Chapter 298 The Emperor's Letter

The last time Qin Mubai wrote to the emperor to request the implementation of the new policy and ask for seeds, Li Shimin had a tacit understanding and handed over the right to operate and use the iron ore in Lanzhou to Qin Mubai. An important reason is that there is a major military plan that has long been secretly discussed between the king and ministers - to officially use the red cannon for the military.

The most important resource for this kind of cannon is "iron". With iron ore in hand, Qin Mubai is like a fish in water. The master craftsman in charge of this project, Tu Youhai, and the gunpowder master Qin Shi, also worked very hard. After a few months, there was a result.

Qin Mubai's private clothes came to the iron mine area dozens of miles outside Lanzhou City, turned into more than ten miles into the mountains and forests, and came to this secret "military scientific research base". What he saw was 20 majestic red cannons!

"General Qin, God bless the Tang Dynasty! The iron in Lanzhou is just like being born for the cannon in red!" Tu Youhai said excitedly, "With the iron barrel, the possibility of explosion has been minimized, the temperature resistance is strong, and the possibility of continuous firing has been greatly improved. In addition to the continuous improvement of the process, the accuracy of the cannon is not the same - why don't the general try it?

"Good!" Qin Mubai was also a little excited, so he designated a target two or three hundred steps away, equivalent to twice the range of the bow and arrow, and let them shoot.

After a slight debugging, the sea ignited the lead, the loud noise of thick smoke, and the small forest in front of it was almost razed to the ground!

I tried the other two cannons, and there was no difference!

"That's great!" Qin Mubai praised in a good mood, "This is the cannon in red that I want! - Tu Youhai, you and others have made great contributions to the society. I will definitely show your majesty and reward you again!"

"General Xie Qin!" Tu Youhai and others thanked them with joy and said, "Dare to ask the general, when will these 20 cannons be taken away?"

Qin Mubai thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, put it here first. When I want to use it, I will naturally send someone to pick it up. Moreover, if you want to be proficient in using such a cannon, you can't do it without training in advance. When I go back, I will choose some confidants to come here to practice. Tu Shiling, you will be responsible for guiding them.

"The general has an order, and the humble position will definitely do it!"

Returning to Lanzhou, Qin Mubai immediately began to deal with this matter. The Zhongjun Yifu are all elite sergeants, but they are all rare horse archers who can ride and shoot well. It may not be a pity to change their jobs as artillerymen. So Qin Mubai discussed with his father and asked him to select 200 strong, strong and loyal and reliable strangers or group card soldiers from other military mansions. After the secret assembly, Qin Mubai personally took them to the "scientific research base" and handed them over to Tu Youhai and began to train their gunnery skills. At the same time, the basic production of scientific research has continued, and the confidentiality and safety measures here have been increased, and the food and clothing provided have also been improved a lot.

Now, everyone here is equivalent to the "national wealth" and "senior scientific researchers" of the Tang Dynasty. One of the most ordinary craftsmen received the seven-grade treatment equivalent to that of the county magistrate. If there are any other requests, Qin Mubai also tried his best to satisfy them, so that they can concentrate on scientific research here with peace of mind. Later, in order to make it easier to call it, Qin Mubai jokingly called it "Iron Valley", because he had created a grand plan to build it into a "Silicon Valley" with the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty.

If there is a plan, it will be implemented immediately. It has always been Qin Mubai's habit. After returning to Lanzhou, he immediately began to deal with this matter. The most important thing in scientific research is "talent". Tu Youhai and others can't work here all their lives. Tiegu needs to constantly replenish fresh blood and backbone talents. In order to ensure that "There are successors", Qin Mubai specially selected a group of orphans who lost their loved ones and had excellent qualifications in the war, ranging from ten to fourteen years old. Under the premise of voluntary, they were asked to be apprentices in Iron Valley first.

Before he came, Li Shimin gave a large amount of money, which was dedicated to the "red-clothed cannon". Qin Mubai did not use the governor's part of the capital's finance to do these things, and the confidentiality measures have been excellent. The highest person in charge of Tiegu is Tu Youhai, and he only obeys Qin Mubai's orders.

Qin Mubai himself naturally assumed the role of "the highest engineer", specializing in providing theoretical foundations and various design drawings, and then handed them over to Tu Youhai and others to toss around. Whether the "toss" is successful or not, Qin Mubai will not lose much or work too hard. If there is a harvest, it can be regarded as an unexpected surprise - his mentality has always been very correct, and the regular army of the Tang Dynasty is still the foundation for sett down, and these devices are only used as auxiliary.

From spring to summer, thousands of hectares of fertile fields and thousands of miles of pastures, the green situation is gratifying.

The imperial court's "thousands of people into Lan" plan finally took the most powerful step. The first batch of military subordinates arrived in Lanzhou with a large number of living materials.

The first batch of military subordinates who arrived in Lanzhou are mostly candidates such as wives, concubines and maids of Lanzhou officers. Their hometowns usually leave their descendants or brothers to take care of the family business and filial piety to their parents. Of the 10,000 people, women accounted for 90%. When I entered the city, I was full of flowers and green, and my ears were full of chattering, which was spectacular and quite funny.

Nearly 10,000 women, just like a lubrication and maintenance for this high-speed large unit in Lanzhou. Previously, the impetuous military heart suddenly sank. The crazy accumulation of male hormones in the generals and soldiers finally got a great relief, and the physical and psychological pressure was light.

The soldiers tasted the sweetness and were sincerely grateful to Qin's father and son. But when I saw that they had no family to go to Lan, I couldn't help but feel and admire it. They came to persuade Qin's father and son, why not invite both wives?

