Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Li Er opened his eyes in the Xumi room and whispered, "Duan Lun is here."

"Does His Majesty have any instructions?" Duan Lun felt a little nervous at the moment. He had not made any mistakes during this period of time, and he was seriously implementing Li Er's plan for a kang.

Li Shimin took out the method of making honeycomb coal that Zheng Zhengjin had given him from his sleeve and said to Duan Lun, "This is this kid's secret method of making honeycomb coal." He had taken a look at it before and it was very simple. As long as the ratio was converted correctly, there would be no problem at all.

"Remember not to reveal this method to anyone, otherwise I will make you pay for it. Do you understand?" Li Shimin said this. Of course, he cared very much about the secret method of honeycomb coal. It was simply turning waste into treasure, making those coals that produced a lot of smoke when burned become treasures for people all over the world in winter.

If this were stolen by people from the Five Surnames and Seven Families, it would definitely be a loss to the country.

"Your Majesty, there is actually no need for this. You can promulgate a law called the Patent Law. For example, if someone wants to use honeycomb coal to make a profit, then Your Majesty can order a fine or other punishment. This way, you can discourage some aristocratic families who covet the method of making honeycomb coal. Don't the aristocratic families also keep their methods such as papermaking tightly to themselves?" Zheng Zhengjin smiled after he finished speaking. He felt that the desirability of this method in this era was really small.

"Oh, tell me in detail?" Li Shimin became interested and wanted to hear the details.

"Your Majesty, this method is not suitable for the Tang Dynasty now, so the production method can only be kept secret by Minister Duan." Zheng Zhengjin continued: "Minister Duan, there are some coal stoves and simple tools for making honeycomb coal over there. You take the machine and the two coal stoves back. Now that we have the drawings and the real thing, Minister Duan should be able to make it."

At this moment, Duan Lun was so excited when he saw the coal stove near the carriage that he immediately trotted to the coal stove. Looking at more than ten coal stoves, he felt somewhat excited.

But when he thought about the fact that Zheng Zhengjin only asked him to take two back, he felt a little disappointed. But the Ministry of Industry was a place where dozens of pirated copies could be produced in a matter of minutes.

"Young Master is a righteous man." Duan Lun then came to Zheng Zhengjin and bowed to him.

Zheng Zhengjin said indifferently: "Okay, these are just small matters. Besides, there are many other uses for coal. I will tell you slowly."

Zheng Zhengjin directly handed over such matters that benefited the people of the country to the Ministry of Industry, such as making pork less fishy and the method of making a kang.
"Duan Lun, you should discuss this matter with Fang Xuanling. After all, he is the temporary Minister of Revenue now. As for the price, make it as cheap as possible. This is a long-term business. And you must not let the people in the court find out that I am doing this business. I have discussed it with Cheng Zhijie before, and this business will be under his name. If anyone dares to make trouble, let him personally deal with those who dare to make trouble." Li Er said seriously at this time.

Duan Lun nodded. In fact, he felt that it was a bit aggrieved for His Majesty to be the emperor. After all, if the emperor did any business, he would be competing with the people for profits. It was outrageous.

"I obey your command." Duan Lun agreed and left with the coal stove and honeycomb coal machine.

"Boy, what's your birth date? I plan to ask the Imperial Observatory to choose an auspicious day for you and Le Yan to get married." Li Shimin asked Zheng Zhengjin.

Zheng Zhengjin was stunned for a moment, then said, "I really don't know, because I don't know where part of my memory went. Besides, why bother? To me, it doesn't matter."

"What? You have a part of your memory and you don't know where it went?" Li Er asked in surprise.

Zheng Zhengjin was actually quite confused, and then he nodded: "That's true. But I don't know what's going on."

"Then I will ask Yuan Tiangang to come and discuss this with you. I still believe in his ability." Li Er sighed and asked. Zheng Zhengjin said, "That's fine. He is indeed a capable person."

Li Leyan heard the two men talking about her marriage in the pavilion. She was so embarrassed that her face turned red with shyness.
Zhangsun Wugou held Li Leyan's hand, smiled, and comforted her: "You have already reached the age of marriage, and it is only a matter of time before you get married. Why are you still shy?"

Li Leyan said coquettishly, "Mother..." Her face instantly turned red to her ears.

Changsun Wugou then burst into a chuckle.

Time passed slowly as the sun set and it was time for dinner.
Li Yuan, who was resting in the lounge next to the restaurant, also woke up.

He also came to the pavilion and saw Li Er and Zheng Zhengjin lying on the armchairs, looking extremely comfortable.

His arrival naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Jinse was very clever and brought a royal chair for Li Yuan and placed it outside the pavilion.
Li Yuan and Li Er, the father and son, surrounded Zheng Zhengjin from the left and right.
The first thing Li Yuan said was: "Good boy, your wine is really strong. My life is worth it. Such good wine and delicious food, wow."

"In fact, as long as you cultivate pork yourself, it can be cultivated very well. They are just some home-cooked dishes." Zheng Zhengjin said helplessly, and what he said was almost the truth.

"What are we having for dinner?" Li Yuan's brain circuit reaction speed is absolutely top-notch. Isn't he already concerned about what to eat?

"We'll know soon, won't we?" Zheng Zhengjin rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Actually, I'm very curious too, mainly because the food here is so delicious," Li Er was also very curious.

In fact, to put it simply, there are many more seasonings that were not available in the Tang Dynasty, and different cooking methods are used.

"Okay, don't be curious anymore. You'll be able to taste it in a while." Zheng Zhengjin said speechlessly.

At this time, Li Leyan was accompanying Empress Changsun in the pavilion, while Li Xueyan and Jinse went to Abao. The two adorable little girls snuggled up to Abao and fell asleep comfortably.

Jinse reached out and gently pinched Yuzhang's pretty face. The smooth, white and tender touch made her reluctant to let go, but she did not dare to be too presumptuous. Instead, she whispered, "Your Highness, dinner is ready."

After Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang opened their eyes, they stood up happily and said, "Okay, okay," and then turned to Abao and said, "Abao, we'll come and play with you after dinner."

Po's dark-rimmed eyes looked at the two princesses, his face full of confusion. If he could express himself, he would definitely say, "My dear little ancestor, can't you let this cat have a rest?"
