Chapter 55: Consider becoming a prince(1/2)
Want to borrow money from me?
Is this guy looking for a fight?
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian smiled silly: "Isn't you going to build a ship? If you don't have enough money, you come to your father for support."
"You don't have enough money?"
Li Shimin knew that Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji were engaged in business together.
The piles of copper coins almost filled Li Chengqian's warehouse.
This guy actually told him that he had no money? ??
Li Shimin threw the memorial on the table: "What, you kid is itchy and want to be beaten?"
While speaking, his eyes were still scanning Li Chengqian's butt.
Since he regretted beating Li Chengqian by mistake last time, he hasn't beat Li Chengqian for a long time.
This hand is really itchy.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian subconsciously covered his butt and took two steps back.
"Father, you don't know how expensive it is to build a ship."
"Just buying some iron pear wood, I've cheated me of more than a thousand copper plates."
It was just six propellers that cost more than a thousand copper plates.
If you continue to do it, wouldn’t you have to spend all the savings in your warehouse?
Then wouldn't I be turning back into a pauper again?
Li Chengqian said bitterly: "Father, my good father, please support me some money."
"Want to ask me for money to build a ship?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with a smile on his lips.
Li Chengqian nodded quickly.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin smiled even more: "It's easy to say if you want money. I will issue an edict to make you the crown prince tomorrow, so that you will have money."
???
What?
Make yourself the crown prince?
Li Chengqian took two steps back and smiled bitterly: "Father, this is not a joke."
"Who said I'm joking?"
Li Shimin threw the memorial directly on Li Chengqian.
"Look at it for yourself."
Li Chengqian opened the memorial suspiciously,
However, I saw that it was written on it that the country could not be without a single day. Finally, I named Li Shimin and appointed him as the crown prince.
Isn't this forcing myself to die?
Li Chengqian quickly showed anger: "This is simply nonsense."
"The Tang Dynasty is booming under the rule of his father, and I still need the crown prince to help share the government affairs?"
"Father, you can't believe the words of this villain, so you can enthrone the prince."
Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance of being named as the crown prince, Li Shimin rolled his eyes.
"Give you a sip of tea, hurry up and get out of here."
"Don't bother me if you're okay!"
"No, father, money..."
"What's the money?"
"I don't want money, I don't want to give it to you if I want to die, get out of here."
Li Shimin waved his hands randomly and was about to drive away people.
Li Chengqian said bitterly: "Even if my father doesn't give me money, he has to build a boat for me."
"The large open space in the northern suburbs is not enough for you to build a ship?"
Li Shimin continued to pick up the next memorial and said, "Get out of here quickly, otherwise you will break your legs."
After saying that, no matter what Li Chengqian said, Li Shimin ignored it.
Li Chengqian was so angry that his teeth were itchy.
I am the one who cheats my son, and I am really the emperor in the trap.
But it's pretty good. I didn't come in vain today. At least the open space in the northern suburbs of Chang'an City belongs to me.
With a R&D site, you can save some money no matter what.
After Li Chengqian left, Li Shimin raised his head and smiled as if he had succeeded in conspiracy.
...
After this, Li Chengqian didn't want to let Li Shimin pay for money, and devoted himself to the great shipbuilding industry.
In order to apply the propeller to the hull, Li Chengqian invested a lot of money.
The keel of the hull is entirely made of
It is made of iron pear wood that is not afraid of water soaking, and the hull barrel is made of fir.
In order to be able to apply propellers, Li Chengqian and Li Xiaogong discussed and adopted the future format of a flatbed.
At the suggestion of Li Xiaogong, a total of six four-fan propellers with a length of more than half a meter were installed at the bottom of the ship, four on the back and two on the side.
There are wooden bicycles in the cabin with the same principle as dynamic bicycles, and people pedal on them generate kinetic energy.
Then drive the chain, the chain drives the gear, the gear then drives the chain lock, and finally drives the propeller.
On the day the ship was completed, Li Xiaogong and Li Chengqian were both present.
Li Xiaogong looked at Li Chengqian with a little bit of admiration.
I really underestimated this little guy.
...
mid-September of the first year.
Before the epoch-making propeller ship was launched, Li Chengqian specially invited Li Shimin to come and watch the ceremony.
{Received a surprise value from Li Shimin +102...}
{Received a surprise value from Changsun Wuji +23...}
{Received a surprise value from Cheng Yaojin +25...}
The third gangster of the Tang Dynasty was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth when riding on this large flat boat with a length of more than fifty meters and a width of more than ten meters.
When Li Shimin heard that Li Chengqian had a boat that could travel 500 miles a day, he really thought that Li Chengqian was whimsical.
But now it seems that Li Chengqian is not whimsical, it is clearly because he has a short-sighted understanding.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin proudly: "What, my father should fulfill your promise to me now, right?"
Do you want to be face-saving?
Have to say it in front of so many people?
Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian and then cleared his throat.
"Ahem..."
"I will do what I say, but you don't have to keep talking."
"I'm afraid you'll forget it."
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with a tall mouth
.
His actions further deepened Li Shimin's idea of letting him be his successor.
"With such talent, don't be the crown prince?"
“Isn’t it a bit too wasteful?”
Although he didn't say it, the look really made Li Chengqian feel a little uncomfortable.
But his scheming was not on the same level as Li Shimin, so he didn't see anything.
