Zhang Feng naturally knew that what he said was not true.
However, he did not know where the iron mine was. He only heard that there was a super-large iron mine in Luochuan.
Zhang Feng patted his chest and said, "If there isn't, we'll do whatever you say."
"Okay, that's enough. Guizi, did you hear that? Send people to Longshou Mountain to find it immediately! "
"Yes!"
Li Shimin was not careless. He made a prompt decision to transfer people out.
If there really was an iron mine.
If there was an iron mine above and a coal mine below, the five families and seven major clans would not be able to suppress the military enterprises of the Tang Dynasty and the production and living of the people.
This was really good news for Li Shimin. He could not help but be excited.
Qiuci City was still waiting for military supplies. Although he had secretly gathered hundreds of skilled blacksmiths and smelters in the Tang Dynasty, he still could not replace the triangular bayonets for all the soldiers.
Not to mention, the firearms that Zhang Feng mentioned were still in the process of developing the parts.
Even if he wanted to deal with the five families and seven major clans, he had to have something to take out. At the very least, with the iron mine and coal mine, he would have a strong army of his own.
This was the most important thing.
With military power in his hands, who would Li Shimin be afraid of?
However, the most frightening thing was still the problem of resources. Once there was a shortage of iron, the forging workshop on the mountain would stop working for a day. This would be a huge loss.
He could not afford to lose it.
He could not afford to wait.
He could not afford to wait.
In addition, the situation on Zhen La's side and Tubo's side could not be relaxed.
Once the news that the five families and seven major clans had blocked the iron mine of the Tang Dynasty spread, then …
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin could not help but ask worriedly, "Fengzi, doesn't that mean that the firearms … the forging workshop on the mountain will also go on strike?"
"It can't be, right?" Zhang Feng wasn't sure.
"I remember that I went there yesterday and saw that there was a lot of iron ore and scrap iron. It shouldn't stop production. You can rest assured about that. However, where is the sword you promised to give me, Yang Guang's personal sword?"
When Li Shimin said this, Zhang Feng remembered this matter again and asked.
Li Shimin was stunned. Only then did he remember this matter.
He laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry. Next time, I won't wait for you to open the academy. How about I personally send you up the mountain? We should be nearing the Great Pass by now … "
Zhang Feng was speechless.
But he didn't force it.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about it." Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "You should be aware of the current situation. If the Indian and Tubo Turks know about this, the 100,000 soldiers in Qiuci will probably be isolated … The southern gate of the Tang Dynasty will be wide open. Firearms … any signs?"
"Yes, yes. Don't rush me. In ten days, at most ten days, I'll be able to get it done …"
Zhang Feng was a little guilty.
Previously, he had indeed patted his chest and promised that he would be able to get it done before the academy opened.
But he didn't expect this thing to be so complicated. Without the help of the advanced technology of the future, it was completely manual production. It was simply a waste of time.
But he had no other choice. Who asked this matter to be so difficult to handle?
At this time, the seamless barrel of the firearms had just been developed and was still in the state of being polished.
After thinking of many ways, he had no choice but to use a waterwheel and sand to make a model of a perpetual motion machine. Only then did this matter stabilize.
As for the manufacturing of the gun bolt and other complicated things, although he had handed it over to Arkinnon, it was still Zhang Feng who took care of the tedious matters.
As for the locksmiths …
Proud and arrogant, they were kicked down the mountain by Zhang Feng the next day.
You motherf * cker, you don't do anything. If everything is right, what does Lao Tzu need you for?
But Li Shimin was still a little worried. After all, Zhang Feng's expression was a little evasive.
He asked uncertainly, "Fengzi, are you sure? This matter can't be joked about! "
"I swear, it's true!"
Zhang Feng hurriedly said with certainty.
Then, Zhang Feng hurriedly interrupted, "Well, I still have things to do on the mountain. You guys talk first, I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, Zhang Feng wanted to slip away, but Li Shimin had already seen through everything and stopped him.
"Oh right, I still have things to do. This is just one of them. Take a look at this thing called asphalt of yours. Can you give me the recipe? After all, the place where I live now is still … "
"Sure! Go back and tell your son that this matter is under his management, but don't think about the asphalt for now. That thing can wait until I find the asphalt mine. At this time, this is not enough for me to use on the mountain. As for the cement, you can get as much as you want. I have a lot of it here. I really have something to do, Lao Li, I'll leave first! "
While saying that, Zhang Feng hurriedly slipped away while Li Shimin was still in a daze.
He had to run.
The Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet was the day after tomorrow.
Once the meet ended, it would be the day of the opening of the school.
Adding up the whole process, it was less than five days. If he did not give it his all in five days, how could he get the firearms?
Damn it.
He was too careless!
