"Conditions? I don't know what the conditions are? Fa Yan asked with some confusion.

"Don't worry, the conditions that this king wants to put forward can only make you interested, and it will definitely not disappoint you!"

Li Yuanba smiled at Fa Yan Lao Dao, waved his hand to summon a palace attendant brought from Chang'an City, and said, "You go to the king's study, there is a box on the bookcase, and there are several pictures in the box. You go get that thing! ”

"No!"

The chamberlain nodded, got up and walked towards Li Yuanba's study.

And the Chang brothers, who were standing on the side, heard Li Yuanba's words, and they all showed a wry smile on their faces.

To be honest, some time ago, when they saw those drawings and a few strange parts that were created, they subconsciously decided that the things on the drawings were impossible to complete, or even pure fantasy.

It's not that there are things that are much more powerful than fire and water, but those are all naturally formed, and if you want to do it by manpower, isn't it whimsical?

After the time when there was no tea, the waiter from before turned back, only with an extra rosewood box in his hand.

After the chamberlain put the wooden box on the table, the old man almost couldn't wait to take a few steps forward and open the lid of the wooden box.

He took out a panorama from the box and looked at the rather strange machine on it, his brow furrowed suddenly, but when he looked at some of the details drawn on the cylinders, pistons, gears, and pressure gauges...... When something seems novel, the eyes start to shine constantly.

"Lord Wang. What's, what is this? Fa Yan said in a trembling voice.

"It's called a steam engine, and those little parts are parts of a steam engine. This thing is driven by coal. If the development is successful, it will surely let Datang enter a new era! Li Yuanba's face rarely became serious.

"Such a subtle thing, poor Dao, poor Dao is really unseen!" Fa Yan Lao Dao's lips trembled a little, "Lord Wang, give Poor Dao a period of time, and Poor Dao will definitely give the prince a satisfactory answer!" ”

"How long is a period of time? I don't have that much time for you to make this? Li Yuanba looked at Fa Yan Lao Dao with a smile. No matter how you say this, it sounds like she is deliberately making things difficult for him.

"Fifteenth! It only takes half a month, and when Poor Dao figures out the principle of this thing, all that's left is to draw a gourd in the same way! "Look at the confident look of the old man. It seems that there is a real heart and confidence to make this thing.

Li Yuanba shook his head and said, "Dao Chief, don't talk big!" You must know that these drawings are all brought out by this king from the Ministry of Works. with the ability of the Ministry of Industry. It took a full three months, but some accessories were built, and everything else was done behind closed doors! ”

Li Yuanba naturally wouldn't say that this thing was the Chef Shenji Mansion, after all, until now, no one knew what kind of institution the Shenji Mansion was.

"Ministry of Industry!" Fa Yan raised his white eyebrows and said, "That's so." Then ask the prince to give Poor Dao a month to make this thing! It's just that the steam engine parts that have been created before, and I ask the prince to hand them over to Poor Dao. It is also necessary to avoid the repetition of the accessories created by the poor road! ”

"Okay, then the king will reopen a new gate on the boundary of the original shipyard, called the 'machine workshop', and send some people from the Ministry of Engineering to accompany you to move in. You are the owner of the workshop and exercise the highest power! What do you think? ”

Li Yuanba had already prepared, anyway, there was already a large empty house around the shipyard, and he only needed to rebuild and tidy it up a little, and he could directly use it.

"Obey the king's orders!"

Fa Yan made a mockery of Li Yuanba, and the excitement on his face still did not drop half a point.

"Hahaha, okay, look at your monkey anxious look!" Li Yuanba stood up, patted Fa Yan Laodao's shoulder, and said, "You go back with these drawings first, and the king of tomorrow will ask people to take those accessories and go to Tiannanguan to find you!" ”

"In this way, the poor road will retire first!" Fa Yan Lao Dao responded in a hurry, and did not say hello to the Chang brothers, turned his head and walked back.

The Chang brothers were stunned, what happened to this old guy?

……

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Li Yuanba has been in Dengzhou for half a month.

Dengzhou's side has slowly entered the right track, whether it is the shipyard side or the search team's side, it has been making rapid progress in recent days.

However, it's strange to say, nothing important has happened in the past half a month, and Tianjiwei can't find a clue about what he investigated in Hanwen County, and the gang of black-clothed people and Fang Mingyan seem to have disappeared out of thin air.

And I heard that Bi Huacheng didn't say anything, it seems that the Tang army broke the Goguryeo water army, and the Goguryeo side doesn't plan to pursue it.

Think about it, too, the military general forces represented by Quangai Suwen and the civilian forces represented by Rongliu Wang have been in a state of tension recently, and Quangai Suwen may launch a coup d'état at any time.

On this day, Li Yuanba had just returned from the port, and Chang Baisheng from the shipyard came to the Governor's Mansion in a hurry.

"Lord, lord, happy event, great joy! The boat used for our experiment can already go to sea, although it is much smaller in terms of proportion, but this sailing, compared with ships of the same size, is very outstanding in terms of speed and center of gravity! ”

Chang Baisheng's face was full of joy, and the trial production was successful in just over 20 days, which was really unexpected.

"You mean to check it out now?" Although Li Yuanba said that he really wanted to go and see it now, it was already approaching evening, how could he go to sea to try this black light?

Li Yuanba's words were said by Chang Baisheng for a moment, and he immediately reacted, it is indeed a taboo to go to sea this night.

"This ...... It's the lower officials who are abrupt! Chang Baisheng touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Then the lower official will come to invite the prince tomorrow?" ”

"Well, you go back first, you don't need to come tomorrow, this king will go by himself!" Li Yuanba nodded slightly, and suddenly said: "By the way, the agreed time for this month is almost up, is there any substantial progress on the Fa Yan Dao Chief's side?" ”

Li Yuanba remembered the old saying, he hadn't seen him for more than 20 days, and he didn't know if the 'steam engine' on his side had been made.

After all, this old guy's sworn appearance is very convincing, Li Yuanba simply let it go, I will give the materials if you want them, and I will give you money if you want them, and the only requirement for you is to put the 'steam engine' out. (To be continued......)
