Datang little husband

Chapter 40 The Emperor's Vision

"Your Majesty, there is a report from the guards outside the palace gate, saying that Her Royal Highness Princess Changguang has sent a team of craftsmen to renovate the palace for the Empress and the Supreme Emperor!" Wang De came to Li Shimin and carefully delivered the news to Li Shimin.

"What? Renovate the dormitory! This Xiner is really real. There are people who renovate the dormitory in winter, but people are here, so take them to the queen's dormitory. You let the queen go to change the place first, and then you keep an eye on it." Okay, okay, call me, I'm here to see, what is this Xiner going to do!" Li Shimin heard Wang De's report, after muttering a few words in a low voice, he ordered Wang De to deal with it.

After receiving the order, Wang De hurriedly bowed out, and called a young eunuch, and asked him to go outside the palace gate to bring the craftsmen to the Lizheng Hall, while he himself rushed to the Lizheng Hall.

When they arrived at the Lizheng Hall, Wang De explained the situation, and after Changsun Wugou understood, he left his palace with a few of his personal maids.

On the other side, the craftsmen who came from the Du Mansion, after the little eunuch who came to pick them up taught them the rules of the palace, then led them into the palace through the passage where the eunuchs walked. Not a single sound was made.

After arriving at the place, they immediately began to work under the command of Wang De and the eldest grandson Wugou's court lady.

And because there were a lot of people coming, and they only started construction in one side of the Lizheng Palace, the construction speed was very fast. In less than half a day, in the entire hall, the firewall, thermal insulation wall, heated Kang, etc. were all under construction. complete.

It was not until the completion of the construction that Wang De asked about the specific function of the heated kang. This should have been mentioned before the construction, but those craftsmen were taught in the Du Mansion that after entering the palace, they were only allowed to work and not to speak. In addition, he was warned before entering the palace.

But Wang De and the others didn't ask, so it turned out that the supervisor didn't know what it was doing, and the worker didn't dare to say it.

Now Wang De asked, Xu Bao, the leader, quickly explained to Wang De the function of the heated kang.

When Wang De heard Xu Bao's explanation, he was stunned. He really didn't expect such a miraculous thing in this world.

But Wang De was even more surprised when he learned that the Du Mansion had been in use since late autumn, and that the entire mansion and all the servants were also in use.

Originally, Wang De was going to ask Xu Bao to light the fire immediately, to try the effect of the heating kang.

But when Xu Bao told him that after the heated kang was ready, it would take at least a day or two to dry in the shade, Wang De gave up.

But such a big matter, Wang De didn't dare to hide anything, he first asked Xu Bao and the others to take a rest, and then he went to see Li Shimin immediately.

And when Li Shimin received Wang De's report, his whole face was shocked, and he immediately asked Wang De to call Xu Bao to meet him.

When Xu Bao arrived and told Li Shimin something, Li Shimin was so excited that he even called God Bless the Tang Dynasty in front of all the court ladies and eunuchs, especially when Li Shimin learned from Xu Bao that the whole heated kang The cost is not high, even ordinary people can use it, Li Shimin was so excited!

At this moment, Li Shimin seemed to see that in the future Tang Dynasty, no people would freeze to death because of the too cold winter.

Even Li Shimin, who had quite a strategic vision, had already set his sights on Goguryeo, which made Emperor Yang of Sui conquer three times.

And what he thinks is not that we are going to defeat Goguryeo, but how we can completely occupy it after the defeat.

Because of defeating Goguryeo, in Li Shimin's opinion, as long as he is given time, he will definitely be able to do it. After all, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty has already walked him three times in a row. To win Goguryeo, he might as well be killed.

But what to do after taking down Goguryeo, this is a question that has always troubled Li Shimin.

Because the winter in Goguryeo is too cold and too long, it is not suitable for garrisoning troops at all, but if there is no garrisoning troops, it is meaningless to take down Goguryeo.

But now with the emergence of Ondol, Li Shimin sees hope, a hope that the Tang Dynasty can completely occupy Goguryeo, not only Goguryeo, but even Silla and Baekje will become the new territory of the Tang Dynasty, not a subsidiary state.

At the same time, Li Shimin was also a little annoyed, because if this heated kang had appeared a year earlier, he would not have chosen to treat the Turks with tolerance when dealing with the Eastern Turks.

And these are just the answers Li Shimin came up with after hearing Wang De's report. If Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others are called together, maybe they can come up with more ideas.

But it's too late now, of course it's not that Li Shimin just gave up, but he's thinking about what excuses he will find in the future.

But compared to these, Li Shimin now wants to know what happened to Du He, who has come up with so many good things one after another.

"Your Majesty, the old slave would like to ask you to show me, what about the Supreme Emperor?"

"It turned out to be the wish of Princess Changguang and the son-in-law, so let them go to the palace of the Supreme Emperor and build such a heated kang for the Supreme Emperor! And not only the Supreme Emperor will build it, but also the sleeping palaces of the Crown Prince, Concubine Yang, and Concubine Yin. Build one for all, and by the way, the palaces of the princes and princesses, too, let’s build it in the Yeting Palace as well! As for you eunuchs and court ladies, let’s start building it in the spring of next year! Wang De will leave this matter to you !" Li Shimin glared at Wang De when he heard Wang De's words, but in the end he thought about it, this is a good opportunity to buy people's hearts with favor, so he gave Wang De an order.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang De immediately knelt down to thank him when he heard that there was still such a good thing.

And just when the two master and servant were playing to each other, in Du's residence, Liu Fu was also busy flying up there.

And all this was because of an order from Du He, that is, Du He asked Liu Fu to immediately form a team to transform the heated kang, go to Chang'an City to accept orders for him to build the heated kang, and use this technology to make a lot of money.

Originally, the matter was not so urgent, and Du He also used this idea of ​​making money before, but he never implemented it because he wanted to organize them after he conquered the farmers of the manor.

But now that Li Xin is so sleepy, if she doesn't act, it will really be a problem to drink soup.

As for how to take orders, it is obviously unrealistic to bring people to the manor to see the actual effect, but they can find a place in Chang'an City and build such a place as a model room and experience room.

As long as the people see the effect, are you afraid that you won't get the list?
That's why the whole mansion is so busy now.
