I am engaged in construction in Datang

White light flickered and the world became quiet.

Everyone's mind was blank, but their hearts were still beating hard.

Li Shimin turned his head woodenly and looked at Li Yin. He saw her mouth opening and closing, but he didn't know what she was saying to Fang Xuanling.

He couldn't hear anyway.

His arm was touched, and he turned around and saw Changsun Wuji with a look of panic on his face. The other party was grabbing his sleeve tightly, and his mouth was opening and closing.

He looked at the other person's lip shape and it seemed like he was calling "Your Majesty".

Hey!

You, the mean and wicked Changsun Wuji, didn't even speak loudly, deliberately trying not to let me hear you!

Cheng Yaojin, who was standing at the front, was in the worst situation.

He spoke a few words loudly and found that Yuchi and others behind him looked confused. He also couldn't hear what the other party said.

After a long while, he still couldn't hear.

So I panicked.

"I'm deaf! I can't hear..."

He shouted loudly, but no one around paid attention to him.

Then he burst into tears: "I will never be able to hear again, wuwuwuwuwu... What should I do? What should I do!"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

Li Shimin looked at the demons dancing wildly in front of him with mixed feelings. He was happy and sad at the same time.

Fortunately, he was standing far away and was less affected, and his hearing was the first to recover. As soon as it recovered, he heard Cheng Yaojin's ghostly howling.

"I was wrong, what should I do next?"

Li Shimin felt so ashamed that he wanted to slap the other person twice.

Fortunately, this was only temporary deafness, and by the time everyone got down the mountain, it had almost recovered.

In addition to the explosive pack, Li Yin also pushed over a cannon. After the fuse was ignited, the ammunition flew out and directly created a big hole in the opposite mountain.

The civil officials were fine, but the military generals were extremely excited.

That good thing called cannon is really a good thing!

"Master Li!"

Cheng Yaojin's face was full of excitement. He didn't control his strength well and punched Li Yin on the shoulder: "I will never say the word sissy again! You ladies are all great!"

"!"

Li Yin was knocked back four or five steps and then sat on the ground.

The two looked at each other, both confused.

Li Shimin's face turned dark. Before he could take any action, the generals around him pinned Cheng Yaojin to the ground and beat him up.

"You thief Cheng, don't you know how strong you are?"

"Your punch can kill a cow, you beat the skinny little owner, you are really asking for trouble!"

"Open your dog eyes and take a look. Master Li can't even stand up!"

Li Yin, who was about to stand up, said: "..."

Is she standing now or not?

"Sister." Li Shimin's face was full of worry: "Can you stand up?"

Then Li Shimin asked again: "Do you want me to carry you down the mountain?"

"."

Li Yin climbed up.

The entire left shoulder was numb, and he was the only injured person on this trip.

[System, didn’t you say I wouldn’t get sick? ]

【. 】

[Host, this is a skin injury]

[Skin injuries are not considered illness? 】

【…】

[How much discount is there for the traumatic injury formula? 】

【50% off】

Li Yin actually heard the sound of gnashing teeth.

[Okay, give me one of each]

Today, all the ministers will have a meal at the farm. After eating, those who should leave will leave, and those who should stay will stay.

"Duke Ji, Duke Ji!"

Feng Sanxi hurried out of the manor and called out to Duan Lun who was about to leave: "The owner of the manor wants to discuss something important with you."

So, under the envious gazes of Yuwen Shiji and others, Duan Lun had no choice but to stay.

But he was not happy. With the lessons learned from Fang Xuanling and others, Duan Lun felt that his good days were coming to an end.

Duan Lun followed Feng Sanxi and others to the study, where Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were all there.

Isn’t this just a small court meeting?

When she saw Duan Lun, a smile instantly broke out on Li Yin's face.

"Duke Ji, you are finally here!"

“……”Duan Lun, he didn’t want to come.

After everyone took their seats, Feng Sanxi and Wang Dahai brought a huge box and placed it on the table in front of everyone.

There are many uneven wooden boards in the box.

Wang Dahai took out the wooden boards and put them together one by one. The old men around him watched intently.

"Everyone, please take a look."

Li Yin said, "This is the canal formed by the Yongji Canal, Tongji Canal, and Han Canal. The previous dynasty called it the North-South Grand Canal."

The study was completely silent, and no one dared to even breathe.

Emperor Yang of Sui built the Grand Canal without regard for national conditions and public opinion, and was ambitious and ostentatious, forcing the people to rebel.

Its infrastructure achievements cannot be denied, but this also cannot conceal its conceited and tyrannical nature.

The Tang Dynasty was established only a short time ago. Is it going to follow the path of Emperor Yang of Sui now?

No, no, no, although His Majesty is cruel, he at least listens to advice.

"Sister." Li Shimin said with difficulty: "It's not that I don't want to build a canal, but I don't have the manpower!"

If the people are forced to work, the result will be more harm than good.

Speaking of manpower, Li Yin also had a headache: "We won't open it this year, we can wait until next year. Besides, the explosives are already made, and using them to open the canal will surely save a lot of manpower."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up. Why didn't he think of using explosives?

"So good."

Li Yin asked Wang Dahai to bring a few smaller boxes.

"Brother, everyone, this is the big ship designed by the manor."

This was a type of ship called the Manila Galleon that Li Yin used at that time. The model alone was as long as an arm.

"This ship has a carrying capacity of over a thousand tons. The bottom floor of the ship is used to store ballast, and the upper floor is the cargo hold. We can bring all the good stuff out there to the Tang Dynasty!"

In order to facilitate display, the ship can be disassembled, and the layers of structure inside are extremely delicate.

The model was made by Wang Dahai himself, working day and night for a full half month.

What is displayed at this time is the bottom of the ship. The bottom layer is filled with stone ballast, and the upper layer is stacked with wooden boxes, representing the cargo.

"One floor up is the living area for the crew." Li Yin showed the third floor. Everyone leaned over to take a look and could see bunk beds, wooden tables, wooden cabinets, etc. in each room.

"And this layer..."

Li Yin paused and showed it: "It's the artillery area."

"Is it the iron lump from this morning?"

"That's right!"

Small cannon models appeared before everyone, looking both ferocious and cute.

There are simple beds and dining tables around the artillery, which are prepared for those on duty to ensure that the artillery can be fired at all times.

They counted and found that there were seventy-four cannons on this floor alone, and there were even more cannons on the floor above!

"Living King of Hell..." Xiao Yu muttered to himself.

The power of a single cannon can cause a mountain to collapse. With more than a hundred cannons, are they going to destroy an entire country with just one ship?

"no way."

Li Yin sighed, "There are too many good things in the outer continent. We have to ask people to go... get them."

"You know, the barbarians are big and strong, while our Tang soldiers are weak. We can only make more preparations so that they can run away safely when facing bandits."

As she spoke, she showed an innocent smile.

"..."

Li Shimin and others.
