As long as Su Chen can really help him defeat Goguryeo, let alone 20 million yuan, even if he gives him all the money from the treasury!
When he thought of this, Li Erxia's mood suddenly brightened, and he planned to go to Su Chen's place early tomorrow morning to explore the situation.
At the same time, Su Chen, who is far away in Wannian County, is also planning a major event related to His Majesty Li Er!
Wannian County, Sujiazhuang.
Today is not a holiday, but Sujiazhuang is extremely lively, just because Su Chen is back!
All the villagers had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Su Chen actually coming back, they couldn't contain their excitement.
"Master, you are finally back!"
"Yes, young master, during your absence, because none of our cattle in Sujiazhuang died of illness, the county magistrate came several times, thinking that we had developed some new breeding method!"
Hearing this, Su Chen frowned, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "That won't work. I'll die quickly and then slice the tenderloin. I'll have this for lunch!"
Seeing the enthusiastic villagers, Su Chen was very moved.
"Everyone, I recently planted a new kind of rice. You all go back to Lao Zhao to get some seeds. From now on, all of us in Sujiazhuang will eat this!"
"Master, we grow sweet potatoes very well, why should we grow this rice?"
Some farmers asked in confusion: "Is it possible that it has a higher yield than sweet potatoes?"
"Can you pursue it a little bit?"
Su Chen lectured: "Which is better, sweet potatoes or rice?"
"That must be rice!"
"Isn't that enough? It's not a famine year, so why should we eat sweet potatoes?!"
Su Chen continued: "From now on, the sweet potatoes from our Sujiazhuang will be sold to the rich masters in Chang'an City, and we will eat good rice ourselves!"
After chatting with the villagers for a few more times, Su Chen couldn't wait to come to his small treasury.
I heard from his old housekeeper that this time Li Er was generous and gave him 20 million yuan directly!
This moment made Su Chen very happy. He is worthy of His Majesty Li Er, who is rich and powerful!
Just two words - bold!
"Li Er is very considerate, and all he gave me was gold."
After checking it over, Su Chen asked with satisfaction: "Have the portions been tested?"
"Young Master, don't worry, there is no way His Majesty could commit fraud."
The old housekeeper was a bit dumbfounded and said: "It's true that we can't really get 20 million yuan anymore."
"That's good."
Su Chen said: "Put the money in batches and deposit it into the cabinet, and then give me the receipt."
"Oh, by the way, how did Li Er deal with the dragon bone?"
"I don't know that either."
The old housekeeper shook his head and said, "I heard that His Majesty buried him under the palace to suppress his luck."
Su Chen nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and went to his study.
study.
Su Chen stood up with a pen in hand and began to draw the drawing of the Hongyi cannon.
Su Chen decided to make this kind of cannon after careful consideration.
Because the barrel of this kind of cannon is long and the wall is very thick, gradually thickening from the muzzle to the breech, the structure is stable and the safest.
Since the Hongyi cannon was made with high-cost materials, Su Chen was not worried that it would be copied.
Moreover, the Hongyi Cannon does not have high requirements for gunpowder, and ordinary black powder can meet its needs.
However, Su Chen still made a small structural modification, that is, removing the cylindrical lugs on both sides of the barrel's center of gravity.
Because of the special terrain of Goguryeo, although this would reduce the adjustability of the cannon, it would also reduce the weight and facilitate transportation.
In this way, this became the most suitable cannon for attacking Goguryeo.
It didn't take long for Su Chen to draw the blueprint of the improved Hongyi cannon.
According to the current progress, it will only take three days at most to complete the construction of his iron smelting workshop.
By then, Su Chen can start making cannons!
After handing the drawings to the old housekeeper, Su Chen returned to the study.
In addition to making cannons, he also wanted to sort out the situation in Goguryeo.
According to his understanding, although the emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in history had slightly different governance methods, their attitudes towards Goguryeo were surprisingly consistent, that is, to fight to death!
So he felt that since Li Er had already thought about it, he would most likely do it!
Although in the original history, Li Er finally defeated Goguryeo, he also paid a heavy price and was not as proud as when he unified the world!
Not to mention Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the three expeditions were just like playing house, failure was inevitable, but it was Li Shimin who later attacked Goguryeo!
Li Shimin, who was brave and good at fighting and used soldiers like a god, didn't completely destroy Goguryeo?!
It is for this reason that the Bangzi Kingdom in later generations was so arrogant and made up a bunch of irritating lies!
From Su Chen's point of view, how could a small country like you, a country like China, be able to slander and arrange the vastness of China for five thousand years?!
I'm afraid I'm not looking for death!
Therefore, Su Chen has traveled through time and must give Bangzi Country a good lesson!
Just strangle them in the cradle!
And if you want to capture Goguryeo, the key lies in Liaodong City!
You must know that Emperor Sui Yang's three expeditions to Goguryeo ended in Liaodong.
This shows how important Liaodong’s strategic location is.
If Liaodong cannot be captured, let alone the area north of the Yalu River.
But Su Chen's was very simple and crude.
Since your ancestors of Bangzi Kingdom chose to defend the city gate, right?
Then I will blast you away with a cannon!
I don’t believe it. Dozens of Hongyi cannons have been bombing day and night for several days. How can you still defend Liaodong?!
Regarding Goguryeo, Su Chen was too lazy to use any tricks.
Just use a cannon to blow it up, there's no need to do all the bells and whistles.
When the time comes, Liaodong will be blasted away, and Goguryeo will be killed and left bleeding and drifting away!
Early the next morning, His Majesty Li Er took Changsun Wuji and Wenzhou to Wannian County.
I didn't take Du Ruhui with me this time, mainly because His Majesty Li Er had noticed that he had a headache recently.
As soon as Su Chen is mentioned, he is full of praises, as if he is mindless, which is really worrying!
Originally, His Majesty Li Er's company commanders, Sun Wuji and Wei Zheng, did not want to take him with him.
But when these two people heard about this, they insisted on coming.
In Changsun Wuji's words, he was afraid that His Majesty Li Er would be deceived by Su Chen again, so he impulsively went to conquer Goguryeo.
In short, unless Su Chen really has some strategy that can definitely defeat Goguryeo, Changsun Wuji will not let His Majesty Li Er do whatever he wants.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of Sujiazhuang.
Sujiazhuang was quite lively at this time, with many farmers carrying sacks and walking out talking and laughing.
