Chapter seven hundred and eighty the gun came out
Finally, after some careful consideration, Zhang Nan decided not to go to Taiyuan because it was a bit dangerous. After all, Zhang Nan had to consider himself now. Although he still looked like a giant in the aristocratic family and was still untouchable, Zhang Nan believed that with a complete education system, the end of the aristocratic family was only a matter of time.
Zhang Nan still decided to let him develop naturally. After all, time is the real answer. This family that can influence the court will eventually perish with the end of the imperial system. This is a historical necessity.
Therefore, Zhang Nan was unwilling to dominate the direction of history by himself. After all, it would be better for this kind of thing to develop slowly according to time. Zhang Nan never thought that the Tang Dynasty would last forever.
However, what Zhang Nan did not expect was that when Comrade Li Er went to court the next day, he chose to ignore this matter, as if it had never happened.
This surprised Zhang Nan. After all, Comrade Li Er seemed to be about to let out his thunderous anger. How could he think it would be the result of heavy thunder and small rain?
However, seeing that Comrade Li Er's confidants looked like they were used to it, Zhang Nan decided not to get involved in this matter anymore. Moreover, Comrade Li Er did not mention anything about letting Zhang Nan be the prefect of Taiyuan, and Zhang Nan was also happy to be idle.
In the next few days, Zhang Nan was still staying in the Ministry of Heavenly Works, but the Ministry of Heavenly Works gave Zhang Nan a small surprise.
That is, the Ministry of Tiangong successfully created a thermal weapon, and skipped the simplest musket and jumped directly to the fire gun, which was completely unexpected by Zhang Nan.
After all, when Zhang Nan went to Tiangong Department last time, the Tiangong Department had not even made a musket, so he took out a sophisticated fire gun, which was something Zhang Nan never expected.
After Zhang Nan learned the news, Zhang Nan immediately entered the palace.
"Emperor, the Ministry of Heavenly Works has a good thing. I wonder if the emperor is interested in taking a look?" Zhang Nan said to Comrade Li Er with a mysterious look on his face.
At this time, Comrade Li Er was accompanying Empress Changsun to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden. When he heard Zhang Nan say this, Comrade Li Er asked without even looking back: "Why, what has the Tiangong Ministry made? You can call it a good thing."
"Good things are good things. If the emperor is not interested, it's fine. But I'll tell you, with this thing, our Tang army can basically reduce its military strength by half and its combat effectiveness will not be reduced. You can do it, your master." After Zhang Nan said that, he stood aside and stopped talking.
Zhang Nan knew that Li Er would definitely be moved when he heard this result, because in addition to the infrastructure of the Tang Dynasty, the army of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the second largest expenditure, and it is even comparable to the infrastructure of the Tang Dynasty. This makes Comrade Li Er a headache.
As a general of the three armies, Comrade Li Er naturally hopes that the more troops he has, the better, but as an emperor, Comrade Li Er has some headaches for this huge army.
Nothing else, it's just the word "money".
Basically, every penny of copper coins in the Tang Dynasty was cut out from the national treasury. When recruiting soldiers in the past, Li Er always had a headache that this soldier could not be recruited, but now it is different. Through the reform of the military system, soldiers are no longer a thankless existence, but have become a respected profession.
This has made many young people of the right age who have never studied so much, not to mention that there is a military academy brand that can support it, and it has attracted many young people who want to make achievements.
So the Tang Dynasty can be said to be overtroductory, and even slowed down the economic development of the Tang Dynasty. However, Li Er did not dare to dismiss these people. After all, these are all real combat power and are all existences who can take up weapons to defend their country. Li Er was also unwilling to let go easily.
Now Zhang Nan suddenly said that the Tiangong Department has created something that can cut off ordinary troops and maintain its combat effectiveness. How could Comrade Li Er not be moved?
Sure enough, after listening to Zhang Nan's words, not only Comrade Li Er, but also Empress Sun, the company commander, showed a look of surprise.
"Qingquan, what you said is a bit too big. Can you still maintain your combat effectiveness by reducing half of your troops?" Empress Changsun obviously didn't believe that Zhang Nan said such unreliable words with her mouth.
"The Queen is only something you can't imagine. There is nothing that can't be done. Before the hot air balloon comes out, don't you believe that people cannot fly?" Zhang Nan said with a smile.
"Okay, don't keep it here. Just say whatever the Ministry of Heavenly Engineering has created." Li Er waved his hand and signaled Zhang Nan not to be too much, just add the real goods.
Zhang Nan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, don't worry about being too late for this good meal. I'll ask you first, do you remember the thing that I gave to Jin Shengman when we were in Silla?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Li Er said with a blank look at Zhang Nan. How could Li Er forget about this desert eagle? Comrade Li Er was thinking about this desert eagle for a long time at the beginning, but because of time and the war, Comrade Li Er finally let Zhang Nan go and did not continue to ask more questions.
But this thing that could put people in a few steps was extremely popular.
Zhang Nan was bored and was not discouraged. Instead, he continued: "Have the emperor ever thought that our Tiangong Department could also create this thing?"
After hearing Zhang Nan's words, Li Er stood up from the stone bench in the Imperial Garden, then quickly walked to Zhang Nan's side, shook his hands with Zhang Nan's arms and said, "Qingquan, what you said is true?"
Zhang Nan was dizzy by Li Er, but he still said: "That's natural. Although that thing is not as advanced as the minister has taken it out, it's almost done. Is the emperor interested in going to take a look?"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up." Li Er urged.
"Okay, let's go now?" Zhang Nan said.
"Let's go, Liu Bing, prepare your horse for me quickly. No, there is no need to prepare your horse. Let's drive over. I'll take the bus over." Li Er said impatiently.
There is nothing big on weekdays, so Comrade Li Er will not move his car. After all, that thing is made of gasoline, and only Zhang Nan has this gasoline. Although Li Er asked Zhang Nan for it, it would be impossible for Zhang Nan to refuse to give it to him.
But Li Er couldn't help but ask Zhang Nan every time he asked him, so when it was not a major event, Comrade Li Er would not take a car. When traveling on weekdays, Comrade Li Er would still choose a carriage, which is very low-carbon.
