"Hoo ......"

After taking a sip of hot water, Li Yuanjia exhaled with satisfaction.

Although he tried all kinds of methods, but because there are only the most primitive materials, after trying various methods such as wrapping cotton and fur, the performance of the thermos pot made is still very poor, and there is a certain distance from even the worst products in the future.

This thing in my hand, after an hour, the boiling water is basically cold.

But fortunately, Li Yuanjia is not the dick who needs to boil his own water in his previous life, and he brought fifty guards with him when he went out this time, and more than a dozen small servants also followed.

Of course, these people only joined in after the group had set out for ten miles.

This kind of thing is not just Li Yuanjia doing it alone, everyone is doing the same thing, so there is nothing to worry about. And in order to ensure that he can drink hot water along the way, Han Lucheng also asked several small servants to divide into several roads, boil water every twenty miles, and replace the water in Li Yuanjia's thermos pot at any time......

This formation fully reflects the identity and status of a prince.

Anyway, after running down in the morning, until noon, when the brigade stopped to rest, Li Yuanjia was always able to drink hot boiled water, and his happiness was no different from that at home......

A morning's rush didn't really take much walk.

According to Han Lucheng's estimates, it is actually forty or fifty miles at most.

This distance is really not too short.

In fact, if there was no urgent battle, in fact, even the cavalry would not have been able to travel much in a day in ancient times. It's not that the horses can't run that far, but if they keep galloping, it will be extremely damaging to the horses.

Losing fat or something is still a trivial matter, and damaging the horse's hooves or something is serious.

Therefore, the ancient cavalry marching for one hundred and fifty miles a day is already very good, and even if it can reach the battlefield any more, its combat effectiveness will be greatly affected. Under normal circumstances, unless it is a very critical situation, the leading generals will try to avoid such situations.

Li Shimin went out hunting, so he couldn't be in a hurry.

Run forty or fifty miles in the morning, and then walk twenty or thirty miles in the afternoon after resting enough, and it's basically about the same.

As for the noon meal......

"King, at most two pillars of incense, the meal can be ready."

As soon as the carriage stopped, Han Lucheng rushed over and reported: "Two dishes, a soup, and the steamed buns that the king wants to eat can all be heated." ”

Lifting the thick curtain of the carriage, Li Yuanjia stepped down from the carriage.

"Well, that's good."

Although he was already hungry at this time, Li Yuanjia was still very satisfied with Han Lucheng's efficiency, nodded and then asked, "In addition to me, the guards and you can also eat hot food, right?" ”

Although it was on the march and there was only one hour to rest, Li Yuanjia didn't want everyone to eat cold rice.

It's already the beginning of October, and it's hard enough to run all morning, and if you have to eat some cold and stiff dry food, it's not good for everyone's health!

Although Li Yuanjia doesn't mind letting his subordinates work harder for his own enjoyment, he also hopes that these people who follow him will not suffer so much.

Eating a hot meal on a cold day is really not too high.

However, Li Yuanjia did not have high requirements in his heart, and in Han Lucheng's opinion, it was a bit hypocritical - on the way of the army, in addition to nobles like the king, how many people could eat hot meals? It's good to have better dry food than usual!

However, before leaving, Li Yuanjia had emphasized it several times, and Han Lucheng did not dare to slack off, so he quickly nodded and said: "Don't worry, the king, we have brought several small coal stoves and a few pots on the carriage to ensure that everyone can eat hot." ”

If you bury the pot and cook as before, of course, you can't catch up, after all, the rest time is only one hour, and there is no other way than to make a fire and roast dry food casually. But with the small coal stove and iron pot invented by Li Yuanjia, there is no problem at all if only a few dozen people are supplied!

The coal stove is easy and convenient to use, and the iron pot heats up much faster than ordinary clay pots!

So although he was a little disapproving, because it was not very troublesome, Han Lucheng would not feel too exaggerated in his heart. Moreover, the king's compassion for the guards and subordinates also made Han Lucheng's heart warm......

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

Just when Han Lucheng opened his mouth and wanted to make specific arrangements, he only heard a rush of running, which made his brows furrow.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, one of the guards ran close and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the king, is here!" Hurry up and greet you! ”

"Your Majesty? How did he get here? ”

Li Yuanjia was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Now is not the time to be surprised, Li Yuanjia was just stunned for a moment, and hurriedly sorted out the clothes on his body, and by the way, let Han Lucheng get into the carriage to get his hat...... Helmet!

To go to see the emperor, it is also a big sin to be disheveled!

However, as soon as Han Lucheng got out of the carriage, everyone heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when they turned their heads, they saw that more than ten horsemen were already close at hand!

Looking at the clothes on the leader's head, where does Li Yuanjia not know who is coming?

snatched the helmet in Han Lucheng's hand and buckled it on his head, Li Yuanjia didn't even have time to scold the second child in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects: "Brother Li Yuanjia, I've seen Your Majesty!" ”

Lying on the ground, my hands and feet are instantly cold!

"Oh, shit!"

At this time, Li Yuanjia finally had time to scold, lowered his head and secretly pouted in his heart: "This Li Er, why did he suddenly come over...... Uh, not good! ”

originally thought that Li Shimin would get himself up immediately as usual, but Li Yuanjia waited for a while and found that the sound of the second horse's hooves did not stop in front of him, but when he walked over and walked around the carriage, his face changed slightly, and he secretly screamed bitterly!

For such a thing as riding a carriage, in fact, it was still very common during the Zhenguan period.

Some old and frail ministers are impatient to sit on horses, and using people to carry sedan chairs does not quite meet the moral standards of the Tang Dynasty, so in most cases horse-drawn carriages are a good means of transportation.

It's just that Li Yuanjia is this age, and he still comes out for winter hunting and takes a carriage......

Sure enough, a moment later, Li Shimin's slightly dissatisfied voice came: "Eleven Lang, your carriage looks quite big?" And it's still on four wheels, how does it feel to sit up? ”

"Your Majesty, this is a new carriage made by my brother!"

As soon as the emperor's words fell, Li Yuanjia immediately replied: "And the younger brother thinks that as soon as this thing comes out, the two-wheeled carriage that has been used before will be completely extinct!" ”

"Huh? What did you say? ”

After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, this time it was the emperor's turn to be stunned.
