Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-One The East Warm Pavilion

It was still the same man, but today there was an elegant young man around me. This man sat upright in front of the hall, his face was sharp, and he said with gritted teeth:

"All fools are all fools."

The man's face sternly and he hurriedly bowed:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Lu has made arrangements for this matter. He will definitely take Zhou Liangdong's life before April!"

The young man stood up, waved his hand quite elegantly, lied to the big fur coat he was wearing, and said ruthlessly:

"Hmph, Lu Sheng, April is too late!"

After saying that, he ignored Lu Sheng who was standing beside him, turned around and left the house.

Lu Shengling was on the spot, grabbed his hands and called Sheng Lian and said:

"Look for a few more people, be sure to take Zhou Liangdong's head before the New Year!"

Sheng Lian bowed and replied:

"I'm afraid it's too late. The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, so it's hard to find people for the Chinese New Year!"

Lu Sheng was also angry. He was like a turtle grandson in front of his nobles before. Now facing Sheng Lian, he regained the feeling of being arrogant for a moment, so he said sternly:

"You can't find anyone, go by yourself, Your Highness is already unhappy! If you can't finish this before the end of the year, you and I will be in trouble!"

Sheng Lian didn't dare to say anything else, so he had to honestly look for the desperate people everywhere.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The East Warm Pavilion of Tai Chi Hall had just left the court, and Li Shimin handed over the artillery matters that Ning Wen mentioned to all civil officials and military generals for consultation.

"Hehe, the boy from the Ning family actually has such thoughts. Old Cheng thinks it's good. Your Majesty, why don't you just do that?"

Mr. Cheng immediately supported Ning Wen, and it was not in vain that Ning Wen had bribed so many good things.

"Your Majesty, the artillery...the company belongs to the palace soldiers, the imperial guards, and the border troops. I am afraid it needs to be carefully considered."

Old man Changsun stood up and quarreled. Even Wei Zheng, who had always been in trouble with Changsun Wuji, frowned slightly. Changsun Wuji has always been generous, why did he resist Ning Wen so much? Wei Zheng planned to find some time to have a good talk with Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to let Shaojian Ning come and tell everyone?"

Wei Zheng bowed and said.

Li Shimin nodded, and Ning Wen stood up from the last chair, bowed to Li Shimin, and then turned around to bow to the ministers. Then he said calmly:

"Your Majesty, everyone, the task of artillery is to eliminate the enemy's vitality. The artillery itself attacks strongly and defends weakly. Once the enemy approaches, there is no hope of survival. Therefore, artillery should exist alone and form oneself. The war is regulated and allocated by the general marching manager to support and annihilate the enemy. At the same time, it must not fight in close combat. When the number of artillery soldiers in our province increases, it can be deployed separately as the main means of attack. Once the favorable terrain is occupied, one man can be at the pass and ten thousand man will be invincible. Simply put, artillery is always behind the vanguard team and before the command post of the army."

Several generals thought for a while and nodded. After all, they often need to be tested in practice, so Ning Wen said so, and he was not sure at all. During military training, the cannon was aimed indirectly. The so-called cannon hit the mountain and crossed the mountain was completely different from the Tianwei cannon at this moment.

"Yining Shaoguan said, is it that our dynasty wants to add another government troops?"

Changsun Wuji held on and refused to let go, and Ning Wen gradually understood the meaning of the old man's words. It seemed that Changsun Wuji thought that Ning Wen wanted to hold military power, so he seemed so anxious.

Having said that, even if Ning Wen intends to seize the military power of the artillery, it will be so unhappy to do with your Changsun Wuji.

“That’s exactly that!”

Changsun Wuji was about to say something, but Li Shimin waved his hand, and everyone calmed down and stared at Li Shimin, not knowing what he was going to say.

"It's not the time to form a single army. Now it's time to prepare. Why not do this? First, train artillery soldiers as Ning Shaojian said. When there are enough artillery numbers in the future, let's discuss this issue of ownership. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Seeing that Li Shimin was arbitrary, everyone couldn't say anything else, so they had to bow to it. Ning Wenban thought it was over, and he never thought that the Ministry of War sent him an emergency report to the front line, so Li Shimin asked everyone to discuss it in the East Warehouse.

