Zhang Yang walked into his study, looked at the messy drawings in the study, and patiently began to sort them out.
They say I am the most leisurely person in the whole village. Am I leisurely?
Zhang Yang picked up the drawings and sighed helplessly, "How can the casting of firearms be so simple?"
I took out a bunch of parts from the bookshelf. Wooden-handled grenades are easy to misfire and get wet. At my current level, it is more than enough to make a firecracker, and earth mines are just barely enough.
But once I want to go more refined, I feel that my knowledge reserve is not enough.
The most tormenting thing is that the wife locked the door and had to spend the night alone.
Slowly pulling out a match rope from a wooden box, Zhang Yang quickly pulled it out. The fire tip inside began to react and generate heat, and finally bursts of white smoke came out.
"Bang!"
There was a dull explosion, and Zhang Yang opened the wooden box. A pit was burned out on the table, and there were some flames, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, and white smoke.
Picking up the wet cloth prepared nearby, Zhang Yang quickly wiped the table and put out the fire.
The study was now even more cluttered, with a pile of parts lying around. Sure enough, we couldn't do this kind of experiment at night. It would be too dangerous, but fortunately the quantity was small.
Zhang Yang was playing with two pieces of flint in his hand, looking at the empty night outside the window, recalling in his mind the scenes of people using wooden-handled grenades in later movies and TV series.
I scratched my head in pain, probably there was something wrong with the trigger medicine.
But I also know where the problem lies. Is it possible to go over the chemistry knowledge again?
But there is no textbook here.
"Where did the chemistry teacher come from?" Zhang Yang thought hard and finally gave up.
Giving up midway does not mean giving up, but leaving it to be picked up and re-verified later.
It's like taking a test paper. When you encounter a difficult problem that you can't solve for the time being, and within the limited time, the best way is to skip the question first.
Turn to the next questions and use the limited time to achieve maximum benefits.
Zhang Yang picked up the other two drawings and threw the other drawing away. There was still one drawing left in his hand.
This is a matchlock gun, and loading is very troublesome.
If it's a hand-to-hand encounter, it's a one-time thing. If you can increase the range, you can still survive.
Zhang Yang was still playing with the flint in his hand, and the night was already deep.
My life has been very bad lately, and I stay up late at night worrying about these things every day.
I came to my kitchen, looked at the only ingredients left in front of me, made a bowl of egg fried rice, and added some chopped green onions.
Zhang Yang sat at the door of the house with a bowl in hand, looking at the silent Huaqing Pool.
A gap opened in the bedroom, and a figure walked behind her. She whispered: "I'm hungry."
Zhang Yang put fried rice into his mouth, chewed and said: "There is more in the pot."
"Hehe..." Li Yue smiled softly, walked briskly into the kitchen wearing a thin dress, and took out a bowl of egg fried rice.
The couple sat in front of the house and ate quietly.
After finishing the fried rice, Li Yue poured two cups of hot water, handed one cup to her husband and sat down aside, "How do you know I didn't sleep?"
Drinking hot water, Zhang Yang said with a smile: "You have the habit of washing your feet with hot water before going to bed, and the oil lamp in the room is always on, so I know you haven't slept, so I fried an extra bowl. If you don't come out, I will
Just eat one more bowl,”
"There are still a lot of clothes that have not been made, and the clothes for the children to wear in winter are not yet available. We must hurry up and make them."
As she spoke, she stood up again. Seeing that the study was in disarray, she frowned and tidied it up patiently.
Zhang Yang stood leaning against the door of the study room, "I had nothing to do and I was going to pick up the firearm drawings I left before, but accidentally burned the table."
After taking a closer look at the dark patch on the desk, she smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll make a new one tomorrow."
Zhang Yang stepped forward and took the scroll in her hand, "We'll put it away in the morning."
Knowing the meaning of the words, he was about to dodge, but he felt a weight on his waist and his whole body was carried on his shoulders.
"Put me down." Li Yue waved his back stubbornly.
"Oh, what if I put you down and you lock me out again?"
"You!" Li Yue's face turned red. She wanted to resist but couldn't get away.
The tenth year of Zhenguan was a special year. It was also the year when Tian Khan gained absolute power and the emperor was at the peak of his career.
The soldiers who followed the emperor in the southern and northern campaigns also received the rewards they deserved.
Cheng Yaojin waited ten years for this reward, and after ten years he finally took the position of Duke.
Some people are happy and some are worried. The one who is worried is Kong Yingda. Now that Cheng Yaojin is the Duke of the country, his family wants to get married. Before, they said that it was wrong to be from a different family. Is this good? Now he is the Duke of the country.
