Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 433 The local country is really too rude
"The Emperor is really unpredictable..."

on the way back.

Su Chen looked at Li Chengqian with a smile on his face and said, "I really didn't expect that he would ask Lord Duan to speed up the production of the steam power device."

“Isn’t this a good thing for us?”

Li Chengqian also had a smile on his face. "If Duan Lun speeds up and makes the steam power device in advance, we can put it on the vehicle and install it on the warship."

"For the same journey, we can save twice or even several times the time."

"Whether it is sending troops or reinforcements, it will be of great help to the next plan."

Su Chen nodded, of course.

As long as the steam power device was made, they could start building steam locomotives.

Compared with the power unit which is the main power source, the difficulty of building a train is much smaller.

At the same time, while laying the railway tracks, the number of working population and employment opportunities will be greatly increased, doubling the development speed of the Tang Dynasty.

"The training of the new army of Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui has come to an end, and the transformation of the warships has also been completed."

"I have already selected suitable personnel and will be heading to Japan in a few days."

Hearing this, Su Chen immediately smiled.

Once the envoys arrive in Japan, the next steps will come naturally.

"Who on earth is this envoy who is so fearless that he would take the initiative to go to Japan?"

"You may not know anyone from the Cui family even if I tell you."

"Choi's?"

Su Chen was a little surprised that Cui's people would take the initiative to take on such a task.

Aren’t you afraid of death?
Or does he want to get back into the eyes of the new emperor, Li Chengqian?

Li Chengqian looked at the palace gate in front of him and said, "I won't see you off."

"it is good."

Su Chen nodded, waved his hand, and walked out of the palace gate.

Compared to Su Chen, who was an outsider, Duan Lun was in a difficult situation.

Who would have thought that at a banquet in the palace tonight, I would actually meet the retired emperor and make such a request?
Everyone in the Ministry of Works, from him, the Shangshu, to the craftsmen in the Manufacturing Bureau, are so busy that they wish they could spare some time to speed up the work.

But even so, the emperor increased the difficulty of the game for them.

What can he do?

Accept your fate.

That night, the Minister of Works stayed at the Manufacturing Bureau.

……

The atmosphere of the New Year is cheerful and happy. Although the weather has been bad in the past two days and snowflakes fall from the sky from time to time, it still cannot stop people's enthusiasm for celebrating the New Year.

Except for the people from the Ministry of Industry.

Wing On Wharf.

Cui Renshi, Cui Junsu, silently looked at the tribesmen in front of them, Cui Wei!

He was a side branch of the Cui family, but after he took on the mission of being sent as an envoy to Japan, his branch gradually moved from a side branch to the main branch of the Cui family.

"Shengren, take care on your journey."

"Uncle, rest assured. I will not die on the way to Japan before arriving."

Compared with Cui Renshi and the other two who looked serious, Cui Wei seemed very calm and seemed eager to try.

It seems that he went to Japan not to seek death, but to go to some fun place.

Cui Renshi sighed and said nothing more. Cui Junsu stepped forward and patted Cui Wei on the shoulder. "Whether this succeeds or not, your branch will move into the main branch, the ancestral temple."

Cui Wei bowed deeply: "Thank you, uncle."

At this time, the guard in charge of Cui Wei's safety came over and said, "Sir, everything is ready. When are we leaving?"

"set off!"

Cui Wei bowed again, "Take care, both of you."

"Take care of yourself."

Cui Renshi and the other man watched Cui Wei get on the boat. As the boat set sail, they all knew that Cui Wei would have no chance of survival this time.

But it was his choice.

Cui Renshi sighed, "The general trend cannot be violated. Now, we can only go with the flow and get on board."

Cui Junsu said calmly: "It is enough to fail once. Although this time, Cui Wei's life was used as the price to enter the court again, it is still not enough."

"Now that the new school has been fully implemented, students from all over the country have also made their mark. It won't be long before the Tang Dynasty is filled with talented people."

"While you and I still have some say, let's try to attract as many talents as possible."

Cui Renshi nodded silently.

The new enlightenment is like a rising sun. Although its light is weak, it is unstoppable. Once it reaches its zenith, it will illuminate all four continents.

From the students from Shannan Road before to the many talented people emerging from all over the country today, these aristocratic families have already felt a deep fear.

It is said that there are no noble sons from poor families, but the current emperor has given them channels for promotion.

leftover……

Naturally, those talented people fought against each other, stepped on each other's shoulders, and crossed the single-plank bridge one by one.

What they, the people from the aristocratic families, can do is to attract as much investment as possible from these students and talents before they become fully established, and to make them closer to each other, rather than alienating and being hostile to them.

"Come on, we should go back to teaching."

……

Prince's residence.

