Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 452: Impeachments one after another, trying to impeach the shipyard
The next day, Fang Yuan was ready to set off.

This day is also the day when the institute moves.

Early in the morning, the institute's employees arrived at the institute as usual.

This time was different from the previous work. This time they packed up their families and set off.

There are nearly a thousand people in the institute, plus their families, and the number suddenly reaches three to four thousand.

Moving so many people is a very difficult task, and accidents may occur if you are not careful during the process.

But fortunately, Fang Yuan used a ship to move, so he didn't have to worry about anyone getting lost during the move.

"This time, we left by boat, and the boat was at the Weishui port."

"If anyone finds it too far, you can set out on a bicycle or tricycle. There are tools at the warehouse for everyone to use."

Zhou Shi said loudly.

He is the leader of the team and is responsible for arranging people from the institute to board the ship today.

Under Zhou Shi's arrangement, some members of the institute chose to walk without any luggage.

Those who have a lot of luggage or have children choose to travel on tricycles or bicycles.

More than 3000 people were walking in the same direction. Even though there were few people on the road, they all noticed this situation, which immediately caused a great fluctuation.

"Are they from the institute?"

"Where are all these people going?"

"I heard it was a migration, is it really true?"

Pedestrians were shocked and quickly spread the word.

In an instant, the people in Chang'an City were shocked.

In the past, three major factories were shut down, and now even the research institute has been relocated.

Was it the actions of the imperial court that chilled Fang Yuan's heart and made him never want to stay in Chang'an City again?

Soon, the dignitaries in Chang'an City also received news about the relocation of the institute.

"Why are you still migrating?"

"Didn't the emperor consecrate Su Ziqing as the second-grade Madam Haoming?"

"No, I have to go and see for myself. Maybe the emperor will send someone to stop it!"

The dignitaries in Chang'an City were also talking a lot and were restless.

Some of them went to the palace to explain the situation to the emperor, and some went directly to the Weishui port.

In fact, there was no need for them to tell Li Shimin, because Li Shimin had already received the news.

"Asshole, he didn't listen to what I said?!"

Li Shimin was so angry that two pillars of air spurted out from his nose and he clenched his fists.

"Your Majesty, the people in the institute are all talents from our country. If we don't stop them, all the talents from our Datang City will drain out!"

Changsun Wuji said anxiously.

"nonsense!"

"They are all talents from Datang. They are not in Datang, but the research they do is also for Datang."

Li Shimin immediately looked at Changsun Wuji angrily, wishing he could kick Changsun Wuji in the feet.

It was all the machinations of your eldest son Wuji and Gao Shilian that caused Fang Yuan to stop work and relocate now.

I thought I had given Fang Yuan compensation and he would not move, but I didn't expect that he would pretend not to know, he had such a big appetite.

"Your Majesty taught you a lesson about the institute."

Changsun Wuji said sarcastically.

But my heart burst into laughter.

He deliberately worsened the relationship between the emperor and Fang Yuan.

If Fang Yuan continues to move, the emperor will definitely be more dissatisfied with Fang Yuan.

"Go and deliver!"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice.

He said to send it, not to stop it.

Because Fang Yuan’s trip was not only to relocate the institute, but also to go to Goguryeo.

If this trip to Goguryeo goes well, Goguryeo will become a little king from now on.

The little king cannot manage the government, and Goguryeo will definitely usher in a period of decline.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Tang Dynasty cannibalized Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and the half-dead Japan.

This is a great initiative, so it is appropriate to give it away.

But Changsun Wuji didn't know that Fang Yuan had another purpose for his trip, thinking that Li Shimin was going to settle a score with Fang Yuan.

He immediately went with Li Shimin full of excitement.

At this time, many ministers were waiting for the emperor's summons at the door of the imperial study.

They all wanted to persuade the emperor to stop Fang Yuan because he wanted to move the research institute into the palace.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Mr. Fang!"

"This person has no heart for the Tang Dynasty and has no desire to build the country and the country. I think he should not hold an important position!"

Someone stood up to impeach Fang Yuan.

His words received a lot of support, and the officials at the door of the Imperial Study Room all agreed.

They all went to the palace to find Li Shimin to stop Fang Yuan from moving the institute, and naturally they all wanted to impeach Fang Yuan.

In fact, they were secretly arranged by Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian to deliberately worsen the relationship between Fang Yuan and the emperor.

"I already know, let's go to the Weishui port first."

