Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 168 Throw away when you run out?who!
Li Shimin still agrees with Li Zhi's proposal.

With the development of cast iron technology, the potential of coal has been gradually tapped.

High-temperature smelting technology is so important to the current Datang Dynasty that it can almost be regarded as a bellwether for future development.

Li Shimin had been hesitating whether to build a new city next to Renzhi Palace.

Now seeing Li Zhi confidently pointing out two locations, Li Shimin approved this plan after a little thought.

"Okay! I'll thank you for your hard work this time. I will discuss with Cen Aiqing again. If there is no problem after the discussion, then build cities in these two places!"

Building a new city is not a trivial matter. It needs to be discussed many times from various angles, and all the pros and cons of it have been clarified before construction can begin.

This is not something that can be decided by simply tapping the table. Li Zhi also knew this, so he didn't say anything more.

After expressing his views, Li Zhi saw that Li Shimin seemed to be deep in thought and asked tentatively: "Father, apart from these few things, do you have any other instructions?"

"Ah? Ah!"

Awakened by Li Zhi's words, Li Shimin froze for a moment.

Seeing that Li Zhi was still looking at him, waiting for his response, Li Shimin waved at him again and again: "It's okay, I came to you mainly to ask about the location of Jianxin City. If you have nothing else to do, you can go."

Li Zhi:? ? ?
Although the purpose of my asking this is indeed to leave.

But you are too ruthless, right?

Do you throw it away when you're done using it?
Who is this!
Li Zhi shook his head speechlessly.

Seeing Li Shimin sinking into deep thought again, he was too embarrassed to wake him up.

Li Zhi cursed a few words in his heart, stepped forward and turned around to leave.

The first step has been taken to increase the construction of county towns. The rest depends on whether there will be any problems in the specific implementation.

If there is no accident, Datang will continue to develop the city according to this idea when it encounters the problem of land shortage in the future.

This is a good thing for common people.

At least, they will not face the problem of insufficient farmland for the time being.

Once farmers' livelihoods are stable and money and food gradually accumulate in their hands, the population will steadily increase.

As the population goes up, the labor force will increase.

When the social labor force reaches a threshold, all walks of life can be supplemented with fresh blood, and then get opportunities for stable development.

After ten or twenty years, the Tang Dynasty will be in a different situation, right?

In terms of people's livelihood, let's leave it at that for now.

After the potatoes are cultivated, the potatoes will be promoted, and the development of agriculture has come to an end for the time being.

Thinking about the benefits brought by a stable society, Li Zhi walked out of the study and subconsciously walked to Li Mingda's room.

Every time he came to Ganlu Hall, he would stop by to see Li Mingda.

After all, she is her closest sister, so she needs to take a look at her.

Li Zhi quickly came to Li Mingda's boudoir, and when he arrived at the door of the boudoir, he felt something was wrong.

"Huh? Glass window?"

“It’s only been a few days since the glass was created.”

"Have you changed the paper windows into glass so quickly?"

The execution of the royal family is much higher than he expected.

I thought it would take at least two months before the glass could be applied to reality.

I never thought that even within a month, the Ganlu Palace would already use glass.

Perhaps this is the benefit of being a royal family.

Anything good can be used immediately.

With things in his mind, Li Zhi looked inside through the glass window.

I saw Li Mingda sitting in front of the dressing table, concentrating on doing the female work.

Seeing her serious expression, Li Zhi became interested, raised his finger and tapped lightly on the glass window.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

A dull sound suddenly sounded in the room, and Li Mingda was taken aback.

She looked up suddenly and saw a smirking face appearing outside the window, and stood up in surprise.

"Ninth Brother, are you here?"

Looking at people through the window gives people a very strange feeling.

It's as if the world outside the window has opened a non-existent passage, connecting the two sides.

There was a wonderful sense of surprise that filled Li Mingda's heart, which even made her forget that she was scared, and her delicate little face smiled like a flower.

"I have something to go to the palace, so I'll come and see you. You're busy with your business. I'll leave after I've seen it." Li Zhi smiled and waved to her, as if to leave.

When Li Mingda saw it, he quickly leaned against the window and said, "Why don't you come in and have a sit? It's hard to see one side."

"No, there are still some things at home that haven't been dealt with. Brother Jiu will take you out to play next time." Li Zhi declined with a smile, and waved to Li Mingda again.

Li Mingda let out a cute nasal voice in frustration, and his ruddy cherry mouth was slightly upturned.

But seeing the gentle smile on Li Zhi's face, he quickly adjusted his mood and waved to him hesitantly.

"Then I'll wait for you to come over next time and agree to take me out. It's a deal, okay?"

"It's a word."

Li Zhi smiled and nodded, winked at her playfully, and then walked away.

Originally, I came to say hello, but the glass attracted my attention.

Being able to see the glass window again in this era, Li Zhi also felt a subtle feeling.

"The feeling of saying hello through the glass is very nostalgic. It feels like a world away."

"I just don't know what it will feel like when those familiar things are engraved into this world one by one."

The antique building, with the clear and transparent glass, has no sense of disobedience.

On the contrary, it gave Li Zhi the illusion that he was visiting places of interest.

Although, this is not wrong.

But...how should I say it?

This feeling is very subtle, and he enjoys it very much.

"Isn't this girl not aware of the meaning of waving?"

"Seeing me waving at her, did you subconsciously understand the meaning of saying goodbye?"

Li Zhi shook his head amusedly, ready to go back and think about and improve the possible impact of building a new city.

But when he walked out of Chengtian Gate and was about to turn his head and rush home, he heard the sound of discussion in his ear, his attention was drawn to him, and he couldn't move anymore.

"Have you heard? The imperial court issued a decree to reward three craftsmen, and each of them rewarded a house, not to mention 1000 taels of silver, and also gave some honorary titles, some messy things, and being a craftsman these days It's so comfortable, why don't we have this treatment?"

"Don't talk about it! I really know this matter clearly. Those three people seem to have been entrusted by His Highness to create something extraordinary, so they have such a generous reward."

"Then what kind of amazing thing did you make to get such a great reward?"

"Have you heard of glass? That object seems to be one of them."