Su Chen was wearing a brocade robe and sitting in the yard, enjoying the rare midday sunshine.

As the New Year passed, the weather gradually warmed up. Although it was still a little cold, it was better than the previous bone-chilling wind.

Sun Qiang hurried in from outside and said with a happy face, "Sir, the uncle of the king has sent someone to deliver a letter."

"Oh?"

Su Chen suddenly became interested.

After careful calculation, Su Bing has been at sea for a month. According to the normal speed, he should have reached Ryukyu and Luzon. However, no one knows their actual destination.

Opening the letter, Su Chen read it carefully.

The letter gave a detailed introduction to some of the situations Su Bin encountered during this voyage.

For example, she encountered storms at sea, or she was treated with courtesy in Japan and almost lost her virginity.

Su Chen wanted to laugh when he saw it.

Su Bin kept saying in his heart that Japanese women were too short. Although they looked good, they wore too heavy makeup, which was unpleasant to look at.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Otherwise, the descendants will be scattered in foreign lands.

Also, they have now arrived in Luzon safely, but the people in Luzon don't seem to like them very much.

This made Su Bin unhappy with the people of Luzon.

But after all, it was business. No matter how unhappy he was, Su Bin only increased the original price by 50% and completed each transaction very quickly.

The success of the transaction did not allow them to take away a large amount of gold and silver smoothly, but instead caused them to run into trouble.

……

South China Sea.

One hundred miles south of Luzon, a fleet of ten large ships was moving rapidly.

Behind these ten large ships are a number of small speedboats. Each ship is of different sizes, but their speed is extremely amazing.

Although it was hung by ten large ships, it was always able to keep up with their pace.

On the boat.

Su Bin put down the telescope and frowned: "The local country is too rude!"

"Uncle, should we get rid of them?"

Su Bin turned his head to look at Wang Chong, the personal guard assigned to him by Li Chengqian, then looked at the dozens of speedboats behind him and smiled.

These speedboats are not very big, and each can carry at most a hundred people.

But they couldn't withstand the large numbers of the other side.

"It seems that Luzon doesn't want us to leave easily."

"Dozens of fast ships, about three to four thousand men in total. In this sea area, it is considered a remarkable force, but it is still a little short of what it can do to us."

“Wang Chong, give orders to have everyone rest for a while, put away the oars, and sail with the wind.”

"Bring out the fire guns, benevolence guns, and so on."

"Let these bastards in Luzon open their eyes!"

"okay!"

Wang Chong grinned.

He was arranged by His Majesty to be by Su Bin's side to protect Su Bin's safety.

Are we really just going to sit back and watch the achievements come to us without doing anything?
Sun Qiang was also sent out from the Eastern Palace. Look at him, now he is the chief guard of the royal palace.

What about him?

"Brothers, the bastards in Luzon don't want us to leave, so let's play with them!"

"My uncle has ordered that all boats should put away their oars and sail with the wind. The muskets should be loaded, the benevolent muskets should be ready, and the bombs should be ready. When they get close, we should give them a warning!"

"Yes!"

Following Wang Chong's order, the elite soldiers began to operate in an orderly manner.

soon.

The speed of the ten large ships slowed down. At the same time, the four cargo ships in the rear were also protected in the center by six warships.

If the enemy wants to seize the gold, silver, jewelry and various goods on the cargo ship, they must first fight their way out of the muskets, otherwise, they will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

The slowdown of Su Bin and others provided momentum to the speedboats.

On a speedboat, a flag bearer was constantly waving flags, ordering the speedboats to approach the ten large ships ahead.

"General, they will definitely not be able to escape this time."

"Of course we can't let them leave so easily."

There was a bit of confidence on Wu Meng's face as he looked at the large ships, as if he saw boxes of gold!
These Tang people are so rude!
They actually sold those cheap goods to the people of Luzon at a price that was 50% higher than that of the Tang Dynasty.

They deserve this!
As the speedboats gradually approached, Wu Meng tilted his head and said, "Pass the order, whoever boards the ship first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Although the warships of the Tang Dynasty were powerful, the people of Luzon had been proficient in building all kinds of ships since ancient times.

Even though they are not as majestic and magnificent as the Tang Dynasty's tower ships, their ships are fast and have great capacity.

Once their speedboats get close, the enemy will have no chance of escaping from the encirclement.

but.

As the flag signals gave orders, as the speedboats approached the building ship, roars rang in their ears.

Da da da.

Single-shot musket, chain musket, benevolence musket...

At this moment, they seemed to have turned into the god of death, using the weapons in their hands to continuously reap the enemies who were standing on the clipper boats with excitement on their faces.

The excitement on their faces turned into fear as their bodies were pierced by bullets.
