Li Tai naturally didn't know what happened in Chang'an, but he was quite sure of Li Chengqian's gradual change.
After all, as long as Li Chengqian's personality does not change and Li Shimin remains responsible for his education, sooner or later Li Chengqian will be pushed into unbearable condition.
Because really not everyone in this world can accept direct advice from others.
To be honest, not to mention that the emperor can easily accept direct advice from others, even if it were any other person, it would be difficult for him to listen to the truth.
Not to mention far, just like in the current relationship between men and women, the most common thing used by girls is I don’t want you to listen to your reasoning, I want your attitude, and then there is no way to continue talking about this matter.
The same is true for the emperor. That emperor doesn't know the truth, but he only wants the position and attitude of your ministers!
And the reason why Li Shimin became the most advantageous competitor to become the emperor through the ages is because he can really listen to the truth and is willing to accept it.
With so many emperors up and down, who else but Li Shimin could completely reason with the ministers!
Yes, being an emperor and being reasonable seems to be the most natural thing for a person, but when you become an emperor who holds the power of the world, those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish, you will really be able to reason with your ministers.
!
Is Li Yuan reasonable? Liu Wenjing is dead. Is Li Zhi reasonable? Shangguan Yi was sold.
As for the emperors after the Tang Dynasty, who didn’t regard themselves as gods, and who could really reason with the people below them!
Even if it is not the Tang Dynasty, looking at the entire two thousand years of the feudal era, people like Li Shimin worked hard to govern in the early stage, but in the later stage, did they reason with the people?
Therefore, it is normal that Li Chengqian cannot bear the admonitions from people around him again and again.
Because Li Chengqian was just a normal person, and during his rebellious period, he happened to meet some of the hardest bones in the Zhenguan culture.
Anyway, Li Tai was lying in the bathroom, soaking in warm water while eating Su Shan with honey added to a spoon from the maid.
If it weren't for the wine pool and the meat forest, Li Tai wouldn't realize what the pleasure was, so it wouldn't be difficult to knock it over.
Of course, even now, I still look extravagant.
But if he were in Chang'an, even if Li Shimin didn't have his legs broken with a cane, he would probably be impeached to death by the officials.
But now in Luoyang, what’s the matter with enjoying it!
But it didn't matter. After taking a bath for half an hour every day, Li Tai felt refreshed.
After washing up, Li Tai returned to Prince Wei's Mansion and began to get into work.
At this time, Yan Qi, the second son of Yan Lide, sent Li Tai the giant sky lantern that Li Tai had entrusted Yan Xuansui to handle, saying that it had been developed for you, King Wei, to take a look at.
Li Tai was very excited when he heard this. After all, building a bridge is really difficult.
Now that we have this thing, I don’t say whether it can be given away to others, but at least it will be much more convenient to deliver goods, especially in many mountainous areas, which can save a lot of trouble.
At this time, Master Yuan happened to come to Luoyang. Even though he was living in Luoyang University normally, he still wanted to say hello to Li Tailai anyway.
And a very important point, Yuan Keshi also needs to replace Du Chuke and ask whether there has been any change in the positioning of Hehuang Valley and how it will develop in the future.
When Li Tai saw Master Yuan coming, he took three steps at a time and then took two steps at a time. He quickly held Yuan Keshi's hand and said,
"Master, you just came back from Hehuang. I know you have a lot to say, so let me go see something first."
Master Yuan was in a daze, but faced with Li Tai's enthusiasm, he didn't even have the right to refuse, and was directly pulled by Li Tai to watch the Kongming Lantern.
The place where the Kongming lanterns are placed is at Luoyang Agricultural University, mainly because this kind of thing can easily arouse the interest of children.
Needless to say, if my teacher could just make a Kongming lantern that can carry people, and then fly into the sky.
Even if the distance is only a few meters, my interest in physics will definitely increase by n points in the future.
Another example is that in modern times, practical lessons are given in space. People who came from the 1980s and 1980s must have severely condemned such fancy things, mainly because they did not have such a good practical experience in class.
Seeing Li Tai coming over, Yan Zhuang looked at Yuan Jiang slightly nervously and said, "Mr. Yuan, are you sure everything is safe?"
