Li Shimin

Chapter 221 Your Majesty, You Must Get the Cement!
"Everyone has used the crossbow to shoot at the king's storeroom. I should come and take a look at what I say!"

Li Xuan said with a flat face.

"Hey, the King of Jin is indeed a sage of the Tang Dynasty, and he was able to invent a wall that is stronger than the city wall of Chang'an!"

Cheng Zhijie smiled all over his face.

"Don't blame Xuanba, we didn't mean anything. I heard that the concrete wall is indestructible. Seeing the hunting heart, I tried it with a crossbow!"

On the side, Li Shimin also reacted and quickly explained.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, not to mention one crossbow, even a hundred crossbows will not be able to destroy this wall!"

Li Xuan chuckled, and continued: "I just heard that someone was going to use a crossbow to test the firmness of the warehouse walls, so I came over curiously to take a look. Now that the test is over, I won't disturb your pleasure. Your Majesty and Ladies and gentlemen, if there is anything else to do, just find General Zuojian and Chu Changshi!"

After finishing speaking, Li Xuan cupped his hands slightly towards Li Shimin and the others, then turned and left.

At this moment, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others found a chance to speak, and hurriedly saluted Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others.

"Meet Aye!" "Meet Your Majesty!"

"Aye, Your Majesty, I will follow Master back!"

After finishing speaking, all the bastards also hurriedly gave up and chased after Li Xuan.

Behind him, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others looked confused.

After a while, I came back to my senses.

Can't help laughing and cursing, "These bastards!"

As soon as this happened, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others lost the intention to continue wandering around.

"You guys take this crossbow back with you!"

"Here!"

The leading captain saluted Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others respectfully, then dragged the crossbow and walked back.

In front of the concrete warehouse, Changsun Wuji looked at the indestructible gray house in front of him, his eyes flickering.

"Your Majesty, if you use this concrete to build cities in the generation of Suzhou and Shuofang, and garrison a few cavalry, then barbarians like Turks and Tubo will have no peace all day long!"

"Exactly, Your Majesty, if you use this concrete to build more than a dozen concrete cities in the Shuofang area and station over [-] soldiers and horses, that Turkic bastard will never dare to set foot in our Great Tang again!"

Cheng Zhijie was also full of excitement. Following Changsun Wuji's thoughts, he couldn't help but imagine that ten concrete cities would be built side by side in Shuofang. No matter how the Turkic bastards attacked, they would not be able to knock one of them off. On the city wall, you can use bows and arrows to attack those wolf cubs at will.When you are in a good mood, you can lead an army into the Turks and plunder them!
Thinking about it, Cheng Zhijie's gaze at Changsun Wuji softened a lot.

The old turtle finally came up with a good idea.

Sensing Cheng Zhijie's gaze, Changsun Wuji shuddered subconsciously, his face full of vigilance.

Cheng Zhijie's face froze immediately, and he couldn't help glaring.

Now, Changsun Wuji was finally relieved.

On the side, Gongsun Nian did not feel the subtle atmosphere between the two princes beside him, but looked at Li Shimin with a happy face.

"Your Majesty, for my Tang Dynasty, cement is a sharp weapon that benefits the people and the army, even more important than the method of making steel. Your Majesty must bring it back to the imperial court!"

"Like the steelmaking method?"

Li Shimin couldn't help turning his head to look at Gongsun Nian, who was full of sincerity, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect that this general prisoner would spend every day in Lijiazhuang, it was actually for cement!
"Return to Your Majesty, that's exactly what it should be!" Gongsun Nian said firmly.

"Cement is Xuanba's property, I need to discuss this matter with Xuanba!"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then said.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Gongsun Nian quickly cupped his hands, there was no disappointment in his eyes.

His persistence for so many days has already been answered, and he believes that His Majesty will not be indifferent to this cement.

"Okay, I'm going to look for Xuan Ba!"

Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, this way please!"

Hearing this, Chu Suiliang on the side said quickly.

Afterwards, Chu Suiliang brought Li Shimin and others to Lijiazhuang.

At this moment, Li Xuanba was swinging two big iron hammers, practicing against Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others one by one.

Seeing Li Shimin coming up, he dropped the hammer in his hand.

"Meet Your Majesty!" "Meet Your Majesty!"

Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands to Li Shimin.

"Xuan Ba ​​doesn't need to be polite!" "I have seen His Royal Highness King Jin, and I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Then, after seeing the ceremony, several people walked into the house.

Cheng Chusi and others, who were covered in sweat, quickly offered hot tea.

"I don't know, Your Majesty, come to my small courtyard, what's the matter?"

After drinking a cup of tea, Li Xuancai asked slowly.

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

"Don't blame Xuanba. At the beginning of this year, there are many government affairs, and I have been unable to find leisure time. It just so happens that I have some free time today, so I will bring Cheng Zhijie and others over to see you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!"

Li Xuan was grateful.

This Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was able to describe his fear of seeing Old Man Xiong as having a lot of government affairs, and Li Xuan also admired him very much.

Li Shimin took a sip of hot tea slowly, and said again: "I didn't expect that the material used by Xuanba to build the other courtyard is such a treasure as cement!"

With a pause in Li Xuan's hands, he understood Li Shimin's intention.

"Your Majesty is interested in cement?"

"Xuan Ba ​​is as smart as ever!" Li Shimin smiled mischievously.

"The method of calcination of cement can be handed over to His Majesty!"

Li Xuan raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin, and continued, "I don't know how your majesty wants to use the cement, and which office is he going to hand it over to?"

"Cement is often used to build houses and roads. Naturally, it is the same as steel-making. Hand it over to the general!"

Li Shimin said.

"Will be a prisoner?"

After listening, Li Xuan frowned slightly.

"Why, does Xuan Ba ​​have a different opinion?"

Seeing this, Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was full of curiosity.

"His Majesty……"

Li Xuan opened his mouth and was about to speak when a voice of 'hmmmm' came from outside the door.

Then, I saw Li Xiong's fluffy body squeezed in from the door.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others were shocked.

"polar bear?"

"Iron-eating beast?"

However, Li Xiong ignored these strange two-legged beasts and ran towards Li Xuan.

At this time, he was full of grievances. The old man who used to feed it on time did not feed it today.

"Gao Ming, Baoding, did you feed Li Xiong food?"

Li Xuan picked up Li Xiong, his face full of distress.

"Returning to Master, in the past it was Ah Weng who fed Li Xiong, but today the Supreme Emperor is not here, we all forgot about it!"

Li Chengqian said quickly.

On the side, Li Baoding, Cheng Chusi and others also had distressed faces.

Li Xiong is such a cute dumpling, everyone likes it.

It's just that, because the Supreme Emperor has been occupying it all the time, these bastards have no chance.

Now, when the Supreme Emperor was finally gone, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Hurry up and take Li Xiong to feed it!"

Li Xuan glared at Li Chengqian and the others angrily.

"Yes, Master!"

Cheng Chusi quickly stretched out his hand, took Li Xiong away from Li Xuan's arms, and walked out.

Li Chengqian, Li Baoding and others followed closely behind.

After these bastards went out, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others couldn't help but look curious.

"Xuanba, is this really the legendary iron-eating beast?"

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly and admitted.
