"The whole army selects heroes over eight feet tall, wearing double black armor and face armor. Equipped with a one-meter-long heavy sword, each with a mule and horse. The Modao team is an elite heavy army. One is to resist the heavy cavalry of the Yuan army to break the formation, and the other is to break the enemy's formation!" Li Luo said.

Cui Xiuning didn't understand the Modao team very well, but she knew that the Modao team had very high requirements for the physical conditions of the soldiers. Even if the entire army chose, it was estimated that at most thousands of people could only be selected.

After watching the firearm gunpowder, Li Luo went to watch the Xuanjia Workshop again.

The Craftsmanship Department is now the largest institution in the Tang Dynasty except the army. After several years of development, it has more than 3,000 craftsmen and more than 5,000 work slaves. The Craftsmanship Department has a staff of 8,000 people.

This was a great financial pressure for the Tang State, which had a population of only 1.3 million. If the Tang army had not launched foreign wars for years, the expenses of the craftsmanship could have devoured all the treasury income of the Tang State.

However, although the craftsmanship department has a huge expense, it has included all military weapons such as firearms, gunpowder, swords and guns, bows and crossbows, stone cannons, armor, feather arrows, warships, and chariots.

There are thousands of craftsmen responsible for making armor alone, and more than one thousand slaves to fight. Nowadays, more than 3,000 pairs of new black armor can be produced every month. As of now, the Craftsmanship Department has made more than 50,000 pairs of black armor in the past few years, and nearly one-third of the Tang army has been equipped with new black armor.

This made the Xuan Armor surpass Yuan Armor, Song Armor, Sun Armor, Yue Armor, and Goryeo Armor, becoming the most equipped armor in the Tang army.

But, not enough!

Li Luo came to the sultry Xuanjia Workshop. At first glance, there were sparks from iron bombs everywhere, as well as bare-backed craftsmen and slaves.

The jingling sounds were heard, extremely lively.

When Gu Kai saw Li Luo coming, he immediately led a large number of craftsmen to kneel down to greet him.

"I, please pay homage to the lord! Please pay homage to the lady!"

The Tang Dynasty implemented the integration of officials. Even the lowest-level craftsman Ding and other craftsmen were also engaged in the tenth-rank official who was paid by salary, which was only one level lower than the tenth-rank village chief. When the A-level craftsman was already a seventh-rank official, he was a county magistrate. If he became the chief officer of the Craftsman Department, he would be even a fifth-rank official.

What motivates craftsmen to make progress is this craftsmen hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarchical hierarch

Moreover, Cui Xiuning specifically stipulates that there are only two standards for promotion for all craftsmen: technology and invention.

No matter how popular you are, you will be able to curry favor with others. Without technology or invention, you will never be able to get promoted. As long as you are skilled or have inventions, even if you are honest and dull, no one can stop your promotion.

How could there be no spies in such an important place in the craftsmanship? Talents will not be buried.

When Li Luo saw the craftsman who was kneeling all over the ground, he smiled and said, "Get up, you have worked hard all the time." Then he sent an order to reward all the craftsmen of the craftsmanship office with one pound of ice.

Gu Kai knew that Li Luo was concerned about armor and took the initiative to report: "Your Majesty, by next month, the monthly armor production can exceed 4,000. The vest can exceed 1,000."

After Li Luo calculated that according to this progress, he would be able to add more than 20,000 black armor in half a year, and the vest could also be armed with heavy riders.

"Okay, Gu Qing, you did a good job. Do it well! I once again said that there are still several places to be awarded titles in the Craftsmanship Department."

The craftsmen were all very surprised when they heard this.

A title!

Currently, Gu Kai has only been the man in the craftsmanship department. Now that the emperor has spoken, they have a chance.

Li Luo took out a drawing and handed it to Gu Kai, "This is Mo Dao. Within half a year, three thousand handles need to be created!"

Gu Kai took it and looked at it, saying, "This shape weighs at least thirty kilograms. But... Master, I forgive my ministers for saying that this knife is not a magic knife."

Not Mo Dao? Li Luo frowned. He had seen Mo Dao on the Internet in later generations, and was drawn entirely based on the appearance of the Internet. Isn't it?

"Gu Qing knows Mo Dao? Then tell me, what does Mo Dao look like."

