Li wrote a memorial and asked Wu Shiyu, the Minister of Works, to be his deputy. The memorial was soon approved by Li Shimin and ordered him to be his edict.

With the approval, there is another decree.

The eunuch came to pass the order.

"Mr. Li, congratulations."

"Why are you happy?"

"Your Majesty personally chose a marriage, and the decree of the marriage was given."

"Marriage?"

Li is unexplained, what kind of marriage is given?

"Your Majesty has chosen a good girl for the noble family, and she is the best choice."

Li was a little surprised. Li Shimin was too ungrateful. My son was not yet full moon. Why are you anxious? But when Li took the marriage order, he was even more surprised.

Made is mentally retarded and is simply a mess of couples.

The one who was given the eldest daughter of General Zuo Yulin, Shangzhu Kingdom and Duke Lu. Isn’t this the fool of Hou?

"Eunuch, is this decree wrong?"

"That's right, it's General Hou's daughter, the eldest daughter."

What's wrong with the eldest daughter? She is also Hou Junji's daughter. He had a quarrel with Hou Junji yesterday. Why did the emperor give the marriage decree today and give the daughter of the Hou family to the Li family?

Isn't this a mess?

"Hou Da Si, no, does General Hou know about this?"

"Of course I know. Your Majesty personally asked General Hou and then mentioned this matter. General Hou happily agreed. Then, Your Majesty issued an order to let me come and proclaim the marriage."

"Your Majesty has asked General Hou? Why didn't Your Majesty ask me?"

The eunuch Wang looked surprised.

What do you ask you? Hou Junji's eldest daughter is promised to your five-child son. What else do you want to ask? When Hou Junji came out of the palace, he looked like he wanted to find someone to fight desperately. You have taken a lot of advantage in the Hou family, okay, why are you not willing to do it?

"Hou Junji is so ugly. He is like a big horse monkey. He has a bad mind. I am worried that his daughter will be as ugly as him when she grows up, and will not be smart. When marrying a wife, you have to choose not only family background, but also people. When you say you can marry a woman as ugly as Hou Junji? How could my son be willing? Even if he gets married in a wronged way, if he doesn't have a good mind, will the family be unstable in the future? Forget it, Hou Junji's daughter, my son Li, will not be blessed to accept it."

"this?"

The eunuch Wang was stunned. If Hou Junji heard these words, it would probably be that Hou Junji would be riding a horse and carrying a spear to find Li Pian.

What do you mean by a fool? What does it mean to have a daughter with ugly looks and have a bad mind? You really dare to say that this really doesn’t leave any virtue.

With the will, the eunuch was in a dilemma.

I thought it was a reconciliation between generals and ministers, but who knew it was like this?

"Don't Li Xiangguo accept this order?"

"The daughter of the Hou family cannot get along with the Li family. Please ask the eunuch Wang to bring it back and tell your Majesty the inside story."

"All right."

The eunuch Wang no longer insisted, "It's so hot, I'll take a break here and wait for the afternoon to return to Beijing."

"Okay, it's good for me to escape the summer here. Why don't we go fishing?"

"Forget it, I don't have that kind of mind. I'll just eat a melon and drink two cups of tea from you."

"Well, that's OK, but I don't have time to entertain you."

"Li Xiangguo, you are busy, don't worry about me. You're so familiar with me, don't be polite."

Li left without hesitation.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the rice in the bathtub has begun to turn yellow. It won’t take long to start harvesting the rice.

The Li family’s threshing machine workshop has also been working overtime these days. At present, the first batch of threshing machines, one hundred iron gear machines, are almost ready and are being assembled.

These 100 machines are the order of Li’s own family. All the key components are made of iron, while other places are pine and fir. Such machines are more durable and have higher costs.

Li planned to take these machines for rent after harvesting in his own fields, and even form a few threshing teams to thresh other landlords. Anyway, those landlords also hire short-term workers to collect millet, and directly invite them to threshing classes, which will save trouble and effort and be faster.

A threshing machine is also equipped with a large bamboo tray, bamboo sieve, dustpan, etc., which is used to sifte the millet that has been shaved off. The millet just shaved off by the threshing machine will have many straw leaves, rice crumbs, etc., and these impurities must be sifted away before bagging.

The workshop is still making some windmills.

The windmill waits for the millet to dry, and then sift particles to remove the deflated particles again. The impurities that cannot be directly sifted away by these sieves pass through the windmill and use the shaking of the windmill blades to blow away the deflated particles and other magazines.

In this way, after sifting and blowing, the dried millet can be stored.

There is a busy workshop.

The blacksmith and carpenters divided the work and cooperated. There were not many masters, many apprentices, and some were ordinary farmers' helpers. However, after the splitting process, the assembly line of the threshing machine was also quite good and the efficiency was not low.

"How many orders have you received?" Li turned around and asked Carpenter Ke.

"In addition to our own 100 units, we have received orders of more than 300 units. Most of them are made of wooden and a small amount of iron."

More than 300 units? This surprised Li a little.

"We originally had a lot of rice in Guanzhong, and there were many rice planting on both sides of the Wei River. In the past two years, our rice planting has been good, which has also led many people to plant rice. Once we called out the advertisement for this threshing machine, no one came to watch it. After watching it, they all said that the machine was good and could not find short-term workers during harvesting, so many people came to order it."

"Good thing, we can offer a discount on the price. The important thing is to launch our machine and start the brand."

As long as the brand becomes famous and has a reputation, Li will plan to open branches in Jianghuai and Hetao. At that time, these factories will specialize in farm tools.

What are threshing machines, water wheels, windmills, rakes, hoes, etc.

I heard that Li refused to receive the order.

Li Shimin was furious, and Hou Junji on the other side regarded it as a great humiliation. The eldest daughter of his dignified Duke went to marry Li's concubine's son. The biological mother of the concubine's son was still a Hu Ji, which was already quite embarrassing, but Li's mother refused.

"His Majesty!"

Li Shimin said to Hou Junji, "Don't worry, I've given this marriage."

"Your Majesty, I can't stand the Li family."

Li Shimin was also very angry and personally took the initiative to give the marriage. Li dared to refuse, which was too unreasonable.

"Let's go with me to the Li family. I see if Li dares to refuse marriage in front of me."

"Your Majesty, forget it."

"No, this is not only your business, it is already my business."

Li Shimin shook his sleeves and strode ahead.
