The secret letter in Li Shimin was sent by the factory guards. Half an hour ago, he had just read the secret report of the bad guy. The two secret reports were corrected by each other, and Li Shimin was able to get the most accurate news.

Nowadays, bad people and factory guards have joined hands and become two major intelligence agencies under Li Shimin's leadership, which is quite tempting. The development speed of factory guards is beyond everyone's imagination. In the past, bad people took the lead in sending secret reports, but now, there are backs and backs, fronts and backs.

Yuan Tiangang was like facing a great enemy, but Eunuch Gao always looked like he was smiling.

He is different from Yuan Tiangang. Yuan Tiangang can go wherever he needs to go, and Eunuch Gao will always serve Li Shimin. He can't leave the palace, but he can develop the factory guards so rapidly. Many people speculate that there must be a help from experts.

But no matter who asks, Eunuch Gao never responds. Of course, when Li Shimin asks, he wants to say it, but strangely, Li Shimin never asks it.

In fact, the answer is not difficult to guess. The factory guards are developing so rapidly, of course there is someone helping each other. This helper is not someone else, but Li Mu. To be precise, it is not Li Mu, but Ji Sitang.

After Mrs. Lu changed the development plan of Jisitang and planned to completely convert it into underground, some of Jisitang's intelligence agencies were at risk of being eradicated by the court. Since they could not be kept, after discussing with Li Mu, Mrs. Lu decided to give these intelligence personnel to the factory guards and make the Dongchang manuscript.

The purpose is also very simple. It is to share the weight of bad people in Li Shimin's heart and increase the power of Eunuch Gao. Although Eunuch Gao will definitely not betray Li Shimin, people have affection. At critical moments, even if Eunuch Gao gives you a little news, it may help you. This investment is not a loss!

Li Shimin knew this very well. But there is a saying that is good: neither deaf nor blind, and he cannot be a family. Li Shimin can be an emperor with a broad mind, and he sees the overall situation. Overall, the increase in intelligence personnel is beneficial to him. Moreover, he may not fully trust Yuan Tiangang, and his eyes are better. If the one-eyed dragon is blind, he will be unable to see anything.

Moreover, after Eunuch Gao took over these personnel, he was not without screening. Generally speaking, it is still useful.

When Eunuch Gao saw that Li Shimin had finished reading the secret report, he brought a brazier. Li Shimin threw the secret report in and soon burned to ashes.

These things are secretly revealed. If they are seen by the diner and written on the diners, the historians of the later generations will not know how to arrange them.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis is in Yangzhou and there seems to be no obstacle..." Eunuch Gao brought a cup of tea, which was already cold. Li Shimin liked to drink this kind of cold tea, and I don't know what it tasted.

Li Shimin took a sip, slightly bitter, and a little awkward: "Li Mu, this kid, has no cover for his work. What do you think he is doing? He is telling me that he has left his retreat on the sea. If I suspect him one day, he will set sail to sea and never come back!"

"Uh..." At this time, Eunuch Gao usually doesn't speak, but this time it's an exception. Eunuch Gao hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a good thing, at least it means that the Marquis does not have the intention to usurp the rebellion!"

"He has no intention of usurping the rebellion, but he has thought of me as someone. I am just like he thought-" Li Shimin wanted to say something, but the words stopped when he spoke. He really had no way to say that he would not attack Li Mu, because such thoughts had lingered in his heart many times.

"It's okay, okay..." Li Shimin hesitated for a moment and said in anger: "After the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, he signed an order to grant Yangzhou the fief of King Chu."

"The fief of King Chu..." Eunuch Gao whispered, as if he was choking: "Your Majesty, the King of Chu is still in his infancy. This is not in accordance with the rules."

"Didn't it mean that the king's land in the world? I will give it to anyone I want to give it to. Li Mu feels that I am narrow-minded and I will never have such a reputation. His title is low, and it is already a great emperor's grace to be given to him. It is not advisable to give it to him Yangzhou again. But his son is a king's title, and he is more than enough to give it to him, so give it to him!"

If people who are not aware of it hear this, this is not grace, but it seems like there is a grudge.

Eunuch Gao wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by Li Shimin, so he had to respond and turn around and go to the Secretariat to pass the imperial edict.

In Luoyang City, Li Bai, who was crying, didn't know that he was already a ban on the country.

Li Mu didn't know that Yangzhou was more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an. When the news reached his ears, it was more than a month later. In the past month, the prototype of the Wanshi Ship had already emerged, leaving only the internal structure and the "ship-based weapons" that needed to be installed, and then you could go into the water at a date.

Li Mu named the first ten thousand stone ship Chang'an. In addition to Chang'an being the capital, he also used the literal meaning to seek peace and happiness.

After the main ship was built, the supporting escort ships were also under construction. These escort ships became familiar with the construction. The Zhu family in Wuzhong had ready-made products, but they were just a "concept ship". Some technical problems were not solved. After Li Mu looked at the drawings, he transformed them with the drawings provided by the system, and finally completed them.