"Dingxiang is so cold, why hasn't anyone mentioned it before?"

Li Shimin asked, but Ning Wen didn't know what the Ministry of War had told him urgently, and he didn't care about his business anyway, so he sat on a chair and pretended to be dead, dozing off with his eyes open.

"Oh, if that's true, General Manager Li has met his opponent this time. Why not let the Ministry of Revenue transfer his accompanying suit to reinforce Dingxiang tomorrow?"

Fang Xuanling asked, then looked at Du Ruhui and Yuchi Gong. The military statements did not make up, but they had to seek the opinions of military generals.

"That's not OK. The battle robe is not worth it. You have to have fur coats to keep warm!"

Mr. Cheng waved his hand and his voice was louder than anyone else.

"Why are there furs? Where can I find these furs and furs with more than 100,000 furs and furs?"

Yuchi Gong gave Mr. Cheng a blank look.

"What should I do? I don't know why this year, but it feels much colder than in previous years."

Mr. Cheng had no choice but to ask Li Shimin for help.

"Your Majesty, the official road leading to Dingxiang is no longer usable, and it lasts for thousands of miles. Even if you set off for transportation at this moment, it will take a month to deliver it. I am afraid that most of the soldiers will die. Oh, it is indeed a problem to have poor roads."

Du Ruhui said.

"Far away water cannot quench near thirst. I suggest that the cities around Dingxiang gather winter clothes and east trousers to transport them to Dingxiang. However, we are transporting winter clothes to these cities, so that the soldiers can be killed or injured."

Ning Wen stood up and bowed, not because he felt that he was very capable, but he suddenly thought of this method.

"Well, Ning Wen's plan is very wonderful. Just focus on Dingxiang. All cities with a radius of 300 miles must prepare winter clothes and winter pants so that General Manager Li can overcome the difficulties."

Wei Zheng couldn't speak easily, and just spoke was a decisive statement.

"As for transportation, there are more than 20 standard carriages in Weichen's mansion that can be put into use."

Ning Wen said again that this is the time when Li Shimin has a headache. At this time, he stood up and showed that he was just trying to make Li Shimin feel at ease. No matter how he said he was a loyal minister, it would be better to give some rent, Ning Wen thought.

"It's so good. I know that the carriages in your mansion are so good that as a standard carriage in the Tang Dynasty, I will quickly add more carriages and strive to replace all the carriages in the Tang Dynasty next year. All the expenses required will be funded by the inner government."

As soon as Li Shimin said this, Changsun Wuji changed his face and wanted to say something to Ning Wen, but he could not find a clear goal. In the end, he had to bow and sing praises to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty's wise!"

In the end, Ning Wen did not mention the road construction. Ning Wen had already salvaged a ticket when the whole army replaced the vehicle. If he was talking about road construction, he would probably offend Du, Fang and others, and they would not agree with the businessmen to build the road. Forget it, let Li Chengqian be troubled. Li Chengqian would definitely find a way to solve this matter.

Ning Wen planned to find an opportunity to tell Li Chengqian, and he said, spend money on his own and do an experiment first, build a toll highway first, and see if the situation is making a conclusion.

After a busy day, Ning Wen returned home and met Yu'er Erya and his son. He pulled Sangou and Dayong came to the side of Carpenter Zhao. Ning Wen regretted not building an iron smelting stove at that time. Now that the standard carriage has been updated, there is really no place to find steel.

"Sir, Zhao is fine here. As long as there are leaf springs and bearings, it is fine to build three carriages a day after they are laid out. However, this place is a little smaller and cannot be moved away!"

Carpenter Zhao was a little dissatisfied with the current area of ​​this workshop. He really wanted to replace the standard carriage, with only a few thousand square meters of the warehouse. Ning Wen planned to tell Li Shimin that he would have to get a few pieces of land for us. The wrong thing was to rent it.

"Old Zhao, there is no hurry to do this. In a few days, let's find another place to build a workshop. Let's do it now."

Ning Wen looked at the blower newly developed by Carpenter Zhao. He looked exquisite, but he didn't know how the effect was. Unfortunately, Master Zhou couldn't get up. At this moment, the blast furnace in the weapon supervision was just civil construction. Only Master Zhou understood the blast furnace that had been improved in those places.
