Dear friends!



Regarding the proposal of using prisoners of war for road construction and similar large-scale construction work, the civil servants and generals surrounding Li Shimin had obviously different opinions.

The attitude of the generals headed by Cheng Yaojin was naturally supportive. After all, it was impossible to kill all the prisoners of war after they were obtained. But if they were not killed, they could not be released. Keeping them in prison not only required human supervision but also wasted food. In fact,

It's a big loss.

If it can be used in road construction and large-scale construction work, it can prevent these guys from causing problems if they are kept in prison for a long time, and can also solve the problem of insufficient labor. And as someone said, as long as these guys are not allowed to

People starve to death, and under intense physical labor, these prisoners of war will no longer have any energy to cause trouble. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone.

However, a group of civil servants led by Changsun Wuji held objections to this proposal. In their eyes, the Tang Dynasty was a celestial dynasty that could fight with the enemy on the battlefield, and even kill enemies when necessary.

It is possible to exterminate clans and massacre cities. But forcing prisoners of war to work as laborers is really an insult to the face of the higher country.

Regarding the different opinions among these ministers, Li Shimin, as the king of a country, did not immediately give his opinion. Instead, he dismissed the topic without comment.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing I would like to ask you, the real person." Seeing that the question could only be left alone for the time being, Cheng Yaojin, who glared at Changsun Wuji and the others, spoke again.

"Zhijie, if you have anything to ask, just ask, I believe the real person will not refuse." At this time, Li Shimin also discovered that the material of the container was very good, and said with a smile.

"Tch, how do you know I won't refuse?" Looking at the other party's casual look, Li Anran couldn't help but think: "It's a good thing I didn't plan to enter the system. Otherwise, if things are like this now, wouldn't I really have to be like someone in the future?

I'm being squeezed by you Tu tribe every day." However, even though he thought so, he still looked very generous on the surface and said: "General Cheng, it doesn't matter."

"Master, since you can bring this kind of grain from the upper world, I wonder if you can bring more of this high-quality steel material?" Cheng Yaojin said, patting the container next to him.

"Good steel?" Li Anran, whose eyes fell on the container, shook his head with a smile and said: "General Cheng, the materials used in these containers are not considered to be good steel. Of course, for you, it is not.

It is enough. In this way, if the Holy One needs it, I can provide some. However, I think it is more reasonable to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish."

"It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish?" Li Shimin quickly figured out what the two "fish" were. After chewing carefully, his eyes lit up and he said: "Good, this is a great thing to say."

"Zhenren, do you mean to teach us how to make steel?" Changsun Wuji, who also reacted, asked.

"Changsun Shangshu, please don't doubt my intentions. I have the method of steel-making. Although due to the restrictions of the laws of heaven in the two realms, I cannot teach a better method of steel-making, but I can improve the steel-making technology of the Tang Dynasty.

That's enough." Li Anran looked at the other party jokingly and said with a smile.

"Uh..." Changsun Wuji, who knew that he had stood up to look for trouble several times and was still noticed by the other party, felt a little regretful for a moment. After all, offending an immortal from the upper world was a real move.

That's quite unwise.

But when I think that the Changsun family and Li Shimin are already grasshoppers on the same rope, and they have been instructed before, so I can only admit this regret with pinched noses.

At this time, Li Shimin also picked up the topic casually to dispel the awkwardness in the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Oh? Then I wonder how the master plans to teach it?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that your Majesty and a group of ministers should have visited the Gewu Academy. Since knowledge is to be imparted, it naturally has to be in the academy. In addition to enlightenment, among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, among the other three industry academies,

There will be some teachings in the city." Li Anran withdrew his joking eyes and explained with a smile.

"Master, will the skills of driving this wooden cow and flowing horse be taught in the academy?" Cheng Yaojin, who stood aside and still didn't forget what he was thinking, asked quickly.

"Of course." Li Anran, who knew what the other party was planning, shrugged and said.

After getting this affirmative answer, Cheng Yaojin deliberately asked the other party if he could accompany the army when there was a war. This would also help him solve the logistical problems, and even if he could use some magic to defeat the enemy.

But when I thought about how involved this matter was, I swallowed the words again.

A group of civil servants, headed by Changsun Wuji, all felt a bit like a waste of resources for imparting this knowledge in such a good academy. Fortunately, these people also knew that a country is indeed far away from home.

The three industries of agriculture, industry and commerce are not open, and a person's identity and ability are there, so even if there is some dissatisfaction, no one is stupid enough to raise it at this time.

After feeling that the atmosphere was a little unusual, Li Shimin stayed here for one night and did not mention the matter of joining the court as an official to anyone. He just praised this selfless dedication and then drove back to the palace.

.However, before leaving, I did not forget to ask someone to pack up the contents of the two wooden cows and take them away together.

Regarding this kind of behavior of eating my food, drinking my food, and packing it before leaving, Li Anran, who had some unexpected gains in the previous meditation, not only did not feel unhappy at all, but also hoped that the other party would take more.

The better.

After sending off the large group of people headed by Li Shimin, Li Anran did not stay at the barracks any longer. Instead, he returned to Xiaoyao Villa with his hands waving, and then asked Cheng Chusi and his gang to protect the hospital and go to the barracks.

I took the remaining spinning machine and loom parts back to the villa and put them away.

It’s not that Li Shimin didn’t want to bring these things back, it was mainly because no one would use them even if he brought them back. Moreover, the new spinning machines, spinning machines, looms and silk looms are very important to the existing ones.

The impact and impact the cloth industry will have is still unknown at the moment, so it is better to leave it behind and talk about it later.

Ignoring the impact that his official meeting with Li Shimin and other historical figures would have this time, Li Anran found Zhou Carpenter and the others after returning to the villa, and then printed out nnn pictures with specific corpses and details.

With the parts drawings in the figure, let them try to make a new set of spinning machines and looms.

Then Butler Wang issued a new recruitment message in the villa, and the current recruitment target was for female compatriots with certain weaving experience. Of course, if you are clever enough, you should also apply. As for

In terms of treatment, after having been together for so long, no banker is aware of the generosity of this young master, so people who sign up are quite enthusiastic.

In just one morning, the entire Xiaoyao Villa was able to gather thirty qualified girls, wives, children's mothers, and even grandmother-level manpower.

After learning that his young master was going to teach people how to use a new machine, Butler Wang immediately tidied up a large yard.

After Li Anran directed the servants in the yard to successfully assemble the boxes of parts according to the drawings and videos, he called the applicants to the yard and began to teach in the open air.

Due to the detailed pictures and videos, except for the strong fear caused by the unknown of clear pictures and videos at the beginning, which made Li Anran spend some time to appease him, the class was barely smooth. However,

After finishing the class, Li Anran decisively gave up the idea of ​​experiencing what it was like to be a teacher again.

Instead, after letting these big girls, young wives, and children's mothers and grandmothers go back to review first, they called Xiangyun and Su Xiaomei's two personal maids, Qingwen and Xiangling, in front of them alone, and had a one-on-one conversation.

Two counseling.

The previous experience of studying with Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun directly made the learning progress and acceptance ability of these two personal maids much better than those of the female workers who applied for the job.

With just one morning of theoretical teaching and one afternoon of hands-on practice, Xiangling and Qingwen initially mastered the technology of using spinning machines and looms.

Even though the mastery of this skill is still very unfamiliar, it is already a good start for Li Anran. All that is left is to keep practicing, and I believe that the proficiency of the skill will naturally improve quickly. (To be continued.

.)
