????????? "Let me pay for the armor for Wang Xuance? Why? Are they not soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but my private soldiers!"
??????????? Li Tai couldn't help but start to recite the letters he sent by Li Shimin.
Bai He, who was beside him, heard Li Tai’s complaint and said, “King of Wei, do you need me to write a letter to the court?”
????????? "Don't write first, don't write first!" Li Tai looked at Bai He and was about to start writing, but stopped Bai He and thought for a while,
????????? "You wrote back and said, can the court send technicians to build an ironworks and teach armor forging techniques.
??????????? If possible, I will pay the fee.
?????????? At the same time, the imperial court can also send Shaofu Supervisor and the people who are the Supervisor to enter this armor factory to supervise.
??????????? After all, I understand that private individuals are not allowed to cast armor, but I can accept cooperation with the court to prevent the loss of armor.
???????????? In addition, the court can also put forward some surveillance constraints. In short, Luoyang needs an arsenal to cast weapons."
?????????? "Oh!" Bai He heard Li Tai's words and felt that Li Tai's proposal might not agree, but he still wrote it honestly.
?????????? After all, it’s okay that other soldiers always have weapons. Because they are always equipped with soldiers, there are handicraft workshops around the government and state prefecture.
?????????? But the imperial court has always been strict in controlling bows and crossbows and armor. If he wants to build an iron smelting factory in Luoyang, even if the imperial court sends people to supervise the construction, he may not be willing to give the King of Wei to control it.
In hands.
???????? "By the way, you add a sentence on it, my financial management can be limited by the scope of my own.
????????? Build this ironworks for forging armor. Within my range, the cost of armor can be reduced by two floors!"
When Bai He heard this, she polished it and added this sentence.
After writing the letter, Li Tai sent someone to deliver the letter.
To be honest, for Li Tai, it was a loss to pay directly and then give the court's generals to the production of armor.
?????????? After all, the Tang Dynasty did not have the saying of production lines. They either paid taxes or purchased directly from raw materials and materials.
????????? But it is different for Li Tai. He already has a very complete coal system and even looks for iron ore to produce iron tools. He just doesn’t have the production technology of armor.
?????????? So if the court is willing to give it the corresponding qualification, then it can suppress the efficiency and cost of the armor to an unimaginable level, but it lacks the qualification to cast armor. If you don’t say hello,
Doing so would be a complete rebellion.
???????? To be honest, Li Tai also knew that he would follow the court to slowly grind him, and the court would definitely be polished down by him in the end.
??????????? But in this way, it is not certain when Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui can use this batch of equipment.
????????? But Li Tai knew very well that it was the tenth year of Zhenguan now. Next year, the eleventh year of Zhenguan, and the twelve years after that, the confrontation between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty should be around eleventh year to twelve years.
, I must deliver this batch of equipment to Xue Rengui as soon as possible.
????????? To be honest, Li Tai didn't know how useful his armor was to the so-called adaptive army.
???????? But at least I knew that in ancient times, if there were equipment to fight unequipped enemies, I could basically crush them.
?????????? Even if you have internal energy and talent in this era, you will die if you are killed!
?????????? So Li Tai directly gave Li Shimin that as long as he allowed himself to build an arsenal, he could build the ironworks that made armor in Luoyang alone, and the cost could be greatly reduced.
???????? Of course, Li Tai did not directly submit this to the court for management, mainly because he was afraid that if the court changed to an outsider, it would cause unnecessary fluctuations in his supply chain system, so he would deal with it himself.
It's a headache to get up.
????????? So I won’t mention it anymore, and it is enough to let the court send people to inspect directly.
????????? Anyway, even if they want to check the accounts and want to make the entire account, they may be counted to death.
After all, there is no need to say that as their industrial chain is completed, the initial iron ore and coal costs are just the price they fill out at will, so they can calculate the price of the entire arsenal clearly.
Strange.
???????? Of course, even if you fill in the price you want, you can guarantee that the price of ore will definitely be lower than the market price.
??????????? Li Tai sent someone to deliver the document to Li Shimin.
??????????? After all, whether Li Shimin is willing to let him build an iron smelting plant in Luoyang still needs Li Shimin to make a decision.
???????????? Li Tai’s main purpose is naturally not to build an arsenal, but he only needs to legally create a large coal-steel composite body, and this matter is not the handicraft workshop he has laid out now.
It can be comparable.
??????????? It is reasonable to set up some handicraft workshops for farmers to make iron farm tools and make weapons for the soldiers, but it will definitely be used to accumulate iron tools for private purposes and make bad plans.
