I want to build roads, I want to build cars! "
This was the first thing Li Shimin said after getting off the car.
It used to be that everyone envied Tang Ping's pickup truck, but that car couldn't be bought or built, so everyone had no other thoughts, but things are different now.
This is a car that Datang can build itself.
Although it might cost a lot in the early stage, Li Shimin knew how huge the benefits of this thing would be to Datang.
There is a shortage of horses in the Central Plains. Even now that the Turks have surrendered, there is still a shortage of horses.
Of course, there is also a shortage of cattle, otherwise even a prince like Cheng Zhijie who wants to eat cattle would not have to arrange in advance for his own cattle to accidentally slip and fall to death.
Li Shimin believed that the territory of the Tang Dynasty would only become larger and larger in the future, and convenient transportation methods would become more and more important.
If we have this kind of steam car, we can save a lot of cattle and horses.
Not to mention anything else, for example, the Tang Dynasty is now sending troops to the border of Longyou Road to attack Tuyuhun.
If there is a large army, then more than 10,000 people will be needed just to be responsible for the logistics and food supplies. If these more than 10,000 people send food from Chang'an to the border, they will eat almost half of it on the way back and forth, and the speed is still slow.
And if it is changed to this kind of vehicle transportation, then a convoy plus escorts, a thousand people is enough, and the speed can be several times faster.
According to Tang Ping's introduction, this kind of vehicle will be slowly modified in the future, and it may not be unable to be used in combat.
After all, it is made of steel. If the cavalry is charging into battle, if the car is equipped with a ramming horn on the front and a sharp blade on the side, it will be like a battlefield meat grinder.
There is also the Tang Dynasty Shenwei Cannon. I thought it was too bulky at first, but what if it is combined with this kind of car?
Mobility will be greatly increased, and mobile artillery vehicles will inevitably have a greater impact on the battlefield.
It is used in farming. As long as the terrain is flat, this thing can plow much faster than an ox.
One car can carry more than ten cows!
Not only can it be used on land, Tang Ping said that if this steam engine is installed in a ship, it will have no problem even going upstream.
There are so many benefits!
After all the ministers came back from sitting in a circle, Li Shimin said loudly: "Tang Ping has made great contributions to building cement roads and building steam vehicles. I want to make him the Duke of Ping. Do you have any opinions?"
Everyone was shocked, this prince was not so easy to seal.
But when you think about Tang Ping's achievements, it seems like it's nothing to be granted the title of Duke, right?
Wei Zheng thought

The advice is not that Tang Ping's attack is not qualified, but that Tang Ping is too young. If he is granted the title of Duke now, he will not be able to be granted the title in the future.
But then I thought about it and let it go. Tang Ping is so lazy. Have you ever seen a prince who couldn't go to court once every two or three months?
Who dares to go to the Yamen Dianmaodu once or twice a week?
Your Majesty gave him this reward, not so much for Tang Ping, but for other people to see. After all, the way to serve is to clearly distinguish rewards and punishments.
Tang Ping's achievements like this would be hard to convince the public if he were not rewarded!
"The two brothers Wang Tieniu and Wang Tongniu, the craftsmen of Shanghe Village, are highly skilled in craftsmanship. They are special craftsmen and enjoy the treatment. The head wife of the family is granted the title of Mrs. Haoming of the sixth grade."
Over there, the two brothers Wang Tieniu had just been awakened by the sound of a steam locomotive outside. In the past three days, the two of them probably slept for an hour in total.
They were extremely sleepy at first, but when they heard Li Shimin's reward, the two of them did not come up to express gratitude, but looked at each other.
"Brother, are we dreaming?"
"Nonsense, don't dream. How can you, a country craftsman, become an official? You must know that our county magistrate is only a seventh-grade official!"
"Yes, I heard that in Zhongzhou, Sima and other high-ranking officials in the Imperial Protectorate had to go to Nirvana. We must have been asleep and dreaming."
"Then go back and take a nap. Get up later and see if there is anything that can be adjusted. After all, we can't lose the face of the proprietor."
"Big brother said yes, let's go back to sleep!"
After saying that, the two staggered back to the corner where they slept, fell down and fell asleep.
A group of important officials were stunned.
Li Shimin, on the other hand, said without any grudges: "Publish the achievements of these two people through Di Bao and Datang Weekly."
He now realizes that technology is the primary productive force according to Tang Pingyuan.
To build a car, whether it is iron-making, steel-making or building a steam engine, it is inseparable from craftsmen. The two brothers Wang Tieniu were given such a high reward at once, just to show the craftsmen all over the world that as long as you can make achievements, you will be successful. Even if you are not a scholar, you can still be an official and you can still honor your ancestors.
Tang Ping was even happier that Wang Tieniu and his brothers had received the title than he himself had received the title of Duke.
To him, is there any difference between a Duke and a Marquis? Not at all. If you don't have to go to court or go to the Yamen, he will thank you even if you give him official positions and titles.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But he also understood that this was Li Shimin's method of employing people. If he refused, it would be a loss of face for others.
The brothers Li Shimin really loved them as their own nephews. Tang Ping, who had not felt much family affection since he was a child, cherished this very much.
Li Shimin originally wanted to drive the car away, but Tang Ping said that since this car was the first one made and it was given to him, he naturally wanted to build it well.
Li Shimin thought about it. The car now only had a frame, but no decorations. It looked a little shabby, so he turned to Duan Lun and told Duan Lun that he would send a few craftsmen to take care of it tomorrow.
The main reason is that if they want to meet the status of the royal family, Brother Wang Tieniu is not so clear about many of the above things. It is better to directly ask the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to come over and do it. At the same time, the two of them can pass on the technology of building steam engines.
After all, if Datang wants to build steam locomotives in the future, it’s impossible for just the two of them to build them, right?
Of course, the Ministry of Works was also praised by Li Shimin. After all, those kilns for burning coke and lime were built with the cooperation of the Ministry of Works.
Otherwise, how could old man Duan Lun have the confidence to get on the bus and sit next to Li Shimin today?
Satisfied, Li Shimin planned to celebrate. He hadn't eaten just now, so naturally they went directly to Tang Ping's convenience store to make hot pot.
When leading him out, Tang Ping called the wives of the two brothers Wang Tieniu and took him back to have a good rest.
After hearing what Tang Ping said, the two daughters-in-law were stunned.
You must know that the two of them often help Tang Ping make things for free, so sometimes they naturally earn less than other people in the village, and they also have to do more things at home with the two women.
Although everyone's good life is given by Tang Ping, and they will never blame Tang Ping, but watching the people next door buy this today and that tomorrow, as time goes by, when the couple has a quarrel at home, the two Women are more or less capable of complaining.
Finally, my dear, these two stupid men in my family became high officials without saying a word?
Both of them have become Mrs. Haoming, sixth grade. Isn't that greater than the county magistrate?
When the county magistrate sees them, should he bow to them?
If Tang Ping hadn't come forward to talk about this, the two of them would have thought they were dreaming, just like the two sleeping at the foot of the wall.
