Li Shimin

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded lightly without urging, but just quietly looked at the bandstand.

After a long while, the bandit reacted.

He hurriedly bowed his hands to Li Xuan, and asked in detail: "My lord, I don't know how big a ship needs to be built? Is the whole ship made of steel, or do we just need to cover the wooden planks of the ship with a layer of steel?"

"It doesn't need to be too big, a two-foot-sized boat is fine. I just want to prove to His Majesty that a boat made of steel can sail normally on the water!"

Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Now there is enough steel in the forge, and it only takes three days to forge it!"

Hearing the size, Le Tai's eyes flashed with a sense of relief.

Such a large ship can forge enough steel in one day.

Then, use a few pieces of wood to build a ship of the same size, and then wrap a layer of iron on the outside, which is an iron-clad ship.

It seems that this kind of ship was built by himself and others for the first time.

Thinking about it, Letai inexplicably felt a little excitement.

When building a model boat, pay more attention.

……

After returning to the other courtyard, Li Xuan asked Li Chengqian to draw a map that was exactly the same as his, and gave it to Li Shimin.

In this regard, Li Chengqian is very active.

On the other hand, Li Chongyi and the others were surprised after watching it curiously for a while.

If His Majesty shows off in front of Aye with this map drawn by Gao Ming, but Aye doesn't have this kind of map, won't they have a good life when they return home?

Just thinking about it, they can feel the hot pain coming from their buttocks.

Immediately, they rushed to the paper workshop, everyone took a large sheet of paper, moved a large table, or directly put a few sheets of paper on the ground, pouted their buttocks, and immersed themselves in drawing.

However, Li Xuan still looked up to these little bastards.

Even Li Chengqian, who was the first to start painting, took two full days to finish the painting.

After sending it into the Hall of Liangyi, Li Shimin couldn't close his mouth when he smiled.

"Your Majesty, this painting?"

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others who didn't know the inside story saw that since the map was sent in, Li Shimin had been standing in front of the map, looking at it with joy on his face.

After half an hour, I finally couldn't bear it.

"Hey, Xuanling, auxiliary machine, this map was drawn by Gao Ming for me. The treasures marked on this map are all real. This place is full of gold, this place is full of spices, and strange trees..."

Li Shimin explained with a serious face, it was just the expression on his face, telling Changsun Wuji and others brightly that he was showing off.

"His Royal Highness painted it himself?"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but turn their eyes red, and hurriedly came to the big map again and looked carefully.

More and more, the more angry in my heart.

Those evil things!

They have reached the current stage, their official positions have reached their peak, and their titles are already the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and their official career is hopeless.

Then, it is those evil obstacles that will be contested.

However, what they didn't expect was that, with the same master and the same age, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was more filial than those evil people.

As for what Li Shimin said, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others just glanced at it and didn't take it seriously.

They just want to go back early and clean up those evil obstacles so that they can get out of this bad breath.

Chapter 402 Why, Wei Guogong wants His Majesty to break his word?

Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong and the others did not know about this.

"evil creature!"

When they returned to Chang'an City from Lijiazhuang, they had just entered the house, but they directly saw the black faces of Aye and others as black as the bottom of a pot.

Let several people's hearts suddenly burst.

After thinking about it, I have been honestly staying in the Li Family Manor without doing anything. After confirming that I did not cause the trouble, I hurriedly and cautiously asked: "Aye, who made you so angry, my child?" I will avenge you!"

"Rebel!"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were even more angry.

It's just that I can't say it clearly.

"Aye?"

As for Fang Yizhi and Changsun Chong, they all looked bewildered.

It just so happened that the servants who escorted the map along the way followed behind and brought in the maps they had drawn.

"This is?"

In their respective residences, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others looked at the somewhat familiar map brought in from the door, their eyes were full of astonishment.

"Aye, this map is drawn by the child according to the map drawn by the master, and it is specially dedicated to Aye!"

Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong and others rushed to report.

"Do you still draw maps?"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others were taken aback, but they had already forgotten the small map that Fang Yizhi and the others presented to them a few days ago.

"Exactly!"

Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong and the others said with complacent faces.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others stood up curiously, walked to the map, and looked over.

The map in front of them is somewhat similar to the one they saw in the Liangyi Hall.

