I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Did you take advantage of me as soon as you came up?

Li Mu was upset, pouted and replied, "Hello, Lao Li."

"..."

"It's called Second Uncle."

"Good old Li."

Li Shimin was so angry that he almost lost his temper. He smiled wryly, shook his head, and simply accepted his title.

"Lao Li, come in, it's hot outside, don't get sunburned."

It was scorching summer, the weather was hot, and it hadn't rained for a long time.

It is said that the drought has begun to appear in Henan.

The land cannot grow food, the price of food has risen, and many people have even starved to death.

If there is no more rain, the disaster will spread to Guanzhong, and the situation will be much more serious by then.

Moreover, droughts are prone to locusts. Once a locust plague occurs, it will be worse.

But unfortunately, these will happen from time to time.

In the first three years of Zhenguan, it was just like this, all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, so painful that you don't want it.

As an excellent time traveler, Li Mu still understands some historical postures.

So he started hoarding food early.

As long as you survive this wave, the legendary Reign of Zhenguan will follow.

everything will get better.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is stable and positive, preventable and controllable.

After Li Shimin stepped into Zhuangzi, he followed Li Mu to his residence.

As a result, as soon as he saw Li Mu's residence, Li Shimin gasped.

"hiss……"

"This is your residence?"

"Ang, what's the problem?"

Li Shimin looked at the building in front of him, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

I saw a two-story small villa standing in front of me, with glazed bricks and tiles, high walls and iron railings, with a strange but gorgeous shape.

"I don't remember it being like this before!"

"Young master personally supervised the construction last year, it's a masterpiece!" Uncle Fu couldn't help laughing and applauding.

"Fu Bo is too famous, Xiao Daoer, please come in, Lao Li!"

Just came in.

"hiss……"

Another breath sounded.

"This... is this white porcelain?" Li Shimin pointed to the tiles on the ground and asked in surprise.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Li Shimin stared at the tiles on the floor with his big eyes, and found that it was really white porcelain, and of high quality, even the government-run kilns couldn't make such high-quality porcelain, so this product was actually used to pave the floor?

What a loser!

"Such a precious thing, you actually use it to pave the floor?"

"Ang, it's quite suitable!" Li Mu said as he tapped the tiles on the floor with his feet.

"It's a waste of money!" Li Shimin had a heartbroken expression on his face.

Thinking that he is a majestic emperor of the empire, who is rich all over the world, he would not dare to be so extravagant, and suddenly felt that this brain-dead son might not have a good brain.

"Old Li, what are you doing? Just some tiles. If you like them, I'll give you some. I've burned a lot before, and I still have some in stock."

What? ? ?

"You burned it?"

"What are you doing to lie to you?"

"how much do you have?"

"As much as you want, I have a private brick kiln, and the output is quite considerable."

"You can still make white porcelain?"

Li Shimin had a shocked expression on his face, is this really my silly son?

"Old Li, what you said is that it is so difficult to burn a tile, what a fuss.

Not to mention tiles, I have already made cement and square bricks, so there is no difficulty. "

"Cement? Square bricks?"

Li Shimin looked confused, what the hell are cement and square bricks?Never heard of it!

"It's a very strong material for building a house." Li Mu said, pointing to the wall.

After listening, Li Shimin quickly reached out and knocked on the wall.

Well, it is indeed stronger than wooden ones.

Suddenly, a small lightning flashed in Li Shimin's mind.

In other words, if this thing is used to build fortification defense, wouldn't it be perfect!

So he quickly shouted, "Li Mu, Li Mu, if this thing is used to build fortifications, wouldn't it be suitable?"

Li Mu waved his hand directly and said, "It's suitable, but the output is too low, so it's useless."

It should be!For things like building a house, it is best to use reinforced concrete.

but!

The current level is not enough!Can't make steel bars.

The foundations of Li Mu's small villas are temporarily replaced with bamboo, which belongs to the bean curd dregs project.

