Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 739;

Chapter 690 four;
"Brother? Don't sleep, brother?"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was sitting and snoring, rubbed his eyes, stood up while holding the handle of the Taishi chair;

"Huh? Oh! Oh, your majesty is wise, and your servant is also very good."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, this is the court's favorite sleeping minister, who is always short of sleep, but no one dared to laugh at him.

Because the armor worn by the soldiers and horses of the entire imperial court and the weapons used were all supervised by this old man, and he himself is a powerful freak who gathers carpenters, blacksmiths, craftsmen, and all other skills. Following King Qin to rectify all kinds of weapons up to now, he is a subject that Li Shimin values ​​very much. Even the Supreme Emperor attaches great importance to this old man, and it is also this old man who often hides in the secret room with Li Dalang for a whole day, and even eats and drinks are sent by his servants went in.

Of course, every time the two of them talk, His Majesty the Emperor will send a 500-strong imperial army to personally protect Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and by the way, surround the room where the two of them are talking on the third floor and the outer three floors. Shoot and kill anyone!

This is not just a conversation between Li Yu and Li Yu. As long as the minister of the Ministry of Industry whispers to others, this is the iron law. The five hundred forbidden troops have also killed several idiots who don't have eyes. As for the idiots I don't know if I forget the iron law or want to eavesdrop!
Seeing that the old man who hadn't slept well woke up, Li Shimin stood up concerned, his voice was very low, for fear of scaring the vicissitudes of the old man;

"Xia Shangshu didn't sleep well, did I speak too loudly? There are too many things in the Ministry of Industry, and the noisy Aiqing can't sleep well. Why don't Aiqing sleep a little longer?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's almost time to sleep. Your Majesty, if you have something to do, please tell me. Just now, the old minister thought of how to add a layer of more stable protection to the necks, bones and joints of the sons. It doesn't need to increase the amount of weight. Waiting for a way, of course, it’s not enough to only use cowhide, it’s best to use all the crocodile skin that Li Da said, plus fine steel..."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry seemed to have not seen the people in the study, and kept talking to himself. Just as the important officials in the study were about to speak, Li Shimin raised his hand and gently stopped them.

The old man seems to have entered the realm of forgetting things and me, and the only thing left in his mind is work errands. The old man who didn't say a few words grabbed a white paper on Li Shimin's desk, took the brush handed over by Li Shimin, and drew lightly. When he got up, Du Ruhui was grinding ink beside him without saying a word, and a group of ministers quietly surrounded him.

The old man used a combination of modern painting techniques and ancient painting techniques. After half an hour, three pieces of paper appeared in front of everyone. Chapter 1 was a soldier in full armor and holding a Tieshuo. The bow and arrow and quiver, except for the smaller proportions, are almost exactly the same as real people, lifelike, Li Shimin was dumbfounded, this is the first time he has seen this old man's skills!

The second piece of paper is the disassembled various weapons, which are exactly the same as those drawn in Chapter 1.
The third picture shows the latest style. The neck of the helmet has an extra layer of protection, which is very fine, as are the wrists and knees.

The old man who finally finished drawing what he thought in his heart began to mutter to himself again;
"Based on the calculation method of one step for each of the two feet stipulated by His Majesty, the lethality of bows and arrows in all dynasties is between fifty and sixty steps.
And the first-class bow and arrow that Li Da made can shoot and kill bandits within 85 steps, which is already considered extremely powerful, but Li Da said that if you do a good job of researching and upgrading, the range of this bow and arrow can actually kill people within a hundred steps. of life,
Li Da's ability is definitely not nonsense, but why did the old man make it more than ten times without success?
If the hard work is increased to the power of one stone, I am afraid that only a few dozen people can be pulled away by a guard, and it will be a piece of trash if it is made, alas... it is not right, it is still not right, how can we achieve a hundred steps to kill people? What about life?The extra fifteen steps really stumped the old man. It seems that when Li Da comes back, he will have to look for him for three days. Since the ancients said that one hundred steps can penetrate Yang, the old man must be able to do it! "

The old man's words told the kings and ministers present to look at me and look at you, and they all secretly wiped the layer of sweat from their heads. Many colleagues thought in their hearts, this old man is really crazy, the ancients' hundred steps Where is the current hundred steps?That's the current seventy or eighty steps. You can kill people within 85 steps. Isn't it scary to be able to kill people three miles away?Still fucking dissatisfied?Do you need to add another ten steps?This fucking lunatic...