Qin's father and son naturally refused. Naturally, there is no need to talk about it publicly. Therefore, some soldiers took the initiative to give the maid brought by their wife as a gift to the father and son of the Qin family. The intention is not to bribe, and everyone knows it.

Qin Shubao has always been arrogant and elegant, and he doesn't accept it at all. In fact, Qin Mubai hopes that his father can "** | swing" once and take two little maids to fill the house. Occasionally, it's not impossible to "harp", but the old man just doesn't accept it. He has to complain in his heart and it's not easy to say. - Well, the old man has to do this, and we can't help it. Learn from him! In Lanzhou, our father and son are the same brand. I can't go the other way.

Therefore, Qin Mubai had to be "highly and bright". However, he is young and full of blood, and there are only endless male hormones and exuberant energy. In order not to cheat and commit crimes, he had to turn these into sweat and squander them to the training ground for the time being.

On this day, the Governor's Office of Lanzhou received a "strange" "family letter". At that time, Qin Mubai was patrolling the farmland outside the state and county. Qin Shubao sent someone to deliberately call him back and said that there was something important to discuss.

Qin Mubai still ran back anxiously and asked his father, "Father, what's the big deal?"

"Well, it's really a big deal." Qin Shubao actually smiled strangely and handed a letter to Qin Mubai, "Look at it for yourself!"

The person who writes the letter calls this letter a "family letter", but no one in the world dares to treat it as a "family letter". Because the writer is the emperor Li Shimin.

In the letter, he called Qin Shubao "in-law". There is an important thing that needs to be listened to.

Qin Mubai laughed when he saw this. Li Shimin sometimes likes to engage in such "cold humor". As the lord of the world, what other ideas can't he have to make a decision?

It turned out that it was not something else, but the half-year period he had agreed with Princess Gaoyang had already arrived. Now, Princess Gaoyang is quarreling with Li Shimin all day long, saying that you have no joke and ask the emperor to allow her to come to Lanzhou to visit Qin Mubai. Li Shimin was upset by her and couldn't laugh, so he had to write to Lanzhou to move the rescuers.

After reading the letter, Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing and said, "Dad, why don't you just make up your mind about this? The child is doing business outside!"

"That won't work." Qin Shubao also smiled and said, "I am very relieved to see that you are busy with military and political affairs all day and put aside your personal affairs. But after all, you are still young and energetic. It's really hard to go home.

Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing. When did this father become so disrespectful? He smiled and said, "Father, handsome! The child is loyal to the country and has already left his own selfishness behind!"

"Shut up! Don't be high-sounding in front of me!" Qin Shubao scolded with a smile, "Your son Mo Ruo's father, how can you know what you think about? You kept asking me to accept the two maidservants sent by Xue Wanjun, in order to open the door of convenience for yourself, right? Son of a bitch, I can't help dragging me into the water!"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Don't leave the father and son!"

"How can that be!" Qin Shubao was angry, "Who is going to fight with you? Well, let's not talk about that! What I mean is that since Princess Gaoyang has promised to marry you, that's your person. As the saying goes, a married daughter is like splashing water. Even if she is a princess, she has to marry a chicken and marry a dog. Just let her come to Lanzhou. It doesn't matter! Although she is the most difficult little demon in the world, haven't you always been restrained by her? You are also a big man. As a father, I want to see you young couple have a happy in front of my lap, which is also a wonderful thing in life!"

Qin Mubai laughed and said, "Dad, Your Majesty is asking guests to kill chickens. Are you really rude?"

Qin Shubao stroked his long mustache and smiled and said, "As a father, I don't know. Your Majesty wants me to be this villain, and I have won the wish of Princess Gaoyang to go to Lan. But this time, I have to pretend to be crazy and stupid. Because I know that Your Majesty has always been extremely generous with men and women. Moreover, everyone knows that you have a marriage contract with Princess Gaoyang. At this time, if Princess Gaoyang goes to Lanzhou in person, it will also have great benefits for improving and stabilizing your position in Lanzhou. In public and private, it is a good thing for Princess Gaoyang to come to Lanzhou. Why not be happy for her father? At worst, he will return to Chang'an in the future and be scolded by your majesty in private for a while, and he won't cut off his father's head!"

"Haha!" Qin Mubai shook his head and laughed, and sighed, "Dad, you can do whatever you want!"

"Uh-huh--" Qin Shubao lengthen his voice and hummed with a long nasal voice. He also looked quite proud and happy. He said with a smile, "Then I'll reply!"

Qin Mubai laughed repeatedly. He didn't expect that his father, who had always been serious and old-fashioned, could do such a ridiculous and lovely thing. He is right. Li Shimin has always been extremely generous with men and women, which is probably an incentive for the opening up of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Because originally, he was a romantic.

If Gaoyang comes to Lanzhou, the fool knows that this is tantamount to living with me "unmarried".

Since Princess Gao Yang dares to say that she is still struggling to come, if Li Shimin is really disgusted and unhappy, he will not write such a letter to Qin Shubao. He knows Qin Shubao well. In case Gaoyang goes to Lanzhou and Qin Shubao is not happy, Li Shimin's face as an emperor must not look good. Now as long as Qin Shubao nod, you have to - baby daughter, you go happily. Dad can't control you!

Qin Mubai was also a little excited. After all, I am a man. Especially when he saw his officers coming to work happily and going to work happily every day, he felt embarrassed. At the same time, he felt that he was more "man" - jealous!

Now, Mr. Gaoyang is here. It's time for those guys to be jealous of themselves!

At this moment, Qin Mubai really wants to yell at Qin Shubao: Father is wise! The child's happiness and sexual happiness depend on you!
