Your Majesty is a wise, polite, and virtuous corporal, tolerant, able to accept advice, and diligent in political affairs. Li Junxian bowed and saluted. That is why Your Majesty showed so clearly at the moment that he tolerated Zhang Yang again and again.
If His Majesty gives the order, the general will surely lead his troops to wipe out Lishan Mountain.
Li Junxian stood in front of the palace and thought like this.
In the past, when Zhang Yang was away, although the various expenses in the court were tight, they could still be dealt with.
In the quiet palace at night, Li Shimin walked on the quiet palace path, followed by a group of palace maids who walked silently behind him.
There is a brightly lit palace in the distance, which is the Li Zheng Palace.
After the twelfth lunar month, the children stayed here for a while and now went to Lishan for ten days of classes. They went to Lishan for ten days every month for six years.
Li Shimin was still able to accept this.
Last year Zhang Yang entered the Shangshu Province and spent half a year planning the affairs of the official school and the Hexi Corridor. Li Shimin felt that Zhang Yang's value was no longer that great.
Rather than using him, use him first and then replace him.
Since Chu Suiliang failed, let Fang Xuanling be in charge for a while and see the effects.
Walking into the Li Zheng Hall, Li Shimin put aside the fatigue of the day. The children all went to Lishan, and only the little Sizi stayed with the queen.
The three-year-old girl was playing with a puzzle, which was also sent by Lishan.
Zhang Yang made toys in his spare time, and Yue'er gave them to the children for entertainment.
Xiao Sizi held her skirt, held a puzzle piece in her hand, and carefully placed it on the picture. She was full of surprise when she found that the picture was put together.
Seeing his daughter so quiet and sensible, Li Shimin felt that his worries were much less.
Empress Changsun came over and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Let's take a rest early."
Li Shimin nodded slightly, "I often wonder if Zhang Yang can solve the same problem in a more economical and labor-saving way."
"Zhang Yang is a kid who is very good at business planning. In Yue'er's words, he will use the boiled but unfinished water to wash his face, wash his feet after washing his face, and then use it to water the vegetables in the vegetable field.
, in this way everything is done, just a basin of water is used."
"Furthermore, he and Yue'er went out to play before and bought a horse. When he came back, he sold it to a horse dealer. If he resold it, he could even earn more than ten yuan more. This is the way to run a house, Yue'er
They have been accustomed to this practice for so many years, and their family has always been like this."
“It’s true that we should learn this approach from him.”
Empress Changsun frowned and said, "Is it because the cost of the imperial court is tight again?"
Li Shimin let out a long sigh, "Although I am nervous, the food sales in the Hexi Corridor brought in more than 2,000 dollars last year."
After taking off your majesty's coat, Empress Changsun whispered: "If the government cannot meet the expenses, there is no need to let Zhang Yang go to Lishan."
Li Shimin remained silent and did not reply.
The matter involves government affairs, so Empress Changsun cannot say much. Since she is Yue'er's husband, this is a family matter.
The conflict between His Majesty and Zhang Yang is no longer a day or two.
If Zhang Yang could bow his head to His Majesty and help him properly, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers would not be so tense.
And His Majesty wanted to take advantage of Zhang Yang, but did not want to give him too much power. He kept his hands and constraints everywhere, which also led to the child's constant dissatisfaction.
The queen also did not want to talk more about government affairs.
After undressing Your Majesty, Empress Changsun took Little Sizi to rest.
Since the incense burner was no longer used in the palace, Xiao Sizi also slept more peacefully.
"Mother, have your sisters and brothers gone to Mount Li?"
Hearing Xiao Sizi ask in a low voice, Queen Changsun said again: "When you grow up, you will also go to Lishan to learn skills."
Xiao Sizi smiled happily when he heard this.
In the early morning of the second day, Li Shimin walked into the Tai Chi Hall and listened to the reports from various ministries in the court.
But the morning in Lishan was lively. Zhang Yang was leading a group of children playing takraw ball, and the flat ground beside Huaqing Pool became a stadium.
As the goalkeeper, the little bear stared at the sepak takraw ball at the children's feet. Seeing Dongyang kick the ball towards the goal, the little bear knocked the ball back with his head.
Once failed, the offense and defense switch positions.
Li Lizhi and Li Zhi each led a team, and the children rushed to grab the takraw ball.
Zhang Yang was on the side as the referee, and the scene under the morning light was unique.
The children were all sweating profusely at this moment.