Although he still refused, he still had to suffer the torture of Duke Lu, so much so that Kong Yingda made up his mind that as long as the old man was still alive, he would never give his granddaughter to him.
Zhang Yang was even more worried. Listening to his aunt's story, Cheng Yaojin was granted the title of Duke of the State and had a settlement of more than 900 households, which was more than three times that of Lishan.
Looking at other people's scenery, I felt bitter. Counting the princess Li Yue's residence and myself as the county prince, the couple together only had 200 households.
Life is always filled with some melancholy.
Aunt Wang saw that the county prince looked bad, so she advised him from the side: "The county prince will definitely be prosperous and wealthy."
"Yes, I only do good things and not bad things in the Tang Dynasty."
Zhang Yang spoke weakly, and as soon as the words came out, he stood up angrily and started chopping firewood, "Cheng Yaojin, you are determined that Qingshan will not relax, right?"
"That's too much!"
Seeing that her husband was losing his temper again, Li Yue withdrew her gaze and calmly read the book.
The children all went to the small palace, and it was rare for the family to be quiet. Aunt Yang and Little Bear took their daughter to play in the mountains and forests again.
In front of them, only Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui were checking the children's homework.
After a long time, when they get tired, they will sit upright with their eyes closed.
Zhang Yang struck him with another axe, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
The firewood shed at home is already full of firewood. After working on it for so long last night, my husband seems to have endless energy.
Li Yue took a sip of tea gracefully and said calmly, "Husband, we have enough firewood at home."
"Really?" Zhang Yang looked up at the woodshed and put the split wood in front of him into the woodshed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Little Bear, her daughter and Aunt Yang came back, she held a bouquet of flowers in her hand, "Mom, Huahua!"
Li Yue smiled and said: "Let it go."
"Yes." Xiao Qingqing obediently put down the flowers and let her aunt lead her to wash herself.
I don’t know where this girl went wild, there are still weeds in her hair.
The aunt patiently picked out the weeds from her hair. The little princess's hair was dark and thick, and her fair face was red after being dried by the sun.
She is very healthy, healthier than many children born in the womb.
Her Highness the Princess was born with poor health, but the little princess was different. She was very energetic right from her mother's womb.
This means that the princess is well maintained.
Usually, when a woman gives birth to a child at the age of fifteen or sixteen, her vitality is often severely damaged.
But Her Royal Highness did not have a little princess until she was over 20 years old, and her health recovered quickly after giving birth to the little princess.
Because you prepare well in advance, you are ready for a good body.
This little life is much healthier than ordinary children.
My aunt has been here for a long time and has seen a lot of certain things. There are also many children who died young. Even if they survive to adulthood, some of them are still weak and sickly.
Not as healthy as the little princess in front of me.
After she finished washing, she put on the skirt and looked like a fat baby. She was very cute and cute. Anyone who saw such a child would like it.
She likes to sit on the back of a bear, and her appearance when reading is more like a county prince. Her eyes are most like a county prince, especially when there is some cunning and greed in her eyebrows, just like her father.
I really can't imagine what kind of person this child will be if he inherits the skills of the county prince. And because he is so favored by the emperor, he may be someone who can control the wind and rain in Chang'an City in the future.
Zhang Yang is not interested in children's studies.
In this regard, Li Yue could only be a strict mother and urge her to study.
When she was punished by her mother, the little bear hid away unfaithfully. It did not dare to offend its mistress. It had been suppressed and feared since childhood. No matter how many years it took, it could not hide from its mistress.
Sanhema walked up Lishan Mountain again, drank the water from Huaqing Pool, and crouched under the eaves again.
I haven't seen it for two days. Zhang Yang combed its hair and whispered, "Where have you been these days? Fortunately, you still know the way home."
The horse snorted to show dissatisfaction.
Zhang Yang brushed the horse's back with more force, then checked it carefully and looked at its hooves. He was relieved after confirming that it was not injured.
There is a saddle on its back, which means that this war horse has an owner. The war horses under the Tianshan Mountains are always of the best breed.
The style of the saddle shows that its owner is a member of the royal family. Even if he runs far away alone, no one will disturb him.
Anyone who touches this horse will be arrested by the government.
If it eats other people's crops and tramples on the fields, someone will come to Chang'an City to ask the government for money and compensation. The word "Lishan" engraved on the saddle will know that this is Princess Runan's war horse on Lishan Mountain.
After resting for two hours, the horse left again.
