"Curious Duck in the Year of the Ox~" the little princess tilted her head and said seriously.
"Xiao Ran, you little bastard, did you do this on purpose? Knowing that I was coming, you let Sizi eat durian?" Li Shimin glared at Xiao Ran.
"Uncle, what you said is that Mingda wants to eat it, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Yes, yes, it takes seven to tie the nest~" the little princess said quickly.
"Okay, okay!" Li Shimin had no choice.
When they returned to the garage, Empress Zhangsun of Li Shimin smelled the scent of durian.
"Let's go see grandpa first, you guys eat quickly." Li Shimin didn't even want to sit in the villa.
He was in a hurry to find Li Yuan, and did not allow Princess Li Lizhi and others to go with him.
He left with Empress Changsun.
As soon as Li Shimin left, Li Ke and the tutor came out of the study.
The two of them were in a good mood, talking and laughing.
"How is your study going?" Xiao Ran also asked.
"It's pretty good. Li Ke is very serious and has made rapid progress. He's much better than I expected."
Li Ke used his real name directly.
The first time I realized that Li Ke had no foundation at all, my tutor also lowered his expectations.
After the tutor left, Li Ke pointed to the study and said, "Brother, I have to go back and record some things. There are some things I didn't write down just now. I need to check my notes."
"Okay, go ahead!" Li Ke's learning attitude is beyond words.
He has a good learning ability and a good and dignified attitude.
Li Yuan's days in the villa were much more leisurely than Li Shimin had imagined.
I am enjoying myself here and don’t miss Tang Dynasty!
Seeing the state of Li Yuan and Concubine Zhang, Li Shimin was happy, as it was considered to have made up for some of his debt to the other.
"Erlang, if you have nothing to do, go to Xiao Ran's place for dinner!" Li Yuan ordered him to leave. "I'm not cooking here right now. I have to play a song."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, grandpa, I'll go first." Li Shimin was not angry.
Li Shimin brought Empress Changsun back to the villa. They had finished eating the durian, but there was still some residual flavor, but not much.
Princess Yuzhang, who had just finished get off work in the evening, also returned to the villa, "Grandpa, Mother!"
"Well, girl, how do you feel?"
Princess Yuzhang sat down next to Empress Zhangsun. "It's great. I like the current situation. The people in the hospital are very interesting."
"How's the food over there? Are you used to it?"
"Mother, it's different from what we have at home, and not as delicious as what we have at home, but it's not bad either, it's quite delicious."
Princess Yuzhang knew that it was better than the imperial cuisine of the Tang Dynasty.
"Sizi, what is this?" Li Shimin also saw the magnifying glass in the little princess's hand.
"It's fun~"
"Little sac, come to your nest~"
"Grandpa, this is a magnifying glass. It's very interesting. Can you let me see it, Sizi?" Li Lizhi asked the little princess.
"Hmmmm~"
The little princess handed it to Li Shimin, "Grandpa~Hey~"
"Okay, okay." Li Shimin took the magnifying glass.
"Grandpa, use this to look at the fruits above." Li Lizhi pointed.
"Oh, how could this happen? It's grown so big?" Li Shimin had never seen such a situation before.
"It's a magnifying glass~" the little princess pointed.
"Magnifying glass, everything looks big when you use it." Li Lizhi also said.
"This is interesting." Li Shimin looked at the little princess, and the enlarged little princess was even more stunned.
Empress Changsun took the magnifying glass and said, "This is good for reading. The characters here are small, so this is a good choice."
"Aunt, your eyes won't be able to bear it for a long time. It's very uncomfortable. I don't recommend this." Xiao Ran said quickly.
"Xiao Ran, you asked me to come here, isn't that just for this? Although it's magical, I don't find it to be very practical."
"Uncle, don't be anxious." Xiao Ran picked up the telescope. "Uncle, look at it this way. Look far away, don't look at the near."
Li Shimin took the telescope, fearing that Xiao Ran would trick him. Xiao Ran told him not to look at anything close, but Li Shimin insisted on looking at something close.
Looking at the coffee table in front of him, Li Shimin's body swayed and he felt like he was stuck on the coffee table.
The distance was shortened suddenly, and the impact was huge.
"This..." Li Shimin was very excited. "What's going on?"
"Grandpa, this is a telescope. It brings us closer. We can see things very far away very clearly, as if they are right in front of us." Li Lizhi said.
Li Shimin handed it to Empress Zhangsun to feel.
Empress Changsun put down the telescope and said, "Your Majesty, this thing is very useful!"
"I've also thought about this. If I had this when leading troops in battle, I could detect the enemy in advance and prepare in advance, which would give me the upper hand. It would be very useful indeed."
After experiencing it, Li Shimin thought of using it in military affairs.
"This kind of thing is mostly used in the military." Xiao Ran also said.
"Okay, okay, this is good stuff."
"How much do you need, uncle?"
"The more the better!" Li Shimin wanted all Tang Dynasty generals to have telescopes.
"Twenty taels of gold each!"
When Li Shimin heard Xiao Ran's words, his heart skipped a beat. He felt like he had been tricked again.
Li Shimin felt upset and regretted his carelessness.
"Oh, we are all family, it's too formal to say these things." Li Shimin wanted to get something for free.
Getting something for free makes people happy, and the emperor is no exception.
"Uncle, it's very difficult for me to deal with you like this!"
Now it is acceptable for other people to buy things for her, and Princess Yuzhang is slowly understanding the 21st century.
The problem is sending it over.
Xiao Ran wanted to trick Li Shimin.
The imperial court made a lot of money from coal, fine salt, and salt mines.
"You can't ask for such a high price, kid! You're treating me like a fool. Ten taels of gold is the most you can ask for!"
"make a deal!"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had failed in bargaining.
It’s too expensive!
"It's settled, uncle, you're the emperor, you can't go back on your word!"
Li Shimin had no choice but to accept it and felt that ten taels of gold was acceptable. It was indeed a good thing.
I made up my mind not to talk to Xiao Ran anymore.
Xiao Ran has a monopoly and can ask for an exorbitant price.
Li Shimin had no idea what to do.
"I need it urgently, and the army must be equipped with it before it goes out to war soon." Li Shimin said.
"I can send it to you tomorrow."
"That's good." Li Shimin was very satisfied with the efficiency. "I need to prepare the radio. Some parts may be improperly operated and are not working well. I'm thinking of replacing them."
Li Shimin felt the benefits brought by telegraph after reading the battle report this time.
This way of conveying information is much better than before.
The speed at which the army is moving forward is likely to scare the countries in the Western Regions.
The time saved by telegram is quite a lot.
"Little Nang-kun, it's time for dinner~" The little princess saw that the food was ready on the table.
"Okay, uncle, let's talk while we eat." Xiao Ran pulled up the two little princesses.
"Where is Sanlang? Why hasn't he been seen?" Li Shimin finally realized that Li Ke had not seen him.
"Brother is studying in the study. Seventeen, go and call him." Li Lizhi pointed.
