"Your Majesty, I have something to advise you!" Wei Zheng suddenly stood up, squinting his eyes, and looked at Li Shimin very seriously and bowed.

Li Shimin's heart 'smacked', and he smiled and said, "What's the important matter with Xuancheng? You can tell me now!"

"Your Majesty, I advise the court to add a subject in the imperial examination... mathematics. Officials cannot only recite poems and write couplets about the Four Books and the Five Classics. Especially local officials, they must be able to write and calculate in order to benefit the people."

Su Chen agreed with Wei Zheng's words the most. As a county magistrate, how can he know whether the people live well if he doesn't know statistics?

Li Shimin thought about it and nodded slowly, "Everyone, what do you think of Xuancheng's advice?"

"I second this!" Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others all agreed with Wei Zheng's suggestion.

Li Shimin then looked at Su Chen, "Boy, what do you think?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "I have no objection, and Uncle Wei is right. It's not that the county magistrate should be proficient in mathematics, but he should be able to read basic reports.

The population and food changes of a county can show many problems from the data."

"Okay, it's too late for this autumn examination. Xuanling, issue an order to add a mathematics subject to the imperial examination starting from next spring examination, so that candidates can learn mathematics in advance next year."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he looked at Su Chen with a smirk.

Su Chen suddenly felt like he was being stared at by a wolf, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"Boy, since you think that the imperial examination should add a mathematics subject, then the matter of mathematics textbooks and books will be handed over to you."

Before Su Chen could react, Li Shimin waved his hand, "Xuanling, assistant, follow me to Taiji Hall."

Li Shimin strode out.

Su Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Prince, let's go. I'll bring you something. Come with me to see it!"

After that, Su Chen and the five old gentlemen bowed and said goodbye.

"Thank you all for your hard work today. I'll take my leave first!" Li Chengqian bowed respectfully to Kong Yingda and others, and turned to leave the Prince's East Palace.

"Brother-in-law, what are you holding in your hand?" Li Chengqian asked, seeing that Su Chen had been holding a bag of things.

"Peanuts, I'll give them to you later."

...

Soon, Su Chen and Li Chengqian caught up with Li Shimin and others.

"Boy, tell me quickly, is that glass really made by Qingque?" Li Shimin pulled Su Chen over and asked, he was still thinking about those glasses in his heart!

"Yes, it was made by King Wei." Su Chen said bluntly.

Everyone returned to the pile of glass, and Li Chengqian opened his mouth wide when he saw the glass products.

These really tall and mighty high-quality glass, are they really made by Qingque?

"Come here, Prince, this is called 'The Great Peng Spreads Wings'. It was made by your brother himself. The craftsman helped a little. He asked me to give it to you."

Su Chen pointed to the tallest glassware and said.

"Ridiculous! What's the prince's? They are all mine." Li Shimin immediately protested. How could such precious colored glass be given to others?

Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly on the side and did not dare to answer.

"Your Majesty, you are a little unreasonable. The dragon and phoenix are for you and your mother, the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity are for the old man, and the Great Peng Spreads Wings is for the prince."

Su Chen was speechless. He had never seen such an unreasonable emperor.

"What do you want, uncles? Tell me, and I will make them all for you next time." Su Chen said to the others generously.

"Boy, do you know how much these colored glasses are worth? How can you give them away casually?"

Li Shimin shouted immediately.

The ministers felt cold in their hearts when they heard this. They had such an emperor.

"How much is it worth? Your Majesty, how much do you say!" Su Chen asked disdainfully.

"Humph! There is only one glass vase in my study, which is worth a hundred taels of gold." Li Shimin said in a bad tone.

Su Chen nodded after hearing this, "Oh, a hundred taels of gold, then Your Majesty, if you give me a hundred taels of gold, I will give you a few carriages, whatever you want. Okay?"

Li Shimin was shocked and said, "Are you serious?"

"Whoever regrets is a bastard!" Su Chen replied decisively.