It is a horse under the Tianshan Mountains. It would be a pity to keep it in a stable. Zhang Yang prefers that it can come and go as soon as he calls it. It is within the scope of Lishan Mountain and it can be free.
As Cheng Yaojin was granted the title of Duke, the status of Cheng Chumo, the eldest son, became even more important.
The eldest son has to inherit the title, so his marriage is even more important.
Trouble has come. With such a status, it will be even more difficult for the Cheng family to get involved in other people's family affairs.
"Are you still worried about the Cheng family's marriage?"
Li Yue saw through his thoughts at a glance. He talked about this matter last night. He couldn't take any time off today, so he took out the desk table again.
Need to change the tabletop.
"Well, things in the old Cheng family are difficult to deal with."
While Zhang Yang was talking, his hands began to disassemble the corners of the table.
This is what a husband is like when he is angry. He always has no time to spare, either chopping firewood until he has no strength left, or making furniture like now, or making some weird things.
After repairing the table, Zhang Yang used the remaining wood to make several pillows and distributed them to Shangguan Yi, the warrior Yu Yu, the Prince of Hejian County, and the teacher in the village.
The dog days of summer lasted for more than a month. All the wheat in the fields had been harvested, and now a lot of rice was planted.
As we all know, Lishan does not raise idle people, even the bears raised in Lishan can plow the land.
The villagers in Lishan are very hardworking.
Today is the day when cotton is delivered from Gaochang. Carloads of cotton are sent to Lishan. Cotton bombing is a unique craft and is not spread to others.
Of course, there are limitations to this non-publicity, and any rules under the imperial power have limitations.
Now Li Shimin was watching the women in the village wearing strange masks and playing cotton.
Zhang Yang accompanied His Majesty, "I need your Majesty's help with something."
After the dog days of summer, Lishan returned to normal work, which satisfied His Majesty. The more Lishan earned, the more taxes the court paid.
Li Shimin smiled and said: "You still have something you want me to help with? That's really strange."
After His Majesty left the cotton workshop, Zhang Yang said again: "Old Master Kong Yingda said that he was always pestered by General Cheng Yaojin and wanted to marry his granddaughter. I also tried to persuade him, but it was in vain."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "How can I help others with their family matters?"
Zhang Yang added: "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't need to say anything. He only needs a decree to strengthen the construction of honorable conduct in Chang'an City."
"Well, it looks like they beat up a lot of people, but in fact they are still targeting Zhijie." Li Shimin stopped again.
"Then His Majesty agreed?"
"Even if you say that I want to do this, the generals who fought together in the past are somewhat angry and should be beaten."
In the afternoon of that day, a decree was sent out of Lishan, and a decree to punish the nobles' behavior spread throughout Chang'an City.
Half a month later, Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to give up and stop pestering Kong Yingda.
Although Cheng Yaojin is a bastard, he also knows what to do and what not to do.
In the days that followed, Cheng Chumo was still helping the restaurant girl run the restaurant, and of course he had to take care of the braised pork gang from time to time.
The emperor was summering in Lishan Mountain, and he was not indifferent to everything. On this day, a group of people were taken to Dali Temple.
There was a case involving the children of the Sun Fujia family. After returning to Chang'an City, many people were sent to various places in Hedong and Hebei.
And on this day, several more people were escorted to Chang'an City.
Sun Fujia came to Lishan overnight to report the matter to His Majesty, and Li Shimin dismissed several local generals with a decree.
The matter involved the original robbery of prisoners to resist the imperial edict. Li Junxian personally took three thousand horses and went to various places overnight to capture people.
Zhang Yang is in Lishan these days, continuing to remain in seclusion and not paying attention to worldly affairs.
When I am not busy, I am giving lectures to children, or studying the firing device of muskets.
At this time, the usefulness of the spring is revealed. When the spring is released, the elastic force causes the firing device to contact, causing some sparks to ignite the oil cotton cloth.
Zhang Yang slapped his thigh and suddenly laughed crazily, "I'm really a genius."
Without the spring, it would be impossible to make such a good firing device. Lishan's starting point was right, and the three to five years of hard work have not been in vain.
Zhang Yang held up his wife's face and gave her a sip.
Feeling the hot palms of her husband, the rough hands were still a little dirty. After a moment of confusion, she found that there were still dirty fingerprints on her face, and she went to wash her face again in shame and anger.
The pleasure I felt in reading suddenly disappeared.
In normal life, Zhang Yang is like a saint, nothing can make his mood fluctuate too much.
When His Majesty dismissed many local generals, this incident caused an uproar in Chang'an City, and everyone was moved by it.
