"Even if it cannot be used on a large scale, this hot air balloon will definitely become a powerful weapon to defeat the enemy——"
Although it was not as good as he had expected, Li Shimin quickly adjusted his mentality.
After all, even if it is used as an auxiliary means, this hot air balloon will definitely become a surprise weapon, or even a killer weapon.
From now on, the fortified city cannot be defended, and the ambush cannot be sustained.
From a high position, the enemy will be visible at a glance.
Even if the two armies are facing each other, with the support of air power, he will have the advantage.
As soon as Li Shimin said this, everyone couldn't help but nodded, and then looked at Wang Zi'an.
"Zian, how long can your hot air balloon fly in the sky?"
Li Jing looked at Wang Zi'an with burning eyes. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he was more aware of the role of the hot air balloon in the army.
"This depends on the amount of fuel. Although I am using special coking coal, the performance is better than ordinary coal, but the endurance is not very good. Did you see that I have to carry such a big pile on it to continue flying? More than half an hour - it's a pity that we can't find oil and natural gas, otherwise, I guess I can fly all morning without any problem..."
Thinking of this question, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but shook his head with regret.
Without gas tanks and oil, it is almost impossible to achieve the endurance of the previous life.
Without oil, coal would not work after all.
He was sorry, but others didn't think so. They all looked at the hot air balloon on the ground in shock, and gasped.
This thing can carry people flying in the air for more than half an hour!
If we find what he calls oil and natural gas, we can fly all morning!
This is simply unimaginable!
"That's enough, that's enough-"
Several people couldn't help but nodded excitedly, as if they saw the spectacular scene of a large number of hot air balloons flying above their own army.
Wang Zi'an knew what these people were thinking and glanced at them speechlessly.
"Don't think too much. This thing is easily affected by the weather, and it is a consumable item. The cost is not low, especially the fabric used to make the hot air balloon. It has been specially processed and is hard-earned. Didn't you see it? It took several days to sort out two——"
Having said this, Wang Zi'an clapped his hands.
"So, it's okay to get one for fun, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to deploy it on a large scale - ok, ok, there's nothing good to see, let's go, let's go -"
Wang Zi'an stood up very simply and waved to Xue Rengui to put the hot air balloon away.
Because, he found that if he didn't put it away, this thing might be taken away later. It's okay for others to say that he has little confidence in the integrity of his two father-in-laws.
He watched helplessly as Xue Rengui took away the hot air balloon.
Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but look away regretfully, and cursed secretly in their hearts for being stingy.
This bitch is getting stingy.
Shouldn't such a good thing be donated first so that my father-in-law can experience it first?
In accordance with everyone's wishes, the lunch banquet was held in the back garden.
Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, Li Jing and Hong Funu, plus Li Xiaogong, Du Ruhui, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Zhang Ruosu, Lu Deming, Yan Shigu, Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, etc. The boss's banquet was set up in a glass greenhouse.
As for the rest, including Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian, Li Junxian and other young people, they were all arranged outside. There was no way, who made them the accountants of His Majesty's house?
In fact, according to their official status, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were not qualified to sit inside. However, since they were the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the host, it was unreasonable.
Although the back garden of Chang'an Marquis Mansion is picturesque, with lights and colorful lights everywhere, and floor heating, I don't feel cold sitting there.
But sitting with a group of young people still made Changsun Wuji feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he was not the only one who felt uncomfortable. Young people like Cheng Chumo, Li Siwen and Fang Yiai were also uncomfortable. They consciously avoided his table with Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian and Li Junxian. .
Otherwise, he might be even more upset if they were really squeezed into the same table.
"Oh - you think, when will this end?"
Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip gently.
Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian and others couldn't help laughing or crying when they heard this.
At first, I thought it was just a small episode in the human world, but I didn't expect that I would be played by the human world. If you follow Your Majesty and fall into this pit, you will not be able to climb out.
That's not right. His Majesty has a daughter who successfully landed ashore, while people like me are still in the pit...
Thinking about it, it’s really heartbreaking.
…
Glass greenhouse.
The atmosphere is much better.
