Chapter three hundred and eighty third teachings, awards(1/2)
Seeing Yang Fan's happy expression, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
He nodded happily, feeling more optimistic about it than before.
Not surprisingly, this kid will definitely become a rising political star in the future of the empire.
Anyway, this guy is about to become his son-in-law, and His Majesty Li Er is happy to see it happen.
Just now I was really worried that Yang Fan was too ambitious because of his youth and would be dissatisfied with his reward.
Obviously, although this guy is usually silly and arrogant, he still sees some things in the officialdom very clearly, and his hard work is not in vain.
Wang Huangui secretly paid attention to His Majesty Li Er's every move from time to time. When he saw that gratifying smile, he was immediately surprised.
When facing young people, His Majesty Li Er always takes them seriously no matter when and where they are.
What's more, this is the Tai Chi Hall where business is being discussed. This emperor has always been serious about his words and smiles. When has he ever smiled so happily?
You must know that you are facing a young man!
Even the most favored son-in-law, the eldest grandson, has never received such affirmation from His Majesty Li Er.
I couldn't help but feel a little more respect for this loyal and loyal man who was famous all over the world.
Not just anyone can win the respect of this wise and mighty emperor, but the loyal and righteous Marquis must be the first.
As for Yang Fan, he actually doesn't value official position or title that much.
The reason why I want power and status is just to do something meaningful for this era while ensuring my own safety.
Power and status can bring him a lot of convenience in overcoming obstacles, but they can also make many people jealous.
As his official position gets higher and his behavior becomes so different, he will make more and more enemies and become more powerful.
The purpose of asking for the Ryukyu Islands is just in case of emergency.
Looking up at His Majesty Li Er, Yang Fan once again cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to present!"
"Oh? What's the matter?" His Majesty Li Er was a little surprised.
In addition to urgent and top-secret memorials, memorials from ministers must be reviewed by the three provinces before being transferred to him, the emperor.
Nowadays, Yang Fan goes directly to Datian, which is somewhat against the rules.
However, His Majesty Li Er still put away his smile and nodded calmly.
If he were not in a good mood, and if the person who presented the memorial was not Yang Fan, His Majesty Li Er would definitely ask the person who presented the memorial to come up according to the procedure.
Of course, Yang Fan knew that his behavior was a bit over the top, but he did not explain it. He took a few steps forward and carefully handed over the memorial in his arms.
This was written by Yang Fan after detailed discussions with Wu Meiniang in Junyangfang.
It mainly describes the detailed process of how to defeat the Tubo Wolf Cavalry, as well as the problems and opinions discovered during this expedition to Tibet.
More importantly, it contains detailed records of the manufacturing methods of flint guns and thunderbolts.
There is no way, if Yang Fan does not take the initiative to report, His Majesty Li Er will still be wary even if he trusts him again.
After all, the flint gun and the thunderous thunder are weapons that transcend the recognition of the times.
Seeing Yang Fan being so cautious, His Majesty Li Er calmed down.
After receiving the memorial, he asked Wang Huangui to move a chair next to him, motioned for Yang Fan to sit down, then spread the memorial on the desk and read it attentively.
After Wang Huangui moved the chair, he brought a tea cup to Yang Fan and placed it in front of him. Yang Fan remained silent and nodded with a smile in thanks.
Nowadays, chairs and tea have become standard equipment in all yamen of Chang'an City, large and small, and in the palace.
In the past, only important ministers and the elderly were qualified to sit on the bench. Nowadays, chairs have great advantages. They are not only convenient, but also very practical, so they have quickly become popular.
Anyway, there is no technical content in this thing, so the Ministry of Industry just does it.
Of course, both of these things were copied from Yang Fan.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as copyright or patent these days, otherwise you would definitely be able to make a lot of money.
As for tea, it has now become a must-have for entertaining guests in Guanzhong. This change has greatly increased the demand for fried tea.
Nowadays, countless merchants and tea growers are eyeing the field of fried tea, and competition is becoming increasingly fierce.
After all, the technique of frying tea is not difficult, but for a while it is still not as good as the quality of Junyangfang’s fried tea.
Yang Fan was not polite, picked up the tea cup and took a sip gently. It was fresh and long-lasting in the throat, with an aftertaste in the mouth. It was special Longjing tea, and the price of this tea was extremely expensive.
Needless to say, it was the kind that Junyangfang served exclusively without paying. The emperor always only ate without vomiting, which was no different from a glutton, which made Yang Fan feel a little distressed.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was watching intently, and of course he had no idea what Yang Fan was thinking.
