Li Xuan cupped his hands slightly towards Li Shimin and thanked him.
In fact, Li Xuan was a little shocked when he saw so many copper coins at once.
It's just that in this small mountain village, there are really few ways to spend money. That's why Li Xuan is so calm.
After a while, Li Xuan said again.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if you can help me build some more objects?"
"Young master, just say it!"
Li Shimin said quickly.
"The boy wants to build some iron stoves and some iron pipes!" Li Xuandao.
"Iron furnace?"
Li Shimin was startled.
Li Chengqian, on the other hand, was full of curiosity.
"Exactly!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then stood up and said, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, he went to the bedroom.
Seeing this, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian couldn't help but look forward to it.
Fortunately, Li Xuan did not disappoint these two people. When he came out of the bedroom, he held a stack of hemp paper in his hand.
"Your Majesty, please see, this is the iron stove that the boy needs, and this is the iron pipe that the boy needs. The iron pipe wall needs to be very thin, open on both sides, and can be tightly connected to the chimney mouth of the iron stove!
"
After unfolding the drawing and placing it in front of Li Shimin, Li Xuan explained it in detail.
It was the iron furnace used by people in later generations to burn coal.
In fact, as early as last year, Li Xuan wanted to build such an iron stove.
Unfortunately, in this era, iron tools are very strictly controlled by the government.
In those blacksmith shops, they can only make some iron tools such as kitchen knives or hoes at most. If there are more, not to mention the government will strictly investigate, even the blacksmith shops do not have that much pig iron in stock.
Therefore, Li Xuan has kept this picture in his bedroom for almost more than a year.
Only after meeting Li Shimin did Li Xuan dare to take it out.
"May I ask, young master, what is the use of this iron stove?"
But this time, Li Shimin also learned to be smart.
After putting away the drawings, he asked Li Xuan.
"Your Majesty, this iron furnace is used for burning charcoal in winter!" Li Xuan replied.
"Charcoal?"
Li Shimin was startled.
Immediately, he hurriedly tried to dissuade him. "My dear master, burning charcoal can indeed keep you warm. However, the smoke emitted by burning charcoal is poisonous. People who take too much of it can easily die of poisoning!"
"If the young master feels that winter is difficult, you can buy and cut more wood to keep warm in winter!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for informing me, but I have my own way of dealing with the poisonous smoke of charcoal!"
Li Xuan cupped his hands without explaining much.
"I see!"
Seeing this, Li Shimin did not dissuade him any more.
"I wonder how many iron stoves the young master needs?"
"Three pieces are best! As for the iron pipe, I hope it needs to be at least six feet long!"
After thinking about it, Li Xuan lengthened the iron pipe a bit, considering that it was a village school.
"Don't worry, young master, we can build it in a few days!" Li Shimin replied.
"May I ask your lord, how much does it cost to build these iron furnaces and iron pipes?"
Li Xuan asked again.
"How can we talk about money when we build appliances for my little wife?"
Li Shimin was startled when he heard about money.
I have never had this kind of situation where someone paid me to build an object.
"Besides, the young master is still a wise master? These are the things that a wise master should show his filial piety to the master!"
"Well, Li Xuan thanks you so much, Your Majesty!"
After hearing this, Li Xuan was not polite and just slightly arched his hands towards Li Shimin to express his gratitude.
"Master, you're welcome."
Li Shimin replied, hesitating for a moment before speaking again.
"Little Master, I came here this time and there is something I want to ask Master for advice!"
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
Li Xuan glanced at Li Shimin and said.
"May I ask, Master, if the sofa can be sold?"
"Your Majesty, you want to sell?"
Li Xuan was stunned.
He thought it was a big deal, but he didn't expect that the mighty Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to sell sofas!
"Exactly!"
Li Shimin also blushed when Li Xuan looked at him, but when he thought of those two books yesterday and the more than a thousand copper coins he earned, his eyes were fixed.
"Master, although I am a prince, I have a large family to support, and I am also short of money!"
"If the prince wants to sell it, just sell it!"
Li Xuan smiled faintly.
"Thank you, young master!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"If the prince sells sofas, I can draw some drawings someday and the prince can sell them together. Moreover, the prince can also sell the dining tables and chairs!"
"Well, thank you very much, young master!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin looked even more delighted.
Immediately, after chatting for a while, Li Shimin took Li Chengqian and hurried back.
As for Cheng Chusi and others, they were also taken away by Li Shimin.
He was worried that bastards like Cheng Chusi were running around in Lijiazhuang.
…
"Your Majesty, how is the situation?"
When Li Shimin returned to Tai Chi Hall, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were already standing in the hall waiting.
"That master allows the sale!"
Li Shimin said.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji quickly stepped forward to congratulate him.
Duan Lun, Minister of Industry and Industry, also followed closely behind.
"Your Majesty, I wonder how you plan to sell these sofas?"
"Um?"
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, opening a shop is a humble business for merchants. The Ministry of Industry is willing to add an appliance department to manufacture and sell sofas!"
Duan Lun cupped his hands and said.
"Your Majesty, what Duan Shangshu said makes sense!"
The Minister of Household Affairs, Dai Zhou, also quickly bowed his hands and saluted.
"Humph! This matter is not settled. The two ministers have troubled themselves!"
Li Shimin still didn't know what these two people were paying attention to, "This sofa is something that the prince worshiped as his master and allowed the prince to sell. I can't make the decision without authorization."
"Your Majesty, the treasury is now empty and there is not a penny left. And the New Year is approaching, and all the officials in the Tang Dynasty have not yet received their New Year's goods."
"Your Majesty, we have hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been a long time since we received military pay!"
"His Majesty……"
Duan Lun and Dai Zhou took the lead, and Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others also hurriedly stepped forward.
Seeing this, Li Shimin's eyebrows jumped, he frowned and kneaded it hard.
"The money earned from this sofa is allowed to be supervised by the Household Department!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After hearing this, Duan Lun, Dai Zhou and others raised their hands with joy on their faces.
…
Another day.
I took advantage of nothing to do, after school.
Li Xuan put a small medicine basket on his back, held a sickle, and went deep into Zhongnan Mountain under the greetings of all the villagers.
Along the way, except for some particularly precious medicines, Li Xuan didn't stop for a moment.
After walking for a full hour, we arrived at a steep peak deep in Zhongnan Mountain.
"here we go again!"
Looking around slowly, a flash of memory flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.
Then, he followed the direction in his memory, found the hole he had made, and walked in.
Inside, there is a cave about the size of a room.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the coffin on the stone platform in the middle of the cave.
