I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Li Xi went around in his head for several times before trying to figure out what was going on, and suddenly he couldn't help saying angrily: "We and the Li family of Guangyang have separated as early as 200 years ago!"

Although the two families are still relatives after the division of the clan, they are actually two families, and with the passage of time, after so many generations, the two sides basically have no blood relationship. Just get the family tree out.

Liu Tan couldn't help laughing: "Don't tell me, you go tell Li Kangcheng, that's what he told me."

Li Xi said with a sneer: "The minister wants to see how many grandfathers he has who can be a minister."

Climbing relatives is not such a climbing method.

Liu Tan didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and planned to take Li Xi to see the military equipment the next day, and then went to Guangyang County for a walk.

Seeing Li Xi's appearance, it seemed that he also wanted to trouble Li Kangcheng.

As a result, when Liu Tan took him to the armory the next day, he couldn't walk.

Li Xi froze there as soon as he entered the warehouse. This armory was different from the chaotic scene he imagined. In the past, the image of the armory in his mind was basically dirty and messy, and the maintenance of weapons was not very good.

After all, the soldiers used the weapons of the imperial court to pay the imperial court for the use of less. Yes, it is so unreasonable. The common people fight for the country, and the country also charges money for various weapons and equipment.

The main reason why so many people sign up for the northern border country's conscription every year is because they don't need to spend their own money, and the imperial court also sends them a lot of money!

In other places, these armaments are very expensive, and ordinary people choose to buy them by themselves.

This point is reflected in "Mulan Ci".

So those weapons have been kept in the armory all year round, and they are basically not moved. Naturally, no one cleans them up. They just wait for them to decay before applying for a new batch. As for where this batch will go, it goes without saying. It is the officials who manage this part of the money.

However, Liu Tan's armory is different. The armory is directly divided into categories, and even each weapon has its own warehouse.

Among them, the bow and the crossbow are divided into two warehouses. This crossbow is still a hand crossbow. If you step on the crossbow, it has its own special site because of its huge size.

As soon as Li Xi entered the first room, he couldn't put it down with one of the bows.

Liu Tan looked at him with some surprise: "The bow in your hand is much better than this one, what about it?"

Liu Tan is indeed willing to spend money on armaments, but the problem is that no matter how rich you are, you can’t spend so much money. As long as the quality of armaments is about the same, there is no need to pursue the best, and generals like Li Xi have status and money. The bow in his hand must be much better than those coming out of these assembly lines. Why is he so excited?

Li Xi said with emotion: "I just feel that I have never seen such a good bow and arrow in the hands of a soldier."

He said he tried bending his bow and setting an arrow, and it was indeed not as good as his bow, but the average level of this bow was already much better than the ones prepared by the soldiers themselves, especially the arrows, which looked even more cold and unparalleled in sharpness.

Liu Tan urged him several times before urging Li Xi out of the bow and arrow warehouse, and after arriving at the hand crossbow warehouse, Li Xi simply couldn't move.

Liu Tan said expressionlessly, "I have better ones than this one. I'll give you one later."

Well, although Li Buyan already has a crossbow in his hand, Liu Tan can't give it to Li Xi yet. The crossbow, bow and arrow are considered contraband, and they can't be kept privately no matter where they are, but because Li Buyan they are His own men, so Liu Tan can have a reason to equip them.

Li Xi was not his subordinate before.

Now there is an excuse.

Li Xi was very happy after hearing this, but he still looked reluctant to part with these hand crossbows.

Seeing him thinking like this, Liu Tan thought about it and said, "Why don't I build you a bed here, and you can live here."

Who knew that Li Xi said very happily: "Is it okay? That's a good relationship. Anyway, the Sheriff's Mansion doesn't look as good as here."

Liu Tan: ...

Why didn't he know that Li Xi spoke so straightforwardly before?The face of the sheriff of Liaoxi County next to him is turning green.

In fact, Li Xi used to be more measured in his speech, but now it is because he is happy on the one hand, and on the other hand, he does not need to be too tense when facing Liu Tan.

Another invisible reason is that although Li Xi has been stationed at the border all these years, he still has the opportunity to go back during the holidays.

In the past, when he returned to Chang'an, he would be cautious, try not to offend anyone, and be more cautious in his words and actions.

But who made the King of the Northern Realm so prosperous now, he talked to Liu about his attitude towards Li Xi and his son, and everyone in Chang'an has a much higher tolerance for him.

What's more, even if Li Xi doesn't speak well, he doesn't have any bad intentions, and it's not tiring to associate with him.

The result is that Li Xi is more and more daring to speak, and now he can say whatever he thinks.

However, Li Xi still has the ability to observe words and emotions. He probably saw that Liu Tan was not happy, so he scratched his head and said, "Your Highness, don't blame us. This is the virtue of those of us who see good armaments."

