    "The deterrent effect has been achieved, and Goguryeo will withdraw its troops in advance."

    "So, Yu Chigong will be back in about two months."

    "However, after Goguryeo has gunpowder, I don't know what will be done. I don't know what kind of weapons will be modified after watching our exercise this time. Therefore, Goguryeo cannot stay!"  As he spoke, Lao Li gritted his teeth and a chill shot out of his eyes, causing the temperature in the carriage box to suddenly drop by ten degrees.

    Li Xiaogong and Cheng Laoguo nodded, agreeing with this matter.  Everyone has this awareness.

    Lao Li paused for a moment and then said: "Without knowing the enemy's situation, we should be prepared to make weapons that can suppress the enemy. I am very satisfied with the gunpowder displayed this time. We should consider using it.  Weapons like this are used in the army!"

    Old man Cheng nodded, but Li Xiaogong remained silent.

    The difference in their attitudes lies in their relationship with Lao Li.

    With these artillery, the army's combat effectiveness and destructive power have become stronger.  But can all armies have it?  ?  Every prince has a fiefdom and an army.  The one who often rebelled was the idle prince.  Wouldn't adding more combat power to these rebellious princes make the consequences of their rebellion more serious?

    Li Xiaogong is a figure who is like a king. Although he voluntarily gives up power now, in his later years, he was recruited by Li Chengqian to become the supervisor of the spy academy, and he also gained extraordinary power.  Not to mention this, let's talk about his prestige in the royal family.  In the army, he is still quite high among the officials.  Comparatively, half of this country was conquered by him.  So he has to avoid suspicion even more.

    "Xiao Gong. Why don't you speak?" Lao Li thought Li Xiaogong was easy to bully, so he avoided suspicion.  Instead, I came to ask him.

    Li Xiaogong clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I believe that the current production capacity of the Gunpowder Bureau is not very high, so the artillery should not be deployed too widely or too early. I suggest that you use it when it is needed. Wherever you need to fight, use the artillery.  Send it to the soldiers who want to fight, and then take it back after the battle is over.¡±

    The key point of this method is.  The army cannot have artillery. Only when it is needed, someone will send it.  Who sends it?  Of course, Lao Li has the final say.  So Lao Li has the final say on artillery.  Take it back, or come back and let Lao Li manage it.  Therefore, artillery was directly under the control of the emperor, Lao Li.  All power was concentrated on Lao Li.

    Old man Cheng understood when he saw Li Xiaogong didn't nod.

    After hearing his words, I understood what he meant even more.

    So, in order to make up for his mistake, he embodied Li Xiaogong's words: "It's a good idea. You can establish an army in Chang'an. It will specialize in the use of artillery. When a war needs to be fought, your Majesty will approve how many people to go and how many artillery to bring."  .After the war, this artillery force will return to Chang'an. Bring back as many cannons as you have left!"

    This way, it is stipulated that this cannon cannot be placed casually in the hands of ordinary troops during war.  Instead, it was controlled by Chang'an's army, and they went with the men and artillery.  After the fight, come back with the men and the cannon.  During this process.  Maybe ordinary soldiers fighting on the front line couldn't even touch a cannon.

    In this way, the control of artillery has become stricter.

    Lao Li also quickly understood the meaning behind this.  So he nodded happily:

    "Okay, after we get back, plan carefully and implement it as soon as possible!"

    To plan the establishment of an artillery corps, the premise is of course that the Gunpowder Bureau must develop a production business from a research business.  And this task fell to Li Chengqian and Cheng Laohuo.

    ¡°Alas, it was just for fun, but it ended up causing so many things.

    In this luxurious carriage, an emperor, a prince, a prince, and a super businessman held a complicated meeting.

    First, they commended the meritorious ministers, then they set a century-old plan, then they planned to destroy the powerful enemy Goguryeo, and then they built the army.  These few things were said in a few simple and rough words, but when they spread to the imperial court, all the ministers and the grassroots were busy with the matter for several years.

    The honor guard returned to the palace and the palace banquet began.

    In addition to eating, of course there are other things to do at this palace banquet.

    And after the big drama, there also needs to be a little aftertaste of the climax so that people can reflect on it.

    Therefore, Li Chengqian and Cheng Laoguo, as the organizers of this exercise, have done such a good job in the exercise, of course they need to be rewarded and praised.

    Before the palace banquet started, Lao Li issued an imperial decree and rewarded Li Chengqian with a large amount of gold and silver. At that time, he also awarded Furong Garden to Li Chengqian.

    Hearing this reward, Li Cheng??Shocked.

    He doesn¡¯t care about money or anything like that now.  Treat money like dirt?  Just like him.

    ????????????????????????????????? Well, he is a hands-off shopkeeper. Usually when he sees money, he just sees a number on the ledger, and he rarely touches how much it is.

    And what shocked him was Furong Garden.

    He visited this place once last time when he was at the Organization Agricultural College. It was really his father¡¯s big place, located in the southeast corner of Chang¡¯an City.  The four average workshops in Chang'an are all smaller than there.  There is a large lake in Furong Garden, and there are several palaces built beside the lake.  There are so few palaces, probably to preserve the scenery of Furong Lake.  It was really a huge surprise that such a large and beautiful place was given to Li Chengqian.

    Can good things be pushed out? No.  So Li Chengqian smiled and accepted it.

    Fatty Li Tai, who was also at the banquet, looked at Li Chengqian with some jealousy.  As an eldest brother, Li Chengqian must act like an eldest brother. He walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Brother, come and play in eldest brother's hibiscus garden when you have time!"

    In history, when the crown prince lost power, King Wei Li Tai fought for favor, and was favored by Li Shimin. He earned tens of thousands of dollars a month, and Furong Garden was also given to Li Tai by Li Shimin.  Furong Garden was the palace of the Sui Dynasty.  The residence is thirty hectares, and the circumference is seventeen miles.  Li Tai built a embankment on Furong Lake and became the famous Furong Embankment. Many poets recited poems and composed poems here, leaving a lot of fame in history.

    Li Chengqian, who is historically illiterate, does not know this period of history. If he knew it, he would be delighted.  But Li Tai didn't know that Furong Garden belonged to him.  If he knew it, he would be pissed to death.

    After the banquet, Li Chengqian went to Xichiyuan with the good news.

    But when we arrived at Xichiyuan, we found that there was no one there.  I heard from the maids who stayed behind that they all went to the Xiande Hall.

    The Xiande Hall is the administrative hall of the East Palace. The East Palace handles political affairs and major events are there. It is equivalent to the Taiji Palace in the early morning dynasty of the Taiji Palace.

    What are you doing there?  Li Chengqian was surprised, and even the pregnant woman went there. Was he trying to rebel, or was something serious going on?
