Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

"Xiaoren master... When I was traveling before... I accidentally got a book of Tiangong blueprints with broken pages."

"It... has records about the production of crossbows..., and it has been done before... a few small crossbows for hunting."

Lu Mu stammered a little, and probably told him how to get the crossbow.

After the voice fell, it made Shu An's eyes light up. What he lacks now is this kind of person with some foundation.

He does not lack information about crossbows, because the Ministry of Industry has a lot, which may be difficult for ordinary people.

But it is not a problem for him, but even if there are blueprints, it is not that simple to learn from scratch.

After all, crossbows are relatively high-end things in this era.

Now there is only one person who has a foundation, and no doubt if what Lu Mu in front of him is telling the truth, then this job will probably fall on him.

"Arrange the position of a small team leader first. If you can do it with a crossbow machine, you will be rewarded."

A gleam of light flashed in Shu An's eyes and he said slowly, as an order to Shu Kuanghu.

"Yes, sir!"

Shu Kuanghu said without hesitation, he probably knew about some of the master's plans, and naturally knew the importance of Lu Mu.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

As for Lu Mu on the other side, he said with a hint of excitement on his face, because he knew that his chance seemed to have come.

As long as this matter is done well, then I will definitely not return to that small mountain village in the future.

As far as being a carpenter is concerned, Lu Mu is very confident that he can definitely complete it.

After Shu Kuanghu took Lu Mu away, Shu An couldn't help shaking his head, there are too many people in the world, and it's not surprising that there are all kinds of people.

Two hours later, Shu Kuanghu brought Lu Mu and his party to the academy.

It is impossible to arrange it in Chang'an, but it is still possible to arrange it in the farm.

"How is it different from our village?!"

There was a trace of astonishment on the faces of many people who followed it, and now there is only one thought in their minds.

The reason is very simple. Shu'an's farm has neat houses and clean bluestone floors, just like a small town that has shrunk.

"Sure enough, Chang'an is different."

In the end, these carpenters and craftsmen can only conclude that Chang'an is extraordinary, but what they don't know for the time being is that only Shu'an's farm is like this.

Even the farms in Chang'an may not be much better than the villages in Jiangnan.

And after eating the first meal, all the carpenters and craftsmen only had bright eyes, they had never eaten something so delicious.

"Must stay!"

For a moment, only this thought was left in everyone's mind, and Shu Kuanghu had already said it before.

If they are unqualified, they will be eliminated. Of course, Shu Kuanghu will send someone to send them back to his hometown, and he will also give them some money.

Before, many people wanted to give it a try, and they didn't necessarily have to stay, but now everyone has only this idea left.

Food is the most important thing for the people, even ordinary people know the preciousness of the food in front of them, and they are afraid that if they leave for a lifetime, they will never have the chance to eat it again.

Chapter 486 The end, benefit people's hearts

Shu An was not worried about the arrangement of the carpenter, because there were many examples before.

Now Shu'an is interested in the new storm in Chang'an, the reason is that this storm is related to the whole southwest.

Even if Li Shimin asked Baiqi to block the news, it still couldn't stop the news from being passed on.

"What, something happened in the southwest."

"Annan was originally a barren land, sending troops will undoubtedly waste money and people."

........

Similar remarks made the emperor in the court turn pale, naturally Shu An also heard about it.

"There are things that have been reminded a long time ago, but there are still some omissions that should not be done."

Shu An shook his head and murmured softly, although the price is acceptable now, it undoubtedly cast a shadow over An An'an's dispatch of troops this time.

Although Li Shimin was allowed to occupy the righteousness before, in fact, it can only deceive ordinary people.

It would be fine if Datang was able to take Annan down in one go, but now some accidents have occurred and some interested people have taken advantage of them.

Of course, it is best to keep silent on this matter, as these people don't know the role of Annan.

As long as cheap food is shipped to all parts of the world, the people all over the world will naturally think of Li Shimin well.

In fact, Li Shimin did the same thing. Although this emperor was angry, his reason was not washed away by anger.

Because even if there are any conspiracy theories, there will be no fools who will say these things in the court.

Even Wei Zheng would not be like this. If he said the reason, he would be questioning Datang, and people who didn't know would think it was Annan's spy.

If he was impeached by then, he might suffer a lot instead.

A few days passed, and the turmoil also gradually subsided, but if there were any changes in the southwest, it might not be certain.

"Before you know it, a month has passed."

Shu An in Chang'an Shu Mansion silently sighed, the three of them have been observing Li Zhi's situation for this month.

Under various diets, it is obvious that Lizhi is much more active than before.

For the time being, it can only be done like this. Obviously, this matter is a long-term matter.

Whether it is Sun Simiao or Yuan Tiangang, it is equally impossible to regard this matter as the main thing.

After all, everyone still has their own affairs to be busy. For example, Sun Simiao still has to write a book.

This time Yuan Tiangang just stopped by to visit Chang'an, but actually he was going to visit a Taoist temple.

Staying in Chang'an for one month is already the limit, Shu An naturally cannot force him to stay.

