It's August, and the wheat in the wheat fields is about to mature.
After a while, Li Min will harvest again.
This time, people will definitely feel the same shock.
Moreover, five thousand acres of rice have also been planted.
All these lands were rented by Li Min from the common people at high prices. Some of them even agreed to provide farmers with seeds, so if they had enough land, they would naturally be willing to use them.
During this period, Li Shimin did not stop anything.
Just let him do it.
As long as nothing happens to him, it's up to him.
After all, it's up to him to do this.
Li Shimin was still happy thinking that more rice would be planted in the future and that as long as next year, there would be no famine in the Tang Dynasty.
So no matter what Li Min wanted to do, no one said anything.
He would even give him convenience.
One thousand acres of farmland was also given to build hydraulic facilities, etc.
This is equivalent to giving yourself convenience.
It had been some time since Li Min asked Wang Xuance to go to Taizhou, and he brought back some good news from Taizhou.
First, several wealthy bosses in Taizhou were tamed by him.
Then he found a shipyard and started building a ship.
I didn't expect it to be effective so quickly. Wang Xuance's ability is really powerful, and the investment returns this time are huge.
As for the power of the ship, Li Min naturally couldn't let it go.
Long before that, he had asked Li Yun to study steam engines.
At the same time, he is also preparing to build a China Unicom project between Chang'an and Taizhou.
In order to facilitate the transportation of things from Chang'an to Taizhou, to outsiders, he seemed to be somewhat concerned about his future father-in-law.
After all, why not somewhere else but Taizhou?
Therefore, everyone thought that he was doing it for Su Yu.
But what he wanted to say was that this was not the case, and Taizhou was in an excellent location and very close to the Japanese territory. There were also familiar people there, so it was the most suitable place!
At the same time, why build China Unicom facilities? Because Chang'an's Shengtang Group represents the most advanced manufacturing technology in the entire Datang.
It is absolutely impossible for Taizhou alone to build useful battleships.
Therefore, some things still need to be transported. If they are pulled by horse-drawn carriages, it will take years and months to arrive. Naturally, modern transportation equipment is needed.
He also calculated that it was time for the Japanese to attack. As long as everything was settled before next summer, everything would be fine.
Why is it summer?
Because at this time, if we prepare for a while, it will be autumn. After autumn, winter will not be far away.
Fighting in winter is a very thankless task for the north.
Therefore, after everything is ready, choosing to attack Datang in the summer is undoubtedly the best time.
So there is still time.
In fact, even if they unite, they are no match for Datang.
It means that Datang will lose some military strength.
It will also cause some people on the border to be oppressed.
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Min decided to strike first.
Before the Japanese attack, capture the Japanese country first.
Therefore, he also stepped up research in some aspects.
And his closed-door research made Li Shimin a little anxious.
He especially wanted to know what Li Min had done.
So, he found Fang Xuanling and wanted to ask something.
As for why Li Yun was not approached, it was also because Li Yun was so honest that Li Shimin could not find out the reason no matter how much he asked.
Therefore, we had to start with Fang Xuanling, who has been appearing in the Shengtang Group recently.
In the Daming Palace.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
After Fang Xuanling saluted, he asked again: "I wonder why your Majesty asked me to come here?"
Li Shimin looked at the scenery outside and turned around.
Looking at the other party, he said slowly:
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the Shengtang Group seems to be a little quiet recently. You are more accepting of them. I just want to ask you to ask what that kid has been doing recently!"
Li Min has always been very quiet, but this time he was very quiet.
Li Shimin was very puzzled.
He also asked people to investigate, but they could only look at the situation outside, and he had no idea what was going on inside.
Therefore, the more this happens, the more people feel that Li Min is going to cause trouble and cause a big incident.
"As far as I know, the Sixth Prince seems to have done nothing! He is doing well within the group!"
Li Shimin was not happy when he heard this.
He doesn't think so!
"What do you mean by not doing anything? Did you know that near the Shengtang Group, there will be a whining sound at night, which makes people unable to sleep. The people have great opinions on this. How can there be nothing?
thing?"
When Fang Xuanling heard this, it turned out that Li Shimin wanted to ask about Li Min.
This is scary.
"this……"
"Tell me, what is he doing?"
Li Shimin asked again.
"It's actually nothing!"
"Don't lie to me anymore..."
Fang Xuanling wanted to say, you already know, why are you asking me?
Why not ask Li Yun directly?
This emperor is really puzzling.
Finally, Fang Xuanling knew that there was no way to hide it.
Then he said: "The Sixth Prince is studying steam engines!"
"Steam chicken, is it delicious?"
Fang Xuanling almost fainted.
The ancients had never heard these words, and their first reaction must have been food.
Steam chicken is indeed such a thing.
"According to the Sixth Prince, it is a new kind of power, just like the power of an electric car."
Li Shimin was puzzled.
"What kind of existence is that?"
"In the words of the Sixth Prince, this thing can fill the shortcomings of electric vehicles."
“What shortcomings can electric vehicles have?”
Li Shimin couldn't think of it for a while.
"Battery life is not guaranteed at all!"
Li Shimin suddenly realized it.
That's what it meant.
"So, what does he mean?"
"As long as there is a steam engine, as long as there is fuel and water, it can take people anywhere!"
As soon as this came out, Li Shimin was shocked.
The charging of electric vehicles has always been something he has criticized.
Sometimes, he also thinks about how great it would be if there was a car that didn't need to be charged.
But now, with this steam engine, everything seems possible.
"So how does this thing compare to electric cars?"
"I heard that it won't be fast at first, but after it stabilizes, it can keep moving and can pull thousands of people at a time!"
Judging from Fang Xuanling's description, Li Shimin seemed to have heard something.
He was full of desire for this thing.
"If this is the case, then Datang will become smaller!"
Li Shimin's pattern is just different.
The Tang Dynasty has become smaller, but it is not the land area that has become smaller, but the distance between people.
Trade will be faster.
“There’s so much it can do!”
Fang Xuanling learned something from Li Min and went to show it off to Li Shimin.
