Cheng Chubi looked at Li Yifu's serious face, and couldn't help but make a sound in surprise.

"Oh, I didn't expect this old Xu, who is over half a century old, to be so fast. He actually booked it again."

"That's right, the lower officials didn't expect that Xu Xiancheng, who is bearded and bearded, is busy with his busy schedule.

To be able to find time to talk about marriage in such a busy season. "Cai Ke'er has already explained that the price of such a set of iron stoves is only four hundred and fifty Wen.

But it can burn this kind of peat with a strong smell and smoky smoke.

Moreover, the heating effect is really impressive.

Li Shimin picked up the tongs on the side, held a piece of bituminous coal with a glossy surface, and said in detail.

"This peat, I can't count it in Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as extremely high-quality and cheap."

"But the lack of a suitable stove, nephew Chu Bixian, I don't know how to praise you..."

Hearing this and seeing Li Shimin's approving gaze, Cheng Chubi smiled shyly and walked forward.

"If uncle thinks this thing can really benefit the country and the people, then my nephew will feel at ease."

Seeing Cheng Chubi's appearance, Li Shimin almost laughed out loud, not knowing what this kid was thinking.

Ha ha a joy, caressing his long beard.

"Well, don't worry, what kind of person is this old man, but anyone who has made contributions to the court will definitely not be treated badly."

"Don't worry, the old man will think carefully about it, and when he turns back, someone will reward you with what should be given to you."

"My nephew, thank you for your uncle's kindness." Cheng Chubi couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to the wise and mighty Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

I can't help feeling a little more fond of the considerate Uncle Li in front of me, so I don't think about him jumping on the grave for the time being.

Li Jiqian over there sat down on his knees and cross-legged beside the iron stove, moving his neck happily.

"Your Majesty, I have to say that burning peat is indeed more comfortable than that carbon stove.

With such a big iron stove, the whole room feels a lot warmer, and it really feels as warm as spring. "

Ashnadur nodded in agreement, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, and shook his head in disbelief.

"It is true, especially on the grasslands, the Turkic people suffer the most in winter.

If it is possible to have such a stove, then life will be much better. Cheng Sanlang is really amazing..."

After hearing their praise and approval, Cheng Chubi said a few words modestly.

Stretching his hand into his bosom, he handed over the production instructions of the iron stove prepared in advance, including the drawings, to Li Shimin's hands.

Ask someone to fetch some refreshments, while sipping the chrysanthemum wolfberry tea that clears the liver, improves eyesight and maintains health.

Li Shimin carefully looked through the instructions and drawings that Cheng Chubi handed over.

Then he turned around and handed it over to Zhao Kun who was behind him, and asked him to lead someone to the Ministry of Industry to purchase a batch of iron stoves and bring them into the palace.

After finishing all this, Li Shimin sighed with emotion.

"This stove is really a good thing. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the old man consumes an astonishing amount of charcoal and bamboo charcoal every winter in the palace."

"If peat can be used instead, it will not only be warm, but also save the cost of the palace."

Li Ji quickly put down the tea bowl in his hand, and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty does not look at the people of the world at all times, he is really a wise king."

Gu Fu

Li Ji bowed, Cheng Chubi and the others naturally did not dare to neglect, they bowed down one after another, respectfully paying respects to the king who wanted to create a prosperous Tang Dynasty.

"Okay, everyone, get up, what is this..."

Although Li Shimin looked satisfied, he still waved his hands modestly.

"Although I am the Son of Heaven, I hope that my Great Tang can enjoy long-term peace and stability, but... the surrounding areas of the Great Tang.

There will always be many people with ulterior motives who will always want to take a bite when they see the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the Central Plains. "

"It's like Gaochang, which is just a small country. I treated him very well, but he repaid his kindness by passing by the border town and destroying my crops."

"I decided to reprimand him. If he dares to commit the crime again, then I will make him suffer the same fate as Tuyuhun."

Li Ji stroked his long beard and nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty is right, but Gaochang is farther away than Tuyuhun, and it goes deep into the Western Regions. If you want to take it, you must first plan well."

Cheng Chubi also realized immediately that Gao Changguo seemed to be in the Zhenguan period, because of the repeated coquettish jumps between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks.

In the end, he angered Li Shimin, the hero of the Tang Dynasty, and finally ordered the master Wu Ben's teacher to kill him.

Seeing that Li Shimin was so angry that his seven orifices were about to smoke, he must have almost been unable to hold back and wanted to do something.

Just when Cheng Chubi was thinking wildly, he happened to hear that Li Ji was discussing the issue of military supplies with Uncle Li.

Because if you want to go to Gaochang, you have to go deep into the Western Regions, and you have to guard against the countries of the Western Regions, even the Turks.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Datang's soldiers and horses will be in danger.

In this way, it will lead to problems in the supply of military supplies...

"Then let the soldiers carry more rations."

As a paramilitary enthusiast and a disciple of the generals, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but interrupt when he heard such a thing.

"Bring more rations? You kid said it lightly." Li Ji couldn't help but glared at Cheng Chubi.

"Soldiers generally march, and they can only carry ten days' rations at most. No matter how much they have, how can they still have the energy to carry armor?"

Hearing the word dry food, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but become curious.

"Uncle, what kind of rations do these soldiers eat?"

"Two liters of millet a day, and some pickles."

"raw?"

Li Ji was immediately happy.

"Nonsense, it's not raw. Could it be that we cooked it in advance~lightnovelpub.net~ I'm afraid that within two days, all the rations of the soldiers will be spoiled."

Li Shimin looked at the thoughtful Cheng Chubi, then at Li Ji, and then asked Cheng Chubi with a smile.

"What's the matter, nephew, why did you suddenly become interested in the rations of the soldiers?"

Cheng Chubi scratched his scalp and said. "Uncle, don't you think the rations of our Tang soldiers are a little too monotonous."

"And it's not just a monotonous problem. Only three catties of millet can meet the needs of soldiers for a day."

"If we say that it is possible to develop military rations that are light and can fully meet the dietary needs of soldiers."

"Let the soldiers who can only carry ten days of food become twenty days, or even one month's food..."

"Cheng Sanlang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Ji couldn't help puffing up his eyes.

"Do you know that if the soldiers can't eat two liters of rice a day, they will be hungry, hungry
