The Yun family has more days of celebration than all the people of the Tang Dynasty. When the pomegranates are ripe, they need to celebrate. When the pomegranates are ripe, they also need to celebrate. Now that the persimmons are ripe, they naturally have to celebrate in a big way.
"Yezi, last time I attended your daughter's first cooking celebration, I suffered from gastrointestinal discomfort. I can't eat persimmons today, right? Eating too much of these things is bad for going to the toilet!"
Li Tai was so distressed by the funeral of the Supreme Emperor that he built a thatched shed beside the Xianling Mausoleum and lived in it with Li Chengqian and Li You. Originally, Li Er and his brothers were supposed to live in the thatched shed. The emperor had complicated things and lived there.
After three days, he asked the prince and others to take his place and returned to Chang'an.
"There is something for you to eat. Autumn is the time for fat making. There are meatballs and strips of meat, and some of your favorite sweet rice is also steamed. Meat is not allowed when guarding the tomb. You are a person who cannot live without meat.
, Eat more later, and wipe your mouth before leaving. You can bring more sweet rice and meatballs to Cheng Qian and the others."
Yun Ye was talking to Li Tai, while Han Zhe and Yun Mu held up a long bamboo pole to twist the persimmons down. Han Zhe had never done this job before, and now he was very happy picking persimmons.
It is very cold in Guanzhong in November. Except for pines, cypresses and bamboos, other trees are already bare. The Yun family's persimmons have fewer fruits this year, but they are very big. From a distance, it looks like the trees are covered with red lanterns.
, be careful when walking under the persimmon trees, as a ripe persimmon may fall and hit your head.
"My research is in trouble, Yezi. Building a car behind closed doors is not a problem. I only know that if you want to fly, you need a continuous and stable force on the object. However, there are too many conditions required. Once you solve one, you will find it immediately.
There are more questions that need to be explained, and Hypatia is also helping me, but unfortunately there is not much progress.
When I was studying gunpowder, I discovered a characteristic of gunpowder, that is, without exploding, it sprays flames and generates a forward force. I think this force can be used in flight."
After saying that, he waved, and immediately two servants wearing soft hats came over carrying a box. Li Tai motioned Yun Ye to go to the pond, and the servant put a small wooden boat into the pond. Small wooden boat
Some thin bamboo tubes were tied to the tail. At Li Tai's signal, the servant adjusted the rudder and ignited the fuse on the bamboo tube. The middle bamboo tube began to spray flames, and the boat slowly swam forward at a very fast speed.
The stability of the fuse continued. As the fuse continued to burn, the two diagonal bamboo tubes began to spray flames. The speed of the boat suddenly accelerated a lot. As more and more bamboo tubes were ignited, the speed of the boat also increased.
The faster you go, after all the bamboo tubes are ignited, the speed of the boat is already very fast. You need to run quickly to catch up with the boat. After a few runs, the gunpowder in the bamboo tubes burned out, and the boat also
It stopped motionless in the pond.
"This is what it looks like. The bow of the ship has been tilted up. If there is enough place to put gunpowder, the ship will definitely fly. A single bamboo tube can fly as long as it is equipped with a tail fin. I have given this matter to
I asked my subordinates to research new firearms. In the future, the eight-niu crossbow might be eliminated, and there would no longer be a need to install bulky crossbow arrows on ships. Because the gunpowder itself can carry the weapon to the enemy ship, I am interested in research.
How to kill people has no sexual interest. What I like more is how to fly into the sky. How happy it would be to wander on the white clouds."
Yun Ye would not tell Li Tai that during the Ming Dynasty, a guy named Wan Hu had done this. As a result, his body was blown to pieces. The only thing that used gunpowder as a propeller was a rocket. The original aircraft did not fly like this.
"That's right. You've just started research and you've already made a big discovery. If you continue your research like this, I'm worried that you will fly to the moon one day. What are you going to do?"
Yun Ye could not give up the hard-won enthusiasm for Feitian, he could only continue to encourage him.
Li Tai said happily: "I plan to build a special boat. I will sit on it, tie a rocket to the back, and try it on the Qujiang River to see if it can still fly."
"If you put two wings on the ship, I'm sure you can fly. The problem is that I can't guarantee whether you will land alive after flying. The gunpowder will explode, which is too dangerous."
Li Tai chuckled and said: "As long as it can fly, we'll see if we can land and fly later. It's great. I'll continue to get a pig up. Hehe, the first one to ride the parachute is a pig. I didn't expect that the first one to fly would still be
Pig, I, Li Tai, am not destined to experience such a great moment.
When the servant was igniting the gunpowder on the wooden boat, Han Zhe brought Yun Mu over to watch. Now that he heard that Li Tai was planning to fly, it seemed that it was really possible, so he couldn't help but interjected and asked, "Can it really fly?"
?"
