Chapter 22 Li Shimin Godson
The incident of the trolley has allowed Yuan Ling to see what the efficiency of a great country is.
High-end talents from all walks of life cooperate with each other and all kinds of materials are inseparable.
In just two months, the livestock drum truck and high drum truck were developed and molded. By the way, based on the accumulated experience over the years, the previous water drum truck was slightly modified to make it more complete.
On this day, the Ministry of Works gathered together to make final adjustments to the water drum truck, animal power drum truck, and high drum truck, then draw drawings and seal the files into the warehouse.
As the commander-in-chief, Yuan Ling felt a little proud as he watched everyone under him make a summary afterwards.
"Your Highness!"
Suddenly, Lu Yuan came to the vicinity with a subtle expression and whispered: "Can you borrow a step to speak?"
Yuan Ling responded and came to a corner of the yard with him.
Lu Yuan's expression was a little sad and helpless, and he deliberately suppressed his voice and said, "Worry about the prince."
Yuan Ling said overjoyedly: "Why did the Minister say this?"
Lu Yuan shook his head slightly: "It's better not to say it. The officialdom is complicated, and Your Highness should be careful. After two months of getting along, Yuan was guided and taught by Your Highness and gained a lot. Thank you for this."
He bowed deeply and turned around and left.
Li Chengqian was kind to him, and Yuan Ling answered questions and had no reservations and had the affection of a teacher.
He didn't want to say too much bad things about Li Chengqian, and he didn't want to go against his original intention and do something to slander Yuan Ling. All he could say was "Be careful of the prince". Thinking of his offending the prince, he had ambitions, and he was afraid that he would be lost and full of loss, but... he had no regrets.
Yuan Ling looked at Lu Yuan's back and did not ask in depth. It was not easy to get this sentence "be careful".
Apart from him, who knows that Li Chengqian cannot be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?
With some worries, Yuan Ling returned to the hall, and happened to be looking for him.
Yan Lide looked happy and said, "King Shang, you and I will go to the palace today and report the progress of the trolley to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is extremely concerned about the trolley and has sent people to inquire many times."
"Okay!" Yuan Ling agreed with his promise, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. In this era, there was no thigh thicker than Li Shimin. As long as he hugged his cheap second brother's thigh, what's so scary about a prince who could not become the emperor? Besides, if Li Chengqian really wanted to move himself, Wei Zheng should also take action. This old guy could not tolerate sand in his eyes.
He swept away the haze in his heart and was no longer taking this matter to heart.
At noon, Yuan Ling brought the sorted car drawings into the palace with Yan Lide.
Li Shimin met the two at the Wude Hall, and the Crown Prince Li Chengqian was also there.
The Emperor of Tang Dynasty looked joyful and flipped through the drawings casually. He probably couldn't understand it, but nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "It's great. I didn't expect that the progress was so fast that I could catch up with the winter break. In this way, next year, the people will enjoy the convenience brought by the barrel car next year..." He paused and looked at Yan Lide and said: "Cuiwei Palace is stopped... Zhaoling will stop for a while. You will copy the drawings of this barrel car and transmit ten prefectures at the fastest speed, so that they can build barrel carriages at multiple key points before plowing and irrigating fields in the winter break and spring, and promote this thing."
Yan Lide knew that it would take a big move in his heart.
Cuiwei Palace was a project established two years ago. Guanzhong is hot, and when it comes to midsummer, the heat is unbearable.
Li Shimin fell in love with the environment of Cuiwei Mountain and specially ordered the construction of a summer resort at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain, intending to escape the summer heat here in summer and deal with the government affairs.
As for Zhaoling, every emperor would start to build an imperial tomb for himself after ascending the throne. Zhaoling was the cemetery chosen by Li Shimin for himself.
Even Zhaoling was suspended, which was enough to show everything.
Yuan Ling didn't understand the affairs of the temple, but he was a little concerned about Cuiwei Palace, thinking about whether he could mix it up. He had a heartfelt love for the learning of architecture.
"You go first, hurry up and don't delay!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and issued an order to expel the guests.
Li Shimin watched Yan Lide leave and looked at Yuan Ling with a smile and said, "I did a good job. I thought Yan Shangshu took you. Now, judging from the reactions of all parties, the entire Ministry of Works is operating around you. I can't understand Yan Shangshu's ability. You can convince him. It's amazing, really amazing. You said, how can you reward you if you want me as your brother?"
Yuan Ling heard the implicit voice, "We are a family, why should we see each other?"
Is this too stingy?
Yuan Ling swears in his heart, but from the previous conversation, we can also see that the court is indeed not rich and wants real money, but we can't do it in vain?
Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "As a descendant of the Li family, I should share my worries with the emperor's brother. However, since the emperor has spoken this, it would be too disgusting to pretend to be noble. No matter how you say it, they are all family members."
The muscles on Li Shimin's face thrust, and he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot. He was a little worried that his younger brother, the lion, would speak loudly.
