Chapter 651: The reason why His Majesty ignored Lishan
The prince replied in a low voice: "The spy in Lishan is rewarded like this."
Li Shimin took a sip of warm tea and said, "He is actually willing to take the children to apologize. I have never seen him behave like this in front of me."
After hearing His Majesty's words, he bowed and left after seeing that he had no further instructions.
The little eunuch in front of the palace asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you think it is a good thing for the county prince to take the princesses to apologize, so that the princesses can be sensible."
"Don't talk too much and don't speculate on His Majesty's thoughts."
The little eunuch lowered his head and said nothing.
In fact, your majesty wants to subdue Zhang Yang. Now that your majesty is in his prime, and the county prince is still young, the two monarchs and ministers are now tired of each other, not to mention turning against each other.
Let us also say that the county marquis is willing to take the princess to apologize to the old master Kong Yingda. At least the county marquis bows his head to admit his mistake, obeys and surrenders to His Majesty.
The relationship between His Majesty and the county princes has not been eased to this day.
So much so that the county prince has now taken refuge in Lishan Mountain and no longer interferes with political affairs.
As for His Majesty, he not only wanted to take away the power of the Protectorate of the Ministry of Rites, but also wanted to remove the county prince from his position as Minister of Rites, and transferred him to Taifu Temple.
Some people in the court said that the county prince had received a cold reception from his majesty. There were some things that the prince knew in his heart, but he would not say it directly or clearly.
Not many people know about the conflict between His Majesty and the county princes, and cannot say much about it.
Who knows what His Majesty is thinking, but His Majesty is getting more and more thoughtful now.
There are many eyeliners arranged around Lishan. These eyeliners are watching every move of Lishan. However, the population of Lishan Village is not large now. They are all acquaintances. It is not easy to arrange eyeliners. Only the guards of His Highness King Wei are inside Lishan.
.
For other news, we can only wait for the informants outside Lishan to arrive.
The county princes have known about these informants for a long time, but they have never said it clearly or taken care of it. With the development of Lishan, some creatures knew that they had created them, but the court still did not understand the principles, let alone follow them.
Create another one.
This is also the reason why His Majesty is upset. It seems that the county prince just let those informants see it, and just let His Majesty see it.
This is the result of Lishan’s long-term technological research.
This kind of achievement cannot be imitated or recreated.
At this moment in Lishan, Li Tai built a small water tank. Due to the excessive internal pressure, the water tank exploded and several guards suffered some injuries. Fortunately, they were all minor burns.
Li Tai was eating at the time, but fortunately he escaped.
"I was too greedy. I pressed the air pressure too tightly and the internal pressure could not be released."
Li Tai summed up his experience, opened his drawing and started making modifications, "You can't make the air holes too small."
After the pot of hot water cooled down, Li Tai picked up the copper pipe on the ground. The inner wall of the copper pipe was too thick.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking at the mess on the ground, Li Tai whispered: "Go to the hospital for treatment of the injured, and clean up the rest."
The most important thing is that the copper pipe needs to be recast. Li Tai looked sad and encountered another technical problem.
The wall of the copper pipe needs to be thinner. If the wall of the copper pipe is too thick, the situation just now is more likely to occur.
The guard picked up the copper pipe on the ground and said, "Your Highness, King Wei, you have spent a lot of money just buying and selling fine copper to the court. Do you want to continue buying it?"
Li Tai nodded in response, "Of course I will buy it."
The guard lowered his body and replied: "Your Highness, King Wei, we have already spent a thousand coins on these fine coppers."
Li Tai gritted his teeth and said: "Buy! Even if it costs ten thousand guan or one hundred thousand guan, I will make this thing."
If this experiment never succeeds, this is a bottomless pit and money needs to be invested all the time.
Finally, this thing has some clues, and I have to build it no matter what.
Li Tai made up his mind, "This thing must be built. It has finally achieved some results. If I give up now, I will never sleep well in my life."
The guard nodded and said: "I'll take care of my humble job now."
His Royal Highness the King of Wei is determined, and the guards are also determined, so this steam engine will be built no matter what.
A water tank half as tall as a man is not successful, let alone a steam engine the size of a house.
The current drawings are no longer drawings. Li Tai has a large book in his hand. This book is half a person tall and has forty or fifty pages.
The pictures drawn on these pages are diagrams of steam engines.
The complicated drawings have many parts drawn on them.
Li Tai tore off one of the pages and scrapped it. He wanted to redraw some parts and structures. "Some details were not done well, so I had to tear it down and start over."
"Here."
The collected copper pipes were blown into pieces and were handed over to the blacksmith for re-casting.
After hearing the news about the failure of Li Tai's experiment, Zhang Yang felt very calm. One thing needs to be demonstrated and calculated repeatedly from scratch.
