Although Li Shimin and his group of ancients have never thought of making the sand table more refined, it does not mean that they cannot understand the combination of the new sand table and the military chess that Li Anran just described.

Of great use.

Just for fun, when it comes to training new generals, ancient times are completely incomparable with modern time and space. If you want to train a famous general who can't just talk about war on paper, in addition to reading more military books, you also need a lot of training.

Practice through actual combat.

But the problem is, let’s not talk about whether there are so many battles for you to fight. Even if there are, who is willing to hand over an army or even the future of a country to the hands of a military "chu brother"?

The risk is so great that no one dares to take it.

As for the method of starting from a low level with the army, it has been around since ancient times. However, this approach is too slow for cultivating famous generals. Moreover, if you are not careful, talents who are likely to become famous generals will die midway.

.

But if the new sandbox and military chess that Li Anran said can really be made, even if Li Shimin and others are still unable to imagine the detailed settings of such games in later generations, they also know that even if the final effect can only be half, then

Enough.

"Listening to what the real person said, it turns out that the sand table can be of such great use." Li Shimin, who had already imagined all the possibilities, couldn't help but poke at the sand table in front of him, and his expectations for the new sand table became more and more intense.

Become urgent.

As for Cheng Yaojin and the others, although they insisted on Li Shimin's identity and did not say anything, the eyes of everyone looking at Li Anran and Shapan shone brightly. It is estimated that if Li Shimin had not been present and Li Anran's identity was also relatively special, it would have been a long time ago.

Take action.

In fact, Li Anran can also say something more valuable, such as the suggestion that a military academy can be established and then use the new sand table and generals and even veterans who have been fighting for many years to cultivate a new generation of military talents.

It's a pity that although Li Anran still has no intention to attack Datang after weighing it up. But considering that he still has to develop in this time and space, if Datang develops too much, wouldn't it be like shooting himself in the foot?

, so I didn’t say anything.

If Cheng Yaojin and the others hadn't been a little surprised by the appearance of a sandbox in the Tang Dynasty, Li Anran wouldn't have even planned to tell anyone about the new sandbox or military chess.

Anyway, the Tang Dynasty was already powerful in history, otherwise it would not have brought about the Zhenguan era. What's more, the Tang Dynasty is already stronger than it was in history. The huge improvements in agriculture alone are enough.

Changing directions to support a more powerful military force. Even if these are not mentioned, it will not have any adverse impact on the development of the Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, everything has been said, and there is no point in regretting it. In addition, Li Anran originally planned to throw out some good things appropriately and continue to maintain a good relationship between himself and Datang. Of course, if this relationship can go further

That's even better.

Therefore, after watching the famous generals headed by Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin looking at him with longing eyes, Li Anran did not hide it, but continued: "Actually, this sand table is not just

It can limit wartime needs."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Li Shimin, who was still eager for someone to bring out the new sandbox, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and reluctantly

He asked calmly.

"Shengzhi, although the sand table can be used for virtual deductions, in fact, it has many uses. For example, when the Ministry of Industry builds and maintains cities, traffic arteries, rivers, etc., with this sand table, there are many uses

It’s easy to have an intuitive understanding.”

"At that time, whether it is repairing or transforming a certain place, or making subsequent plans for the entire city, roads, and rivers, wouldn't it be more convenient than relying on so-called data in the past? At the same time, it will not be

It’s easy to make mistakes.”

At first, I really didn’t expect that something like the sand table, which had always been used only in the military, could have any other uses. But after hearing what he just said, the eyes of Li Shimin and a group of famous historical generals suddenly became brighter.

As the old saying goes, it is easy to conquer the world but difficult to defend it.

Although Li Shimin has already sat on the throne of the Tang Dynasty, and after a series of decrees and various arrangements after taking the throne, the throne has become more and more secure, but as an emperor, he still has a headache in building the Tang Dynasty.

.

But according to what Li Anran just said, a city and a river can be planned with a sand table, but what about a continent? What about a road? Even the entire Tang Dynasty can also be planned with a sand table.

planning?

By then, won't we no longer have to worry about not knowing the situation below? Once something goes wrong, we only need to conduct deductions based on intelligence on the corresponding sandbox, and won't we be able to figure out the real situation on the ground?

Reduce the behavior of lying and concealing reports?

Once war breaks out again, wouldn't it be better to be able to strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away?

Thinking of this, the way Li Shimin looked at someone became even more "wrong".

"Master, I wonder what kind of sandbox you are talking about? Can you..." Although he didn't finish his words, the meaning of Li Shimin's words was clear at a glance. Cheng Yaojin and others on the side also had expressions on their faces.

Looking at someone expectantly.

Facing this group of pure men, Li Anran was really a little uneasy when he looked like a gray wolf when he saw Pleasant Goat. There was nothing he could do about it. This feeling of being surrounded by "wolves" was so erotic that it really made people uncomfortable.

There's a creepy feeling.

"Your Majesty, I don't have enough on hand to make the kind of sand table in the upper world, so I can't make it." Li Anran spread his hands and said with a look of regret.

"This..." Faced with such an answer, the expressions of all the ancients, including Li Shimin, suddenly collapsed in unison.

Seeing that a group of famous generals of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty were being "molested" by him, Li Anran, who had satisfied his own bad taste, said: "However, although I can't make that kind of sand table, I can.

Use some existing things to make a simplified version."

"Great Kindness! Master, if you need anything, just say it, I will give you everything!" Li Shimin, who had just been thrown from heaven to hell, and now saw hope of returning to the world, hurriedly patted his chest and said.

Li Anran, who originally planned to throw this bait out in exchange for some benefits, clasped his hands and pointed and said: "We don't need anything special, just some sand and soil that are the same as in the sand table, some wood, some thatch, other than that.

In addition, bring some water. By the way, if you have cement, you can also use some, and if you have a carving knife, you can also use it."

Li Shimin, who originally thought he needed something extraordinary, saw that they were just ordinary items. Although he was confused, he didn't ask any more questions. With a wave of his hand, he handed the matter over to Cheng Yaojin, the master of the house.

Already.

I have to admit that the efficiency of the big family in doing things is really not impressive. Not long after the work was handed over, all the things Li Anran wanted were delivered to this room.

After everything arrived, Li Anran was not polite and flattened all the original sand tables. Then he recalled the topography from his villa to the south gate of Chang'an City in his mind, and it took a while before he started to move.

Come on.

With the original sand table as the base, Li Anran easily shaped the general appearance of Chang'an City, Xiaoyao Villa, Commercial Street, and Gewu Academy with the help of clear water and sand, and even pulled out the river bed.

.

After having a rough outline in the sand table, Li Anran took out the fine grass that was obviously just picked, and laid out the woods, grassland and other environments in his memory. Although the materials were relatively simple, the effect was still the same.

It's clear at a glance.

In addition, Li Anran also used a carving knife to roughly carve the wood that was delivered a few times, then cut it out and put it on the sand table. Although it was only a rough carving, Li Shimin and the others could still see it at a glance.

There are pavilions, pavilions, bridges, houses and other buildings.

After working for more than two quarters of an hour, after Li Anran carefully poured water into several riverbeds solidified with cement, a local topographic map of Chang'an City that was countless times more refined and accurate than the sand table just now was created.
