It's time for dinner.
Today's seats are different.
Li Shimin and Su Chen are at the same table with the other eight ministers. They must have something to discuss.
No one drinks.
After the meal, Li Shimin asked directly:
"Boy, I have read your letter. Study hard in the future.
If you dare to make such a memorial next time, you will be punished with 20 strokes of the cane."
Su Chen heard it and immediately objected.
"Your Majesty, I don't agree with this. A memorial is a report. Make things clear. The simpler the better.
There is no need to be flowery. It's okay to write to Your Majesty, but if Your Majesty is issuing policies.
It's so profound. Who can understand it for the common people?"
Li Shimin nodded after listening, and actually agreed. "What you said seems to make sense. I will think about it carefully." After speaking, he looked at Su Chen and hesitated.
"Your Majesty, you want to ask me why you use the money from the treasury to build this road, right?"
Su Chen knew that Li Shimin would definitely ask this question, otherwise he would not arrange the seats like this.
"That's right. Please tell me in detail. I and all of you would like to hear the details."
Su Chen nodded and said slowly:
"I want to transform all the main roads of the Tang Dynasty into cement roads in the future. But this requires a process and it is impossible to complete all at once.
This road is of great use and can be said to be a demonstration project."
Li Shimin was naturally inspired when he heard this. He had seen cement roads.
But he had no money!
Now, someone is concerned about money.
"Lord Su, I would like to ask what kind of road this cement road is and how much it costs?"
Dai Zhou asked first. He could be said to be the steward in charge of the military and money of the Tang Dynasty.
"Cement roads are not afraid of wind, rain, and sun. They are durable and can't be crushed by carriages. They are very flat."
Changsun Wuji had seen cement roads.
However, Changsun Wuji frowned.
"Su kid, have you ever thought that a carriage on a cement road might hurt the horse's hooves?"
Li Shimin nodded. Yes, it costs tens of millions of guan to buy a horse.
"My Lord, you don't know that the Tang Dynasty needs to spend tens of millions of guan every year to replenish war horses.
It's not because the horses are old, but because the horses' hooves are damaged." Dai Zhou quickly cried miserably. How much does it cost to build a road?
And it hurts the horses, how can it be tolerated!
Just increase the cost several times and tell Su Chen.
When I came here, Li Shimin had already told me that even if I had to build a road.
I must get the price down!
Su Chen frowned slightly after hearing this. "Injury to the horse's hooves?" Suddenly I thought of the three-piece set for war horses!
Su Chen stood up first, bowed, and said with a smile:
"Uncle Dai, don't call me Marquis, you can call me Su Chen or kid.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded secretly:
"Wait until I finish eating, draw something, and then you don't have to worry about the horse's hoof being damaged in the future."
Su Chen said casually, sat down and continued to eat.
Everyone seemed to have pressed the pause button.
Drawing something will solve the problem?
That would be great!
Note: Buy horses in the East Market, saddles in the West Market, bridles in the South Market, and long whips in the North Market.
Horseshoes have existed since the Han Dynasty, so don't replace official history.
...
"What are you waiting for? Go and draw it, and have someone make it after you finish drawing it. "
Li Shimin stood up, slapped the table, and the others prepared to leave.
This is a big deal!
Su Chen sat alone, picking up food with chopsticks and putting it into his mouth.
He was startled, looked up at everyone innocently, why were he so excited?
Li Shimin gave a look, and Lao Cheng and Lao Hei carried Su Chen to the study.
Su Chen still had chopsticks in his hand. Fortunately, he was taller than Lao Cheng and Lao Hei, otherwise it would be like taking a prisoner to the execution ground.
"Draw quickly! "
Su Chen had no choice. He was an outsider and couldn't beat these locals.
Put down the chopsticks and pick up the pen.
After drawing the horseshoe, he also drew the saddle and stirrups. The drawing was very detailed, even the nails were drawn, and the five components of the saddle were also explained.
When Su Chen finished drawing and put the three pieces together, the system was crying silently.
"The size of this thing should be the same as the width of the horse's hoof. The error is not big. Before nailing it, you need to use a sharp tool to flatten the bottom of the horse's hoof."
When Li Shimin heard that it was nailed and cut, wouldn't it hurt the horse?
He was too lazy to ask. They just did what Su Chen said.
Su Chen pointed to the saddle and said:
"This is a saddle. It is placed and fixed on the horse's back. It makes people more stable when sitting on it, and the balanced pressure makes the horse more comfortable.