The old man sighed and put the last touch down, but because of distraction, he made the end of the bow and arrow feathers slightly smaller than the current arrow feathers. Looking at the somewhat flawed work, the old man was dazed and spent a long time before wrinkling. frowning at the roof;

"If it is a little more detailed... According to Li Da, the air resistance should indeed be less, but... oh, forget it, wait for Li Da to come back, someone, put away the old man's paintings, the old rules , put it in the last room, and anyone who trespasses will die!"

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry clapped his hands, only to realize that it was the emperor's study, not his yamen of the Ministry of Industry, he simply made a difference, and quickly bent down to salute;
"Your Majesty made amends, the old minister fell asleep."

Li Shimin watched the old man come to his senses before reaching out to help;
"Aiqing get up quickly, it's all about old brothers, don't do this, don't do this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness. I would like to ask Your Majesty, when will Li Da come back? I have five things that are very important. I always rely on fast horses to pass on letters. I can't tell, Your Majesty?"

"Ai Qing, don't worry, she said she will be back in seven or eight days."

"Your Majesty, you have to hurry up. Li Da is not in a hurry. When I asked him for advice, he said that these sharp weapons are too lethal, so many good things and skills are not revealed. Every time I see him You have to pretend like a fool, he won't speed up his pace just because he makes a murderous weapon, so His Majesty has to find another way to urge him."

"Don't worry, Ai Qing, I have my own way to make him unable to stop on the road."

"Oh that's good, thank you Your Majesty for your help."

"That Aiqing, I have always wanted to ask, can this latest armor block the assassination of the thief's weapon? Aiqing, don't get me wrong, I think those boys regard the new armor as their life, and no one is willing to use Tie Shuo to assassinate , so I am always confused..."

When it comes to his profession, the old man exploded with astonishing intimidation;
"If your Majesty is worried, you can go to my Ministry of Industry to check. There are many armors that are actually practiced. They are cut and stabbed with real knives and guns. I can assure you that you can use Tang knives to chop. As long as it is not fatal, wear Erlang in the new armor can survive two strikes!

Today, the only ones equipped with such sharp weapons are the sons of my Tang Dynasty. It is wishful thinking to kill my army son easily with other weapons. If you say something arrogant, you will not be able to take the next move if you stand still. Life is in danger, at most the pain is severe, or a few bones are broken because of the other party's strength,
In the words of Li Da, a soldier armed to the teeth is a meat grinder! "

Hearing that a large group of civil servants here began to wipe their sweat again, the Tang Dao newly issued by the sons and daughters is the favorite of military strategists. Once the knife is cut firmly, everyone can cut it into two pieces!

"I believe it, I believe it, what the general said when he came back, in your Ministry of Industry, it's all real hacks and stabs, Ai Qing has worked hard!"

"Uh, what kind of crocodile skin did Ai Qing say just now? What is it?"

"That's right, brother, haven't you heard of it?"

"Isn't it? What kind of fish skin can be as strong as cowhide?"

"Oh, it's the earth dragon skin we're talking about."

"Earth Dragon?"

"Ah?"

"It turned out to be the pig dragon's skin, which is of course stronger than cowhide."

"Aiqing, I'm a little confused. Didn't your Ministry of Industry send someone to catch the earth dragon? Why does it sound like there is still a lot missing?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this time we are not repairing the armor, but making new ones together from head to toe. The materials needed are a huge amount. Why did I spend the money your Majesty gave you?" So it's gone soon?

It is to mobilize the power of many people, otherwise, with the power of the imperial court, it will not be possible to replace it in another five years. "

"This is actually true, and I've heard a little bit about it."

"Well, many people know that from last year to this year, many people got a lot of money to supplement their families by buying things for the Ministry of Industry."

"Yes, many people know this."

"Actually, Your Majesty, there are still many things that you don't know. For example, there are not many earth dragon skins, but [-] sets of armors have been made simply from earth dragon skins. They are so strong and frightening.

