Zhenguan territory map?
Isn’t it the territory map of the Tang Dynasty?
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Shimin in confusion.
Li Shimin lowered his head and looked at Li Chengqian with a sinister look: "What, do you have any objections?"
Opinion?
Do I dare to have any objections to the look in your eyes?
Li Chengqian had a doggy smile on his face: "How can you have any objections? My father is not only wise and mighty, but also has extraordinary literary talent. The name he chose is the best."
After the wave of rainbow farts was delivered, Li Shimin felt a little better.
As his eyes swept, Li Shimin saw Li Chengqian holding a picture in his hand.
"What is this picture?"
"Ah, this is..."
"Uh... Zhenguan wind propeller."
Li Chengqian very wisely added the word Zhenguan.
“What is a wind propeller?”
Li Shimin took the drawing from Li Chengqian. The drawings on it were completely incomprehensible to him.
"This is for improving the ship."
"Improved ship?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with some confusion.
Li Chengqian opened his mouth and explained: "If a wind propeller is added to the stern of the ship, with the wind and the sky, it can travel five hundred miles in the day and two hundred miles at night."
"Even on a windless day, we can travel three hundred in a day and a hundred at night."
After hearing this, Li Shimin subconsciously felt that Li Chengqian was bragging.
Now Datang's shipbuilding technology has actually led the world, but even so, it can only travel a hundred miles in a day and only fifty miles at night.
But this guy actually said that adding such a small thing can increase the range of travel ten times.
Isn't this bragging or something?
Li Shimin smiled slightly, threw the wind propeller aside and said, "I really don't believe this."
"Really don't believe it?"
"I really don't believe it."
"Then Father, do you still dare to make a bet with your child?"
"bet?"
Li Shimin raised his eyes, looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "How do you want to bet?"
"Just bet that if I add a propeller to the hull, it can travel five hundred miles a day."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin very seriously.
Seeing this, Li Shimin was also a little surprised.
Is this kid so confident?
"oh?"
"What if you win, so what if you lose?"
"If I lose, I will let my father do whatever I want. I won't say anything."
Li Chengqian raised his head and said, "But if I win, then my father will have to agree to my request."
"What request?"
"Let me go into business."
"impossible!"
"You don't have to think about doing business in this life, otherwise, I will break your legs."
Li Shimin was a little angry when he heard that Li Chengqian was still thinking about doing business.
Is this kid crazy about money?
How can a dignified prince not think about serving the country but only think about making money?
Li Shimin really felt that he should push this kid to the ground and give him a good beating at this time.
If he didn't fight, this kid would never remember it.
{Received anger value +38 from Li Shimin...}
Li Chengqian was a little frightened when he heard the system prompt.
He hurriedly walked to Li Shimin and said, "But Father, I really don't want to do this. I don't want to make this business easier for others."
"I went to Jiangnan this time and I made inquiries myself. The price of food there is only ten cents per dou, but the price of food in Chang'an is more than thirty cents per dou."
"If I go to the south to collect grain and sell it to the north, the price difference will be more than 20 cents..."
"I think you are dreaming."
"You think this business is so easy?"
Li Shimin was really going to be defeated by this guy's naivety.
But before he could say anything, Li Chengqian spoke first: "Didn't Father just want to talk about the losses on the road and other issues?"
"But Father, have you forgotten? I said that the boat I improved can travel five hundred miles a day."
"If we take the water route, Suzhou is only three thousand miles away from Chang'an. If I load my cargo ship with grain and grass, it will take no more than ten days to reach Chang'an."
"Even if there are more losses in ten days, how much can they be?"
"this……"
Li Shimin is not a fool.
If he were a fool, he wouldn't be where he is today.
After Li Chengqian said this, he basically understood something.
If we can really reach Chang'an from Suzhou within ten days, then this business may really be possible.
Nowadays, the grain business in the south is controlled by aristocratic families.
Li Shimin had been staring at this piece of fat sheep for who knows how long. It was because he didn't think of a good way that he kept delaying.
But now that Li Chengqian said these words, it really woke up Li Shimin.
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Tell me the truth, did you do this to target the noble family?"
Targeting the aristocratic family?
This is really an injustice to myself.
Li Chengqian simply wanted to benefit the people while making money.
But at this time, he couldn't say this.
If you tell me, but don't say you'll get beaten, I'm afraid it won't be good.
Therefore, Li Chengqian pretended to be resolute and said: "If the family is not eliminated, there will be future troubles."
"But the aristocratic family is deeply rooted in various places, and we cannot use the stupid method of cutting through the mess with a quick knife like the previous Yang Emperor."
"The only way is to boil frogs in warm water and slowly boil them to death."
Li Shimin was really surprised when he heard this.
This guy actually knows how to use power and tactics to plan.
This was even more surprising to Li Shimin than Li Chengqian presenting an atlas.
And the most important thing is that he can actually think of going with him, and he can also use the former Yang Emperor as an example.
This really made Li Shimin look at him with admiration.
Li Shimin hid his smile and said: "In that case, I promise you that if you can really improve a ship that can travel five hundred times a day, then I will agree to your proposal and carry out the south-to-north grain diversion..."
"Thanks……"
etc……
Li Chengqian was about to say thank you to his father.
But I immediately realized something was wrong.
Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at Li Shimin: "Father, are you talking about the south-to-north grain diversion?"
"yes."
Li Shimin tilted his head and looked at Li Chengqian and said, "You have given so much business to your uncle, can't I, as a father, steal one from you?"
Damn...
Have you been robbed again?
Li Chengqian raised his head bitterly and said, "But father, ship modification and shipbuilding also require money. Can you advance me some activity funds?"
"ah?"
"What did you say? Say it again?"
"By the way, the moon is really round today."
Li Shimin suddenly looked up at the sky.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Isn’t it just that I don’t want to give myself money?
You don't want to come up with a nonsense excuse to praise the moon in broad daylight, do you?
Li Shimin also felt a little embarrassed, cleared his throat and said: "I still have government affairs to deal with in the palace, so I will leave first."
"As for the money needed to improve the ship, you can figure it out yourself..."
"My son, I send you my father the best..."
Li Chengqian almost broke his teeth.
Building a ship requires a lot of money.
Even if Li Chengqian gave up all his wealth, I'm afraid it would only be enough to build one ship.
But thinking that the boat would probably be snatched away by Li Shimin in the future, Li Chengqian felt heartbroken.
This stingy old guy.
I also want to build a boat out of my own pocket.
Others are cheating their fathers, but this old guy is cheating his son here?