Gu Kai said: "Your Majesty, the Mo Dao is not a double-edged, nor has this width. It is a thick-backed single-edged slender sword body. In addition to slashing, it can also assassinate the armor-breaking."

Gu Kai said as he drew a knife on the ground. Li Luo was stunned when he saw it.

This is so much like a Japanese sword!

However, the handle of the knife is several times longer than that of the Japanese knife, and the blade body is also slightly longer.

Could it be that the Japanese sword developed based on the Mo sword? It is very likely.

Gu Kai continued to explain: "The good teacher knows that the Mo Dao is just a long-handled narrow sword, not a wide sword, and the weight is only fifteen or sixteen pounds. However, the Mo Dao is extremely sharp, so every time you slash, you can lose both people and horses. Every time you use it a few times, you have to forge it again and open a new blade."

I see!

Li Luo understood, "Then it is built according to the shape you said." Of course, he must respect professional opinions.

"No!" Gu Kai took the order.

Next, Li Luo went to see the newly completed Yanhuang Emperor Palace and personally sacrificed his sacrifices.

The Yanhuang Emperor Palace is not only a ancestral temple in China, but also an imperial temple. It is sacrificed by the king, minister and people.

In addition to worshiping the two emperors of Yan and Huang, there were also 17 emperors who were granted the sacrifices of Yao, Shun and Yu, Shang Tang, Zhou Wen, Shihuang, Han Gao, Han Wen, Han Wu, Han Xuan, Guangwu, Sui Wen, Tang Gaozu, Tang Taizong, Tang Gaozong, Tang Xuanzong, and Tang Yizong.

The other sixteen emperors who were worthy of the Yanhuang Emperor Palace had brilliant achievements, at least they all had more achievements than demerits and more reputation than destruction. Only the last Emperor Yizong of Tang seemed out of place.

Compared with other emperors, Emperor Yizong of Tang was completely ineligible to enjoy the Yanhuang Emperor Palace.

So, why did Emperor Yizong of Tang actually enter the Yanhuang Emperor Palace?

It is no surprise to the subjects of the Tang Dynasty.

On the contrary, it was strange that Emperor Yizong of Tang did not enter the Yanhuang Palace.

Because the king is a direct descendant of Emperor Yizong of Tang. This is obviously a favoritism. Zheng Sixiao originally wanted to advise Li Luo that the Yanhuang Emperor Palace was the Huaxia Gong Temple, so that Emperor Yizong of Tang should not be allowed to enter the temple to enjoy it, so as not to be dissatisfied by the people in the world.

But Zheng Sixiao's advice was stopped by Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang’s reason is only one word: filial piety.

That's right. Emperor Yizong of Tang was not qualified. It was indeed the selfishness of the emperor who let him enter the temple, but it was also the source of filial piety. Who made him the closest emperor among the emperor's direct ancestors?

Since ancient times, the ruler's approach to governing the world with filial piety has not been wrong. Instead, it can demonstrate the identity of descendants of the Tang Dynasty. Why should we oppose it?

When Zheng Sixiao heard the word "filial piety", he was speechless and could only cancel the plan to give advice.

The Heavenly Master of Yanhuang Emperor Palace turned out to be Xu Gui, the Princess of Japan.

Because Xu Gui was interested in the Taoist scriptures, he begged Cui Xiuning to enter the Yanhuang Emperor Palace to be a Taoist. Cui Xiuning gave her the title of Tianshi and was named the fifth-rank Taoist official.

The Sigong Dazhenren of the Yanhuang Emperor Palace is still empty now, and Xu Yan is the highest-ranking Taoist official for the time being. So when he heard Li Luo coming to Yanhuang Emperor Palace, Xu Yan quickly led seven or eight new Taoist priests to greet him.

"My minister Xu Jing, I have met you!" Xu Jing and others bowed together.

Li Luo laughed and said, "Get up, I've become a Taoist official, but I'm still adapting?"

Xu Yan was wearing a Taoist robe and a high crown on his head, and his complexion was better than before.

"I have come to you, and I have been more at ease in managing the rituals of the imperial palace every day and studying Taoist classics."

Li Luo nodded, "Then I will feel relieved. I have promised your uncle to take care of you. In this way, it is considered that I have not broken my promise."

