Some people's eyes are red with jealousy.

That's the collection of books in Xiuwenguan. This kid is too smart! If it were them, it would be worth it to exchange for the Duke. If the Duke is gone, he can make another contribution, but the collection of books is more than 200,000 volumes requires how many generations of people to accumulate?

Some people are jealous, some are worried.

Yin Yuan and Du Fuwei, who were closely related to Yin Qingfeng, and those who were bound to Yin Qingfeng who were desperately trying to get benefits from Yin Qingfeng were all thinking whether Yin Qingfeng made such a request, whether it was a blessing or a disaster.

Except for the Analects of Confucius, which I usually see, any book will be regarded as a treasure by various families. Yin Qingfeng had 200,000 volumes as soon as he opened his mouth. Why did the prince agree happily? Is this the prince's point of Yin Qingfeng?

Dai Guogong said that the academy and the staff are the powerful weapons of the country, but collecting books means the authority of the royal family! Why did the prince easily promise? Even if Yin Qingfeng was the prince's son, he was also a relative rather than a royal family member.

When the prince did this, was he favoring Yin Qingfeng or setting up a plan to murder him?

If someone opens his mouth and asks him for a book, he will give it to him. After giving it, he will find a reason to search the house. But Li Shimin couldn't figure out what the books were for Yin Qingfeng. Yin Qingfeng's knowledge came from the teaching of immortals. With the teaching of immortals, would he still need to read any more books?

Maybe he just didn't want to be promoted, so he had to use the book collection to make excuses.

Seeing that the reward was resolved, Yin Qingfeng shook Li Jing after thanking him.

Li Jing put down his concerns and stepped forward and said half a step: "This castle cannot be idle after being displayed to His Highness and colleagues. Therefore, after discussing with others, I decided to use it as the ordnance research and development supervisor of the Equipment Department's subordinates.

When developing ordnance, I learned that this is to develop better smelting and forging, stronger crossbows, stronger armor, etc.

In the Record of the Career, King Zhou established "Sikong" and "managed the city walls, built the capital, established the country and the country temple, built palaces, cars, sermons, and supervised all the craftsmen." During the Warring States Period, weapons were mainly made by workshops affiliated to the treasury of various countries. The creator, the main creator, and the supervisor were managed at three levels. The inscriptions were often given on weapons to assess the quality of weapons.

The Shaofu, which was in charge of the palace affairs, was in charge of weapons production. The Shaofu in the Han Dynasty had a "Kaogong Order" and was mainly used as weapons. In the fourth year of Yuanshou of Emperor Wu of Han, the official camp of salt and iron was implemented, and 49 iron officials were established in the world to smel and cast weapons and agricultural tools.

In the fourth year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the military weapon supervisor was established, and the first to set up an independent weapons manufacturing management agency at the central level was established. The Sui Dynasty still established Shaofu supervisor, which led the Shangfang, and was in charge of weapons manufacturing. It was under the jurisdiction of the Armored Armor and Bow and Crossbow Office. However, the Tang Dynasty inherited the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Army weapon supervisor, led the Armored Armor and Crossbow Office in the first year of Wude."

After giving everyone a history lesson, Li Jing continued: "In history, only focusing on the production and quality of weapons, protective gear, and ordnance, while neglecting R&D.

Which of the commanders of Ma Jun of the Wei Dynasty, the wooden ox, flowing horse and Zhuge crossbow of Zhuge Wuhou of Shu Kingdom, was developed under the auspices of the court?

Taking the weapons in the current army as an example, it takes at least three years to make a horse or a staircase. Using and discarded wood can also make ten strong bows. So, can it be improved? How to change it? What effect can be achieved after improvement?

There is also the castle now, what kind of siege ordnance can be used to break it? Even if our Tang army is not facing such a strong city, can we create lighter and more powerful ordnance?

I firmly believe in this sentence: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools."

The Tang Dynasty seems to be stable now, but the foreign tribes still remain ambitious for the Tang Dynasty. If they still use the blood of countless soldiers to win battles, how many soldiers' lives will they need to be filled in?

Therefore, I ask Your Highness to gather the craftsmen from all over the world to come to the academy to develop newer and better weapons, protective gear and weapons for the Tang army!"

No matter how people in the world view craftsmen today, those present have what they see and hear today, and they all support Li Jing's ideas.

In the past three years, Li Shimin deeply felt the benefits of "work" in Yin Qingfeng, and of course he supported his current suggestions.

He looked at Yin Qingfeng, "Huaiyang Hou is good at all craftsmen, and Li Jijiu said that he could improve military equipment, but I don't know what the Huaiyang Hou has to say."