"Please rest assured, Yan Langjun. Since the beginning of the Northern Qi Dynasty, my family has been studying the art of flying for several generations." The craftsman comforted Yan Zhuang, "Now I want to experience the feeling of flying myself just like my ancestors did. I will definitely be foolproof."
!”
Yan Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. At this moment, he looked at Yuan Jiang, with a bit more respect for his family's heritage in his eyes, and said, "He has been a famous craftsman since the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he can be regarded as a famous craftsman even today.
A family of craftsmen!”
To be honest, for the Yan family, because they are also considered heirlooms of craftsmen, they don't have much contempt for these craftsmen.
Because the Yan family knows very well that it is not easy to inherit this kind of craftsmanship, but it is very easy to lose the line if you are not careful.
"It's not really a family of craftsmen. At most, they just like flying!" Yuanjiang smiled and said a little shyly.
When Yan Zhuang heard this, not only did he not despise him, but he respected him even more, because in history, for any family that likes to play flying, it is normal for the inheritance to be cut off.
Think about how many waves of people have been involved in flying in history, and how many aristocratic families have taken part in it.
The Yuan family was able to make their way from the Northern Qi Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty without going bankrupt and without losing the family lineage. It was not easy!
"Sure enough, this kind of thing still needs a family like yours that has rich flying experiments to operate it!"
Yanzhuang sighed, "I don't know which Yuan dynasty master my ancestor is. Can you reveal his name?"
Yuan Jiang's face looked a little embarrassed, but he said, "Reporting to Mr. Yuan Huangtou, the ancestor of our family."
"Oh~ I've admired him for a long time!" Yan Zhuang looked like he had admired his name for a long time, but he couldn't remember this craftsman in his mind?
Looking at Yan Zhuang's long-awaited look, Yuan Jiang knew that the other person had no idea who his ancestor was.
However, Yuan Jiang did not explain in detail the great achievements of his ancestors, so he just laughed it off.
To put it simply, if there are people in this world who are responsible for researching aircraft, then there are people who are responsible for using aircraft.
Gao Yang of the Northern Qi Dynasty one day forced people to ride kites made of mats and jump from a platform seventeen feet high. Many people fell to death. He laughed loudly when he saw it, but a man named Yuan Huangtou took advantage of it.
He flew the kite outside the city and escaped.
And this is why Yuan Huangtou became the creator of the Yuanjiang family, because instead of being afraid, he fell in love with the sport. Then he worked hard to become a carpenter, and the family still has products he made.
Kite and wooden bird.
No matter how you say it, it is more or less a heritage, and Yuan Jian was selected because of his good skills in making Kongming lanterns.
At this moment, after Li Tai arrived, everyone stopped talking and the atmosphere became serious, because they knew that the most important thing for Li Tai was to get the Kongming Lantern done well.
With Li Tai in place, Yuan Jiang stood under the Kongming Lantern woven from a bamboo basket and lit a bonfire. However, he saw that driven by the heat flow, the Kongming Lantern really flew up with Yuan Jiang.
However, it only flew up about three meters, and there was a thick hemp rope holding the Kongming Lantern from below, preventing it from continuing to fly upward.
The whole incident did not even last for half a quarter of an hour. Yuan Jiang quickly extinguished the fire and let the Kongming Lantern fall down.
The eyes of the students onlookers were shining brightly. It was obvious that they were quite amazed by this method of making people fly directly.
Even if only one percent of them can fall in love with hot air balloons and then engage in this profession to promote the development of Datang's science and technology, that is very worthwhile in Li Tai's opinion.
After all, compared to so-called jobs driven by financial interests, those who use interest as a starting point, use up every ounce of their potential, and even further develop their potential are real talents.
After landing, Yuan Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Yan Zhuang came to Li Tai and said,
"Information to the King of Wei. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. The sky lantern you requested that can carry people has been produced. I would also like to ask the King of Wei to review it."
"Not bad, very good!" Li Tai marveled at this giant sky lantern that was almost like Unit 1.
To be honest, this thing, even now, is only a product of experiments, and it is still far away from being put into actual use.
After all, the continuous delivery of power for less than half a quarter of an hour makes the practical value of this hot air balloon really very low.
