Li Shimin looked at the dozens of pages of paper he had finished in a hurry and remained silent.

After he had sorted it out, Li Shimin realized that if the school system really started to change, his younger brother Queque would never be able to do it overnight. The Hongwenguan incident, because of Huang Junming's Chen's statement, had to let Li Shimin temporarily suppress the case...

Thinking about it further, Li Shimin also felt that it was time to compensate his uncle Li Shentong. After a few thoughts, Li Shimin signaled the eunuch to call Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

"Fang Qing, Du Qing, you sit down first." Li Shimin signaled to the two of them. "The immortal master has come just now. Oh, if it weren't for the immortal master, I would have almost blamed my uncle." Li Shimin signaled the eunuch to pack up the tea bowls on the stone table and change to new tea, and then told the two of them about Li Shentong.

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling pondered for a long time and said to Li Shimin: "What the Immortal Master said is not bad. At that time, I was confused by the messy atmosphere and didn't notice this. What I wrote meant was to compensate King Huai'an?"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.

"It's difficult!" Du Ruhui sighed.

"Your Majesty, the move of the King of Huai'an is not obvious in the atmosphere of the ministers' struggle for merit. Since Your Majesty knows, you still have to suppress it. If you don't suppress it, you can't calm the current situation. But after suppressing it, you will compensate the King of Huai'an. If you think about it, you can think of it. I still recommend that Your Majesty not reward you. Your Majesty remembers the matter of King of Huai'an in your heart." It is said that Fang Du Duan. Analyzing such things is mostly Fang Xuanling.

As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Du Ruhui said again: "Your Majesty, the ministers are fighting for their own interests. If Your Majesty punishes and rewards the King of Huai'an first, then rewards them, I am afraid that the King of Huai'an will be the one who hinders their interests in the eyes of those ministers who are fighting for their merits. At that time, the King of Huai'an will be isolated.

Li Shimin knew that these two people were telling the truth, but when he thought of the protection of Li Shentong of Huai'an King, Li Shimin felt sad. This time, he had to suppress the king of Huai'an, and even though he knew that he was good to him, he still wanted to suppress him. He was really sorry. Li Shimin said unwillingly: "Is there no other way for you to do this?"

"Your Majesty's mood is understandable." Fang Xuanling said softly: "The righteous minister of the King of Huai'an is also very impressed, but I really have no choice but to do this. But if Your Majesty really feels sorry, then keep this matter in mind. Although my Tang Dynasty has settled down, there are still many opportunities to make meritorious contributions."

Li Shimin is also the master who can understand at one point. Yes, although the Tang Dynasty has settled down, this is just an appearance. In fact, many places are still undercurrents. As long as Li Shentong has the opportunity to make meritorious service, he will not feel partial if he is rewarded. "That's it. By the way, Hongwenguan is probably going to be postponed, and I have other ideas. We will be the staff officer later. It's not too late, and I'm hungry and go to dinner with me. Since I became this emperor, I've never been as casual as when we were on the battlefield. Even eating has become one by one. Every time I look at that table of dishes, I feel sorry for eating alone."

"I am afraid, but I have just eaten it. I am not hungry." Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and the others refused.

"All right, I don't know you yet. I'm sure I won't eat at this time. I'll discuss something with you later. I'm afraid I won't have time to eat. Even if I've gone, I'll have to pad my stomach." Li Shimin said, and grabbed the arms of the two of them and walked back. After walking a few steps, he said, "Don't move any of you under the stone table. I'll use it later. Don't move the wooden barrel used by the immortal master, and put the things inside there intact. If there is any mistake, I will never forgive me!"

After getting full, Li Shimin took the two of them back to the stone table with satisfaction. The weather in September was annoying and tight, the room was too stuffy, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people breathless. Moreover, this was just a private discussion, so there was no need to go to the room as formally.

Li Shimin picked up two things from under the stone table and said to Fang Du and others: "My dear, the first thing I want to tell you is this thing." Li Shimin handed the cement board to the two. Although Fang and Du were scholars, their strength was quite good. After all, they were also the ones who had been killed on the battlefield. The two passed on each other and looked at this seemingly extraordinary cement board.

"Your Majesty, can this stone slab be related to the cloth bag in your hand?" Although Fang Xuanling didn't know the function of this stone slab, he could guess that the cloth bag Li Shimin carried was a certain connection with this stone slab.

"Your Excellent is already so keen. Look, if you add water and sand to this powder, it will become this kind of stone slab after mixing and shaping, just a few days will be given. Of course, it is not the single shape of a stone slab. I want to use this kind of thing to build a wall. I think it is feasible?" Li Shimin proudly showed his face to the two of them.

Fang Xuanling looked at the stone slab in his hand over and over again: "Speak out, it is not impossible to build a city wall, but how hard is this thing? How much does it cost? This must be considered."

"Haha, it was my negligence." Li Shimin was in a bad mood at the time. He only asked about the cost but forgot the hardness. However, Huang Junming said that it was better than the current city wall, and the hardness was definitely not low: "I know that the cost of this pound of this kind of powder is only ten cents, but it is still a trial production by the Immortal Master. If it is made in the workshop, the cost will be much lower. As for the hardness, I am not very clear, but it is definitely better than the current city wall."

"Well, ten cents are not low. A pound of rice only costs five cents." Du Ruhui touched the beard on his chin and whispered: "Your Majesty, we can practice this hardness."

"That's right." Li Shimin returned: "Come on, get a hammer!"

Li Shimin raised his hammer and smashed it heavily at the cement slab. With a bang, the stone slab was unscathed, but it was embedded in the soil. Instead, Li Shimin's hand was numb. Fang Xuanling shook his head, gently pulled out the cement slab, placed it on a stone bench, took the hammer and smashed it hard, but it was even louder. Looking closely, except for the potholes and white marks on the hammer's landing point, the cement slab was completely decayed.

"Your Majesty, it is feasible to build a city wall with this object, but now, the financial resources of our Tang Dynasty can only build a city wall of fifteen to twenty border cities." Du Ruhui said to Li Shimin after checking the damage to the cement board. Li Shimin had just given the Turks a sum of money, and the court spent a lot. The current treasury is really not very rich.
