Li Shimin began to think about this ship.
It would be so interesting to have a ship of your own.
But at the moment he doesn't know how to speak.
And Xue Rengui hasn't come up yet.
If you talk about Li Lizhi and Li Min, then maybe it's okay.
Therefore, he said: "Li Zhi, come here, I have something to ask you!"
"Yes, Father!"
Li Lizhi was chatting with Empress Changsun, but when she heard Li Shimin calling her, she came over.
Queen Changsun and others were also puzzled.
What did Li Shimin want to do, and why did he call Li Lizhi over alone?
Do you have a little secret to tell me?
Li Li asked: "What's the matter with my father?"
Li Shimin did not reply, but walked to the side. His intention was very obvious, that is, not to let anyone listen to what he said.
When Li Lizhi saw this, she followed him.
"Tell me, what kind of drive does this ship use? You said it's diesel? Is it driven by diesel oil?"
When Li Lizhi heard this, she realized that Li Shimin was talking about this.
So she told everything she knew.
"No, father, because the sixth brother got this diesel oil! But it is not oil obtained from firewood! It is obtained from another place."
In the early days, diesel was not used as machine fuel, but as lamp oil. Because this oil produces black smoke during combustion, the burning state is the same as burning wood, so it is called diesel.
Of course, Li Lizhi didn't know these things, so she could only say this.
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt like he couldn't get anything out of Li Lizhi's words.
But another question was asked.
"Then where does this oil come from? Do you know?"
"Father, I heard that it is extracted from something called petroleum!"
Li Shimin had heard of oil.
There's a lot you can build with that thing.
Because Shengtang Group produced something, and as far as his intelligence knew, it was refined from petroleum.
Moreover, he also knew that oil was extracted from the ground.
Unexpectedly, this oil can also be used to produce diesel fuel for ships.
This world is really wonderful.
It seems that there are still many things he doesn't know.
"Is that so? That's right!"
Li Shimin suddenly seemed to think of something.
"Father, please speak!"
"Can they build another ship to Chang'an, so that the people can see what this so-called fuel ship is like, and let them gain insights."
Li Lizhi finally understood what Li Shimin wanted.
He just wanted to get a similar ship in Chang'an City.
"Father, Rengui also said just now that because Chang'an can't accommodate such a big ship, the sixth brother thought of putting it in Qingzhou. And there are not only Qingzhou, but there are many such ships in Taizhou. Now every month there are Several boats were produced.”
No matter how big the two rivers, Bahe and Weihe, are, they are not bigger than the sea.
For such a big boat, the water that needs to be fed is extremely deep.
Although the Bahe and Weihe rivers can be considered big rivers, they are not that big yet.
This is obviously unrealistic.
Li Shimin immediately said:
"I mean we don't need such a big boat. It can be smaller than this! As long as it can travel in the Bahe and Weihe rivers, the size doesn't matter. Moreover, if there is this boat, all envoys from outside can see it. If you get it, it will strengthen our country’s prestige!”
Li Shimin really knows how to speak, and he can turn his personal interests into such an irresistible reason.
Speaking of national prestige.
Then this matter can be said to be very serious, and it must be taken seriously.
Li Lizhi thought for a while and then said:
"I have to talk to my sixth brother about this. Maybe my sixth brother will agree!"
She understood that if Li Min said it, he would most likely agree.
Li Shimin was overjoyed.
Then in the future, he will take a boat ride on the Bahe and Weihe rivers. How wonderful that would be.
At that time, there is no need to come to Qingzhou to experience it.
You can even put on a good show in front of foreigners.
Let the world know how powerful he, Li Shimin, is.
Although all the credit for this belongs to Li Min.
But wasn’t that what happened in the Tang Dynasty under his rule?
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Li Shimin was extremely happy.
With Li Lizhi's persuasion, it will be completed quickly.
Why do you say this? Because Li Min usually listens to Li Lizhi, and Li Lizhi also encourages Xue Rengui. Therefore, the matter of a ship in Chang'an should be realized soon.
When he thought of this, he smiled happily.
"Father, this is what I should do for the Tang Dynasty."
Li Lizhi expressed this.
"Yes, my son really deserves to be rewarded for his consideration of the people."
"Father, don't be like this! This is really nothing. After I get back, I will have a good talk with Rengui, and then I will sort out the documents and give them to my sixth brother for his approval."
"Documents? Approval? Does he think he is the emperor?" Li Shimin was a little unhappy.
How could this Li Min be like this? Why should he be approved? Can't you just agree directly?
"Father, I don't know. In the words of my sixth brother, this is called a feasibility report. This is the Shengtang Group's method of doing things. After everything is done, there will be feasibility and feasibility. If the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, then this matter will The landing will be quick. If it’s the other way around, it basically won’t work!”
"Is he acting dictatorial?"
This is Li Shimin's most direct view.
"No, no, no, my father misunderstood. Because the ship costs too much, and the Shengtang Group spends a huge amount of money every day. If everything is done, then a hundred Shengtang Group will not be enough. Spending money. That’s why Sixth Brother came up with this idea. After our report is submitted, there will be a dedicated person to review it. As long as more than half of the people agree, then we will go to Sixth Brother’s place for final approval. Furthermore, we will get the money. Come out and make plans!”
When Li Shimin heard this, he realized that this was the case.
If you do this, it will not grow wildly.
This is good for the future of Shengtang Group.
Li Shimin showed extremely strong interest.
If this matter can be used in the imperial court, it must be good.
Write an application before doing anything.
Then let the people below go through it first, and then review it yourself. This way, you will have fewer things to do.
So, he said:
"Can you tell me what the process is like?"
"Yes, Father."
Li Lizhi told Li Shimin everything she knew.
He could be heard nodding continuously, and his performance was noticed by Queen Changsun, Concubine Yang and others.
None of them knew what Li Lizhi was talking about.
It wasn't until the ship started to sail towards the land of Laiyi that everyone focused on other places.
But Li Lizhi is still talking about everything she knows.
Until Xue Rengui came up.
