After unloading the errand at the old man's place, Li Chengqian also had a sense of ease.

In fact, don't look at the joy in his mouth, but if those families really make a big mess in the Hetao area, he really can't handle it with his current ability. His forces are now all concentrated in the Western Regions and Southern Xinjiang, and it is even more difficult to find someone who can take the lead except for some guys who are engaged in intelligence and assassination.

However, according to his estimate, the affairs of the Western Regions will soon have a result, and more than half of the manpower should be withdrawn within a year, of course, this is a judgment made under the condition that the Western Turks do not jump out and bare their teeth.

A day slipped away from his hands unconsciously, and by the time Li Chengqian returned to the 'Lanruo Temple', it was already dark, and after listening to the night charm report the big and small things collected by this 'seven groups', it was already time to go to bed.

The next day, I got up early, washed and ate painfully, and then went to the court with my head on my head, and finally had some energy after making up for a morning's sleep.

"Your Highness, where are you going today?"

"Where to go? Think about it. ”

is used to walking around the palace, Yang Yuxin can't be idle for a day now, and she is uncomfortable when she doesn't go out of the palace once a day, and Li Chengqian is the same, so after the two of them got together and muttered a little, they made up their minds and went to Tang Shanzhi's Research Office to have a look.

So, an hour later, Li Chengqian appeared at Xiao Tang's research office with a group of his own thugs.

"Gao Ming, you can be regarded as thinking of me, do you want to transfer me away? Tell me quickly, I can't wait. As soon as he appeared, Tang Shanzhi rushed out of the office like a rabbit, like an injured puppy circling around Li Chengqian.

"Good knowledge, that ......" Li Chengqian looked embarrassed, smacked his lips awkwardly and said: "I'm just here to see, I haven't found anyone to take over your class for the time being." ”

At the beginning, Xiao Tang was arranged to be in charge of the research bureau here, but Li Chengqian Niu did not drink water and forced his head to do it, but at that time, he Li promised Xiao Tang that as long as he found a suitable successor, he would definitely be transferred out.

Now that a long time has passed, Li Chengqian don't say the right person, he has even forgotten everything he promised Xiao Tang, if it weren't for Xiao Tang's reminder, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to remember it now.

"Well, I knew, I knew you must have forgotten me!" Looking at Li Chengqian's performance, Xiao Tang sighed boringly, turned around and walked into his office, leaving Li Chengqian and his party in the courtyard.

These gentlemen have been playing together for a long time, and there is no problem of unruliness for a long time, as long as it is not a formal occasion, it is still relatively casual in private.

Li Chengqian also likes this feeling, he doesn't like that kind of atmosphere where he is high up and trembles when he sees him, real respect is good in his heart, even if he is polite on the surface, if he treats you as a fart in his heart, what is the use!

"Shanzhi, don't be like this, you see that I'm not coming to see you, you must know that the Research Agency is the easiest place to produce results, and I don't feel at ease if ordinary people want to do this." Li Chengqian followed Xiao Tang into the office, found a random place to sit down, and crossed Erlang's legs in a very comfortable but no image posture.

That's the good thing about being together, never worrying about someone reminding you to keep your image.

"Results? What can I do with my grades? I went from the fifth grade, and you dropped it to the sixth grade all of a sudden, how many grades can I get before I can go back? Tang Shanzhi rolled his eyes and said weakly as he lay on the table.

"You're now from the fifth grade, not from the sixth grade, but you're just doing the work from the sixth grade." Li Chengqian corrected Xiao Tang's statement, and then asked, "How did you get the steam power I asked you to do last time?" What are the results? ”

"What can be done, should it be a leak or a leak." Tang Shanzhi was still lying on the table, his expression was still boring: "The thing was made according to what you said, but the sealing problem can't be solved at all, it is difficult for the cow tendon to seal that thing, and it is also a big problem about how to connect." ”

"You didn't try anything else?" When it came to business, Li Chengqian sat up straight.

"How else can I try? The soft and hard, the dry and the thin are all used, and they can't be sealed at all, so I want to say that you still don't want to do this broken steam engine, it's useless, not to mention, and it takes effort. Tang Shan saw that Li Chengqian was sitting upright, and it was not good to lie on the table anymore, so he also sat upright, but his expression was still the same.

"You know a, the steam engine has to be done, and it has to be done no matter what, this thing is very useful." Li Chengqian was a little angry at Tang Shanzhi's passivity, and looked at his frowning appearance and couldn't help but say hatefully: "You have to handle this matter for me, otherwise you will stay here for the rest of your life, even if you ask your father for nothing!" ”

"Huh?" Hearing that he was going to stay in the research department for the rest of his life, Xiao Tang's whole person was not good.

"Ah, do you think the steam engine is just a toy? Let me tell you, that thing is very useful, far more important than the artillery that is being worked on now, as long as you can make a finished product, I will go to my father to protect you with a four-grade assassin history, and when the time comes, there will be 358 states in the Tang Dynasty, you can choose wherever you want. Li Chengqian said demagoguingly.

Datang has advanced iron-smelting technology, and now there is a 10,000-jin hydraulic press, which already has primary industrial capacity, and the research of steam engines can also be put on the agenda.

The only drawback is that the sealing device is not easy to solve, the cow tendon is good, but many places of the steam engine are through high-temperature gas, and if the problem of the beef tendon softening in heat is not solved, it will not be able to block these leaks, which is why Xiao Tang thinks that this thing can't be made at all.

Tang Shanzhi didn't expect that Li Chengqian would put the importance of the steam engine so high that he would even promise him the official position of a four-grade assassin, so after hearing this arrangement, the whole person couldn't help but be stunned, and the whole person's spirit was also raised: "Gao Ming, you don't joke, you won't lie to me, right?" ”

"What am I lying to you for? This time, I mean what I say, as long as the things you make are easy to use, the four-grade assassin is yours, and no one can snatch it away. Li Chengqian nodded solemnly.

As long as he has a steam engine that can be used, he believes that he is fully capable of using this thing to exchange this thing for a four-grade assassin envoy from the old man, so his current commitment to Tang Shanzhi is not a sale of officials at all, at most it can only be regarded as a blank check.
