Chapter 504 Conflicts between husband and wife are inevitable
Luban lock is a toy for children. Small educational toys can exercise children's thinking.
Li Tai walked up to the field in straw sandals and said, "The sucrose has arrived. In a few days, it will be made into white sugar and sent to Luoyang."
He followed his brother-in-law's footsteps and said again: "Is the Luban lock still there?"
Zhang Yang handed him the wooden stick in his hand, "Is His Highness the King of Wei also interested in this kind of toy?"
Li Tai sighed, "I want to give it a try."
It was somewhat shameful for the father to be unable to unlock the Luban lock, and the brother-in-law often made his father unhappy.
Li Tai hurried to the door of his father's summer residence and pieced together the Luban lock. After several attempts, a Luban lock slowly took shape.
This game is not difficult to say, it is comparable to the Rubik's Cube toy at my brother-in-law's house, and it tests one's calculation ability.
The wooden strips were fastened together. Li Tai frowned and put together all the wooden strips.
Thinking about it again, the structure of my brother-in-law's Luban lock is very clever. It's like building a house, which needs to be built around these pillars.
She said in her heart that her brother-in-law was embarrassing his father and did not take into account the difficulties of his father.
Li Tai sighed in his heart, the relationship between brother-in-law and father is so incompatible, I still need to mediate it.
After piecing together the Luban lock, Li Tai sat down for a while and then his father came back.
Li Shimin looked at the thing in Li Tai's hand and wondered: "How did this thing get into your hands?"
Li Tai stood up quickly, "I heard that my father was upset about this thing, so I took it to have a look. It has been spliced."
Li Shimin took the Luban lock and looked at it, "Did you piece it together yourself?"
"Father, it's just a craftsman's thing. I think it's not difficult to solve it as long as you understand its structure."
Glancing at Li Tai, Li Shimin asked: "Has the memorial from Zhongshu Province arrived?"
The guard in front of the door replied: "I just arrived not long ago."
No matter how exquisite this Luban lock is, it is just a child's toy, and Li Shimin has little interest in it.
Walking into the courtyard, Li Shimin began to review the memorial.
The memorial was sent from Shuofang, and Li Ji led an army of 50,000 to attack for half a month, and finally arrived at Baidaochuan.
After passing Baidaochuan, you will reach the boundary of Mobei.
He also specifically wrote about the wonderful use of the compass in the military newspaper.
With this compass based on the map of the Foreign Affairs Council, the march was extremely fast.
Li Shimin put down the memorial and said, "Let the green bird come in."
Li Tai had been wandering in front of the house. When he heard that he was summoned, he hurriedly walked in and said, "Father."
Li Shimin frowned and said: "Yan Liben has been studying Lishan's compass for some time recently, but he has never figured out its secrets."
Li Tai explained: "The compass is not the same as Sinan. It is simple to say. Historically, marching at night can follow the stars, but marching during the day will inevitably lose the direction and take the wrong path. Having a compass to confirm the north and south direction will get twice the result with half the effort, especially
It’s in a desert where it’s easy to lose your way.”
Li Shimin hesitated and asked: "Is this thing difficult to cast?"
"At first, my brother-in-law had a lot of trouble casting this object. It was precisely because the blacksmith shop in Lishan produced the best iron material. The iron material used was different from ordinary blacksmiths. It involved magnetic materials. I couldn't explain it at the moment.
.”
When he led his troops to fight in the Central Plains, Li Shimin naturally saw many experts who could calculate and calculate. The speed of the march could determine the outcome of a war.
Li Shimin was deeply aware of this, and he was sure that Zhang Yang still had a lot of good things in his stomach that he had not vomited out.
Sure enough, we want to save his life first! When his use value is gone, he will be hanged in front of Chengtian Gate.
Nodding with relief, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Just step back."
"Here." Li Tai bowed and saluted, feeling a little uneasy about why his father's smile was so captivating.
At the same time, Zhang Yang also read the files sent by the Diplomatic Academy and found that the mutual market in the Hexi Corridor was ready, but he was still undecided on the candidate.
Picking up the pen, Zhang Yang wrote down the corresponding arrangements, asking Di Zhisun to take a trip to the Hexi Corridor, and the Foreign Affairs Council took charge of the mutual market arrangements.
Looking at another file, this is about the situation in Liaodong. Da'an sent people to find the King of Goguryeo. After some lobbying, he finally asked Goguryeo to escort the Japanese people back through Goguryeo.
Shuofang's troops have already crossed Baidaochuan.
Li Yue on the side was looking at the story her husband had just written in her hand.
"The story of Huan Niang is indeed full of twists and turns." Li Yue commented after reading it: "How about letting our printing shop print this story?"
