Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 371 Firearms Factory
The field of vision goes to the outskirts of the imperial city, and the orange-red sunset hangs in the sky, reflecting the red fire clouds.

After listening to the poignant story, the two sat on the spot with their heads propped up and sighed softly. The afterglow blew through the hanging hair, outlining the golden outline.

From Li Xian's perspective, there is a bit of beauty and a touch of sadness, with an indescribable beauty.

The delicious food in front of her didn't seem so alluring. Axiu put her head on her propped up knees. She was a martial arts practitioner with a firm mind. At this time, she was also infected, and her expression was a little sad.

"The story is good. If there are some sweet endings, everyone will be happy."

"You kid, you told some tearful stories on the day of the reunion, which really broke the atmosphere."

Angrily stuffing some cold meat into his mouth, he snatched the ocarina from Li Xian's hand.

"Don't blow these outlandish things in the future. People who listen to it will panic and feel unhappy."

He rolled up his sleeves as if to smash them down, but was stopped by Princess Changle beside him.

There were wet traces on the blinking eyelashes, Princess Changle squeezed out a smile from the corner of her mouth, drove the ocarina back, and spread it on her palm.

"Emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy are the emotions that should exist in the world. I made a bad start before, which caused such dullness."

"As far as this piece is concerned, it is a classic. Listening to it quietly in the middle of the night must have a special taste."

Playing with the ocarina in his hand, imitating Li Xian's previous appearance, with white and tender fingers covering a few holes, he played the tune according to the memorized tune for a while, but smiled softly with his mouth pursed.

"The story is sad and beautiful. After all, the cocoon is broken into a saucer. It is also a happy ending, isn't it?"

Li Xian was slightly taken aback, and for a moment, smiled lightly.

"What Her Royal Highness said is very true. Turning butterflies into pairs, swimming in the sea of ​​flowers, overlooking the warmth and warmth of the world, is not a happy ending."

Looking at the setting sun from the corner of the eye, Li Xian spoke.

"It's late, I'll take the two of you home first."

"What about the story? Do you want to tell it tomorrow?"

The beautiful eyes blinked, and she spoke out almost subconsciously, Princess Changle's eyes were filled with hope.

Looking at the eyes that could talk, Li Xian really couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he coughed lightly.

"As long as the money is ready... everything will be fine."

"you……"

……

What awakened Li Xian was not the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, let alone the dreams of future generations, but the little eunuch from the imperial city!
When the cock crowed, a long and sharp sound broke the tranquility of the Li Mansion.

In a daze, Li Xian knelt down to receive the order along with the people in a hurry, as if it was the news that he had been transferred to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

After reading the lengthy imperial decree, Li Xian really went crazy.

Didn't Li Er already personally agree to it before?

Why is there another imperial decree to say this matter again, solemnly?
What's even more hateful is that the sky is still dim, disturbing the first lucid dream in the past!
According to the unwritten rules, the little eunuch with a blushing face was rewarded with a few copper coins, and the little eunuch who was listening leaned into his ear and said.

"Your Majesty said that there is no need to go to court in the morning, but the matter of the firearms store must not be delayed."

"Young Master Li should rush out without stopping..."

Sure enough, it was Li Er, the old fox, who was behind the scenes. Li Xian cursed secretly in his heart, put on his clothes on his sleepless body, and followed the little eunuch to the armory in the suburbs.

I have to admire the construction speed of Datang. A huge project was abruptly completed in less than half a month. The ordnance station, which was several times larger than the previous workshop, was located at the foot of a barren mountain. Gao Shilian, who was patrolling around, with white beard and hair, straightened his waist and received Li Xian far away at the intersection.

"I'm getting old, and it's true that every year is not as good as every year. It's still a young man like Mr. Li, young and strong, full of energy, so he came early."

"It seems that in the future, when the firearms store is completed, Mr. Li will need to spend a lot of effort to control it."

"It is about the safety of the people in the west of the Tang Dynasty, and it is even more about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. With a hardworking young man like Mr. Li, why worry about the Tang Dynasty not being able to stand at the forefront of the eastern countries."

Li Xian bowed solemnly to this respected old man, smiled shyly, and did not speak to him.

Isn't that the veteran who is obsessed in the court with a smooth tongue?
Li Er made a decree in the palace to spare people from their dreams.

On the side of the firearms depot, Gao Shilian's first words were full of bureaucratic accents. The two must have made a plan, and fastened themselves to the firearms depot in unison.

Walking into the gate with red lacquer and copper riveting, the soldiers on both sides were straight and straight, without squinting. Li Xian noticed that these soldiers were dressed in silver armor, with the logo of tiger or bird carved on the shoulder armor, obviously they belonged to Li Shimin's command. Sergeant of the Kings Forest.

It seems that this time Li Shimin attaches as much importance to this matter as he does guarding the safety of the four gates of the imperial city.

Stepping on the neatly paved stone road, Li Xian looked at the huge three-story building in the center. In terms of its fineness, it may be inferior to the Taiji Palace, but in terms of its majestic scale, it is indeed more majestic than the Taiji Palace.

At the four corners of the attic, a ten-foot-high archery tower rises from the ground. Soldiers with bows and arrows and crossbows wander around the high platform, looking around vigilantly, echoing the patrolling soldiers with longbows on the attic, forming the most stringent line of defense in the entire arsenal. .

"This attic is a prepared firearm that shakes the sky. It has four floors. The underground compartment is where the secrets of the blueprint formula are hidden."

Gao Shilian, who was walking side by side, was obviously very satisfied with this defense mechanism. He pointed with his cross arm and introduced them to Li Xian one by one.

"Mr. Li can rest assured to do manufacturing research again. Outsiders have no right to enter, even princes and grandchildren will not easily let them go."

While speaking, Gao Shilian took out a fish-shaped talisman from his sleeve pocket, and waved it in front of Li Xian.

"This is a special talisman, you have it, I have it, there are only two of them."

"Only with this object can you enter the underground storage room, and only then can you store and take out the blueprints. Mr. Li, please guard it carefully."

After taking the talisman from Gao Shilian's hand, Li Xian frowned slightly.

"Why do I feel... this is not an armory... but a dungeon where we are imprisoned here..."

Ha ha ha.

Gao Shilian chuckled and patted Li Xian on the shoulder.

"Nowadays, there are more and more foreign tribes outside the Tang Dynasty. Firearms have a great bearing on the safety of the Tang Dynasty."

Gao Shilian lowered his voice as he leaned closer to Li Xian's ear.

"This kind of precaution is not only to curb the spying of foreigners, but also to protect Mr. Li from being harmed. The strict laws and regulations formulated can also restrain those who have a heart in the Tang Dynasty from using their crooked minds."

"As for Mr. Li, he can naturally come and go freely without reporting to anyone."

"For this reason, His Majesty specially arranged for two guards to secretly protect Mr. Li."

Li Xian didn't pay attention to the following words, as long as he knew that he was free to enter and exit, it was the best rule.

Bowing to the old minister beside him, Li Xian smiled.

"Please trouble Duke Shen."

"Your Majesty, Li Xian, also thanked you for your kindness."
