I asked Zhong Hua to put the experts who mainly attack firearms in the Martial Arts Research Institute to focus on the improvement of iron pineapple, why is it called iron pineapple? That's because although the iron bamboo cannon made at the beginning was loud, the killing range was not good, and the broken shrapnel was about three or five pieces, and the poor ones were cracked from it, which gave the craftsmen of the Martial Arts Research Institute a headache.

After many test bombings, Ben Gongzi's brain had an idea, and he remembered the American grenade used in World War II in the American blockbuster, the surface is not smooth at all, but the surface is gridded, much like the skin of a pineapple, in this way, the killing range and lethality of this new bamboo cannon have been significantly improved, and the average killing range is one zhang in a square circle, which is strong enough.

In this battle, it was well reflected, especially the huge impact of the sound on the horses, and the destructive effect when the destruction of the enemy's cavalry was densely impacted.

The reason why they put their minds on the production process and size of ammunition is that Datang has a variety of throwing weapons, if this kind of large iron pineapple is used, hehehe, in this world, I am afraid that there is no obstacle that can stop the advance of the elite and brave Datang army.

As for the telescope and compass, after experiencing the baptism of war, they have been unanimously praised by users, believing that these things can improve the team's reconnaissance and travel ability and reduce the loss caused by the team's overall reaction time.

In this battle, the role of the horseshoe was quickly highlighted, and the number of horses that were not disabled in the past was reduced from 20 to 5 to less than half of the original 20 percent, and the loss rate of war horses in the war also decreased. And with Su Dingfang's surprise attack on the 10,000 elite horsemen of the Tiele tribe in Mobei through the desert, in the end, the number of war horses that still returned with the army reached more than sixty percent, compared with the past, after each battle, the war horses will appear fifty percent or even more than fifty percent of the loss, relatively speaking, a considerable number less, which makes Uncle Li very excited, you know, although the number of war horses in the Tang Dynasty is the largest since the founding of the Chinese nation, the highest has reached 700,000, but the war loss rate is also quite serious.

Originally, only part of the army's war horses were equipped with horseshoes, but now, Uncle Li has instructed that all horse farms and armies in Datang must let every war horse wear this kind of iron gadget that can protect the horse's hooves.

As for the saber, there is also the new style of the long lance, which has also been praised by a group of observers, the saber has been redressed for the vast majority of the cavalry units of the Tang Dynasty in less than half a year after I dedicated it to Uncle Li, and the kind of long lance that imitated the evolution of the Western cavalry impact method also opened Uncle Li's eyes, of course, the specific process needs further research and experiments, and then make a conclusion.

"Well, the old man thinks that since the reading power of the Ministry of Martial Arts Research Institute has been drawn out, the efficacy has improved very quickly, and the various instruments developed in it are like arm help for the improvement of my Datang's military strength, and these objects can not only be used in the army, but also for the people's livelihood and brigade of my Datang." On the side, Uncle Li Jing picked up the compass the size of a bottle cap and fiddled with it in his hand and said. The compass is now in the form of a thin sheet, one end is a metallic primary color, the other is painted red, the red end is always pointing north, and the metallic end is pointing straight south. This makes it easier to tell the way.

"Yes, I didn't expect it, by the way, virtuous son-in-law, the old man called you here today to talk to you about the post-war disposition." Uncle Li put down the telescope in his hand, this new type of telescope, the multiplier is already twice that of the original telescope, used in the palace, you can clearly see whether the Qingyang Mountain is moving people or animals, and even the facial features can be distinguished.

"Oh, father-in-law, just ask." I replied in a deep voice, this was an informal meeting, so not many people came, but Uncle Li Ji, Su Dingfang and others who participated in the battle were also there.

Uncle Li cleared his throat and said: "At present, our army has captured more than 100,000 prisoners, and some ministers of the DPRK and China think that it is not a long-term solution to let them gather in one place, but if it is used in the army, it is, well, at least my Tang Dynasty military strength is already strong enough." Therefore, the old man remembered the advice you had made to me, and now I would like to let you come here, and I would like to let you listen to your advice again. ”

---------------------------------------------------------- glanced at the top military figures, and it seemed that I was the protagonist of this informal meeting.

"That being the case, the son-in-law is bold and outspoken." I cleared my throat, I had already discussed the way to dispose of the captives, but this time, Uncle Li was not trying to convince him, but to convince the gang.