This type of guard ship is named "Car Ship". Car Ship is a pure warship, and its function is to fight at sea. There are two wooden boats, no one is measured, one is called a car. It uses human power to trample the wheel slurry and drive the wheel slurry to rotate, and the ship will drive it.

This is the earliest ship. Theoretically, the faster the trampling, the faster the ship will be. The more wheels the more power it generates. The vehicles and ships built this time are all twenty-four wheels. Twenty-four wheels are inconvenient for navigation, but they are enough to be used in the river.

The birth of vehicles and ships is enough to shock the water thieves in Taihu Lake and Poyang Lake. It ensures that the Grand Canal is unobstructed. Before the Wanshi Ship is completed, Li Mu's first order for Thousand Stone Ship should also be completed. After the strong crossbow he designed himself, it will become the frigate when the Wanshi Ship traverses above the ocean.

Of course, a powerful crossbow is far from enough. It is okay at sea, but how can it be done without a cannon? The crossbow has a limited range and insufficient lethality. If it is a shell that comes, it will directly sink the ship, which can be said to be a soul-stirring shot.

With systematic help, the cannon is very easy to design. However, Li Mu still didn't get it out because the cannon is not available at all on the surrounding coasts.

To be honest, with the current world's shipping technology and shipbuilding level, once a ten-stone ship is out, there is no need to fight, and it can scare people to death. If someone wants to commit suicide and challenge this giant at sea, then it is purely commit suicide.

The waves exercised by the ten thousand stone ships could overturn their small sampans. They were not an order of magnitude at all, and they were completely incomparable.

However, the cannon still needs to be prepared. However, Li Mu arranged the design and processing of the cannonballs overseas and did not intend to use them immediately. When these small countries around him catch up, they mistakenly thought they could compare, and then take out the cannons and crush them. This is the correct way to use the cannons.

The ship was being built, and the cement factory in Wuxian was also in full swing. This incident made Li Mu see how powerful the local power of famous families was. When he was "occupying land" in Lantian County, Li Mu was so arrogant that he could barely suppress the scene with the halo of "Luoyang Hou's heroic and unreasonable". In Wuxian, when people were asked to withdraw the fields from the cement factory to develop, there was no obstacle, and many farmers even helped with the construction without any complaints.

Things that the imperial court could not do were done by these famous families in just one sentence. It has to be said to be a satire. Li Mu secretly decided in his heart that at least where he had been, this situation must end.

While opening iron ore, cement plants are also opened. Since manpower and material resources are ready-made, Lantian and Taiyuan can refer to the experience of cement plants and iron ore construction, some backbone talents can be allocated from there to drive new people here. The progress is not very slow.

But Li Mu has done the same thing once, so he naturally has not much interest. His whole thoughts are still on the Wanshi Ship. Every time he comes to the Second Cement Plant and the Iron Mine to inspect, it is a torment for Li Mu.

After two more months of suffering, finally, the Wanshi Ship was completed and launched. Li Mu immediately left the matter at hand and came to the deck of the Chang'an.

Manager Xiao was taking the people to do the final inspection. A total of 107 inspections were completed according to the established standards, without any omissions. Manager Xiao seemed to be exhausted and fell under the mast.

Seeing Li Mu coming, he struggled to get up again and bowed, "Fortunately, Marquis, the ten thousand stone ship was built!"

After saying this, Manager Xiao was already filled with tears.

As the person who has been dealing with Wanshi Ship for the longest time, no one knows better than him how difficult it is to build this ship, and no one knows better than him what it means to own this ship in the Tang Dynasty.

Before he could sigh, Li Mu waved his hand and the sailors who had been transferred to him at some point had already stood on the deck.

Manager Xiao exclaimed: "Mr. Marquis, what are you doing?"

"Testing the boat, what are you doing!" Li Mu pressed his straw hat on his head and shouted at the sailors on the deck: "You have been practicing for several months. Today, let me see your skills, and take your place. Go to the sea to practice in half an hour!"

"promise!"

Hundreds of sailors agreed and rushed to their respective positions according to their daily training. Manager Xiao was a little panicked and hurried to Li Mu and said, "Marty, this is the first day of going to the water, and I have to go out to sea. I'm a little too hasty. I'd better observe for a few days and not have any problems..."

"Didn't you check it? There are no problems in all 107 links, that's it, it's no problem. Or are you just perfunctory and deceived me?"

"The villain dares not!" Manager Xiao stomped his feet in a hurry and said, "One hundred and seven projects are definitely qualified, but, just..."

After only a long time, I couldn't tell the reason, and my face turned red!

Li Mu knew what Manager Xiao meant. This feeling was a bit similar to a student from a poor family who had saved up for more than half a year after working and finally bought a pair of Jordans. He was reluctant to take it out and wear it, for fear of scratching and touching it, and he wanted to wrap a film as a tribute.

Although this kind of mentality is not ridiculous, it is actually a bit of a problem.

Anything is valuable only if it is used.

Li Mu didn't bother to pay attention to what Manager Xiao was thinking. "Testing the boat, what are you doing!" Li Mu pressed his straw hat on his head and shouted at the sailors on the deck: "You have been practicing for several months. Today, let me see your skills, and take your place.
