Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen is still very sincere, and all three of them can feel this.

In Prince Ji's Mansion, the only person who could have his own manor and his own heirs was Shitou, the chief steward of the Marriage Affairs Mansion.

The other eunuchs who came out of the palace were quietly saving money after arriving at Prince Ji's Mansion.

Although Prince Ji's Mansion also told them that those who have worked in Prince Ji's Mansion for more than fifteen years will receive elderly care services.

But they don't know whether King Ji will honor it by then. The lives of most eunuchs in their later years are very miserable.

Now that King Ji has given them such high treatment, how can they not be grateful.

"Okay, you don't need to thank me. You deserve this, but you may lose your freedom in the future.

Even if you go home to see your children, someone will be watching you.

From now on, I can’t leave Prince Ji’s Mansion and go wherever I want. "Li Shen said seriously.

"Your Majesty, we didn't want to go anywhere before. Even if we don't do this, we can only stay in Prince Ji's Mansion in the future.

He would only leave Prince Ji's Mansion when he was too old to work. And we can’t go anywhere in the palace, we can only stay in our own area.

Most of the money he earned was given to Xiaojing, and the remaining money was not enough to provide for his retirement.

If His Highness Prince Ji hadn't taken pity on the slaves and took us in, we wouldn't know how we would live now.

We are helpless and abandoned by others. Even our family members are unwilling to recognize us. We are rootless people. "

While talking, these people all shed tears. They had no choice but to go to the palace and become eunuchs.

"Huh?" Li Shen thought carefully that this was indeed the case. It had been several years since these people came out of the palace to Prince Ji's Mansion.

Not to mention the mansion, they have never been to the front yard. Not only them, but also many eunuchs and maids from the palace in the backyard.

They have been working in Prince Ji's Mansion all year round. They don't have a home either. The palace used to be their home, but now Prince Ji's Mansion is their home.

Prince Ji's Mansion treated them very well and paid them much more wages and rewards than those in the palace.

Some of the maids were also married, and those who were willing to continue working would go to the front yard to work. Prince Ji's Mansion was very lenient towards them.

So it does make sense for Li Shen to hear what they said.

"Okay. That's it. As long as you keep the secret, you will be rich and powerful in the future. Stone will arrange it for you, and you won't have to wait on others anymore.

I am responsible for making gunpowder. I will make some first. But this time, I don’t need to make it that big. Just make it smaller, about the size of a fist. Make sure it doesn’t explode until you throw it out. You can study this yourself. "

Li Shen asked them to make small grenades.

The ball just now was too big, inconvenient to carry, and couldn't be thrown. But it can be launched with a hot air balloon. Or use a strong crossbow to eject, these all need to be tested.

The secret experiment here in the capital is too troublesome.

Afterwards, Li Shen told them some of his ideas and asked them to understand and try them on their own, and then asked the guards to take them back to Prince Ji's Mansion.

"My lord, it's all done." Shitou ran over sweating profusely.

"Well, just take care of it. Stone, do you think this fish pond will be bigger in the future? This time I dug out a piece like this."

Li Shen also had a headache. No one knew where his fish pond came from, only he knew. That's why trees are planted around the fish pond.

"Haha, Your Majesty, if it gets bigger, it will flood the farmland. There are slaves here for a thousand acres and two years." Shitou chuckled.

"You bastard, all you care about is money. Your prince and I are doing big things, so your mere thousand acres of fertile land is nothing.

How did I teach you before that you should regard money as dirt? There are many things in this world that are more important than money.

Don't always think about money, money, money. You have been with me for so long, how come you haven't made any progress at all? "

Li Shen began to severely criticize and educate Shi Shi.

"Yes, yes, the prince said yes." Shitou immediately nodded and bowed in agreement.

"Please arrange for those three people so that they won't have to work anymore. I will let them be responsible for the production of gunpowder.

You don't want to know the formula of gunpowder. You can't even take a look at it. I'll dig out your eyeballs.

I will put it in the treasury myself and give it to Your Majesty later when I have an opportunity. It's a bit early for this now. "

Li Shen gave Shi Shi an order and a stern warning.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I won't look at it." Shitou nodded obediently.

He knew that his master was protecting him. This thing was too powerful. Of course, he also knew the importance of this thing.

In the future, King Ji will definitely present this thing to His Majesty. When the time comes, His Majesty thinks this thing is important, and it is hard to say whether he will kill someone or silence him.

Of course it's okay that Prince Ji is his biological son, but those who have seen this recipe can't tell.

After everything was arranged, Li Shen took the people back to Prince Ji's Mansion and continued to live his life of luxury and luxury.

Li Shen had been waiting for Xue Rengui's return, and then went with him to the important town of Qinghai.

But not long after, Wang Hongfu hurried to Prince Ji's Mansion.

Li Shen was playing in the garden with his two children when Shitou ran over.

"Your Majesty, Shopkeeper Wang is here and has something urgent to report."

"Okay, I'll be here right now." Li Shen waved to the distance and asked the two wet nurses to take care of the children. He got up and followed Shitou to the front hall.

From a distance, I saw Wang Hongfu milling around there, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Old Wang, what makes you so anxious?"

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. Something happened." Wang Hongfu said before he had time to greet him.

"Let's go to the study." Li Shen stopped Wang Hongfu who was still talking and turned to the study.

After arriving at the study room, Wang Hongfu closed the door before reporting to Li Shen.

"Your Majesty, the materials we transported to Qinghai Province were robbed, including cement, steel, and cotton."

"Cotton cotton?" Li Shen was stunned.

"Yes, cotton worth half a million guan shipped from the Anxi Protectorate in the northwest was intercepted when it was approaching Liangzhou.

Nearly a thousand workers and guards transporting the goods were killed. The goods were nowhere to be found, and only about thirty guards escaped.

They went to Liangzhou to report the matter. The Liangzhou governor immediately sent people there, but they only saw corpses on the ground and no trace of the goods. "Wang Hongfu explained.

"What about steel and cement? That's in the inland of our Tang Dynasty. Even though the area from Lanzhou to Chiling is relatively deserted, there are a lot of merchants passing by."

That road was the Silk Road to the Western Regions. Many merchants going to the Western Regions would travel there and supply supplies in Lanzhou.

"My lord, it was intercepted more than a hundred miles away from the capital city, and it was discovered by passing merchants.

None of the transporters came back alive, and there was also a batch of goods belonging to the Zhao Guogong Mansion. "

(New Year's Eve is a busy time, and I hope to make some money at this time, so it's not that I don't want to add more updates.

I type slowly, 6,000 words, and I have to look up information and think about the plot. I have to write for more than five hours.

It's three or four in the morning every day. So I hope all book friends will forgive me. I will definitely add more updates when I am not too busy. )
