Li Shimin finally agreed to the proposal of Fang Xuanling and others.

He knew that if he rejected them, the chatter would never subside.

The longer this matter drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Li Zhi.

And his own maintenance may even make the crown prince Li Chengqian have bad thoughts in his heart.

However, although Li Shimin agreed to their request, he also won the greatest interests for Li Zhi.

So two days later, at the court meeting, Zhang Ananda once again announced in public a new appointment of Li Zhi.

"Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is brilliant, and has offered a number of important inventions for the benefit of the country and the people in the past few days.

Zhang Ananda continued: "Li Zhi, the king of the Jin Dynasty, was appointed as the pastor of Yongzhou, and concurrently led the governor of Xiangzhou, and the number of food estates increased to 15,000. ”

When the ministers in the Taiji Hall heard Zhang Ananda read this, they immediately began to whisper.

They were already doubting Li Zhi's ability, but at this moment, they were full of puzzlement when they heard him being sealed again.

Someone looked at Fang Xuanling and the others who were standing in front of them, and found that they didn't react.

At this moment, Ananda Zhang took out another holy decree.

He coughed lightly and reminded everyone to be quiet, and then continued to read: "The king of Nian Jin is quite accomplished in the way of things, and he is specially appointed to serve as a young eunuch to help improve various crafts. ”

When everyone heard this, they finally knew why Li Zhi was suddenly sealed today.

It turned out that the three prime ministers had forced the emperor to agree to let the King of Jin come out to prove his strength.

After figuring this out, the chatter in the court finally stopped.

Next, they will have to pay serious attention to Li Zhi's performance.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Shimin personally found Li Zhi and told him about the affairs of the court.

He said to Li Zhi helplessly: "Pheasant slave! The ministers of the DPRK and China are also for the sake of the community, so you must not resent them. ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Erchen doesn't complain about them, Erchen is feeling that many ideas can't be put into practice, and now he has an opportunity." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw Li Zhi's appearance.

In his opinion, this is because Li Zhi understands his difficulties, so he deliberately shows that he is happy.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Li Zhi himself was waiting for such an opportunity.

The research he is conducting now is only Liu An who can help him on the sidelines.

This slowed down his research a lot.

At the same time, because he does not understand the current level of science and technology of Datang, he is a little constrained when doing many things.

And the general supervisor just concentrated all the advanced technology and top talents of Datang.

This gives him more room to play.

When Li Zhi came to report on the prison, Yan Lide, the supervisor, personally greeted him.

There's no way, don't look at Li Zhiren, but he is a prince.

Although Yan Lide is nominally the leader of Li Zhi, the identities and status of the two have to be transferred.

After the two met, Yan Lide first saluted Li Zhi and said, "Your Royal Highness the King of Jin. ”

Li Zhi replied: "Lord Yan doesn't need to be polite, in the future, this king will be sent by your subordinates, and please take care of it." ”

Yan Lide immediately replied in fear: "King Jin said that he laughed, how can the lower officials send His Highness at will, and I hope His Highness will give him more advice." ”

Li Zhi said: "Since my father ordered me to come here on an errand, I naturally have to abide by the rules of officialdom, Lord Yan does not need to worry, even if there is something to order, this king should do it." ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Yan Lide secretly smiled bitterly.

He had also heard about the recent movements of the DPRK and China, and what he didn't expect was that this matter would actually throw the problem into his hands in the end.

So far, he has no choice but to lead Li Zhi to the public house prepared for him, and at the same time simply introduce him to the things that will be in charge of the prison.

The main responsibility here is actually to build the house and provide some miscellaneous utensils.

Li Zhi had already understood these before.

Therefore, when he finished visiting his public house, he immediately opened his mouth and said to Yan Lide: "Lord Yan, can you take this king to various workshops for a walk?" The king was curious about this. ”

Yan Lide hurriedly agreed.

Although there are many tasks that will be taken care of by the supervisor, there are not many that really need to be done in a fixed workshop.

After Li Zhi took a tour, he already had a general understanding of the level of handicrafts in this era.

Among them, he took a great interest in the manufacture of horse-drawn carriages.

Most of the carriages used by the royal nobility were four-wheeled, and although they were ornate in style, they did not have a steering function.

Whenever it is necessary to steer, it needs to be forcibly reversed by man or horse.

In addition, the horse-drawn carriages do not have a shock absorption system, and the wooden wheels on both sides are connected by two axles that run across the chassis.

After seeing such a carriage, Li Zhi immediately understood why the officials of the Tang Dynasty liked to ride horses when they traveled.

Because riding in such a carriage is actually more sinful than riding a horse.

So Li Zhi decided to improve the structure of the carriage first, and make the carriage as comfortable as possible without rubber.

So Li Zhi immediately began to get busy after returning to his public house.

He had to use his mechanical knowledge to design a steering system for the carriage.

In addition, bearings are installed on the wheels and bow plates for shock absorption on the body.

Since he didn't know the current level of steelmaking in Datang, the bearings he chose were the copper bearings that are now used in some large instruments.

For the bow board, he chose wooden.

None of these parts are very difficult to make, so it is relatively easy to fall on the drawing.

Therefore, when Li Zhi finished drawing the drawings and handed them over to Yan Lide, it was not yet noon.

When Yan Lide finished reading the drawings given to him by Li Zhi, he couldn't help but rub his eyes several times.

After confirming that he was not mistaken, Yan Lide immediately looked at Li Zhi with an expression like a ghost.

At this time, Yan Lide's mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide open, and he had even completely forgotten the etiquette of monarchs and ministers.

He held up the drawing in his hand and stumbled to Li Zhi and asked, "This, this, this is what His Highness just had... Just came up with it? ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yes!" The king felt that with the addition of these devices, the carriage should be much more comfortable to ride. ”

Yan Lide was originally a master craftsman, and his understanding of these devices is naturally very thorough.

At this moment, he looked at the drawing in his hand again, and a bitterness suddenly appeared in his mouth.

He now felt ashamed that the problem that he had not been able to solve by himself for so many years was solved by the child in front of him with just one glance.

He didn't feel worthy of sitting in this position at all, and compared to Li Zhi, he felt that he could only be regarded as an apprentice at best.

After a while, Yan Lide seemed to have finally made up his mind.

He suddenly knelt down in front of Li Zhi and said, "Student Yan Lide is not talented, please ask His Highness to accept me as an apprentice..."
