"Your Majesty, what are you sitting on? Why does it look so strange?"
After the morning court session.
Old Li's trusted aides and favorite generals immediately set their sights on the chair he was sitting on.
Cheng Yaojin was the first to ask.
The dark-faced Yuchi Gong was also unwilling to fall behind, and he shouted,"
"Your Majesty, I wonder where you can find something like this. This old minister also wants one!”
Generals were more direct, while civil officials like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were more reserved.
But at this moment, he was equally curious.
Old Li laughed and introduced,"
"This item is called a chair. It is a gift from the Crown Prince to me. It is very comfortable to sit on.
However, Jing De, if you want to buy it, I'm afraid your plan will fail. I don't think this item can be sold outside!”
"Another thing that His Highness the Crown Prince made? No wonder."
Cheng Yaojin nodded in understanding.
The others looked at Old Li enviously.
Since it was something made by His Highness the Crown Prince, these officials did not have the fortune to enjoy it.
On the other hand, Zhangsun Wuji, who had been silent all this while, suddenly laughed silently at this moment.
The current Crown Prince was his nephew. Moreover, the two of them were currently working together on a vegetable oil squeezing factory.
Presumably, if he made a trip to Yiqiu Palace, there would be such a chair.
Old Li obviously saw the envious looks in their eyes. After a moment of self-satisfaction, he said,
"Actually, this item is easy to make. If you want it, you can go back and find a carpenter to make it yourself!”
The topic of the chair came to an end.
Old Li also learned about the spring plowing from these confidants.
After learning that the Great Tang was using the new curved shaft plow, spring plowing progressed much faster than in previous years.
Old Li nodded in satisfaction.
As the Son of Heaven, it was very important to ensure the stable development of the Great Tang.
If he wanted the commoners to live a peaceful life, eating and wearing warm clothes was naturally the first priority.
Now that he heard that the spring plowing was going well, it meant that the autumn harvest this year would also be good. Old Li could not help but be happy.
However, when he thought of this, he remembered the Crown Prince Li Chengqian who designed this Qu Yuan Li.
He thought to himself,'Since that brat is a treasure bestowed upon the Great Tang by the heavens, I can't let him do as he pleases.
What lying flat, what salted fish, this kid can forget about it. I have to find something for this kid to do!”
Seeing that his trusted subordinates and right-hand men had nothing else to do, Old Li let the others go back first.
He only left Zhangsun Wuji behind and said to his brother-in-law, Zhangsun Wuji,
"Wuji, follow me to Yiqiu Palace.
Chengqian, this rascal, had been out of the palace frequently recently. He was so mysterious that no one knew what he was up to.”
Zhangsun Wuji, who had originally intended to head to Yiqiu Palace, nodded and replied,"
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is intelligent. In fact, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much.”
After all, they were partners, and he was also his own nephew. Of course, he had good words for Li Chengqian and Zhangsun Wuji.
Old Li smiled and said with some pride and some worry,
"Chengqian's intelligence is not fake, but this little rascal's personality is very wild, he's not so easy to control.
I'm always worried that if I'm not careful, this kid will do something earth-shattering and frightening for you.”
Zhangsun Wuji agreed with this point.
This little nephew's opinion and long-term vision was something that even he, a shrewd High Duke, admired.
For example, at the very beginning.
He, Zhangsun Wuji, just wanted to use the wok and stir-fry invented by Li Chengqian to increase the turnover and popularity of his restaurant.
However, after he had a conversation with Li Chengqian.
The restaurant became secondary. Instead, the two of them worked together to build a vegetable oil squeezing factory.
Now, it seemed that this decision was undoubtedly very brilliant.
It was because stir-fried vegetables had already spread in Chang 'an and became the most popular thing in restaurants.
In this way, the vegetable oil provided by the squeezing plant became a material that all the restaurants needed.
Excluding the first month, he only had 60,000 yuan in income.
Currently, the monthly income of the vegetable oil crushing plant had already reached 100,000 yuan, and it was still increasing.
……
Li Chengqian, who was being discussed by Old Li and Zhangsun Wuji, was rolling his eyes at this moment.
This was because the commander of the guards, Li Qing, was trying to persuade him.
" Your Highness, why don't we use less each time? If we pour so much stone honey into the water, this…"
Stone honey was actually cane sugar, or brown sugar. Looking at Li Qing's regretful expression, Li Chengqian said in a bad mood,"
"Whether you are the Crown Prince or I am the Crown Prince, is this BenGong's decision?”
"You are the Crown Prince, so you have the final say!”
Li Qing said helplessly.
"Then it's settled! Hurry up and do as I say. Pouring these 50 catties of stone honey into the water.”
Li Chengqian clapped his hands, turned around, and sat back on the chair.
Li Qing had no choice but to wave his hand.
A few guards carried the bag of brown sugar and poured it into a large bucket of water in the hall. Then, they began to stir it.
Initially, they thought that this would be enough.
But after a while, Li Chengqian suddenly said,"
"Men, bring over some of the charcoal that you bought earlier and pour it into this wooden barrel for bengong.”
What? After hearing his words, the surrounding people were stunned.
If the stone honey was poured into water, it could still be drunk, although it was a waste to pour so much at once.
However, what was the point of pouring charcoal into the large bucket of sugar water?
Unfortunately, Li Chengqian's 'stern' gaze had already swept over.
Li Qing and the others had no choice but to do as they were told.
Of course, everyone could not hide the way they looked at the prodigal.
Seeing the large bucket of brown sugar water turn black, everyone's hearts broke.
Who knew what this Crown Prince had suddenly gone crazy about.
However, Li Chengqian was not done yet. He began to instruct everyone to get busy again.
When Old Li and Zhangsun Wuji arrived at Yiqiu Palace, they saw the bustling scene in the palace.
An extremely huge wooden barrel filled with something pitch-black was placed in the middle of the hall.
A few other people brought over a clean wooden bucket and covered it with gauze…
"Chengqian, what are you doing?”
Old Li curiously asked Li Chengqian, who came over to greet him.
Li Chengqian smiled and said,"
"Imperial Father, your son was preparing to refine sugar. I didn't expect you and uncle to come.”
"Refining sugar? What was this pitch-black thing?”
Old Li was a little surprised. He pointed at the big wooden bucket and asked.
"There's a mixture of 50 catties of stone honey, water, and charcoal inside!" Li Chengqian answered truthfully.”
Stone honey? Fifty catties? This prodigal thing!
In an instant, Old Li's face turned as dark as the thing in the wooden barrel.
