The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 680
Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, even though Li Shimin was prepared, he was still taken aback, and when Empress Changsun mentioned that the cost was less than five consistent, His Majesty suddenly lost interest to the point where he didn't even have the desire to beat someone up Degree.

That kind of feeling is like when you find that your friend is a little funny, and you will try to save him, but when you find that he has not changed after repeated admonition and is already incurable, you will lose the desire to save him.

Seeing that her old man was silent, Empress Changsun couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "Your Majesty, it won't work if you continue like this. It's more than 800 coins. What is Xiaoyao planning to do? What's the use of him asking for so much money? You won't let it go." Don't you care?"

"Let him go." Li Shimin sighed, and said helplessly: "Even if I want to take care of it, what can I do, if the boy is not prepared, he probably wouldn't dare to quote such a high price."

Helpless emotions filled the couple of the biggest landlords and their wives in the Tang Dynasty. Although Li Er said that he didn't want to care about it, his curiosity overcame his reason in the end, and he said, "But we can't let this matter go like this." , When we are free tomorrow, let’s go to that kid’s house to have a look.”

Empress Changsun had no objection to this, she stood up and said, "The concubine will go and make arrangements."

"Well, you go." Li Er said in a daze, then he seemed to think of something, and called Empress Changsun: "Guanyin servant girl, where are those mirrors? Where did you put them?"

Empress Changsun knew that the old man was afraid of being biased, and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already arranged for someone to send it to the other younger sisters, and my father also sent two sides to it."

Li Er nodded with relief: "Oh, that's good, that's good."

Only the couple and the little girl in Changle knew that the actual value of this thing was less than [-]%, but the rest of the palace did not know. Li Er didn't want to make trouble in the palace because of so much money.

In the morning of the next day, His Majesty the Emperor, the Empress, the Crown Prince, and a group of important court officials entered the Xiaoyao Palace in a mighty manner, which shocked Chang'an and shocked all the officials.

On the first day of the new year, it was supposed to be the time when the courtiers paid New Year greetings to the emperor, but instead of waiting in the palace, the emperor went to the house of King Xiaoyao. There are no words to describe it.

Compared to the countless envious and jealous guys in Chang'an City, Li Muyun was almost on the verge of crying.

Last night, I was pestered by a group of old people until almost dawn before I was able to go home. As a result, before I got home and had a good sleep, the emperor brought a group of people to the door, which made people live.

And these guys come as soon as they come, but one or two of Mao are so fucking like a house raid, and even have to look at the toilet at home, isn't this too much.

Li Muyun was by Li Er's side, watching the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty running around in the yard, with black lines all over their foreheads.

Li Er looked a little funny on the sidelines, and was about to say a few words to him, but his attention was attracted by something. Reflexively, he suddenly grabbed Li Muyun, and shouted angrily: "You, you actually put Liuli Are they all framed on the windows?"

Li Muyun only felt that his wrist was clamped by a pair of iron tongs. Looking at Li Er who was about to go berserk, his face was twitching like a bun, and he tried to pull his hand back while explaining: "Brother Huang, that is not glass, it is glass. ,It is worthless."

Empress Changsun, who was following Li Er, glared at Li Muyun: "Even if it's cheap, that piece is worth a few hundred cash, you, you actually got it on the window just like that."

Facing the gazes of the Emperor and Empress who were about to kill someone, Li Muyun seemed to have thought of something, and said with an idea: "Brother Emperor, Sister-in-Law, I also want to give you a surprise. All the windows in the palace were replaced like this, but I didn't expect that you two would have discovered it in advance."

Facts have proved that Li Muyun's conjecture was completely correct. After hearing that all the windows in Tai Chi Palace had been replaced with glass, Li Er instantly turned from furious to amiable, patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Well, fine, but don't wait What after the new year, let's do it tomorrow!"

"Hey!" Li Muyun shrank his neck like a dog, and then heard Empress Changsun's voice: "Xiaoyun, don't forget that there is also the Daming Palace that Longshouyuan was building."

Li Muyun blinked his eyes speechlessly, a little powerless to complain, it was just a few pieces of glass, as for what, the two in front of him were the top nobles in the Tang Dynasty, why are they so rich.

After turning his attention away from the bright window, His Majesty the Great Emperor immediately noticed an iron guy with a strange shape and a height of about three feet not far away: "Hey, what is that thing?"

Li Muyun didn't dare to neglect, and quickly explained: "Oh, that's called a water press, and its main function is to pump out groundwater."