How could Li Zhi's matter should be regarded as his matter, but it seems that the two of them have made an agreement with Shu An to observe for a month every year in the future.

After discussing with each other, the two of them also gained a lot, especially this time, Shu An used a lot of brains.

He tried his best to tell all the relevant knowledge about future generations, just to help Li Zhi.

This part of knowledge amazed Sun Simiao and the others, but it was almost time for him to leave Chang'an.

But before leaving, Shu An's eyes fell on another piece of data.

This is the data about the profit from the sale of cane sugar. Although it is only one place in Chang'an, the main other places have not yet opened.

After all, it takes a lot of time to transport sucrose, but even the Changan data is very gorgeous.

"The profit is as high as [-] guan, even the Shu Mansion can share one-third of it."

Even Shu An couldn't help feeling that this was a money grab, although it was because of the first sucrose.

But it is also amazing enough. In the future, even if Changan only has half of the profits, it will be scary enough.

It just so happens that the shipyard has not yet started because of insufficient funds. It is not so easy to build a sea-going ship.

"Forget it, let's go back to the academy first and see how the crossbow is doing."

This incident didn't make Shu An think too much, but reminded of another thing.

It is said that Lu Mu has been studying crossbows crazily since he entered the academy.

For his own future, this dwarf carpenter did his best to satisfy Shu An.

Even Shu An didn't expect the crossbow machine to be made so quickly.

Now that we are back at the farm, Shu An must take a good look at it, maybe we can improve it a bit.

........

Shu An left Chang'an quietly, almost no one noticed except Baiqi.

Li Shimin in the court was a little unhappy, apparently also received information from Baiqi.

"Jun Xian, didn't I ask you to submit the information about Succo?"

Li Shimin seemed to have some displeased voices, and his words seemed to be full of dissatisfaction.

After all, it is also a kind of pain to watch others make money while you have nothing.

"Your Majesty, it may have been mixed with the information of Duke An Xuan."

Li Junxian on the side felt that he was lying on the gun, but he tried his best to explain.

Of course, as the commander of Baiqi, he still understands the mood of this majesty.

It's a pity that this matter cannot be transferred by his willpower, and he still can't help shaking his head in his heart.

"Is there any news from the Southwest?"

After getting angry, Li Shimin immediately regained his composure, and asked about another matter.

Regarding his daughter's matter, this emperor is destined to be unable to help.

Although there are many medicinal materials in the court, they are basically useless.

Li Shimin still understands the truth that the deficiency cannot be supplemented, not all medicinal materials are used.

Moreover, Shu'an itself has a lot of medicinal materials, perhaps not as many as those in the palace.

But above the quality, it is definitely not weak at all, even if it is used, it will not choose the medicinal materials of the palace.

Seeing that Li Zhi's mental state seems to be better than before, this is the happiest thing for Li Shimin all day.

As for Xiao Lizhi, although she didn't understand that her father, queen mother cared so much about her.

But this princess didn't have so many thoughts, but was very concerned.

Especially being able to eat food from Grandpa An's house every day, Li Zhi expressed that she was very happy.

After all, the cooks in the palace still learned their skills, and they must not be as good as those in the Shu Mansion.

Not to mention that there are so many people in the court, it is also not that simple to prepare.

Of course, this little princess didn't know that many of the food in it were mixed with medicine.

This suggestion came from Shu'an, if it was used directly, it would definitely arouse little Lolita's suspicions, but on the contrary, the food would not have so many suspicions.

At the same time, Li Junxian heard His Majesty's words, and his voice sounded slowly.

"Your Majesty, there is not much going on in Southwest China for the time being."

"However, General Li sent back a letter, which is said to be delivered to His Majesty."

"What letter?!"

At this moment, Li Shimin couldn't help showing a trace of doubt on his face, not knowing what Li Jing was going to do.

Chapter 487 Coincidentally, Bed Crossbow

After seeing the envelope sent back by Li Jing, Li Shimin's expression was somewhat dumbfounded.

"This should be a coincidence."

Li Shimin whispered softly, it turned out that Li Jing wrote on the envelope about Annan's layout, and finally recommended that Wang Xuance be in charge of Annan in the future.

At least half of the letter was praising Wang Xuance, and the remaining half was just laying the groundwork.

It can be said that Li Jing is very optimistic about Wang Xuance, if it is not for Shu An's disciple, then maybe he will strike.

Of course, Li Jing's analysis was based on Annan's actual situation. Winning Annan naturally does not mean that Annan will become Datang's granary.

Naturally, the emperor would not understand this point. He wanted Wang Xuance to go to Annan because he was familiar with it.

In addition, Annan is far away, and it has always been a bitterly cold place in the eyes of everyone, so naturally not many people want to go there.

Wang Xuance is the best choice, capable of writing and martial arts, and governing Annan is the best choice.

Now there is another reason, because Wang Xuance has already conquered Li Jing in Annan.

You must know that Li Jing has never recommended a person in this way. Of course, Li Shimin can see from the envelope that Li Jing is not because of any emotional factors.

Instead, he really hoped that Wang Xuance would be in charge of Annan, especially when this letter still failed to win Annan.