As a modern person, Yin Qingfeng doesn't know much about cold weapons, and he can give only limited suggestions. The only thing he can do is the spear.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun appeared as a young silver spear player. Luo Cheng in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was nicknamed "Cold-faced Cold Gun Pretty Luo Cheng". However, the appearance of the gun had to wait until the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and its prototype was still a spear.

The spear is the part of the blade of a large spear, which is three times longer than a spear.

According to the Six Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, the guns in the Tang Dynasty were divided into four types: wooden guns, paint guns, white bar guns and head-shot guns. Both infantry and cavalrymen were one.

In addition to marching and fighting, spears can also be used to support tents when camping, to resist horses when defending, and to make rafts when crossing the river.

Apart from the spear, the Tang sword belongs to the second world famous sword together with the Arab Damascus sword of the same period, and there is no room for improvement in form.

Tang swords are mainly divided into four types, namely Yi sword, Barrier sword, Horizon sword and Mo sword.

The ritual knife is mainly used in ceremonies. Only when the ceremonial war can you use a stagger knife. The larger dagger is a standard equipment for the Tang army's heavy infantry. The horizontal knife is the main equipment for the Tang army's light infantry. The blade is straight and the blade is extremely sharp.

As the main long-range weapons of the Tang army, bows and crossbows had an equipment rate of 100%, and almost everyone had a pair of them.

At that time, the style of military bows in China had long been fixed, and they were all complex reflex bows. The bow power of all bows used by the Tang army was about 75 kilograms now, and it had high requirements for arm strength. Most people could hardly pull such bows.

The peak of the crossbows of the Tang Dynasty was the Divine Arm Bow of the Song Dynasty, which was divided into single-soldier crossbows and the powerful crossbow kings that appeared during the Southern and Northern Dynasties was the Divine Arm Bow of the Song Dynasty, with an effective range of up to 270 meters.

It is easy to change the spear to a long spear, but Yin Qingfeng is powerless to do anything about the knife and crossbow. He had to say: "I don't know much about weapons and weapons, and the only thing I can try is to improve smelting technology."

Li Shimin was a little disappointed at first, but then he felt relieved. Then he became a little excited.

The immortal who taught Yin Qingfeng's knowledge was a student of the Taoist Saint. The Taoist Saint did not advocate killing. At most, people in that era only knew about spears, halberds, swords, crossbows, chariots, etc.

The swords and crossbows of the Tang Dynasty should be much sharper than those at that time, while the swords, spears and halberds have long evolved into spears, and the spears and chariots have long been abandoned.

The immortals can pass on better smelting technology, which means that the Tang army will be equipped with tougher protective gear and sharper swords and spears, which is enough to make up for everything!

Li Shimin said to Li Jing: "In addition to the craftsmen under the Ministry of Works that were originally agreed, they would also select good craftsmen from the military weapon supervisor to send them to the academy. Li Jijiu's first priority is to cooperate with the Marquis of Huaiyang to learn the new smelting technology thoroughly."

Everyone dare not think that Yin Qingfeng is talking big. After all, from cement, new houses, to everything he sees today, he has real attainments in all kinds of crafts that others cannot reach.

But how did he know so much? It was really because of reading a lot of books? It was because of this reason that the prince agreed to copy the collection of Xiuwenguan?

Someone who couldn't help but asked Yin Yuan in a low voice. Yin Yuan told them without changing his expression that although Yin's family in Chen County was good at calligraphy and painting, they had countless books in the palace, and Yin Qingfeng was not good at learning Confucius and Mencius since childhood.

Speaking of this, he showed an expression that you should understand.

Li Jing was completely relaxed, and everything that was originally planned was progressing smoothly.

He said, "It was almost noon. I asked Your Highness and your colleagues to have a meal at the cafeteria of the college."

Although everyone has never heard of the term canteen, they can understand what it is after association.

Li Shimin said: "When Li Jijiu said this, he was a little hungry."

Li Jing led the way next to him, and Li Shimin waved to Yin Qingfeng.

When Yin Qingfeng walked in, Li Shimin asked in a low voice: "You built this city and castle, can it really be impossible to break through?"

Yin Qingfeng also replied softly: "The thing controlled by Uncle Jin'an is fine."

Li Shimin's body stiffened at that time and then returned to normal. Yin Qingfeng's words reminded him of the shocking sound that day and the flying shatters.

"Dig a underground corridor every 100 meters to reach the wall, then put down enough gunpowder and ignite it. Unless the city wall is as thick as a hundred meters, it can collapse."

Li Shimin didn't say anything. He just wanted to go back and ask Li Jinan to strengthen confidentiality and never lose gunpowder.