The casting of flintlock muskets also encountered difficulties.
Zhang Yang felt that when his flintlock gun was successful, his steam engine would probably be successful as well.
I continued to go back to my own workshop and was busy. During this period, I also thought about increasing the size of the flintlock gun. It would be easier to cast the parts after enlarging them.
But it seems that even increasing the size of the flintlock gun will actually lead to a decrease in range and accuracy.
Zhang Yang polished the parts in his hands. The smaller the space in the gun chamber, the better. The same amount of ratio would produce greater thrust in a relatively small space.
My daughter was rocking the Twister at the door of the workshop, with five little milk bears following her. Wherever she went, the little milk bears followed her.
It’s her birthday this year, and this little girl will be two years old.
Her lotus-like arms struggled to shake the steering wheel. When she encountered a downhill slope, she would cheer when she quickly slid down.
He also named several bears.
The little bear was named Ah Da by her, followed by Ah Er, Ah San, Ah Si, Ah Wu... in descending order.
Because she couldn't count many, she faltered when she counted to thirty.
My daughter-in-law cares most about her daughter's growth and has the strictest requirements.
Zhang Yang actually thinks that she is still young, as long as she grows up without any worries, that's all.
Put a whetstone into the lathe, rotate it with the wheel on the side, then fix the part on top and fix it with iron rivets.
Just like this, after repeated pushing and pulling, some iron powder was left on the part above the whetstone. Pull out the iron rivet again, measure the size, and the radius is considered appropriate.
Press it against the spring of the flintlock gun, press the trigger, and there will be a crisp sound.
Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the accuracy this time was enough. He picked up the charcoal pen on his ear and marked it on the drawing.
Next is the problem of the inner wall of the gun bore.
After working for a long time, Zhang Yang took off his cloth gloves and washed them thoroughly before returning to the house.
Peeling off the dead skin from the calluses on his palms, Zhang Yang frowned and recalled the knowledge about the properties of various metals.
It's not difficult to say that. Fortunately, there is a spring now, and a flintlock gun cannot do without a spring.
Using the mechanical energy storage of the spring to trigger the firing device is definitely the right direction.
However, it is still a technical difficulty to fire the front strike and cover the fire door cover that protects the fire door below.
In order to make ignition more stable, it is even planned to use the principle of later generations of grinding wheel lighters for ignition, so that the contact surface of the sparks will be wider and there will be more sparks, thereby avoiding ignition failure.
Whenever he thinks about this, Zhang Yang feels like his head is getting big, and he whispers: "It is indeed more relaxing to grow vegetables."
"Auntie said that my husband has planted a lot of vegetable seedlings on the ridge of the field. Do you want to plant them again now?" Li Yue, who had just arrived with snacks, asked in confusion.
"You understand wrong. I am cultivating vegetables to make them more suitable for the soil in Guanzhong."
"This is the cake I just made, please try it."
Picking up a piece and taking a bite, Zhang Yang tasted it carefully, "It tastes like steamed buns, very fluffy, not bad."
"Really?" Li Yue tasted it after hearing this, and then her face fell, "There is no taste at all."
"The more you chew, the sweeter it will be."
Li Yue chewed for a while, "I suddenly want to eat cake, but I can't make it myself."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Actually, it's quite good. We have soft steamed buns in the Tang Dynasty. If we send the secret recipe to the court, we might be able to use them as military rations."
My wife is pregnant with a baby, and her appetite changes greatly, just like the weather in June.
I suddenly want to eat sour food, suddenly I want to eat sweet food, my mouth is bland and I want to eat something heavy and salty. I finally have an appetite and suddenly want to eat some cake.
Zhang Yang stood up and said, "I'll do it for you."
"good."
Li Yue nodded heavily.
It has been snowing for half a month, and the children can finally have a snowball fight, and the chicken and duck pen in Lantian County has been completed.
Recently, I often go to see the teacher and ask about some things about Taifu Temple.
Shangguan Yi was talking to the side about the construction of chicken and duck pens.
Zhang Gongjin looked at the words on the chessboard, and sighed with disappointment as the defeat was determined: "Playing chess with you is always like this, it's really boring. Now that the chicken and duck pen has been completed, you go and take a look, and it will benefit the people of the county. You
If the county lord doesn't go there, they won't know who the master's family is."
"Teacher, I don't care about these false names the least. You know me best."
"Having said that, Lantian County is not Lishan. It has been so many years since Lishan went from a run-down village to now, and people's hearts have naturally moved towards it."
Putting down the chess pieces in his hands, Zhang Yang stood up helplessly, "The teacher said so, I'll go and take a look."
