Li Shimin

Originally, he just wanted to ask Li Xuan how to deal with the collective attack of those aristocratic families, but he didn't expect that not only did he not get a satisfactory answer, but he had to build two giant steel ships for nothing.

Two ships, if those steels are used to make weapons, how many troops can be equipped?

Thinking about it, Li Shimin walked towards the big picture subconsciously.

If he could take this map back and put it in the Hall of Liangyi, he would be able to watch the map of the world every day!

Ok?

Suddenly, Li Shimin's expression froze.

On the map, I saw some signs written by Li Xuan in small characters!

"Spices and exotic trees are everywhere, and people use ivory as their bed... Heling Kingdom?"

"Gold is everywhere, and the gold in the river is exposed... Luzon Kingdom?"

"Hot pepper... I promise to get it..."

"Potatoes and sweet potatoes are not only delicious, but also have a huge yield..."

"..."

The more he looked, the more shocked Li Shimin felt.

Although it was only a few words to describe, Li Shimin felt that he already understood the preciousness of these objects.

No wonder Xuan Ba ​​said, this is a treasure map!

"Xuan Ba, are these true?"

Thinking about it, Li Shimin hurriedly turned his head and looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"In the land of Luzon, can gold be picked up from the river water?"

Li Shimin asked again.

"Exactly!" Li Xuan replied.

"The Heling Kingdom is really full of spices?"

"Ok!"

"Is there really such food as potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are not only delicious, but also extremely productive?"

"Ok!"

"There is really a place..."

"Your Majesty, the words on that map were all written by me. Except for the discrepancies in the names of some countries, the objects covered must be true!"

A little annoyed by Li Shimin's question, Li Xuan replied first.

Li Shimin was not annoyed at all about this, but was full of excitement and excitement.

"It really is a treasure map!"

On the other hand, Li Xiaogong's eyes were red, and he asked Li Shimin for orders.

"Your Majesty, the navy is the old family of the minister, and the minister requests to lead the army to conquer and capture all these countries!"

"No!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan shook his head without waiting for Li Shimin to reply.

Nonsense, if he doesn't interrupt, Li Shimin, a warmonger, will definitely agree.

"Why?"

Both Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong looked at Li Xuan with puzzled expressions.

"Your Majesty, the King of Hejian County, if you want to go to these places, you need to go to sea. The wind and waves on the sea are huge, and they can even reach a height of several feet. With those wooden boats alone, facing these wind and waves, I am afraid that they will be directly overturned in the vast sea. in the sea.

Moreover, Luzon and Heling, as well as the farther continent, America, are extremely far away. Going to sea by wooden boat is too risky! "

Li Xuan said.

"King Jin, as long as I can bring these treasures back to Datang, I will die!" Li Xiaogong said firmly.

"The king of Hejian lived for decades, but he only enjoyed his time for more than ten years. The king of the county is in his prime, and it is time to enjoy life, so why take such a risk?"

Li Xuan smiled helplessly, "I'm not afraid of [-], just in case. If a group of sailors and soldiers really have an accident at sea, not only will they not be able to return, but the loss to Datang will be even greater. They will lose troops, generals, and ships. I don't know how many times the King of Hejian thinks that the Tang Dynasty's national strength can withstand such losses?"

"This?……"

Immediately, Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin were startled.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiaogong's expression gradually darkened.

He has also led boats out to sea several times, and he knows that what Li Xuan said is true.

On the side, Li Shimin looked at Li Xuan thoughtfully, "Xuan Ba ​​built the steel giant ship for these places?"

"Not all!"

Li Xuan nodded lightly, and said: "The giant steel ship can do many things in the sea, places like Luzon and America are just one of my goals!"

"Fuck~"

As he spoke, Li Xuan subconsciously sucked in his saliva.

Seeing this, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others were dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, these places not only have gold, but also various delicacies!" Li Xuan quickly explained.

He is just greedy for those delicacies, especially chili, he is not a pervert.

"It's okay, I understand!"

Li Shimin nodded, he no longer cared about these trivial matters.

In his heart now, there are only gold and spices all over the floor, and potatoes and sweet potatoes that can be used as staple food!