Li Shimin glanced at the dozen or so officials present and said coldly.

No matter what their motives were, Li Shimin didn't want to talk to them at this moment.

Because Fang Yuan and the people from the institute have already boarded the ship, if they arrive late, Fang Yuan and others may have left.

In this way, Li Shimin and others rushed to the Weishui port.

On the way, some officials followed, and there were officials all the way to the Weishui port.

What made Changsun Wuji and others curious was that many people rushed to the Weishui port on the way.

It's just a relocation of the institute. Are so many people paying attention to their departure?
Soon, Changsun Wuji and others understood why so many people were rushing here.

When they arrived at the Weishui port, they saw three huge ships parked at the edge of the port.

The size of the ship was five times or even larger than the largest ship they had seen before.

Moreover, from the appearance, it looks like steel rather than the usual wood.

"Why is this ship so big?"

Li Shimin got off the dragon chariot and looked at the behemoth in front of him in horror.

He has never seen such a big ship!

"Sir, see Your Majesty!"

Fang Yuan learned about Li Shimin's arrival and personally brought people over to salute him.

"Free gift!"

"Fang Yuan, why is this ship so big?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

He moved because Fang Yuan brought the institute.

But now he was more curious about how the ship in front of him became so big.

Such a big ship is very inconvenient to control, and it is also prone to sinking and other side effects.

"I have modified this ship and made it out of steel. I call it a steel ship."

Fang Yuan explained with a smile.

"Steel ship?!"

Li Shimin murmured.

Changsun Wuji and others also had flashing eyes.

Everyone looked at the three huge ships with horror in their eyes.

Although a steel ship sounds incredible, no one thinks that it cannot be launched into the water.

Because the person who created it is Fang Yuan, it is the institute, it is a place where legends can be created.

Many things in the institute are incredible, but they shock everyone every time they are launched, and they are very convenient to use.

So no one in front of the steel ship doubted whether it could be used, but thought about how powerful it was?
"Yeah, almost all made of steel."

"The main person in charge is Wang Shiyu from the Wang family."

Fang Yuan explained with a smile.

"Poetry?!"

Among the officials, Wang Gui exclaimed in surprise.

He finally understood why Wang Shiyu left early and returned late after returning from doing business abroad.

Was it originally intended to be such a behemoth? !
Okay, it was done so secretly, I only know it now.It is estimated that the emperor and others only found out now and were deeply shocked by it.

"Your Majesty, uncle."

Wang Shiyu is beside Fang Yuan.

When he heard Fang Yuan mentioning himself, he immediately stood up.

She knew that Fang Yuan was giving credit to himself, and she was very grateful.

"Wang Shiyu, let me ask you, what is the difference between a steel ship and an ordinary ship?"

Li Shimin nodded and asked directly.

"Big, fast, safe!"

"Obviously, it is larger than an ordinary ship, and its speed will be several times that of an ordinary ship. And the safest thing is that it will become safer to drive on the sea."

"In addition, there is another point. If it is used for fighting, it will definitely be the overlord of the ocean, the absolute overlord."

Wang Shiyu thought for a while and said.

After the steel ship was successfully launched, Wang Shiyu thought about setting off to the Western Regions.

However, after she went to Fang Yuan to explain the happy event that day, Du Miaoyan whispered something to her.

So she gave up the idea of ​​going to the Western Regions to do business, and had other ideas, and then followed Fang Yuan to Goguryeo today.

Absolute overlord!
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up.

The overall strength of the Tang Dynasty's navy was relatively weak and was no match for Goguryeo.

If the steel ship is really the overlord of the sea, it will be even easier to target these countries in the future.

And if you still have ideas in the future, other overseas countries can also go there and open up territory for the Tang Dynasty.

Similarly, the eyes of Changsun Wuji and others also lit up, and they instantly had ideas about the shipyard.

"Your Majesty, are you going with Mr. Fang on this trip?"

Changsun Wuji stood up and asked.

He remembered that the emperor just said to send Fang Yuan off.

After saying this, everyone looked at Changsun Wuji.

Even Fang Yuan looked at Changsun Wuji unexpectedly, feeling that Changsun Wuji was going to act like a monster again.

"Well, what happened?"

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji in surprise.

"Steel ships are important weapons of the country and important weapons related to the country."

"Of course, he is in the hands of Fang Shilang, we are very relieved."

