Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Li Shimin was laughing that Li You missed his point.

What he is excited about now is the issue of price, it is clearly the output of refined iron in Hexi.

You must know that it will be more than a month before Li You goes to Hexi for the second time.

If these horseshoes are all produced in Hexi, then it can be estimated that the output of refined iron in Hexi is an exaggerated figure.

Just like what Li You said just now, a horse has four horseshoes, which together weigh one catty.

Then the 2 Youwuwei army is [-] refined iron.

20 catties of refined iron in a month is [-] a year, which is almost five or six times the total output of Datang.

And this is the amount of refined iron.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin became even more excited.

His voice was trembling with excitement: "You'er, can your workshop in Hexi produce weapons?"

Li You was taken aback for a moment, and then understood.

He shook his head and said, "No."

"why!"

Faced with Li You's sudden refusal, Li Shimin was a little surprised.

Although Li Shimin didn't know if it was difficult to make a horseshoe, it must be iron.

Although the weapon has some more processes than ordinary ironware, Li Shimin was a little surprised that Li You answered so decisively that it was no good.

Then Li You said solemnly: "Father, my son does not have the permission to produce weapons, so how dare he forge weapons without permission."

【Hmph, I really didn't make weapons. All I produce over there are parts now. I have produced a lot of parts that haven't been assembled. 】

[Besides, a lot of production capacity has been used to make horseshoes recently, and I probably haven't made many weapon parts. 】

【Although they are guarding two mines, manpower and production capacity are still limited after all. 】

These words made Li Shimin's mood go up and down like a roller coaster ride.

Fortunately, in the end, his mood stopped at a high place.

Li Shimin said with great joy: "It turns out that this is the case. The license to produce weapons is not easy."

"I'll let Wei Wei Siqing Tang Jian come over later, just tell him if there's anything I need to tell him."

"Horseshoes are slowly being built, and the most urgent task now is to create a batch of sophisticated weapons."

"Mo Dao, do you know?"

Li Shimin asked with a guilty conscience.

Speaking of which, Li Shimin stole Mo Dao's drawings from Li You.

Although Tang Jian created a Mo Dao that shocked the government and the public, this incident was only known to those present at the time.

As for Li You, he was not there at the time.

Hearing Mo Dao, Li You also nodded excitedly.

[Wow, unexpectedly, Li Er really already knew about this. 】

[Isn't this thing going to wait for a few years before it appears? It seems that I still think of Li Er simply. 】

[This Mo Dao must have been designed a long time ago, but it is only because of the current steel production that it has not been equipped to the army for a long time. 】

[That's right, after the Tang Dynasty passed through Zhenguan, productivity was restored, steel production increased, and the Modao Army also came out. 】

[I remember that in the future, Pei Xingjian's troops will be equipped with Modao, but it will only be a matter of decades. 】

Hearing Li You explain the matter in his heart, Li Shimin didn't bother much, and said, "When Tang Jian comes over later, I will ask him to bring the blueprint along with him."

"During this period of time, first forge [-] Mo knives, and I will organize an army of Mo knives."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin looked at the sky longingly. At this moment, the illustrations of the book appeared in front of Li Shimin's eyes again. He seemed to have seen the scene where the Modao Army was invincible on the battlefield.

After recovering, Li Shimin said again: "You'er doesn't know yet, you Uncle Chai, you're not satisfied after beating Tuyuhun, and you've already set your sights on Liang Shidu again."

"I have already approved his memorial, and it is estimated that the battle against Liang Shidu will start in a month or two."

"When the time comes, it's time for you, the Modao Army, to show your might."

"This time, your Uncle Chai also brought Su Dingfang and Wang Xuance with you, and I will let them lead the Modao Army when the time comes!"

Li You cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Father, for giving them the opportunity, they will definitely not disappoint Father's expectations."

Although Li You was respectful on the surface, he was also proud in his heart.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li You's mental system space quickly found information related to this battle.

[Hey, it's just a Liang Shidu, and it's not just a matter of pinching the troops from the Tang Dynasty. 】

[This battle can not only recover Shuofang, but also severely damage the Turkic reinforcements. 】

[I really admire Jieli Khan. Turks are already in chaos now, but he still brought people to this muddy water. 】

[No, the troops arrived early, but the supplies behind were caught in heavy snow, and countless cattle and horses froze to death. 】

[And even if your troops arrive in time, are you really Uncle Chai's opponent? 】

[In the end, not only did Liang Shidu not be saved, but it also exacerbated the defeat of the Turks. 】

In fact, Li Shimin is also very confident about this battle.

But he didn't expect that the outcome of this battle was already doomed in Li You's heart.

It sounds like Chai Shao's army can easily win.

As a result, another fire ignited in Li Shimin's heart.

He asked a little excitedly: "You'er, do you also think that Tang will win this battle?"

"Then what do you think, after this battle, I will let you Uncle Chai continue to pursue the victory and attack the Turkic Grassland?"

In Li Shimin's view, since Chai Shao was able to severely injure Jieli Khan in Shuofang, it is also possible to enter the Turkic grassland.

In the case of Turkic civil strife, let Chai Shao's elite cavalry chase after Jieli Khan's king's account, maybe he can really take down his old enemy in one fell swoop.

In addition, Tuli Khan had the intention of surrendering before, and Li Shimin felt that as long as Jieli Khan's king's account could be destroyed, the Eastern Turks would no longer be able to pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's question now seems to be asking Li You, but it is actually to strengthen his inner thoughts.

Hearing this question, Li You was going to nod immediately and agree.

But at the last moment of nodding, he held back.

Li You put away the previous relaxation, and said in a deep voice: "Father, I am afraid that I will not be able to say something about such a big matter as attacking the Turks."

Li Shimin thought that Li You's old problem was repeated, and said with a smile: "If there is anything wrong with it, it's okay to say it if you have any ideas. How could I care about a child."

At this moment, Li You's thoughts were also spinning rapidly in his mind. When Li Shimin asked this question at first, he still subconsciously refused to answer.

But after Li Shimin asked, he suddenly thought of something.

Just as he knew that Chai Shao's attack on the Liang division would definitely win, Li You also knew that Datang's attack on the Turks would definitely win.

Although in history this battle took place in the third year of Zhenguan, that is, one year later.

But because of the appearance of Li You, Datang's current comprehensive national strength has already surpassed that of Datang a year later in history.

And because of the trade with the Turks, the situation on the grassland is unprecedentedly familiar, and there are countless experienced guides.

With the support of a series of elite weapons such as horseshoes and Mo knives, it should be no problem for the Datang army to sweep the Turkic grasslands a year in advance.

But even after confirming this point, Li You still felt that there was something wrong.

Finally, after some hard thinking on his part, the answer appeared.