"When will Xuan Ba ​​show me that the giant steel ship will not sink into the water?"

"I don't know about this, as long as the craftsman completes the model of the steel ship, I will let Gao Ming inform His Majesty as soon as possible!" Li Xuan said.

"Very good!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, he looked at the big map again!

……

Chapter 401

"Xuanba, do you still have this kind of big map here?"

For Li Shimin's thick skin, Li Xuan looked helpless.

"Your Majesty, this kind of map was drawn by me, this is the only one!"

Forehead!

Li Shimin was taken aback, no one had ever refused him so blatantly.

"If Your Majesty wants, you can ask Gao Ming to draw a picture for Your Majesty, and the drawing will be completed tomorrow!" Li Xuan said again.

He worked so hard to draw and mark the map, so he would not give it to others, not even Li Shimin.

"So, thank you Xuan Ba!"

After speaking, Li Shimin felt something was wrong.

He asked his son to draw a map for him, and he still needs to thank Li Xuan?

Regarding this, Li Xuan didn't feel anything wrong, he had already started thinking about those steel ship models in his mind.

"I don't know if His Majesty has anything else to do?"

"..."

Li Shimin, who was about to speak and say something, froze, and was chased away by Xuanba again.

But, what was he trying to say just now?After thinking about it for a while, I didn't think about it.

"I'm going to the forge. If His Majesty is fine, I'll call Gao Ming and the others over to entertain His Majesty!"

At this time, according to Li Xuan's guess, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others should play and feed Li Xiong in the backyard.

Of course, there is another task, which is to find a wife for Li Xiong.

After all, the relationship between husband and wife has to be cultivated from an early age. Li Xiong has been in Lijiazhuang for almost a year, and he is not too young.

Find a daughter-in-law this year, get together for a year next year, and get married and have children the year after.

"Don't bother Xuanba to worry, I still have something to do, so I have to leave!"

Li Shimin replied directly.

"It's so good, I will send His Majesty outside the door!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan felt relieved inexplicably, and said again and again.

Li Shimin: "..."

It was the first time he was so disgusted by someone.

Immediately, without stopping, he bowed to the old man Li and took his leave, and then took Li Wei, Li Chongyi and others, and walked out.

As for Li Xuan, he walked all the way to the door, and then suddenly realized that Li Shimin's expression seemed wrong today!

Angry?

However, Li Xuan only had time to catch a glance, Li Shimin had already brought Li Xiaogong, got into the carriage, and walked straight out.

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help curling his lips helplessly.

"Careful!"

"Master, who is narrow-minded?"

Just after finishing speaking, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others came behind at some point, and looked at Li Xuan curiously.

"Be careful!"

Li Xuan glared at Cheng Chusi who was asking the question, and then walked towards the forge.

Behind him, Cheng Chusi looked dazed and touched the back of his head. He didn't want to understand what happened to the master for a long time, but he followed quickly.

Inside the forge.

During this period of time, Li Xuan didn't arrange any work for Letai and other moxie practitioners, so they were very free.

Every day, they inspect small workshops such as the forging workshop, glass workshop, glasses workshop, and paper workshop, and beware of any mistakes made by the craftsmen.

Then, in my free time, I study some small objects by myself.

It's just that without the king's arrangement of tasks, they always feel empty in their hearts and have no motivation.

"Where is the bandstand?"

Suddenly, a long-awaited voice sounded in the forge.

Le Tai was startled for a moment, then he was overjoyed, jumped up, and ran out.

Sure enough, he saw a figure who was thinking about it day and night, wandering around in the forge.

"See Your Majesty! I don't know if Your Majesty Xun Xiaoren has something to order?"

Li Xuan was also taken aback by the performance of the band, but quickly put it behind him.

Now, this guy from Letai can be regarded as an ancient scientific researcher, and it is understandable for him to be crazy on weekdays.

"This king wants you to build a steel ship model, how many days can it be built?"

Li Xuan asked directly.

"A ship made of steel?"

Letai and other Chinese scholars were stunned. Since ancient times, iron and steel have been extremely rare objects. No one has ever used steel to build ships. In everyone's impression, using iron to build ships is a waste, let alone Said to use steel!