"But if Mr. Fang is not here, wouldn't such an important killing weapon be a waste?"

Changsun Wuji said loudly.

After the words fell, some smart people understood what he meant.

"Your Majesty, I think what Changsun Shangshu said is absolutely true."

"While Minister Fang is away, I suggest that the shipyard be temporarily managed by a certain minister."

Gao Shilian also stood up and said.

Speaking of this, Li Shimin also understood.

The other ministers also understood, with fiery eyes.

If Wang Shiyu is right, then whoever is in charge of the shipyard will dominate the ocean in the future.

However, Li Shimin did not speak immediately, but looked at Fang Yuan, giving Fang Yuan a chance to answer.

"Changsun Shangshu is really devoted to the country, I deeply admire him!"

"But please don't worry. Your Majesty, please rest assured. The shipyard is already managed by someone."

"Qin Qiong's daughter-in-law, and Wu Ruyi, the second daughter of the late warrior Xun, will manage the shipyard's affairs during my absence in Chang'an City."

Fang Yuan looked at Changsun Wuji with a half-smile.

Good guy, he is eyeing his own product again.

But you can have what I have if you want it.

Soon you will know what consequences the three major factories will bring to you.

"It's me, Meng Lang. It turns out that Mr. Fang has already made arrangements."

Changsun Wuji was not disappointed, but slightly excited.

Whether it's Qin Qiong's daughter-in-law Lu Xia or Wu Ruyi, the second daughter of the late warrior Xun.

The two of them had no one to rely on when they got up, and it would be unwise for the shipyard to give them control.

If Fang Yuan was not in Chang'an City, it would not be difficult for the shipyard to change ownership.

"Your Majesty, all my people are on board, and I'm ready to set off."

"Thank you Your Majesty and all the ministers for sending me off. Fang Yuan will never let you down during this trip!"

Fang Yuan took a step back and saluted Li Shimin solemnly.

Wang Shiyu also followed Fang Yuan and saluted Li Shimin.

Among them, Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing were not there, they had already boarded the ship.

Regarding this matter, three to four thousand institute employees and their families have boarded the ship and are ready to sail at any time.

"In this case, I wish you success!"

Li Shimin's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded heavily.

He originally came with the idea of ​​preventing Fang Yuan from leaving.

But after seeing the steel ship, Li Shimin's mind changed slightly.

In the end, Fang Yuan said thank you in front of everyone and stopped worrying about it.

Anyway, just because the institute is moving, it doesn't mean that their research cannot be used in Datang.

Just like the steel ship in front of me, it needs material support from the Tang Dynasty. It is built in the Tang Dynasty. If I need to use it in the future, can Fang Yuan still provide it?

After thinking about this, Li Shimin did not force Fang Yuan to stay.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fang Yuan saluted again.

He turned around and left with Wang Shiyu and others.

Changsun Wuji and others looked at Fang Yuan's leaving figure with different expressions.

Woo! ! !
Suddenly, three long roars sounded.

Li Shimin and others saw three steel ships slowly leaving the port.

"Great!"

"Steel will not sink in water!"

"Another epoch-making good thing, the institute is really amazing!"

"It's just a pity that in the future, the institute will no longer be in Chang'an City, and it will be difficult for us to see its research results."

People sighed, were excited, and sighed.

Li Shimin looked at the three large steel ships slowly leaving the port, his eyes shining.

Their success in going to sea proved that Wang Shiyu was right, that steel ships would become the overlord of the sea.

Then, this seemingly ordinary shipyard in front of us should be managed by the imperial court from now on, or it can be managed indirectly.

"Where are Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi?"

Li Shimin asked suddenly.

Officials searched everywhere for the two people mentioned by Li Shimin.

But in fact, most of them didn't know Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi.

"Your Majesty, we are here!"

Two clear voices sounded from the crowd.

Soon, Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi squeezed out of the crowd and appeared in front of Li Shimin and others.

"Take me to visit the shipyard."

Li Shimin said calmly.

You've come, you can't leave without taking a look.

An existence that can create a maritime overlord cannot be missed.

After saying this, Changsun Wuji and others also expressed that they also wanted to visit with them.

"Your Majesty, ministers, please wait a moment."

"My brother will show you later why steel ships are the masters of the sea."

Lu Xia pointed at the three steel ships in the distance and smiled calmly.

Li Shimin and others suddenly became more confused and looked expectantly at the three large steel ships that had already left the port some distance away.
