Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shimin took the tea handed over by Wang De, took a sip, and then said:

“Although your training is unique and suitable for the battlefield, there is one thing: the training location.

You only train in Dongshan, so there is actually no difference between training once and ten times.

The soldiers were too familiar with Dongshan and knew the terrain there by heart.

That defeats the purpose of training.”

Sure enough, it’s different after leading troops.

Li Shen thought to himself that he also knew this, but there was nothing he could do.

The troops were not allowed to leave the camp without orders.

Especially since his guard camp is so close to Chang'an City.

When he plotted against those officials, Li Shen had to go to the palace to report, saying that he wanted the cooperation of the Yulin Guards, but in fact he just wanted to let Li Shimin know that it was Li Jian who did it.

Otherwise, it will happen without anyone noticing and will definitely cause fear.

"Aye is indeed very insightful and has hit the nail on the head with one sentence.

But Aye, the soldiers in the guard camp are not allowed to leave the station without orders. This is the law.

Even if the child is misbehaving, you cannot disobey him.

Otherwise, disaster will surely come.”

"Humph! Do you know the law?"

Hearing Li Shen talking about the law, Li Shimin snorted with disdain.

"You are right, that's why I said this is a disadvantage."

"Aye, how about I give the sharp blade to you, brother? And give it to you along with their family as a fief.

I don’t want the blade anymore.”

Li Shen suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, this is against the rules."

Before Li Shimin could speak, Wang De spoke first.

"It's against the rules again? It's not allowed for family members to go together."

Li Shen said angrily.

He had originally suggested giving the sharp blade to Li Shimin, but that turned out to be against the rules.

Now he wanted to give Li Jian to Crown Prince Li Chengqian, along with Li Jian's family. It would be against the rules to sever ties like this.

“Well, Wang De is right, it is indeed against the rules.

Besides, Gao Ming is not allowed to use sharp blades now, what he needs is help in the court."

The emperor isn't dead yet, but the prince has already set up a professional assassination team. What on earth is he trying to do?

Li Shimin really wanted to ask, are you giving the prince an assassination team in order to kill me?

"Yes, yes, Aye is right. I didn't think it through."

Li Shen also thought of this relationship and almost became careless.

“Just now you said that Li Jian had changed his clothes and put on some cold-weather gear.

Is this the cotton-padded jacket made by your palace? "

Li Shimin did not dwell on it, nor did he try to make things easy for Li Shen. Instead, he changed the subject.

It's actually a good thing that the blade is immature.

“Replying to Aye, it is indeed a cotton coat.

The equipment of the guard battalion is the same as the equipment I gave to the soldiers of Qinghai Road Protectorate.

They are all equipped with a full set of cold-resistant equipment, so they can train safely in winter."

Li Shen nodded.

"Haha, you, Prince Ji, are really wealthy."

Li Shimin laughed, but it seemed a little sinister to Li Shen.

"Father, I don't have any wealth. Before the New Year's Eve this year, I had to borrow one million strings of cash from my elder sister.

Otherwise, there won’t even be enough to pay the craftsmen.”

Li Shen was extremely alert, because there were always some people who were thinking of harming him every day.

"Haha."

Li Shimin was amused by Li Shen's expression.

"Do you think I want you to donate some to the court?"

"That's not the case. Even if we want to donate, Prince Ji's Mansion doesn't have that much cotton."

Li Shen argued cunningly.

"What if I want to buy it?"

Li Shimin continued to drink tea and asked.

"If Aye wants to buy it, he might as well buy it from those nobles. It's cheaper than on the market."

Purchase? Li Shencai didn't believe it, and his first reaction was to deceive himself by saying that he bought it.

In the end he won't give the money. Who would dare to ask the emperor for a debt?

His father is trying to get something for nothing again.

"What? Are you afraid that I won't give you money?" Li Shimin asked, looking at Li Shen's expression.

"No, no, the main reason is that my Ji Wang Mansion does not have so many goods."

Li Shen waved his hands quickly.

"Then how many sets can you produce this year?"

Li Shen counted on his fingers.

"Replying to Father, I can only provide 150,000 sets of winter supplies. More will have to come next year."

"Fifteen thousand sets?" Li Shimin touched his chin.

"150,000 sets are a bit too few. We need at least 200,000 sets."

Li Shimin shook his head.

"Father, I can't provide 200,000 cold-weather supplies.

There’s not that much cotton.”

Li Shen also shook his head.

"Okay, 150,000 sets, that's 150,000 sets. How much do you plan to sell them for?"

Price is what Li Shimin is concerned about.

"Aye, a set includes cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded pants, quilts, gloves, hats, etc.

So the price might be a bit higher. How about a set of two strings of silver?

It’s really the price of cost.”

"Two strings of cash, are you trying to rob me? You want such a high price."

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard Li Shen's answer.

This son must be crazy because of poverty, only two strings of cash.

"Aye, there are so many varieties in one set, and evenly distributed, each one doesn't cost that much."

Li Shen said aggrievedly.

No matter what Li Shen said, Li Shimin still shook his head. He knew there was a lot of water in it.

"Just tell me how much you want to ship it for."

Li Shimin didn't want to waste any more time talking to Li Shen.

"One string of coins. No less." Li Shen raised a finger and said seriously.

Li Shimin calculated that one set was for one coin, so 150,000 sets would be 150,000 coins.

The court could still afford such a small amount of money, so it finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, one string of money is one string of money, but I have to make it clear that you can't play tricks. These are for the soldiers.

Submit the cold-weather supplies as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Aye, I have always been honest in doing business and have never cheated.

Not to mention military supplies.”

Li Shen patted his chest happily and promised.

Li Shen had just made this big deal, 150,000 yuan. Even if he didn't act against his conscience, he could still make 50,000 yuan.

"By the way, I heard that you asked Gongyi Kiln to produce three-color pottery. What is your purpose?"

Li Shen has not entered the palace for more than a month, and Li Shimin has been paying attention to this restless and rebellious son.

I'm always afraid that he might get into trouble.

"Replying to Aye, I named this three-color pottery Tang Sancai, and currently it uses animals and beauties as patterns.

The purpose is to sell it to the people of the Western Regions in exchange for gold."

"Sell it to the people of the Western Regions in exchange for gold? Do you think I know nothing?

Since ancient times, pottery has not been as valuable as porcelain.”

Li Shimin said doubtfully.

"Aye, the cost of this Tang Sancai is no less than porcelain, and its craftsmanship requires very high standards.

Gongyi Kiln also discovered and produced this rare pottery by accident.

Its value is much higher than ordinary porcelain."

Li Shen explained.

Tang Sancai was not invented by him, but he found it out from everywhere.

Li Shenke didn’t know the name of Gongyi Kiln. He only knew Yue Kiln and Xing Kiln. Because they were official kilns, the best porcelain came from these two kilns.

(Tang Sancai was recorded as a funerary object starting in 650, but it was not originally defined as a funerary object.

So it should be earlier.

Tang Sancai is not suitable as daily utensils because of its high lead content.

The burial system was popular in the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Sancai was exquisitely made and rich in colors.

It was regarded as a symbol of the status of nobility and officials, and was gradually included in the list of burial objects.

Later, it was stipulated that the number of Tang Sancai burial objects would be determined according to their grade.

Just like stockings, they were originally worn by men.

I also haven’t found out who invented Tang Sancai.
