According to Li Sheng's judgment of the emperor's tone.
Although this emperor is really shameless and squeezes himself so much, in general, his demands are mainly in two aspects.
On the one hand, it is to demonstrate the specific process of designing and manufacturing machines and what the standard process is, so that his subjects can follow it and learn from it.
The second aspect is that it is best to just bring out the whole shiny artifact for me and settle the matter in America at once. I can just sit in the palace with my concubine in my arms and wait for the title of the Eternal Emperor to fall.
Let’s not talk about being shameless. Li Sheng was very relieved a long time ago. How could he become the emperor if he wasn’t shameless? But as for the second point, the emperor didn’t say it clearly anyway.
Then just pretend that you don't get what the emperor wants, that's all. Just pick up a project and hand it over to him, and leave the rest to your majesty to figure out a way on your own. However, Li Sheng still feels that it's a bit inappropriate to do this.
It’s just like giving homework during the winter and summer vacations in my previous life.
The teacher asks you if you have done any exercises "because I want to improve, so I found extra exercises." You directly say that it is not the case, teacher, how do you want to do it? That is definitely unjustifiable, but it is too tiring to do it. At this time
You need to be flexible and try to find some thin booklets to complete the work.
Therefore, Li Sheng knew that he should be able to think of another project now and make a simple one for Li Er to hand over.
But as the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Li Sheng was not afraid of what the emperor would do to him, but to avoid trouble, he must have something useful.
After thinking about it, it is natural that it is a weapon.
If you hand over a weapon to Li Er, this matter should be easier to handle.
Weapons are naturally the top achievements of the manufacturing industry - whether it is in the Stone Age or the algorithm age, the technology on weapons must be the most advanced technology, after all, survival is a big deal.
But this is China after all. Although the weapons have artillery, Li Sheng has a little understanding. Recently, the weapons research institute run by Li Er near Chang'an has produced some hard goods. However, the powerful cutting-edge weapons do not mean that the overall level is really high.
.
The level of technology in the Tang Dynasty and its weapons industry can be imagined - for Li Sheng, it is not difficult to produce a whole new weapon at will. And Li Sheng thought about it.
Suddenly, Wu Meiniang, who was standing aside and yawning in a daze, asked, "Meiniang, the imperial court is facing off against the Romans recently. How are they doing it?"
Li Sheng asked so casually, Wu Meiniang was startled and started to think.
As for why Li Sheng, who was an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, didn't even know the court's current strategies, he still had to ask himself a senior maid engaged in business. Wu Meiniang had long since thought that this kind of question was not a problem - she had to pay attention to everything.
,My young master is shameless?
What happened to the great cause of your court? It's obviously not as important as my young master's mood.
However, although she was not surprised, it was not easy to react when she was suddenly asked this question. Wu Meiniang thought for a while and told her about the information she had recently gathered.
Let’s talk about intelligence.
In his previous life, Li Sheng hated all kinds of push notifications on his mobile phone. Every morning when he woke up, he would see a long list of notifications, all of which were being pushed. He could only clear them with one click and miss WeChat messages.
.
However, after traveling through time, he gradually got used to the life without mobile phones. But when it came to collecting intelligence, Li Sheng was in trouble. It was really hard not to have a mobile phone, but fortunately, there was Wu Meiniang, a humanoid mobile phone, what?
Just leave information and other matters to him and be done with it.
Regarding the recent war between the Tang Dynasty and the Romans, this is a military secret.
China has been a mixed bag of dragons and snakes since ancient times. In terms of this kind of grand strategy, although time-sensitive intelligence is difficult to obtain, information about the overall situation is very easy to obtain - maritime merchants are not vegetarians, at least at this stage.
As for Wu Meiniang, the former female president of the West Lake Industrial Zone, although Li Sheng has now retired, she still knows the news very clearly. Although she doesn’t understand what Li Sheng is suddenly going to do, she still tells Datang
The cannibalization strategy was explained.
This cannibalization strategy.
It is true that the emperor cannot announce it openly, but there are many strategic talents in China. To see this and then follow the clues to collect some information to support it, and finally verify each other to determine which information is reliable, this is really not something among the people.
Difficult matter.
After Li Sheng heard this, he nodded.
Since it is cannibalization.
"It looks like there's going to be a security war?"
Thinking of this, Li Sheng suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Public security war, isn’t this simple?
Previously, he had asked someone to send a design drawing of a musket to the court, and then had a chat with Lao Li and others. After recalling this, Li Sheng still felt that Lao Li's voice was quite similar to Li Er's - this time again.
It shows that this so-called old guy is indeed no ordinary businessman. He does have a strong connection and a clan background, but it doesn't matter.
What is said is that Li Sheng actually did not know what the imperial court wanted to do at that time. The reason why he sent the design drawing of the musket was
To put it bluntly, at that time, Li Sheng was not sure whether Li Er, the emperor, planned to continue to use him and squeeze his own value. If the emperor did not intend to use him anymore, then his situation was obvious.
As a person who has no clan background but has been granted an unusual title, this situation is obviously not safe, so of course Li Sheng has to try to hand over something like a certificate of investment, or a demonstration of value, and the final result is to send the design of the musket
In the past, it was of no use to me anyway.
But at the same time, I will give you some sweetness and give the emperor something to do, so that this guy will not have trouble.
It stands to reason that in the ancient world, muskets were the number one weapon in law and order warfare, and it could even be said that.
Combined with grenades, this thing can directly open the era of special operations.
Special operations are different from the ancient small elite raids. Raid attacks like Huo Qubing's are actually normal battle operations, but special operations are a specialized subject in the military field.
Raid can be to attack the weak points of the opponent's military deployment, but special operations are different. This thing only targets high-value targets - the opponent's food and grass, the opponent's ammunition and fuel, and the opponent's commander's tent!
Although the army in this era has no need for oil and only has some ammunition storage, it does not prevent special operations from being able to shine in this era. Of course, this has to be thought of by Li Er's group.