Tao Tao endlessly summed up and described the idea of using prisoners of war to contribute to the development of the great southwest and create a new era of the Tang Dynasty to go to the countryside and mountains to open up the people's livelihood.

Uncle Li first raised his doubts: "Virtuous son-in-law, although the old man also wants to rely on these prisoners of war to develop Lingnan and Guizhou, but these places are dangerous mountains and rivers, it is extremely difficult to travel roads, and it is extremely difficult to transport supplies...... "Uncle Li's doubts are very reasonable, which makes me make it difficult for a while, yes, this kind of time, if you don't give something convincing, maybe these many strong laborers will be let go."

"Brother Xian has a clever plan, your intelligence, I am also very admired by my brother, could it be that these more than 100,000 prisoners of war are even more difficult to build a Tang Military Academy?!" Is Su Dingfang agitating a general or what is he doing, building the Datang Military Academy?

A flash of inspiration flashed in my head, and the scenes in the academy swayed in my head, and finally froze on the wide academy avenue.

"Smack!" I slapped my high-five, and jumped off the couch with excitement: "Build, yes, it's construction, Brother Su is really a word to wake up the dreamer, hahaha......" I was so excited that I grabbed Su Dingfang's hand and praised this product for inspiring me, just in a short moment, it solved a big problem, well, it is worthy of the famous general Su Brother Tai Su who pinned the tetanus sword as a mascot on his waist, it really moved me too much.

"Brother Xian, Brother Xian, what are you doing?!" Su Dingfang was uncomfortable by me, and it took a lot of effort to pull his hand back, and his eyes glared at me in horror. Well, people who are not familiar with me must think that Ben Gongzi is guilty of hysteria, but people who are familiar with my surname know that I must have found the answer, at least, Uncle Li and others looked at me very urgently, although they did not open their mouths to stop my behavior, but his eyes had already told me, let me say the answer quickly.

"Father-in-law, son-in-law has a six-character mantra, that is: If you want to get rich, build roads first!" This established policy was smashed hard in front of Uncle Li and a group of important military ministers, and they were all stunned.

Uncle Li smashed his mouth in confusion, twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered quietly: "Return the six-character mantra...... I said, "Son-in-law, where do you start?" Don't sell it anymore. ”

"Oh, father-in-law, do you know why I am almost sixty percent of the richest in the world? Why, it is because the transportation in Guanzhong is developed and convenient, and the countries in the Western Regions of Longyou in the west ...... "For the report that transportation can promote the circulation of goods and bring prosperity to the local economy, we have participated in the mountainous counties of Guizhou countless times, for example, after widening the road, it can not only strengthen the trade exchanges between various places, but also strengthen the centralized rule."

Hearing that the big guys had already come to their senses, Uncle Li was even more energetic and wringed his hands, but he could still suppress the excitement in his heart, just like the excitement of those cadres from poor villages in the mountains and villages who came to the county town for a meeting and heard that they were going to get a large amount of poverty alleviation money there.

"Father-in-law, what do you think, if my Tang Dynasty is between each road, it is connected by the mud and stone road like Chang'an to the Military Academy, and then to Luoyang, the eastern capital, which can almost start from morning to evening, so as to not only strengthen the control of the court over the world, but also promote the circulation of goods between places, when the time comes, the brocade of Jiannan, the porcelain of Jiangnan, and the good horses, cattle and sheep of the north...... "I painted to Uncle Li a wonderful picture of the avenues leading to Rome, and the Great Qin in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, The prosperity of the Roman Empire was closely linked to the expansion of their transportation.

"Beloved nephew, the old man has a question he wants to ask." Uncle Li Jing cleared his throat and asked me, who was already dry-mouthed.

After pouring a large sip of tea to moisten my throat, I smiled and said, "Please also ask my uncle to speak clearly." ”

---------------------------------------------------------- "If it is a court cultivator, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, but twice the manpower, you can't cultivate so fast, you only rely on the academy of only 6,000 people, you can get more than ten miles of muddy roads you build in just over a month, the old man is very curious, he has always forgotten to ask you, why is this?" As soon as Uncle Li Jing's words came out, Uncle Li also sighed and slapped his thigh: "If it weren't for Li Aiqing mentioning this, I would have almost forgotten." ”

"It's actually very simple." I smiled mysteriously, and said only two words, so that everyone almost bit their tongues.

