When Li Ke came to Qianqiu Palace, Li Yan was also with Li Rong and Li Jing, which made Li Ke stay in Qianqiu Palace for a long time.

Li Yan was named Prince from the prince yesterday, which was an improvement in the title. At the same time, Li Shimin was telling him that he had grown up. However, Li Yan had a title without a ban. Li Ke guessed that this might be a signal that Li Shimin intended to let Li Yan follow him.

Li Yan was very happy, after all, he was named King Liang!

Concubine Yang was also happy for her two sons! Li Ke has now been named King of Northern and Li Yan has been named King of Liang again. What else can she not be satisfied with?

Moreover, she knew very well that she had a high status in the harem now. This was not to say that she was favored by Li Shimin, but because of Li Ke.

Because Li Ke gained great power in the court, he was specially favored by Li Shimin, which made her position in the harem only lower than that of Queen Changsun.

"Third brother, are you going to leave Chang'an?" Princess Qinghe Li Jing suddenly asked Li Ke.

"Jing'er, the third brother is going to Bingzhou in a few days. You must obey your mother's words and wait until the third brother comes back from Bingzhou next time, bring you good things!" Li Ke said to Li Jing.

Princess Qinghe is not very old. After thinking for a long time, she didn't continue to ask anything. She just said happily, "Third brother, please remember what you said!"

"Don't worry! Silly girl!" Li Ke touched Li Jing's head and smiled, "I just know how to play!"

Princess Gaoyang Li Rong on the side became very quiet. She had grown up and grew up graceful.

"Rong'er, do you have any people you like?" Li Ke asked Princess Gaoyang. He guessed that Princess Gaoyang would reach the age of getting married in one or two days. If she really had someone she liked, Li Ke thought she could help her. He didn't want Li Rong to marry a house eie for political reasons!

"Third brother!" Li Rong said shyly, "Where is it?"

"Hey! If you have someone you like in Chang'an, please write a letter to tell your third brother if you know? Third brother will make the decision for you!" Li Ke said seriously.

Li Rong felt warm when she thought of Li Ke’s refusal to marry her in the Tai Chi Hall, and shed tears. She said in a choked tone, “Third Brother, Rong’er remembers it!”

"Silly girl, why are you crying? You should be happy!" Li Ke gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Li Rong's eyes.

Li Rong was very excited. She threw herself into Li Ke's arms and cried constantly, which made Li Ke comfort him for a long time.

Concubine Yang looked at Li Ke quietly, and her eyes were filled with tears. She knew Li Ke's character very well. She believed that what Li Ke said to Li Rong just now was true.

Li Ke stayed in Qianqiu Palace until the afternoon before leaving with Li Yan.

Li Yan has been granted the title of king, so he can't live in the palace. Yesterday, the title of king was over, and Li Shimin has given him the royal palace in Chang'an City. But Li Yan still lives in Li Ke's Northern Palace, and he has not been to his own Liang Palace yet.

Because, yesterday, he had to decorate the palace according to his preferences, which was a matter of time.

The two brothers left the palace and slowly came to the Northern Palace.

On the way, Li Ke asked Li Yan, "Sixth brother, tell me what do you think in your heart?"

"What do you think?" Li Yan asked in confusion.

Li Ke was depressed. Why did he think that Li Yan became a little stupid when he was with him?

"I'm asking you, what do you think about yourself in the future?" Li Ke asked seriously.

He knew Li Yan's character very well. Li Yan was not a good person. Just when he glared at Li Chengqian on New Year's Eve, Li Ke could see that Li Yan would definitely be domineering in the future and would definitely be a ruthless person. Therefore, he had to ask Li Yan clearly about his ambitions before he could decide whether to change his bad habits.

"Third brother, I think it's great to be with my cousin and cousin. I like to do things with them." Li Yan said to Li Ke. The cousin he mentioned was Chai Zhewei, and his cousin was naturally Li Zong. And what he said about working with Chai Zhewei and Li Zong must be to go to the path of external expansion.

As for Li Ke, if Li Yan takes this path, he can be arrogant and domineering, and he is not bad at all.

"Okay, then you can go and do it with them after you return to Bingzhou! But you have to remember that you must listen to Zhewei and Li Zong, do you understand?" Li Ke said sternly.

"Don't worry, third brother, I won't do anything random!" Li Yan promised.

In fact, Li Ke attaches great importance to the trade engaged in by Chai Zhewei and Li Zong.

Because he knew very well that the development of maritime transportation would make the Tang Dynasty discover many colonies in the future, and the prosperity of these colonies was not comparable to that of the countries in the Western Regions. Therefore, the trade expansion of Chai Zhewei and Li Zong in the future will be the real focus of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yan will definitely have a future when he goes this path.

