"What's wrong with going? Is it difficult because their national strength is too strong? It's okay. We are going to do business, not to go to war. Qingquan, you don't have to worry." After Li Er said that, waiting for Zhang Nan to give himself a definite answer.

"It's not because of the country's problems, the emperor can tell the difficulties of navigation." Zhang Nan said seriously.

Li Er shook his head. After all, Li Er has lived for so many years and has not had any experience in sea battles, so he is not clear about the dangers of long-term sea navigation.

"It's not as simple as everyone's thinking about sailing on the sea, especially if we may not be able to rely on the shore for a few months, and it's even more difficult. When we walk on land, we can identify the direction through the sun and stars. If it's cloudy, we can identify the direction by relying on other things, but sailing is not possible. If we encounter rainy weather, how should we identify the direction? If there is no clear direction, we will never reach the destination in our lifetime." Zhang Nan said.

Seeing Li Er revealing a thoughtful expression, Zhang Nan continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"And our current large ships mainly rely on manpower and wind power to sail. However, there will be wind and waves on the sea, and one wave can even break up the ship. If we encounter storms, human ships will be unable to move on the sea. If we encounter these things, it will undoubtedly increase the time of navigation. The longer we stay in the sea, the greater the risk. It is not an exaggeration to sail to be called a life-threatening life." Zhang Nan said.

After hearing this, Li Er nodded, but Li Er still didn't want to give up his idea of ​​going to sea.

"Your Majesty, I am not afraid of death. I hope the emperor can let me go out to sea and bring these things back." Niu Jinda stood up and said.

Zhang Nan looked at Niu Jinda's fearless look and felt a sudden headache. No matter when, there will always be warriors who are not afraid of death.

"General Niu, I admire your courage very much, but this kind of thing cannot be solved without fear of death." Zhang Nan said.

"Okay, Qingquan, just tell me directly what I should do to get these things. As long as I can get what you said, I want money and people to give it to others, even if I launch a war for it, I will do whatever I want." Li Erdao.

In the past, if Li Er said that he would use troops to the point of being in the court, there would definitely be 80% of the opposition voices in opposition, and 20% of the supporting voices were Li Er's loyal support and war madman.

But this time, Li Er said that he would launch a war, and the court was surprisingly quiet. Even the censor group that opposed the war most in the past collectively banned the voices, and there was no opponent, which surprised Zhang Nan.

"Your Majesty, I still say the same thing, do scientific research, and when we make the steam engine, we will start the era of great navigation." Zhang Nan went around and hoped that Li Er could agree to his strategy of building a country with science and technology.

"Okay, I will issue an imperial list to the major prefectures and prefectures of our Tang Dynasty tomorrow and recruit all the craftsmen who are good at skill in the Tang Dynasty. From now on, I will establish a new "Tiangong Department" in the Tang Dynasty. This department is specially used to invent tricks and improve tricks. Are you satisfied with Qingquan?" Li Er finally compromised in front of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes.

"I am satisfied with it, of course I am satisfied, but I still want two people to assist me in establishing this Tiangong Department." Zhang Nan saw Li Er agreeing and immediately said with a smile.

"I said, I want money to pay, people to give it to people. Tell me, who do you want?" Li Er is also very happy now. As long as the Tiangong Ministry is established one day earlier, then you can find these foods that yield 30 stones per mu.

"The chief of the Taishi Bureau Yuan Tiangang, and the chief clerk Li Chunfeng, also said.

In fact, Zhang Nan liked these two people, and there was nothing else, mainly because they were both Taoist priests. Zhang Nan thought that it would be more convenient for these two people to learn chemistry. If he gave them some simple chemistry textbooks, their ability to accept would definitely be much better than that of others.

"Okay, from today on, you will be in charge of the two of them." Li Er said generously.

"Wait, yourselves, I have something to report." Wei Zheng stood up and said.

"Oh? What's the matter with you? Just say it's just that, don't you agree to establish this Tiangong Department." Li Er thought this way, but it makes sense. After all, Wei Zheng likes to sing opposite to himself every time, but this time Li Er does not intend to give Wei Zheng a chance to sing a different tune. If Wei Zheng is unwilling, Li Er can only use the imperial power and force the Tiangong Department to establish it.

"I agree very much with the establishment of this Tiangong Ministry. After all, this is a matter that is beneficial to our Tang Dynasty. As long as it is beneficial to our Tang Dynasty, I will definitely agree." Wei Zheng bowed.

"Then tell me what's wrong with you." Li Er couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Wei Zheng agreeing.

"I dare to ask the emperor, who is going to subscribe to this Tiangong Department?" Wei Zheng asked.

"Of course it's the Ministry of Works." Li Er said naturally.

"I will ask the emperor again, who is responsible for the Tiangong Department?" Wei Zheng continued to ask.

"Of course it's Qingquan. I think no one except Qingquan can handle the Ministry of Heaven and Works," Li Er said.

"I think so too, but the emperor, Lord Zhang has now become the director of the fourth-rank Labor Reform Bureau and has already held a heavy position in the Ministry of War. If this Ministry of Heavenly Works is established, it will definitely be one of the important departments of the Ministry of Works. This person also holds important positions in the Ministry of Wars. This is an unprecedented precedent." Wei Zheng said.

In fact, what Wei Zheng said was also right. Before the Turkic prisoners came, everyone did not care about this department. However, after 100,000 Turkic prisoners arrived, everyone realized that the labor reform bureau was so important, and this importance would continue.

Now that Li Er has established this Tiangong Ministry, who can know whether this Tiangong Ministry will become the next labor reform bureau of the Tang Dynasty?

Li Eryi thought that this was indeed the case, but he just took Zhang Nan, the director of the Labor Reform Bureau, and Li Er could not find someone he trusted to take this important position. For a moment, Li Er was in a dilemma.

"Emperor, I think the emperor should give me the position of the director of the Labor Reform Bureau to others. After all, I will definitely be too busy when the Ministry of Heavenly Works is established, so I hope the emperor will find someone to replace me." Zhang Nan was worried for Li Er at the right time.

"Oh? It's great to know Qingquan so well, but I don't have a good candidate for a while. Can anyone recommend me, my dear friends?" Li Er asked.

"I think Du He, the second son of Du Ruhui, can take over my work. During this period of time in the Labor Reform Bureau, Du He has been helping me again. Du He is fully qualified for the operation of the Labor Reform Bureau." Zhang Nan continued to bow and said, no matter what, Du He is also his apprentice, and Zhang Nanquan regarded it as seeking benefits for his apprentice.
