Li Shimin

"Father, Master and Grandpa, I want to ask Father to forge 230 large iron stoves and put them in the glass shed in Lijiazhuang!"

Li Chengqian smiled at Zheng Ye and said loudly.

"230 Iron Stoves!"

Zheng Ye only felt his eyes go dark, his head was buzzing, and he wanted to faint directly.

Li Shimin was also surprised, and hurriedly asked Li Chengqian: "Why do you need so many iron stoves all of a sudden?"

"Father, the weather is too cold. Only by putting an iron stove in each greenhouse can the greenhouses be kept warm!"

Li Chengqian replied slowly.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyelids twitched and he took a deep breath.

"Gao Ming, do you know how many catties of pig iron are needed to forge so many iron stoves?"

"Going back to Emperor Father, you need thirty thousand catties!"

Li Chengqian replied.

"Thirty thousand catties of pig iron!"

After listening, Li Shimin couldn't help staring at Li Chengqian closely, "Then you are the prince, do you know how many soldiers can be equipped with these pig irons if they are used to forge armor?"

"Return to father, I will naturally know about this matter!"

Li Chengqian smiled lightly, and continued: "It's just the father, the master said that after the iron furnace is forged, he will give you back [-] catties of pig iron!"

"One hundred thousand catties?"

In an instant, Li Shimin and Zheng Ye couldn't help staring at Li Chengqian with wide eyes.

"Prince, do you know that you are not joking, one hundred thousand catties of pig iron is not a joke!"

"Father, Master has the method of smelting iron. In less than an hour, two hundred catties of pig iron can be smelted. Because of this, the emperor allowed the son to come and report this matter to the father!"

Li Chengqian was still smiling.

"An hour?"

Li Shimin stood up directly, startling Li Chengqian.

On the other hand, Zheng Ye also trembled, and then his face was full of excitement.

"Your Highness, is what you said true?"

"Zheng Jiancheng, the two hundred catties of pig iron was smelted by me and my master, and this matter was also witnessed by the emperor's own eyes!"

Li Chengqian raised his head and replied.

"Didn't expect such a magical iron-making method?"

As the Supervisor of the Shaofu, Zheng Ye naturally understood how long it would take and how much manpower and material resources would be required to smelt [-] catties of pig iron according to the iron smelting method currently mastered by the imperial court.

Therefore, after listening to Li Chengqian's words, his face was even more shocked.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court must obtain this kind of iron-making technique!" Zheng Ye hurriedly said to Li Shimin.

And this time, Li Shimin had already gone to the back of the palace.

"Li Wei, follow me to Lijiazhuang!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, Li Shimin led Li Wei, followed by Li Chengqian and Zheng Ye, and hurried out of the palace gate.

However, before he walked a few steps, he heard familiar screams.

Before Li Shimin could speak, the carriage had already stopped.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Guogong and Hejian County King are waiting ahead!" Li Wei reported.

"Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong?"

Inside the car, Li Shimin looked surprised.

"It's Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi!"

At the same time, Li Chengqian's expression changed slightly, and he finally remembered Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi who came back with him.

Immediately, he quickly followed Li Shimin and got out of the car.

Looking forward, his face suddenly became strange.

Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi, their bodies were densely covered with footprints, their faces were shrugged and depressed.

"Your Majesty... Hey, His Royal Highness is back too?"

Seeing Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong coming, their expressions changed slightly.

However, it soon returned to normal.

"Zhijie, Xiaogong, what are you two doing?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Returning to Your Majesty, my old Cheng was about to go drink with King Hejian, but I didn't expect to see these two bastards outside the palace gate. They were sneaky, and I thought they had sneaked back..."

Cheng Zhijie cupped his hands at Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, and said.

After listening, Li Shimin looked strange.

"Your Majesty, are you going to Lijiazhuang with the crown prince?" Cheng Zhijie asked.

"Ok!"

Li Shimin nodded lightly, "Xuan Ba ​​has a miraculous method of iron smelting, which can produce two hundred catties of pig iron in an hour, you come with me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After hearing this, Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong's expressions changed drastically, and they nodded quickly.

……

Chapter 134 Don't say a word about today's affairs!

They waited until the carriage left Chang'an City.

Only then did Cheng Zhijie turn his head and cast a vicious look at Cheng Chusi, who had kept his head down and was full of aggrieved face since he got in the car.

