Chapter 65 The Coffin(1/2)
"Thank you, the king!"
Li Xuan bowed slightly to Li Shimin and thanked him.
In fact, Li Xuan was also somewhat shocked when he saw so many copper coins.
However, in this small mountain village, there are too few ways to spend money. Therefore, Li Xuan is so calm.
After a moment, Li Xuan said again.
"Master, I wonder if I can help you create some objects?"
"Young Master said it!"
Li Shimin hurriedly said that he couldn't.
"You guy wants to build a few iron furnaces and some iron pipes!" Li Xuan said.
"Iron furnace?"
Li Shimin was stunned.
Li Chengqian, on the other hand, looked curious.
“That’s right!”
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then stood up immediately, "Please wait for a moment!"
After saying that, he headed to the bedroom.
Seeing this, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian couldn't help but look forward to it.
Fortunately, Li Xuan did not disappoint the two of them. When he came out of the bedroom, he was holding a stack of hemp paper in his hand.
"Please look at it. This is the iron furnace that the boy needs, and this is the iron pipe that the boy needs. The iron pipe wall needs to be very thin, with openings on both sides, and can be closely connected with the chimney opening of the iron furnace!"
After unfolding the drawings and placing them in front of Li Shimin, Li Xuan explained in detail.
It was the iron furnace used by people to burn coal in later generations.
In fact, as early as last year, Li Xuan wanted to build such an iron furnace.
Unfortunately, in this era, iron tools were strictly controlled by the government.
In those blacksmith shops, at most, they can only build some iron tools such as kitchen knives or hoes. No matter how many, the government will investigate them strictly, even the blacksmith shops will not have so much pig iron inventory.
Therefore, Li Xuan has been saving this picture in his bedroom for almost a year.
Only when Li Shimin met Li Xuan dared to take it out.
"I dare to ask Master, what is the use of this iron furnace?"
And this time, Li Shimin also learned to be smart.
After packing the drawings, he asked Li Xuan.
"With the king, this iron furnace is used to burn charcoal in winter!" Li Xuan replied.
“Carbonite?”
Li Shimin was stunned.
Then, his face changed slightly and he quickly persuaded him. "My master, burning charcoal can indeed keep warm. However, the smoke emitted by the burning of charcoal is poisonous. If people smoke too much, they will faint at the least, and die at the worst!"
"If my little master thinks it's not easy to spend the winter, you can buy more wood to keep warm in winter!"
"Thank you for your advice, but I have a solution to the poisonous smoke of carbohydrates!"
Li Xuan bowed his hand and did not explain too much.
"I see!"
Seeing this, Li Shimin did not dissuade him anymore, but he secretly reminded himself in his heart that after he went back, he asked Li Wei to arrange personnel and stare at the young master.
"I wonder how many iron furnaces my master needs?"
"Three pieces are the best! And the iron pipe, the boy hopes to be at least six feet long!"
After thinking about it, Li Xuan lengthened the iron pipe a little after considering the school in the village.
"Don't worry, my master, you will be able to create it in a few days!" Li Shimin replied.
"I dare to ask the king, how much does it cost to build these iron furnaces and iron pipes?"
Li Xuan asked again.
"How can you talk about money by creating equipment for the young master!"
When Li Shimin heard about money, he was stunned.
There has never been a situation where someone paid for him to create objects.
"And, the young master is still a clever master? These are all considered to be filial to the master!"
"So, Li Xuan thanks the king!"
After hearing this, Li Xuan was not polite, but just bowed slightly to Li Shimin to express his gratitude.
"You are kind to me, Master."
Li Shimin replied, hesitated for a moment, and spoke again.
"My little master, I have something to come here this time, I want to ask you to teach me!"
"Please speak with you, lord!"
Li Xuan glanced at Li Shimin and said.
"I dare to ask Master, can the sofa be sold?"
"The king wants to sell it?"
Li Xuan was stunned.
He thought why was it a big deal? Unexpectedly, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to sell sofas!
“That’s right!”
Li Shimin also blushed when he saw Li Xuan, but when he thought of the more than a thousand stakes of copper coins he earned yesterday, he had a certain look.
"Master, although I am the king, my family needs to support a large population, and my family is short of money!"
"The king wants to sell it, just sell it!"
Li Xuan smiled faintly.
"Thank you, Master!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"If the king sells sofas, the boy will draw some drawings on the other day, and the king can also sell them together. Moreover, the king can also sell them such as dining tables and chairs!"
"So, thank you, Master!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin looked even more happy.
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 the bastards such as Cheng Chusi ran around in Lijiazhuang.
...
"Your Majesty, what's 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 it to be sold!"
Li Shimin said.
"Congratulations to your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate him.
Duan Lun, the Minister of Works, was also followed by.
"Your Majesty, I don't know how you plan to sell these sofas?"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned.
"Your Majesty, opening a shop is a cheap business for merchants. My ministers are willing to add a utensil to make and sell sofas!"
Duan Lun bowed and said.
"Your Majesty, this statement by Shangshu Duan is reasonable!"
Dai Zhou, the Minister of Revenue, also hurriedly bowed and bowed.
"Hmph! The two ministers will not worry about this matter!"
Li Shimin didn't know what the two of them were fighting. "This sofa is the master of the prince's worship. I cannot make decisions without authorization."