After this period of growth, courgettes and beans have climbed all over the shelves, green cold melons have become fist-sized, and leeks, spinach, lettuce, eggplant, shepherd's purse, and okra are all lush.
What attracted everyone's attention even more was the patch of "red fruits", which were already quietly covered with branches.
In particular, a particularly tall plant has a red fruit on top, which is particularly attractive to look at.
"Is this the legendary Zhu Guo?"
Li Yuan looked at the tomato that was almost red and couldn't open his eyes.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help laughing when he looked at his drooling look. He walked over, reached out and took it off, walked to the sink next to him, gently unscrewed the water pipe, and the clear cold water flowed down.
In order to easily water the fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse, he specially had a water tower built. Now, it is convenient to wash things.
"Brother, you are so lucky. When I came over to check it out two days ago, it was not yet ripe - come on, try it and see how it tastes -"
Although he hasn't been able to eat tomatoes for a long time, he is not ready to compete with an old man.
Li Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. Under the envious eyes of Li Shimin and all the big guys, he took it over with joy and took a bite happily. Then, the expression on his face instantly became a little astonished.
Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, he quickly chewed two mouthfuls and swallowed, and then looked at Wang Zi'an in confusion.
"Didn't you mean that the red fruit melts in your mouth and leaves a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth? Why does it look a bit weird when I eat it..."
The prince was happy when he settled down.
Where is this fruit that melts in your mouth?
Bring me a basket!
"No, I mean, brother, who did you listen to -"
"Yun Xuzi! Taoist Master Yun Xuzi once told me that this immortal red fruit can not only revive the dead and turn flesh and bones into white bones, but also melt in the mouth and leave a fragrance on the lips and teeth. It is a rare Taoist holy product and can prolong life. The effect of strengthening the body..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Yun Xuzi is simply poisonous.
This is all what I communicated with Li Yuan!
I've told you so many times not to associate with that great bastard Yun Xuzi, but you don't listen. Is it over now?
"How many times have I said this, this is a tomato, not a red fruit in Taoist legend. You must not believe it, but now you believe it -"
Although no one wanted to believe it, the fact was right in front of them, and the Emperor's expression spoke volumes. Everyone couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment in their eyes, especially Li Gang, Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Yan Shigu and other elderly men. It would be a lie to say that they were not disappointed.
At this age, who doesn’t want to live longer and stay fit?
Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the greenhouse, Wang Zi'an sighed helplessly.
Yun Xuzi, this great stickman, I'd better beat him to death.
"But don't despair, everyone. Although these tomatoes can't prolong life or strengthen the body, they taste pretty good. They are a good choice whether they are stir-fried or eaten directly. When they are ripe, I will give you some to try -"
Wang Zi'an said, laughing.
"If you really want to keep fit and prolong your life, that's not impossible. I also have some special black donkey skin donkey hide gelatin here. I'll give some to you later. Go back and try the effect -"
As soon as Wang Zi'an mentioned this, several old men became interested on the spot.
Ordinary people may not know it now, but among the top elite circles in Chang'an, who doesn't know that the products produced by Wang Zi'an must be high-quality products. As a miracle doctor in Chang'an City who is reluctant to take action easily, if he talks about prolonging life and strengthening body, then he can definitely prolong life and strengthen body.
"Zian, don't be alone. We old guys don't take your money for nothing. Just tell us the number and we will buy it directly from you -"
Li Yuan patted Wang Zi'an on the shoulder very proudly.
Seeing the Supreme Emperor speaking, several other old men also nodded.
It is definitely not a long-term solution to expect such good things from others, but buying them is more reliable.
Wang Zi’an:……
"No, gentlemen, that's not what I meant..."
He was about to explain a few words, but before he could finish his words, he was intercepted by Li Gang.
"We know you don't mean it this way, but that's what we mean. Zian, we have to take your black donkey-hide gelatin, but you also have to accept the money -"
"Yes, that's the truth. I and others have lived to such a long time, so they can't just take advantage of a junior like you! Just tell us how much it is, no need to be polite to us-"
Mr. Ouyang Xunyi, the upright man, is strict in his words.
