Chapter 20: The Prince Who Doesn't Do His Job

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Li Chengqian remembered the cumbersome process of burning bricks in ancient times. So there was a touch of helplessness on his face.

However, Li Chengqian would not give up his decoration business like this, so he said to Lu Yan: "You wait for a while, and this palace will give you a new method of burning bricks." ”

Li Chengqian took out paper, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and at the same time entered his consciousness into the super squirting system. Began to collect materials on red brick firing in the library.

The corrosion resistance and durability of red bricks are very deficient compared with green bricks. However, the firing process and time have been greatly improved.

And Li Chengqian didn't think how long a house would last, so Li Chengqian was ready to use red bricks to build his Yiqiu Palace.

Soon Li Chengqian obtained a complete document and recorded it. After Li Chengqian withdrew from the super squirting system, he handed over the red brick firing process he had recorded to Lu Yan.

And said to Lu Yan: "You take this firing secret recipe from the palace and find a suitable place to build a kiln near Chang'an City." Then the red bricks were burned for the main palace to build the Yiqiu Palace. ”

Although Lu Yan is a carpenter, he is not very proficient in this kiln method. But since Li Chengqian arranged it, Lu Yan naturally couldn't shirk it.

So he opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince, the grass people will do their best." Burn red bricks for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is absolutely unacceptable. If the emperor knows, it will inevitably be grounded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again. Eldest Sun Chong hurriedly spoke to stop him.

"Since you haven't left, take some money to Lu Yan, we can't talk nonsense, and call people without money." Li Chengqian ignored Li Chengqian's words, but directly explained.

The eldest grandson Chong, who ate, had a sad expression, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "People follow the prince to eat fragrant and drink spicy, and I follow the prince not only can't get good fruits to eat, but also take money to help the prince mess around." ”

……

"How's the Yiqiu Palace being built?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked the master craftsman.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered the work to be stopped. Therefore, at present, the minister is only preparing the required materials for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince according to the requirements of His Royal Highness the Prince. The master craftsman said to Li Shimin.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the work to be stopped, why did he say that the work should be stopped?" Li Shimin asked the master craftsman with a puzzled face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that the original drawings were not satisfactory, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has redrawn the drawings. And designated a special person to be responsible for the reconstruction of Yiqiu Palace. The master craftsman said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and then sent the master craftsman to leave. Then he got up and walked towards the Lizheng Palace.

When Li Shimin came to the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun was playing with Li Zhi, the king of Jin.

Seeing Li Shimin coming over, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Then he stood aside very well-behaved.

But Empress Eldest Sun saw that Li Shimin's face was a little angry, so she opened her mouth and asked Li Shimin: "Second brother, I don't know who made you angry again." ”

"Who else can it be, it's not your precious son Li Chengqian." Li Shimin said angrily.

"What trouble did Gao Ming cause again? It's made you angry like this. Besides, if he is my son, is he not your son? Empress Changsun glared at Li Shimin and said.

"I shouldn't rebuild Yiqiu Palace for him, just let him live in the place he is now. lest he begat another moth. Li Shimin said.

Then Li Shimin said the words of the master craftsman to the eldest grandson queen as it was.

Empress Eldest Sun was also helpless after hearing this. secretly said in his heart that his son was too uneasy.

But in the final analysis, Empress Changsun is still very doting on Li Chengqian. So he said to Li Shimin: "Second brother don't be angry, I'll go to Gao Ming's residence later to see what he's going to do." ”

……

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is a famous kiln burner in Chang'an City. He is responsible for building a brick kiln for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he will definitely be able to burn good red bricks. Lu Yan pointed to a person beside him and said to Li Chengqian.

"Tong Shougang, the grass people, saw His Royal Highness the Prince. This is where the brick kiln was built, and now the grass people have arranged to start construction, and it is estimated that it will be completed in more than ten days. Tong Shougang said to Li Chengqian.

"Good, but it has to be quickened. The main palace can wait for the bricks you burned to rebuild the Yiqiu Palace. Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, although the number of red bricks used in the construction of Yiqiu Palace is very large. But if it is only the red bricks used in the Yiqiu Palace, it will be a bit of a waste to build such a brick kiln. ”

"I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to operate this brick kiln. Grass farmers can sell the burned red bricks. In this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also have some additional income. Tong Shougang said to Li Chengqian.

"Nonsense, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the country. How can you run this brick kiln, you want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to become the target of public criticism. The eldest grandson Chong glared at Tong Shougang angrily and said.

"When did you learn to be like those old stubborns in the country. Don't you know that although money is not everything, it is impossible to have money? Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Chong and said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future emperor, sitting on the Tang Dynasty, how can he lack money."

"Shinong businessmen, businessmen are the most despicable, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince surrender his identity." The eldest grandson Chong said to Li Chengqian in a righteous manner.

"This palace really regrets a little bit now, and I regret letting you be the prince of this palace. It seems that Hongu is going to systematically educate you. ”

"From tomorrow onwards, you will study with Hongu. lest you be overwhelmed in the future. Li Chengqian said with a helpless expression.

Changsun Chong wanted to say something more, but Li Chengqian waved his hand at him. Then he said to Tong Shougang: "First burn a sufficient number of red bricks for the palace, and then you will run this brick kiln." ”

When Tong Shougang heard Li Chengqian's words, he was naturally very happy. So he hurriedly nodded and said to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, his subordinates will definitely manage this brick kiln well." ”

Then Li Chengqian took his eldest grandson Chong to inspect the brick kiln, and then returned to Chang'an City.

When Li Chengqian returned to his temporary residence in the Taiji Palace, he saw Xiao Rou standing there with a nervous face.

So Li Chengqian said with a mocking face: "Is it that if you haven't seen this palace for a day, you already want to don't want it?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in the mood to make fun of the slave maid here, you better think about how to explain to the queen mother later." Xiao Rou glared at Li Chengqian and said.

"What did you say, you said that the mother came to the residence of the main palace?" Li Chengqian hurriedly asked Xiaorou.
