Datang: Father, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 95

Li Shimin felt ashamed to look into Li Zhi's eyes.

He used all kinds of adult utilitarian thoughts to speculate on Li Zhi, and all he got was puzzlement, but he didn't expect the answer to be so simple for Li Zhi.

He did it just because it was "beneficial to the people"...

Wei Yingtai felt that things were gradually deviating from the original direction, and he couldn't wait to speak, but saw that His Majesty couldn't look at him, and had something to say.

"Did you know that private gatherings are not allowed?"

"I know." Li Zhi replied.

Li Shimin was stunned again when he heard the words, and stared at the void with his eyes. I am afraid that Li Zhi asked him for a blank edict to complete his workshop.

This silly boy, this kind of thing can't be changed by his decree.

"You, after all, you are just a child... This kind of thing is actually not very beneficial."

Li Shimin sighed and shook his head slightly.

"Everything in this world has its own characteristics. A merchant has to look like a merchant, and he sells things without seeking profit. This kind of thing is destined to only be used for playing games when you were a child..."

Ok? !

Li Zhi looked sideways slightly. He didn't expect that the second father Li, who was a professional soldier and a scholar, would see business so thoroughly.

If you sell things without seeking profit, you cannot expand the scale. If the ice factory does not change, you can only be trapped in a corner of Chang'an, and you cannot push this invention that is beneficial to people's livelihood further.

Li Zhi understood this.

But he really doesn't have any ambitions at the moment, and he doesn't want to raise any opinions by letting the group of knights toss about.

It should be too lazy to bring it up, Li Zhi is too afraid of trouble.

But now that the second father of Li has said so much, he can only compromise, "Then I will let them increase the price."

Wei Yingtai's expression was weird... Wait, wait!
This topic is not only off by a thousand miles, it is completely reversed!

If you can't interrupt, you have to interrupt!
"Your Majesty, where did you talk about? How can the prince set up a workshop? This matter must not be allowed!"

"I still don't know if what His Royal Highness King Jin said about the finances is true?" Wei Yingtai looked at Li Zhi unkindly.

"Even if it is true, the workshop must be closed immediately, and the Ninth Prince must be punished! Because of this incident, it has caused very bad repercussions in Chang'an County Government and Jing Zhaoyi, and we must give them an explanation!"

This Wei Yingtai really said the same thing, Li Shimin frowned again.

He was actually in favor of closing the workshop.

Li Zhi can't be immersed in these things anymore. In the past, people could live without refrigerators!

Li Shimin pondered, brewing words, "Children, you have to mature... After all, this workshop is just a child's play, and the status quo can't be changed simply by increasing the price."

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi suddenly said, "Father, why don't you go to the workshop to have a look in person? It's just outside the imperial city."

Li Shimin was stunned, and said to Li Zhi, "Do you have the confidence to let your father see it?"

Li Zhi shrugged, "I'm aboveboard, why don't you dare! But if you see something bad there, father, it has nothing to do with me, it's all their responsibility!"

Li Shimin stared and smiled, okay, kid!It seems really confident.

The atmosphere in the hall became more relaxed.

Li Zhi's calm performance also made Li Shimin a little ashamed again. He used all kinds of dirty thoughts to speculate before, which was really embarrassing.

"Okay, lead the way, my father will let you take a look!" Li Shimin was full of pride at this moment!

Wei Yingtai turned pale in awe. He never expected that it was the heart of a child that turned the situation around for the Ninth Prince.

He wanted to continue persuading His Majesty, but Li Shimin directly shouted at him, "You also follow!"

Wei Yingtai pointed to himself in astonishment, "I'm going too?!"

"That's right, you go too, to see for yourself!"

Li Shimin suddenly thought that it was not suitable to wear this suit, so he ordered Zhang Qian to find three suitable casual clothes.

Zhang Qian bent down and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you are still on duty now, or... go in the afternoon?"

It is rare for Li Shimin to be in high spirits now, so how could he endure it until the afternoon, "I will make up for the delay in the afternoon!" He said.

Zhang Qian had nothing to say and went to prepare.

The casual clothes were not hard to find, and Zhang Qian brought them after a while.

"Your Majesty, why do you need to change clothes? Why don't you send guards? I'm worried that there may be danger there, and there may be murderers there." Wei Yingtai persuaded.

Will Li Zhi's workshop be in danger?Wei Yingtai is clearly a drunkard who is not interested in drinking, and is still labeling Li Zhi!

Li Shimin glared at him sharply, his eyes were very fierce, "When I immediately killed the enemy in blood, the murderer was still sucking milk!"

"Stop talking nonsense, change clothes!"

Wei Yingtai then remained silent, not daring to say any more.

Today is a sunny day.

The blue sky in the sky was like washing, and a few large white clouds floated leisurely.

Li Shimin, Li Zhiwei, and Yingtai changed their clothes and left the gate of the inner imperial city in a low-key way, and continued to walk outside. On both sides of the very wide road, green weeping willows supported the wind, and soon arrived at the Suzaku gate.

Go out from here, and you will arrive at the bustling Chang'an City.

……

There are not many pedestrians on the street here.

Near the door, Hu Ling beat the wooden top with a whip made of bark, which a carpenter made for her.

The workshop was as busy as ever, and Li Yu'er and most of the chivalrous men were not there often. If they were not there, no one would teach her how to read and she could only play by herself.

When the three of Li Zhi came, Hu Ling saw Li Zhi from a distance, and walked up leading the tree whip.

He looked at the two people next to Li Zhi with vigilant eyes.

These two people looked very fierce at first glance, she asked what they were here for.

Li Zhi said indifferently, "He who came to look for a job happened to meet him on the way. You should lead the way ahead and go inside to have a look."

Li Shimin's forehead was beating. With his temperament, who would believe you who are looking for a job? !
He said to himself, "We are here to discuss business, you lead the way!"

The tone was commanding. Although Hu Ling was uncomfortable hearing it, the people brought by Li Zhi didn't say anything in the end.

Li Shimin walked behind and asked Li Zhi in a low voice, "Who is this little girl? You still accept such a young child here?"

Li Zhi replied, "The child next door is an orphan."

Hu Ling's father was a gambler, and he hadn't shown up for two months. He would show up at least once every three to five days before. Li Zhi reckoned that he was gone.

Li Shimin nodded. She was a poor child. The workshop gave her a bite to eat so that she would not starve to death or be reduced to a brothel.

The workshop covers an area of ​​three to four hundred square meters. It used to be more than enough to make only ice cubes. Now that some carpenters have been invited in, it seems a bit crowded.

It's obviously a place where ice cubes are made, but as soon as you walk in, you can feel a surge of heat blowing your face!

Li Shimin came back to his senses, no, he was still cold!
What made him feel hot was the full smiling faces of the workers, so that he had an illusion.

"This……"

The workers wore sackcloth gloves on their hands and uniforms on their bodies. Why were they so happy when they were doing hard work like carrying ice cubes?
Li Shimin was surprised, "Father... I heard you say that the cost of labor is very high. They went from nothing to riches, it shouldn't look like this!"

Li Shimin has seen too many faces of people who get rich quickly.Arrogant and arrogant, definitely not like now!

He couldn't understand.