Judging from the look on her daughter-in-law's face, she feels that profits have been thin since the printing shop was established, and today's profits have almost stagnated.
"My husband has written before that both The Red Mansion and the Butterfly Lovers were not tolerated by the gentry. This story will arouse a lot of criticism among the public."
At that time, teacher Pu Songling wrote the story of Liaozhai based on the anecdotes passed down by people's mouth.
There are also many stories full of irony.
Li Yue whispered: "The Red Mansion was abandoned by the gentry, but our Red Mansion was widely spread among the people, and many people rushed to circulate it. The more the rich and powerful people criticized the Red Mansion, the more widely it was circulated."
"Justice can never be killed." Zhang Yang nodded.
"Yes, we can't kill them all."
The couple shared the same hatred.
Since the beginning of the war in the late Han Dynasty, the reputation of the Five Surnames and Qiwang has long been inferior to that of the past. When people have been oppressed by the gentry for a long time, they already have the spirit of resistance in their hearts.
The evil behavior of monopolizing official career is clearly exposed.
I don’t know since when these powerful people stopped pretending.
They are people's gateway to official career. If you don't bow to the aristocratic family, no matter how good your talents are, your talents will be useless.
The future of life is in the hands of a wealthy family, and aristocratic families last for hundreds of years. A dynasty may only last two to three hundred years, but aristocratic families can last for nearly a thousand years.
Looking back at the past, individuals and small forces could not compete with the aristocratic families, but now Yang Guang and the five surnames are fighting against each other.
And now there is Li Shimin’s resistance, and the imperial examinations have been held year after year.
It's time for some righteous people to wake up. This world is no longer what it used to be. After years of war, the family is not as strong as it was back then.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not to mention that Datang's hard work has become the soil for the family to grow again.
This is the best chance to defeat the family.
It is also the best time to awaken the spirit of resistance.
The most powerful weapon in the world is thousands of ordinary people. The power of the masses is huge. As long as the justice in their hearts is awakened, tens of millions of people will shout together.
With the support of the court, as long as Tian Khan can always stand on the side of the masses, he will gain unprecedented power.
This power can overturn the world and overthrow a noble family with ease.
At night, Li Yue copied down the eunuch's story and gave it to Aunt Yang, "Auntie, please give it to the printing shop tomorrow and let them start printing these stories."
Auntie smiled and nodded.
Li Yue spread out the test paper, then ground it and prepared it. She smiled softly, "My husband said that there are many touching stories in Liaozhai."
Zhang Yang nodded while holding his toolbox.
"I have prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone for my husband." Li Yue's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Zhang Yang glanced at the paper and pen and ink on the desk and said, "I don't want to write now."
Li Yue's smile froze on her face, "Why?"
"Now I still need to perfect the primer device of the earth mine."
"But……"
Zhang Yang interrupted her, "It's getting late. You should rest first. I'm very busy."
Li Yue stopped her husband at the workbench and said, "If you don't write, I won't sleep."
Zhang Yang took a deep breath and said, "If you don't want to sleep, help me grind the saltpeter and charcoal."
After being stunned for a long time, Li Yuehao gritted his teeth and strode back to his room, slamming the door hard.
The sound of the door closing was so loud that the children in the bedroom were frightened and cried.
Xiao Wu frowned and said, "Teacher, what's wrong?"
Zhang Yang sighed: "Your teacher is in a bad mood today and lost his temper."
Xu Hui came up and whispered: "Husbands and wives often quarrel. Back then, my parents would quarrel to the point of death over a trivial matter."
Listening to this little girl's narration, Zhang Yang was surprised that there was still such gossip.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xiaode was also henpecked.
Zhang Yang grinded gunpowder with his mouth and nose covered, while Xiao Wu and Xu Hui finished the homework assigned by the teacher today.
They were sitting in the yard, two girls playing chess under the starry sky.
The little bear lay lazily aside, yawning out of boredom.
The princesses and princes also came to Lishan to escape the summer heat. They were a group of well-dressed children, and the little bear also enjoyed the blessings. He ate and drank a lot of dried meat and big peaches from the south. Even the bear had ice cubes to chew.
.
Life is very beautiful. Now that I am growing stronger, I am not afraid of the torture of these naughty children, at least they can no longer do any harm to them.
Xiao Wu and Xu Hui played a game of chess, and after washing, he said, "Master also needs to rest early."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "You go to bed first."
Put the ground gunpowder in an iron basin, Zhang Yang picked up a wooden stick and burned it on the oil lamp. The wooden stick was lit and slowly approached the gunpowder.
When the flame encountered a little gunpowder, it ignited immediately.
There was another burst of white smoke and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.
