Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

In less than a few steps, Shu An's figure came to this venue, with a hint of curiosity on his face.

The reason is very simple, that is, this time it seems that it is not what he imagined.

At first he thought that it was that Lu Mu who made it again, but it was not the case, Lu Mu is now hanging on the sidelines dejectedly.

Instead, the focus of the crowd was on another middle-aged man, whom Shu An vaguely remembered was Wu San.

"Master is here."

"Quickly take a seat."

.....

Shu An's arrival was also seen by these carpenters, and they couldn't help but panic for a while.

These carpenters are not Xiaobai when they first came here. They know that this master is the world-famous Duke Anxuan.

Among them, they have also seen a lot of the lives of those farmers in the farm, and many of them even secretly made up their minds to follow this master.

Even if it is to set up a household in the farm, it is a pity that it is not so easy. I can only sigh why I did not meet An Xuangong.

Now for the sake of Shu'an and to motivate these carpenters, he has made a lot of promises.

Whether it is money or the allocation of houses for them to settle down, these carpenters are enough to move their hearts.

It's a pity that this matter is destined to only a few people, because there are not many vacant houses.

At least these carpenters don't think everyone can have this qualification.

Naturally, they worked harder, but unfortunately these carpenters were destined not to represent Shu An's thoughts.

When Shu An came near the bed crossbow, he saw at a glance that it was similar to the shape of the design drawing he gave.

"How about the power?!"

Shu An said softly, he naturally didn't expect to achieve the power he expected from the beginning.

"Master, the crossbow is about [-]% more powerful than before."

Wu San spoke respectfully beside Shu An, apparently already prepared.

"Yes, you deserve the reward. If you have a wife and children, you can come to Chang'an."

Shu An said with a gentle expression, apparently he didn't mind rewarding the carpenter in front of him.

No matter what method he uses, as long as he does it, he should be rewarded, so it is also appropriate to set an example.

After the demonstration was over, Shu An's people also left, and the current bed crossbow was not powerful enough.

There is still room for improvement, and it is enough to explain the tasks of the next stage.

And with Shu An's departure, Wu San also became the focus among the carpenters.

The addition of Shu An's promise on top of the original reward made these carpenters look envious.

Lu Mu, who was one step ahead before, was completely marginalized. It can be said that Feng Shui took turns.

Chapter 498 Team, do things

Although Shu An didn't continue to ask about the carpenter on the surface, when he returned to the academy, he asked his guards.

Shu An thought that the little Lu Mu should be the first to make the bed crossbow.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Lu Mu has an absolute advantage, but he didn't expect Wu San to succeed.

"Master, it's mainly because this Wu Mu is familiar with several carpenters and formed a team."

A guard told the truth, which made Shu An suddenly realize.

It turned out that it wasn't just one person's strength, it was Shu An who made these people compete with each other before.

They didn't stop these people from cooperating, mainly because Shu An respected the problems of this era.

All family inheritance needs to be respected, even carpenters have their own inheritance.

So Shu An didn't let these people cooperate, but it seemed that some people still knew how to adapt.

This is not bad, the strength of a team is naturally much more than that of a single person.

It is also easier to make a bed crossbow with brainstorming.

"Master, this Wu San has distributed all the money to the people in his team, and he is the only one left to stay in the farm."

Another guard spoke out, obviously not coming back immediately, but staying to see Wu San's plan.

After hearing this, Shu An nodded, obviously approving of Wu San's actions.

Needless to say, this team must be Wu San's first idea, otherwise it would not have been launched.

If you don't want to reward now, you don't need money. Obviously, you just grasped the final reward distribution.

It can be said that this person is a talent, but Shu An's complexion has some expectations for the choice of these carpenters.

Now that the first team has enjoyed the sweetness, does it mean that there will be a second team next.

If interests come first, Shu An is still interested in how these people will choose.

Shu An is not opposed to competition. Only with competition can there be vitality. On the contrary, if there is no competition, it will be a stagnant pool.

Although the bed crossbow was made, in fact Shu An was considering sending people to start building the ship.

You must know that during the period of time about the shipbuilders, Shu An recruited a lot of people, and Li Shimin couldn't hinder his face, so he also recruited a lot of people.

In this way, Shu An can be regarded as gathering the crew for the shipbuilding, and more experiments will be done next.

It's a pity that shipbuilding is a bottomless pit no matter whether it is invested in later generations or in this era. Seeing this emperor get rich, even Shu An is a little bit moved.

Just yesterday, the emperor paid back all the money he owed, feeling very wealthy.

Although most of the money went into the national treasury, a lot of money still went into Li Shimin's pocket.

Not to mention that the part of selling grain is basically in the hands of Li Shimin, so there is no need to say more about the benefits.

In fact, there were still some people who knew about it, but whether it was Changsun Wuji or Du Ruhui, they didn't dare to intervene in the food matter because of the sucrose matter.

Others also had various reasons. For example, Fang Xuanling did not dare to rob His Majesty.

