After following the gaze of Chang Sun Wuji beside him, Fang Xuanling's eyes changed slightly and he frowned subconsciously. However, after seeing the emperor not far away, his brows quickly relaxed again.
He returned his attention to the colleagues next to him.
Fang Xuanling is still very relieved about her son-in-law.
If another person had such contact with the King of Wu, Fang Xuanling might be alerted, but as for Li Yuanjia... Haha, this kid almost never goes to court and thinks about craftsmen and merchants every day. What are you worried about?
Could it be that he is conspired to push King Wu to the throne?
Haha, stop being ridiculous!
Not to mention that the King of Han and the King of Wu had almost never dealt with each other before. There was no such reason at all. Just say that with his status as the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, if he was not forced by others, why would he do such a thankless thing?
Could it be that if King Wu comes to power, he, the King of Han, will be promoted to a higher level?
It’s reached the top, okay!
Besides, based on Fang Xuanling's understanding of his son-in-law, this boy has no interest in politics at all! Moreover, Fang Xuanling firmly believed that not only did he understand this, but the emperor should also understand it, and even the king of Wu who was most afraid of and hated him
Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, should also understand!
Sure enough, in just two or three breaths, Changsun Wuji withdrew his gaze and started talking and laughing with his colleagues around him again.
"well!"
After discovering this, Fang Xuanling's eyelids twitched twice, and then he sighed heavily.
Somewhat pleased, but more disappointed.
Although he knew that in Li Yuanjia's position, doing so was actually a good choice, but Fang Xuanling, who was the first judge of the scholarly family, still couldn't stand his son-in-law's behavior - you, a prince, have no worries about food and drink, and live a comfortable life.
, even if you can't get involved in politics, wouldn't it be better to spend more time on playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially academics?
Fang Xuanling remembered very clearly that this son-in-law was a book collector!
Nowadays, the number of books in the Han Palace and the richness of various unique books are probably second only to His Majesty back then... Wouldn't it be better to spend more time on this? With Li Yuanjia's talent as a child, and the fact that Fang Xuanling was in daily contact with him,
The talent of discovery, if you concentrate on learning, you may become a master!
His name will last forever, isn't he fragrant?
He had to study those things... Even though he knew that the emergence of things like Quyuanli and Rollover would be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling still couldn't let go.
Everything is inferior, only reading is superior!
Just when Fang Xuanling's eyes darkened and he felt a little disappointed, Li Yuanjia was actively promoting his cement: "Xiao Ke, in fact, in the long run, cement roads are more cost-effective, because once they are paved, they will
There is no need for people to maintain it every year. Even if it breaks a little occasionally, it doesn't matter. Just replace the small piece with new cement... Of course, you don't have to be too anxious to try it now. My people are still here
There’s no harm in waiting two or three years to do experiments.”
While talking, Li Yuanjia also wanted to slap his thigh!
Gee, why didn’t you think of it earlier?
There is nothing that can be done in other places, but over there in Luzhou... Although it is said that King Xu Li Lingkui is the governor, if it really comes down to it, isn't it Li Yuanjia who has the final say?
That kid Li Lingkui almost never refutes his brother's words!
Just by building cement roads in Fucheng or in the valleys outside the city, the frequency of use is still too low, and it is impossible to test the durability of the cement roads!
But strictly speaking, Li Yuanjia is still very confident.
The reason why cement roads in the future will often need to be renovated, which means they will often break down, is that the daily pressure is too great! Cars weighing several tons or even dozens of tons pass by hundreds or thousands of cars every day.
Can it not break down? But during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the final car only weighed a few hundred kilograms. No matter how much it was used, it would break down.
If someone was willing to build a few roads, wouldn't that be the best testing ground?
only……
After listening to what the emperor's uncle said just now, Li Ke was a little confused: "But... emperor's uncle, the cost of building a road is too high. I was a little scared when you just said it."
"This...is indeed true."
Blinking his eyes, Li Yuanjia smiled and said: "So it depends on your own thoughts. But if there is no cement road, this four-wheeled carriage will not be of much use to be honest, especially those dirt roads. A little rain will be enough.
.”
"……Too."
The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and Li Ke nodded helplessly.
What he wanted most was a four-wheeled carriage, because after trying it once, he never wanted to ride on two wheels again. But when he thought about the weight of this carriage and the condition of those dirt roads...
"If that doesn't work, just lay some stone pavements in the city!"
After thinking for a moment, Li Ke said with a helpless smile.
"Well……"
After hearing what he said, Li Yuanjia was startled at first, and then couldn't help but roll his eyes - paving the road with stone slabs is cheaper than using cement. This kind of thing only happened in ancient times, right?
However, he also knew that cement was too difficult to work with. If nothing else, the fuel problem alone would be enough to worry him to death, so even if he was looking forward to it, he had nothing to say at this time.
But Li Yuanjia is concerned about his younger brother Li Lingkui.
In any case, Luzhou should be the future Shanxi area. If you put some effort into looking for it, there will definitely be no shortage of things like coal! So while casually chatting with his nephew, Li Yuanjia's thoughts had already flown to his younger brother.
side……
"Uncle, uncle?"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Just when Li Yuanjia was distracted as usual, Li Ke suddenly tugged on his sleeve and reminded him in a low voice: "Father...Father is coming over."
"Ah? Oh, okay."
With a thought in his heart, Li Yuanjia quickly looked at the room profile shown by Li Ke, and sure enough he saw Emperor Li Shimin walking over with a happy face: "Haha, what are you two uncles and nephews talking about?"
After standing up and saluting, Li Yuanjia didn't waste any time and said with a smile: "Xiao Ke met Fang Jun a few days ago, so he also wanted a four-wheeled carriage. Didn't he ask me again... By the way, Your Majesty,
Brother Chen’s workshop outside the city made another good thing a few days ago!”
"Oh? What good stuff?"
With a raised eyebrow, Li Shimin's interest was immediately piqued.
Not only was Li Shimin interested, but even Li Ke blinked, looking very curious. In the past few days after returning, not only did he learn about the four-wheeled carriage, but Li Ke also learned a lot about his imperial uncle.
, knowing that anything coming out of Prince Han’s Mansion will make people’s eyes light up and make them unable to put it down.
Apart from anything else, he has really fallen in love with mahjong these days!
"Hehe, absolutely good stuff!"
Grinning, Li Yuanjia said: "Originally I wanted to put it in the gift list, but it was too fragile, so I took it with me and prepared to hand it to you personally..."