Li Shimin suddenly realized that he hadn't been to Li Muyun's house for a few months, and this guy's house already had a lot of novelty things. Out of curiosity, he couldn't help asking: "Take it out? How?"

Li Muyun winked at Lao Xia, who was trembling with fright, following behind him. Not long after, someone brought a basin of water, and poured water into that strange-looking thing in front of Li Er and Empress Changsun. Inside, then grabbed a handle on the top and pressed it hard.

Gudu, gudu, after a while, gusts of clear water came out of it, and after a while, the water flow began to become continuous, and gradually more and more, and a large puddle of water flowed on many grounds.

Li Er and the eldest grandson looked a little dull at this time, and Li Chengqian, who had been unable to intervene, muttered in a strange way: "This... is there a cornucopia buried under it?"

The legendary cornucopia can put a treasure in it, and then take out the same things from it continuously, and the water press machine mentioned by Li Muyun seems to be like this, just pour some water, and then there will be a steady stream of water from the inside Flowing out, this seems to be similar to the legend of the cornucopia.

Li Muyun wished he could strangle Li Chengqian's big mouth to death, but he really didn't have the guts to meet the malicious gazes of Li Er and his eldest grandson, so he could only sigh and said, "This is to use the principle of vacuum to pump ground water The biggest advantage of using it out is that it saves manpower, and the second is that you don’t have to worry about others poisoning the water source, which has nothing to do with the cornucopia.”

Li Muyun had just finished speaking, and before Li Er could speak, Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere, and yelled carelessly, "Hey, you kid is lying, it's not a cornucopia, how could you pour some water in and then come out So much, don’t think that I, Old Cheng, have bad eyesight, I’ve been staring at what that servant did just now.”

Li Muyun's forehead was about to sweat, he jumped and shouted: "No, Uncle Cheng, you have to be kind, you can't cheat people like this!"

"Tricking people? Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that my old Cheng is the most honest man, when did he cheat people!" Cheng Yaojin shook his head, proudly showing off to a group of veterans who came around, causing boos.

But at this time, it doesn't matter what he said. The people who followed Li Er have all been attracted by the word cornucopia, pointing around the water press, and finally agreed that there is a cornucopia buried under it. .

Li Muyun was really on the verge of crying at this moment, he cupped his hands repeatedly and said, "Everyone, everyone, there is really a well down there, if you don't believe me, I will install one for each of Xiaowang's house someday, will it work?!"

But no matter how Li Muyun explained it, Cheng Yaojin seems to have recognized that he has a cornucopia: "Each family has one? Do you have so many cornucopias?"

"It's not a cornucopia, it's science, do you understand science?" Li Muyun was really anxious now, jumping up and down and shouting.

"I don't believe it." Lao Cheng curled his lips and shook his head with a look of disdain.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Li Muyun simply didn't explain, and said in a broken jar, "Forget it if you don't believe me, anyway, I don't have a cornucopia."

Li Er stared at Li Muyun for a long time, thinking that what he said should be true, he coughed and summed up the 'cornucopia matter': "Forget it, whether there is one or not, I will install one for the palace later."

It's just that Cheng Yaojin still seemed a little unwilling to give up. After walking around the water press twice, he suddenly slapped his thigh hard and said, "My old Cheng has a way to prove whether this kid is lying."

Someone booed from the side: "What way? Let's hear it."

Cheng Yaojin tilted his head proudly, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, throw two strings of copper coins into it, if you can suck out the silver, then it will be a cornucopia buried underneath."

Li Muyun's complexion changed, and he stopped immediately: "No, that's absolutely not possible."

"Hey, kid, let's show you!" Cheng Yaojin squeezed Li Muyun with a smirk on his face, and then collected a lot of things from a group of old people who feared that the world would not be chaotic, such as copper coins, silver, and broken gold, gemstone ring.

Li Muyun saw that Cheng Yaojin was about to stuff things in, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Hey, this is absolutely impossible, it's a pressurized water machine, not a cornucopia at all."

"Why not, isn't it just a try?"

"No, no, no, what if these things are stuffed in and can't come out, then I will demolish my well."

"If you can't get out, you can't get out. Who wants to tear down your well." Cheng Yaojin didn't realize what Li Muyun was talking about, and the rest of the veterans gathered around and nodded.

As the saying goes, money touches people's hearts, although intellectually these old guys don't believe that there is such a thing as a cornucopia, but what if it is true.

Therefore, Cheng Laohuo completely disregarded Li Muyun's stop, opened the cover of the water press, and stuffed all the collected things into it.

Then, unsurprisingly, the pressurized water machine... was blocked.
