Chapter 703 Another Conspiracy of Uncle Li
"Sir, don't worry, our siren mill will never be able to eat raw materials. At least we can provide 130,000 kilograms of soft steel and nearly 100,000 kilograms of hard steel every month." The leader of the siren mill jumped up first and made a guarantee. On the side, the supervisors of various departments also spoke enthusiastically, but the expression of the supervisor of the artillery workshop was a little ugly: "Sir, it's a good thing to increase the steel, but without copper, our artillery production still cannot increase."
I can only sigh, who made the copper production of the Tang Dynasty not high. "Let's do this, the production of artillery and ship cannons remains fixed. However, you can increase the manpower and material resources for me, and work harder. I will give you another half a year to make cannons by all of them by steel. You also know that the principle of iron-tied copper embryonic cannon barrels is that iron is hard, and copper is soft. Can you think of a way to convert copper into mild steel, or just cast mild steel directly." I don't know if it's OK, I just give them a suggestion. Whether it can be done is their business. After all, I am just a supervisor, not a specialist in the School of Engineering.
I finally drafted a report to Uncle Li. The monthly output of steel crossbows can reach 5,000 steel crossbows. As for the production capacity of mortars, it can be increased to 150 per month. The cannons are still the same. However, due to the sufficient iron material, the production of grenades has increased by three times.
Uncle Li was also very happy. At least, it only takes two to three months to meet the needs of his favorite generals, and even exceed them, and can change the other troops in a small amount.
"No, haha, okay, this way, I'll save myself. Now that I'm increasing my efforts to develop Liaodong, the grain in Liaodong will be self-sufficient this year. In a few years, Liaodong will become a big granary in my Tang Dynasty. By then, no one can take Liaodong away from my Tang Dynasty." Uncle Li proudly patted the table table I handed over.
"By the way, it's winter now. How about it? Have you ever made your dog cart?" Uncle Li finished his business and started talking nonsense with me. "I have made three prototype cars, but it's not snowing now. It's useless to take out the small land, so I'm still waiting." I replied with a smile. "Well. By the time, I will have to go and see a little bit." Uncle Li stroked his long beard and started to fantasize.
I was squatting with Uncle Li in Qifeng Pavilion and bragging, but I didn't have much time to report that Kong Yingda, Master Kong came to find Uncle Li for something, so I quit first. I ran into this strong old man outside the door of Qifeng Pavilion and quickly bowed to him: "Xiaoguan Fangjun has met the old man."
But the old guy was angry with. He just snorted at me with his nose and bowed his hand, looking for a bad luck in search of others. He hurriedly walked in. I wonder if this old guy was also spoofed by Uncle Li, a bad emperor who loves to joke with ministers. I looked at the old guy's back, grinned, and walked slowly towards the prince's uterus on the other side. I continued to teach the prince students.

After dinner, I sat in front of the iron stove. The old man was reading the newspaper. Green butterfly was teasing the second sister. A group of silly boys jumped around and made a lot of fun. The old man narrowed his eyes and glanced at him for a few times, and continued to read his newspaper. Three other beautiful girls were squatting at the mahjong table with my mother, playing happily.
And I looked through the double glass on the window at the thick clouds outside the house, thinking about when it would snow. Our dog pulled the sled and had to do everything, and it was just the east wind. "Hey, Erlang, I'm asking you something, I'm staring at what I'm doing outside?" The old man rolled the newspaper into a tube shape and poked me.
"I just want to see when it will snow this day. What's the matter with my father calling me?" As soon as I finished saying this, my mother there shouted in surprise: "I'm so huh, all of you touch me, hahaha, hurry up, the family costs twenty yuan, no one can rely on it!"
The old man looked over there, shook his head helplessly, turned his face and glared at me: "The whole family has been ruined by you, your mother and your wife are now smearing that face all day long, hum! Rape..." The old man was very unhappy with the rapid consumption of eggs, honey and other things at home.
"Father, this is the child's fault, but you have also seen it. Is our mother's complexion and skin much better than before?" I pleaded guilty, but we can't erase the achievements. The old man nodded subconsciously, suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly looked straight: "Tell you a serious matter to your father, Mr. Kong Yingda, Mr. Kong is going to give him a break."