However, even if he knew, he was in no mood to blame Yang Fan anymore.
Because His Majesty Li Er was attracted by the content of the memorial.
The memorial is divided into three parts.
The first part narrates the major and minor battles that the Supervisory Operations Department faced against Tubo, as well as the casualties, and even the detailed process of using flint guns and thunder to face Tubo wolf cavalry.
After that, Yang Fan commented on the advantages and disadvantages exposed in this battle, and he wrote tens of thousands of words.
It is better to say that it is a memorial than a summary of the supervision of operations using a new weapon such as the flint gun.
The second part is a "Medical Guide for Marching Wounded Soldiers"...
This made His Majesty Li Er a little confused.
As a general, he just summarizes the battle. Treating the wounded soldiers is the duty of the army doctor. What does it have to do with you, Yang Fan?
But when His Majesty Li Er took a closer look, he couldn't help but admire Yang Fan's good intentions, and even expressed his admiration.
As an emperor with a military background, Li Shimin certainly knew that when marching and fighting, a large part of the soldiers did not actually die in battle.
Due to poor medical standards and lack of timely treatment, a large number of injured people did not receive effective treatment, which led to heavy casualties.
This battle report contains detailed examples of a large number of cases, as well as a series of opinions and measures on the reform of the injury camp.
The most refreshing thing is that Yang Fan actually suggested adding a "nurse" link to the wounded barracks and cultivating exclusive doctors in the military.
After careful consideration, there are all good words and advice. If they can be strictly implemented by every guard, it will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes in the combat effectiveness of the army.
Li Er raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Fan, who was sipping tea from a teacup. His Majesty Li Er felt even more appreciative.
This guy went on an expedition for the first time. Not only was he able to observe the shortcomings in the army, but he was also able to propose solutions. He really lived up to his praise of "the talents of the prime minister and the assistant are not enough to judge".
When His Majesty Li Er saw the third part, he was completely shocked. It not only recorded in detail the manufacturing method of the flint gun, but also the formula proportions of Hongtianlei.
It is impossible for His Majesty Li Er not to be greedy for these weapons.
After all, this is a weapon that can defeat one against a hundred. It is the most powerful way to deal with foreign cavalry!
As long as these sharp weapons are in hand, Datang will no longer be afraid of those people who live on horseback.
If there is such a weapon, it will definitely have unexpected effects in the future Eastern Conquest of Goguryeo.
Li Er no longer has to worry that he will make the same mistake as Emperor Sui Yang.
Originally, this kind of sharp weapon was made by Yang Fan himself, so he could not steal it blatantly.
Now that Yang Fan was so knowledgeable and took the initiative to offer it, all doubts in Li Shimin's mind suddenly disappeared.
No wonder this guy wants to avoid the review of the three provinces and file alone.
If the manufacturing method of "Firegun and Thunderbolt" were leaked, the world would be in chaos!
Although His Majesty Li Er believes that the officials of the three provincial departments are loyal to him.
Once the interests of these officials' families conflict with the empire, who knows what will happen.
You can feel at ease only if you have such a murderous weapon in your own hands.
But when His Majesty Li Er saw the complicated manufacturing process of the flint gun, he was a little dumbfounded.
Because the required craftsmanship is so high!
The steel used not only needs to be resistant to high temperatures, but also has extremely strong hardness and ductility, which is simply higher than the manufacturing process requirements of Mo Dao.
Immediately, I felt a little relieved. If the power of these weapons is really that great, no matter how difficult it is to make, it is worth it.
No wonder a bastard like Yang Fan was able to kill tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry with just a few hundred men.
Maybe others don't know how powerful the Tubo Wolf Cavalry is and they often clash with the Tubo, but His Majesty Li Er knows it very well!
The Wolf Cavalry was selected from thousands of Tubo cavalry as the most powerful unit to protect Tubo Zampu!
It is simply incredible that tens of thousands of people were defeated so easily by Yang Fan.
Taking a peek at the whole picture, you can see the power of these two weapons.
Apart from being shocked, His Majesty Li Er also felt lucky that after all, he would be able to master such a sharp weapon in the future.
Achieving the hegemony of one emperor through the ages will no longer be a thousand obstacles, and it will no longer be a mirror image.
If you expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty to an unprecedented level, and improve the people's lives to an unprecedented level of prosperity.
Even if he kills his brother and imprisons his father, even if he seizes his sister-in-law, who dares to say that he is wrong, and who dares not to recognize his status as the emperor through the ages?
Li Er's thoughts are a little far away!
