Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

"Do you have anything else to say?" Li Chengqian turned around and asked.

Li Shimin gnashed his teeth and said, "Can't I talk to my son if nothing happens?"

"I don't have the time. There is still a lot of knowledge that needs to be sorted out and verified."

Li Shimin was shocked: "More! What knowledge did Shennong give you?"

Li Chengqian gestured with his fingers: "Farming, gunpowder, wine making, sugar making, ice making, glass making, soap making, and military training. There are so many things to talk about that I can't finish talking about them all at once."

"Shennong can also train troops!" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"Is this strange? He is an immortal, he has more time and knows more. Isn't this normal?"

Li Shimin also stood up and said, "Come on, I'll go with you."

Li Chengqian came here for this purpose.

There are some things that are difficult for him, a prince, to do without the emperor's order.

Look, the emperor took the bait.

When he arrived at the East Palace, Li Shimin found that Crown Princess Su was still copying books by lamplight.

Sleeping next to him were his two grandsons, Li Xiang and Li Jue.

The two little kids curled up beside their mother and slept soundly.

"How can you be a father and a husband? You even let your pregnant wife copy books late at night!!" Li Shimin asked in a low voice.

Su quickly stood up and said, "Father, I was afraid of forgetting, so I copied it down overnight."

"forget!!"

Li Shimin stepped forward and picked up some manuscripts, which contained some medical knowledge.

"Were these also taught by Shennong?"

Su nodded and said, "Yes, the old man Shennong only tapped my forehead with his finger and passed on all this knowledge. I was afraid that I would forget it after a long time, so I wrote it down now while I still remember it clearly."

"A little on the forehead!! Is this a sudden enlightenment?"

Li Shimin was even more shocked, and turned to look at Li Chengqian: "You have also been enlightened?"

Li Chengqian nodded: "And Duke Wei and Duke Chen, as long as they can read, have all been enlightened."

"There is no such thing as Duke Chen. Hou Junji is now a commoner."

Li Chengqian didn't bother to pay attention to him. He leaned over to pick up the young Li Jue and gently kicked Li Xiang: "Get up and go to sleep inside."

Li Xiang rubbed his sleepy eyes and followed his father into the inner room in a daze, not even noticing that his grandfather was there.

Seeing this, Li Shimin opened his mouth but said nothing. He sat opposite Su and picked up a stack of manuscripts to read.

Not long after, Li Chengqian also came out.

The family of three sat together. Li Chengqian and his wife continued to copy, while Li Shimin was responsible for classification and summarization.

Late at night, Li Chengqian carried Su, who was sleeping on the table, to the inner room to sleep.

After coming out, he went outside and lit a cigarette.

Li Shimin also followed out.

"Do you want it?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Okay, give me one too."

Although Li Shimin still couldn't accept cigarettes, he no longer coughed.

The father and son sat in the night, smoking and looking up at the stars.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian's profile and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Kill Li Tai."

Li Shimin rolled his eyes at him and simply ignored the three words "kill Li Tai".

Because at noon, he personally came to the Prince of Wei's palace and severely criticized Li Tai.

He was also confined to his house for a month, and an order was issued that no one was allowed to seek an audience with Li Tai.

He felt that with his attitude and the one-month confinement, those noble families would no longer look favorably upon Li Tai.

In other words, Li Chengqian's plan to secretly encourage the aristocratic families to cooperate with Li Tai will most likely fail.

However, Li Shimin still underestimated the people's hearts, or he was deliberately avoiding thinking about the bad side.

But he himself didn't even think about how he became the emperor.

As the saying goes, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. Now the Crown Prince and the King of Wei are at loggerheads with each other. Can this matter be resolved so easily?

Li Shimin continued to ask: "I am asking how you plan to arrange this knowledge."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said, "Do you want me to arrange it myself or just give it to you?"

"What's the difference?" Li Shimin asked.

"There's a huge difference. If you let me arrange it, you have to allocate funds, and you can't interfere. I have full authority."

"It would be best if you, the emperor, were in charge. It would save me the trouble."

Li Shimin pointed at him and said, "Except for the training of the troops, everything else is left to you to handle. Is that ok?"

Li Chengqian exhaled a puff of smoke: "I don't care, then you can allocate the funds tomorrow!"

"How much do you need?"

"For the time being, let's take 5 million guan first. If it's not enough, we can add more later."

Li Shimin's eyes widened: "Five million strings of cash! It's not enough to make up for it. Do you know how much the annual fiscal revenue of the Tang Dynasty is?"

"I know. About thirty million guan."

"Then you are asking for too much."

Li Chengqian threw away the cigarette butt: "Then I don't care, you can do it yourself!"

"No, you are the prince, and you brought this knowledge back with you. You can't just sit there and do nothing."

Li Chengqian was a little annoyed: "Look at you, an emperor who is so stingy, what great things can he accomplish? Can you please give me some advice and stop talking nonsense?"

"you!!"

Li Shimin stood up and said, "I can only give you two million strings of cash at most. Otherwise, the Ministry of Revenue will be short of so much money and won't be able to support itself."

Li Chengqian also took a step back: "Okay, two million is two million. Anyway, if the money is not enough, I will stop researching some things. Just don't blame me."

"You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until you run a household..."

As he said that, Li Shimin changed the subject and said, "We'll see when the time comes. I'll try my best to adjust it."

Li Chengqian stood up: "Got it, go back and rest!"

Li Shimin shook his head: "Let's continue. I also want to see what other knowledge I haven't seen yet..."

Until dawn outside, the father and son were still immersed in the ocean of knowledge and unable to extricate themselves.

"This "Militia Military Training Manual", "Friends of Military and Civilian Dual-Use Talents" and "Barefoot Doctor Manual" can be said to be a culmination of masterpieces, and can be called a divine book. It is worthy of being the knowledge summarized by an immortal."

Li Shimin stretched lazily, and completely believed in the identity of the immortal Shennong.

Li Chengqian thought, this is still a castrated version. If it is complete, it even contains knowledge on how to survive after a nuclear war. That would be a real divine book.

As the sky gradually brightened, the eunuchs from the East Palace hurriedly brought tea for the two masters to rinse their mouths.

The manuscripts have been sorted out and placed in neat piles.

After the two of them had breakfast together again, Li Shimin still had no intention of leaving, which made Li Chengqian annoyed.

Helpless, he could only start the gunpowder experiment in front of the emperor.

Gunpowder had already appeared during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, but at that time it was just a by-product accidentally produced by alchemists.

It has not yet been shown to be effective in the military...