The charges are arranged.
???????? But if a large enough scale is not formed in production, the production cost will not be reduced, the production efficiency will not be improved, and it is even more impossible to update and replace the technology.
?????????? In this case, you need a reasonable reason to integrate the handicraft workshops of all sizes under your hands, and then the industrial agglomeration will form economies of scale and become a real industrial zone.
?????????? As for the lack of coal and steel in Luoyang, it doesn’t matter. With the Grand Canal in Beijing and Hangzhou, even iron ore and coal thousands of miles away can be transported to Luoyang. The real problem is that you need a reasonable situation.
The reason for building a coal-steel community.
????????? Now this ironworks that manufacture armors give me a good reason.
?????????? After all, it is an arsenal that builds armor, so it is reasonable to build it larger in scale and cover a larger area!
?????????? Li Tai sent the letter back to Chang'an as fast as possible, waiting for Li Shimin's final decision.
???????? Of course, if Li Shimin really never retreated, he could only choose to buy Chang'an armor.
????????? But let’s not talk about this batch of goods that are expensive, but more importantly, the shipment speed is still slow, how can people bear it?
?????????? Li Tai waited patiently for the news and began to deal with Luoyang's government affairs first.
????????? For example, I went to find those chess and applauses to start formulating unified rules for Go. Although Li Tai named it a simple and intuitive name for the world's No. 1 Go competition, he was granted three chess.
The Attendant's unanimous objection was because they thought it was too vulgar.
????????? However, they still surrendered to the face of the King of Wei Li Tai, who was responsible for paying money.
?????????? It was just that he strongly asked to add a subtitle called Luoshui Tattoo, and Li Tai said it didn't matter.
?????????? Anyway, I don’t care about anything stupid. I just need to find someone who is best at layout from the top ten and work through his intuition.
????????? So the news of the Luoshui Game or the world's No. 1 Go Competition was initially spread by Luoyang.
??????????? Finally, it was decided to set the time to start on August 15 next year, and anyone in the world who is interested in competing for the name of Chess Saint can participate, without any restrictions.
??????????? In addition to the various prizes prepared by Li Tai, the winner also has the name of the chess saint in the world.
?????????? This chess saint needs to play again every three years, and only those who have won the title of chess saint three times in a row can be called the Unparalleled Chess Saint.
????????? Li Tai originally thought it would take nine times so that people could feel the synthesis pleasure.
????????? But it takes twenty-seven years to calculate the days nine times, and I always feel it’s a bit too much, so I’ll change it to three times.
??????????? After all, winning the Chess Saint three times in a row is almost a chess world that has ruled for ten years, and it can be regarded as ruling an era.
?????????? After all, I can’t be too terrible, and I still have to be a human being occasionally.
?????????? Li Tai also added here, "On the fifteenth day of August, on the banks of Luoshui River, I will use the god's hand, please show it!"
?????????? Because Luoyang is the economic center of the Tang Dynasty, under the conscious spread of Li Tai, the news began to spread layer by layer.
When Chu Suiliang arrived in Luoyang, he saw the prosperous and vibrant scene of Luoyang. He could see many chess players in the streets and alleys, all playing chess, and the people behind him were even more.
With more guidance, it can be said that it is very lively.
?????????? Chu Suiliang was very curious when he saw this scene, and he learned it from his father Chu Liang.
?????????? As long as it comes out of Chongwen Hall, chess may be just ordinary, but it is absolutely impossible to say that you can't play chess.
??????????? After all, Li Shimin himself is a person who likes to play chess.
?????????? So the eighteen bachelors in Chongwenguan are more or less able to play chess, but the best thing about playing chess is Xu Jing Chong.
???????????? Chu Suiliang came to the post station and lived there for a while, but saw someone playing chess in the post station. This made Chu Suiliang feel surprised and said, "The style of chess is like this."
Sheng, it’s really lamentable!”
????????? "The guest official is not a local from Luoyang, right?" The postman looked at Chu Suiliang and said, "On August 15th next year, don't miss the Luoshui chess!"
????????? "Luo Shui Qi?" Hearing this, Chu Suiliang felt a little unresponsive and asked, "What's the matter?"
"When King of Wei likes Go, he came to Luoyang, and decided to convene chess masters from Western Shu, Longyou, Northland, Jiangnan, and even Chang'an to hold Luo next year on the banks of Luoshui.
Water chess competition for the name of Chess Saint.
????????? If someone can win three times in a row, he can even win the name of the Unparalleled Chess Saint.
