Ironbirch wood had been accidentally discovered by the Mo Family when they were exploring the Luoyang market. At the time, they had been preparing to publish it in the Mo Magazine as an interesting story. When Meton saw it, he immediately intercepted it and had Xu Jie secretly transport it back.
This Ironbirch wood was a merchant from Suhang. When he saw how tough the wood was, he had wanted to bring it to Luoyang to make a fortune, but he had not expected that it could not even be cut, causing him to lose his pants. The Mo Family's acceptance could be considered saving his life.
After the Mo Family brought it back, they had spent a great deal of effort on the abnormally tough Ironbirch wood. They had gathered the strength of the entire village and used special cutting tools to cut the Ironbirch wood into a carriage.
"Good! What an excellent king of wood!" Li Shimin said in ecstasy. This carriage was truly to his liking. It was low-key, comfortable, and safe. It was the best choice for his White Fish Dragon Robe.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Xi Junmai congratulated.
With this carriage, it could be said that the work of protecting Li Shimin had been reduced by half. At the very least, as long as they were in the carriage, they would not have to worry about arrows outside. Even if something unexpected happened, as long as the carriage was sealed, they would be able to hold on long enough for reinforcements to arrive.
"Today's test can only be known between the three of us!" Li Shimin coldly said.
"Yes!" Xi Junmai replied.
"Your Majesty, be at ease. There is only one Ironbirch carriage in the world," Meton promised.
In truth, even if Li Shimin had not said anything, Meton did not plan on making the next carriage. Ironbirch wood was simply too tough. Apart from being attractive to existences like the emperor, it had no practical use for others. Only one carriage in the world was enough.
"Mm!" Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction. He found Meton more and more pleasing to the eye. His secret care for Meton had not been in vain. When this kid had something good, he immediately thought of him.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Alright, since the gift has been delivered, you can leave now!"
"Ah!"
Meton's mouth fell open. He was being chased away just like that? Even if one burned the bridge after crossing the river, one would not be so quick!
"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked while holding back his laughter. He knew that Meton, this brat, would not come to the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. Since he had given him a gift, he must have a request.
"Ugh!"
Meton didn't know that his little scheme had been seen through by Li Shimin. He had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Didn't the Minister help Doctor Sun build an ambulance?" Meton said gloomily.
"Yes! This is a good thing! " Li Shimin nodded. The news about the ambulance had spread like wildfire in Chang 'an these days. Especially when the siren sounded, it meant a life!
"However, during these few days of testing, we discovered a problem. If someone suddenly fell ill, and the person who reported it ran to Mo Hospital, it would be too late by the time Mo Hospital sent an ambulance to fetch a doctor," Meton explained.
Li Shimin frowned. This was indeed a problem.
"So, you have a solution?" Li Shimin asked. Since Meton had come to ask for help, he naturally had a solution.
Meton nodded and said, "The Minister gathered the skilled craftsmen in the Mo Family Village and finally came up with a solution. The Minister is going to set up a city-wide early warning system, and he is asking for Your Majesty's approval. "
"A city-wide early warning system?" Li Shimin was puzzled.
Meton explained, "The whole city is the whole Chang 'an, and the early warning system is a warning in advance. For example, if someone fell ill in Quchi Square, as long as there is a city-wide early warning system, Mo Hospital will know in ten breaths, and the ambulance will arrive in half an hour."
"Ten breaths?" Li Shimin exclaimed.
Quchi Square was the most southeast of Chang 'an City. It was located in the most remote area and was the poorest square in Chang' an City. It was simply impossible for the Mo Hospital to get the news from the Quchi Square in ten breaths of time.
"Yes, ten breaths is enough. The patient must wait in Quchi Square for the ambulance to arrive," Meton said firmly.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" Li Shimin asked with a ferocious expression. How incredible it was to have such a fast means of transmitting information.
"The Minister will naturally be responsible for his words!" Meton said confidently.
"If the Mo family can really set up a city-wide early warning system, I will give you a credit!" Li Shimin said excitedly. As long as there was such a system, as long as something big happened, they would be able to get the news in an instant. How amazing it would be.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meton said excitedly. With this early warning system, Mo Hospital would be really perfect. In the future, it would be a hundred times more convenient for the people of Chang 'an City to seek medical treatment.
"However, there is one more thing that I need Your Majesty to decide!" Meton said hesitantly.
"But please say it. I will consider it," Li Shimin said excitedly. He was in a state of excitement at the moment.
"Your Majesty, many patients fall ill at night. However, there is indeed a curfew in Chang 'an City. I wonder if Your Majesty can make an exception and allow ambulances to go out at night to save patients," Meton said.
For a long time, the rulers of China had followed the principle of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. This principle was reflected in the curfew in the city, especially in the capital.
The curfew in Chang 'an was a policy that had been implemented since it became the capital. It was especially strict. Personal actions in the dark and windy night were usually regarded as theft, theft, brothels, and other bad behaviors. Some people even thought that they were conspiring against the law.
In this day and age, if one wasn't an influential person, going out at night was an extremely risky thing to do. Moton didn't want to see ambulances whizzing past, only to end up being stopped by night patrol soldiers for questioning and delaying their treatment.
"Of course, all the ambulances in Mo Hospital at night will be strictly recorded. They will not participate in anything unrelated to saving lives," Meton promised.
"Okay, I agree!" Li Shimin replied without hesitation.
"Ah!"
Meton raised his head in surprise.
"What? Do you think I am such an inflexible person?" Li Shimin pretended to be angry. "Besides, what do you think a carriage of people can do?"
Compared to this small risk, it was not worth mentioning for the future benefits of the early warning system.
"The city's early warning system must be the same for Wannian County Government." Li Shimin pondered for a moment and made a request.
Meton's eyes lit up and he nodded. In fact, he knew how important this system was to the county government. He estimated that from now on, whenever there was a case, the constables of Wannian County Government would be the first to arrive. It would be very beneficial for the security of Chang 'an City.
Of course, this idea could not be proposed by the Mo family. Meton knew that as long as he showed the advantages of the early warning system, Wannian County Government would naturally come to him. However, he did not expect Li Shimin to be so sharp as to want to set it up at the same time.
"It would be perfect if it could be connected with the Fire Administrator's Office!" Meton added. There was no need to hide it at this time.
"Mo Hospital, County Government, Fire Administrator's Office!" Li Shimin thought carefully and his eyes lit up.
