Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 150 I do what I say!
In fact, Lin Heng shouldn't be so nervous when he met Li Shimin in the palace, but he inevitably felt guilty because of what happened last night.

This father-in-law must know that he abducted Li Ningxi out, and he must also know that Li Ningxi returned very late.

With such a mood, it was difficult for Lin Heng to stay calm.

Li Shimin didn't look like that complaining on weekdays, at least not in front of Lin Heng.

He had just retired from the court and did not know that Lin Heng had come to the palace.

As a result, he was hit, and his usual tall and majestic image was gone.

It's also a little embarrassing.

Ever since, the two of them just said hello casually.

I won’t mention the fact that you abducted my daughter last night. Just pretend you didn’t see what happened just now!

"Haha, Heng'er, why do you have time to come to the palace? I thought I had to go see you in person every time!"

Li Shimin patted him on the shoulder, very hard.

Lin Heng smiled awkwardly and said, "I thought it would be embarrassing to have my father come over all the time, so I came to visit."

Li Shimin nodded slightly: "Are you going to make tea? Give me a cup, the tea is right there."

Lin Heng nodded vigorously and hurriedly did it.

After a while, they poured tea for the two of them and were relieved to see that Li Shimin didn't mention what happened last night.

After Changsun Wuji took a sip of hot tea, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what happened to the Korean envoy to make Your Majesty so angry?"

Li Shimin became furious when he mentioned the Korean envoy.

"Previously in the court, the Korean envoy threatened to send troops to the Tang Dynasty if we did not allow him to leave the northern border to deal with it. It is really arrogant for a small country to dare to be so rampant!"

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wugou also frowned slightly: "As for Korea, as far as I know, it seems that the national power is not very strong, right?"

To be honest, Goryeo's national power has not been very strong since ancient times. Compared to the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty, it seems that the only country that can compare with it is the island country across the sea.

As for the Turks, there is no comparison. The Turks can really compete with the Tang Dynasty in terms of strength. Of course, it is just a clamor. In a real fight, it is still a matter of judgment.

Therefore, Li Shimin was also very surprised: "That's why I can't figure out why he dares to be so arrogant. Do you really think that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty thought that he was unrivaled in strength just because he conquered Korea three times?"

When Lin Heng heard this, he also thought about this matter.

In order to show his national power, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered the conquest of Goryeo. However, because Chang'an was too far away from Goryeo, the army was not adapted to the local climate and combat environment when they arrived. Therefore, all three conquests failed. The Sui Dynasty was also greatly affected by this. The cause went into decline.

"Then how did His Majesty handle it?"

Li Shimin said angrily: "I told them to get lost. Heng'er, what do you think of this matter?"

When Lin Heng heard this, he also nodded: "My father's approach to this matter is very good. If my father cedes the land in the north, they will definitely attack our Tang Dynasty after they develop. Besides, how can the country's territory be handed over to others?" The truth?"

"The territory of the Tang Dynasty was obtained by our soldiers and people of the Tang Dynasty with their blood and even their lives. If we give it to others, wouldn't it make everyone in the world feel embarrassed and laugh?"

In this kind of matter, Lin Heng's view of right and wrong is very obvious. It is right not to give up an inch of territory to the territory of the family and the country!

For example, a certain dynasty in later generations, in order to ensure that its royal status was not infringed, ceded the country's land and signed some treaties that were humiliating and humiliating the country, and completely lost the face of 5000 years of Chinese civilization. It is not surprising that such a dynasty would be overthrown. Who can think highly of a country that is willing to give up its own home to others?
This indirectly led to great obstacles in the establishment of later countries, and even being looked down upon by foreigners for decades!

As long as you are a bloody person, you will not make any compromise on this matter!

Li Shimin nodded slightly when he heard Lin Heng's words, but he also had a headache.

"Now the Tang Dynasty has just escaped from the war, and the north has not yet recovered. If I refuse, war will begin!"

Lin Heng said with some confusion: "With the power of the Tang Dynasty, it should not be a problem to deal with a small country. It will definitely be much easier than attacking the Turks. Why is Your Majesty so worried?"

Li Shimin sighed: "You have never been on the battlefield, so you may not know that the battle between the two armies is very important, but the escort of grain and grass and the transportation of arms behind the scenes cannot be underestimated. From Chang'an to Goryeo, it is at least two thousand miles away. It is such a long distance. Such a distance, ordinary horses can't hold the distance at all." "This was the case in the Sui Dynasty. They knew that the horses were difficult to hold up, but still had to fight forcefully, which led to the failure of the Three Expeditions."

Two thousand miles?The horse can't hold on anymore?

Can't?It’s not like I’m going to make you run around day and night, so you’ll be able to rest?

Seeing Lin Heng's strange expression, Li Shimin explained: "I'm talking about the horse's hoof. Long-distance running will wear out very quickly, and the terrain in Goryeo is complicated. Once the horse's hoof is damaged, the horse will be almost useless."

Lin Heng suddenly realized that it was because of this!

He suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Are there no horseshoes in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Horseshoe, what is that?"

Seeing that Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou were confused, Lin Heng was about to explain.

【Ding!System trigger event selection! 】

[Choice [-]: Give it a try (you don’t intend to tell Li Shimin the solution directly), choose the reward: a pound of pepper seeds]

[Choice 1: Speak out (you directly tell Li Shimin the solution and ideas), choose the reward: sucrose production method x[-]]

[Choice [-]: Pretend to be stupid (you tell Li Shimin that you don’t know), choose the reward: "Detailed Explanation of the Production Methods of Different Types of Fireworks"]

Seeing that the system that had not been online for a long time was online, Lin Heng was slightly stunned.

Hiss. These rewards are very tempting!
There were no chili peppers in the Tang Dynasty. The spiciness used in cooking was another substitute. It could only simulate the spiciness, but it was far from the same.

It would be much better if there were chili peppers.

As for sucrose, it is indeed a good thing. Once mastered, it can greatly reduce the price of sugar. Nowadays, even the maltose on the market cannot be afforded by ordinary people.

Not to mention the third one, once obtained, it can directly shorten the fireworks research time of Lin Heng Workshop, and launch a variety of fireworks on the market in a short period of time.

All three are business opportunities, and they can all make a lot of money!
After thinking for a moment, Lin Heng chose the first one.

The second one is a substitute, and it is not considered a lower substitute. Maltose is sweeter than sucrose. Although the price is higher, it will not be of much use to Lin Heng now.

As for the third one, the time problem can be solved, so why waste such a good opportunity?
Seeing Lin Heng in a daze, Li Shimin became a little anxious: "Heng'er, what are you thinking about? What on earth is a horseshoe?"

Lin Heng came back to his senses, smiled and said: "I can find a way to reduce the wear and tear of horses' hoofs, at least to reduce the wear and tear of horses' hoofs by more than [-]%!"

When Li Shimin heard the news, he couldn't help but stood up excitedly.

"Heng'er, I know you can always help me at critical moments, tell me quickly!"

Changsun Wugou also smiled and said: "If this is really the case, you have done your father a great favor."

"Actually, I just have an idea. As for whether it can be done, we will have to wait and see."

Lin Heng smiled innocently.

Li Shimin was taken aback immediately.

You kid, you just said it could be solved, but now you say it’s just an idea, right?

Are you making fun of me?

Li Shimin also laughed immediately.

He looked calm and lightly patted Lin Heng's shoulder.

"If you can't come up with a solution within three days, at least you won't be able to see Ning Xi until we get married. I will do what I say!"