Li Yue made new clothes for the children. When the ten-day study period this month was over, the children looked better when they returned to the palace wearing new clothes.
The Huaqing Pool was full of laughter at the moment.
At the end of the game, Li Lizhi's team defeated Li Zhi's team with a three-goal lead.
Seeing that Li Zhi was still dissatisfied, Zhang Yang changed his clothes and said, "Put on your coat when the weather turns warm or cold. Don't catch a cold."
Looking at the pendulum clock on the side, Zhang Yang added: "Free activities for half an hour, and class will start in half an hour."
"I know." The children said in unison.
For the little bear, farming is just a leisurely hobby. Of course, it would rather play with the children. As the overlord of Lishan Mountain, it has no interest in the cats, dogs, chickens and ducks in this foothills or in the village.
Li Zhi looked at the pendulum clock curiously. This pendulum clock was different from the one improved by Yan Liben in the palace.
He opened the cover behind the pendulum clock and found that the internal structure was simpler and there were fewer gear sets. The brother-in-law solved the problem of kinetic energy loss by using a plate rolled from a roll of iron sheets, allowing the pendulum to last longer.
"Brother-in-law, what is this?"
Zhang Yang explained: "This is a clockwork."
"Clockwork? I've never heard of such a thing before."
Zhang Yang took out a small wheel from the tool box on the side, tightened the spring in it, and then relaxed the wheel to start spinning.
Li Zhi curiously took the clockwork and observed it carefully, "What a magical thing. Is this also a conversion of kinetic energy?"
"Yes, but the kinetic energy it releases is very slow." Zhang Yang explained: "Lishan has tried the extreme operating time of the pendulum clock, which lasts up to thirty hours, because gravity is a constant and cannot be changed, even if the gears in it are changed.
No matter how detailed the group is, the efficiency of conversion can only be so small."
"So we need to join in external forces?"
Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, "I use a clockwork to provide the rotational force of the gear. Its rotation can pull up the iron ingot affected by gravity. As long as the clockwork is tightened every day, it can continue to rotate."
"How long will it last."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Just tighten the spring regularly, but the spring will also be worn. When the life of the spring is up, you can continue to use it by replacing the spring."
"Well, being able to make clockwork is also the product of our Lishan development breaking through the technical bottleneck. There will be better quality tools in the future."
I don’t know how much Li Zhi’s little brain can understand. Let’s talk to him about this first, and let him slowly digest the understanding.
In March of the 10th year of Zhenguan, a huge assembly line was running in the busy Lishan factory. This assembly line often made a squeaking sound when it was driven. Manually twisting the handle on the side could make the assembly line spin, and the paper would rotate.
Then it entered the next process.
Li Tai held a blueprint in his hand, with parts and appliances drawn on it.
Li Tai looked at it and scratched his head vigorously, "Did your brother-in-law ask you to make these things?"
Master Jiang replied: "Here are the wrenches, here are the screws, and here are the nuts. That boy Zhang Yang said it was ordered by His Highness King Wei."
This brother-in-law is really...
Li Tai coughed to relieve his embarrassment, "It was indeed my order, but these were also the items Zhang Yang was collecting. I didn't ask too detailed questions at the time."
"Of course His Highness the King of Wei cannot worry about such a trivial matter."
Li Tai handed the drawing back to him, "You go and forge it."
"Here."
After giving the instructions, I saw Shangguan Yi rushing over.
"His Royal Highness King Wei, the people sent from the palace have arrived."
Li Tai stood up and said, "Have all the books been loaded into the car?"
Shangguan Yi nodded, "It's all loaded into the car."
After walking to the warehouse, there were books neatly stacked on carts, stacked as high as one person.
"Twenty-five thousand books are here."
Shangguan Yi took the account book and said.
Li Tai let out a sigh of relief. He was relieved that part of Lishan's construction results could finally be used. He was afraid that someone would take out all the books and burn them.
Let the villagers push the cart to the entrance of the village.
Li Tai led the team all the way to the entrance of the village.
Cen Wenwen personally led his team to wait here. It was March, and this season was busy with spring plowing. He looked up and said to Chu Suiliang, "Shilang Chu, let's take a look at the fields here and other places."
The fields are also different."
Chu Suiliang came from a well-known family and did not understand farming at all. He was not interested in these words. He just felt that the fields in Lishan were well-organized and looked very comfortable.
Li Tai came with cartloads of books. He cupped his hands and said, "Shilang Cen, Shilang Chu."
Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "I helped His Highness the King of Wei compile Kuo Di Zhi, and the last time we met was three years ago. Now His Highness the King of Wei has changed a lot. He has lost weight and grown taller."
Li Tai sighed: "Really? But from my point of view, there is no change."
Compared with ordinary people, Li Tai is still fat, and he is not only fatter by one or two points, but also the fat on his face will move when he runs.
In addition to losing weight, I also eat more on weekdays.
This has also led to very low results in recent years.
Shangguan Yi took the account book in his hand and said: "Five thousand volumes of Thousand Character Essays, six thousand volumes of Analects, five thousand volumes of Shuowen Jiezi, and the remaining three to five volumes of various leisure articles."
Cen Wenwen looked at the carts of books and was speechless for a long time, and these volumes were all made of paper.
We all have seen the world, but when we saw so many books, we were stunned and speechless.
Paper is very valuable in Chang'an City. In addition to writing important memorials, everyone saves on bamboo slips or cloth silk.
Chu Suiliang immediately took out a roll and looked carefully at the content printed on the paper, and the fonts were beautiful.
Lishan Seal has always used Mr. Ouyang Xun's regular script, which is true if you think about it.
The volume is not too thick, about fifty pages, with words printed on both sides of a piece of paper.
"Generally speaking, few people print on both sides of the printing block."
Chu Suiliang was very knowledgeable about calligraphy and also knew about paper and printing.
He could see the problem at a glance.
Li Tai smiled and said: "Lishan has its own printing method, which is very different from the ordinary printing methods in the outside world."
After hearing the words, Chu Suiliang nodded and said: "It is indeed novel and rare. If you use a printing block to press down, it is easy to make indentations on the paper and leave marks on the back. In this way, the back of the paper cannot be used. Dare you?"
Ask Lishan what method he used."
Movable type printing is the biggest secret of Lishan, which is one of the reasons why Lishan has almost become a forbidden place for outsiders.
Li Tai explained: "Shilang Chu is right."
Curious, Chu Suiliang didn't want to ask any more questions and arranged for people to take the books away.
Shangguan Yi said quickly: "Please take these carts away and return them to Lishan in their original condition."
Cen Wenwen nodded while counting the books, "You Lishan are already so wealthy, do you still mind these carts?"
"The Marquis of Lishan County is a frugal person."
"Zhang Yang has this way of doing business and is so frugal. How can he not be rich?"
Chu Suiliang was still observing the paper. He looked at the paper repeatedly and rubbed it again. "The paper is thick. There are no marks. Is there something underneath it?"
There are many calligraphers in the world, and all literati can write well.
Not to mention calligraphers such as Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun, there are also descendants like Chu Suiliang.
As for the mystery behind it, Li Tai would naturally not say anything.
This is the result that my father wants, let alone let others covet it.
More than 20,000 volumes of books were taken away from Lishan. Li Tai was sitting in the village, watching the villagers farming in the fields and worrying.
Seeing Zhang Yang walking towards him, Li Tai whispered: "My brothers and sisters should all be taking a lunch break at this time."
Zhang Yang nodded slightly and said, "Well, I will take a half-hour lunch break and then another half-hour of free activities before continuing with class."
Li Tai didn't have much interest in mathematics, so he helped his brother-in-law run Lishan, which was so large. He also had his own share of the factory, and he saved a lot of money.
"My brother-in-law's knowledge is difficult to understand and difficult for ordinary people to understand. That is to say, my younger brothers and sisters are just at the age of children and have not yet fully understood it. Only by starting from now can we get twice the result with half the effort. People of my age
, I can’t learn and I can’t accept it.”
As Li Tai said, science and mathematics are the same. These require basic knowledge to be slowly laid down, not that you can master it overnight.
Especially in science, if you want to learn the knowledge and change it cognitively, people's current cognition is trapped in the insights of ancient books, making it difficult to accept the relationship between the earth and the universe. Their inherent thinking habits will make them
Instinctively reject this knowledge.
It's like some people think that there are real gods on the mountain, but people who come down from the mountain feel that there is nothing else on the mountain except animals and plants.
Lishan not only had its own movable type printing technology, but also its own production technology and its own knowledge. Li Tai took out a piece of cake from his arms and took a bite.
I finished the cake in three or two bites, stuffed it into my mouth and chewed it vigorously.
The guard hurriedly came to report, "Your Highness the King of Wei, General Cheng Yaojin has left Chang'an City."
"What to do?"
"Go to the wine shop..."
"No!" Li Tai slapped his thigh and stood up, "Brother-in-law, come with me quickly."