"Wait! Tell me how this glass is made first!" Li Shimin saw that Su Chen was so straightforward, and he was afraid that there was a fraud.

Su Chen was immediately bored after hearing this, "Tsk! You are asking now, why didn't you ask me earlier."

"This thing is not worth money. In addition to the labor, it is made of sand, and it costs a hundred taels of gold!"

Li Shimin looked at Su Chen's appearance that deserved a beating, raised his leg and kicked him.

Su Chen quickly dodged to the side, "Hey~ Stop touching me!"

"Boy, you said these colored glazes are made of sand? You better think about it before you speak!" Li Shimin stared at Su Chen and said viciously.

"What's the benefit of me lying to you? You don't believe it, right? I'll break one for you to see, and you can see if I will frown."

After Su Chen finished speaking,He wanted to pick up the auspicious dragon and phoenix and throw them to the ground.

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

"Boy, stop, I believe you, I believe you!"

Li Shimin hurried forward to persuade him, this boy really wanted to throw it!

Finally, Fu Lu Shou Sanxing was sent to the emperor Li Yuan, and Dapeng spread his wings to send it to the East Palace.

...

Everyone came to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, this thing is called glass. Although it is not valuable, it has a wide range of uses."

"For example, window paper can be replaced by glass, which can not only block wind and rain but also transmit light.

If you are worried about privacy, you can make it one-way, so that you can see outside from the inside, but it is not easy for the outside to see inside clearly.

You can also use glass to make various utensils."

Everyone nodded while listening. Anyway, you didn't make it, and they didn't know what Su Chen was talking about.

"Boy, do you have any other important things to do when you come to the palace today?"

"I have nothing to do, I just came to take a look." Su Chen shook his head and said.

Li Shimin nodded, "My dear ministers, lunch will stay in the palace. I will have a lunch banquet in Taiji Palace. You can go to the residence of the emperor now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. We will take our leave!"

The ministers knew that Your Majesty and Su Chen would definitely go to the palace first. It would be inconvenient for them to go there with so many people.

Wang Defa raised his hand to call a little eunuch and whispered in his ear: "Go to the imperial kitchen and pass the order. Your Majesty will have two tables for lunch in Taiji Palace."

"Boy, let's go to the harem!" Li Shimin stood up and said after the ministers left.

"Okay, Your Majesty, please go first!" Su Chen smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"Humph! You are smart!" Li Shimin swaggered out of the imperial study.

In the past, Su Chen would not care about these things. Wherever he wanted to go, he would go first.

"By the way, boy, what do you have in your hand?" Li Shimin suddenly turned around and asked.

"Peanuts, let's talk later!" Su Chen responded.

Li Shimin nodded, and the three of them walked towards the harem, including Wang Defa, there were four of them.

Not long after, several people came to the harem.

"Sister!"

In front of the Lizheng Palace, there was a large open space, and Xiao Sizi was driving a kart alone, with only two palace maids watching.

"Brother-in-law, Xiao Sizi dared to drive this kart alone?" Su Chen asked Li Chengqian curiously.

"Haha, Mingda has been able to drive this kart alone for a long time." Li Chengqian laughed.

"Sister! You are here!" Xiao Sizi parked the car steadily in front of Su Chen and others.

"Xiao Sizi is really amazing, you drive a kart alone! Where is your brother?"

Su Chen squatted down and asked with a smile.

"Guo Guo plays Bo Ni chess!" Xiao Sizi said vaguely.

Little Sizi looked at the package in Su Chen's hand and asked, "Sister, are you tying peanuts in your hand?"

"Yes, have you eaten peanuts?" Su Chen asked with a smile.

"Yeah! I've eaten both!" Little Sizi said, holding up two fingers.

Su Chen was worried. Changle brought two packages to the harem, and she ate them all? "Little Sizi, it's sunny now, can we go in?"

"Okay!" Little Sizi said, and climbed out of the kart smoothly.
