll have a few drinks with you today, anyway. There is no deep hatred, today you and I will rest when we are drunk, and tomorrow we will let go of our suspicions when we wake up, how about it?"

Chai Lingwu's eyes almost popped out!

Did this stick take the wrong medicine today?
Instead of pissing people off, I want to clear up my previous suspicions with him...

Chai Lingwu's first reaction was that something was wrong and he wanted to go home.
