Secondly, we should encourage innovative thinking and provide necessary support and rewards for those who have the courage to invent and create.”

She changed the subject and continued, “However, the most urgent task is to quickly achieve mass production of steam engines.

It will be widely used in various industries of Datang, thereby promoting a leap-forward increase in production capacity."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with disappointment, "Steam engine?

I have sent people to the South China Sea to search for rubber.

Unfortunately, the journey is too long, and even if it can be found, it will take years to transport it back."

Li Lizhi smiled slightly and said with a hint of pride: "Father, you don't have to be so anxious.

"Little Lord Rang, with his heart set on the people of the Tang Dynasty, has used his merits to create a batch of steam engines, which are now installed in the Princess's Courtyard."

"What? It has been created?" Li Shimin was surprised and happy, and stood up suddenly.

He looked at Li Lizhi in disbelief, "Lizhi, are you serious?"

Li Lizhi nodded confidently, smiling broadly, "Father, this is absolutely true.

Mr. Xiao Rang's merits have brought this batch of precious steam engines to our Tang Dynasty.

As long as we make good use of it, we will surely promote the vigorous development of Datang Technology and lead the country to a more prosperous future."

Zhang Sun Wuji couldn't contain his excitement and said with emotion, "Great! God bless the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin couldn't wait to urge, "Quick! Take me to see the real appearance of this legendary steam engine. What is so magical about it?"

Li Lizhi nodded with a smile and led the expectant Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji to the princess's courtyard.

Along the way, the two were filled with curiosity and longing for the steam engine, and couldn't wait to witness this miracle with their own eyes.
