"For ten artillery pieces, he spent so much iron ore and two thousand guan of silver. It took me a year to build the Taiye Pond but he still hasn't found anything yet. Fortunately, he is living a prosperous life every day."
Queen Changsun sighed, life in the palace would be difficult in the future.
I thought back then, but I didn’t expect it now.
In order to solve the embarrassing situation between the DPRK and the Central Government, Zhang Yang did a lot of things to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, which helped the DPRK and the Central Government to tide over the difficulties. After that, the expenses in the palace were not much relaxed.
When Li Shimin arrived at Lishan Mountain, he saw a group of children lying in the sun and taking a nap. The water from the upstream hot spring pool continued to flow into the Huaqing Pool. Water continued to flow out of the hill, forming a small waterfall. If you look carefully, you can see several
Statue of a bear cub.
The bear-sized statue is still standing in Huaqing Pool, and there is no intention to continue to carve it out. This stone statue is still the same as in previous years, and the bear does not look like a bear.
Li Shimin walked around Huaqing Pool and walked to the house where the children were still asleep.
Li Yue hurriedly greeted him and saluted, "Father, Emperor, Mother."
Queen Changsun smiled and said: "Where is Zhang Yang?"
"My husband is busy in the workshop."
Dongyang said again: "My father said that the acres of land cultivated in Guanzhong are enough. How can we further cultivate them?"
Several people looked at each other and said something to each other. The leader of the craftsman was a middle-aged woman with half white hair and beard. "Master Han Qiao, you and other craftsmen like Yan are just here to help Lishan. If you help Lishan build a bad house, you will go back."
"
King Wei sighed: "It's used. Just say it once."
After sitting for an hour from noon to now, Yan Liben was no longer sleepy. Although he was sleepy, he had something to say, "He told me how to make artillery?"
"Those people in the Li Tai Hall are masons, stonemasons, and carpenters. They are good at building houses, but they are also bad people and have bad craftsmanship."
Xiong Xiao shook his body fat and ran towards the fields first.
Han Qiao scratched his head and disassembled the flywheel of the lathe, replaced it with a larger flywheel, and continued polishing.
"Well! You win."
"The cutting technology is not so inconsistent. With lathes and Lishan's casting technology, it is obvious that it can be made. The required iron materials are all low-grade fine iron cast by Lishan."
Seeing that it had lost its temper, King Wei cursed angrily: "Is it difficult for you to raise him so young?"
After that, Li Shimin lifted up his bamboo hat and tried to cover his face, "I will go back first."
As long as Han Qiao returns the person after using it, it doesn't matter.
"Is the artillery really not as powerful as he said?"
King Wei said again: "Even if your Majesty comes to Lishan to eat every day, you will get back so little money."
Han Qiao looked up at the drawing and measured it with the ruler in his hand.
"If they can come to Lishan, Lishan can't give them 700 yuan a month and arrange accommodation. When the construction of the academy is destroyed, they will stay in Lishan and teach students skills outside the academy, build houses, roads, and bridges.
It’s both possible.”
The little bear also jumped into the pool. The owner outside the home hated hot water baths and he also hated it.
"I, the king, must bear this in mind."
"So, Li Tai said that the ruler was made from Lishan Mountain, so it is called Lishan Ruler."
Seeing what Li Tai was going to say, Li Shimin quickly waved his hand and said: "I hope that the academy built by Li Tai will be ruined. Those craftsmen will be returned to the Ministry of Works, and we will be asked to build a palace for Your Majesty in the future."
Turning around to leave, he waved his hand again and said: "Master Li Tai, please don't send me away, don't send me away."
The eight craftsmen present discussed loudly.
There was a grumpy smile on Li Yue's face, which could be less friendly than less affectionate. "As far as I know, their salary at the Ministry of Industry is eighty yuan a month. Although they usually go out to buy wood, stone, or recruit laborers,
Can you earn some scraps from it, less than a hundred a month?"
Several people talked to each other again.
"Let him go and supervise the young slave to do his homework."
Before the King of Wei took the measurement, he sighed and threw away the parts in his hands, and made another defective product.
The fight was inextricable in Huaqing Pool...
Let alone casting, the craftsmen in the Ministry of Engineering had difficulty reading those drawings. Not many of them could even understand such simple drawings as lines, let alone casting.
The compression screw of the artillery primer is a very delicate part. If the size is just a few centimeters different, it will be difficult to explode the chamber.
It can be seen that whether this bear really takes advantage of it, there is no one who can be its opponent.
Aunt Yang advised: "That's how raising animals is. Now that it has grown so small, the county prince needs to fight it to release its ferocious nature."
The bear turned over and Han Qiao fell into the water again.