I can’t wait to live with weapons. To be honest, the environment of the Armory is really good because it is newly built. The only disadvantage is that it is underground, so it is not very ventilated and cannot see sunlight.

But it doesn't matter. Li Xi hasn't lived anywhere in these years. When he attacked the Huns, the conditions were worse than now, so he came here like this.

Liu Tan said helplessly: "No one will snatch these things from you. You can just look at the distribution later, it won't be the case."

Only then did Li Xi calm down, he turned to look at Liu Tan and asked, "What did Your Highness tell the minister to see?"

Liu Tan said angrily: "It's too late, let's go in the afternoon."

Originally, he wanted to finish all these things in the morning, but who knew that Li Xi was so excited when he saw these armaments that he almost lived here. He hasn't finished reading the entire armory yet, so it will be the afternoon.

Li Xi's face was obviously much thicker than his son's, even so he didn't feel any embarrassment, coughed lightly and said, "Then... let's see."

Liu Tan waved his hand: "Look for yourself, I'll go back first."

He originally followed Li Xi to show off to some extent-look at the military equipment of our northern border country.

However, Li Xi's reaction was bigger than he expected, and Liu Tan felt that it was boring. He had so many things piled up, why should he stay here and waste time watching the military equipment with Li Xi?

He didn't even plan to show him the power of black powder in the afternoon.

These things made Li Xi react so strongly, black powder...he could probably imagine Li Xi's stunned look.

Liu Tan simply asked Wei Deng and Li Ling to accompany Li Xi to the past. These families of military generals are considered family friends, because they have a good relationship with Li Buyi, so Li Xi usually treats these two people as his nephews. Let the junior accompany Li Xi to see it.

So when it was time for dinner, Liu Tan found a general in a trance.

Liu Tan already thought that Li Xi might have a big reaction, but he never expected that he would be in a trance state, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Li Ling and Wei Deng were obviously caught off guard, and they looked at Liu Tan begging for help.

Liu Tan walked over and shook his hands in front of Li Xi, only to find that Li Xi didn't respond, his eyes were still looking at a certain point, muttering something in his mouth.

He leaned over to listen, and only vaguely heard Li Xi muttering: "The power of this extraordinary man steals the power of heaven."

Liu Tan: ...

He wondered, Li Xi's ability to bear is not so fragile, right?

Why are those people who went to sex with him before all right?

Later, he thought about it, probably because when he went to Jiaozhi, most of the people he brought were his own people, and even the soldiers were from the elite regiment.

These people are very used to the King of the North coming up with some new gadgets from time to time, and they are not surprised that they are so powerful.

Even many people now think that Liu Tan made an excuse for playing with that wooden barrel, but he actually cast the spell himself.

However, Liu Tan didn't follow this time. Li Xi really felt the power of black powder. If he couldn't understand these things, he could only attribute it to the ability of God or the gods, and he was confused.

After thinking about this, Liu Tan couldn't laugh or cry, he thought that if he had known this, I might as well have followed, why don't you just abolish him as a general without doing anything?

Although Liu Tan had no idea, on the surface he said calmly, "Get him a bowl of calming soup."

After thinking for a while, he added another sentence: "Add an extra penny for Coptis chinensis."

When Wei Deng and Li Ling heard the word Anshen Decoction, their expressions were a little bit wrong, and they obviously couldn't stand the taste. After hearing that Liu Tan even asked people to add Coptis chinensis, they felt a little bad, and immediately put on their faces. Acting like we are okay and we are very energetic, I am afraid that we will be even sat down.

Not to mention, this bowl of calming soup really worked, but Liu Tan didn't know whether it was because of the effect of the medicine or because of the taste.

Li Xi's first reaction when he came back to his senses was to grab Liu Tan's arm and ask, "Your Highness... this thing, this thing will bring disaster to the world."

Liu Tan asked back, "Is there anyone else besides us?"

Li Xi froze for a moment: "No...no."

Liu Tan spread his hands: "That's right, how to use it is up to us, and whether it will become a disaster is up to us. What are you worried about?"

Li Xi slowly let go of his hand: "But... since this thing has appeared, it will be known to others sooner or later."

Liu Tan sat down and said: "That's the inevitability of historical development. We can't stop using them because of fear. In the past, human beings used stone tools at the beginning, and then began to smelt metals. If our ancestors gave up because of fear, I'm afraid everyone today Still sucking hair and drinking blood."

Li Xi came back to his senses, sat down for a long while before whispering: "Then... will the gods in the sky blame His Highness?"

Liu Tan almost broke the pen in his hand, with a murderous smile on his face: "It's okay, if they dare to make trouble, I'll strangle them all to death!"

Li Xi looked horrified:! ! !