All the equipment was used by Erlang, the forbidden army in the northern and southern yamen, so it is safe to be on top. Your majesty's forbidden army is the most thoughtful and the most powerful soldier in the world today, because if you cut him, he will have nothing to do. If you go down, you will make a big hole in people. "

Li Shimin laughed from ear to ear when he heard this;
"Okay, okay, I have Aiqing Lao, I really have Aiqing Lao."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry looked at Li Shimin's face with a strange expression;
"Does Your Majesty know where this large batch of earth dragon skins come from?"

Li Shimin blurted out without thinking;

"It comes from the big river in the south."

"Your Majesty, it is true, but if more than half of the earth dragons were not obtained here,

It can be said that the armor used by Erlang, the forbidden army of the Northern and Southern Yamen, was all captured by more than 1 people who were sent by Li Da to the old nest in Longxi to go to far away places with maps.
All the earth dragon meat was marinated into jerky, pulled back from a long distance, and stored in a large yard of our Ministry of Industry. Li Da has not let the minister leak the news. He wants to take it out when you have something to do, Your Majesty. It is used as rations for the children. He said that eating more meat will give the children of His Majesty the strength to fight!

Don't worry, Your Majesty, don't look at me like this. Li Da's method is very powerful. It can keep the earth dragon meat for three years, just like the air-dried meat on the grassland.

Those earth dragon skins were used to make the armor of Erlang, the forbidden army in the northern and southern yamen, but unfortunately it was still not enough, and the ministers were only used where they were most needed. Speaking of which, Li Da didn't ask the ministers for a large amount of money, he let it out The more than 1 tribesmen who caught the earth dragon provided their own rations and expenses. They are really loyal to the court and His Majesty Li Dazhen! "

Li Shimin, who often thought that Li Yu only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, was moved;
"Why didn't Aiqing tell me last year? I can send a hundred thousand troops..."

Li Shimin answered casually, but he couldn't continue.

Du Ruhui answered helplessly;
"Your Majesty, the rations of our Ministry of War are only a dozen days left..."

Li Shimin sighed heavily;

"That's right, there are only a dozen days of food now, let alone last year, my army can't mobilize a hundred miles, and I have more than enough heart but not enough power!"

"Your Majesty, Li Dalang's more than 1 clansmen..."

"It is estimated that the expenditure is not small."

"I'm sure, God knows how much food was pulled out before I ran thousands of miles away to work..."

"Yeah yeah!"

Li Shimin didn't rush to praise his eldest son, but asked with a blushing face;
"That... Xia Aiqing? They caught that evil fish and didn't bring back some other fish meat? Since it can be made into meat that is not bad for three years, it must be possible to get other fish meat..."

"Some of your majesties seem to have a lot, but if they are allocated to the soldiers and horses of the world, I am afraid it will be a drop in the bucket."

Li Shimin looked at the eyes of a large group of people, and he looked down on his own greed, but there was no way, the situation was stronger than others, the court now lacked nothing but food, Li Shimin could only continue to ask shamelessly;

"That Aiqing, it's too wasteful to eat meat all at once. I think that I should enjoy meat and grain together. Aiqing, if you use the meat with rations, how long can you last?"

Du Ruhui also stared at his old friend closely, and a large group of civil servants also looked at the old man without blinking.

"Your Majesty, you ask this. This Li Dalang has calculated well. He said that each person is divided into one catty of meat every day. A 20 army can eat it for 26 days, and it is convenient to carry."

"26 days? This is also... well,"

Li Shimin was embarrassed to go on, looking at Fang Xuanling in the think tank, the latter immediately spoke;
"Your Majesty, I think a catty of meat a day, this... that... actually half a catty is fine..."

No matter how thick-skinned Fang Xuanling was, he couldn't continue talking. How could a group of capable ministers not know what the emperor meant?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, half a catty of meat is not a lot!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, when we were in trouble, we paid for one meal a day!"

"It's just that if you are not in charge of the family, you don't know about Chai Migui. Li Dalang's family has too much money to spend. Naturally, he doesn't know the hard work of His Majesty. He is the only one who can provide a catty of meat for his sons every day. Others dare not waste it like this. of!"

"Who says it's not? This is for war, not for sightseeing..."

The words of the last civil servant finally pissed off the more and more angry honest minister;
"Liu Shilang, what kind of shit are you talking about?"