King Wei took off his gloves and picked up the small tea cup beside him, "Even if Your Majesty obtained the drawings, he would be able to produce such fine parts using the craftsmanship of the imperial court."
"I always feel that building ten cannons requires so little iron ore and silver."
It's strange if you want, Li Yue moved her with emotion, Xiaozhi with reason, and then resorted to cruel tricks, and had a miserable life with his own concubine Li Tai.
Dongyang helped organize the books, and you put the books back to their original positions according to the labels, "But there is no Hangu Pass in Chang'an City. Hangu Pass is one of the most powerful passes in the sky. Grandpa Huang does not occupy Hangu Pass, but his father is known as Hangu Pass."
Hangu Pass is the front, retreating to Hebei in the east and going to Yangzhou in the south."
Let Dongyang explain to Yan Liben the causes of flash floods, and at most he would advise me to pay attention to the soil and water.
The children had just woken up. Dongyang followed his brother-in-law's steps sleepily, "I told my father about the cause of the flash flood."
In the workshop, Zhang Yang was polishing some ironware while wearing a mask.
Li Yue nodded heavily, his expression less solemn, "His father should have come up from the court. I am a craftsman, but I know how to survive in the court."
Li Shimin was shaken, and the conscience of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who had always been responsible for his duties, was also corrupted. He stopped using his power and mobilized manpower to bring eight craftsmen to Lishan.
Before admitting the ambiguity, the Tian Khan put the soup bowl on the table and sat down on the side, watching how the big man used the lathe and how to make firearms.
Noticing the weird and ingenious ruler, he asked, "What is he measuring?"
Today is the Jingzhe, a time when all things revive. King Wei took Xiong Xiao up the mountain and said, "Today you take him to plow the land."
To finish the soup in the bowl in one breath is to deny the fact that two thousand gu of silver, plus these iron materials, can indeed be eaten with one mouth.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! We have never had such a sumptuous meal. Although mutton is cheap, we will feel tired after eating less.
There was some beef soup in the pot, so I poured myself a bowl.
The bear is willing to climb down its front and back again.
When the plow was hitched to it, the king of Wei sat on its back and drove it to plow the land.
"bad."
King Wei pushed the pull rod with one hand, quickly brought the iron pestle in the fixture close to the flywheel, polished it for a while, and then measured it with a ruler.
The first person and the bear were all tired. King Wei's body was missing a few red marks from bears, and King Wei's hands were missing a few bear hairs.
Aunt Yang nodded, "This way it can be more obedient."
King Wei put on his clean clothes and "had a fight with the bear."
After taking a look at the food on the table, Li Shimin lost interest and was full after eating walnuts.
Yan Liben nodded and said, "He is the only one who can create this thing?"
It opened my eyes for a moment. No one was riding on the back of a bear and letting it plow the fields.
That girl jumped away. You will feel a great sense of accomplishment by helping your brother-in-law.
Only the officers and soldiers guarding the village looked at him one after another.
"Your Majesty, the principle of this object is very different from that of fireworks. It is also the same as the powder barrel you made. It is just that the power of the cannon is smaller and the structure is more ambiguous."
King Wei walked into the library and nodded, "We think that the land is wrong for growing food, but have we never thought that the land in Guanzhong is becoming more and more barren, and the yellow sand sweeping through Longzuo will even float to Jingyang to the west of Chang'an, plus the Jinghe River
The water level rises every year, and in a few years the well water in Chang'an City will taste bad."
Xiaguan Yi has not yet chosen the place to build the academy, which is located outside Guandao in Lishan Village.
After letting the eighty-two guards leave, Li Yue straightened her clothes and toasted the craftsmen.
Li Yue took us into the village and asked the guards to surround us.
Seeing that we had been discussing for a long time but there was no reply, Han Qiao put away her smile and said, "Everyone, how about having a meal first and then going to see where the academy is going to be built?"
You grinned, "If brother-in-law is still fine, just tell Dongyang."
King Wei recorded today's results in his book and walked out of the workshop.
Zhang Yang applied cold water to the red marks on his husband's back. They were all scratched by the bear. Even if there was no blood, there were still faint traces of blood.
The little bear snarled and raised his paw.
Yan Liben drank the broth and saw whether the big man noticed him or not, so he kept watching.
The more we drank and forgot ourselves, the worse Li Yue's mood became. When those people were drunk, he asked his guards to take us to rest.
Li Shimin took another look at his son and daughter, who were lying on the ground and sleeping in the sun. They were covered with thin blankets.
King Wei relaxed his back and sat up.
In front of its master, it sat squatting with its head held high, looking aggrieved.
But at this moment, behind Lishan Village, the excitement on Li Yue's face had long since dissipated, and he was looking excited, "How much were their original wages and salaries at the Ministry of Industry?"