"Gunpowder?! But what does this gunpowder have to do with road construction? "When the first question is Su Dingfang, a famous Su general, when he set up a murderous self-help tour group to travel to the grassland, I once privately gave him a lot of iron pineapples, which is the best weapon for night raids, Su Dingfang only led three thousand elite horsemen to raid the Servant Bone King's Tent, and it was this that made the enemies more than ten times their number become headless flies, so that they could do their best in one battle.

However, their thinking is too narrow, their horizons are not broad enough, and their cognition of new things only stays at a level that I can use, and I can't comprehend it at all, and it can be seen from this point that their concepts are too old.

Therefore, we must innovate and cultivate a new generation of highly energetic and new generation of Datang people with the ability to create surnames, of course, not to cultivate these old ruffians.

"It is gunpowder, the birth of gunpowder is equivalent to creating a new era, a new era of the Tang Dynasty, and the reason why the road construction of the military academy can be so fast is because of the help of gunpowder." I nodded affirmatively, lime and cement are inseparable from stone, and the paving and structure of roads are also inseparable from stone, and gunpowder is the nemesis of those hard boulders that make it difficult to excavate. I explained to these people in detail the purpose of gunpowder.

Finally, everyone agreed that the road must be built, but there was still a slight hesitation about the idea of using prisoners of war to open stones to build roads.

I couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, you are not a pedantic king, so those benevolent and righteous sons-in-law don't need to talk to you, besides, the risk of this matter is extremely low, but it is greatly conducive to the development of my Tang Dynasty, the stability of the country, there is no need to let the people increase labor, nor do they need to hire a large number of people, let alone distribute wages, what they need is just tools and rations, they only need an army of soldiers to take care of them, these people have no weapons in their hands, even if they want to rebel, they have to weigh themselves, so they really kill like this, Either send it out, or release it back to the grassland, no less than a tiger returning to the mountains. Such a good opportunity, if you give up ......" My eyes were very sad, and my tone was very sad, I felt like Qu Yuan, or Bigan, in short, where can I find a person like us who wholeheartedly contributes all his strength and strategies to the people of the Tang Dynasty and the development of the Tang Empire?

"The words of bereaving the virtuous nephew are indeed reasonable, but Weichen thinks that there will be opposition to this matter among the courtiers." Uncle Li Ji also seemed to express his support for my proposal with reservations.

Uncle Li is already moved, but he is still a little hesitant, no, we have to work harder.

"Your Majesty, look at this." I pointed to the gold national emblem that Uncle Li hung in his room.

"Huh?!" Uncle Li looked at me curiously, then at me again.

In the surprised eyes of a group of people, I stood up, walked to the wall, stretched out my hand and took down the gold national emblem, it was very heavy, I am afraid that there is at least two or three catties, if I take it to sell, it will be worth at least thousands of yuan, I reluctantly walked back and presented it to Uncle Li. "Your Majesty, please see the warning above."

"The interests of the Tang Empire are above all else! ......" Uncle Li muttered as he reached out and stroked the raised font on it.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, the so-called righteousness, benevolence, and morality, that is to speak to our own people, and they are not our people of the Tang Dynasty at all, can we use our mouths, can we use benevolence, righteousness and morality to ask them to make peace with us? Can they stop kidnapping and killing my Tang people? No! Therefore, why should we tell them about benevolence and righteousness, the most important thing to consider is to do everything possible to achieve greater benefits for the Tang Dynasty and the court, of course, it is squeezed from the hands of the enemy, that is important to ourselves, how to do it is beneficial to the people, the court, and my Datang, that is right, we can't shed our own blood in exchange for lessons, and building roads with prisoners of war is a strategy to benefit the enemy, why can't we use it? ”

---------------------------------------------------------- my almost shocking remarks are being copied on Uncle Li's living notes with a rustling pen, and I hope that it will be branded into the hearts of Uncle Li and a minister, this is my wish.

"Although the virtuous son-in-law's words are extreme," Uncle Li took a long breath, stood up, and sneered a few times: "However, I like it!" It is beneficial to my Datang and my people, that is right, this is deeply in line with my meaning! ”

Syllable! The decision was made, Uncle Li gritted his teeth, increased the amount of gunpowder, and decided to adopt my suggestion for the sake of the centralized power of the Tang Dynasty and the development of the infrastructure of the Tang Dynasty.