Xu Yan bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Please, please, please, please!"

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning came to the front of the hall, cleaned their hands and washed their faces, took off their hats and entered. First, they knelt down to worship the statues of the two emperors of Yan and Huang in the center of the hall, burned incense and prayed, and then went to the side hall to worship the seventeen emperors who were worthy of the enjoyment.

After leaving the Yanhuang Palace, Li Luo did not forget to go to the production departments such as the Fisheries Department, Weaving Department, Salt Field, Sugar Department, etc. Seeing a large number of sea fish, cloth, oceans, and sugar, Li Luo felt very at ease.

Finally, Li Luo went to Haidong Hospital again.

On the way, Cui Xiuning said: "There are more than 500 doctors in Haidong Hospital, but they are still very busy every day. I plan to establish another branch in the south to facilitate the treatment of the people in other counties. Then, I will set up another medical school to train doctors."

Li Luo said: "Okay. You decide these. Well, the medical school does need to do it, otherwise once Jiangnan is restored, there will be no more doctors and not enough military doctors."

Haidong Hospital is located in Luoning City, and the two arrived soon.

"County Lord, the Lord and Mrs. are here in the hospital!" Li Yuan, who had been promoted to hospital chief, immediately put down the medical certificate at hand and took people out to greet him when he heard the report.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Li Yuan bowed to the two of them, but he didn't have to bow. The doctor behind him knelt all over the ground.

Li Luo looked at Li Yuan, who was wearing a white dress and smiled and said, "I heard from your sister-in-law that you are busy every day, but you have to combine work and rest."

Li Yuan felt warm in his heart, "Brother Xie, I understand."

Today, Haidong Hospital is already a large courtyard covering an area of ​​seven or eight acres, but it is full of people. Many people from the nine counties of the Tang Dynasty came here to treat diseases. How could there be few people?

The doctors in the Tang Dynasty all wore white robes and long skirts, cotton socks and silk shoes, net scarves, and green gourds embroidered on their chests, meaning "hanging pots to save the world". This outfit is both distinctive and Chinese.

Due to the adoption of many future management, Haidong Hospital is definitely the most advanced, largest and most complete medical hall in the world. Even the Imperial Hospital in Yuanting did not have so many doctors.

Li Luo told Li Yuan not to speak out, so as not to disturb the patient, so that so many patients would drag their bodies to kneel down and worship him.

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning came to Li Yuan's study and smelled a faint smell of herbs at the end of their noses, which made them feel very familiar.

"Does any patient give money to the doctor?" Li Luo asked suddenly as soon as he sat down.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "How dare they? The patients who gave money were treated as crimes of harming the doctor, and those who received money were treated as bribery. At the end of last year, a doctor received ten taels of silver, and was reported by the copper gui on the third day. The patients who harmed the doctor and the doctor who received bribes all suffered great trouble."

Cui Xiuning said: "I know this. The doctor was kicked out of the hospital and will never be hired. The patient sent was a village chief, and he was dismissed from office and will never be hired. Everyone in Haidong knows this."

Li Luo nodded, "That's what we have to do. Those who dare to collect money will be severely punished, and those who dare to give money will be severely punished."

Li Yuan said: "Brother, the last time there was a patient who had inflammation and had high fever. The doctor had no choice but to use penicillin. However, that person was allergic to his sister-in-law. After using it, he died."

"What's next?" When Li Luo heard about this, why didn't he care?

Li Yuan said: "The family members came to ask for an explanation, saying that the doctor had cured the person and had to compensate for the burning of silver and funeral expenses of 20 taels. Later, I told the family that penicillin is also toxic and has risks. The previous use of medicine was also approved by their consent. But the family members still sued the doctor who used the medicine to the county magistrate's office."

"Of course, the county magistrate's yamen did not accept the case, so he transferred it to Luoning Dharma Hall. The Dharma Hall rejected the man and he gave up."

Li Luo's face looked very bad.

Later generations of medical disputes were very frequent, and many of them were not without reason. Hospitals could not say that they must be rudely without responsibility.

But it doesn't work now.

Because Haidong Hospital is an official hospital in the Tang Dynasty, it is even considered a yamen. A patient's family makes a fuss about it unreasonably, which hurts the majesty of the court.
