Li Tai explained,
"Steam-powered ships are just an idea in my mind. But I can swear here that I will definitely build a steam-powered ship within three months.”
"You?" You're a man-made?"
Li Tai shook his head." I have a team. My team is all the young people here."”
As he spoke, Li Tai looked at Cheng Chumo and the others.
The youths were dumbfounded. They never thought that they would be able to take on such a heavy responsibility. But…we don't know how to do that.
"I'm making money like crazy right now," Li Tai said.，When I earn enough money, I will open the shipyard. Then, in the shipyard, the first steam-powered ship went to sea in less than three months. I mean what I say. If I, Li Tai, can't do it in three months, I'm willing to commit suicide on the spot!”
"Fourth Prince, you can't!"
"Fourth Prince, stop spouting nonsense!"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, but Li Tai said indifferently,""Because I am very confident!"
"What confidence do you have?" Li Shiming was a little angry. What was a steamboat? What do you mean you can run by burning coal?"
"As the name suggests, the power of a steam-powered ship comes from steam.”
"Steam?"
"Have you seen a teapot boiling water?" Li Tai nodded. When the water boils, the spout will blow out…"
Everyone looked pensive as they pondered. This is called steam?
Cheng Yaojin frowned. It's not even as strong as a fart."
"That's because the teapot is too small." Li Tai snorted. What if the teapot was replaced with a super kettle that was ten feet tall and ten feet wide? Then Uncle Cheng, do you think your fart is as big as this?”
Cheng Yaojin was flabbergasted. A teapot ten zhang tall and ten zhang wide?"
" And with my special treatment," Li Tai continued," the steam that comes out of such a kettle will be compressed by a turbine." Its strength would increase by several times. Then, it would be transmitted to the ship, and the power would be equivalent to 10,000 sailors rowing non-stop.”
“……”
Everyone was speechless.
They were all stunned by Li Tai's wonderful idea.
Li Shi Min had even forgotten how he got back to Taiji Palace. He was deep in thought as he thought about the things that Li Tai had described.
America.
16,000 catties of sweet potatoes a year?
Two thousand catties of corn per mu?
Pacific Ocean?
Steamboat?
A hundred thousand miles away?
Most importantly, there was one word that made Li Shiming's heart beat faster. Just thinking about that word made his whole body boil.、
The Emperor of All Ages!
"I can become the one emperor of all time?"
Li Shi Min muttered.
At this moment, Otomo brought over a teapot.""Your Majesty, the tea is ready."
Li Shiming looked down and saw a small teapot with a spout that was constantly emitting steam. He subconsciously touched it with his hand and closed his eyes to feel it. He felt a weak force constantly gushing out.
Li Shi Min muttered,
"Is this…the steam that the green sparrow mentioned?”
"Could it be that this steam, just steam, is enough to support the voyage?”
" Your Majesty," Otomo smiled." I think the Fourth Prince's words are full of ambition." If the Great Tang could really obtain corn and sweet potatoes, it would be an auspicious sign from the heavens. This would be a gift from the heavens to the Great Tang, and the Great Tang would no longer starve to death. Your Majesty, if you can do something that even the one emperor in history can't do…Isn't he the one emperor of all time?"
Li Shi Min was shocked.
Silence.
There was a long silence.
After a long time, he sighed,"He has grown up…"
"Dayou."
"Your Majesty, this old servant is here."
"Pass down the order. Tomorrow, he would drag Crown Prince Li Chengqian, Li Ge, Li Kuan…and the rest of them to Mount Maiji.”
"Zhen has thought it through. Perhaps the deep palace and courtyard can only be protected and not go through hardships. Let them learn from the green sparrow. Otherwise, in the future…those second generation heirs will become powerful, but my son won't. I can't fall behind others!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Your Majesty has forgiven the Fourth Prince?" Otomo asked happily.”
Li Shi Min snorted coldly. Impossible, unless he came to apologize to me.”