In any case, the emergence of this kind of thing is a breakthrough from scratch. Before this thing can't carry people, it can at most be responsible for reporting news or measuring the weather. But after this thing can carry people, the value of this thing will
It's higher.
At this time, Master Yuan looked at the scene in front of him and was full of doubts, because he had no idea what the function of this thing was. He just simply felt that people could fly through this thing. It was really... quite magical.
.
Li Tai had no interest in understanding the structure of this giant sky lantern. It was enough for him to achieve a breakthrough from zero to one.
The rest is how to apply this thing to industrial fields that need it more, that is a matter for professionals.
Since he was not a professional, he naturally found a professional, and Yuan Keshi found a professional himself.
"Keshi, what do you think of this thing?" Li Tai looked at Yuan Keshi and asked, "Can it be used as a transportation vehicle in the Hehuang Valley?"
"Ah?" Master Yuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, feeling that he couldn't keep up with Li Tai's thinking at all.
This thing...how did it suddenly become a vehicle in the Hehuang Valley? Just because it can't fly up to three meters?!
Li Tai looked at Master Yuan and said, "My idea is this. The main purpose of this thing is to use it up and down.
In particular, there are many winding mountain roads in the Hehuang Valley. Rather than improving production efficiency, it is better to improve operational efficiency.
Therefore, transporting materials through this method of burning coal in a hot air balloon is much faster than carrying people up and down!"
"Your idea, King Wei, is naturally excellent!" Yuan Keshi couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth when he heard Li Tai's words, and said,
"But looking at the situation before us, this technology hasn't been studied yet, at least we can't control the direction of this thing, right?!"
"As long as it can go up and down, it's enough. The control direction can be designed to be controlled from the ground.
For example, two ropes are designed, and then the hot air balloon and another rope can be tied up and down at the two end points.
You can also use manpower to directly move the hot air balloon up and down. At least it is more convenient than people carrying supplies and walking on a winding road.
At least the place where the Kongming Lantern passes is a straight line!"
Li Tai naturally promoted his idea about hot air balloons in detail.
Because Li Tai knew that this thing had no practical use in Luoyang now.
But in a place like the Hehuang Valley with rugged mountain roads and plans to develop terraced fields in the future, there might actually be some potential for development.
Because Li Tai knows that his inventions and creations will only have the potential to develop if there is actual demand.
If it is purely a toy for the rich, then no matter how advanced this thing is, it has no meaning.
From my own perspective, the development potential of this thing is only in two directions. One is the army, which can be regarded as a new branch of arms.
But the reality is that the Tang army is now the best in the world, does it really need to create new arms?
So, it is better to put it on transportation.
After all, as long as people feel less effort, the local people may slowly pass on and improve this skill even for their own convenience.
Not to mention, the animal skins needed most for this hot air balloon are produced in the land surrounding the Hehuang Valley.
To be honest, Li Tai didn't know which animal skin was most suitable for the skin of this hot air balloon. He still needed to experiment one by one.
Therefore, it is better to leave all the corresponding craftsmen and techniques to Yuan Keshi and let Yuan Keshi discover them slowly.
Li Tai knew that although his machine was a first-generation machine, but if he really wanted to put it into use, he was afraid that it would take at least five or six years of hard work by the local people to get the corresponding results based on local conditions.
And when the technology of hot air balloons matures, and then they can be converted from civilian use to military use, it will be possible to get twice the result with half the effort.
In the future, it will be of great help in conducting investigations and transporting supplies in Tibet.
There is no way, Li Tai is still confident in defeating Tubo, but if he wants to destroy Tubo, to be honest, in an era when the average temperature is getting higher and higher, Li Tai's confidence is still somewhat insufficient.
Because the Snow Empire really occupies the right time and place in the entire world, and going against it is almost like going against the world.
When Master Yuan heard about Li Tai's use of hot air balloons, he couldn't help but his eyes gleaming.
To be honest, as Master Yuan who was forced by his father to become Li Bing and his son, he was really about to break his legs.
At least at this moment, no one can feel the help and significance of the hot air balloon to the Hehuang Valley and the protection of his own legs more than him! No one!