Zhang Yang was so embarrassed that he waved his hand to disperse the white smoke in front of his eyes and opened the window to let in the night breeze.
When the burning is over, look at the condition of the gunpowder and see that it has burned fairly well.
Then take out a few parts from the workbench and go to the yard.
Put gunpowder into the center of the iron plate, put a heavy object on the iron plate, and install the spring.
Press hard and then release, there will be a crisp sound when the iron pestle meets the iron plate, and the gunpowder inside begins to burn.
Zhang Yang recorded the experimental record and continued preparation according to the previous process.
I tried it several times and compared it with the reaction time of gunpowder.
The density of the gunpowder inside at the moment of detonation is important.
Zhang Yang looked at the drawings worriedly. The size of the earth mine must be as small as possible in order to increase the sensitivity of detonation.
After setting several directions for improvement, Zhang Yang found that he smelled like gunpowder smoke and even a bear would hate it if he smelled it.
After washing well with cold water and smelling repeatedly to confirm that there was no smoke smell on his body, Zhang Yang changed his clothes and wrote down a few improvement plans. After preparing these, he planned to rest.
I was about to push the door open to go to the bedroom to sleep, but when I pushed it I found that the door was locked.
Zhang Yang knocked on the door and said: "Daughter-in-law, open the door."
"not open!"
Li Yue responded decisively from inside the room.
Zhang Yang leaned against the door, "I am busy improving the earth mines for our own self-protection in the future."
"I slept."
Li Yue's words came again in the room.
Zhang Yang pushed hard again. In fact, the door was not strong. He took a deep breath and pushed it open.
But when you push the door open, it becomes useless.
I feel sorry for my own door.
Zhang Yang touched the door and said not to worry about it for now. He took out the bedding from another room and spent the night on the table.
When he woke up the next day, Zhang Yang found that his wife had woken up early and was cleaning the yard with a broom in a good mood.
Li Lizhi came early in the morning, "Huh? Is my brother-in-law sleeping outside the house?"
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Your imperial sister was angry last night."
Helping her brother-in-law tidy up the bedding, Li Lizhi whispered: "Did my brother-in-law do something bad?"
Zhang Yang poured a mouthful of cold water and rinsed his mouth, "Your brother-in-law and I are a good person, how could I do bad things?"
Li Lizhi smiled playfully and went to find her imperial sister again.
Zhang Yang simply brushed his teeth and walked out of the room with the drawings in hand.
What is drawn on these drawings are parts, and these parts are all broken up.
Even if they create them, they don't know what they are used for.
Zhang Yang walked all the way to the other side of Lishan Mountain. Many villagers were busy here. The factories in the village were to be relocated here. Shangguan Yi was also arranging manpower here.
"County Marquis, why are you here?" Shangguan Yi took some time out of his busy schedule to drink tea.
"Where's Master Jiang?"
Shangguan Yi pointed to the location of the blacksmith's workshop, where Master Jiang was holding a bowl and sitting alone under a tree eating.
Zhang Yang nodded when he heard this, "Thank you for your hard work."
Shangguan Yi sighed, "It's not bad, the villagers are really working hard."
"Our factory has been expanded and production efficiency has improved. We will give them money for processing."
"Then I would like to express my gratitude to the county marquis on behalf of the villagers."
"You're welcome. I never asked you how the situation is in Lantian County."
Except for Lishan, the entire Lantian County is the fiefdom of the daughter-in-law, and there is a large population there.
Shangguan Yi explained: "Our new home is being built in Lantian County, and two thousand civilians are being used. The government is making arrangements for it."
Lantian County is not like Lishan.
Lishan was built by himself, but Lantian County has just started construction due to its large population.
The reconstruction plan of Lantian County started very slowly, and the long-term stability of the county also had to be considered, unlike the villagers of Lishan who could trust it in every possible way.
"In the future, we must consider the interests of the villagers more, and we in Lishan will also pull Lantian County to join hands in getting rich."
"That's what the magistrate said."
After patting him on the shoulder to show his loyalty and dependence, Zhang Yang stepped towards Master Jiang.
Master Jiang was eating a bowl of rice porridge and holding a piece of pancake in his hand. When he saw Zhang Yang coming, he took out a piece of hot naan pancake from his arms and said, "Child, you haven't eaten yet."
Smiling, he took the cake from Master Jiang and sat under the shade of the tree, eating the cake in bites.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Master Jiang noticed Zhang Yang's complexion, "Could it be that His Highness the King of Wei did not handle the matter assigned to him well and was punished?"
Zhang Yang chewed the cake and shook his head, "That's not true. I had a quarrel with my wife last night."
Master Jiang chuckled, "This is what happens between husband and wife. It's inevitable."
