It’s no wonder that Pu Xiliang couldn’t think of the water wheels being driven by hydraulic power. Before this, there was never any tool driven by hydraulic power. Moreover, Pu Xiliang was only a carpenter and entered the craftsmanship industry since he was sensible. It relied on the skills passed down from his parents’ words. Yu Shuili is an absolute layman, and many children in later generations understand common sense. For people in the Tang Dynasty, it was a magical fantasy.

In the Zichen Hall, Li Shimin leaned on the dragon bed and narrowed his eyes: "So, Pu Xiliang exchanged a water truck that could draw water automatically with just one piece of topaz?"

"Yes. Pu Xiliang had already prepared a restaurant, but Wang Erlang didn't want it." Li Yesi, who was standing at the stairs, answered. When answering this question, he was open and honest. He did report what he saw truthfully without adding any water. As for what he thought in his heart, you didn't let someone report, it seemed that there was no need.

"Well, this is a bit inconsistent with Wang Erlang's wealthy temperament. What do you think?" Just a piece of topaz with a fist can do? The most carved ring pendant is only 3,000 guan at most. It is said that no one can recognize this piece of topaz, so the value will definitely be greatly reduced. Jade is white as the best, followed by varied colors. A piece of mutton fat white jade as the size of a fist can be easily obtained for only 3,000 guan. For the royal family, such a small jade is basically just a direct look.

"I think this is in line with Wang Erlang's nature. When he was in Jian'an, he taught Jian'an residents to cook snacks for free to make a living. Now Jian'an snacks are spread all over the country. Even in the East City today, a Jian'an snack has been opened. The people of Jian'an are very grateful to Wang Erlang. Moreover, I followed Wang Erlang all the way from Jian'an to Chang'an, and everything he did was not disturbing the local people's livelihood. Even if he buried a pot and made rice in the wilderness, he chose the wilderness and away from the farmland.

For crops, you should choose a place with no dead grass and dead trees around you. When setting up the camp, you also asked to put out the open fire, saying that it was because you were afraid of causing wildfires and causing trouble to the people. Therefore, I think that Wang Erlang is not concerned about the rewards for any matter that is beneficial to people's livelihood. It is said that when someone comes to Jian'an Fu's inn, as long as someone is willing to pay a little money, he can learn cooking skills in the inn. It is not like other chefs who cherish secret skills. I heard that this rule was also set by Wang Erlang."

"I don't mean to blame Wang Erlang, are you so eager to excuse Wang Erlang?" Seeing that he only asked one question, Li Yesi answered a lot. Li Shimin glanced at him in a playful way and teased.

Li Yesi didn't answer, and he didn't need to answer. The emperor knew that he had a good relationship with Erlang now, but he still assigned him this task. He must have considered it a long time ago. If he didn't excuse Wang Erlang, it wouldn't be Li Yesi. What's more, what he said was true, without any exaggeration, and there was nothing to explain. If the emperor didn't believe it, he would naturally inquire about it and there was no need to explain it himself.

"Well! That's true. First, there is the General Cabinet, and then the Sweet Potatoes. The General Cabinet can keep the local treasury account safe. Although the Sweet Potatoes cannot replace food, it is good that they do not occupy farmland and can be planted everywhere. They can be responded to emergency during the famine. This Xiao Erlang is really interesting, but he doesn't take the initiative to offer the water truck, which is a bit abominable." Li Shimin asked and answered himself. After he looked up and asked the eunuch who was serving: "Has Pu Xiliang's water truck been built?"

"When I returned to the emperor, Pu Jiancheng got the water truck, he imitated it within three days, but the water truck could not turn it to draw water by itself. Yesterday, Pu Jiancheng took the imitated water truck to the Lin Mansion. He smiled when he came out, probably because he had already solved the doubts. Today, Pu Jiancheng closed the door to thank the guests, and was asking for trouble. He was fiddling with the water truck."

"Since that's the case, it's okay for Wang Erlang to collect a piece of yellow jade as a reward for helping Pu Xiliang get a great contribution. In my opinion, this piece of yellow jade is too small. Yesi, go to the inner treasury to find Xu Guoxu's required utensils to Wang Erlang. Needless to say, it was my reward, well, just say it was the queen. Why are you doing so in a daze? Why don't you go quickly?"

"Your Majesty, you haven't shown what kind of artifacts you have taken yet." Li Yesi was stunned.

