Chapter 1702 Compensation

Empress Changsun smiled enthusiastically and said, "I have lived for more than 30 years. I have only seen oil lamps, candles, but I have never seen electric lamps. What would it look like when using electricity to illuminate? It must be very bright, right? I am really curious."

Li Zhi nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Although it was not the scene of lightning and thunder that he had expected, he was still full of curiosity. He thought about it and felt magical and exciting.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "If nothing happens, then I will take my leave and wait for it to be made. I will definitely ask the Queen to appreciate it."

Because of the great expectations before, Li Shimin felt a little disappointed, but in fact he was also full of curiosity about this electric light that had never appeared before.

"Okay, then you can go and do your business quickly. I will make the lights as soon as possible. I am also full of curiosity about the lights." Li Shimin said with a smile.

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Changle and Xiao Xier will stay here for a while, so you can go back first."

After seeing the etiquette, Su Cheng withdrew from the Lizheng Hall. Li Zhi watched Su Cheng withdrew from the hall with his feet and wished he could catch up with him.

He really wanted to go to the workshop to see how Su Cheng created lightning and how to use lightning to make lamps. This is much more interesting than listening to the Masters' lectures.

But he also knew that his father could not allow him to follow him. Who made him the crown prince and who made him inherit the Tang Dynasty in the future?

Sometimes he really wants to be the King of Jin again, so free and able to play happily.

If he was still the King of Jin before, then Su Cheng would make steamed cars and trains and he could follow him all the way, unlike now, he only went to see it with his mother once.

Not to mention that Li Zhi was regretting being the prince, Empress Changsun smiled interestingly: "It's really exciting to make lightning into a lamp."

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "It's indeed magical. How did Su Cheng think of it? He actually used lightning to illuminate it! However, magic is magical. The thing made by Su Cheng is not very useful. Isn't it good to use candles and oil lamps to illuminate it?"

Li Zhi raised his little head and said excitedly: "Why is it useless? That's an electric light, how magical. Using lightning to illuminate must be much cooler than candles and oil lamps!"

As he got along with Su Cheng, Li Zhi also learned a lot of unique words.

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Your Majesty thinks that electric lights are not very useful, but I don't think so. What is the simple thing that Boy Su has torn? This time, I think electric lights are not that simple, and maybe there are other uses."

This is true, and without asking Su Cheng's electric lights that have no other use. Li Shimin turned around and asked, "Changle, did you tell you that the electric lights that have no other use?"

Princess Changle had not spoken yet, and she was coaxing the child while watching with fun. She was no longer unfamiliar with this scene.

Hearing his father's question, Princess Changle smiled and said, "Even if it is useless, it is just used for lighting of trains, which is amazing. This means that trains can run more than just during the day and at night, and their efficiency will be doubled all at once. Isn't that important?"

Empress Changsun nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, even if it is used for lighting of trains, the train can run as usual at night, which can greatly improve efficiency and is of great effect!"

Princess Changle smiled and said, "In fact, electric lights are also very useful. I heard from the husband that if every household in Chang'an City is equipped with electric lights, they only need to generate electricity in a fixed place, and then every household in Chang'an City can be brightly lit without lighting oil lamps and candles. Isn't it very convenient?"

Queen Changsun asked in surprise: "Is this possible?"

Princess Changle nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Yes, yes, that's what Langjun said, but he also said it would be too troublesome to realize this."

Li Shimin couldn't help but lit up when he heard this. The electric light did have other uses.

"This kid is good at everything, but he is too lazy! What are you afraid of when you are troublesome? Isn't it troublesome to build a railway? Do you give up because of trouble?" Li Shimin coughed dryly and said hurriedly.

Princess Changle smiled and said, "Didn't my father just say that the lights are of little use?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Li Shimin's face and smiled and said, "There has never been a thing of electric light in this world, and no one knows it. It is normal that I don't know how useful it is."

Empress Changsun picked up the booklet at hand and smiled and changed the topic: "Isn't Your Majesty curious about the sincerity of the people from the aristocratic families going to find Su Cheng? This is the sincerity of the aristocratic families. Don't Your Majesty want to see it?"

The sincerity that the aristocratic family brought out was this booklet? Li Shimin suddenly felt energetic and smiled and said, "I'll take a look, I'll see what sincerity that the five surnames and seven hopes showed."

After taking the booklet, Li Shimin immediately opened it and read it carefully with curiosity.

Then, looking at Li Shimin's face slowly changed.

Because the booklet is so tempting.

Especially if you nod your head, you can get these things immediately, which makes people feel even more tempting, and what you pay is just a drawing of a steam car.

After reading it, even as Emperor Tang, Li Shimin couldn't help but be shocked: "These aristocratic families are really expensive, and they actually showed such great sincerity."

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Don't say it, I'm very moved after reading it. I really want to change the manufacturing drawings of steamed cars with the aristocratic families."

Princess Changle also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, this sincerity is so great, so touching."

Before, Li Shimin thought that Su Cheng would not be moved by the small favors of the aristocratic family, but now it seems that this is not a small favor?

So, Su Cheng wouldn’t really be unable to withstand the temptation in the end, right?

Li Shimin coughed dryly and pondered: "The leaders of those aristocratic families are all savvy. Are they willing to suffer losses? The reason why they show such great sincerity is to put it bluntly because they want to gain greater benefits, so they must not obey their words."

Princess Changle smiled and said, "Yes, what the father said makes sense, but the great clans have come with such great sincerity. Dad, will you compensate us?"

Indeed, Su Cheng refused to do so much sincerity. If it was not appropriate to compensate, Li Shimin pondered: "Didn't I allow Su Cheng to build a railway from Chang'an to Luoyang? How else should I compensate?"

It’s not that Li Shimin didn’t want to make compensation, but that he became timid after reading this booklet. What compensation should he get? Could it be that he sold him as the emperor?