The college canteen is a typical Tang-style building in appearance, but the size is a bit large.

"There can be a maximum of 15,000 people to eat at the same time. For this reason, the college asked Huaiyang Hou for help for 100 chefs."

Li Jing walked and introduced, "What Your Highness and your colleagues will taste in the daily meals of the students. If there is any deficiency, you should quickly say it. Otherwise, your children will go back to complain to you in the future and they will not admit it."

"Hahaha"

Li Jing is in a very good mood and can easily make a joke.

There are few families among them who only follow the simple civil servant route, but more of them are both civil and military. The prince attaches so much importance to the academy and the general staff, so of course they have to send their children of the right age in.

As for the food, with Yin Qingfeng there, they are not worried that their son will not eat well, but they are afraid that they will eat too well.

Since the servants who were selected to be sent to the Chiwei Building in their respective mansions have returned from school, they have gained weight, their family members have gained weight, and their children have gained weight.

There were five large round tables with ten people per table, each table was filled with ten pottery bowls and a soup pot. There were two steamed buns in the plate in front of the pottery bowl.

"The college will stipulate that students should not have any leftovers for each meal, but your appetite cannot be as big as young people, so I have only prepared six points for you. Moreover, there is no drinking in the college, so I have to work hard for you."

Cheng Yaojin swallowed, "I am not like those sour scholars. I have a big appetite."

Li Jing ignored him and reached out and turned the table, "This table can be rotated, and the students can eat every dish. As for the staple food, they are not limited to the quantity, only the requirement is not left."

Li Shimin waved, "Sit down, I'm so hungry."

Yin Qingfeng wanted to leave, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Li Shimin. Not only did he ask Yin Qingfeng to sit at his table, but he also left Yin Yuan behind.

The dishes are five large pots of stew, five stir-fry dishes, and the soup is meat and bone soup.

After Li Shimin sat down, he held the steamed bun in one hand and ate it in big mouthfuls, while eating it softly.

Li Jing has been busy with the college for a while, and he has long been used to the food in the college. But the others are not as gentle as him, as if they have turned into students studying here. Everyone is happy to eat, regardless of any etiquette.

Li Shimin ate half a steamed bun, but he ate quite a bit of vegetables. He stopped chopsticks and said with some emotion: "I really envy the young people who are studying here in the future. When he led the army for the first time, he went to see what the soldiers ate."

The person who heard him talk couldn't help but recall the scene back then. However, what did the soldiers ate back then still eat?

Li Jing said: "Go back to Your Highness, I have discussed with you all the doctors before. After a while, I will transfer all the chefs from General Cheng to learn skills with the chefs here, and then send them to the army and guards, striving to make all the soldiers eat such delicious food."

Li Shimin nodded, "Duke of Yun, if you count 10,000 people, how much money will you consume every day for a meal like today?"

Yin Yuan said: "When you go back to Your Highness, the college has not yet started classes, and the current ingredients are temporarily provided by Xiaochen's mansion. After the school starts, the plan is to have a pig and a pig for every twenty people or a sheep for every ten people, a chicken or duck for every three people, a fish for every fish for every other. The comprehensive calculation is that every ten thousand people is 280 stakes, and every month is 8400 stakes."

Li Shimin listened and pondered.

Not counting the soldiers in Zhechong Prefecture, the other armies have a total of more than 600,000 troops. Based on 4,000 guan per month, it is 260,000 guan, and about 3.2 million guan a year.

He stood up, "If the soldiers of the army could eat half of such good food, would they be satisfied?"

"Yes!" "Absolutely satisfied!" "They will be crazy happy!" ""

Li Shimin shouted loudly: "I have decided that starting from next month, the cost of food in the army will increase to 4,000 guan per 10,000 people."

"boom"

Everyone stood up, "The prince is wise!" "The prince is wise!" "The prince"

Li Shimin said with satisfaction: "The Tang Dynasty is now in its strong national strength, and I will never forget that there are many soldiers guarding the capital and the border. Only when they eat and drink can the world be more stable."

"The prince is wise!" "The prince is wise!" "The prince"

Li Shimin continued: "The Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty, which is the Tang Dynasty, which is the Tang Dynasty of all people, and the Tang Dynasty of you!

Since the Tang Dynasty implemented the new agricultural affairs and copper coins last year, it was destined to become more and more prosperous in the next few years! The Lords are the humerus of the Tang Dynasty, and the prince of the Tang Dynasty has entrusted it to you! I hope that the Lords and I will govern the Tang Dynasty with the prince to the respect of the Tang Dynasty to the respect of the whole generation and the respect of the nations!”

"Here!!!"

Everyone responded with a loud bang.