In fact, the chicken and duck pens installed in Lantian County are not far from Lishan Mountain, just one mile away.
The breeding farm is located in the lower reaches of the Weishui River, and there are many villagers surrounding it. When they saw Shangguan Yi coming, the villagers gave way.
Zhang Yang became unhappy when he looked at the simple chicken shed and duck pen.
"Brother Shangguan, did you preside over the construction of this?"
Shangguan Yi explained: "This place has been built by Chu Nan, the county magistrate of Lantian County. This is the first time that Xiaguan comes to see it."
Knowing that the county marquis was coming, the county magistrate Chu Nan hurriedly came to meet him, and with three or five other officials, he bowed and saluted, "The county magistrate has met the county marquis and met the young minister."
When they learned that the person in front of them was the rumored Marquis of Lishan County, they all started talking in low voices.
All the surrounding villages and counties know that Lishan is rich because of this county prince. No one wants to be rich.
Moreover, there are often discussions in the surrounding villages and counties, saying that Lishan has become rich, while Lantian County is the fiefdom of the county prince and the princess, and has never become rich.
There have been such discussions, which led to the residents of Lantian County being more or less prejudiced against this county prince.
Of course, being a county prince is mainly about getting food and fief, and the prosperity of a place has nothing to do with the county prince.
Zhang Yang had lived in Lishan for a long time, so it was good that he didn't come to get food and stipends, let alone the construction of Lantian County.
As for the construction of Lantian County, it has nothing to do with Zhang Yang.
People's hearts are complex, and dealing with what people's hearts want is even more complicated.
Zhang Yang looked at Chu Nan. This county magistrate usually interacted with Shangguan Yi. He had not seen him since he first got the food.
Communication between villages and counties is also arranged by Shangguan Yi.
Zhang Yang walked around the chicken shed and duck pen and asked, "If you want to overthrow it, build it again."
Chu Nan looked embarrassed when he heard this, "County Marquis, it took a month to complete this place."
"Shangguanyi, please take him to our chicken and duck pen when you have time. The most important thing for raising chickens and ducks is hygiene. Your chicken shed is too small and the air is not circulating. How to deal with the feces? Besides, this duck pen,
The duck pen is so low that no one can get in, and there is no feeding trough inside. How to get in and take care of it..."
Chu Suiliang wrote down these words one by one.
"Also, your chicken shed and duck pen are not big enough. According to my previous idea, it should cover an area of two and a half acres. Yours seems to be only one acre. How about expanding the breeding?"
Chu Nan also had his own difficulties regarding this matter, so he said: "This acre of land is originally wasteland. If a lower official uses the land without permission, and the court comes to ask questions, this... this will not be easy to deal with."
Shangguan Yi nodded, "I do have this concern."
After discussing the problem with Chu Nan first, the breeding farms in Lantian County are still empty and cannot be officially started yet.
Zhang Yang’s expectation is that the breeding farm should be closer to modernization.
When he returned home, he began to write a memorial asking Li Shimin to relax his land use rights, which would at least provide convenience to Lantian County.
But after the memorial was sent to the court, there was no reply. There was no news for three consecutive days.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I have to write another one to fully explain the benefits of breeding industry. Let Lantian County try it out for three years, and write the name of my wife’s steamed buns, which can be used as
Military rations can also be sent to every household to make rations.
In two months, the Lishan County Marquis actually wrote four memorials.
There was a lot of discussion in the court about who this county prince was, but he didn't even write a memorial in a year.
Now I have written four copies in just two months. Is this really a big change?
Yan Liben has been presiding over the excavation of Taiye Pond these days. Zhang Yang, the person who supervised the construction, has never been here, but the accounts have always been very clear. The first phase of fortifications will be completed in the spring of this year. I was going to see him when I heard
Three or five civil servants gathered together to discuss.
After writing four memorials in two months, Yan Liben thought about it and realized that this was really the case. He had never seen him write a memorial before.
As for why Zhang Yang's memorial was sent to the court and there was no response, there is actually a reason.
The reason is that everyone is competing for the authority of the Protectorate. From the end of last year to the New Year, there has been no result, so they have been enduring until now.
No, His Majesty just made a probing statement, which led to a quarrel between the civil and military parties. The civil and military ministers in the Taiji Hall were still fighting for more than an hour, and the guards outside the hall looked numb. They have not seen anything yet.
Victory or defeat.
"Everyone, stop it!" Li Shimin shouted, "Look at what you all look like."
Wei Zheng, who was blowing his beard and staring, fought Cheng Yaojin the most fiercely. The sleeves of his official uniform were torn and his official hat was gone.
Li Shimin threw aside Zhang Yang's second breeding trial plan. When did he talk to Li Shan about this?