???????? Of course, for real experts, if they can become the top ten, they can be qualified to be directly recruited by the government.
????????? What else can this be? Of course, it is a chess assistant who can play chess with the emperor. If he can really win the name of the chess saint, the chess player in the world will not be in vain for his life!"
?????????? The soldiers of this warrior couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
????????? "Why are so many people playing chess?" Chu Suiliang was a little confused when he heard the words of the soldiers.
????????? "Because this Luoyang chess does not limit the number of people to register, but there are rules and regulations for registration!" said the servant,
???????? "The first step is the preliminary round, everyone can sign up for the game, and this game will play chess every day based on the number of registered people. Infinite rounds, the winner will continue.
The loser left the field, and in the end there were only 128 left in the selection!”
???????? "At this stage, I'm afraid there's a mixture of dragons and snakes. Everyone wants to go in and try it!" Chu Suiliang said, "But it seems that this is quite time-consuming!"
????????? "Who said it was said that King Wei planned to use a month to slowly screen, but he didn't know if it was true!"
The ?????????? The soldiers sighed, "However, there are more than 100 places, and everyone wants to try it. Except for the registration fee, the registration fee requires five Kaiyuan Tongbao, there are no other conditions. As long as you enter the rematch,
That is, each person will be rewarded with a hang of money every day!”
????????? "A reward of a hang of money every day?" Chu Suiliang was a little surprised when he heard this.
????????? "Well! Next, the rematch was divided into two groups, with a three-game two-win system, each with four winners, and all the losers competed for the remaining two.
quota.”
???????? "The end is ten games. Ten Go masters fight each other. There is still a three-game two-win system, and the four top masters with the best results are in the final showdown!"
???????? "The last four masters are five games and three wins, and one game a day, and they will be held to compete for the final chess saint!"
???????? "Tsk tsk, if you're playing such a long game, it's probably two or three months before the showdown will end!" Chu Suiliang sighed.
?????????? "Who said no!" The soldier nodded and said, "After playing this chess, I will calculate the day. Maybe the New Year will be coming.
????????? However, this year, the King of Wei has already started to build a venue for everyone to watch the chess game.
????????? It is said that we are going to build a large chess board, which is quite exciting to say!”
?????????? "Is Taoism Square?" When Chu Suiliang heard the words of the soldiers, he was looking forward to next year's chess competition.
?????????? The previous qualifiers can be passed, but in the final, you have to come and have a look at everything you say!
As mentioned earlier, Li Tai consciously wanted to artificially create the city business card of Luoyang and attract more people to come to Luoyang.
?????????? After all, there is no disaster in the current Tang Dynasty. As a prince, I should not expect disasters to occur in the Tang Dynasty. Then I can only attract talents in my own way.
Luoyang!
??????????? One of the ways to attract talents from the Tang Dynasty to come over like a moth to the flame is to turn Luoyang into an exhibition city for the Tang Dynasty.
???????????? Due to the gathering of a large number of senior talents, what are the tertiary industries such as tourism, advertising, services, and even the economic benefits derived from this are definitely
Immaculate.
?????????? After all, in this era, people who play Go and think they can make a move are not a noble family or a poor family!
?????????? And it needs to be noted that the imperial examination system in this era was only a beginning and was not absent from the name. It was mostly supported by Shangguan to become an official of the Tang Dynasty.
There are really few opportunities for poor students to stay.
????????? But in this Go competition, Li Tai directly said that the top ten of these people who performed the last will be admitted to officials.
??????????? If possible, Li Tai planned to take them all into his own name to work.
But Li Tai knew that in the end, the top five, or even the top three, would probably be asked by Li Shimin to be a chess attendant.
????????? But Li Tai doesn’t need a pure Go player. He needs only someone with excellent layout or better spatial intuition to survey the direction and determine the core of the layout.
????????????? It was just like Li Tai proposed to Li Shimin that he proposed to develop Youzhou fishery and proposed the idea of "one son to resolve two struggles".
???????? But that is on the entire China map. Now I need to let them find the appropriate layout points in a more specific space!
?????????? When I was carrying out actual road construction or bridge construction in China, how can I get the optimal solution to these things in a certain location? In the era without computers, this is what I need.
A kind of near-intuitive surveying ability.
????????? And Go is the only solution that Li Tai can think of.
???????? "However, it's really the character of King Wei. When I arrive, I get lively in the whole place!"
??????????? Chu Suiliang sighed, but he knew that he was going to pay homage to the King of Wei.
