"Congratulations, Master, for creating the Hundred Refined Steel Forging Method and making an outstanding contribution to the development of the Great Tang. You have been rewarded with three million contribution points. Congratulations on gradually drifting away from the path of lazing around.”
If it weren't for this gratifying voice ringing in her mind, Yan Ruyu might have beaten the Hundred Cavalry Hawk Hound until it sh * t.
The Eagle Hound of the Hundred Cavalry Division was furious. He was the Emperor's minion, and he was beaten beyond recognition just like that? This was definitely the first person in history who dared to beat up the Hundred Cavalry Hawk Hound. This wasn't beating up the Hundred Cavalry Division, but Li Er's face.
The 30-year-old eagle hound had panda eyes. His left and right faces were swollen and drooling. His face was bruised and purple as he limped back to the palace.
Li Er was dumbfounded. Empress Zhangsun was also dumbfounded. Li Er asked angrily,"Who beat you up like this?"
Eagle Hound lowered his head and said vaguely," It was Marquis Yan. Marquis Yan beat me up. Your Majesty, Marquis Yan asked me to bring you the forging method of Hundred Refined Steel. Three to five people can produce a hundred catties a day."”
Three to five people producing a hundred catties per day? Li Er's eyelids twitched a few times. He stood up and exclaimed,"Three to five people producing a hundred catties per day?"
It was no wonder Li Er was so shocked. The Tang Empire had very strict control over ironware. Ultimately, it was because of the lack of technology. Every year, a blacksmith workshop with hundreds of people could only produce a few thousand catties. The government's ironware production was managed by Zhangsun Wuji, and his family's main business was ironware.
If it was really as Yingquan had said, that three to five people could produce a hundred kilograms of steel every day, then the Great Tang's efficiency in producing iron would increase by several dozen times or even a hundred times, and the Great Tang's military would reach a terrifying level.
Li Er knew the benefits of refining steel. Soldiers 'weapons would become harder, their armor lighter and sturdier, and the Tang soldiers' combat power would double or even multiply. Li Er dared not think about it any further, his face flushed with excitement.
After taking the forging method of the Hundred Refined Steel from the eagle hound's hand and carefully reading it, Li Er was excited and paced back and forth in front of the table.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Yan asked me to tell you something."”
"Speak."
"Then this lowly subject will explain the original words.”
"Yes."
"Go back and tell Li Er…No, tell His Majesty. The Marquis of Langya County, Yan Ruyu, is very open and has not done anything to let down the Great Tang or the royal family. If Your Majesty wants to monitor the Marquis of Langya County, please send out an official to do it openly. If the talent is gone, you can find another one, but if the talent is disappointed, the country will be doomed. Get lost and disappear from my sight.”
Li Er's face changed back and forth like a Sichuan opera singer. Empress Zhangsun was shocked at first, then her face turned red and she said angrily,"What a good Langya County Marquis, calling Your Majesty as…Li Er. His crime deserves to be punished.”
Li Eryi's face turned green, and his chest heaved up and down in anger. After a long time, he finally calmed down and actually chuckled."Guanyin servant, please don't be angry. This is my fault. My actions have disappointed him. It's understandable that he spoke so passionately in anger. It's just a form of address. This time, he was the same as Wei Zheng. It's strange that he dared to speak out about Li Er. Many officials secretly cursed him but did not dare to say it.”
"What's that kid doing at home?" asked Li Er. I don't believe that he wouldn't have discovered that the Hundred Cavalry Division was monitoring him two days ago.”
The eagle hound's face was swollen like a bun, and a large stream of saliva dripped down as it spoke."Your Majesty, I don't know what the Marquis of Langya County is doing. He dug out a huge cave in his backyard, dug up five to six acres of land, and hammered down stakes. He even drew some strange drawings.”
After hearing Li Er's words, Zhangsun also calmed down. He frowned and said,"Piling a pile and digging a cave? What is this kid doing?”
Ying Quan shook his head and said,"Your Majesty, do you still want me to go to Langya Marquis 'Mansion to hide?"”
Li Er shook his head and said," There's no need to go. He said these words for me. If I were to monitor his actions, I reckon that with his personality, he would be furious. That could become a disaster. Tell the Chief of the Hundred Horsemen Division, Zhu Tai, that there's no need to report any movements from Marquis Yan in the future, and don't monitor him anymore."”
"Zhen is afraid that he will really leave and return to the life of a wild crane. Zhen had planned to let him impart his life's knowledge to the students of the Great Tang, allowing the Great Tang's national strength to reach new heights. It seems that Zhen will have to personally make a trip to the Marquis's Manor in the future to apologize to this brat.”
Zhangsun was shocked." Your Majesty, you can't do that. You are the most respected person in the world. Even if you did something wrong, he is still a young man. He can't accept Your Majesty's personal apology. When the time comes, the civil and military officials will impeach him for not knowing how to be modest and damage the royal family's reputation. It will also be troublesome."”
Li Er nodded and said," That's right. Since we can't apologize, then we should reward him well. We have to take out something to let him see that I'm apologizing. What should we reward him with?" He had the title of nobility and fertile land. He did not lack gold, silver, and silk. At this time, if he was given the title of county duke, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it because he was too young. It was really difficult.”
Li Er suddenly frowned and said," I always feel that he is an empty person. I always have a feeling that he will suddenly disappear in the Tang Empire. I always feel that the kinship of the Yan Family cannot tie him down. I have a feeling that I am worried about my gains and losses. I don't want such a talent to leave the Tang Empire and Chang 'an. Sigh!"”
Li Er's worry was unnecessary. This was only his one-sided opinion. Zhangsun frowned and said,"Why don't we…let him marry Li Yuan in advance?”
Li Er frowned and said," The two of them have never said a word. Without any emotional foundation, I'm afraid he won't be able to tie his heart. These few days, he has always thought that the ministers and I were playing him, but he has played me and the ministers in circles. In the end, he didn't find any of his shortcomings. What does he like?”
"They said that he liked gold, silver, and silk, but he was generous and rewarded them with gold. He said that he likes women, but zhen can't tell what he likes. One day I must go to the marquis fu and understand what he likes.”
However, Li Er was furious very quickly because Langya Marquis Mansion sent someone to send a letter to Li Er.
