After listening to Baiqi's introduction to coal, Li Tai immediately sent his subordinates to embark on the road to Shanxi together with Master Zhang and others from the brick kiln. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Coal mine is a resource, you can't be greedy alone, you must have the participation of my royal family!" Li Tai usually doesn't care about these things, and focuses on research, but he is very resolute in this matter: "You told me that resources are the most valuable wealth in the world. So, this wealth must be led by the state, but you are allowed to drink some soup! ”

White turned his back and didn't want to talk to Li Tai, a little fat man. Isn't it because Li Shimin wants to build a palace for him on Longshou Mountain, there is not much money in the inner library, and the eldest grandson must be thinking of letting himself help her make some more money, and it just so happened that Li Tai met this time.

Fortunately, I can drink some broth by myself, and this business can still be done.

In the afternoon, Li Tai was gone, and he was going back to continue the gunpowder experiment. He wanted to use the power of the instant burst of gunpowder to develop a weapon that could shoot farther and more lethal than a bow and arrow, so he came to ask for White's opinion.

With a blank face, Bai Qi drew him a sketch of the explosive bag, grenade, and flint gun of the later generations, leaving Li Tai with a back and leaving. White really doesn't know what to say, so I can only wish Li Tai a successful research as soon as possible - although many key technologies have not yet progressed, it can't dampen people's confidence!

The comic of "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year" has begun to appear in Chang'an City, and Fat Man and Situ Hao have also promoted this comic book to various regions in the south of the Yangtze River through their respective business networks.

Bai Qi looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, and his heart was full of joy of anticipation.

Farmers in Lantian and Ziwu counties near Chang'an were also full of joy, who received the first batch of potato seedlings distributed by the imperial court, and each household would set aside one-fifth of the field to plant potatoes. Sinong Temple specially asked Bai Qi to write a book on potato planting, and asked him to give relevant training to the officials of Sinong Temple. Therefore, along with the distribution of potato seedlings, the officials of Sinong Temple also went down to various towns and villages to guide farmers in early sowing and later planting. In order to be able to promote it smoothly, the imperial court also specially subsidized the farmers who planted potatoes.

The spring rain is as expensive as oil, and it is blowing one after another, and the first continuous spring rain of this spring will fall.

Bai Qi pulled up his trouser legs, led the people in the house, and planted potatoes in his field with a hoe, and from time to time blew cowhides with the people in the field next door.

Uncle Wang, the housekeeper, trotted all the way from the field: "Master Hou, there is a prince who is said to be called Ka He Wade and said that he wants to see you!" ”

White looked up, glanced at Kavad, who was standing on the side of the road, put the hoe on his shoulder, and walked to the edge of the field with a smile.

"Dear Prince Kavad, I haven't seen you for a long time, can you get used to living in Chang'an?" White glanced at the ruddy-faced Kavard and his servant Haz behind him, put the hoe down, and jumped into the ditch at the edge of the field, the cold water irritating the skin on his legs, causing White to let out a long sigh of comfort.

"In my country, farming is generally done by slaves! But I see that in the Tang Dynasty, not only you, Lord Hou, but also your prime minister and other officials, they all like to do this kind of thing, why is this? Prince Kavad asked, looking at white curiously.

Bai Qi laughed, got up from the canal, opened the lunch box and took out a few pieces of osmanthus cake and a pot of tea, handed a piece of cake to the two of them, took a bite and then drank tea, looked at the rain in the sky with great enjoyment and said: "My Tang Dynasty is based on agriculture, and agriculture is the foundation of the country. Whether it is His Majesty or every one of the people below, it is natural that they will engage in agricultural production with great admiration, so it is normal for the prince to see the coarse linen clothes farming with the guests of the temple! ”

Prince Kavad nodded and said approvingly: "Master Hou is right, this prince already has a deep understanding of this point of the Tang Empire. He took a bite of the osmanthus cake, and then said to Bai Qi: "The great lord of the Tang Dynasty told me that now you are in charge of the affairs of the Sassanid Empire, I wonder what you are going to do, Master Hou?" ”

"Why didn't the prince stay in Chang'an a few more days? Could it be that life in Chang'an is boring to the prince? ”

"No, no, no! This prince is taken care of a lot by the lord of the Tang Dynasty and the marquis, and the life in Chang'an is very interesting, how can he get bored. If it weren't for domestic affairs, Prince Ben would also be willing to stay in the Tang Dynasty for a long time. I hope that Lord Hou can understand the urgent return of this prince! Kavard shook his head and looked at white with a sincere expression.

White lowered his head and thought seriously for a long time, and just when Kavad seemed a little impatient, he raised his head and said seriously: "Dear prince, how about waiting for two more months?" Traveling to the Sassanid Empire with the mission of avenging your quest to reclaim the throne, you need to do enough of your preparation to get close to your goal in one fell swoop! ”

Kavard nodded in satisfaction, he had only come over this time to confirm the time. He also has a shot in his own heart, knowing Datang's plans, Datang also knows his plans, the two use each other, each takes what he needs, as long as it does not harm the interests of both parties, Kawad is willing to wait for two more months.

Looking at the back of the two of Kavad leaving, Bai Qi walked to the side of the canal and washed his face with cold water to make his mind clearer. He called Uncle Wang, the housekeeper, and told him to pay attention to the cultivation of potatoes, and then rode home. Now, he needed a quiet space to rethink whether his preparations had been done well and whether he had missed any of the various preparations.

Li Shimin was sitting in the Lizheng Hall, and the comic book in his hand was taken by Li Zhi from Bai Qi's house, and when he saw the funny, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Lu Zheng, that kid from white chess hasn't been here to see me for a long time, what has he been doing lately?" Li Shimin picked up the teapot and took a sip into the spout.

"Your Majesty, the little marquis has recently shrunk in Taoyuan Village to give lessons to Tang Yuanli, and he writes books in his spare time. Yesterday, Prince Kawad also ran to him and asked him when he was going to make an envoy to the Sassanid Empire. ”

"Oh, what did the kid say?" Li Shimin put down the comic book in his hand and became interested.

"Your Majesty, the little marquis said that in two months, when everything is ready, you can go!"

Li Shimin said softly: "Two months? What else are you kid preparing? He waved his hand, pulled Lu Zheng down, looked at the comic books on the table, and said to himself: "Plant flowers, plant flowers, isn't it China?" What is this kid implying to him? Interesting! ”

Li Zhi saw his father sitting on the chair without speaking, and walked over "step by step", pulling his father's trouser leg with one small hand, and holding a piece of osmanthus cake with the other hand, and stretched out to Li Shimin: "Father, father, the young slave brought you delicious osmanthus cake!" ”

Li Shimin woke up from his contemplation, looked at his little son's cute appearance, picked it up, took a bite of the osmanthus cake, and then rubbed Li Zhi's face with his face, making Li Zhi giggle.

The eldest grandson, who was sitting in front of the loom, heard the laughter of his husband and youngest son, and couldn't help but poke his head out and look at the father and son playing, with a happy smile on his face.

"Go to the kitchen and bring the lotus seed soup I made earlier to your majesty to drink." The eldest grandson said to the palace maid beside him.

"Yes, sissy."

The eldest grandson looked at Li Shimin's father and son, smiled, lowered his head and continued to finish weaving the cloth on hand. I heard Qingque say that he is researching a loom that does not use manpower and water power, and he is almost successful, so he is really full of expectations!
