In Li Xuan's opinion, ordnance production is also an industrial production. This belongs to the category of industry and must be handled by professional people from the Ministry of Industry. What are you guys doing in this group of soldiers? Just do the fighting.
However, the difference between the artillery of the navy and the army is indeed quite large. Now it is difficult for the navy to obtain large-caliber naval guns, so Li Xuan also gave the navy a workaround: now the army's artillery has basically been satisfied.
Although it is still expanding, the demand for artillery will definitely increase, but the demand for this kind of artillery is a stable growth curve.
However, major arsenals are expanding production almost all the time. This extra production just frees up part of the navy. Of course, if the navy does not want the army to use guns, it can also put forward performance indicators for bidding on its own, and let those arsenals specifically
Produces artillery for the navy.
Just like the previous three-pound shotgun, this artillery was actually developed and produced specifically for the navy from the beginning. However, due to the lack of artillery in the army, and the three-pound shotgun, it only weighs more than three hundred kilograms.
The army also equipped some of them.
But there are not many. This kind of three-pound shotgun is mainly equipped on the army's warships. Even if the army is equipped with it, most of it is used for temporary transition. In the future, this kind of three-pound shotgun will not be equipped on a large scale.
Because for the two-pound shotguns commonly equipped by the army today, its range has not been improved, and its power has been improved to a limited extent, but its weight has been doubled. This difference in weight does not matter to the navy.
, but the Army is very sensitive to this.
Nowadays, the major arsenals under the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty can basically make guns and cannons, and they are also in a competitive relationship with each other. Bidding for these arsenals can just increase the competition between these arsenals.
competition, thus motivating them to develop better technologies.
The Huguang front line is being fought, and Li Xuan, who has been fighting for a while, has no way of knowing the specific situation on the front line. At the same time, as the emperor of a country, Li Xuan cannot be like the young man who asks the people below how the fighting is going. He
You have to maintain a calm and calm look.
Therefore, in addition to dealing with daily affairs, Li Xuan also suppressed the urgency in his heart and turned his attention to his own housework, so as to save himself from worrying about how the battle on the front line was going.
That night, after Li Xuan returned to the harem, he did not go to Queen Dong Yunyun, but to the Ye family!
That night, Mr. Ye pestered him several times to ask for it, and Li Xuan cooperated wholeheartedly, even if it was to **** him.
Why, because Ye felt threatened!
About ten days ago, Queen Dong Yunyun felt unwell for several days in a row, so she called the imperial doctor from Tai Hospital to see her, and they diagnosed her with a positive pulse on the spot.
In other words, after two years of hard work, Li Xuan finally got Dong Yunyun pregnant.
This news is still top secret. In order to protect Dong Yunyun from outside interference, and even more to protect the child in Dong Yunyun's belly, the Queen Mother sent two mothers with extremely powerful fighting skills to Dong Yunyun's side.
All diets need to be carefully inspected, and irrelevant people are prohibited from approaching Dong Yunyun to avoid various accidents.
It's no wonder that Li Xuan and Bai Tianhou are so careful. It's because they are in different positions. There are few things in the royal family that are simple, especially those involving future generations and heirs.
If nothing unexpected happens, if Dong Yunyun is born a boy, then this boy will most likely be the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
There are too many dirty things in the palace. Although Li Xuan usually does not interfere in the affairs of the harem, but lets Empress Dowager Bai help suppress the harem, but with the number of concubines in the harem gradually increasing, this is right and wrong and unnatural.
There are more.
Nowadays, Li Xuan's concubines are no longer the three in the past, but have increased several times. After moving the capital to Zhaoqing, there was a lot of discussion because of the long-term childlessness. It was also to appease the people in Guangdong and Guangxi, especially the gentry and businessmen.
.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty conducted two private drafts, one for Guangxi and the other for Guangdong, and most of the women selected into the palace had special political factors.
Except for a few of these women who were from chieftain families in Guangxi, the others were all daughters of scholarly families who represented the interests of the gentry class in Guangxi and Guangxi.
The gentry class in this era often included scholars, medium and large businessmen, and medium and large landowners. Because they represented the scholarly family of the scholar group, their families often had a large amount of land and were not short of money.
Once you have fame and power, you will naturally be able to do business. For the sake of reputation, they often let side branches or domestic slaves come forward to run the business.
But in the final analysis, the big businessmen these days are actually big landowners, and they are also scholars. These three are actually unified, and generally speaking, they can be described in one word: those with vested interests!
In the past, Li Xuan and the Li family could barely be considered in this class. Although their family had less land and less money, they could still be considered as belonging to the landlord class.
