Under Li Shi Min's command, the two bronze lions were quickly tied together.
"What is Your Majesty doing? Are you really going to lift these two bronze lions?”
"That can't be done. The two bronze lions add up to 2,000 jin. It's not something an ordinary person can lift.”
Seeing that Li Shi Min was about to lift up two bronze lions, the officials all looked worried.
However, Li Shiming smiled. After seeing that the bronze lion was fixed, he looked at everyone and said,"Don't worry, my dear ministers. It's true that I want to lift these two bronze lions.”
"But it doesn't require much strength. One hand is enough.”
As he spoke, Li Shi Min grabbed one of the chains and pulled it down gently.
Crash!
As the sound of the iron chains sliding rang out, the two copper lions tied to the ground shook.
When he pulled for the second time, the two bronze lions began to leave the ground.
When he pulled for the third time, the two bronze lions left the ground at the same time.
"How is this possible?"
"Oh my god, he pulled up two bronze lions with one hand. It's unbelievable.”
When Li Shi Min pulled the two bronze lions over his head, all the officials in the court fell silent.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong's mouths were wide open, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They could only lift a bronze lion with their hands, but Li Shiming only used one hand to lift two bronze lions.
Although the method was different, he just had to lift it up. The method was not important.
"Dear ministers, what else do you have to say now?”
After pulling the lion to the top, Li Shimin asked the officials.
"Your Majesty, may I ask where you learned this method? This is simply the greatest invention of the Great Tang.”
"That's right. The person who invented this method must be a genius.”
"Actually, everyone knows this person. He's the county magistrate of Qinghe County, Lin Han."”
"What? He invented this thing?”
"Genius, this person is truly a genius.”
The officials praised.
At this time, Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said,"Your Majesty, are you trying to use this method to transport the water from the lower reaches to the higher reaches?"”
"Not bad. What do you think of this method?”
Li Shimin asked Wei Zheng.
"Of course this method is good. If one hand can lift something that weighs two thousand pounds, wouldn't it be four thousand pounds with both hands?”
"How can it be only four thousand jin? I'm afraid it can be pulled up to five thousand jin or even six thousand jin.”
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong said.
"Not bad, this method is feasible."
"Yes, I also think this method is feasible.”
When the other ministers heard this, they also agreed with Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong's opinion. Only Wei Zheng did not speak.
"Since everyone thinks that this method is feasible, then I will order the Ministry of Works to make the rollers and then transport them to Shandong to teach the people how to operate them."”
"Your Majesty is wise."
Seeing that his plan had been implemented, Li Shiming heaved a sigh of relief.
After the morning court session, he walked towards the Dew Palace.
As soon as they entered the Dew Palace, Empress Zhangsun came up to them.
"Your Majesty, how was it? Did you find the princess?”
Li Shi Min paused for a moment and said,""I haven't found her yet, but don't worry. Lizhi is so smart, she'll be fine.”
" Lizhi has been in the palace since she was young," Empress Zhangsun said worriedly." She doesn't know the dangers of the outside world. How can I not be worried?"”
"She's lucky," Li Shi Min quickly comforted,"Don't think too much about it."”
Li Shiming didn't want to tell Empress Zhangsun about Princess Changle marrying Lin Han.
Because he felt that the time was not ripe yet.
If he told Empress Zhangsun now, she would definitely lose her mind.
At this moment, a eunuch walked in and said,""Your Majesty, Lord Wei Zheng requests an audience.”
Li Shi Min sat down and said,"Let him in."
Soon, Wei Zheng walked in from outside.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Get up," Li Shi Min said,"Why are you here?"”
Wei Zheng said," Your Majesty, although the thing you took out today in the imperial court can be used to divert a thousand catties with just a few taels of silver, the production, operation, and construction of the water diversion route will consume a lot of financial and material resources.”
"With the Great Tang's current situation, it is not suitable to operate, so this humble subject suggests that we temporarily abandon the operation and wait until the people have stabilized before discussing.”
Li Shi Min was still feeling proud of his earlier actions.
When he heard Wei Zheng say this, he was instantly furious.
"You want me to temporarily stop operating?"
"Correct. If His Majesty insists on operating it, it will definitely consume money and energy, and this is not a good thing for the Great Tang.”
"Since the flood has already happened, why don't we first calm the people down and wait for the flood to recede before we slowly discuss it?”
Li Shi Min pondered.
What Wei Zheng said was not unreasonable, but if they gave up now, wouldn't they miss a good opportunity to store water?
Before the flood, Changqing County did not have a sufficient water source.
"You can leave first and let zhen think about it.”
Li Shi Min felt that this was a serious matter and he needed to think about it.
