Qin Ming dusted himself off, shook his long-sleeved robe, and said to Li Shimin:
"Your Majesty, do you think this carriage is worth 800 coins?"
Li Shimin came back to his senses, walked to Qin Ming excitedly, took his hands, and said with a smile on his face:
"My dear nephew, you're out of town again, why would my uncle question you? My uncle just made a joke with you, why did you take it seriously!"
Qin Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled when he heard this:
"What about the medical books?"
Li Shimin exclaimed, glanced sideways at Qin Ming and said:
"Looking at what you said, I know that you want to build a hospital in Pingkangfang! The medical books in the palace have been prepared for you a long time ago. Originally, I thought that when your hospital opened, I would give it to you as a congratulatory gift! "
Qin Ming smiled and nodded when he heard this.
[As long as you are willing to give me those medical books, you can say whatever you want! 】
Thinking of this, Qin Ming was in a good mood!
He took out his hands and bowed to Li Shimin:
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Li Shimin smiled and patted Qin Ming's shoulder, pointed at the dark carriage not far away and said:
"My dear nephew, tell me, this carriage is obviously made of wood. Why does the sound of gold and stone appear when an arrow hits the carriage?"
Hearing this, others also looked at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming nodded and explained with a smile:
"Your Majesty, although this carriage appears to be made of wood, in fact the outer layer of wood is only one finger thick."
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
After saying that, Qin Ming walked to the carriage full of arrow holes and jumped onto the carriage.
He took out the horse stool and placed it on the carriage frame, then stepped on it.
When Li Shimin and others saw this scene, they couldn't help but look puzzled, not knowing what Qin Ming was going to do.
Qin Ming straightened up while holding on to the car wall. After groping under the roof for a while, his eyes lit up.
Then he turned around and grinned at the people on the ground:
"Don't blink, everyone, it's time to witness a miracle!"
After saying that, Qin Ming exerted force on his hand, and the wooden board on one side of the carriage was lifted off by Qin Ming.
The entire board was more than a foot long and half a foot wide. After being slapped on the cement floor, it immediately stirred up a large amount of dust.
Li Shimin and others saw this and kept waving the dust with their big sleeves!
When the dust settled, everyone opened their mouths in shock after seeing clearly the half of the carriage that revealed its true face.
I saw that the originally pitch black carriage seemed to have been completely transformed. Although it was still black, the walls of the carriage had a metallic sheen!
Not only that, in the middle of the carriage, there is also a lifelike, radiant golden five-clawed dragon embossed on it!
Under the five claws of this golden dragon, there are golden auspicious clouds stepping on it, and it looks like it is about to rush out of the car wall at any time!
Because the contrast between the front and back of this carriage was so great, Li Shimin was petrified at this time!
Not only him, but Empress Changsun, Princess Changle, Fang Xuanling, and all the Jinwu Guards were also stunned!
At this moment, a harmonious voice sounded.
"Hmph! Ah Fu, let's go."
When everyone looked around, they saw Li Yuan, a man with gray hair, shaking his sleeves and getting into the carriage angrily.
Qin Ming slapped his forehead when he saw this.
Wow, you are so busy showing your holiness in front of others that you actually forgot about this living treasure at home!
Hey, even if Qin Ming thinks about it with his buttocks, he knows that his old man’s jealousy is coming back!
Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise the old man would probably lose his temper again!
Thinking like this, Qin Ming jumped off the carriage, came to Li Shimin, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, you have also seen that the four walls of this carriage are made of cast metal. Because it was too eye-catching, I ordered someone to wrap it with wood."
"Hey, I wanted to give His Majesty a surprise!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly, patted Qin Ming's shoulder hard twice, narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"Well, I really saw the right person. I am very satisfied with this carriage! After returning to the palace, I will send someone to give you one thousand guan instead of two thousand guan."
Qin Mingchao, Li Shimin and others bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I am going to see my grandfather and his old man. On the way back, I will not ride with Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin nodded and said:
"go Go."
Qin Ming nodded, saluted again, then turned to Yang Zijun and Mao Tu and said:
"Zijun, Maotu, you should also go back to the carriage."
Yang Zijun hummed and said:
"Chief, don't worry about us. You can go see the old man."
Qin Ming nodded slightly and grabbed the reins of the horse before Uncle Fu raised his whip.
"Uncle Fu, wait a moment, I want to ride with my grandfather."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu took back his riding crop.
"Sir! Alang is angry. Please be careful what you say. He is old. Don't make him angry!"
Qin Ming thanked him and jumped into the carriage.
Uncle Fu turned around, knocked on the door, and shouted inside:
"Alang, young master, I would like to see you."
Li Yuan, who was sulking in the carriage, snorted coldly when he heard this:
"I'm hungry and I don't see anyone."
Qin Ming waved to Uncle Fu, then opened the car door and walked in.
When Li Yuan saw Qin Ming coming in, he crossed his arms over his chest and turned sideways, snorting coldly:
"Why don't you strike while the iron is hot and flatter your future father-in-law? What are you doing here? Do you want to light a cold stove?"
Qin Ming smiled helplessly, saluted Madam Zhang and others, then walked quickly to Li Yuan, knelt down and said:
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? If your grandson wants to flatter you, he is also flattering you!"
Li Yuan rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"You kid, stop fooling me, I don't have a granddaughter to marry you!"
Qin Ming took Li Yuan's hand and said softly:
"Grandpa, are you angry with your grandson?"
When Li Yuan heard this, he said angrily:
"I have no power and power now, and I rely on your good grandson to support me. How dare I give birth to you!"
Qin Ming sighed after hearing this and said:
"Grandpa, you are now the helmsman of my future fleet! How can you say you are powerless!"
"The white jade pillars in your house stand on the purple gold beams of the sea. Please don't say that again in the future. My grandson will feel uncomfortable hearing it!"
Li Yuan curled his lips when he heard this, raised his head and sniffed and said:
"What's the use of that? Isn't it just a wooden carriage with no guarantee at all?"
Qin Ming heard this and said quickly:
"The iron carriage is nothing! You are the helmsman of the iron fleet! You have seen the ship drawings. Our ship is many times bigger than the carriage! If you control such a huge iron fleet, isn't it better than a carriage? How much more majestic!"
"When the time comes, those big girls and little wives in Jiangnan will definitely be rushing to be your concubines!"
Li Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he adjusted his sitting posture, stroked his long gray beard and said:
"What's so majestic? Grandpa is not the kind of person who loves vanity!"
"Grandpa just wants to help the family share some of the pressure!"
"By the way, dear grandson, do you really have a way to build an iron boat?"
Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Of course! He is your grandson! How could he lie to you!"
Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He slapped the table and said excitedly:
"When the ship is built, I must engrave a five-clawed golden dragon that is a hundred feet long..."
[Aren’t you vain, what are you? If we really engrave a golden dragon on it for you, Li Er will not think of us as rebels and destroy us! 】
