PFC Chapter 195 Reorganization of Lijingmen
Chapter 195 Reorganization of Lijingmen
For the next few days, the entire palace was under high alert.
Temporary warehouses sprang up on the open space within the palace.
But even so, there are still many large objects that cannot be moved and can only be left there in the open air.
Various parts began to be shipped in batches to the imperial farm outside the city, including gun barrels that could be transported by horse-drawn carriages, seamless pipes and other steel materials.
Li Chengqian ordered the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to immediately start studying how to assemble the equipment.
As the only person who had some understanding of the working principles of modern lathes, he lived in the imperial manor during these days and stayed with the craftsmen all day long.
In order to protect these things from being leaked, Li Shimin directly mobilized 30,000 troops to surround the entire imperial farm.
All the people who originally worked in the imperial farm to farm for the royal family were relocated, leaving only a small number of trustworthy people.
In the following time, everyone started to work on their assigned tasks.
Hou Junji was in charge of the stainless steel coils. He started cutting them using scissors provided by later generations. The steel coils were delivered to the imperial farm in batches and the armor was made.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were responsible for the research on the assembly of flintlock spare parts, in an effort to form combat effectiveness before the war with Goguryeo began.
Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang were in charge of the crop seeds. They recruited good family sons with clean backgrounds to try planting them in the imperial farm. They did not immediately distribute them to the major families in Guanlong.
Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang were responsible for training new recruits in the use of various compound bows and crossbows, and arranged for craftsmen to make imitations.
Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie were responsible for organizing and transcribing the few remaining books.
Everyone has their own tasks, only Changsun Wuji has not been assigned his own responsibilities...
On the 20th day after returning to the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Wuji finally couldn't help but come to find Li Chengqian.
The steam locomotive lathe kit has been assembled in a decent manner by the unremitting efforts of the craftsmen during this period, but...
Li Chengqian looked at the many extra parts with a worried look on his face.
Because of the extra parts, the steam engine could not start.
There are not many parts left on the lathes, but without steam engine power, these lathes cannot be driven at all. It's difficult!
At this time, Changsun Wuji asked for a meeting outside the workshop.
Li Chengqian wiped the oil off his hands and said, "You guys continue to research. Whoever can install the remaining parts in the correct position will be rewarded with 100 coins for each one he installs correctly!"
One hundred coins!!
When the craftsmen heard the price, they immediately became motivated.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. We will do our best to assemble the steam lathe for Your Highness!!"
Li Chengqian dropped the hand towel and left the steam locomotive assembly workshop.
He was no longer able to assemble the lathe, and could only rely on these craftsmen to work day and night, hoping for a good result in the end.
When he came outside the house, Changsun Wuji waited with his head bowed, looking a little nervous.
After his experience of traveling to the future with Li Chengqian this time, he truly surrendered.
I fear this Crown Prince from the bottom of my heart.
"Your Highness, minister..."
Li Chengqian raised his lips and said, "Uncle, follow me."
He knew what Changsun Wuji was thinking. He just wanted to gain benefits or be assigned an important task.
But after these 20 days, everyone had their own things to do, and he was the only one left there.
This feeling is not pleasant, and it feels a bit isolated.
But this is exactly what Li Chengqian wanted.
Weren’t you, Changsun Wuji, a fence-sitter and a non-stick pan before?
That way you won’t be able to be a fence-sitter and you won’t be able to become a non-stick pan!
Let’s see how you can jump left and right!
Then we have to give you a clear idea of who is in charge in the Tang Dynasty today.
Who will be the one in charge in the future Tang Dynasty?
When the two returned to the palace, Li Shimin was discussing something with Fang Xuanling.
As soon as Fang Xuanling saw Changsun Wuji coming, he immediately put away the documents on the desk.
When Changsun Wuji saw this, his face darkened again!
Li Shimin and Li Chengqian looked at each other and both nodded slightly.
"Sir Fang, please make the arrangements as we just said and leave the palace first!" Li Shimin ordered.
Fang Xuanling stood up and bowed: "As you wish!!"
Changsun Wuji watched Fang Xuanling leave the Wude Hall, feeling very uneasy.
Li Chengqian sat next to Li Shimin and said, "You must have understood the code of conduct and internal system of the security departments in the future!!"
Li Shimin exclaimed: "You have thoroughly understood it. It is really comprehensive!"
"Of course it's true. This is a masterpiece that has absorbed the various advantages of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty and the Nianganchu of the Qing Dynasty, and added the later understanding of intelligence and national security!"
Changsun Wuji was confused when he heard this.
What Jinyiwei?
What is the sticky rod place?
And this intelligence and national security! ?
As he was thinking about it, Changsun Wuji suddenly realized that something was wrong!
Wouldn't it be that he was asked to take over Li Jing Clan? !
This is an offensive business. Are this father and son trying to walk themselves into the fire?
"Assistant, sit down and talk."
Chang Sun Wuji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin directly pushed a thick plan in front of Changsun Wuji.
"Let's see!"
Zhang Sun Wuji took the plan with trembling hands. There were a few big words on it.
"Tang Dynasty Security Department"! ?
"Your Majesty, this is..."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Take a look at the outline first, and then tell me what you think."
"yes....."
Changsun Wuji started reading the outline!
I don’t know, I’m scared.
This is actually a new department that combines domestic and foreign intelligence gathering, assassination of important figures, infiltration behind enemy lines and sabotage, and even surveillance of noble families, which were originally the responsibilities of Li Jingmen! !
It is a privileged department that only obeys the emperor and the crown prince and is above the three provinces and six ministries.
A huge organization that even has its own judiciary and army.
Especially regarding the deployment and assassination of spies against aristocratic families, if he were in charge of this department, wouldn't he be completely isolated from the aristocratic families, standing on the opposite side of all the aristocratic families?
After reading it, Changsun Wuji slowly closed the plan.
After taking a deep breath, he seemed to accept his fate and said, "I understand."
Li Chengqian said at this time: "Uncle, have you made up your mind?"
Changsun Wuji sighed: "Do I have any choice?"
Li Chengqian shook his head.
"Flow eastward!" Li Shimin shouted softly into the air.
A beardless eunuch walked out from the darkness: "Your Majesty..."
Li Shimin pointed at Changsun Wuji and said, "From now on, you will assist Lord Changsun in reorganizing the Lijing Sect. Remember, Lord Changsun is the Minister of Security of the Tang Dynasty. All matters must be approved by Lord Changsun before decrees can be issued. Do you hear me?"
"The slaves obey the order."
Changsun Wuji looked at Dongliu and knew very well that this was the emperor's confidant who was spying on him.
Although the so-called Minister of Security of the Tang Dynasty has great power, the person His Majesty truly trusts is this eunuch!
But it’s better this way. There is someone supervising me, and I don’t have to worry about being suspected.
This is also a way for Your Majesty to protect him in disguise.
