After grabbing a piece of cake from Changsun, Li Mingda took Qingfeng and Qiu Shui to the imperial study room.
He didn't even wash his face, which looked like a tabby cat crying in front of his eldest grandson just now.
Pretending to be miserable is a must
hey-hey
On the way to the imperial study room, Li Mingda also discussed with Qingfeng that if Lao Li asked about the source of the technology next time, the so-called hermit master behind Qingfeng and the others would take the blame.
This would give Lao Li some scruples and divert the attention of those greedy people. After all, it was only Changsun Wuji and his family who wanted this thing.
You have to know how many armors and swords the Tang Dynasty made every year. This is a huge amount of money. The Changsun family has relied on the emperor's favor and technology to eat meat for so long. Others would be tired of chewing bones, right? .
Even if the eldest son's family secretly distributes some money to some big families, it is not as real as taking the lion's share. The greed and power of noble families in this era are still beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
That's why Huang Chao and his rebel army were able to kill from west to east, from south to north, and kill the nobles from aristocratic families, and the blood flowed like rivers.
What is willing?
greedy!
Major events suppressed the people, gathered the land, and forced the people at the bottom to leave their fields and farm, which ultimately led to this incident. This was also the root cause of the final decline of the Li Dynasty.
The land annexation is too serious, and the greed for money is too serious. This time it is just a technology of forging steel weapons. If it is other things, those big families will be even crazier. Even if they are princesses, they cannot stop their greed.
Enter the imperial study room
Li Shimin was having dinner, and there were naturally piles of official documents around him.
So miserable
After she becomes the empress, she will definitely bring in some coolies. Wouldn't it be nice to listen to music and watch the young ladies dance, have some fine wine, and occasionally go out for sightseeing tours.
I made up my mind to do it like this. It seems that Wuhan University Lolita can no longer let her dance. She needs to find someone to teach her how to handle government affairs. The more she learns, the more time she can make an appointment for herself.
Of course, she had to prepare a chain to control her well, otherwise Li Mingda felt that he would personally send her to see the soul of her ancestors when the temptation of power came.
Holding the pastry in her mouth, she ran to Lao Li's side cutely and let out a milky cry.
"Father, little Sizi is here"
Lao Li dropped the bowl and chopsticks and picked up his cub: "Be good, come and let Father hug you."
Hug, nuzzle
(*￣?￣)((?︶?*)
Refresh Lao Li’s friendliness
"Father, are you looking for little Sizi? It's delicious."
Li Mingda swallowed her saliva. To be honest, this was not a business. She was really hungry. You have to know that everyone has to eat snacks when they go to kindergarten. Now is a good time to grow. Li Mingda stretched out his paw and decisively Lao Li grabbed the meat pie.
He devoured it for a while, then grabbed Lao Li's wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Lao Li was stunned. He just ate a pancake and drank wine. Fortunately, it was wine. What if he got drunk with white wine?
"Well, it tastes delicious. Father, do you still have it?"
?
Lao Li waved his hand: "Duanhong, have another pot."
The wine is not the dry red wine now. It is sweet and tastes good. Li Mingda's current physical fitness is stronger than that of a calf, so it is not a problem. After a while, half a bottle is gone.
In order to prevent Li Mingda from getting drunk, Li Shimin did not let her continue drinking.
The father and daughter finished eating and drinking vigorously for a while, then rubbed each other's bellies.
so comfortable
After Lao Li had eaten, he didn't say anything in the imperial study. Instead, he took Li Mingda to Taiye Pond for a walk.
At the pavilion next to the Taiye Pool, the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards had prepared incense burners, seats, curtains, fruits, and all other practical things. The two of them walked to the pavilion and sat down.
"Little Sizi"
"Ouch?"
"Did you come up with the armor for my father and Xue Rengui and the others?"
Sure enough, he asked this at the beginning. Li Mingda shook his head decisively: "No."
"Then why did you say you came up with it last time?"
Last time, we were careless last time. I would like to take credit from you by the way.
Of course we can't say this.
"Is this the little Sizi who wants his father to be happy? In fact, it belongs to Qingfeng."
cool breeze
Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Qingfeng, who was wearing a fancy outfit, a bamboo hat and a veil on his face, and asked Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, is what Xiao Sizi said true?"
Qingfeng turned around and held up his hands: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is what my master taught me."
"Master?"
"right"
"Your master is indeed a wonderful person. Is there anything else your master has?"
"This Qingfeng is mainly about learning. Miscellaneous studies are not his expertise. This is why Qingfeng wanted to learn a good knife."
"You only learned a little? So do you still have more to learn?"
"Yes, but I don't care about these. Master also said that some are just ideas and may not be realized, and it is mainly individual interested brothers who are learning these."
"Then if you can write a letter asking them to serve in the court, I will definitely replace them with national officials."
Qingfeng pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head: "Master travels all over the world, and we don't know where the old man is."
"Oh, what a pity"
"But your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Master asked us to be loyal to the princess. Some of our fellow apprentices will definitely be born and experienced when the opportunity comes. When the time comes, we can recommend them to Your Majesty."
In fact, what Lao Li was most worried about was that some talents were lured away by aristocratic families. Since Qingfeng said so, he did not continue to ask further questions.
It's not that Li Shimin is not curious, it's just that his Baiqisi has not found anyone yet. It can be said that there is no clue at all. He only knows that some villages and towns were massacred in the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and some capable people and strangers saved some. People wandered around the world, and these things happened in all dynasties of the Li Dynasty.
There have been many years of internal unification in the Tang Dynasty, but the country is so big in this era, some systems are imperfect, and information is lacking. It is too difficult to find one person, even hundreds of people.
In time, if you find it with your front foot, the other person's back foot may not know where to go. If they deliberately avoid you, they will definitely not be able to find it.
Just like a super large mountain range like the Taihang Mountains, if you plunge into it, hundreds of people will just follow a drop of water in the ocean. This is why even when the world was at peace later, there were often bandits and bandits inside.
Modern countries such as Europe and the United States are quite developed, right? There are still cults and so on hiding in the mountainous areas, you can't find them, and there are also some drug dealers and so on.
After some questioning by Lao Li, Qingfeng was finally fooled, and the next step was negotiation.
"Xiao Sizi, can you use these technologies? I see you sending no less than a hundred pairs of armors to the front line."
"Well, except for my father, Xue Rengui, and Senior Brother Cheng Chusi, the rest are just a layer of skin with steel plates inside."
