Immediately, Li Xuan was not afraid of Li Shimin's face and directly called Le Tai and other ink masters over.
However, the identities of Li Shimin and others were not introduced.
"Your Majesty, are we going to build it from Chang'an all the way to Qingzhou?"
After listening to Li Xuan's words, Le Tai and other Mohists all looked excited.
"Exactly!"
Li Xuan nodded lightly.
"Are they all such smooth cement roads?"
Bandai still couldn't believe it.
"You don't know, but preparations for the construction of this kind of cement road have already begun. The newly established Road Construction Department of the imperial court is responsible for the paving, and all the aristocratic families collectively paid for it!"
Li Xuan asked a little strangely.
"Your Majesty, we have been living in the village. Unless we buy some necessary supplies, we rarely leave the village, and we rarely have contact with outsiders." Le Tai replied with some embarrassment.
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded, somewhat understanding.
Immediately, he continued: "It will definitely take a long time to come back. Is there anyone who wants to go?"
"Back to your Majesty, we, the rulers of Mohism, can take this path that benefits all people!"
"Exactly, Your Majesty, we can do this kind of road even if we live on the construction site every day!"
All the ink masters responded one after another.
Then, remembering something, Le Tai's expression changed for a moment, and he continued: "It's just your Majesty, I have something to ask for, Your Majesty!"
"What's the matter?"
Li Xuan asked.
"Your Majesty, we want your Majesty to help us conceal the identity of the ruler of Mohism!" Letai looked at Li Xuan expectantly.
"Why?" Li Xuan was a little confused.
"Your Majesty, you may not know that the monarchs and noble families in the world have been coveting me, the Master of Mohism, for a long time. They all want me, the Master of Mohism, to help him forge various weapons of war!"
Le Tai's face was solemn, and his expression was a little sad: "We are afraid that after our identity is exposed, it will bring some trouble to the king. Moreover, some people from aristocratic families, even your majesty, will send people to ask for us from the king!"
Li Xuan was also dumbfounded, "The prince and Cheng Chusi, the eldest sons of the prince's family, knew your identities the day you entered Zhuangzi. Are you still afraid that your majesty will not know that you are here with me?"
"this?"
Hearing this, Le Tai and others remembered something, and quickly looked at Li Chengqian and others, with confused expressions on their faces.
Li Shimin also stared at Li Chengqian.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh, and looked at the orchestra table strangely.
"You are so unwilling to do things for His Majesty?"
"Your Highness, forgive me. It's not that we don't want to forge instruments for Your Majesty, we just don't want to forge weapons. And after so many years, we, the rulers, don't know how to forge weapons. We can only forge some daily instruments and some common people.
The required mechanism objects!”
Le Tai quickly replied.
After hearing this, Li Xuan turned his head and glanced at Li Shimin.
Then, he said to the band: "Don't worry, you are going here as the craftsmen of Jin Wangzhuang. No one will deliberately inquire about your identity. Moreover, His Majesty also came to look for you last time.
I, the king, wanted to invite you to go to the weapons inspection and general inspection, but I refused!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Bandai took a breath and quickly saluted Li Xuan.
Then, he remembered something and gave a slight salute to General Supervisor Gong Sunnian beside him.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Gongsun, the supervisor!"
"No need to thank me!"
Gongsun Nian was shocked and waved his hands quickly.
"You select ten people and station two ink masters at each construction site. In addition, there are two remaining ink masters who are ready to replace the ink masters at the construction site at any time. If any of the ink masters is injured or needs to come back because of something at home,
It can be replaced." Li Xuan arranged.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Bandai responded with his hands raised.
"In addition, please note that when building cement roads, straight lines are the best. Build bridges when encountering rivers, build bridges when encountering ditches, and cut down forests when encountering mountains!"
Li Xuan continued to order: "The bridges to be built must be made of reinforced concrete, so as to ensure that the bridge is stable and does not collapse!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
All the ink masters quickly bowed their hands in salute.
"In this case, after you choose the person, you can just go to the housekeeper directly!" Li Xuandao.
All the ink masters once again raised their hands in response.
Afterwards, the general supervisor and housekeeper Li Chang quickly retreated with Le Tai and other Mohists.
"snort!"
After everyone had gone away, Li Shimin snorted with a depressed look on his face.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. These ink masters have been hiding in the village all year round and do not communicate with outsiders. Therefore, although these ink masters are relatively intelligent, they only focus on craftsmanship and lack of communication with others. They look a bit stupid!"
Li Xuan said quickly.
"Don't worry Xuanba, I won't be the same as these craftsmen who have no discernment and value!"
Even though he said this, Li Shimin still had some anger in his eyes. The majestic emperor, those poor people actually avoided him like this. You know, in the entire Tang Dynasty, there were many craftsmen who wanted to work for him as general supervisors and weapons supervisors.
Still can't get in.
In response to this, Li Xuan, Fang Xuanling and others also had wry smiles on their faces, helpless.
After this incident, Li Shimin only stayed in Lijiazhuang for a while, and then took Fang Xuanling and others back to the palace.
"Erlang, which minister made you angry again?"
In the Li Zheng Hall, seeing Li Shimin looking depressed, Queen Changsun couldn't help but express concern.
"Hmph, it's just a few farmers, but they dislike me..."
Seeing Empress Changsun, Li Shimin no longer had any scruples in his heart, and told all the things that happened between him and the Mohists in Lijiazhuang.
"A man as big as Erlang is still angry with those idiot craftsmen!"
After hearing this, Queen Changsun couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle.
"I am the emperor of a great country, and the barbarians around me are all against me..."
Just as he was talking, Li Shimin's expression changed drastically.
"Guanyin Maid!"
"Erlang, I'm fine, I'm just a little depressed!"
Empress Changsun used her hands to give herself a few breaths and then spoke softly.
"Are you suffering from anger problems again?"
"Come here, quickly pass on the medicine to serve the emperor!"
After shouting, Li Shimin quickly sat next to Empress Changsun and looked at Empress Changsun with concern on his face.
The maid on the side quickly brought a cup of honey.
Li Shimin took it and handed it to Queen Changsun: "Guanyin, please take a sip of honey!"
"My concubine has made Erlang worried!"
"Guanyin, there is no need to say anything more, your health is important!"
Li Shimin said softly.
Soon, after hearing the message from the maid, Wang Qing, Mou Huangtou and others from the Shang Yao Bureau changed their expressions slightly, took the small medicine box and ran over to the Li Zheng Hall.
"Welcoming ministers, please see your majesty and the empress!"
"Get up quickly, the queen is angry again. Please come over and take a look!"
Li Shimin said directly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wang Qing, Mou Huangtou and others quickly bowed forward.
After careful diagnosis for a moment, Wang Qing and Mou Huangtou looked at each other, and quickly bowed their hands slightly to Queen Changsun and Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is short of breath and has a pale face. This is caused by Qi disease. Wei Chen and others have prescribed some medicine. After boiling it, the Queen can drink it and it will relieve some of the pain!"
With that said, he quickly wrote the prescription.
As Fengyu of the Shang Yao Bureau who was responsible for treating the emperor, Wang Qing and Mou Huangtou also knew very well about Empress Changsun's qi disease.
“This disease cannot be completely cured?”
Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, stones have been ineffective in treating qi diseases. They can only provide relief and conditioning, but there is no way to completely cure it! Over the years, Wei Chen has been developing how to cure this disease, but there has been no progress!"
A trace of helplessness flashed in Wang Qing's eyes, but he still replied quickly.