"You are talking about the Imperial College Priest Kong? Well, Mr. Kong saw him attending court a few days ago. Didn't he just presided over the autumn test? Why did he think about the break?" I asked in confusion.
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty issued an order the day before yesterday that from next year, that is, the 20th year of Zhenguan, all imperial examinations, whether in the state, county, or the provincial examination, must adopt methods such as name miscellaneous names and transcription. In addition, every candidate who participates in the provincial examination next year must record the local customs and official evaluations on the paper. Any state and county who violates this will be deprived of fame and fortune even if they pass the exam. Another point is that the Ministry of Personnel's local examination has been cancelled and changed to the palace examination. Your Majesty will give the questions and answer the papers on the spot. Your Majesty will review the papers with the three provinces and six ministries!"
After hearing the old man's words, I looked happy. Good thing, this is a good thing.
"Isn't this a good thing? Why did Lord Kong think of a break?" I asked curiously. The old man gave me a blank look: "I'm confused! Who would like to do this offend?" The old man hit the point in one sentence. Yes, although Uncle Li's imperial examination reform was in line with the development of the times, this move did offend a large number of local scholars, especially those nobles in the court, as well as the noble families of aristocratic families. It is impossible to say that this is a heavy blow to these people. It can be imagined that this will definitely cause a series of turmoil in the court, and even a change in the political landscape.
"The tribute prose is too much, and the powerful family members are communicating with each other. The poor family is handsome, and half of them are abandoned! Your Majesty is now unstoppable. Otherwise, if this continues, the imperial examination will only increase the power of the aristocratic families. My Tang Dynasty is probably rare to be virtuous. Moreover, the children of the aristocratic families will become angry at that time. The Tang Dynasty will be worried..." The old man stroked his long and white beard and made a summary.
"Yes, if this continues, the Tang Dynasty will be like the end of the Han Dynasty." I nodded and agreed with the old man. In the late Han Dynasty, the peasant uprising was just an introduction, and the most important thing was the struggle between the aristocratic families. The Yuan brothers were representative figures of the aristocratic families.

Besides, these clans really have the intention of saving the country and helping the people? Fart! Why did these clans start from the Han Dynasty, go through the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, and go through the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and until the Sui and Tang Dynasties? What do they rely on to play with power tricks? No matter whether you are the orthodox ruler of China or an invader of foreign countries, they only have family interests in their eyes and hearts. In their eyes, the change of dynasties has little to do with them. Whoever ruled this land will still be unpainful. They will only be loyal to their families and try every means to allow their families to gain greater benefits from the hands of the country to strengthen themselves and expand their influence. In fact, it is an interest group that lacks national consciousness.
Such a group of forces is extremely lacking in the heroic spirit of dedication and sacrifices oneself to benefit the interests of the whole country and nation. Such forces should be suppressed. Therefore, although the many actions of the palace maid and sister in another time and space are also tainted by the world, she uses her iron fist to suppress the family family. It has to be said that this is also a last resort.
No wonder that old man Kong Yingda had an ugly expression that day. Poor, who made him the current Minister of Education of the Tang Dynasty, and who made him take charge of the world's academic institutions without making any progress, can be imagined that Uncle Li would really squeeze the remaining labor of this shriveled old man.
The old man squinted his eyes: "However, Your Majesty does not allow Mr. Kong to rest, and he will take Kong Yingda's title of Qufu County, and give him some money and silk. He will give him some lenient words. Your Majesty has to do this. It is necessary for Confucius' descendants to do this. If others come to do this, let alone worry about their lives, they will be in danger." Seeing that my expression was a little confused, the old man patiently explained to me: "Confucius is the saint who is the teacher of scholars in the world. Kong Yingda is now more than seventy years old, and he will not be able to work as a preacher at the Imperial College for a few years. The nobles and noble families in the world, even if they have more complaints, can they beat the Kong family down?" The old man smiled very treacherously.
Yes, Confucius has become a saint now, and the highest existence in the minds of literati in the world. Uncle Li asked Confucius' descendant Kong Yingda to do this. No matter how many complaints everyone has, what can they do? Moreover, the implementation of this policy has definitely been enthusiastic support for the poor people in the world. Even if it is a noble family and nobles are so angry that they will go crazy, it is useless. In the backstage of Old Man Kong, Uncle Li, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was squatting beside him, holding a knife and grinding. Who wants to try it?