Immediately, they thought of something, and hurriedly took out the small map presented by Fang Yizhi, Zhang Sun Chong and others a few days ago, and compared it.

The handwriting and lines are equally ugly, and it really was drawn by my own son.

After confirming, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others' expressions immediately eased, and a smile could not help showing at the corner of their mouths.

Seeing this, Changsun Chong, Fang Yizhi and others don't understand what's going on?

They also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they followed Gao Ming and drew a picture, which can make their father be kind and their son filial!

……

Day two.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others had not had time to show off to Li Shimin.

Just after morning, Li Shimin hurriedly led them to Lijiazhuang.

"Xuanba, where is the steel ship?"

As soon as he entered the other courtyard, Li Shimin asked expectantly.

"Your Majesty, please follow me to the back garden!"

After paying respects to Li Shimin, Li Xuan took Li Shimin and others to the back garden.

Behind him, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others all looked surprised.

Steel ships?

How can it be so wasteful to use steel to make ships?

Moreover, can a ship made of steel really float on water?

However, thinking that this is the Prince Jin's other courtyard, and His Majesty seemed to know what was going on, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others did not ask any questions and followed silently.

Soon, a group of people came to a pool in the back garden.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were directly attracted by the two delicate boats beside the pool.

Although they are small boats, each of them is as long as half a person, and its internal style and structure are almost the same as those of the Datang Navy. The most important thing is that these two small boats are made of steel.

"Your Majesty, the king of the county, you can all check it out. This ship is made of steel, the whole body is built, and the ship next to it is first made of wood planks, and then tightly wrapped with steel!"

Li Xuan introduced from the side.

Hearing this, Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong quickly started to touch and check around.

Nodding darkly.

"Your Majesty, these two ships were built by the craftsmen of the house according to the style of the ships of the Tang Navy. If these two ships can float in the water, it proves that giant ships made of steel can also sail on the sea!"

Li Xuan said slowly.

"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness Prince Jin said is absolutely true!"

On the side, Li Xiaogong was also full of anticipation.

"It's the first time I've seen a ship made of steel, Xuanba just experiment!" Li Shimin nodded slowly.

Hearing this, Li Xuan didn't say much, and directly picked up the steel-wrapped ship and slowly placed it in the water.

And the ship only sank a little, and then stayed firmly on the water.

Seeing this, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others couldn't help but look overjoyed.

Afterwards, Li Xuan picked up the steel-made ship again and slowly placed it on the water.

Similarly, this ship, which was all made of steel, also floated on the water after sinking for a while.

Immediately, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

"how can that be?"

"It can really float!"

Li Shimin couldn't bear it, and hurried to the side of the pool, fiddled with the steel ship for a while, and then took a long breath.

"Your Majesty, these iron blocks are the weight of the ship's cargo and crew. Your Majesty can see if the ship can still float when it is full of cargo and people!"

With that said, Li Xuan was on the shore again, picked up a few large pieces of steel, and put them on the steel ship.

What amazed Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others again was that the steel ship swayed and did not sink much, and their expressions were even more shocking.

"Xuanba, if you put steel in the water, it will definitely sink. Why can a ship made of steel float?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, this matter involves the relationship between density, weight, and buoyancy. I may explain it differently at the moment, but Your Majesty can use the human body as a metaphor. People can swim and float in the water with a breath in their stomachs.

Similarly, in the steel ship, it is also empty, but it is only an open space, and it can still float on the water! "

Li Xuan explained slowly.

However, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others still couldn't understand.

He didn't continue to ask, anyway, if he asked, Xuanba wouldn't give them a detailed explanation, or if he explained, they wouldn't understand.

Instead, he directly pulled the steel ship, lifted it on the shore, and began to look over and over again.

In less than a while, several people were sweating profusely.

Although the interior of the steel ship is hollow, such a large ship weighs about [-] jin.

"Your Majesty, since steel ships can float on the water, can you build me a giant steel ship?"

On the side, Li Xuan stared patiently for a long while, and after Li Shimin got over his curiosity, he began to ask questions.

"Steel giant ship?"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others subconsciously asked.

"Your Majesty promised that if you can prove that steel ships can float on water, you will build two giant steel ships with steel!" Li Xuan said calmly.

"Two giant ships made of steel?"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others subconsciously took a deep breath, and quickly looked at Li Shimin.

Those are two giant steel ships!