Just kidding, how much money are we short of buying medicine?
"Brother Xinben believes that what he said makes sense——"
Yan Shigu twisted his beard and smiled.
Seeing that it was difficult to refuse such hospitality, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but rub his hands shyly.
"Then - just give me some, a pound of a thousand guan?"
They are all big guys. It would be very shameful to lose the big guys.
As a considerate junior, Wang Zi'an felt that he had to give these old men this face, and he had to give it in full.
Is one thousand guan too little?
Forget it, just a thousand guan.
Li Yuan, Li Gang, Ouyang Xun, Yan Shigu and others were instantly dumbfounded.
One thousand coins and one gold, Wang Zi'an, won't your conscience hurt?
Is your gelatin made of gold?
No, more expensive than gold!
These old men really want to yell, I don’t want to buy it, you can give it away!
Then spit at him hard.
But after all the big words have been said, we can’t lose our grace in front of so many young people——
"Okay, then give me two first - cough, give me a pound to taste -"
Knock out your teeth and swallow them in your stomach!
Li Yuan forced a stiff smile on his face, while silently comforting himself in his heart.
It's okay, we are all a family, and the wealth does not go to outsiders.
However, I still couldn't help but feel heartache.
A thousand strings!
Some time ago, I was cheated out of thousands of dollars by this piece of shit. Now, my Tai Chi Palace is really about to be emptied out. Thinking of this, he glanced at Li Shimin without leaving any trace.
Well, I have to let this bitch give me some more.
Li Shimin, who was gloating and watching the excitement, suddenly felt a chill running down his spine and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
He looked around and found nothing unusual, then looked back in confusion.
Seeing that the Supreme Emperor is doing well, what can others say.
Li Gang, Ouyang Xun and Yan Shigu also gritted their teeth and waved their hands lightly.
"I am also——"
"I am also——"
"I am also——"
…
Others who were about to follow the trend and buy some donkey-hide gelatin to strengthen their body and prolong their life could not help but secretly give up this terrible idea.
Can't afford it, can't afford it.
I originally thought I had some money, but when I came to Wang Zi'an, I realized that I had not yet escaped poverty.
After working hard for a whole year, there is not enough for one pound of donkey-hide gelatin. Who can withstand this stuff?
Prince An was well aware of this.
Just pretend you didn't see it.
There is no way, large-scale breeding is not popular in this era, and it is not easy to purchase various raw materials, including black donkey skins. If the price is low, you will not be able to sell it yourself.
It's very good now, the price is high, whether you like it or not, I don't expect it to make money anyway. In fact, if I hadn't treated my mother-in-law, Du Ruhui, Qin Shubao and others some time ago, I wouldn't have bothered to do this.
No other meaning, not short of money, too troublesome.
"Zian, let me see here, today there are big red banners on the doorframes everywhere. Is there something special about it?"
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Li Shimin quietly changed the topic.
Li Shimin's words immediately aroused everyone's interest.
Wang Zi'an posted the Spring Festival couplets everywhere, and it was difficult for no one to notice them.
When they first came in, they discovered this rather novel phenomenon, because Wang Zi'an's house was not only decorated with lanterns and colorful peach charms, but also had red words posted everywhere, which said something extremely festive. Tasteful words.
"As time goes by, people live longer, and spring fills the universe with blessings."
"Farewell to the old year with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu"
"Spring returns, the earth is beautiful with thousands of peaks, and the sun is warming and thousands of trees are blooming in China"
"The spring scenery in front of the steps is so thick, and the outdoor scenery is green and flowing."
"..."
There are also those stuck vertically on the pillars:
“The garden is full of spring scenery”
"Look up and be happy"
Posted on the water tower:
"Green Dragon Good Luck"
There are all kinds of them, almost all the places where they can be posted are posted.
In fact, many people had wanted to ask for a long time, but they did not dare to ask rashly for fear of being too particular. At this time, when Li Shimin asked, everyone suddenly became interested.
When they asked about this, Prince An was happy.
He said in his heart, you have not gone to my backyard, otherwise you would be even more confused.
I still have a door god posted on my backyard door.
