Chapter 21 The good days have just begun!(1/2)
"Gen'er, dad has a contract here."
"The contract is protected by the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
"So, don't worry, they will definitely be obedient. Whatever you ask them to do, I guarantee there will be no problem."
Li Shimin just beat his chest and promised.
Li Gen also knew something about the contract. Hearing the promise made by Cheap Daddy, Li Gen felt relieved.
Next, the father and son got busy.
We discussed it on the carriage last night.
Fire walls and fire pits should be built in the mansion.
With the fire wall, the room will be warm during the day, and the fire kang will allow you to sleep happily at night.
It started to be busy and took a whole morning.
It's winter, and both Li Shimin and Li Gen's foreheads are steaming.
Li Shimin felt so comfortable!
I haven't worked like this for a long time.
Soon, Zhao Si also drove the carriage back to the mansion and informed Li Shimin that Feng Wu had brought fifty workers and that the manor had begun repairing the fence.
Li Shimin nodded and called Zhao Si to join the work team.
…
The government has already prepared coal.
In Chang'an City, coal is not a scarce resource. For Li Shimin, getting these supplies is just a matter of a few words.
At lunch, everyone gathered around the hot pot and ate hot pot.
For servants like Zhao Si, Hong Xiu, and Tian Xiang.
They are not qualified to serve on the table.
Originally, they had no intention of serving the meal.
However, Li Gen disagreed.
"Dad, we are not a family until we enter the same house. Once we enter the same house, we are a family."
"Although there are masters and servants, as long as they can do their job well, let them eat with us. It will be more delicious to eat with more people."
Although Li Shimin was very unhappy.
However, looking at Li Gen's sincere expression.
Li Shimin didn't have the heart to refuse this suggestion.
After lunch.
Everyone continued to work.
Before dusk, the fire wall and fire kang were finally completed.
The next step is to make a fire with coal and bake it.
The newly built fire wall and fire pit were roasted by the flames, and the room was filled with moisture.
Everyone had to go to the yard to get some fresh air.
At this time, Feng Wu came on horseback.
It turns out that fifty laborers worked hard all day at the manor, and there was no problem with the fencing.
"Dad, let's go and have a look, kid."
After learning that fifty workers were still there, Li Gen spoke.
"Gen'er, it's getting dark now. If we leave Chang'an City now, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the city at night."
Only then did Li Gen remember that Chang'an City now has a curfew system.
Once the Chang'an County Government and Wannian County Government beat the drum.
Everyone must go home and sleep immediately.
Even if the door of the mansion is not bolted, if it is discovered by an officer on night watch, he will be punished with a fine of fifty lashes.
Li Gen's scalp felt numb just thinking about it.
"Dad, if the child can't come back, you should go to bed early."
"My child is used to being alone in Lijiazhuang. He will definitely not be used to living in Chang'an City all of a sudden."
"How about the child staying in the manor for a while and taking the opportunity to build a greenhouse."
Li Gen's words played into Li Shimin's heart.
Li Shimin still has a headache, if this child pesters him every day.
Many things in the palace will be delayed.
If I don't go to the morning court every three days, the civil and military officials will definitely be upset.
"Gener, take that quilt with you. The manor is in the wild and it must be very cold at night."
Li Shimin said with concern.
"Well! Don't worry, dad. In a few days, our manor will be completely different."
"You tell Mr. Su Guo that my son will visit me some other day to discuss the opening of the restaurant."
Li Shimin smiled and nodded, calling the two maids Hongxiu and Tianxiang to follow Li Gen out of the city.
He watched Li Gen's carriage go away.
Li Shimin got on his horse and, accompanied by Li Junxian, went straight to the palace.
Tai Chi Palace.
Li Zheng Palace.
Empress Changsun was already looking forward to seeing what happened.
Li Shimin had left the palace for a whole day and night, how could Empress Changsun not worry about this.
"Queen, Your Majesty is back."
The palace maid Yuzhi's words prompted Empress Changsun to walk quickly outside the Li Zheng Hall.
"Erlang, you are back. How is everything? Is everything arranged?"
Li Shimin held Empress Changsun's jade wrist, smiled and said.
"Mr. Guanyin, I have made you worry. Everything is fine and everything has been arranged. The child said that there are many noisy people in Chang'an City and he likes peace and quiet, so he actually took the initiative to stay at the manor temporarily."
"Otherwise, I still don't know how to escape!"
When Empress Changsun heard this, her face immediately showed concern.
"Erlang, the manor is in the wild, and the weather is freezing. Can the child's body and bones bear it? Let's take him back to Chang'an City!"
Li Shimin burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Guanyin Maid is indeed my good empress!"
"Guanyin servant, there is no need to worry. He will not get cold at all. Not only does he have a feather quilt, he also has a feather suit. Today, I also learned how to make a fire wall and a fire bed."
Li Shimin is indeed happy.
I spent a whole day working in Anshanfang today, and the results are quite satisfactory.
"Erlang, feather quilt, feather suit? What are they?"
Empress Changsun opened her mouth in surprise, which made Li Shimin a little distracted.
"Guanyin Maid, speaking of it, this child Gen'er is indeed not simple. A principle that has been simple since ancient times has actually been used by him to keep warm."
Li Shimin then recounted the conversation between him and Li Gen in the carriage in detail.
When Queen Changsun heard this, she was stunned for a while, then she pursed her lips and snickered.
"Erlang, I feel deeply ashamed to say this."
Li Shimin put the feather suit given to him by Li Gen on Empress Changsun.
The lightweight and warm feather suit really amazed Empress Changsun.
"Mr. Guanyin, I have asked Li Junxian to deliver the edict. In a few days, you can wear this light and warm feather suit. Chengqian, Qingque, Changle, and my father, my relatives, will be here every day.
Everyone has it.”
"Today in Anshanfang, I learned how to make fire walls and fire pits. Tonight, I will personally direct the craftsmen to start construction."
Li Shimin is now in a state of excitement.
Empress Changsun was also infected by Li Shimin's excitement.
