Datang Hotel: The Leisurely Life of a Chef Dad

There have never been fewer miracles in this land of Lantian.

It's snowing in Chang'an, but no snow has fallen here. It's not that there is no snow to fall. The main reason is that the snow in the sky today is too light. Before it falls, it is swept by a gust of north wind and disappears in mid-air in an instant.

Li Shimin stood on the land of Lantian, looking at the huge black place on the flat plain, as if he was living in a dream.

"When did Lantian have such a huge thing?"

This is Lantian Liuxuan's factory. It started out as some home-made iron-making furnaces. In just a few months, it has grown to a large scale. Now it looks like a giant beast lurking in Lantian.

"Your Majesty, this local minister has been here before. It is the factory mentioned by Liu Xuan, the Marquis of Lantian. Since you enthroned the Marquis of Lantian, he has called the common people and recruited workers here."

Li Shimin asked: "What do the people here do?"

Li Shimin knew about this, but specifically what Liu Xuan was used for, Li Shimin only knew about Liuli.

Is there something else?

"It's better to go to Lantian County and find out once you ask."

Li Shimin didn't nod or refuse, but the next moment, he walked straight out of the factory.

The long team is like an earth dragon, which is extremely eye-catching on the snowy Lantian land.

There are so many people outside the factory, and judging by their clothes, they don't look like poor people. Could it be that they are here to work?

Li Shimin was puzzled. As he walked past the team, someone suddenly spoke.

"Why are you cutting in line?"

"Master Jun, someone jumped in line! I'll report it!"

When Li Shimin heard the word "jumping in line," he suddenly felt unhappy. Why did everyone say that I jumped in line?

After taking a look at the person who stretched out his hand to report him, Li Shimin didn't pay much attention. After a while, he saw a familiar face.

Isn't that Zhao Dayou of Jinwu Guard?

Zhao Dayou was on duty at the factory today and was taking a nap. There was no shortage of him in the entire factory, including those who collected money, those who loaded goods, those who waited, and those who watched. He came here just to watch.

At this moment, Zhao Dayou suddenly saw that familiar and majestic face, and Zhao Dayou shivered instinctively.

This was the first reaction among the soldiers when they saw Li Shimin. It wasn't that Zhao Dayou had poor mental quality, it was mainly because Li Shimin was too strong.

The murderous aura brought about by years of conquests, coupled with the domineering aura blessed by the emperor's status after ascending the throne, will make anyone's heart tremble when they see it for the first time.

Not to mention that it’s normal for a mere Jinwuwei to have weak legs.

If ordinary people see Li Shimin in casual clothes, they will inevitably feel a little weak in their hearts, and their legs and feet will feel sore. Knowing his identity, it will be even worse.

After Zhao Dayou carefully identified it, his heart beat fiercely and he trotted over.

"Zhao Dayou has seen..." Halfway through the salute, Li Shimin stopped him.

"No formalities, don't be restrained, just like at Lantian Marquis Mansion."

Zhao Dayou was astonished. In the Lantian Marquis Mansion, there were military orders. His Majesty was Lao Li in the Lantian Marquis Mansion, but here...

"Did you hear that?" Li Shimin emphasized.

Zhao Dayou raised his hand: "Yes!"

Seeing Zhao Dayou, Li Shimin felt relieved. It seems that today

I was wandering around in there and someone was leading the way.

He also wanted to know what Liu Xuan was up to, and why Liuli had cut its price to such a level in just a short period of time.

Why did Liu Xuan dare to risk the disapproval of the world and sell a book for twenty cents?

"Lead the way, I want to go inside and have a look..."

When Zhao Da heard this, he immediately stood up and walked in front: "Master, look here, this is the only factory in the Tang Dynasty, built by Lantian Hou Liuxuan..."

This is a standard saying that Liu Xuan personally urged every guard to memorize. If there are some big shots coming to take a look, he will take them around, say some polite words, and scare these guys who have never seen the world.

It sounds like some guide words, but in the era of the Tang Dynasty, it was very shocking to say one, two or three.

When Li Shimin heard Zhao Dayou's standard Mandarin with a slight accent, the worried look on his face gradually relaxed, and his pace quickened a lot.

"Lantian Factory" was personally defined by the Marquis of Lantian. It means that craftsmen are the key to the development of a country's strength. Respecting craftsmen and allowing craftsmen to freely use their imagination and creativity are the principles of Lantian Factory and the great mission of the people of the Tang Dynasty. The continuation of Tang Craftsman’s spirit of pursuit of excellence, independent innovation, and sustainable development is a reflection of the silent dedication and hard work of millions of craftsmen in Lantian Factory and even the entire Datang Craftsman.”

Fang Xuanling had already taken out a small notebook to record it. Listen to what others said, this is not a small workshop. If this is an ordinary small workshop, then what are other places?

Fang Xuanling was in charge of the household department. Although he was only in charge of the household department, when he personally participated in taxation, he had never seen such a large group of craftsmen.

The last time I saw it was when the Chang'an City Wall was being built.

"The entire factory is divided into three factory areas, the Liulic Factory Area, the Printing Factory Area, and the Papermaking Factory Area. It has tens of thousands of craftsmen. The factory is equipped with canteens, dormitories, and schools..."

Li Shimin was moved.

Liu Xuan built a small city without saying a word.

The moment Li Shimin saw the factory, he thought of the scale of a city. It has all the basic things. The only difference is that the people here are different from ordinary cities. The people here work day and night.

"All the craftsmen working in the factory have shifts every day. Each person can rest after working for four hours. During the rest period, they need to go to the school to learn to read and write, which takes one hour."

"The first thing that comes into view is our colored glaze factory. The colored glaze factory is the first factory built in Lantian after Lantian Hou took office. Before that, there was a desolate land between Lantian and Yushan. The grass and trees did not grow, people did not come, and even birds and beasts would avoid this place and choose a better habitat."

"Now it has become a lively scene. Three thousand craftsmen work day and night, continuously producing. With their wisdom and hard work, they broke the tradition that the people of the Tang Dynasty could only use the expensive colored glaze of foreign races, continued the ancient method, created new technology, and greatly reduced the cost. The slogan of the Lantian colored glaze factory is: Let everyone in the world use cheap and exquisite colored glaze."

Zhao Dayou was still a little stuttering when he spoke, but Li Shimin was excited when he heard it in his heart.

Damn, this is the feeling, this is the taste!

"Lao Fang, write this down. I'll need it when I get back."

The most excited person was Li Chenggan. Following behind Li Shimin, Li Chenggan's chest rose and fell silently, and blood almost gushed out of his eyes.
