Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

Chapter 402

After opening the letter, Su Chen couldn't help but praise it at first glance:

"Beautiful, good handwriting!"

This time Su Chen was praising sincerely. Although he couldn't write well, he still had a little appreciation level.

Li Chengqian came forward and took a look, "This is written by Fang Pushe."

"I know!"

Su Chen shamelessly said this. In fact, he had never seen Fang Xuanling's calligraphy, and there was no Fang Xuanling's signature on the letter.

"Five catties of hot and sour noodles? Where can I get hot and sour noodles!"

After reading the letter, Su Chen said depressedly.

"Wang Xi, go to the warehouse to get two hundred catties of sweet potatoes, extract starch to make sweet potato noodles."

Su Chen had no choice but to compromise, mainly because Xiao Sizi and the others also liked hot and sour noodles, and by the way, he helped Li Shimin.

"Yes!"

As for the purpose of the Xuanjia Army asked in the letter, Su Chen planned to let Li Chengqian reply.

"Brother-in-law, please write a letter to His Majesty!"

Li Chengqian knew the plan of the Artifact Camp.

This time Li Chengqian did not refuse and agreed readily, "Okay, I'll go now!"

Regardless of whether Li Shimin agreed or not, Su Chen had already asked Li Ke and Xue Rengui to survey the location of the Artifact Camp military camp.

It is estimated that construction will start in a few days.

After this kang is built and the test results meet the requirements, it is just right to build a kang in the military camp, which is cold-proof and convenient.

Chang Sun Chong and Wei Shuyu are now making a kang with Su Chen. They will not leave until they see the mountain-opening artifact.

"Su Chen, when can we see the mountain-opening artifact." Wei Shuyu asked Su Chen.

"What's the hurry? Is the construction site busy? Wait for Li Tai to show you after school in the afternoon."

Su Chen answered casually and asked them to go back to Chang'an to see their family, but these two guys were unmoved and refused to leave the manor.

"Does the watch recognize it?"

After dinner yesterday, Su Chen gave each of them a watch and pure cotton thermal underwear. Su Chen also prepared the six people including Daniu, and asked Chang Sunchong and others to take them.

Chang Sunchong and Wei Shuyu nodded.

Five minutes later, Li Chengqian finished writing the letter and sent someone to deliver it to the palace.

More than half an hour later, Luo Youfu led people to mix the loess and weeds and carry them into the room.

Mixing weeds and yellow mud can prevent cracking after heating.

"Paste it on, and keep the thickness less than two inches."

This process does not require a mason, just smooth it at the end.

At this time, the flue outside has also been built, and you just need to wait for the yellow mud to dry a little.

After lunch, it will be almost ready to heat the kang.

Whether a kang is good or not mainly depends on three aspects.

First, the kang will not collapse when you sleep on it.

Second, it must be heated evenly and have good insulation effect.

Third, it must not be exposed to smoke.

Su Chen can only guarantee the first and third place at present. The heating and heat preservation will be known after trying.

"Youfu, arrange for someone to clean up, and the others will come after lunch."

"Okay, my lord!"

Recently, Luo Youfu was promoted by Su Chen to a level, equivalent to a small leader among the servants, with a monthly salary of 900 wen.

As long as he works in the manor for three years, he can build a red brick house.

If he finds a suitable woman in the future, Su Chen will find a way to help him escape from slavery and start a family.

"Brother-in-law, let's go, wash up and prepare for dinner."

Su Chen patted the dust in his hands and looked at the time. It took about three hours to turn this big kang.

…………

Li Zheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, Su Hou has replied!"

Li Shimin woke up from his lunch break and sat in the hall to drink refreshing tea. Wang Defa presented the letter he received two hours ago.

It was very unfortunate that the letter came just as Li Shimin and Empress Changsun went to bed. The old king did not dare to disturb him and could only present it after Li Shimin's lunch break.

If it was not an urgent matter, the old king would not dare to disturb Li Shimin's rest.

"Well, when did the letter arrive at the palace?" Li Shimin took the letter and asked casually.

"Your Majesty, it was delivered an hour ago when your Majesty fell asleep.

This old servant dared not disturb your Majesty's rest without authorization."

Wang Defa replied respectfully.

"Next time if you encounter that kid, you can report it at any time!" Li Shimin replied lightly and opened the letter.

