Putting aside how Li Muyun shook his husband, he said that in Li Er's palace on this day, several bigwigs were gathered together and looked at an eight-bull crossbow in a daze.
The eight-bull crossbow has been hung with crossbow strings, and it is in a state that can be fired at any time, and the thick crossbow gun is pointed obliquely into the air, which makes people feel creepy when they look at it.
Li Jing circled around the Eight Bull Crossbow a few times, touching one from time to time, and finally asked with some doubts: "Your Majesty, there seems to be no problem with the crossbow in the past eight years, I don't know what your purpose is to let people move it over."
"Of course, there is no problem with this crossbow, but the absence of problems is also the biggest problem."
Li Shimin pointed to the eight-bull crossbow and said: "For more than a hundred years, since the former Sui Dynasty, this crossbow has been like this, haven't you ever thought about changing this thing." ” "Change, this should be a matter of being a prisoner," Chai Shao said, rubbing his chin.
Li Shimin nodded approvingly, and then threw out a booklet: "I really want to change it, but you'd better take a look at this first." ” "What is this" The booklet is not big, nor is it very thick, Chai Fuma took it casually, opened it lightly, and immediately frowned: "Improve the process, this is written by King Xiaoyao" "Who else but him, some time ago he promised to sell cement to Goguryeo, so I asked him how to solve the problem of Goguryeo building a city with cement, and he suggested that I improve the armament."
Hou Junji was hot, and he blew up at the time: "It's nonsense to improve armaments, these equipment have been used for dozens or hundreds of years, and I don't see any problems, he can change it in a word, it's so easy." ” Li Shimin waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "You don't have to tell me about this, when Mu Yun comes in a while, you can collectively suppress him." ” The old guys who suppressed him looked at each other, and the guy who stirred up three points unreasonably could be suppressed by ordinary people Just thinking about it, the footsteps outside sounded, Li Muyun held a teapot, and appeared in front of everyone, dressed casually, looking like he was going out for an outing, he saw everyone from afar, and greeted: "Oh, it's all here, Brother Huang, you look so good today." ” "Well, it's coming" Li Shimin glanced at his righteous brother helplessly, pointed to a few old subordinates and said: "Tell them what you think, if they all agree, just follow your wishes, otherwise you will honestly go back to stay for me." ” Li Muyun put the teapot in his hand on the Eight Bull Crossbow, and said confidently: "What is there to say about this, Brother Huang, the times are progressing, society is developing, and the military must not stand still, it is an old thing of more than a hundred years, how can it be changed." ” "What the king of the county said is a bit exaggerated, as long as the thing is easy to use, it's okay to change it like something."
"Yes, if you get new weapons and equipment now, what will happen to these old things, you can't all eliminate them, it's all money."
"At present, there are no less than 5,000 crossbows in the country, not to mention other siege and defensive equipment, which require a lot of money, King Xiaoyao, these will not come out of you."
The so-called one stone hits a thousand waves, and after Li Muyun finished speaking, he immediately attracted a counterattack from the veteran ruffians, and they spoke as if they wanted to eat people.
Li Muyun looked down on these old goods who didn't want to be motivated, and rolled his eyes and said: "Even if it costs money, this kind of thing must be done with armaments, if you don't do it, I won't do it, I'm afraid that we are still using bows and arrows made of animal bones and spears made of stone." ” "Even so, you don't have to change everything like you said" Li Jing didn't speak just now, but stood up at this time.
For Li Muyun, Li Jing is neither close nor estranged, but he is not used to seeing him express his meaning indiscriminately like this, and he does not care about the consequences at all.
Fortunately, the latter also wanted to have a good relationship with Li Jing, and when he saw him stand up, he said without thinking about it: "The development of weapons is the fundamental driving force for social development, how can we ensure the stability and unity of the country without good weapons, how can we defend against the invasion of foreign enemies without good weapons, and the value of the existence of weapons is not measured by money, but also related to the people's trust in the country." ” This seems to be a bit too, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched wildly, he couldn't have imagined that Li Muyun would put the updated equipment on the platform to such an extent.
Li Jing was also a little speechless, he did not deny that weapons and equipment can make the people more at ease with this country, but now the discussion is whether it is necessary to update the equipment, and the people who discuss weapons with you use them.
Seeing the disdainful expression on his face, Li Muyun shook his head in disappointment: "Actually, you don't have to believe it, the reason why I suggested that the imperial brother replace the existing equipment is also well-intentioned." ” "What kind intentions, let's hear how about it."
Hou Junji said angrily.
"Okay, then let's talk about it."
Li Muyun said as he patted the eight bull crossbow beside him: "I believe that you are familiar with this thing, I want to ask now, if this thing is broken, how long will it take to repair it." ” "Then it depends on what is bad, if the bowstring is broken, just replace it."
Hou Junji, as a veteran of the battlefield, such a problem is obviously difficult for him.
But Li Muyun didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and continued to ask after his words: "In this case, I want to ask, how long is this broken bowstring, how long can it withstand and how long it will take to replace it?"
"This" Hou Junji was instantly dumbfounded, he was a general, not an auxiliary army, in his opinion, he only needed to give orders, as for when things could be repaired, what were the specific parameters of the equipment, it had nothing to do with him.
Li Muyun saw that Hou Junji couldn't answer, so he didn't ask any further, but changed to another question: "The problem of the bowstring is also a trivial matter, and it can always be replaced with some effort, but if it is broken in other places, such as the bow arm, such as the frame used for support, these things are broken, can they still be repaired?"
Li Jing shook his head and replied: "If the bow arm is broken, it can naturally be repaired, but if the frame is broken, it will be completely broken, and there is no way to repair it." ” Hou Junji gritted his teeth for a long time, and asked in a muffled voice: "King Xiaoyaojun, since you asked like this, you won't say that what you are going to study will not be broken, right?"
Yes, after asking the question of how to repair the damaged equipment for a long time, presumably this Xiaoyao County King should have an answer, or a solution, otherwise he should not have asked like this.
The somewhat dumb old people who were asked together reacted one by two, and they all turned their eyes to Li Muyun, waiting to see how he answered
