Li Mingda's study was filled with drawings, files, documents, bamboo slips, as well as some weapons, armor, and fragments of metal tools. Li Shimin didn't know what they were.
There were also some well-made appliance models, which Lao Li said he had never seen before.
In front of Li Mingda's desk, Duan Hong was sitting on a small bench waiting for Li Mingda. Li Mingda was counting things with his abacus.
Lao Li comes around
He didn't know Arabic numerals or multiplication and division.
Blinded
Li Mingda looked up and said: "Father, wait a moment, let me calculate these data."
Changsun and Li Zhi also entered the door. When they saw the situation inside, they were much more shocked than Lao Li.
The two of them had never thought about what Li Mingda meant by being busy.
This way, there are more documents than Lao Li's imperial study room.
He quickly finished calculating the data in his hand and threw it to the Jin Yiwei on the side: "Go, give it to Murong Xue."
Jin Yiwei took the order and went out. Li Mingda rubbed his eyes and stood up: "Father, Queen Mother, and Third Brother, why are you here?"
"I can't wait to recruit you to the palace, so I have to come and take a look." Li Shimin pointed to the table made of Arabic numerals in Li Mingda's hand and asked Li Mingda: "Jinyang, what is this?"
Li Mingda: "A set of numbers is more convenient than counting in Xiaozhuan"
Li Shimin said he didn't understand: "Can these numbers be promoted? Can they be kept secret?"
Li Mingda shook his head: "No, this is something used in the West. It's just convenient for other people to use. Okay, let's leave here and talk outside."
He turned around and looked at Li Zhi, who stretched out his paw to look at the parts of Li Mingda's mechanical model: "Three, don't move."
Li Zhi retracted his claws: "Oh, what are these?"
Li Mingda knocked on the sign on the box: "This is the model of the new ship."
Model?
"It's a sample of a real ship made to scale."
Li Zhi: "Why do you do this?"
Li Mingda: "First make a model and test it in the water. If there is anything wrong, it is easy to change it. If you directly make a real ship, it will take a long time, require a lot of investment, and is inconvenient."
Li Zhi looked full of admiration: "Zhi, I have learned a lesson."
The eldest grandson didn't speak for a long time. Li Mingda was curious and noticed tears in the corners of the eldest grandson's eyes, and then grabbed Li Shimin.
Lao Li looked puzzled: "What happened to the Guanyin Monument?"
The eldest grandson angrily muttered to Lao Li: "How old is Xiaosi? These things are so much more than the memorials in Erlang's imperial study room." He walked inside and hugged Li Mingda in his arms, with tears streaming down his face.
"I feel so bad that I am a mother."
In the arms of his grandson, Li Mingda narrowed his eyes happily.
Lao Li looked embarrassed. Many of the national policies of the Tang Dynasty came from Li Mingda and were run by Li Mingda. Li Shimin just put a stamp on them and supervised them.
Li Zhi is even more shameless. He is older than Li Mingda. In comparison, he is still studying the Four Books and Five Classics, and he is already on his own.
No
It should be said that he is much busier than his father.
After struggling out of Changsun's arms, he took Lao Li back to his living room. At this time, Wu Xu was already waiting there with Zheng Wanli, Xu Hui, and Liuli.
When he saw Lao Li, his eldest grandson, and Li Zhi entering the door, he saluted directly.
"Meet Your Majesty, the Queen, and Prince Jin"
Li Shimin and his eldest grandson looked at Li Mingda's family members and nodded with satisfaction.
Wu Xu and the others had met, and Zheng Wanli and Xu Hui knew that Liuli had followed Li Mingda into the palace many times.
For several people, they are quite satisfied.
She must be good-looking, well-behaved, sensible, and polite, especially since Zheng Wanli looked very similar to her eldest grandson when she was a child.
Lao Li couldn't help but take a few more glances. After all, Zheng Wanli's father had met him once.
The eldest grandson also took a few more glances at Zheng Wanli out of curiosity.
Li Zhi's main target was Wu Xu. He had met Wu Xu several times at palace banquets, but he had never spoken to Wu Xu.
I saw Li Zhi looking at me
Wu Xu, a hot-tempered little man, didn't show any shyness on his face. He glared at Li Zhi directly, and then showed a look of dislike on his face.
Wu Xu's main target now is Li Mingda. Although he still admits Murong Xue's dominant position, he has been working hard to hope that he can defeat the troublesome fox at home again and successfully take over.
No way
No matter how hard she tried, it was all to no avail, especially now that Murong Xue had trained Oscar's family to cause trouble for her, and she was now at her wits' end.
Murong Xue also took the opportunity to give Tuyuhun's loyal tribe an order to teach the Wang family a lesson, letting them know that in Li Mingda's mansion, only Murong Xue is the head wife of the family, and you, the Wang family, can only be a concubine. There is no other chance.
Lao Li sat down, pastries and tea were served again. Lao Li and his eldest grandson Li Zhi sat down. Li Mingda asked the family members to leave and go do what they were supposed to do.
Lao Li, Changsun, and Li Zhi picked up the cakes and tasted them. They tasted very good.
It's similar to the pastries in the palace, but the taste is slightly different.
The eldest grandson: "Xiao Sizi, this pastry is a little different from the ones from Kilometers."
Li Mingda nodded: "The formula has been changed a bit, making it more suitable for me and my family."
Grandson: "Give me some later."
Li Mingda: "I'll give you the recipe for the pastries later, but I'll also let the imperial doctor take a look. Some of them are not suitable for my father and Li Zhi to eat."
The eldest grandson nodded to express his understanding. Li Zhi, a fool, looked confused: "Why can't I eat it?"
Li Mingda reached out and touched Li Zhi's head: "If you eat some things, you will follow Duan Hong and the others."
Li Zhi felt a sudden contraction in his crotch, which was so terrifying.
Actually
It was Li Mingda who was basically trying to scare Li Zhi. The cakes inside were just filled with his own melted Dali Pills, which were used to strengthen the body. In order to prevent the family from accidentally forgetting to eat something, Li Mingda came up with this method.
Just add a small amount of it to your food and you will become a superman before you know it.
After chatting for a while, Li Mingda asked Lao Li: "Father, what do you want from me~!"
Li Shimin felt that he would forget it if Li Mingda didn't ask him, because he took the opportunity to enjoy the delicious pastries and tea at Li Mingda's house.
Li Shimin put down the tea cup in his hand: "It's mainly because of the government affairs that I'm worried about." Then he recounted the situation of this super meeting.
"Is there any solution?"
Li Mingda thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, yes.
Li Shimin thought for a while and asked Li Mingda: "What can I do? Tell me."
Li Mingda: "Select outstanding officials from various departments to form an administrative cabinet, responsible for the administration of people's livelihood, agricultural affairs, etc."
"However, this approach only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. In the long run, it will lead to cliques in the itinerary for personal gain or incomprehensible government orders, deceiving the superiors and deceiving the subordinates, weakening the imperial power. However, there are ways to suppress it, and it is just suppression. Father, please consider whether you want to try it."