He has always been a clear and unambiguous person in dealing with people. Those who participated in the production of the drum truck will receive corresponding rewards, but he is very entangled with Yuan Ling.
Money is impossible, and the imperial court's money must be used to prepare for the war in Goguryeo.
Officials, others can reward them, but Yuan Ling dared not. Yuan Ling's achievements in offering a chariot were too great, and he could not determine how much Yuan Ling had changed. If virtue does not match his position, there will be disaster.
After thinking about it, Yuan Ling said, "Brother, I am very interested in construction craftsmanship and I have liked it since I was a child. But my father felt that it was strange and lewd skills, and I ignored my request and could only study books secretly. Until the emperor was shocked, he realized it and changed his past. Now he has received the letter from the late He Shaojian and was very inspired, and he was a little unbearable. He did not ask for anything else, but only asked the emperor to be able to reward the land outside the city. I designed it myself and repaired it myself."
The imperial court was so poor that he even stopped Zhaoling. I thought there would be no project for me to get involved. It would be better to get the land fast and make trouble for myself.
Li Shimin felt extremely comfortable and breathed a sigh of relief. As the king, he lacked everything now, but he did not lack land, and was thinking about how much he should give him.
Li Chengqian interrupted in the first chapter: "Han Shaojian's letter? Uncle Sixteen said that He Chou and He Shaojian?"
Yuan Ling nodded and said, "It's him."
Li Chengqian had a great enlightenment and nodded, "The Lonely King heard that he had also proposed a trolley in the past, but it was left unresolved. The sixteenth uncle has now offered a trolley, and he thinks that the young man is better than the blue."
Yuan Ling heard something in his words, pretended not to know, and smiled calmly, "Young Master He is knowledgeable, good at thinking, and uses subtle intentions, and dare not compare."
Li Shimin expressed his expression slightly anger and said, "The prince has a summer yard on the outskirts of the city, right? In this way, you don't go often, so I will make the decision and give your sixteenth uncle to his name in the name of your prince to commend him."
Li Chengqian's face changed drastically and even lost control and exclaimed: "Father..."
Li Shimin looked at his son calmly.
Li Chengqian did not dare to say a word, and lowered his head and said, "My son, please accept the order. I will send the deed to Da'an Palace tomorrow."
Li Shimin nodded, then said to Yuan Ling: "You go to Lizheng Hall by yourself. Xiao Yizi said to you in the early years, saying why you are gone. I'll go there later, and you and my brothers have a few drinks."
Yuan Ling bowed and left.
The hall is silent.
Li Shimin said with a tense face: "Crown Prince, do you know where the mistake is?"
Li Chengqian was raising his head aggrievedly and did not dare to speak.
Li Shimin felt soft and sighed: "Do you think your sixteenth uncle steals other people's achievements?"
Li Chengqian nodded.
Li Shimin said: "It's not just you, but my father also doubted it before. Do you really think your uncle, Fang Xiang, and Wei Xiang have no such suspicion? Did they say a little bit?"
Li Chengqian shook his head again.
Li Shimin said earnestly: "As the prince, and even the emperors in the future, they face the entire country. The people you face are all the best talents in the world, and their talents and scheming are all the choices. Do you really think they have no selfishness at all? Do you really expect everyone in the world to have such noble character as Zhou Gong and Zhuge Liang? If you can't control them, you will control them. Wang Mang was as famous as Zhou Gong back then. Yes, your sixteenth uncle was ignorant and had a very bad reputation.
What about it? A trolley is a magical thing that benefits the country and the people. It can reduce manpower, increase grain production, and improve people's livelihood. That's enough. He can offer it, no matter what purpose it is, it will benefit me. As the prince, you should encourage and reward, rather than dig into the bottom line. In the future, you will definitely meet a minister who lies in front of you. You must do everything in your heart and be confused. In everything in the world, profit is the best. In front of the country, morality is the most useless."
Li Chengqian said respectfully: "My son has received the teachings."
Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction and said, "What's more, this time, you really misunderstood. Your sixteenth uncle is not a simple person. Now he is a little hidden. My father wants to meet him."
He stood up and wanted to leave.
"Father!"
Li Chengqian shouted.
Li Shimin said: "What? Is there anything wrong?"
Li Chengqian said: "The yard in the suburbs..."
Li Shimin's tone changed again: "Your sixteenth uncle has made great contributions to the country and the country. Do you really want to bear that courtyard?"
"My son dare not!"
Li Shimin said: "I won't talk about this anymore. The most important thing is to distinguish between rewards and punishments. You cannot reward other officials or money. Your yard is the most suitable. There are still many good places in the suburbs. I will just give you another place when my father returns."
************
Yuan Ling walked slowly and slowly on the way to Lizheng Hall, and thoughts came to his heart inexplicably.
Memories about Li Yuanai are like a tide, and every step they take, their mood is heavier.
An indelible figure appeared in my mind...
She is beautiful, gentle, generous, and wise...