So in the end Li Shimin succeeded and gained another wave, but Shu An's envy was only for a while.

Because he also has a lot of property, and a caravan leading to the Western Regions.

Speaking of this caravan, if you count the time, it should be almost time to return.

There are climate and environmental problems in the Western Regions, but it is a big trouble that hinders traffic, which makes it take a year or two, or even longer, to go back and forth.

It took Zhang Qian many years to return from his mission to the Western Regions, but it also opened the way for the road to the Western Regions.

At this time, the number of caravans is also quite large, but there are also many risks due to environmental problems.

However, every journey is destined to be a contest of life and death. If you get lost in the desert, or encounter weather similar to sandstorms, you will never return.

Shu An also wrote down all the points he needs to pay attention to about the deserts of later generations, and the rest depends on luck.

Compared with later generations conquering the desert with strength, this era requires a little bit of luck.

Other than that, we need the help of some barbarians from the Western Regions. We have basically done everything we can, and the previous caravans have returned safely.

Shu An asked the caravan to put safety first, and to abandon the goods if necessary.

Although there are some unreasonable things in this era, after all, human life is not valuable, but Shu An's concept is like this.

There is no need to worry about the source of money, but even Shu An can't help but want to save some money, just in case it will be used at any time.

"I just don't know when the system's tasks will be completed."

Of course, what Shu An is most worried about now is about the mission of the sages, and there are not many opportunities to gain reputation obviously.

Like Annan this time, don't think he is planning secretly, but these plans can't be revealed.

"Otherwise do another wave of things?!"

Shu An thought silently, it seems that there are not many things he can do, but if his reputation does not advance, he will retreat.

For example, if he hasn't shown up for a long time, the system shows that his reputation has dropped a lot.

Even Shu An is a little helpless, and now he seems to be in a situation where he can't advance or retreat.

This sage task is one step away, and Shu An also has an idea in his heart.

Traveling through the first life, although he didn't sit on the throne, being a sage is not too much.

After thinking of this, Shu An's eyes made a decision, that is to gain another wave of reputation, and this time use the map of the world in front of him.

Anyway, Annan has already taken it down, so the rest will not happen overnight. Even if this map is leaked now, it is not a big deal.

...

"Do you know how big the world is?!"

I don't know when a question arises in Chang'an, and it just so happens that everyone's answers are different.

"Isn't the Tang Dynasty the only one in the world?"

"No, besides the Great Tang, there are many other places."

.....

There were discussions one after another, and everyone had different opinions, which suddenly became a hot topic in Chang'an.

While there was a lot of discussion, a rumor about Duke Anxuan spread quietly.

Legend has it that Duke Anxuan spent decades drawing up a map called Tianxia.

All of a sudden, many scholars in Chang'an showed a little interest on their faces, because they knew that this was not An Xuangong's answer.

"Mr. Anxuan is not so easy to meet."

"Why don't I wait and sign and send someone as a representative to ask to see Duke Anxuan?"

......

These scholars seemed to be guided by some forces, and quickly came up with a method.

Chapter 499 Shaking Chang'an, ambition

Li Shimin in the court was full of doubts at this time, not knowing where the source of this incident came from.

The scene of the question and answer about the world had a deep impression on his mind, otherwise Li Shimin would not have made up his mind to take down Annan.

Of course, if Li Shimin were to choose again, then he would definitely not have the hesitation he had at the beginning.

The current Datang is still very weak, but it is more than enough to take down Annan. Undoubtedly, Annan is a piece of fat.

A piece of fat for Datang's recovery, historically Li Shimin did not do it due to moral and other reasons.

But Shu An, who came from later generations, has no idea of ​​peaceful development. If he wants to strengthen himself, the current Datang can only take the road of plunder.

It just so happened that there were quite a few foreign races around, and this kind of road was also the most suitable for Datang in this period.

"Did someone accidentally leak it?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but murmured softly in his heart, not many people know the things in this world.

If it is leaked out, then maybe the whole story about Annan will be exposed. Although this emperor is no longer afraid of rumors, he still doesn't want to look bad.

For a while, the emperor also began to suspect, but even Li Shimin did not expect that the person he was least likely to suspect was the mastermind.

There is absolutely no doubt about Shu An, an emperor, because it was created by Yafu.

Of course, it is also possible that it was leaked when it was accidentally said, and of course Baiqi did not find the source of the rumor.

It looked as if it had naturally fermented. The main reason was that Shu An's team hid too deeply.

Even Baiqi didn't realize that there was an organization not inferior to him under his nose.

Moreover, Shu'an's intelligence network is only in Chang'an, on the contrary, Baiqi has already begun to extend out.

This is unprecedented in history, but it also proves that this emperor is not only satisfied with the eyes and ears in Chang'an.

He also wants to know about things in other parts of the world. In the final analysis, there are more reasons for Shu'an.

With the help of Shu An, Li Shimin got a lot of money, so naturally he had money to invest in Baiqi.

Otherwise, there may be such an idea in history, but it is right not to have that kind of financial resources.
