Li Shimin

And this time, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others couldn't wait to come in from the gate of Lijiazhuang, and came to the cement road beside the field.

Sure enough, they saw a big cart made of steel all over the field, all emitting black smoke, wandering around in the field.

What's even more miraculous is that, except for a few boys sitting on the cart, there were no cows, horses, or young people pulling it, so it ran around in the fields by itself.

Moreover, as long as the steel cart passes by, a ten-foot-wide dirt will be turned out of the field!

"Can you really move around by yourself?"

"God!"

"Your Majesty, when this fetish is passed by, the land ten feet wide will be plowed once. This fetish will definitely make my Tang Dynasty stronger again!"

At this moment, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others, who didn't know how much influence this steel cart would have on the later generations of the Tang Dynasty, were already very excited when they saw it.

Even, if it weren't for this moment, the steel cart was hundreds of steps away from them, and they might have rushed up to stop the steel cart and take a closer look.

But this time, the few people seemed to see a peerless fairy. Everyone's eyes had already been glued to the big steel car body, and they couldn't move a single step.

He didn't even notice Li Xuan's arrival.

"Your Majesty, is this thing fun?"

Li Xuan stood aside for a while, and had to interrupt the obsessive state of Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others.

"Fun!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded subconsciously.

Immediately, he sensed something was wrong, and quickly turned his head to look aside.

Sure enough, he saw a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, looking at him.

"Xuanba, is this fetish called a car?"

"Exactly!"

"Why can you walk around by yourself without being pulled by a cow or horse or pushed by someone?"

"Because this car is equipped with a steam engine, the power generated is enough to allow such a large iron car to move around by itself, and even plow the land!"

"Steam engine?"

"Well, it's the steam engine installed on the big steel ship, but the steam engine on this car has been modified to make it much smaller!"

"So, do you want to burn coal too?"

"Burn! Those boys standing behind the car are just burning coal, and they can't walk without burning it!"

"I see, this car can really plow hundreds of acres of land every day?"

"I don't know!"

"I don't know?"

"In the past few days, these boys in the village have only cared about playing. Besides, the autumn harvest has just been completed, and there is no need to cultivate, so no one is going to experiment!"

"Bastard!"

With a cry of grief and anger on his face, Li Shimin asked with a distressed expression: "Such a precious object, you just let these boys toss it at will? What if it breaks?"

"If it's broken, fix it. Anyway, there are many moxie masters who can repair cars in the village!"

Li Xuan looked indifferent, "Besides, Your Majesty also misunderstood, this is not to let these boys toss around at will, but to let them learn how to drive a car!"

"Learning to drive a car?"

Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others looked surprised again.

"That's right! Driving a car is the same as driving a horse-drawn carriage. You need to learn. Moreover, just one car is not enough. In a few days, Le Tai, Yuan Jia and others can improve this car again. Then we can continue to manufacture cars!" Li Xuan explained.

Hearing this, the eyes of Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but light up.

"So, I wonder if Xuanba can also make a car for me?"

"You can!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, "But this kind of car is very cumbersome to manufacture, and it's all made of fine steel, so your majesty and you need to pay some money!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say, how much is a car like this!"

"Just [-] guan for one car!"

"Fifty thousand?"

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded again, "If Your Majesty and you have nearby fields, you can exchange them for Li Family Manor, or you can exchange them with fields or wasteland!"

"What does Xuanba want the fields for?"

"With this kind of machine, the farmers in my Li family village can cultivate more fields. Moreover, Letai, Yuanjia and a group of Mohist practitioners have worked hard for six years to create this magical thing. There must be a reward!"

"Very good!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others nodded subconsciously.

"For this great achievement, I will definitely reward them!"

"Your Majesty will reward them again after getting these cars and starting to promote them all over the country. In this way, all the officials and common people of the Tang Dynasty will be convinced!"

"Can!"

Immediately, without waiting for the guards on the side to reload the car with charcoal, pour in new cooling water.

Li Shimin naturally understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

Then, he looked at the car still wandering in the distance.

"Xuan Ba, why don't you call this car over and let me watch it?"

