Li Shimin laughed guiltily, rubbed his hands, and rubbed his cheeks that were stiff from the cold.
"Look at how cold it is, how about we sit down at your place and warm ourselves up?"
You're quite rude!
That’s okay too.
It's freezing cold here, so it's really not a good place to brag.
Seeing that there was hope for a solution to the food problem, Wang Zi'an felt much better. He ignored Wei Zheng, who had a dead face, put his arm around Li Shimin's shoulders, and walked back first.
"Let's go, Old Wei——"
Li Shimin turned around to say hello.
He was worried about this stubborn old man, so he turned around and ran away.
Seeing Li Shimin and Wang Zi'an walking arm in arm in front, without any royal dignity at all, Wei Zheng couldn't help but frown slightly. He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak. He raised his feet and followed silently.
He was also very curious as to why his majesty, who always valued dignity, showed no airs of an emperor in front of this arrogant little scholar, and was quite obedient, even submissive.
Returning to his warm nest again, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It was really cold this winter, and with his current physique, he couldn't stand it even if he didn't wear enough clothes. He had to find someone quickly when he came back.
I missed the thick and warm feeling when I made a cotton coat.
Wang Zi'an's hut had a long chimney and was burning brightly almost twenty-four hours a day. Compared with the outside, it was like a completely different world.
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng couldn't help but rub their hands together as if they had been saved. They almost froze as they stood outside for a while.
Li Shimin was familiar with this temperature difference, but Wei Zheng was a little confused. He looked up and down Wang Zi'an's room with a look of surprise on his face.
"Why is it so warm here?"
Wang Zi'an glanced at Wei Zheng, who seemed to be transformed into a curious baby, and pointed at the stove.
"See for yourself - Hey, what are you doing, don't grab it with your hands..."
Wang Zi'an rushed forward and pushed him aside.
“You can grill meat on this…”
Wang Zi'an glanced at Wei Zheng speechlessly, is this guy so stunned? If you don't look at it, the stove is burning red - Eh? It's not red anymore.
I forgot that it was stuffy when I went out, and now the color of the stove has returned to its normal deep black color.
Wei Zheng pulled away Wang Zi'an's big hand with some embarrassment, but knowing that Wang Zi'an meant well, he was not angry. Instead, he observed the iron lump in front of him with interest. He was amazed.
"The heating effect is so good - I'm afraid it costs a lot of money?"
"Old Wei? Stop thinking blindly. This thing is not made of ordinary charcoal? It is treated charcoal. It is very cheap. Ten or twenty cents can burn it for a whole winter..."
Unable to bear to see his humerus minister make a fool of himself in front of Wang Zi'an, Li Shimin, dumbfounded, grabbed Wei Zheng, who was squatting and studying the stove, and explained.
"Stone? Carboniferous?!"
Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly widened!
"You mean - is it the method you mentioned to deal with carbolic smoke? That's it? It was this young man who did it?!"
Li Shimin smiled and nodded.
I just like your stupid look of shock and inexplicable ignorance. Li Shimin gained a sense of psychological superiority? He was in a very good mood.
When Wei Zheng heard this, he actually straightened his clothes seriously and straightened his expression, and bowed deeply to Wang Zi'an solemnly.
"This thing will benefit all people? In a few years, people all over the world will no longer suffer from freezing to death. Can it be said that the success is now? The benefits will be in the future. I thank you for your kindness on behalf of all people in the world!"
Wang Zi’an:……
Are you still good for the future and will not be scolded by future generations? I will be very happy, okay?
Wang Zi'an complained in his heart, but quickly got out of the way.
You are so old? You are shortening my life by giving me such a big gift.
At this point, Wang Zi'an was no longer angry with Wei Zheng. He finally figured out that this old Wei was not a bad speaker, but he was sloppy in his reading.
The old accountant of a wealthy businessman, full of feelings for his family and country, actually has the spirit of "I can live in tens of thousands of mansions and shelter all the poor people in the world with joy, even if my house is broken down and I freeze to death".
Such a person may be sarcastic and harsh in his words, but his character is generally very strong. You don't know whether to admire him or pity him.
"Oh, Lao Li, you have a good sense. Where did you find such a treasure? With this person guarding the accounting room for you, you are considered to have burned a lot of incense - absolutely reliable!"
Li Shimin:......
It's quite reliable, but it makes me want to die every day.
Li Shimin complained in his heart, with a complacent look on his face.
"It goes without saying that the person I chose is unreliable -"
As he spoke, he skillfully pulled up a chair, sat down comfortably at the table, and poured himself a glass of hot water.
"You are considered a rich man after all. You can also buy some good tea and drink plain water at your place every day -"
Wang Zi’an:……
If you don't like it, don't drink it.
I can't bear the way you Tang Dynasty makes tea like vegetable soup. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fry tea. Otherwise, I can drink hot tea by frying some myself.
Wang Zi'an complained in his heart, turned around and pulled up a chair for himself.
"It would be nice to have some drinks - by the way, Lao Wei, you're welcome, just sit down wherever you want."
Although Wei Zheng sat down, his eyes were not idle. He kept looking at Wang Zi'an's small house, and everything was obviously fresh.
You can't be serious with this kind of person.
Wang Zi'an ignored him and looked at Li Shimin happily.
"Come on, Lao Li, what's going on with those grains and grass, tell me -"
"The matter of food and grass is not urgent. Let's talk about the affairs between His Majesty and the Guanzhong family first..."
Li Shimin raised his tea cup guiltily and took a sip of water.
If I tell you now that those grain crops can't be moved in Bianzhou, I'm afraid you, a bastard, will have to turn your back immediately?
"Okay, let's talk about it, but just listen to it, but don't go out and act blindly. If it gets to the ears of those aristocratic families, we will be in big trouble..."
Wang Zi'an, whose drunkenness had somewhat dissipated, gave some uneasy instructions.
"You still can't trust my character? You said, we will definitely keep it secret!"
Li Shimin said and glanced at Wei Zheng again.
"Don't worry, Old Wei is a boring gourd, and he has a very strict tone."
Wei Zheng nodded quickly, indicating that he must be strict with his words and would not go out and talk nonsense.
Only then did Wang Zi'an take a sip of water and consider his words.
"In the end, in the final analysis, we can't blame anyone else for this matter. It's our Majesty who has a guilty conscience!"
Wang Zi'an held the tea cup and shook his head gently.
"Guilty conscience?"
Li Shimin looked at Wang Zi'an with some confusion and said to himself, "Why don't I know this? What on earth am I guilty of?"
Wei Zheng, who was listening quietly beside him with his ears perked up, couldn't help but frown.
That's it?
After being dragged like this, I thought I would really have some superior opinions, but it turned out to be just nonsense!