However, Li Ke himself knew very well that the fundamental reason for colonial expansion was to have strong military strength.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop the army!

Li Ke and Li Yan came to the Northern Palace. Li Ke asked him to find Chai Zhewei and Li Zong, and now he would do things with them. Chai Zhewei and Li Zong still have a lot to deal with in Chang'an.

Chang'an is the center of the Tang Dynasty's trade. If they want to form a caravan and dump the Tang Dynasty's goods into countries in the Western Regions, Goryeo and Fusang, they must deal with the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an. As for how Chai Zhewei would arrange him after Li Yan went, Li Ke was too lazy to care about it.

When Li Ke returned to the study, he began to check the information about the Tang Dynasty's shipbuilding and shipbuilding industry. He thought clearly about the current situation of the Tang Dynasty's shipping and shipbuilding industry. He did not focus on this before, but now that Li Shimin has agreed to his plan, he must take it seriously.

After he carefully read it, he found that there was a record that all the world's centres and boats gathered, along with Ba, Han, Fujian, Yue, seven lakes and ten rivers, three rivers and five lakes, rivers and lakes, rivers and Luo, and also surrounded Huaihai, huge ships, thousands of axes, thousands of ships, and trade, and return to the east. All the counties and counties in the southeast are connected to water, so most of the goods and boats in the world are gathered.

This made him affirm that Datang's maritime transportation was very developed, and the shipping industry was based on navigation technology and shipbuilding, and at the same time promoted the development of navigation technology and shipbuilding.

However, he also learned about the shipbuilding industry in Datang. The current ships in Datang have generally adopted the law of nail joints and tenons, while the European ship board connection method is still in the stage of using pi ropes to tie them. There are 9 cabins on the ship, and 3 pieces of wood mortise are used to connect the bottom of the ship. The two sides and cabin partitions and tent covers are all nailed together. There are water-sealed bulkheads in the ship, which divide the inner part of the hull into many parts. This structure effectively maintains the ship's sink resistance. The cabin plates and cabin sleepers in the ship are connected to the left and right sides, and the ship's side is composed of 4 large wood, and the flat nail is tied... Compared with the overlap method, this flat joint method has the advantages of not being easy to loosen, fall off, smooth hull, reducing resistance, and saving wood and reducing the weight of the hull itself. Therefore, Li Ke found that the construction technology and technical level of wooden boats are very advanced.

But when Li Ke was surprised, the Tang Dynasty's shipbuilding technology was also high. The two wings of the sea falcon were equipped with floating plates, which increased stability and could withstand wind and waves; the tower ship had several upper and lower floors, and the lower floors could be equipped with iron and stone basins, and the middle floors could be accommodated and lived, and the upper floors and the two sides could be arranged in layers to fight. The use of bows and arrows and stone cannons from a high place can often defeat the enemy. The hull was tall and the structure was strong. It could often plow and sink the enemy ships by the wind and pressing down, which was powerful, which was at the world's leading level.

With understanding these situations, Li Ke finally knew it!

However, the shipbuilding industry in the Tang Dynasty was indeed good, but from Li Ke's perspective, he was still very backward. He now urgently wanted to build a ship that could sail on the sea for several months in the Ming Dynasty.

So, Li Ke began his first round of deployment, and he was looking for skilled shipbuilders and ship workers with strong navigation skills.

"Wang Zhongchang, please let Zhu Tong come to the study!" Li Ke shouted to Wang Zhongchang outside the house.

"No" King Zhongdao.

Soon, Zhu Tong, the chief of the Black Guard's internal intelligence, appeared in Li Ke's study.

"See Your Highness!" Zhu Tong bowed to Li Ke.

"You ask the Eagle Guard to find the best shipbuilding craftsmen and shipmen with good sailing skills with me, and send them to Yingzhou and hand them over to Liu Rengui." Li Ke ordered Zhu Tong, "But you must pay attention to your methods of doing things and leave more money for their families. If their families also want to go to Yingzhou, then let them agree."

"No" Zhu Tong said.

"Also, I need the best blacksmiths in the Tang Dynasty. The more the better. You can do it! Send them to Bingzhou too." Li Ke said lightly.

"No" Zhu Tong replied.

When Zhu Tong left, Li Ke felt that he had to start acting too, and time waited for no one.

What he urgently wants now is the teaching staff needed after the establishment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the famous doctors needed after the establishment of the medical school.

