At this time, Li Jing also had a bad expression on his face: "Master Wan, you are joking about the military supply issue.

This horseshoe is a weapon for military supplies, how can you despise it so much"

At this time, Wan Kuan's face did not change at all, he just said lightly: "Your Majesty, Li Shangshu, in fact, Wei Chen is not negligent in his duties.

On the contrary, Wei Chen has been thinking hard about the horseshoe thing these days."

When Li Shimin heard this, he laughed in anger.

"Wan Kuan, I heard right, you are thinking hard"

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is indeed thinking hard every night, and it's hard to fall asleep!"

Wan Kuan didn't change his color and his heart didn't beat, while Li Jing, who was beside him, pondered for a while and said.

"Superintendent Wan, this old man knows that this really makes Superintendent Wan quite embarrassed.

But Dajian Wan has not made a single horseshoe until now, which is really unreasonable!"

After listening to Li Jing's words, Li Shimin said loudly: "Pharmacist, don't listen to Wan Kuan's nonsense, he didn't think hard at all.

This kid goes out to play in the mountains and waters every day, and he is right to sing poetry with others!"

When Wan Kuan heard this, his face was a little surprised. How did Li Shimin know what he had done? Did he send someone to follow him? Li Shimin saw Wan Kuan's surprised expression, and finally felt a little more comfortable in his heart. This little brat was also surprised at times.

In front of Li Shimin, Wan Kuan always looks like he has a clear heart in his chest. Li Shimin is also unconvinced when he sees it, but seeing Wan Kuan's expression this time, Li Shimin finally moved back to [-]%:.

At this time, Wan Kuan also noticed Li Shimin's proud expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen did indeed go to the edge of the Wei River, but he did not go to visit the mountains and waters, but to conduct an on-the-spot investigation."

"Field trips"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, but immediately became angry again: "Wan Kuan, you still dare to lie to me, are you not afraid of deceiving the emperor?"

As soon as Li Shimin said these words, he was so frightened that the other prisoners could not stand up.

Bullying the king is a serious crime, and you have to beheaded! And Li Jing was also a little surprised, this Wankuan eight things have become a big deal.

Young man, it's okay to admit your mistakes, why do you have to fight against the emperor?

Chapter 90

In the prison, Li Shimin stared at Wan Kuan with a pair of eyes, trying to see the look of fear on his face.

However, Wan Kuan disappointed Li Shimin.

From beginning to end, there was no fear in Wan Kuan's face.

At this time, the cold air in the prison was excruciatingly cold, and the source of the cold air came from Li Shimin.

Li Jing on the side also turned slightly, not daring to get too close to Li Shimin.

At this time, Wan Kuan smiled and took two more steps towards Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and the ministers dare not deceive you!"

Li Shimin was also a little helpless by Wan Kuan. After he became emperor, no one dared to be so calm in front of him.

Even some veteran officials have to avoid their edge when they lose their temper.

But Wan Kuan, this kid, is not afraid of himself at all.

That's because the blood is connected, so Wan Kuan is not afraid? Li Shimin hesitated, but still said: "Okay, since you said that you go to the field.

Then I ask you, what does your horseshoe have to do with Weishui?"

Wan Kuan smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, craftsmen alone cannot make horseshoes.

Therefore, I want to borrow the power of the Wei River!"

"The Power of the Wei River"

Li Shimin and Li Jing were both stunned, how could the power of this river be borrowed? "Wan Kuan, don't use some nonsense to deceive me."

"Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you!"

"How to borrow the power of this river"

"Your Majesty, in this farmer's field, some farmers will set up waterwheels on the river. Isn't this borrowing the river to manage?"

After listening to Wan Kuan's words, Li Shimin was a little dazed for a while.

And Li Jing on the side said: "Jiang Wan, this waterwheel can only drive a little water over the high slope, how can it be used to make horseshoes?"

Wan Kuan chuckled: "Li Shangshu, the stream in the field is naturally not very powerful.

But this Weishui Tangtang is in summer, the current is swift, and its strength cannot be... underestimated!"

"Li Shangshu, if you put a big rock as tall as a person in front of you, can you lift it up?"

