"The minister will definitely live up to His Royal Highness's high expectations!"

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng in surprise, very puzzled. I secretly wondered in my heart, could it be that Li Jiancheng was consciously cultivating a private army? Giving this batch of materials to himself is definitely better than Yang Wengan.

Chen Ying actually has a certain misunderstanding of Li Jiancheng, as the founding prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng is straightforward, generous, benevolent, and very talented. was scandalized by his younger brother Li Shimin, and he is not a despicable and mediocre prince recorded in the history books.

Li Jiancheng's military achievements are actually no worse than Li Shimin's. Before the crown prince, he was ordered to lead the troops on many occasions, and made great military achievements, which played an important role in the stability of the rear of the Tang Dynasty. exterminate Sizhu Zhu Shanhai, town Puzhou, prepare for Turkic; crusaded against Jihu, exterminated Liu Heimin in Hebei, and pacified Shandong; Tun and annex prefectures, prepare for Turks; Go to Youzhou and prepare for the Turks.

It should be emphasized that Li Jiancheng's defense against the Turks in the north was a necessary condition for Li Shimin's victory in the Central Plains, and laid an important defensive foundation for Li and Tang to unify the Central Plains. In this series of military activities, Li Jiancheng not only won military victories, defended his home and country in foreign wars, but also made good use of Huairou to appease in civil wars, thus winning the love of the people.

In fact, after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Jiancheng died, and the Turkic 200,000 soldiers and horses came to the city of Chang'an, in fact, Li Shimin also paid an unshirkable responsibility, and when Li Jiancheng was alive, he was on guard against the Turks, and the Turks could not cross Nanyin Mountain.

This time in the Turkic Chen Bing Lingzhou, Li Jiancheng always insisted on the main battle, which was the only difference from the original history, he originally had only one Xue Wanche in his hands, and now there is one more Chen Ying.

Li Jiancheng nodded undeniably, looked at Chen Ying and said solemnly: "You also know that our Tang Dynasty is now an eventful time, but the Turks come and go like the wind, and the news that five thousand Turkic cavalry are stationed in Wild Boar Ridge is more than a month ago, and now I don't know if the Turks have further increased their troops, Lingzhou is too close to the Turks, and it is easier for them to increase their troops than us, so I will ask you for orders and give you the right to act cheaply!" ”

Chen Ying was even more surprised at this time, the meaning of the words "act cheaply" in ancient times was not simple, Chen Ying's duty was to be the head of the march, that is to say, except for the military, he had no local administrative power. However, with cheap action, it is different, he can do it within a certain range, and he can execute it without asking for the holy decree, for example, Di Renjie said that killing Xue Qinglin is within the cheap (but killing other people is not within the cheap, this cheap act is set up for Xue Qinglin's oppression)

"How can the minister!"

"Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people!"

The relationship between people is mutual. How do you treat me, what do I do to me, in an instant, Chen Ying's heart warmed. Everyone can say these eight words, but few people really do it.

Li Jiancheng continued: "If you still need anything, say it together, and if this palace can solve it for you, it will be solved for you immediately!" ”

"The minister asks for the transfer of a hundred craftsmen who will be the prisoner!" Chen Yingdao: "Snow boating, the difficulty of building is not complicated, but this thing is very widely used in military and civilian applications, if the Turks get this thing, ice and snow will no longer be an obstacle to the march, and the border line of two or three thousand miles of Datang will become a breakthrough for the Turks anytime and anywhere, so it can be concealed for a while, and the secret of the snow boat must not be leaked." ”

At this time, Chen Ying suddenly understood why Xu Jingzong took the secret of his Gaoqiao saddle and bilateral stirrups, but did not fully implement it in the Tang Army, I am afraid that Li Yuan was worried that this secret would be leaked.

Li Jiancheng said: "This palace can be the master and transfer you to 200 households." If the snow boat is not built by the craftsman, where will it be built? ”

"The minister is not very familiar with Chang'an." Chen Yingdao: "If you don't need it, just put it in the military camp of Xun Erfu, the whole army of Xun Erfu can be trusted!" ”

Li Jiancheng's movements were quite fast, and he discussed with Chen Ying in the morning, but two hours later, in the afternoon, two hundred craftsmen arrived at the military camp of Xun Erfu.

The head of these 200 craftsmen is a general who will be the overseer. The supervisors are divided into the government of the civil engineering craftsmen, the chief left school, the right school, the middle colonel, the Zhen official and other offices, and the hundred workers and other supervisors. The supervisor is a petty official of the ninth grade, which can of course be understood as a supervisor.

Perhaps because of the difference in class, Chen Ying did not have a good impression of the supervisor. However, through the introduction, Chen Ying was in awe of this Jiupin supervisor.

Lin Chuanfu is a bitter child who grew up eating 100 meals, in the early years of the great cause, when Lin Chuanfu was only 14 years old, because he begged for food in front of the Ministry of Industry, he was caught by the government and charged into the craftsman's household. Because of his young age, and because there is no fixed craftsman family to take in, he eats hundreds of meals, and follows the craftsmen of all walks of life to study, and when he becomes an adult, he is already an all-round master who can not be used in the art of pottery tile lacquer painting, especially good at creating generals.

Lin Chuanfu's most brilliant thing is to build a dragon boat for Yang Guang, the rebellion of Yang Xuangan in the ninth year of the great cause, when entering the siege of the eastern capital, Yang Guang's dragon boat was burned by the rebels. In the eleventh year of the great cause, Yang Guang rebuilt the dragon boat, at this time the twenty-five-year-old Lin Chuanfu became the person in charge, Lin Chuanfu led the dragon boat production, this is forty-five feet high (Sui ruler folds now 29.51 centimeters), 200 feet long, the upper floor has the main hall, the inner hall, the east and west courts. There were 120 rooms on the middle second floor, and he completed it in just one year.

It can be seen how strong Lin Chuanfu's ability is. Yang Guangda was overjoyed, and rewarded Lin Chuanfu with a supervisor of the ninth grade. Don't look at Lin Chuanfu's official who is not big, he can be in the general system, but he is out of the way. Because the craftsman family belonged to the lowly nationality in ancient times, no matter how small the Jiupin official is, it is also an official.

It's like an ordinary temporary worker in the future to become a full-time cadre, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Chen Ying took a look at the list, these 200 craftsmen, covering trenches, stone work, large wood work, small wood work, sawing work, bamboo work, tile work, mud work, brick work, kiln work and other 12 types of work involved in construction, but also involved in iron work, boat making, car making and other related industries led by 26 master craftsmen.

Chen Ying was secretly surprised, Li Jiancheng was really good to him. You must know that although there are more than 3,000 craftsmen in the entire general prison, there are only 36 people who have the support level of the master craftsman. In fact, the gold content of each master craftsman is not lower than that of Lin Chuanfu.

Chen Ying roughly talked about the function of the style of the snow climbing plow with Lin Chuanfu and others, and Lin Chuanfu really understood it at one point, and immediately organized craftsmen to start the production.

In order to transport military supplies, Chen Ying naturally could not use a small snow plow, he needed a heavy snow plow, the standard is 22 feet long, and the width of the sled is about 2 feet. It can load more than 4,000 pounds of heavy objects. With such a huge snow climbing plow, as long as it is surrounded by animal skins, there is no problem sleeping on it.

In just one day, the first snow plow was built. Lin Chuanfu asked Chen Ying to be informed.

Chen hurriedly came to watch.
