The work efficiency of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Workshop is still very high.
Especially after Li Shimin arranged the task, all the craftsmen were watched by Li Shimin's forbidden army.
It was euphemistically called building a facility, and it was temporarily kept secret for a few days. After everyone was given a considerable amount of money and food, they temporarily lost their right to freedom.
But they were also happy there. When had they ever seen such a generous Emperor?
They were rewarded with a year's salary at once, and while they were feeling proud there, Xu Yunyan and the eunuch who delivered the order had already arrived at the Ministry of Industry workshop.
Seeing that the appearance in front of him was exactly the same as that of the carriage, and there was nothing different about it, Xu Yunyan stepped forward and knocked on the carriage with his hand.
The cold touch and crisp sound made Xu Yunyan believe that it was made of iron.
"I didn't expect the Ministry of Industry to be so efficient. It can now build such a carriage out of iron. How long did it take?"
When Xu Yunyan said this, a person in charge of the Ministry of Industry said.
"This gentleman is joking, what does our Ministry of Industry do? As long as it is an order arranged by His Majesty, we have to figure out how to build it even if we are racking our brains!"
While these people were talking like this, Xu Yunyan looked around and saw the molds and other square things that had been hammered out with iron. , Xu Yunyan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said to them.
"My lord, you are right. I wonder if I have a stupid way. Do you think it will work?"
At random, Xu Yunyan would make a mold with sand and wax, then demould and a series of other things to the official in front of him. The official in front of him was stunned and murmured.
"It's a simpler way to make a mold with wax, then fix it at high temperature and melt it. Why didn't we think of it? The iron molds that took hundreds of craftsmen to build are all disposable and cannot be used properly. Okay, this is going to make a big fuss, this gentleman is really thinking about it!"
While the official from the Ministry of Works was complimenting Xu Yunyan, the eunuch next to him, Li Shimin, hurriedly waved his sleeves.
"You should remember carefully, this is General Hou Guangjun, the champion of the dynasty, and the Grand Protector of the Anbei Protectorate."
After the eunuch finished speaking, the official from the Ministry of Industry hurriedly clasped his fists.
"Xiaguan has met the champion lord and the champion general. I didn't expect him to be able to meet the champion general at such a close distance. It is really my honor to be able to meet the champion general!"
The official from the Ministry of Works had just complimented Xu Yunyan here without saying a few words to Xu Yunyan. Seeing that the other craftsmen, under the arrangement of this official, came forward to compliment him, they hurriedly took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Let me see how this carriage looks like first. I believe the product produced by the Ministry of Industry must be of high quality."
Xu Yunyan said this, and while the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works were having fun, Xu Yunyan entered the carriage.
The carriage looks just like an ordinary carriage on the outside, but there is indeed something special inside. Originally, the vehicle was made of iron, and there were also shields inside to block attacks.
Although the space is small, it is absolutely safe.
Seeing this situation, Xu Yunyan smiled and nodded.
"Not bad."
After Xu Yunyan jumped off the horse, the official from the Ministry of Works hurriedly came forward, "General, I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
Xu Yunyan looked at him a little curious.
"Can you give me some advice? What's wrong? Is there anything you need me to give you? I've seen you do quite well."
As soon as Xu Yunyan praised him, the official from the Ministry of Industry hurriedly said happily.
"It's all thanks to His Majesty's sage that we can serve His Majesty wholeheartedly. We don't deserve such praise from the champion." When the officials from the Ministry of Industry were being so polite, Xu Yunyan said here, "Yes, Your Majesty is quite sage." , it is an honor for me and my ministers."
But as soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he quickly changed his words and started talking again.
"I have a preliminary idea for the chariot you are talking about."
He was randomly pushed inside using manpower to push a cart. The cart was equipped with equipment used to kill enemies, and there was even a hole in it with a crossbowman inside.
When Xu Yunyan said this, the eyes of these craftsmen instantly lit up.
"A champion is a champion. He not only ranks first among the three armies in terms of military prowess, but also has endless creative ideas. I admire him."
While they were admiring them, the eunuch couldn't stand it anymore and said something directly.
"Everyone, since the champion of this carriage says it's okay, let's take the carriage away first, so you can take care of yourself."
After leaving such a sentence, Xu Yunyan was a little confused as a monk, and the eunuch hurriedly led Xu Yunyan out.
"We still have to go to the Prince's East Palace to make all preparations. But we can't lead this carriage out from the Ministry of Industry tomorrow morning. That will let people know about this situation."
Xu Yunyan was a little embarrassed, scratching his head here.
"My father-in-law is right. We actually forgot these things and almost got into trouble for His Majesty. If my father-in-law hadn't reminded us, we would have made a big joke."
In this way, the carriage that was originally going to the Ministry of Industry with Xu Yunyan changed its trajectory again and headed towards the East Palace. When soldiers came to report to Li Chengqian, Xu Yunyan and Li Shimin's father-in-law who was serving next to him came to visit. , Li Chengqian was stunned.
It looks like it's almost dawn at this time, why are they here so early?