Yun Ye nodded and said: "It should be possible. It makes sense, but it depends on the actual situation. Ah, Qingque, I haven't reintroduced Han Zhe to you yet. He killed his father. Now he said that in Baishi Palace
After all, the cinnabar seller in Chang'an this time is Fang Xuanling's house! I heard that the palace spent a lot of money on the cinnabar. See if you can eat the rest. They are all the highest quality cinnabar.
I don't want to sell it to those Taoist priests, they will only use it to make elixirs and waste the good stuff."
Li Tai happily congratulated Han Zhe for killing his father. He knew Han Zhe's affairs well. If he had been put in Han Zhe's position, he would have gone crazy and would have never lived to such an old age. Han Zhe instantly
The shackles were taken off, and the royal pressure also disappeared in an instant. This is indeed a good thing worthy of congratulations.
"Xiao Zhe, now that the banks are tightening money supply, it is difficult for me to come up with a large amount of gold and silver to buy, but there is never a shortage of buyers for high-grade cinnabar, so I want it too. How about exchanging it with other things? You know, spices, I
There's some left."
Hanzhe thought for a while and said: "There is no need for spices. I need food. There is no food in Baishi Palace. I don't want to kill people and rob, so I thought of exchanging some."
Yun Ye interrupted with a smile: "Xiao Zhe, you are not a businessman. Do you know how much food you can exchange for these cinnabar? As long as the population of your White Stone Palace does not exceed 10,000, it will be enough for you to eat for twenty years. If the food is
The Tang Dynasty is not valuable, so how do you get that much food back? Don't tell me that the road to your White Stone Palace is very easy. In the deep mountains and old forests, transportation is a big trouble.
Han Zhe absolutely believed that these two people would not lie to him. Since this is the case, it must be like this. Ten thousand people can eat for twenty years, and sixteen hundred people can eat for at least a hundred years? That's the case.
The numbers are indeed very scary.
"Also, in the Tang Dynasty, large-scale grain transactions like this need to be reported to the government for approval. Private individuals cannot get so much grain. Besides, you can't eat it. Why don't you take part of the grain, which is enough?"
You eat food for two years, exchange part of the rest for money, and exchange the rest for spices, porcelain, glass, and other things. Open a business of your own, so that you Baishi Palace will have a stable income in the future.
You don’t have to worry about small things like food.”
Han Zhe was very happy. He didn't expect that the things he brought were so valuable. He originally thought that if he brought twenty carts of mung bean-sized cinnabar, it would be good if he could exchange for a hundred carts of grain. He didn't expect that he could exchange for so much. He had it on hand.
There is not even a shopkeeper, so he can only leave it to Yun Ye to help him handle it.
Li Er soon learned about Han Che. He was happy to see Han Che kill his father. Judging from Han Che's performance during the two years in Lingnan, he was more like a smart man.
A young man, not a vicious person. As long as Baishi Palace is willing to integrate into the Tang Dynasty society, Li Er is happy to see it happen. With the example of Baishi Palace, those annoying outsiders will eventually slowly integrate into society.
.
No one knows the terrible consequences of incest marriage better than Li Er. The royal family also pays attention to the purity of blood. Baishi Palace has reached the current stage. Destruction is almost their only foreseeable consequence. As long as the company is established, they have no choice.
Cutting off the ties between himself and the world, Li Er has crossed out Baishi Palace from his enemy list in his heart. Ignoring them is the best way to deal with them.
Han Zhe wrote a sincere letter for this matter and gave it to Li Tai, hoping to send it to the emperor's desk. The arrogance of Baishi Palace was still there, and surrender was impossible, but Han Zhe had promised that in the Tang Dynasty,
He will definitely abide by the existing system and respect the emperor's authority. From this letter, Li Er can see a lot of information. For example, the White Stone Palace is not on the land of the Tang Dynasty. Although Han Zhe did not tell anyone where the White Stone Palace is.
, at least Li Er, Yun Ye, and Li Tai already know their approximate location, because they can be calculated from the time and supplies they entered the Tang Dynasty.
Cinnabar is in very short supply in Chang'an. After Yun Ye announced that he had a large amount of cinnabar in stock, buyers came in droves. Even noble families need to keep some cinnabar on hand to treat illnesses, write talismans, and add cinnabar to their ancestors' offerings.
It is also indispensable, because it also has a name: "Fairy Blood."
Han Zhe filled the guest room of the Yun family with gold coins. He was not interested in these, but happily helped Li Tai prepare for the experiment that was about to begin. On the first day of the year, the first test of mankind will be carried out on the Qujiang River.
times flying.
Hanzhe, who wanted to compete with the pigs for the right to ride for the first time, was severely scolded by Yun Ye. He did not intend to let anyone become a victim of the experiment until it was absolutely safe.
Everyone in Chang'an is looking forward to this flight. As long as it can fly, it will be a major event that will be recorded in history. For this reason, Li Er exempted Li Tai from guarding the tomb and asked him to concentrate on preparations. After his father died, he
The title of the Sixteenth Family was revoked in one tone. The atmosphere in Chang'an was too depressing and needed something cheerful to lighten it up.