"Exactly! Your Royal Highness, my old Cheng also wants to try it. What's the difference between driving an iron car and driving a horse-drawn carriage?"

"Extremely, extremely..."

Seeing the expectant eyes of Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and other veterans, Li Xuan didn't let these veterans wait any longer, and directly ordered the guards beside him to call over the car from a distance.

……

Chapter 885 Brother Hejian left in a hurry!

Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others climbed straight into the car.

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but look helpless.

However, he still went up in person and taught Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others one by one.

After a lap, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others immediately fell in love with the car.

"It's cool, driving this kind of big iron car is much more enjoyable than riding a horse!"

"This kind of big iron car is the big toy that I and other men in Guanzhong should play with..."

Even Fang Xuanling, who was sitting in a wheelchair below, watched eagerly the whole time, but unfortunately he couldn't even stand up, let alone step on the brakes!

It wasn't until dark that Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others reluctantly left.

And the next day, early in the morning, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others came to Lijiazhuang early.

Therefore, after Li Xuan got up, he saw Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others were already running around in the fields in their cars.

Fortunately, a few people are also reliable.

Although there was a lot of noise in the Li Family Manor, it also brought a lot of land deeds to Li Xuan.

The scope of Lijiazhuang was doubled directly.

The price is, within a month after that.

Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie, as well as all the military generals and important ministers in the court, came to Lijiazhuang whenever they had nothing to do!

two months later.

The second car was manufactured in the forge in Lijiazhuang.

However, the body of the second car was longer, a full two feet long.Even the top of the car was no longer open, but an iron shell was added, and a pair of glass ears were added on the left and right sides.

In the car, in addition to the separate room for firing the steam engine, there are two rows of soft chairs behind the front driver's seat.

After carefully checking the inside and outside.

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others looked at Li Xuan with wide eyes and puzzled faces.

"Xuanba, this cart is so long, is it not suitable for farming in the field?"

"It's natural!"

Li Xuan chuckled, "Your Majesty, I don't know. I didn't build this car to cultivate the fields. The reason why the first car was placed in the field and the steel plow was attached was mainly to prevent the car from getting out of control. , you can do a better experiment!"

"It's not for farming, so what are you building this car for?"

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others all had doubts on their faces.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that I want to take my family out to visit the Tang Dynasty and see the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty?"

"You want to drive this car?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but looked up and down the cart in front of him again, his face full of suspicion.

"naturally!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"However, this kind of cart is fine for plowing the fields. If the distance is too long, and if there is not enough coal, wouldn't it just stop in the wilderness and be unable to walk?

In addition, this kind of cart is a bit cumbersome. Compared with a four-wheeled carriage, it is really not a good choice! "

Li Shimin said.

"bulky?"

Li Xuan laughed lightly, and said directly to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, can you get in the car and try it out with me?"

"Old Cheng goes up too!"

"The old man is going too..."

A group of people squeezed up directly.

On the side, a few personal guards of the Prince of Jin climbed directly into the rear compartment of the big iron car, which took up half of the entire car.

There, it is a separate room for burning steam engines.

Soon, as the boiler boiled, the entire car began to vibrate slowly, and then began to move forward.

"So fast?"

The speed on the concrete road is several times higher than that in the field.

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others in the car couldn't help but be surprised.

"naturally!"

Afterwards, Li Xuan directly took Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others, drove out of Lijiazhuang, and wandered around outside.

He also showed Li Shimin and others how to reverse the car. Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and the others were stunned. After returning to Lijiazhuang, they were still immersed in the scene just now.

"Your Majesty, this car is not that heavy, is it?"

"Not bulky, not bulky!"

Li Shimin shook his head again and again.

"Besides, Your Majesty and everyone got into the car, but did you feel any bumps?"

"Ok?"

Now, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and the others couldn't help being shocked again, they just looked outside and didn't pay attention to this.

In retrospect, it seems that riding in a car is much more comfortable than riding in a carriage, and it is not bumpy at all.

"As for the charcoal that His Majesty said, you can send all the caravans in the village to the cities of various states in advance. Or, when you are playing, you can bring dozens of carriages, all of which are filled with charcoal..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others couldn't help but remain silent.

They have forgotten that the road to Tang Dynasty is now smooth.