As for the famous doctor, he confirmed Sun Simiao. He was a generational name hailed by later generations as the "King of Medicine". Although it was difficult to find him, Li Ke would never let Sun Simiao go. He even wanted Sun Simiao to be the dean of the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

As for literature, Li Ke really had no one in his heart, so he decided to ask his teachers Chu Suiliang and Cen Wenben. However, after thinking for a long time, he gave up on this idea. He felt that the current relationship between the two and him was very delicate, and he felt that there was no need to disturb them anymore. Therefore, he turned his gaze to Dong Boren, and he felt that his painting teacher would definitely give him a few great people.

Dong Boren is still in the Northern Palace and has not left yet.

So, Li Ke quickly arrived at the courtyard where Dong Boren lived. When he saw Dong Boren, Li Ke explained his purpose to him. Dong Boren agreed very much. He said that he could go to the college to teach. Li Ke happily agreed. At the same time, Dong Boren also introduced a person to Li Ke. His name was Xie Yan, an official who served in the Sui Dynasty with Dong Boren. After careful consideration, Li Ke found that there was such a person in history.

According to historical records, Xie Yan was a native of Wei County, Weizhou at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty. Xie Yan served as the chief minister of the sans. At the beginning of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Ying Zhao made a countermeasure and was appointed as the chief clerk of Gaoling. In the 11th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin drove to Xingdongdu, Gu, Luofanfeifei, and Luofanfei, and asked for direct advice. Xie Yan wrote a letter to express his gains and losses, and was deeply appreciated by Emperor Taizong. He was appointed as the direct scholar of the Hongwenguan, and later became the Gongcao of the King of Wei. Xie Yan once wrote "Du Fu" and "Shadow Fu" was very skilled. Emperor Taizong summoned him and first wrote a preface, saying that "the area is peaceful and the merits are prosperous." He was given a letter to Yan as a fu, and Yan wrote "Shunting Fu" for Zhao.

Emperor was happy and gave dozens of pieces of silk. At that time, Li Bai was good at poetry, but Yan was good at poetry. He was known as "Li Shi Xie Fu". In the 17th year of Zhenguan, he served as the commander of Xiangtan and died at the Shangshen. Historical records of old Tang books and other historical records, Xie Yan had ten volumes of collections of essays and four volumes of "Yinggong Story", all of which were lost. He wrote 550 volumes of "Guodizhi" with Xiao Deyan and others, which was a famous geography work in the Tang Dynasty. It was later lost. Now it has several volumes of collection. The 156th volume of "Complete Tang Literature" contains twelve chapters of his literary and fu. The 38th volume of "Complete Tang Poetry" contains four poems. The 199th volume of "Old Tang Book? Biography? Literature and Art" contains their biography.

In addition to Xie Yan, Dong Boren also introduced another person, that is Wang Ji.

Wang Ji, whose courtesy name was Wugong, and his pseudonym was Donggaozi, a native of Longmen, Jiangzhou. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was appointed as the secretary Zheng. He was not happy to be in the court, so he refused to be sick and was appointed as the Chief of Yangzhou **. At that time, the world was in chaos and he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown. During the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty, he ordered the officials of the previous court to be sent to the village. At the beginning of Zhenguan, he was dismissed from returning to Hezhu because of his illness, and farmed in Donggao, and called himself "Donggaozi". He was simple and arrogant, loved to drink five dou, and wrote "Biography of Mr. Wu Dou", wrote "Wine Classic" and "Wine Book". His poems were close but not shallow, but not vulgar, and were truly straightforward and casual, with a broad mind and lofty heart, and directly followed the high style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The rules originated in the Six Dynasties and formed during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Wu Gong was actually the first to speak.

With these two people, Li Ke is now much more confident.

Li Ke knew that Li Tai also had many talented people, but Li Ke knew Li Tai's ambitions very well. He wanted to write "Guo Dizhi", but these people were his right-hand mansion and would never give them to him. There were also many talented people in the Prince Li Chengqian's mansion. In order to cultivate him, Li Shimin often invited Li Chengqian, a famous writer at that time. But Li Ke also knew that it was impossible to have a relationship with him and Li Chengqian.

Therefore, after Dong Boren heard about Xie Yan and Wang Ji, he had thought about it and determined their position in literature in history, Li Ke felt much more relaxed.

He felt that one or two people in the college had to take charge, mainly depending on the professor's level and the students themselves.

After leaving Dong Boren, Li Ke began to ask the Yingwei to thoroughly investigate the addresses of the two. If he was in Chang'an, he wanted to invite them in person. If he was in Chang'an, he would want to write a letter to invite them to Bingzhou through Dong Boren. After all, both of them served as officials in the Sui Dynasty, and the relationship between the three of them was very good.