But even if there are steel bars, it is temporarily difficult to mass-produce cement.

It's not that cement cannot be fired, but mass production cannot be achieved.

After the cement is fired, it needs to be crushed!

Is there a ball mill?

Is there any roller material?

Do you have motivation?

Not to mention water power, that thing can't load, it's hard to control, and it can crush a lot of people to death in minutes.

For the sake of several tons of cement, 30 to [-] people died, Li Mu thought that he could not be so hard-hearted.

So Li Mu directly rejected Li Shimin's proposal.

After Li Shimin listened, he looked disappointed.

"By the way, Lao Li, if you care so much about military defense, you must be an official, right?"

Li Shimin's face froze immediately, and then he said with an embarrassed smile, "It's just a petty official, just a petty official."

Li Mu glanced at him, he was at most thirty or so, so young, he certainly couldn't be a high-ranking official.

"It seems that you don't look like a high-ranking official. At most, you are a low-ranking sesame official."

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, this kid looks down on people!

Chapter 3 Potatoes, but that's all!

"By the way, Lao Li, since you are the official of the imperial court, let me ask you something."

"What's the matter?"

Li Shimin looked at him with great interest. To be honest, although this brain-dead son seemed to be back to normal.

But there is still a difference between being normal and being smart. Of course, his son Li Shimin can't just be normal.

So he was full of expectations for Li Mu's sudden interest in political affairs.

If this former brain-damaged son really became sharper, then he wouldn't mind letting Li Mu recognize his ancestor and entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

"I heard that there is a drought in Henan, so the court didn't do anything?"

"Shang Shu's right servant has been sent to shoot Fang Qiao to Henan Road to pray for rain."

"Pray for rain?"

"Exactly."

"Damn, Lao Li, is your emperor being too funny, can praying for rain solve the problem? Why is he treating Fang Xuanling as a thunderbolt?"

Li Shimin's face turned dark immediately.

Although he didn't understand what "Xiu Dou" meant, what was certain was that it was definitely not a good word.

"Isn't it always like this? In your opinion, what should it be?"

"Hurry up to stabilize food prices and prepare for disaster relief operations! The rain will not fall for the time being."

"Huh? It won't rain? Do you also think it's a disaster from heaven?"

"Calamity punishment is a fart, it's just a natural phenomenon."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, what he was most afraid of was that the world would say disasters and punishments from the heavens, warning him that the emperor was wrong.

As we all know, he, Li Shimin, came to power only through the bloodshed of the Xuanwu Gate.

The little black spot of killing brothers and killing brothers will never be erased in this life.

Therefore, this is his sensitive point, but some people secretly encouraged him to say that the disaster and punishment from heaven was because Li Shimin was not in the right position.

"Do you really think that this drought is just a natural phenomenon, not the so-called punishment from heaven, to warn the saint that his position is not right?"

"Hey, what's the warning? If Haotian's father really thinks that Li Shimin's position is not right, why not just strike him to death with a bolt of lightning? Why are there so many tricks?"

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched.

The words are good, but why do they sound so awkward?

"Then what do you think of today's saints?"

"It's not bad, barely worthy of the title of emperor through the ages."

"One emperor through the ages?"

When Li Shimin heard this, the tiger's body shook, and it shook again and again.

Even he himself didn't dare to think about this evaluation.

Could it be that this kid is flattering me?

No, he probably doesn't know my identity, and the tone of this kid's speech doesn't sound like he's flattering!

"You really think so? Is your evaluation of today's saint really so high?"

"Ang, this cannot deny him, Li Shimin is really awesome."

"Brilliant?"

"It means great."

"Oh!"

"But Li Shimin's awesomeness is awesome, there is one thing that must be complained about."

"..."

"It's just the matter of getting married. It's too dishonest. The dignified empire is responsible for relying on women to stabilize the frontier, hot chicken!"
