Datang Longya

Chapter 943 Progress
Li Shimin is so shrewd, with just one sentence, he already understood what Leng Feng meant.

Shooting an arrow again, Li Shimin said: "Since it is for yourself, it is not worth using the treasury. I think your family can support the Turks and the Western Regions."

Leng Feng gave Li Shimin a blank look: "You are really an iron rooster, no, no matter what I say, I am also a dignified prince. If the treasury doesn't pay, I just hold back, isn't it just that I was assassinated!"

After finishing speaking, Leng Feng shot an arrow, which hit the scarecrow's head and blew up the scarecrow's upper body.

On the other side, Leng Jing listened for a long time but couldn't understand what his father and the emperor were talking about.Brother Li Ke happened to be next to him, so he asked directly.

Putting down his bow, Li Ke patiently explained: "Brother, what Master and Father want to do is to support the Turks in the Western Regions, break the balance between them and the big cannibals, and resume the war. Although the Turks and the Western Regions are brave, their The opponents don't lack courage either. The only thing that can help them increase their strength in a short period of time is Bingjia. Gunpowder weapons cannot be borrowed out, so our Tang Dynasty's sharp and sturdy Bingjia can also change their strength comparison for a short time. Datang just provides some supplies, and it can provoke the flames of war in the west, which is killing people with a knife."

Leng Jing suddenly realized, and suddenly felt that he had learned something.After three years of experience, he has only mastered some military common sense, and he doesn't know much about scheming.

The dialogue between his father and the emperor gave him a lot of inspiration. It turned out that the only way to achieve the goal is to fight hard.

After shooting Jinglei arrows for a while, Li Shimin suddenly felt bored, found a few Jinglei and threw them.Although his strength had dropped a lot, he was still comparable to ordinary soldiers, and the thunder just exploded on the passing line.

Leng Feng took a Jinglei and looked it over carefully. The current Jinglei is no longer flat or divided like before, but like a lychee, with a raised surface and evenly distributed particles.

Zhang Zhongqing came over and said with a smile, "How is it? Such thunder, the lethality and range of damage are definitely enough!"

Leng Feng nodded. Such a thunderstorm will produce more fragments after it explodes. These tiny fragments not only cause great damage, but also cannot be easily removed after entering the human body. They can be called a sharp weapon for killing people.

Sighing, Zhang Zhongqing said helplessly: "It's a pity that such a thunderstorm is really labor-intensive and time-consuming. We can only dare to make it when there are enough shells in stock. A thunderstorm like this one represents a The hard work of ordinary craftsmen for half a day."

Hearing this, Li Shimin originally picked up another Jinglei, but after seeing the shape of Jinglei clearly, he put it back and replaced it with an ordinary Jinglei.

Put Jinglei back in its place, glanced at his son, Leng Feng gritted his teeth and said to Zhang Zhongqing: "Let's talk about the dowry price, my son has taken a fancy to your daughter, it just so happens that Di Renjie's wedding is not far away, I want them to get married together .”

Zhang Zhongqing smiled immediately: "It's easy to say, we are acquainted, and now we are going to become in-laws, so we won't ask you for more dowry gifts, just your family's fleet in Dengzhou, how about it?"

Leng's family did have a fleet in Dengzhou. The captured shipbuilding wood was exchanged for money. After thinking about it, Leng Feng decided to stay and build a fleet by himself to take charge of shipping goods between Lingnan and Lingnan.

Nodding his head, Leng Feng said calmly: "No problem, but I have to ask, why are you eyeing my fleet when you have nothing to do? Although the profit of sea transportation is good, it is not enough to make you greedy."

Zhang Zhongqing laughed and said, "You're wrong. I don't want a fleet, but fishermen. Most of the members of your fleet are local fishermen, and they are very familiar with the sea and islands. Several craters off the coast of Datang, sulfur Although the output is still the same, the purity has dropped a lot. Therefore, I want the mining team to go further."

"If it's about sulfur, then you don't need to worry about it. I heard that Sogajiro said that there are many volcanoes in the country of Wa, and they are really lacking. At worst, let Zhang Liang take the country down."

Li Shimin on the side heard what the two said, and when encountering such a big event, he couldn't help but come over and intervene.

However, Leng Feng shook his head: "Waguo is a big place, is there still a need to attack it? Our sea ship sails to their shore, do we need to say something a second time?"

Although the Wa Kingdom is an island country, no one dares to admit that when it comes to sea power, the Tang Dynasty ranks first, second and third.

"Having said that, I still want the fleet. Of course, apart from the fleet, you can't be stingy."

Leng Feng smiled and said: "No one can lose you if you lose!"

Seeing that Leng Feng and Zhang Zhongqing had quickly confirmed their in-law relationship, Li Shimin felt helpless for a while.

In the early years, he thought about marrying Li Zhi and Leng Yuewu, but failed.There is no more daughter of his first relative since his son. As for the princess born to his side concubine, he still thinks that he is not qualified to marry Leng Jing.

After pushing and procrastinating, he never expected that he would not be able to marry the Leng family in the end.

After finalizing the marriage, Leng Feng gave his son on the other side a thumbs up.

Seeing his father's success, Leng Jing was so excited that he shot an arrow under the cliff.

boom!
The astonishing sound of the explosion shook even the guardrail on the edge of the cliff.

With the help of Leng Feng and Zhang Zhongqing, Li Shimin was able to stand firm.

As the gunpowder smoke rose, Leng Feng said in shock: "What kind of thunderbolt is this, why is it so powerful?"

Zhang Zhongqing was also taken aback, thought for a moment, and then patted his head: "It seems that Xiao Jing took out the arrows we experimented with under the box. Those lunatics in the Research Department of Jinglei have recently researched another arrow. An explosive that is more powerful than gunpowder, but it is extremely unstable, and it is very dangerous when stored. Such a weapon is not qualified to be formally equipped to the army, but unexpectedly they have made arrows."

He was scared enough, but Li Shimin didn't mean to be angry at all. On the contrary, Long Yan said: "Okay, very good. Being able to produce new materials shows that these people have been able to get rid of the shackles of gunpowder and advance towards a stronger field. This is a good thing , although gunpowder weapons have become the supreme magic weapon of the Tang Dynasty, we cannot be satisfied with the status quo, we must make progress."

After asking the names of those researchers, Li Shimin rewarded each of them with one thousand gold coins.

Although the annual year-end bonus for these people may be thousands of gold coins, the reward from the emperor is much more important.This is an affirmation of their efforts.

The research on gunpowder weapons seems lofty, but only they know how they dance with death every day.

Now that they are affirmed by the emperor, they suddenly feel that it is not so uncomfortable to bury their names and live in Jinglei.