The strong rise of the Tang Dynasty and the implementation of new agricultural taxes and commercial taxes for development are naturally a good thing for ordinary people, but for those with vested interests who are accustomed to tax evasion, it is not a good thing, so armed
Things like tax resistance will arise in endlessly, and Li Xuan cannot always adopt a kill-kill policy for these people.
Therefore, in order to divide and win over them, Li Xuan promoted industry and commerce, allowing those landlords and businessmen to free up funds from the land. Instead of always buying land and engaging in land annexation whenever they have money, they should play with it.
Factory, expand production.
In addition, he also married a dozen new concubines!
For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention a dozen beautiful and well-educated ladies, even hundreds of Li Xuan had to bite the bullet and marry!
Li Xuan's legs felt a little weak when he thought that there were a dozen beauties in the harem waiting for him to go and fight every night.
What is even more chilling is that these dozen beauties are definitely not the end. Li Xuan can even predict that there will definitely be more and more women in the harem, hundreds of them. I am afraid that they will not be able to stop them, and life will be difficult in the future.
ah!
Especially since Queen Dong Yunyun was pregnant, the dozen or so women in the harem looked at Li Xuan like the big bad wolf looking at the little white rabbit, wishing they could squeeze Li Xuan clean and get pregnant too.
The next day, Li Xuan, who had been working hard for most of the night, was a little unsteady in his steps, but although he was physically and mentally exhausted, he could not stop working.
After the daily morning meeting, Li Xuan summoned Zeng Ziwen and others from the Privy Council. However, although they were summoned, there was no special news because it was only the 29th. Well, even in Shaozhou
The battle report from the government cannot be delivered in just one night.
It would take three or four days to know the battle reports from the front line. After all, if there had not been a huge defeat and the situation suddenly deteriorated, it would have been impossible for the generals on the front line to send all the ordinary battle reports to Zhaoqing via the 500-mile horse.
, at most it is a three-hundred-mile horse.
Therefore, after the strategic meeting in front of the emperor ended, Li Xuan received no new information. He could only listen to Zeng Ziwen and others discussing the bright prospects of the Huguang Campaign on paper.
Returning to his office, Li Xuan began to deal with daily government affairs.
Li Xuan handles government affairs very quickly. He can basically approve a memorial in a few minutes. If it is a memorial that reports on ordinary affairs and talks a lot of nonsense, he can at most scan it at a glance and then approve the final report.
Simple 'read'.
Basically, he would only look at some reports on important matters in detail, and then give a relatively long reply. For example, the magistrate of Lianzhou Prefecture petitioned for the expansion of Xiongtong Pu Port, and at the same time organized the transfer of Lianzhou Prefecture to other prefectures and counties, especially to Zhaoqing.
, Li Xuan paid close attention to the official roads and waterways in Foshan and other places.
Then he gave a detailed approval, and based on his own experience as a latecomer, he suggested that Lianzhou Prefecture should appropriately set aside a port area to attract investment and strive to build the largest commercial port in the Beibu Gulf region.
Then this report was forwarded to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Taxation and other cabinet departments, and they were given specific responsibilities.
This kind of large-scale port renovation and investment promotion cannot be accomplished by the Lianzhou government alone. It requires the cooperation and support of various important cabinet departments.
Whether it is policy or funding, the cabinet's support is needed to make the trip happen.
After approving the Leizhou Prefecture's memorial, Li Xuan saw the director of the Guangxi Patrol Department's request for the establishment of the Guangxi Armed Patrol.
The content of the excerpt is very simple. It says that after the banditry camp was dismantled, the pressure on public security in various parts of Guangxi has become very great, and the military troops are also unable to take into account local security due to heavy combat tasks.
In order to suppress the local area more effectively and maintain the rule of the Tang Dynasty, the Guangxi Patrol Police Department requested that on the basis of patrol police from various places, it would deploy capable patrol police, equipped with guns, and set up several battalions of armed patrol police to garrison important cities, such as Wuzhou and Liuzhou.
Li Xuan didn't even think about this, didn't even look at the details, he simply drew an x neatly and directly approved: "No!"
After thinking for a while, he added another sentence: If you don't think about people's livelihood and talk about military affairs arbitrarily, you will be demoted to the third level.
You don’t need to think about it to know that this must have been done by Liu Bagou’s group of civil servants!
These people want to intervene in the military power and build an army directly under the command of the cabinet. They have never wavered. Even if Li Xuan ordered that he should not do this, they would always test Li Xuan in a roundabout way, and for this
Li Xuan was also merciless in all kinds of temptations. He suppressed them every time they were tested.
Whoever dares to take the trouble will be demoted from his official position!