However, for the sake of safety, Uncle Li Ji suggested that at least a non-commissioned officer of the first army should be sent as a supervisor, and in order to prevent the prisoners from slacking off, an additional thousand craftsmen who are familiar with road construction should be sent as foremen to guide and supervise the progress of the project anytime and anywhere.

Two days later, at the Great Dynasty Meeting, as an official from the fourth grade, I was picked up by Uncle Li and brought me from the concert hall to listen to the plan I proposed that day. On this day, Uncle Li officially announced at the court meeting that he was going to carry out labor reform for these captives of Tuguhun and Tiele, in order to atone for the sins they committed in the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, no, by all means," Kong Yingda and Old Master Kong were the first to jump out. Uncle Li pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, he had a headache for this descendant of Confucius, well, I also have a headache for Uncle Li.

Then, this old man Kong also began to spit on the scriptures, and made a subtle criticism of Uncle Li's unkind behavior, thinking that my Tang Dynasty is the center of the world, and now it is the grand scene of all countries coming to the dynasty, so we should treat those small countries and subordinates who are jumping in front of us with the measure of everyone's elders, and be a man. "Your Majesty, repay grievances with virtue and treat people with sincerity,...... Benevolence is the sword, only then can the world be determined, and the four Yi will be able to submit......"

"Fart! Fart, fart......" Suddenly, an indignant roar echoed in the empty hall, echoing for a long time.

Old man Kong's triumphant expression instantly froze on his face, the corners of his eyes twitched angrily, and he twisted his head suddenly, everyone sat firmly, and the only thing that moved was only the head part.

All eyes fell on my neighborhood, and I quickly turned my head in curiosity, looking left and right, as if looking for the source of the voice. "Fang Jun, come to the front of me!" Uncle Li's angry voice came.

Depend on! Fuck, it's me again?! Isn't it just angry but whispering a curse? I don't know which bastard deliberately harmed me or what, the position I sat in seemed to be a bit like the source of an echo wall, and the low roar I had just now would definitely not exceed fifty decibels, but it had been echoing in the empty Hanyuan Palace, and the courtiers in the hall could hear it clearly.

He walked in the direction of the jade steps with his head downcast, and then saluted Uncle Li: "Weichen Fang Jun, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Under the cover of the salute, he glanced around very covertly, mother, the old man's face was already green with anger, and he glared at me viciously, pointing his fingers at me, and he was unpredictable between the palm knife and the eagle's talon. Look at the old man's posture, the hairs on my back stand up, and when the court will disperse, we have to slip away first, and then crawl home, squeeze the back of my mother's buttocks, I'm afraid that we can escape this catastrophe.

"Fang Jun! How dare you make a big statement above the court! What a system! "Uncle Li is very dignified and authentic, although Uncle Li also thinks that Old Man Kong's words are very similar to the excretion of gas in the human body, but he can't always hit people's positive surnames in person, but Old Man Kong is also a Chinese culture sacrificial wine, which is equivalent to the president of the National University and the Minister of Education.

---------------------------------------------------------- "Your Majesty! The old minister implored His Majesty to cure the great sin of this yellow-mouthed child roaring in the court! Kong Yingda jumped to her feet angrily, but people are not old, and they know how to scream in front of people all day long.

"Kong Aiqing don't be impatient, Fang Aiqing didn't think about it on purpose, but, Fang Jun, you are so bold, do you know what kind of place Hanyuan Hall is, how can you let you scream indiscriminately!"

"Wechen is guilty." I obediently repented, and secretly scolded Uncle Li, an old scumbag, in my heart, obviously I said what was in my heart for him, and there was something deliberately hanging on the dragon chair, damn!

"Your Majesty, Fang Jun is just from the fourth grade, so blatantly despised Shangguan, and he still said nothing, the old man wanted," Old man Kong didn't want to let me go, so he stood in front of me, and the spittle Xingzi almost sprayed me in the face.

Uncle Cheng was very hippie and smiling to see the excitement, the old man was practicing his lung capacity there angrily, as for Uncle Li, his expression was very protective of the majesty of the emperor, but he felt that this old man scum was watching the excitement, and he was embarrassed to play his eyelids as if he was sick.

(To be continued)