Wan Kuan asked with a smile.

Li Jing shook his head: "How tall is one person, no one in the Tang Dynasty can lift it up.

Not even Qin Qiong and Yu Chi Gong!"

Then Li Shimin touched his beard and said, "That's right, a big rock as tall as one person has to weigh more than [-] jin, who can lift it?"

At this time, Wan Kuan smiled: "This man can't lift it up, but throw the stone into the river, and the river can wash the stone downstream.

Your Majesty, the power of this river is greater than that of a human being!"

And Li Shimin frowned and asked, "No matter how powerful the Wei River is, how can this river not wash steel into the shape of a horseshoe!"

"Your Majesty, the power of this river is created by heaven and earth. Naturally, you can't borrow the power of the river as you want, you have to use something!"

"what"

Li Shimin and Li Jing asked together.

"Water Turbine!"

"Water Turbine"

Li Shimin and Li Jing both looked confused.

At this time, Li Jing handed over his hands and asked, "Master Wan, what is a water turbine?"

At this moment, Wan Kuan beckoned, and then Yu Shaojian trotted over.

"Your Majesty, Master Li, this water turbine was created by the Han Dynasty.

The water turbine is shaped like a big wheel. When the water turbine is placed in the center, it will be rotated by the flowing water in the river.

When the wheel turns, the shaft in the middle turns too."

Yu Shaojian talked about the things to be built, and he was so eloquent: "When the shaft in the middle rotates, it can drive many things to rotate.

A stone mill can be added to the shaft, so that the millstone can be turned by the force of the river."

Li Shimin suddenly realized after hearing this, and his face showed joy.

On the other hand, Li Jing was a little worried: "Yu Shaojian, since the water turbine has such power, why didn't you take out the water turbine as soon as possible... wait until the fire burns: the eyebrows are over, and then I think of the water turbine"

Being so frightened by Li Jing, Yu Shaojian immediately panicked.

When the young supervisor panicked, he began to stutter.

"Master Li, this turbine is not so easy to use.

It can only be used when the river water is stable, if the water flow is too fast and the wheel turns too fast, the middle shaft will be worn off.

Therefore, the power of the water turbine is not large, and it can only grind flour."

As soon as Yu Shaojian said these words, Li Shimin and Li Jing turned gloomy at the same time.

"Wan Kuan, aren't you entertaining me with something useless, why bring it up?"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, this kid started talking nonsense again, and he couldn't be fooled by him this time.

At this time, Wan Kuan waved his hand lightly: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient."

"You boy!"

Li Shimin was pissed off by Wan Kuan.

He also asked me to be calm and not irritable, as if I were a hairy boy.

"Your Majesty, the previous turbine could only grind flour, but the improved turbine can make horseshoes!"

"you..."

Li Shimin finished, pointing at Wan Kuan, speechless, he didn't know if what Wan Kuan said was true or not.

Wan Kuan looked at Li Shimin and Li Jing who looked surprised, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the turbine made by this minister is not afraid of big water flow, the greater the water flow, the greater the power.

Otherwise, why would the minister go to Weishui for inspection?"

"Don't you go to the Weishui side for a private meeting with the little lady of the Wu family?"

Li Shimin blurted out naturally.

"How does Your Majesty know that the minister and the little lady of the Wu family are having a private meeting by the Weishui River?"

Wan Kuan frowned.

Li Shimin also knew that what he said was wrong at this time, and Li Jing, who was beside him, immediately lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

"This... I just happened to relax by the Weishui River, and I didn't see it!"

Li Shimin explained casually.

After Wan Kuan heard it, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "So it is, the little lady of the Wu family is smart and clever, and the minister asked her to accompany her on the inspection."

After Li Shimin heard this, he gritted his teeth secretly, this kid is really thick-skinned.

They were all exposed, and they dared to lie, but at this time, Li Shimin could no longer pursue this matter, and could only pinch his nose and admit Wan Kuan's clumsy lie.

"Then you can build a new water turbine for making horseshoes"

Li Shimin asked.

Wan Kuan looked at Li Shimin's dignified appearance and nodded.

"Well, I ask you, when will you be able to build a new turbine"
