Datang Storyteller: Uncovering the Secret of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er was stunned

Chapter 206 Lend you 5 elite soldiers, with 1 enemy 3

Another reason is that Li Shimin wanted to test Murong Jingchuan again.

"No, Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with Jing Chuan, but he was a little shocked. I didn't expect His Majesty to be so straightforward and decisive. Jing Chuan thanked Your Majesty again."

"When things are done, Jing Chuan will be loyal to His Majesty, pay tribute and treasures every year, and bow his head and proclaim his ministers forever."

Murong Jingchuan knelt on the ground, sincerely grateful.

He originally thought that even if he surrendered to Datang, His Majesty of Datang would make things difficult for him in the matter of borrowing soldiers.

But he didn't expect that His Majesty Tang would arrange this matter so quickly.

At this moment, he felt guilty for his villainous heart.

"Hahaha, the First Prince should stop saying such polite words. If there is no other arrangement, the First Prince will go back to the post station to pack his things and go outside the city to meet General Li."

Li Shimin laughed, he was very satisfied with Murong Jingchuan's attitude.

What he wanted was Murong Jingchuan's submission.

Datang's territory will not remain unchanged, and he also has more important things to do, so he will not have too much energy to manage all the territories. The reason why he agreed to let Murong Jingchuan submit is also because of this.

After all, he is the eldest prince of Tuyuhun, so it is very appropriate for him to govern Tuyuhun.

And all he had to do was arrange a few competent people to follow Murong Jingchuan.

The reason why Li Shimin was so confident was because of the weapons provided by Qin Yu.

He knows, but others don't, for example, Murong Jingchuan.

"Your Majesty is so quick that General Li has already led the troops out of the city?" Murong Jingchuan was even more excited and excited after learning that Li Shimin's arrangement did not leave the city.

"May I ask how many soldiers and horses His Majesty has arranged?"

"Fifty thousand elite soldiers."

"fifty thousand!"

After hearing the specific number, the expression on Murong Jingchuan's face became stiff.

fifty thousand.

"Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"

Li Shimin shook his head, "I'm not kidding you, it's indeed fifty thousand."

But he also said that he is an elite soldier.

One against three.

In other words, his 5 horses are worth at least 15.

This is not a small amount.

These 5 horses are not only capable, but also equipped with explosives. At critical moments, with explosives, it is impossible not to win this battle.

Moreover, there are soldiers guarding the border at the border.

There are also a full 5 horses.

Adding up two by two, there are already [-] soldiers and horses, and it is enough to send troops to Tuyuhun.

"But……"

"Okay, First Prince, don't worry. Since I have reached a cooperation with you, I won't break my word. You can go back with peace of mind."

"Everything, I have made arrangements."

Hearing Li Shimin's last sentence.

Murong Jingchuan woke up instantly.

Arrangements are made!

That is to say, it is not only the 5 troops who sent troops this time.

He just misunderstood.

He just said, how could Li Shimin only send [-] troops for such a big matter.

Now, he is relieved.

"In that case, then Jing Chuan will take his leave first."

Murong Jing Chuanyue and Li Shimin said goodbye, then went out of the palace and returned to the post station to pack up his things before rushing out of the city.

On the way, Murong Jingchuan ordered: "Ada, don't rush to reveal this beforehand. If someone finds out about us, don't startle them, just say that we have borrowed [-] soldiers and horses."

"My subordinate understands."

Ada nodded in response.

Royal Palace.

Ganlu Temple.

Although Murong Jingchuan left, Qin Yu and Cheng Yaojin did not leave.

After solving the important matter, Li Shimin looked at Qin Yu and said, "Qin Yu, I really have to admire you."

"Oh?"

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows.

Li Shimin said this suddenly, which made him a little confused.

"Do you remember our bet?"

Qin Yu nodded. He naturally remembered that when discussing the status of artisans, he made a bet with Li Shimin.

Ask him to recruit craftsmen. If he can increase the iron production within a month, then he has won. Li Shimin wants to hire these craftsmen.

And improve the status of artisans.

If not, it means Qin Yu lost.

As a result of losing, Qin Yu helped Li Shimin mine iron to increase iron production.

But at this time, Li Shimin said he admired it, obviously Qin Yu won.

"The creativity of those craftsmen is amazing. Since I recruited craftsmen among the people, they have provided a variety of tools, and the output has increased several times in just a few days."

"Their joining has also increased the enthusiasm of the original craftsmen. With their joint efforts, the iron output of my Tang Dynasty has quadrupled compared to before."

When Li Shimin spoke, his tone was full of excitement.

This situation was something he hadn't thought of before.

Qin Yu shook his head, "It's too slow, it's still too slow."

The expression on Li Shimin's face froze.

Still slow?

He had never seen it so fast.

"Today's iron output can't even support the army, let alone other needs, especially the casting and use of wooden warehouses, which require a lot of iron."

"The current output is far from enough, let alone the folks, who also need iron for their farm tools."

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

What Qin Yu said is true.

And that's why he called Qin Yu today.

It is true that the output has increased, but the demand is greater than before, and the supply is completely in short supply, which makes Li Shimin very anxious.

"Then what can you do to solve the problem of using iron?"

Qin Yu nodded, "There are two points. First, continue to optimize mining tools and use explosives in mining."

"The second point is to build a large smelter."

Only by forming a large-scale and batch production process can the problem of iron scarcity be gradually resolved.

"Explosives?"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized.

Yes.

This dynamite pack can open mountains, blast rocks, and naturally it can also be used to mine iron ore.

Not only that, once this explosive is used, the problems faced before will no longer be problems.

Qin Yu nodded, "That's right, it's explosives, but you must pay attention to safety when using them, so as not to hurt the workers."

"I know this, what happened to the smelter?"

"The smelting plant is also called a big melting pot, and it is mainly used for iron and steel making." Qin Yu said as he walked up to Li Shimin, grabbed his royal brush for reviewing memorials, and began to draw.

When the words are finished, the painting is also finished.

A sample of a large melting furnace has already appeared on the paper.

Li Shimin looked at the big melting pot that Qin Yu drew with joy, "Hahaha... this is not bad, not bad, if this furnace is full of molten iron, then at least tens of thousands of catties of iron can be produced at one time."

Cheng Yaojin also leaned over to take a look, smacked his lips and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's more than tens of thousands of catties."

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Qin Yu's drawing and said.

Li Shimin on the side quickly calculated the data.

According to the diagram Qin Yu drew, to smelt tens of thousands of catties of iron is definitely not much more.