"Niezi, you are all sitting in the carriage, who are you pretending to be like this?"

Hearing this, Cheng Chusi was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help frowning slightly, with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

But, before he could figure it out, he was kicked on the leg again.

"Quickly talk to the old man, that iron smelting method can really smelt two hundred catties of pig iron in one hour?"

"Aye, it's less than an hour!"

Cheng Chusi pulled his eyes and said seriously: "Moreover, it's 220 catties of pig iron!"

On the side, Li Chongyi nodded again and again, for fear that he would be beaten if he reacted too slowly.

"hiss……"

Immediately, both Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong were astonished, and then they were extremely pleasantly surprised.

"If the imperial court uses this method to smelt iron, it won't be able to smelt more than 5000 million catties of pig iron a year! At that time, the sons of the Zuo Tunwei of the old man will each put on iron armor, and they will surely tear up those Turkic children!"

Thinking about it, Cheng Zhijie couldn't help laughing.

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong rarely confronted him, but was full of envy.

"Nizi, please tell the old man quickly, what kind of magical method did that person use to make iron smelting so quickly?"

"Back to Aye, the master just puts the iron ore in the iron smelting furnace and burns it, and then I wait aside to blow the air and light the fire..."

"Nie Zhan, so you have already started using this method to smelt iron?"

"Yes!"

"Nie Zhan, you didn't tell me about such an important matter..."

"Aye, my son doesn't know that craftsmen like the Ministry of Industry and the general supervisor can't compare to the master in making iron..."

Soon, after a burst of excited movements, Cheng Chusi was even more aggrieved.

……

Half an hour later, the convoy of a group of people finally arrived outside Lijiazhuang.

However, due to the heavy snow, the carriage could not enter the village.

Therefore, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian had to get out of the carriage early and walked to Lijiazhuang.

"This?"

However, just after walking a few steps, Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but look dull.

As far as the eye can see, it is densely packed, but neat, and it is all glass sheds, shining under the sun.

"Li Xiaogong, isn't this a fairyland?" Cheng Zhijie stared wide-eyed and said dully.

"It's not, but it doesn't make much difference!"

Li Xiaogong replied subconsciously.

"So many glass greenhouses, how much glass does it take to be so extravagant?" Cheng Zhijie was full of emotion.

"Aye, we burned all these glasses ourselves, and it doesn't cost much!"

On the side, Cheng Chusi quickly said, "These are the glass sheds of the Supreme Emperor that I told you about before!"

"The Supreme Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhijie's face suddenly became serious, and he quickly shut up.

Quickly following Li Shimin, he walked towards the village.

Along the way, every time you passed two glass sheds, you could see a veteran standing in front of the shed, saluting them from a distance.

Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong were surprised again.

However, this time he was very sensible and didn't ask too many questions.

"My son has met my father!" "The humble minister has seen the Supreme Emperor!"

Along the way, several people came straight to the forge.

"Ok!"

Li Yuan still opened his coat and looked around in front of the iron furnace, but casually nodded to Li Shimin and the others, but didn't continue to pay attention.

Regarding this, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others just smiled sarcastically, not too surprised.

Immediately, following Li Yuan's gaze, he looked towards the iron furnace in the corner.

"The villain sees Your Majesty, General Cheng, Prince of the County!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the side.

"Huh? Fourth Cheng, is it you?"

Turning his head, Cheng Zhijie looked surprised.

"Hey, Your Majesty, General Cheng, the county prince, is the villain!"

Fourth Cheng grinned his mouth wide, revealing a row of big yellow teeth, occasionally seeing a few big black holes.

"How long will this stove be able to be turned on?"

Cheng Zhijie asked repeatedly.

"Back to General, this furnace has been smelting with raging fire for about half an hour, and the time is almost up!"

Fourth Cheng quickly replied.

"Can the furnace be turned on in half an hour?"

After hearing the meaning of Cheng Lao Si's words, Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie were surprised again.

And this time, Zheng Ye, the supervisor of the Shaofu, had already moved to the side of the iron-smelting furnace with a face full of curiosity, and Xiang Yingqi and Wu Fu were inquiring about the various structures and functions of the iron-smelting furnace.

Although Ying Qi and Wu Fu are craftsmen who will serve as supervisors, they both know Zheng Ye, the supervisor of the young mansion supervisor next door.

Therefore, there are answers to all questions.
