"Something about going overboard?"
Li Shiming looked at Li Lizhi and narrowed his eyes.
The Emperor was very strict with officials who did things they shouldn't do in private. This was especially true for the local officials, because they had the factor of being far away from the emperor.
Especially Li Shi Min, he was even more concerned about the local officials 'actions.
This was because Li Yuan had ascended to the throne from Taiyuan Prefecture.
Local officials had their own military power. Once the time was ripe, they could very well become the next Li Yuan.
Li Lizhi panicked when she saw how serious her father was about this.
Her heart was filled with contradictions, and her pair of big, watery eyes wandered around.
This was not to be said!
Paper couldn't hide the truth, and sooner or later, Li Shimin would find out.
If someone else told Li Shimin, then he would complain.
The nature was completely different.
If she said it now and paid attention to her words, she might even make a big crime into a great merit.
After all, in her opinion, Lin Hao had a good heart.
Clang!
" Your Majesty," Li Lizhi knelt down and said," I didn't reveal my identity when I went there twice. I went there as a commoner."”
"Lord Lin is really a good official!”
"He has done many good deeds for the people.”
"Of course, in order to prepare for this war, I did some things that went a little overboard.”
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Li Shi Min frowned and sat down on the throne.
His heart ached when he saw his daughter kneeling.
Looking at Princess Chang Le kneeling down, he felt that this was not something that could be justified just by going a little overboard.
The word 'forgive' was easy to say.
However, Li Shi Min was the Son of Heaven, the Emperor, and his words carried weight.
He could not casually say anything decisive. He had to be responsible for himself, the Imperial Court, and the world.
"Changle, are you forcing me?" Li Shimin asked coldly.”
"I feel that it's not a small matter!”
"I…"
Li Lizhi was at a loss for words. Her father was her father, and he was more cunning than any fox.
Forget it, just say it!
If they really wanted to punish her, Li Lizhi would go back on her words.
Anyway, she thought that Lin Hao was a good official.
"Didn't His Majesty say that he has such confidence?" Li Lizhi asked seriously. Was he going to use 20,000 soldiers to hold off the 100,000 or 200,000 enemy soldiers that might appear at Shanzhou City?”
"The Great General also said that unless he has the best equipment and the best material reserves, he will not be able to do so.”
"The fact that he could give such a suggestion, and that his suggestion could make the General of Flying Cavalry say that 'it is easy to get a thousand generals, but hard to get a commander', is enough to show that he is a person who plans ahead of time.”
"He had long predicted that a great battle would break out!”
"So, he set a small dream for himself.”
"Small dreams?" Li Shimin asked seriously.”
"Get up and talk!"
Li Lizhi knew her father too well. He was quite clear about public and private matters.
If he knelt down again, he would be no different from those people who gathered a group of people to kneel outside.
She sat back down and said,"He's working hard to make Mingguang Armor for the 20,000 soldiers of Shanzhou Prefecture."”
" What???"
" What did you say?"
Li Shi Min was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. Li Jing was so shocked that he forgot that he was a minister.
Li Lizhi looked at the two of them in surprise and broke out in a cold sweat.
If this was a big deal, it would be making armor privately and deliberately rebelling!
Haha!
Hahaha!
Then, Li Shi Min and Li Jing looked at each other and laughed.
This smile was a little mocking ignorance.
In their opinion, Lin Hao was still a little young.
Even the emperor didn't dare to say that he could produce 20,000 sets of Mingguang Armor in a year. It was simply a fantasy for a provincial governor to only serve for a year and a few months.
The suggestions were good, and the ideas were good. It seemed like he had the thoughts of a marshal, but he didn't have the actual experience of a marshal.
In the end, he was still too young and too idealistic.
"The Shanzhou Prefecture soldiers already have 3,000 sets of Mingguang Armor and 2,000 sets of Shanwen Armor."
Li Lizhi looked at their mocking smiles and felt a little unhappy. She immediately reported her military equipment.
As soon as he finished speaking, no, before he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence.
Whether it was Li Shi Min or Li Jing, it was as if time had stopped. They were stunned.
In their opinion, this was absolutely impossible!
The Mingguang Armor was the first armor of Tang Thirteen. A set of standard Mingguang Armor required 1590 fish scales and 644 long strips to weave together. There was also a leather lining inside.
Not only that, but there was also a metal circular heart-protecting mirror on his chest. It was polished extremely smoothly, like a mirror. Under the sunlight, it reflected a dazzling light, hence the name 'Radiant Armor'.
This meant,'The light of the sun will make the world bright!'
Whether it was Li Shi Min or Li Jing, they were both experts in armor and knew how difficult it was to make the Mingguang Armor.
To create a Radiant Armor, a craftsman's skill level would vary with the speed and time required. It would take about 192 to 265 days.
To repair a slightly damaged Radiant Armor in a day would require 40 workers.
Just this craftsmanship, this difficulty, and the ridiculously high price!
He was the Shanzhou Provincial Governor, and in just one year, he had already managed to get 3,000 sets of soldiers?
There was no need to mention the other armors that were equally expensive.
With just these 3,000 sets of Mingguang Armor, not to mention a lower province with less than 20,000 households, there wouldn't even be a provincial province.
Shocking, simply shocking!
"Changle, is that true?" Li Shi Min asked in disbelief.
Li Lizhi nodded firmly.”
"Your son has seen it with his own eyes. The Shanzhou ninth grade city guard captain is wearing Mingguang Armor.”
"Not only that, Cheng Chusi also found out about this situation after infiltrating the army.”
"The training methods of the Shanzhou Prefecture soldiers are also very strange!”
"In short, if you mount a horse, you can charge and kill, and if you dismount, you can defend the city!”
Li Shi Min and Li Jing were even more surprised.
It was because Cheng Chusi had gone to make an unannounced visit, so what was there to be untrustworthy about?
"This is a double-edged sword!" Li Shiming said with a deep gaze.”
"Fortunately, he was born in the Great Tang and his heart is with the Han Clan.”
"If he was born in Tubo or Goguryeo, that would be a disaster!”
Li Jing looked at Li Shiming's deep eyes and immediately thought of his worries.
It was normal for him to be worried. If he didn't have that kind of worry, he would be a fatuous ruler and a ruler who had lost his country.
Since ancient times, there were only two outcomes for peerless geniuses!
One was Wei Qing, and the other was Han Xin!
There were only these two outcomes. There was no third option.
As for the final result, whether Wei Qing received the highest courtesy from the emperor or Han Xin was miserable, it all depended on two factors.
Who was the emperor and who were the emperor's close ministers?
If they were all people like Li Jing and the others, Lin Hao would definitely be Wei Qing, who was demoted by the emperor in the future.
If they were all people like Zhangsun Wuji, Lin Hao would definitely be the second Han Xin in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Jing cupped his hands and smiled.""Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"This child is the descendant of a meritorious minister. He has received patriotic education since he was young and has a good character.”