This allows the soldiers to exert their full combat power as if they were on flat ground, without worrying about falling off the horse.
This ring is used for stepping, called a stirrup. "
"Zhijie, send it to the Ministry of Works as fast as possible and make it quickly. I want to see it today."
Li Shimin directly ordered Cheng Yaojin to personallyGo and do it yourself.
"Uncle Cheng, wait!"
Cheng Yaojin took the blueprint and was about to run.
Su Chen hurriedly called Cheng Yaojin, "Uncle Cheng, these things are easy to make, but they must be kept secret and not let the enemy's spies know.
If we can make it, others can make it too."
Li Shimin was shocked when he heard it. Yes, this is to be used in the army, and it is best to win by surprise.
"Very good, thank goodness! I almost missed the big thing! Zhijie doesn't need to go."
Su Chen continued, "Now you can order people to make it, don't use it first, just test it secretly, and then take it out for equipment when there is a war."
"Hahaha! You are worthy of being my Tang Dynasty National Master!
Ke Ming put away the blueprints, and after returning to the palace, have someone make ten sets according to the blueprints first, try the effect, and remember to keep it secret!"
Du Ruhui didn't dare to be careless and put away the blueprints.
Li Shimin was happy. Yes, make a few sets first to try, and keep the others in stock before equipping them during the war.
Several people discussed in the study room again about Su Chen's request for 600,000 guan.
Finally, after Dai Zhou's miserable and poor speech, Su Chen received a grant of 580,000 guan from Li Shimin.
...
When Li Shimin and his friends came to the living room, the chairs in the living room were all arranged in rows.
Everyone sat down according to the seats in the morning.
Princess Changle and her two best friends also sat down.
"What are you doing?" It was unknown who Li Shimin was asking.
"Father, Su Chen will continue to teach us in the afternoon. The afternoon is after noon."
Li Tai stepped forward to clear up Li Shimin's doubts.
"Class? What class?
What does this symbol mean? Does anyone know?"
Li Shimin pointed to the words on the blackboard and asked the ministers present. He had seen the blackboard before, but it was the side without words.
The ministers shook their heads, "We don't know!"
Princess Changle smiled and said:
"Father, uncles, you will feel that you have opened the door to a new world after learning these lowercase numbers."
Li Shimin and others still don't understand.
"Uncle, how about you and Chuliang compete in counting? Please ask Uncle Fang to ask questions."
Changle suddenly thought of something fun.
"What? Let that bastard compete with Lao Yinpi in counting?
Hehe, Princess, if you don't like Da Niu, just beat him to death."
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, what was there to compare, his stupid son was not even as good as him.
Changsun Wuji was famous for counting quickly.
You think Lao Yinpi is called that for nothing, because he is good at calculating.
"Daddy, I want to compete with Uncle Changsun." Da Niu was not convinced, everyone praised him today!
Li Shimin and others stared at Da Niu for a while and found that he was not afraid?
"Xuanling, you come and ask questions."
Everyone found a seat to watch the show, and they were just about to eat some melon seeds.
Fang Xuanling started to ask questions, and he asked three questions in a row, and Daniu won all of them.
How could he not win! All of them were three-digit addition and subtraction.
"Uncle Fang, these are too easy for you, let's ask tens of thousands."
The first three questions shocked everyone. How did Daniu figure out the answers so quickly?
Did he get it?
Now he needs tens of thousands? In the past, Daniu would get it wrong even if he calculated tens of tens.
Everyone looked at each other, and they could see shock and confusion in each other's eyes.
"Calculate tens of thousands for him."
Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling to continue asking questions, and Changsun Wuji did not continue to calculate, because he knew he could not calculate as well as Daniu now.
Daniu finished the calculation quickly, and Fang Xuanling and the others began to verify the answer.
They spent a lot of time and the answer they calculated was the same as Daniu's.
"Daniu, how long have you been learning from Su Chen?" Li Shimin looked at Daniu and stared at him.
"Your Majesty, I studied for more than half an hour this morning."
Li Shimin and the others were so surprised now.
A talent like Daniu, who studied for more than half an hour, beat Changsun Wuji?
Cheng Yaojin patted Daniu on the shoulder and said happily.
"Hehe, Daniu, Dad has seen that you have a promising future since you were young!"
Cheng Yaojin had never been so proud, his silly son finally had a promising future.
He could do addition and subtraction.
