When Li Shimin heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Calculating the time, it seems that it's time for the Mid- Autumn Hunt."
"However, we won't be able to see such a wonderful thing!"
When Li Yuan heard this, he said, "First, calculate the money from the last round clearly for me."
Li Shimin was somewhat speechless, but he really didn't have a single copper coin on him.
He looked at the palace maids around him.
Only then did he pay off the debt.
Li Yuan was like a miser, holding copper coins and said, "If you want to see, after this guy finishes the Mid- Autumn Hunt, or before the Mid- Autumn Hunt, we'll go to Xiao Mountain together. In any case, Old Man is also the honorary vice-dean of White Deer College. It's not too much to go and inspect this basketball."
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Imperial Father is right."
While speaking, Li Shimin asked faintly, "Little Guizi, I heard that Yuchi Yu 'er, Duke of E, and the others went to the small tavern one after another yesterday?"
"Yes."
Little Guizi bowed and hurriedly said, "Replying to Your Majesty, Retired Emperor, Yuchi Yu 'er stayed in the tavern for an hour. After she went out, there was nothing strange. This servant feels that nothing happened. However, Duke of E and Duke of Lu stayed for about three hours."
"And then?"
"And then …"
Little Guizi carefully explained the matter of the Crown Prince and the others visiting Zhang Feng.
At this time, Li Chengqian also hurried from Xiao Mountain to the imperial garden. When Li Shimin saw that Li Chengqian's expression was strange, he waved his hand and dismissed everyone. Only then did he point to the stone bench at the side and said, "What matter do you have that you don't pay attention to your image?"
Li Yuan also looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and asked, "Qian 'er, do you have any good news to tell me?"
"Imperial Grandfather still understands your grandson."
Li Chengqian hurriedly flattered him. Li Shimin heard this and snorted to express his dissatisfaction. However, Li Yuan did not give him the opportunity to ask. He asked, "Yesterday, I heard that you turned the entire palace upside down in search of Briquet?"
"Yes, it was Feng Zi who told me to look for it. Furthermore, he said that only this thing can maintain the temperature of the furnace to a higher degree and then smelt steel."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, a hint of shock flashed across the faces of Li Yuan and Li Shimin.
The matter of the firearms, the impenetrable shield, and the invincible spear had always affected the two of them. And the source of all of this was the need to obtain steel.
Now that the two of them actually heard good news from Li Chengqian's mouth, they couldn't help but be even happier.
"Tsk, tell me in detail. This isn't something you want to talk about, right?"
Li Shimin waved his hand and laughed.
"Just as Imperial Father said, this isn't the case. The mine that Imperial Father has always been interested in has taken shape!"
！！！
Hearing this, Li Shimin was shocked. He quickly looked around and shouted coldly in the distance, "Clean up the imperial garden. Without my order, not a single mouse is allowed to enter!"
Then Li Shimin and the other two fell into a short silence.
Mines had always been an important thing that troubled Li Shimin and the Tang Dynasty.
Now, the iron blocks, coal mines, and gold and silver mines of the Tang Dynasty were all in the hands of the Wang Clan of Taiyuan. This was something that Li Shimin and Li Yuan had always been unable to let go of.
At this time.
They actually heard this matter again from Li Chengqian's mouth. They couldn't help but think of something in an instant.
After a bird's cry came, Li Shimin asked, "Qian 'er, why do you say that? Did you find … a coal mine? "
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "If only I had that ability. It was Feng Zi who guessed where there was a coal mine in Erpi Ridge of Lantian County."
"What?"
"How did he know?"
Li Yuan and Li Shimin couldn't help but ask in unison.
Coal was not important. It was very needed in winter and the daily needs of the palace. However, this thing had always been in the hands of those nobles.
Under their wolf-like eyes, it was very difficult to find scattered playthings.
However, not to mention coal mines, even if there were other minerals that needed a large amount now, as the Emperor of a country, he actually didn't know much about them. This was the worry of Li Shimin and Li Yuan.
The main reason was that they didn't have talents who specialized in mining like the aristocratic families.
Now that Zhang Feng appeared, the two couldn't help but find a way to get rid of the nobles. Although it was easy to push Zhang Feng to the opposite side of those aristocratic families by doing so, Zhang Feng on the mountain now had settled the four great scholars, and Li Yuan took the initiative to become the honorary vice president.
If they wanted to make a move on Zhang Feng, they had to think about it first.
In that case, he would have to weigh the pros and cons first. Moreover, if it was as Zhang Feng had said, he would be able to create this gun that was even more terrifying than the invincible spear in a short period of time.
Then what was Li Shimin afraid of?
At that time, no matter what Guanlong Eight Great Families, as well as those five families and seven families, they would all tremble under his power!
Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but become more intense.
"Tell me, is this matter confirmed?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "It is because of the importance of this matter that I sent out countless loyal people last night, and then hurriedly returned to the palace to report."
"Good!"
Li Shimin nodded in appreciation.
"It seems that I made the right choice to let you follow Feng Zi. This is the way a Monarch should do. Before doing anything, you must first think clearly about the pros and cons of the matter."
Li Shimin put his hands behind his back. After wandering around the pavilion in the middle of the lake, he said, "I will give you a secret edict. Quickly let Niu Jinda send someone to personally go and do it according to Feng Zi's method. You must not leave Chang 'an. Otherwise, if those damn flies smell it, it will be troublesome."
Li Chengqian heard this and said, "I obey the edict!"
