Thinking that steam engines could still be used on land, Li Er felt it was too cruel.
Not to mention other things, with its huge size, if you just drive past it without doing anything, you will be invincible - and this time it is truly invincible. Li Er knows with great certainty that there is absolutely no army in the world that can defeat the enemy.
This kind of competition!
Not to mention competing, if you can't help but feel weak after a face-to-face confrontation, then you are already a "husband in the world", absolutely no joke.
This thing...
Li Er wondered why it would take more than ten or twenty years to complete it, right? But now it has been completed...
At the moment when Li Er and others were inexplicably shocked, several concubines of Li Sheng noticed this. Dan Qing came over quickly, lifted Li Sheng up and took him to rest, while Li Er and others were in Mian'er,
Accompanied by Wu Meiniang, she also went to the guest room.
It was getting late that day, and it was a place like Qiongzhou Island - located at the southernmost tip of China, too far away from Chang'an. It was impossible to go back in a hurry, not to mention that Li Er and others were drunk, so naturally
Stay first.
The next day...
Li Sheng was still sleeping soundly without caring. After all, Li Er and others were old acquaintances. Li Sheng estimated that these guys would also have a good sleep, so he told Dan Qing not to wake up early.
However, when Li Shengzhen woke up naturally, he was told that Lao Li and others had already left.
These old guys...
He came suddenly, he was drunk, and his whereabouts were also elusive. He slipped away without even saying hello, and Li Sheng couldn't help but feel unhappy.
Mu De, after all, I gave these old guys a lot of business opportunities for free, and they were all big business opportunities. I didn't expect to be so rude.
But think about it...
Li Sheng turned his head and looked at Dan Qing, who was standing beside him, and said, "... Well, tell me what the wine these guys brought this time is like?"
"Okay, Sir, the one I sent you this time is a hundred years old..."
Li Sheng listened for a while and nodded.
They are all hundred-year-old wine... This made Li Sheng very convinced. Although he only knew that these guys, Lao Li and Lao Wei, were merchants from Chang'an and had done shipbuilding business before, now he was very convinced that these guys
The old guy must also be in the wine-making business, otherwise he wouldn't be able to bring this kind of treasure that's over a hundred years old every time he comes...
After hearing Danqing report the name of the dish for a long time, Li Shengcai felt a little more relaxed and thought it was not bad...
These old guys used to be wine merchants, and now it's reasonable to switch to industry. It is estimated that they may engage in methanol or something in the future... And after they have been engaged in industry for a long time, they may be able to switch to winemaking in the future... Not to mention
We can make Datang’s Moutai brand, make some Wuliangye... or Lafite, that would be quite delicious...
Thinking about it this way, Li Sheng couldn't help but feel that things were really unpredictable. He had mixed up and became a liquor dealer. It could be said that he was the same as his good brother Gatsby many years later...
And while Li Sheng was living leisurely in the company of his beautiful concubine, on the other side...
On the Forbidden Army's exclusive warship leaving Qiongzhou, Li Er had a serious look on his face.
The decoration of this warship is no different from an ordinary merchant ship, and it is even specially decorated to give the old ship a unique sense of antiquity. But in fact, there are not even a single merchant on board, only more than a hundred
Heavily armed Imperial Guard soldiers.
The cabin Li Er was in was also strictly isolated at the moment, like the territory of an evil dragon, and it was quiet.
In the cabin, Li Er was thinking... There were three ministers standing in front of him. It was Wei Zheng and others who had accompanied him to Qiongzhou Island to visit His Royal Highness the Grand Prince Li Sheng.
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling looked extremely serious at the moment, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Although Li Er didn't speak for a long time, the three of them still exchanged glances from time to time...
Obviously, the reason why Li Er summoned everyone at this moment is extremely important.
And then, as expected...
Li Er took a deep breath and raised his eyes to look at the three courtiers, "What do you think this steam car looks like? How much effect can it have with the Forbidden Army in the future?"
Li Er's expression was quite solemn. Obviously, there is no doubt that a thing born for military purposes... its value will always be based on that standard.
——Can it enable the army to win the war? If not, it is meaningless.
Of course, this standard is not so absolute and simple. Everything depends on cost-effectiveness. But cost-effectiveness, after all, this is the standard for evaluating general military supplies.
But this car is different, because this thing... is a major change related to the future basic shape of the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army.
If it is really awesome, then the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty may abolish the cavalry establishment in the future - this is the Tang Dynasty, not the industrial society of later generations!
It is extremely natural to have no cavalry. But in this era, if you want to abolish the cavalry... it is almost equivalent to letting the imperial army go out and run naked.
That's right, how dare the Forbidden Army go out to fight without cavalry? It's no different from running naked, and they will be beaten by other people's cavalry troops in minutes. But...
If this steam car can really be completed - there is no doubt about this at present. Since Li Sheng said it will be done soon, it should really be done. It is estimated that Lingzhou College and Li Sheng are almost connected.
At present, Li Er and others also know that Li Sheng currently cooperates with the college or the research institute in the West Lake Industrial Zone to develop things. Li Sheng usually does the overall design and is responsible for key parts, and the rest is left to ordinary college professors.
But in addition to whether it can be done and when it will be done, there is another question, which is whether the effect of this thing is that amazing.
If there is no improvement in the strength of the Forbidden Army, then this huge cost... At present, the entire project is still part of the imperial court as in the past, and Li Sheng will invest part of it as a shareholder of the West Lake Industrial Zone. If the combat effectiveness is not strong, then this money
It’s hard to bear the flowers…
When Li Er asked this question, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others on the side began to look at each other, and then they all looked embarrassed.
When Li Er saw the expressions on everyone's faces, he immediately sighed secretly in his heart.
It seems that things are still hard to tell... This makes Li Er feel a little bad. This steam car must not stretch your hips...
Thinking of this, Li Er took a deep breath,
"Forget it, if I ask you now, you can't tell. Anyway, none of us have seen the true appearance of this steam car. Let me take a look... or wait for a while and wait for Lingzhou to report that the thing has been built, then we can
Let me know. Then you guys will go with me to Lingzhou!"
"Going to Lingzhou?"
Wei Zheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Er to take this matter so seriously, because this steam vehicle is a new armament. What Li Er said obviously meant that he wanted to personally test the combat effectiveness of this steam vehicle. This was obviously not something that could be done in a day or two.
