Li Shimin smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that his image in the little princess's mind was so strict.
But at this moment, he wanted to see what the little princess would do next.
So he chose to stand quietly at the door and not disturb the work inside.
When the little princess saw that the craftsmen were silent, she became angry!
"Hurry up and tell me! If you don't, I'll tell Yeye that you're bullying me and he'll chop off your heads!"
The little princess's "threat" made the craftsmen look at each other in bewilderment.
They knew that what the little princess said was not empty talk, and the emperor's favor for the little princess was obvious to all.
A middle-aged craftsman mustered up his courage, stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, we have indeed tried our best.
These parts are extremely difficult to make, and we have never come across such sophisticated machinery before.
Please give us some time and we will continue to improve until we meet your requirements."
After hearing this, the little princess's brows relaxed a little.
She actually realized that these craftsmen had indeed tried their best, but she just couldn't accept any imperfection.
In her opinion, this is not something that can be done with just hands, so why is it so difficult in the hands of these most powerful craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty?
Could it be that... they are the corrupt officials who are just sitting in their positions and doing nothing as Sister Jingyi mentioned?
"You guys..." In the end, all the doubts in the little princess' heart were combined into one sentence, "How stupid~~!!!"
"It seems that if we want to build a steam engine, we still need to rely on Sizida Xiaorangjun!"
After saying that, the little princess turned around and ran out the door without paying any attention to the embarrassed craftsmen on the scene.
When Li Shimin heard the little princess' words at the door, a wry smile appeared on his face.
He understood the little princess's disappointment and anxiety, but he also knew that the craftsmen had done their best.
They are not stupid, they just need time to adapt to and study this unprecedented mechanical device.
The little princess ran to the door and saw Li Shimin standing there. Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Yeah! Why are you here?"
Li Shimin squatted down, smiled and touched the little princess's head, "Sizi, you did a good job.
However, you have to know that manufacturing such a complex machine cannot be completed overnight.
We need to give the craftsmen some time and patience.”
After hearing this, the little princess lowered her head and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Well, Ye Ye is right.
Let’s give them some more time.”
Although she said this, the little princess thought in her heart that they were just too stupid.
So, after returning to the side hall of Lizheng Palace, the little princess lay down on the bed, and her soul traveled to the modern era.
In Li Haoze's mind, he kept chirping, "Little Rangjun! Little Rangjun! Those craftsmen are so stupid!"
"Sizi has clearly taught me in such detail, but they still can't do it well. It really makes me so angry!"
The little princess complained in Li Haoze's mind, her voice full of dissatisfaction and loss.
Li Haoze couldn't help but feel a little funny when listening to the little princess's complaints.
He knew that the little princess was a perfectionist and could not accept anything imperfect.
But at the same time, he also understood the difficulties faced by the craftsmen. After all, the manufacture of such precision machinery cannot be achieved overnight.
"Sizi, don't be too anxious." Li Haoze comforted him, "Making a steam engine is not a simple task. It requires time and experience.
Although those craftsmen have worked very hard, they may still need more practice and learning to master this technique.”
"But I can't wait any longer!" the little princess said eagerly. "I want to see the steam engine built sooner so that the Tang Dynasty can become even more prosperous!"
"I am the Princess Protector of the Tang Dynasty, and I must contribute to its prosperity!!!"
After hearing this, Li Haoze felt a sense of pride in his heart.
He knew that although the little princess was young, she had a heart that loved her country and her people.
She wanted to contribute her own strength to the development of the Tang Dynasty, and this spirit made Li Haoze admire her.
But at this moment he had indeed tried his best, and there was really nothing else he could do.
"Sizi, I understand your wish and I support you."
Li Haoze said gently, "But sometimes, things take time to develop.
Just like planting a seed, you can't expect it to bloom and bear fruit immediately.
We need to be patient and keep working hard to achieve the results we want.”
After hearing what Li Haoze said, the little princess pouted and seemed a little unwilling.
"But, little Ranjun, you are different!
You always help Sizi solve problems, you are Sizi's all-powerful little braggart~!"
Li Haoze couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
He knew that the little princess had great trust and dependence on him.
This feeling of being trusted made him feel warm in his heart, but at the same time he felt a little helpless.
After all, he is not really omnipotent.
"Sizi, you're too kind." Li Haoze said modestly, "There are still many things I don't understand, and I need to keep learning and exploring.
I have done my best to build this steam engine. The rest can only be completed through the hard work and practice of the craftsmen."
After hearing this, the little princess shook her head firmly and said coquettishly, "Sizi, don't worry, little Rangjun, you must have a way!"
"Since you can bestow upon Sizi the talent of the [Heart of Technology], you can surely grant him other talents as well."
The little princess said confidently, "Sizi, I believe that Xiao Rangjun can definitely do it!"
Hearing the little princess speak such mature words for the first time, Li Haoze was surprised, "What? You actually know all this?!"
The little princess tilted her head playfully and asked in confusion, "Sizi is very smart, why can't he understand these things?"
Li Haoze thought for a moment and decided that since the little princess possessed the talents of [natural intelligence] and [photographic memory], it was normal for her to be a little more mature occasionally.
However, facing the little princess's questioning, he could only smile helplessly and said, "Sizi, the talent I bestowed upon you is based on merit."
"I have used up all my merits, so I cannot grant you any more talents for the time being."
"That's it~" The little princess was a little disappointed after hearing this, but she quickly cheered up.
He suggested, "Little Rang-kun, since bestowing talents requires merit, why don't we just accumulate some more merit?"
"My little Sizi is the Princess Protector of the Tang Dynasty, and Yeye is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. And you, my little lord, are the Protector of the Tang Dynasty!"
“If we work together, we will surely be able to accumulate enough merits soon.
By then we can manufacture steam engines and make the Tang Dynasty even more powerful and prosperous!" the little princess said passionately.
These words immediately shocked Li Haoze.
