The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 988 Shengtang Group has more than a little bit
Let's say that Dai Zhou took the briquette mold to the Daming Palace.

This time, he took the method mentioned to Li Yin just now.

But when he arrived, Li Shimin was not on the top floor.

Then, he found Li Shimin in the back garden.

As for Li Shimin here, it's Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang, Concubine Wang and other concubines, as well as princes and princesses.

They are enjoying the snow scene in the back garden.

There is nothing to see this winter, only the white snow, a thick layer, dotted with some red fruits, and things like lanterns, which were built before.

There are also a few dead old trees, which are a scene of their own.

Some little princes and little princesses are having a snowball fight in the snow.

This is their rare happy time.

Because in normal times, it is basically impossible to spend family time with Li Shimin and others.

Just take advantage of this time, everyone have fun.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

When Dai Zhou arrived in the back garden, he saluted Li Shimin.

"Oh, it's Dai Zhou! Come, come, sit down and have a drink with me."

Li Shimin was very excited.

He raised his glass.

He even forgot what he asked Dai Zhou to do in the tenement building yesterday.

"Yes!"

But at the same time, when he called Dai Zhou over, he saw the mold in Dai Zhou's hand, and he couldn't help being a little shocked.

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang also saw it
Some of the concubines began to worry.

This thing looks like a weapon, but I didn't expect it to be brought into the back garden. What does this Dai Zhou want to do?
Li Shimin also looked at him with some vigilance.

Dai Zhou seemed to sense something was wrong.

He stopped there motionless.

Until Empress Changsun asked: "Dai Zhou, what is this thing? Why is it so strange? It looks like a precious sword!"

"Baojian doesn't even have such a big head!"

Concubine Yang also followed to see why there was a big cylinder in front of this thing.

The rear pole is slender.

As for the other concubines, they chirped over.

These people are discussing in a hurry.

No one was used as a murder weapon.

Someone said: Is this a new type of weapon?

Some people say that [-]% is a toy.

When the princes and princesses heard about the toy, they rushed over and tried to take the mold from Dai Zhou's hand.

Dai Zhou was so scared that he shouted repeatedly: "Prince, princesses, don't! Don't! This thing is too dirty."

The thing in his hand was indeed a little dirty, a black piece.

This black is particularly conspicuous against the white background.

"Bring it to me to see!"

Li Shimin finally confirmed that this thing is not a bad thing.

So, go forward and reach out your hand.

Dai Zhou offered the mold with both hands.

"What is this?"

Li Shimin looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see why.

So what is this?
Why haven't I seen it myself.

Suddenly, he thought of the matter that he asked Dai Zhou to find Li Yin yesterday. Was it because of that that Dai Zhou came back?

It doesn't look like it either.

So he put the mold aside.

"It's almost noon. You didn't look for him, but you brought these things here. What are they for? Take them away!"

It was obvious that he was a little upset.

"Your Majesty, this thing was given to me by the sixth prince!"

When Li Shimin heard that it was given by Li Yin, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Others also came together.

"Oh? He gave it to you? Why did he give you this?"

Everyone fell silent, they wanted to hear what Dai Zhou had to say.

At the same time, everyone is very curious about this thing.

Only then did Dai Zhou say: "This thing is the key to Shengtang Group's heating in winter."

"The key to heating in winter? Tell me what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, this thing can turn coal into an existence called briquette."

"Honeycomb?"

Everyone was puzzled.

What it is?
Dai Zhou quickly explained the meaning of briquettes.

Then he said: "The briquettes also contain some clay. These clays can prolong the burning time of the briquettes. Thereby reducing the demand for coal for the briquettes.  …"

Dai Zhou talked a lot.

Everyone seems to understand.

He also talked about the principle of the boiler.

And Shengtang Group's advanced mining equipment, and so on.

After all, it can be said that Shengtang Group's heating cost is less than 1/10 of that of the imperial court, or even less.

Then, Dai Zhou turned the topic to the briquette mold.

"And the key to all this lies in this mold. It is it that can convert coal into briquettes!"

"I've heard you say so much, but I haven't seen what briquettes look like. You should get a piece out and have a look!"

Li Shimin returned the mold to him.

Dai Zhou was depressed, and there was no coal for him now.

It would be too long to fetch coal.

Li Shimin has long been disinterested.

At the same time he looked around, trying to find some dirt, maybe he could use mud to get it.

But he failed, and there was snow everywhere.

Snow……

Then he had an idea.

Take the mold and press it into the snowdrift.

Then he mentioned it and directly made a big hole in the snow.

Everyone thought he was crazy when they saw him so, but the next moment everyone found that this guy was really interesting.

I saw Dai Zhou put the mold on the ground and pressed on it.

A white briquette-like snow block appeared.

Everyone exclaimed, it turned out that this thing was played like this.

Those princes and princesses snatched the mold, and they had a great time playing.

As for Li Shimin looking at this mold, he looked a little funny.

Now he wants to play too.

So, he walked to the side of the prince.

"Bring it!"

How dare these princes defy?
Although they were unwilling in their hearts, how could they dare to disobey Li Shimin?

Had to give the mold to Li Shimin.

Then Li Shimin did some shocking things, only to see that he pressed the mold into the snow...

He played by himself.

This made everyone look at him in embarrassment.

Not only playing, but also calling directly.

"Good good!"

This guy played for like five or six minutes.

He picked up the mold and said, "Dai Zhou, let someone make a hundred more, and do you have the formula for the briquette?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince said that honeycomb briquettes should be used throughout Chang'an and even the entire Tang Dynasty! So the formula will not be a secret!"

"Okay, I'll leave the room temperature to you!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! That minister will operate now!"

"Go!"

With Dai Zhou's departure.

Empress Changsun followed.

"It seems that from now on, the eunuchs and maids in the palace will no longer be afraid of the cold!"

"Yes! That's fine, I didn't expect him to have such a thing!"

Concubine Yang said:
"There are still many things in Min'er, but His Majesty just didn't pay attention to them!"

"That's right, I don't care too much about the Shengtang Group! Later, let people go to the Shengtang Group to see what the court needs, and then buy more with the Shengtang Group."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Okay, let's continue playing! It's rare that I'm in a good mood today!"