"Yes!"

The old king stole a glance at Li Shimin, worried that he would be unhappy after reading Su Chen's letter and would take it out on him later.

"The Artifact Camp?"

Li Shimin frowned and thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Artifact!"

"Guanyin, I have something to discuss with the ministers, you have a good rest." Li Shimin stood up and told Empress Changsun, and quickly walked out of the palace.

Before Empress Changsun could say goodbye, Li Shimin was lucky.

"Old King, quickly summon Fang Xuanling and others to the Imperial Study to discuss matters!"

Li Shimin had roughly guessed which military branch Su Chen was talking about, the Divine Artifact Battalion.

"Yes!"

Soon, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others quickly came to the Imperial Study."Xuanling, you guys take a look at this letter first."

Without waiting for everyone to greet him, Li Shimin pointed to the reply on the desk and said.

"The Artifact Battalion?"

The letter was very short, just one sentence: 'The Xuanjia Army formed the Artifact Battalion! ', including punctuation marks, nine words.

This was written by Li Chengqian imitating Su Chen's handwriting.

"Your Majesty, could the Artifact Battalion be the Explosive Battalion?" Changsun Wuji asked tentatively.

Li Shimin nodded and smiled slightly, "Haha, Explosive Battalion? I agree with the name that bastard gave it, the Artifact Battalion is mighty and domineering!"

Changsun Wuji smiled awkwardly.

"Your Majesty, is the number of people in the Artifact Battalion too small?" Du Ruhui often stayed in the military camp and thought that the establishment of 500 people in a military branch or military camp was not in line with common sense.

Take the cavalry for example, there are at least 1,000 people.

Li Shimin thought about it secretly, and an idea came to him, "Well, Ke Ming's words make sense!"

"Hurry up and reply to that kid, add five catties of hot and sour noodles, and I will allocate another 1,000 black armor soldiers with bows and arrows to him."

Li Shimin was just bullying Su Chen for not understanding, the black armor soldiers' bows and arrows were standard equipment.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Shimin felt that he was getting a good deal. Not only did Su Chen help him establish a new army, but he also had to support 1,500 black armor soldiers.

If the Jinwu Guards and Black Armored Army before the manor were added, Su Chen's current military strength reached more than 2,300 people.

The burden is not small!

However, Li Shimin forgot that he had issued an order to the Ministry of Households before, and all the expenses of the soldiers in the manor were borne by the Ministry of Households.

Every month, the Ministry of Households would send 500 strings of cash to the manor, and there was also Empress Changsun, who would send money to Su Chen every other month.

Soon Fang Xuanling wrote a reply and had someone send it to the manor.

…

“Hahaha… this kang is perfect!”

“No smoke at all.”

The kang has been burning for almost an hour. Su Chen asked Luo Youfu to go to the village outside the manor and collect some straw to spread on the kang.

There are very few people growing rice in Chang'an, so they can only use wheat straw and thatch instead.

He also ordered people to weave straw mats according to the size of the kang. It is estimated that we can sleep on the kang tomorrow.

“Come, come and feel it. Think about what it would feel like to sleep on this kang on a cold winter night.”

Su Chen sat on the kang and waved to Li Chengqian and the others.

Everyone followed and sat on the kang straw with a try-it mentality.

Instantly felt the temperature coming from the kang.

“This method is very wonderful. If there is something else to replace the cement board. Once this method is spread out, everyone can build it.”

“No need to worry about the severe cold.”

Li Chengqian was very excited. He knew that the only thing that cost a lot in the entire construction process was the cement board with iron bars.

The amount of red bricks used is about 270, but ordinary people don't need such a big kang, so about 100 red bricks are enough.

"It doesn't have to be a cement board, you can find a stone board."

"The cement board in the middle of the kang can also be replaced by stones, and not many red bricks are needed."

Su Chen understood Li Chengqian's idea, so he provided him with a way to save money. Su Chen never considered the cost when making things for himself.

Li Chengqian nodded and planned to try it after returning to the palace in a few days.

"My Lord, the palace has replied!"

Wang Xi came to Su Chen with another letter.

Su Chen opened the letter and took a look, and handed it directly to Li Chengqian.

"I don't want it even if you kill me. Don't you have to pay for food? I can't afford it!"