Li Chengqian appeared in front of Xu Yunyan and the eunuch with a smile and hugged his eldest princess with two dark circles under her eyes, but they were startled.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
The two of them asked at the same time. If Xu Yunyan didn't have a different face than the eunuch, he might be regarded as the same kind of person. After asking, Li Chengqian looked at Xu Yunyan and said here.
"Isn't this a little baby? The wet nurse couldn't coax her just after she was born, and she kept crying? Although Hou Xiaomei had just given birth and was ready to watch her, I couldn't bear it, so I hugged her over. I didn't expect that I would hold her He was so happy that he stopped crying and fussing, and he hugged her all night long."
When Xu Yunyan heard what Li Chengqian said, he looked at Li Chengqian strangely, and Li Chengqian smiled at Xu Yunyan's strange look.
"Master, what are you going to say? Have you thought of something evil again?"
"Forehead?"
Xu Yunyan felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
"How could I be the master who only wants evil things in your mind? How could it be like this? Since His Highness the Crown Prince is so tired, why not ask the Queen or the Supreme Emperor to help you look after the child? They are also blood relatives with His Highness. There should be no problem holding the eldest princess, right?"
Just after Xu Yunyan said this, Li Chengqian became anxious.
"What Master said makes sense, but my mother is already pregnant, which is inconvenient."
Xu Yunyan was a little surprised at this time. At this time, Changsun Wugou was pregnant. Who was pregnant? It should be Li Zhi who inherited the throne after Li Shimin ascended to heaven in history, right?
Xu Yunyan scratched his head, not expecting it to be this time period.
Li Chengqian looked at Xu Yunyan scratching his head, thinking that he was thinking of something for himself, and then looked at Xu Yunyan talking there.
"I also want people to go find my grandpa. Maybe my grandpa will be more able to coax the eldest princess. Also, my grandpa gave them the Golden Mountain Galaxy. I am also very curious about what this is. It happens to be I will go visit the eldest princess tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? That's right. We have a new mission today and we have to go out and have fun with the people, so it's appropriate to arrive tomorrow. Or we can have fun with the people and wait after we come back."
As soon as Xu Yunyan said his suggestion, Li Chengqian slapped his head.
"Look at me, I coax this child every day and actually forget about having fun with the people. It shouldn't be! It really shouldn't be! If Master hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have forgotten anything. ."
Li Chengqian said this, and was about to hand over the eldest princess to the nanny next to him, and then followed Xu Yunye to discuss the matter of having fun with the people. In Li Chengqian's mind, coming to visit at this time must be a matter of having fun with the people. It was just that the wet nurse had just handed over the baby, and the baby was crying loudly.
This time it was a bit confusing.
"What should we do about this? She is so attached to His Highness the Crown Prince, should we go visit the Supreme Emperor now? But it seems a bit too early, right?"
Xu Yunyan looked at the night outside the main hall. There was no fish belly white in the east, and it was still dark. For those of them who were old, they had less time to sleep. , but it’s not necessarily what it would be like to boldly visit the Supreme Emperor.
But just when Xu Yunyan was scratching his head here, he suddenly thought of something: "Your Highness gave birth to the prince, and the princess has not congratulated you yet. Now she just brought two items to present to His Highness the Crown Prince. Let His Highness take a look first."
Xu Yunyan had no choice but to start stalling for time, and Li Chengqian was a little unhappy when he heard that Xu Yunyan was going to give him something.
"Master, how did this happen?"
Li Chengqian looked at Xu Yunyan a little embarrassed, but his eyes were full of hope, hoping that Xu Yunyan could give him something amazing and weird.
As a result, Xu Yunyan was no longer disappointed with Li Chengqian. She nodded to Li Chengqian and walked out of the hall and ordered him to move the things on the guard's carriage to Li Chengqian.
This is also due to Xu Yunyan's special status in Li Chengqian's heart, who was given privileges by Li Chengqian. His soldiers could follow Xu Yunyan in and out of the East Palace without affecting Li Chengqian's safety.
When the soldier came to Li Chengqian carrying two boxes, Li Chengqian looked at the two boxes curiously.
"Master, won't you follow their example and bring me some yellow and white things?"
When Li Chengqian said this, Xu Yunyan shook his head.
"Why would I follow them? They have money, but I don't have that much money."
As soon as Xu Yunyan said that he had no money, Li Chengqian immediately turned into a flounder and stared at Xu Yunyan, "How could you have no money?" You collect a lot of loot every time you fight, I know this.
Looking at Li Chengqian's appearance, Xu Yunyan scratched his head in embarrassment.
"This...this accident is purely accidental."
After Xu Yunyan said this, he no longer held back and directly opened the wooden box. In an instant, two sets of armors belonging to high-level enemy officials captured by Xu Yunyan appeared in front of Li Chengqian, along with matching weapons inlaid with various gems.
Li Chengqian was stunned when he saw these two sets of armor, but the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, who was crying in the distance, suddenly giggled and twisted her body in the direction of Xu Yunyan's box.
"Eldest Princess likes it?"
Li Chengqian looked at the apple of his eye in confusion, not expecting that she actually liked these, while Xu Yunyan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's okay, it's okay. Her Royal Highness the Princess likes it. She is really a woman who doesn't like red clothes and loves armed weapons. We congratulate Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Tang Dynasty!"
