The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 20

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Li Chengqian remembered the tedious process of firing bricks in ancient times.So there was a look of helplessness on his face.

But Li Chengqian would not just give up his great career of decoration, so he said to Lu Yan: "You wait a moment, I will give you a new method of burning bricks."

Li Chengqian took out the paper, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and at the same time entered his consciousness into the super dandy system.Start collecting materials on red brick firing in the library.

The corrosion resistance and durability of red bricks are greatly insufficient compared with blue bricks.However, the firing process and time have been greatly improved.

But Li Chengqian didn't think how long it would take to live in a house, so Li Chengqian planned to use red bricks to build his own Yiqiu Palace.

Soon Li Chengqian obtained a complete document and recorded it.After Li Chengqian withdrew from the super dandy system, he handed over the red brick firing process he had recorded to Lu Yan.

And he opened his mouth and said to Lu Yan: "Take this secret firing recipe of my palace and find a suitable place to build a kiln near Chang'an City. Then fire red bricks for my palace to build Yiqiu Palace."

Although Lu Yan is a skilled carpenter, he is not very proficient in the method of firing kilns.But since Li Chengqian made the arrangement, Lu Yan naturally couldn't shirk it.

So he opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness, please rest assured, Caomin will definitely do his best. Burn red bricks for His Royal Highness as soon as possible."

"His Royal Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable. If the emperor finds out, His Royal Highness will inevitably be grounded again." Chang Sun Chong hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.

"Since you didn't leave, give Lu Yan some money. We can't just talk nonsense and order people around without money." Li Chengqian ignored the words of Chang Sun Chong, but directly explained.

At this time, Changsun Chong had a sad expression on his face, and he couldn't help but say in his heart: "People follow the prince to eat and drink spicy food, but I will not only get no good fruit by following the prince, but also use money to help the prince." Playing around with the prince."

……

"How is the construction of Yiqiu Palace going?" Li Shimin asked the master craftsman.

"Report to the emperor, His Royal Highness has ordered the suspension of work. So at present, I just prepare the required materials for His Royal Highness according to His Royal Highness's request." The master craftsman said to Li Shimin.

"His Royal Highness ordered the suspension of work. Can he say why he stopped work?" Li Shimin asked the master craftsman with a puzzled look on his face.

"His Royal Highness feels that the original drawings are not to his liking, and now His Royal Highness has re-drawn the drawings. He has appointed a special person to be responsible for the reconstruction of Yiqiu Palace." Master Jiang said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and sent the master craftsman away.Then he got up and went to the Lizheng Hall.

When Li Shimin came to Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun was playing with Jin Wang Li Zhi.

Seeing Li Shimin approaching, Jin Wang Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to salute.Then he stood aside very obediently.

But Empress Changsun saw that Li Shimin's face was a little angry, so she asked Li Shimin, "Second brother, I don't know who made you angry again."

"Who else is it? It's not your precious son Li Chengqian." Li Shimin said angrily.

"What trouble did Gao Ming get into again? He made you so angry. Besides, he is my son and not your son?" Empress Changsun said after glaring at Li Shimin.

"I shouldn't have rebuilt the Yiqiu Palace for him, just let him live in the current place, so that he won't be born again." Li Shimin said.

Afterwards, Li Shimin told Empress Changsun the words of the great craftsman.

Empress Changsun also looked helpless after hearing this.He secretly said in his heart that his son was too worried.

But in the final analysis, Empress Changsun still dotes on Li Chengqian very much.So he said to Li Shimin: "Second brother, don't be angry. I'll go to Gao Ming's residence later to see what he's going to do."

……

"His Royal Highness, this is a famous kiln maker in Chang'an City. He will be responsible for building the brick kiln for His Royal Highness, and he will definitely be able to burn high-quality red bricks." Lu Yan pointed to a person beside him, and spoke to Li Chengqian Said.

"Caomin Tong Shougang is meeting His Royal Highness. This is the place to build the brick kiln. Now Caomin has arranged to start construction, and it is estimated that it will be completed in more than ten days." Tong Shougang said to Li Chengqian.

"Very good, but the speed must be accelerated. I can wait for the bricks you burn to rebuild the Yiqiu Palace." Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"His Royal Highness, although there are a lot of red bricks used in the construction of Yiqiu Palace, it would be a bit wasteful to build such a brick kiln if only the red bricks used in Yiqiu Palace were fired."

"I don't know if His Royal Highness is willing to operate this brick kiln. The grass-roots can sell the red bricks. In this way, His Royal Highness will also have some extra income." Tong Shougang said to Li Chengqian.

"Nonsense, His Highness the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of the country. How can you manage this brick kiln? You want His Highness the Crown Prince to be the target of public criticism." Chang Sun Chong glared at Tong Shougang and said.

"Since when did you learn to be as stubborn as the Guozijian? Don't you know that money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible?" Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Chong and said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future emperor. How can he be short of money if he is sitting on the rivers and rivers of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the most humble. How can His Royal Highness lower his status." Chang Sun Chong said to Li Chengqian righteously.

"I really regret it a little now. I regret letting you be my Prince Sheren. It seems that I want to give you a systematic education."

"From tomorrow onwards, you will learn from Ben Gong's side, so that you will not be useless in the future." Li Chengqian said with a helpless expression.

Chang Sun Chong wanted to say something more, but Li Chengqian waved his hand at him.Then he said to Tong Shougang: "Fire a sufficient amount of red bricks for the palace first, and then you can operate this brick kiln."

Tong Shougang was naturally very happy when he heard Li Chengqian's words.So he nodded quickly and said to Li Chengqian: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness, your subordinates will definitely manage this brick kiln well."

Then Li Chengqian took Changsun Chong to inspect the brick kilns, and then went back to Chang'an City.

When Li Chengqian returned to his temporary residence in Tai Chi Palace, he saw Xiaorou standing there with a nervous expression on his face.

So Li Chengqian said jokingly: "Is it because I haven't seen Ben Gong for a day, and I already think about it?"

"His Royal Highness is still in the mood to tease the servants here, you should think about how to explain to the empress later." Xiao Rou said after glaring at Li Chengqian.

"What did you say, you said that mother came to my residence?" Li Chengqian hurriedly asked Xiao Rou.
