Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"And your Sikong position is what you deserve."

"Gao Shilian didn't understand military strategy, so he appointed you as the right servant."

"As for Li Qiu's matter, I have my own arrangements."

"For a young man like him, it's better to beat and temper more."

"Otherwise, if you look at him, he will already have such military achievements and prestige before he was born."

"In the long run, it may not be a bad thing to let him suffer more at this time."

"Also, as I remember, Keming's eldest son, Du Gou, is now serving as Li Qiu's governor, right?"

"I don't know how he's doing?"

"Can it be reused by the court?"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling thought about it seriously, and then said: "Report to Your Majesty."

"Du Gou is now in Li Qiu's fief, serving as governor of Cangzhou."

"In terms of ability, he is an absolute leader among the children of these ministers."

"It also has the legacy of his father the most."

"In the short few years since he took office, he has achieved several praiseworthy achievements."

"First, he led the army and ships to suppress bandits in Cangzhou, Laizhou and other waters many times."

"Quite a battle."

"Secondly, they brought the common people and fishermen by the sea to catch the needle beam fish, and then sold them through the channel of Furong Restaurant."

"The common people have made a lot of money, and they have directly turned Cangzhou into a richer state capital."

"The third is more important."

"Under Li Qiu's order, he has been building a dock to build a huge ship that can sail on the sea."

"Listening to Tang Jian's daily discussions, the achievements in this area are also quite outstanding."

"So, this Du structure can definitely be reused by the imperial court."

"It's just that there are still several years before the completion of his work, and Li Qiu may not be willing to let him go."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but frowned helplessly.

"If you talk about Li Qiu's other advantages, I think it's average."

"Only when it comes to robbing talents, this kid has sharp eyes and quick hands."

"Hey, in my Tang Dynasty, there are still very few talents like this."

"Hearing what you said, I really want to transfer Du Gou back to my side."

"Maybe on him, I can often see Keming's shadow."

Chapter 988 Mass production and assembly of matchlock guns

After negotiating with Li Shimin to no avail, Fang Xuanling became more and more anxious.

In the political affairs hall, he did not know how many times he sighed with Tang Jian and blamed himself.

"Oh, little Tang."

"How did you say that this matter has come to this point?"

"At the beginning, His Majesty was repeatedly angry because of me."

"It took time and time to attract such severe punishment."

"But in the end, it turned out that Li Qiu was the one who caused him to lose his official position."

"So what if this calls me, how can I feel at ease?"

"During this time, I didn't even dare to meet Chai Shao and the others."

"Simply ashamed to see people!"

Tang Jian knew Fang Xuanling too well.

Seeing him like this is also a hasty consolation.

"Oh, my lord."

"You see that you are worrying too much, don't you?"

"Let me tell you, ever since he was dismissed from the position of Right Servant, Li Qiu is indescribably contented and happy."

"It just so happens that there aren't too many things to do today, so you and I will go to his Hibiscus Garden to see how happy he is."

"Sometimes, even I am a little envious of him."

"I can't wait to spend time with him at home!"

In fact, what Tang Jian said was only half right.

After resigning from office, Li Qiu felt extremely at ease.

This young man has to get up in the early morning every morning and go to the morning court, which is simply abuse.

However, after being free, Li Qiu became busier than before.

After a year of continuous hard research, and the cheating of the firearm technology that Li Qiu exchanged from the system.

A technical team headed by master craftsmen such as Li Chunfeng, Zhang Yajiu, Gongshuyang, and Gongshumo.

Finally, the matchlock gun and the red cannon were developed.

It has reached the industrial level that can be mass-produced.

After that, Li Qiu was not idle either.

Then began the next phase of busy.

On one side, it is Li Chunfeng, Zhang Yajiu and others who perfected the technology.

Then, with all the craftsmen, they began to try to mass-produce these firearms.

On the other side, Li Qiu also transferred Gao Kan and Xue Rengui and other absolute confidants back to Furong Garden.

The dark secret begins to screen and try out the Musketeers.

Now that we have firearms, it's okay if no one knows how to use them.

According to Li Qiu's plan.

He initially had to train a musketeer team of 1000 people.

Only in this way can the power of the matchlock gun be initially exerted.

But now in the Furong Garden, there are more than 2000 elite soldiers gathered.

It is still too simple to screen out the best and most trustworthy soldiers.

Of course, the difficulty of training soldiers is still great.

The detonation of the gunpowder and the movement of the matchlock gun are really not small.

Only relying on the fact that the Furong Garden is outside the city, and the huge and spacious basement, can it be barely concealed.

But this condition can only satisfy thirty or fifty people to train at the same time.

As for the experiment of the red cannon, don't even think about it.

This condition can never be met in Furong Garden.

Li Qiu had to think of another way to deal with this matter.

……

And as time passed day by day.

There is only one month left until the New Year's Eve.

At this time, officials, gentry and gentry from all over the world came to visit with rich gifts.

There was no indifference due to Li Qiu's resignation.

Nowadays, in the entire Tang Dynasty, no one thinks that Li Qiu's status is low and vulgar.

On the contrary, I feel that Furong Garden is noble and proud.

Li Qiu, king of Peiping, is an existence that they can't reach.

Of course, among these people who came to visit, they also had their own different purposes.

Like many officials in it, on the one hand, it is to thank Li Qiu and Furongyuan for their rescue from this year's flood.

On the other hand, it is also to come in advance to burn incense and worship Buddha.

I hope that next spring's cultivation will be convenient in the Furong Garden.

Although now Li Qiu is no longer the right servant of the court.

But who doesn't know that this matter of spring plowing is still firmly in the hands of Li Qiu and Youzhou?

Before the crown prince's East Palace challenged Chun Geng and Furong Garden, everyone was really shocked.

I just hope that our highness, the crown prince, will stop making any fools in next year's spring plowing.

In the end, only the state capitals will be damaged.

And like those gentry and gentry, they are purely for making friends.

It's best to ask for some good tea to go back.

In the previous flood and Furongyuan grudge incident.

The supply and marketing of tea in the entire Furong Garden was interrupted.

This also makes it difficult to find a cup of tea in the market.

Famous good tea is even harder to find.

Money can't buy it.

Although the supply of tea has been gradually restored, there is still a huge gap in the market.

So if they can get some tea from the Furong Garden, they will be able to show off and live comfortably this New Year's Eve.

For people like them, Li Qiu was quite helpless.

There are just too many people.

And most of them have deep human feelings in them.

In the past few years, it has been the catalysis of the position of Shangshu Youpushe.

And under the deliberate promotion of warriors Xun, Chai Shao and others, Li Qiu's network is getting wider and wider.

There are generals in the army, civil servants in the court, and state officials from all over the country.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

Everyone came here with sincerity, and Li Qiu could only treat each other warmly and sincerely.

Therefore, he can only hand over the development of firearms and the training of the Musketeers to the subordinates.

Fortunately, with Luo Kexin, a commander-level virtuous wife, there is no problem.

Compared to the bustling crowds on the Furong Garden side, Hou Junji's Duke's Mansion was unusually deserted.

In previous years, when he was in the prime of his career.

Especially when he had been Minister of the Ministry of Officials for more than a year.

Before the new year's day, there are countless officials who come to visit.

It is no worse than today's Furong Garden.

But now, he has grown from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the meritorious general of the court, and the celebrity in the eyes of His Majesty.

He became a prisoner, criticized by his officials, and neglected by His Majesty, a bereaved dog.

Naturally, no one wants to get too close to him.