"Is it like this Di Zhisun who planted trees in the Hexi Corridor and was repeatedly impeached by the government?"
"He said 伱! Whatever Qingqing wants to do, he will lead you to do it. Why does he listen to you in everything?"
The next day, King Wei scratched the wound from yesterday and threw a piece of beef with soy sauce to Xiao Xiong.
I had a fight with a bear yesterday and it became a little docile.
We sat around a long table, with pots of food placed under the table. There was no meat or vegetables. Although it was still early spring, I thought there would be no vegetables in Lishan, let alone drinks.
King Wei smiled and explained: "This thing is called a vernier caliper. If it is not cast, it is a ruler."
Seeing her husband walking back into the house wet, Zhang Yang was surprised and asked: "Husband, what happened?"
The emperor was still on vacation in Mount Li, and the small court meeting in the court was postponed to the spring equinox.
"Your Majesty, are you here again?"
"Well, spare him once." You waved your fist.
Li Shimin walked away slowly.
The water in Huaqing Pool is not filled until dusk. When the pool is full, the water surface becomes intense.
Li Shimin felt guilty for being an official, so he dared not drink any more.
Seeing the bear swimming towards him, King Wei climbed under the bear's back. Its narrow and thick back was very comfortable.
"He should have been so young. There were not many lowly people in this world."
"Brother-in-law, do you need to retreat to my father?"
Only then did he notice His Majesty standing aside.
"That's wrong. Craftsmen are very precise in their creations."
No craftsman was relieved on the spot, "What is that doing in the Li Tai Palace?"
"Then go ahead and make arrangements. Mr. Li Tai's methods are incompetent."
It is said that Lord Han Qiao is worried about the construction of the academy. Li Shimin, who has always been an upright man and an official, used his power for the first time to seek personal gain for his son-in-law, Lord Li Tai.
King Wei pointed to the drawing hanging under the wall, "Your Majesty, please take a look at the primer device. If you master that device, you will have mastered the core technology of artillery."
After a busy day in the workshop, he put the drawings in the library for sorting. After a busy day, Han Qiao jumped into the pool, lay flat and looked up at the dusk sky, washing away the fatigue of that day.
Yan Liben showed a confused look on his face, "The Qingque kid named it randomly, this thing should be called Zhenguan Ruler."
It must be said that the man got into trouble. It all depends on whether the bear misled the child.
"What he said is indeed wrong. Therefore, if Guanzhong is to be governed, the Qinchuan Plain will continue to deteriorate."
Li Yue held Li Shimin's hand melancholy, her eyes almost filled with emotion and almost bursting into tears, "You are really..."
Lishan's skills were as good as the moat. Yan Liben felt that the drawing looked simple, and he understood why the drawing was drawn like that. He felt that it was interesting and stood up and left.
"If you go up like that, you will definitely strain your lumbar muscles."
And added.
Concubine Li Tai walked out of the house and said, "Your Majesty, has father made all the arrangements?"
You swing the bamboo stick to hit the bear's body, but it's a pity that such a thin bamboo stick will cause no harm to it.
"Well, my brother-in-law taught me badly."
While drinking broth, Li Shimin came to the workshop with a bowl.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Knowing that his father was involved in a fight with Xiao Xiong, the man held up a bamboo stick and lectured Xiao Xiong, "Let him bully dad!"
"In fact, as early as the Han Dynasty, Luoyang was repeatedly mentioned as a capital city. Before the Han Dynasty, there was no imperial palace built in Luoyang, and there are no ruins now. From then on, no one said that Guanzhong was already barren and was suitable for building a capital."
In the village, Li Yue looked at the craftsmen brought by Li Shimin with a smile on her face and wanted to take them to have a drink.
Han Qiao nodded, but His Majesty didn't mention anything just now.
The bear was actually very weak, so it was difficult to plow the fields, and the villagers were not used to the bear being able to plow.
Seeing everyone eating, Li Yue walked away a little, waved to a guard, and shouted loudly: "Go and find out where the craftsmen live, take your family members to Lishan, and then check ours."
Favors come and go.”
Da Qingqing said aggrievedly: "Really?"
"There is not much barren land in Guanzhong that can be used to grow food, but it cannot be used to grow trees, such as poplar trees."
When using the lathe, you need to bend down and exert force. Every time you use it for an hour, your back will straighten out from exhaustion.
Although Han Qiao never asked Li Shimin for help, she often read the man's letters.
Yan Liben looked at the drawings and said the strongest words.
A man and a bear started fighting outside the water. King Wei pressed the bear on the water, and the bear pushed it away with his paws. As soon as the bear entered the water, its hair was rough and it was difficult to grasp, which was a bad move.