"Don't think I don't know that the foodie Xu Guoxu is as good as a brother to Wang Erlang now. If I say I'll choose a jade piece, he will definitely choose the best one. Well, let's choose it. As long as it's not the queen's favorite thing, it's okay. Let's go, wait, you can't send calligraphy and paintings." Li Shimin felt sorry for a few calligraphy and paintings, especially the "Lanting Preface", which took a lot of effort to "scam" it. For this, Old Man Wei gave seven advice, which made him unable to live in peace for several months. Every time it was Old Man Wei's turn to speak, he would have to stop hiding from him. It would not be a waste of money for the Wang family. If he didn't explain it himself, the foodie Xu Guoxu might be able to send it out.

He was really guessing for Li Lao Er. When Li Yesi took his order to find Xu Guoxu, when Xu Guoxu heard the first half that he was choosing something for Erlang, he glanced at the "Lanting Preface" hanging on the wall of the side of the library, which was covered with a veil. When he heard the second half that he said that calligraphy and paintings could not be given, he turned his eyes away. Finally, Xu Guoxu picked up this and picked that one, picked it up and picked it up, and picked it for nearly an hour. Then he chose something, wrapped it in satin and handed it to Li Yesi.

"Give this?" Li Yesi was a little annoyed. Fortunately, the emperor just said that you favored Wang Erlang. Why did he choose only such a thing?

"Well, it's right to send this. Let's go, I will definitely guarantee that Erlang will be happy." Xu Guoxu glared at Li Yesi in anger. He had worked hard to choose for a long time. It would be fine if you stood by and didn't come to help, but he also questioned the eyesight of a certain family. Your Li family boy has a good relationship with Erlang. Could it be that a certain family has a gap with Erlang?

"Is this what foodie Xu picked?" When Li Yesi brought the satin bag to find Wang Kuang, Cheng Chumo came to eat again. Now the cooking in Cheng's mansion is actually not worse than that in Lin's mansion. Moreover, Wang Kuang doesn't cook often now. He just occasionally thinks of a dish, so he goes to the kitchen to tinker with it. When he learns it in the kitchen, he will leave his hands alone again. But Cheng Chumo just likes to come to Lin's mansion to eat. In the words of Yuchi Baolin, it is free and free. The old man in the family is in front of him, so he can only look at him without saying a word, sit upright, and feel extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, every now and then, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin seem to have made an appointment, and they will basically appear in Lin's mansion before the meal.

Today, Cheng Chumo actually sent melon seeds to Wang Kuang. He only found a family member to go to the imperial village to tell Xiao Si, saying that Wang Erlang wanted to get some melon seeds. Xiao Si went to the field without saying a word and saw that the melons were growing well this year and were about to mature. So he took out all the seeds left in the stub, with a total of hundreds of them.

"It was the foodie who picked it. Someone said something, but he even disliked someone's long-windedness." Li Yesi was not angry. You foodie Xu, you are useless. Erlang made so much food for you along the way from Jian'an, but he only picked such things. He was so angry that his family was so angry. Therefore, when he saw Cheng Chumo's slightly disdainful look, he added, and he took advantage of the situation and took the blame.

"Erlang, next time the foodie comes, don't give him a good look. When a family sees him, they must teach him a lesson. It's really annoying."

"This thing is good." Wang Kuang took it and his eyes lit up. No, this thing is good. What's wrong with the past few days? He was touched by a good material. It was still Xu Guoxu, a kid, who knew his thoughts.

"Just like this broken cup? Not bad?" Cheng Chumo Daqi said, "Look, it looks like jade but not jade, it is grayish-white. Someone seems to have used slightly better stone carvings. How much does it want for such a cup Erlang? Someone will deliver it to you tomorrow."

"You really want to be honest? Can't you regret it?" Wang Kuang joked. This cup is definitely priceless. Although it cannot be compared with the Tianhuang frozen a few days ago, its preciousness is that the amount of materials is much smaller than Tianhuang frozen, otherwise there would not be only a longan-sized bead left in future generations.

"Uh, someone said that a cup of this color." Cheng Chumo was blocked by Wang Kuang and quickly changed his words. Could it be that there is something strange about this cup? If that is the case, it would be better not to open the sea mouth.

You know what you know, Wang Kuang gave the little devil a blank look, carefully held the cup, asked the servants of the Lin family to close the doors and windows, and found a thick piece of felt to cover his head, and looked at it.

Once the doors and windows were closed, and the cup was covered with a cover on its head, the cup emitted a faint green light. This was a luminous cup, not a luminous cup made of fluorescent stone in later generations, nor was it the luminous cup with green spots that appeared in the Tianshui area. The light emitted by this cup is much stronger than the two, and even this light is so strong that it can be used to study.
