After years of development, Li Min was not surprised that they were now able to produce a television.
After all, they could already build a projector.
TV sets are of course much more complicated than projectors, but they still have many similarities.
However, if you only have a TV, do you have a signal?
Do you have a show?
If there is only a TV set but no signal and no TV station, who will buy a TV set?
What else is there to buy a TV for?
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but ask: "What is the use of the TV sets you make?"
Hearing Li Min's words, Di Renjie couldn't help but blush.
Di Renjie was introduced to the concept of television by Li Min.
Now, the entire Tang Dynasty, except for a few remote areas such as Yunnan and Guizhou, has achieved electricity access.
All telephone lines have also been laid.
Di Renjie heard the concept of television from Li Min.
If you have a television, you can convey policies through the television.
The spread speed and coverage of television are much faster than that of newspapers. It can be said that there are many benefits.
However, they have no experience in this area at all.
Di Renjie learned all the scientific and technological concepts from his master.
Although now they have successfully developed and produced TV sets.
but--
Di Renjie couldn't help but said to Li Min: "Master, we have solved the signal problem. Now we are building a signal tower. It is estimated that the people in Chang'an City and Yizhou City can receive the signal."
There are only two cities. How dare you call them signal towers?
Li Min couldn't help but asked speechlessly: "Only two cities have signals? And, can the signals of these two cities be synchronized?"
Hearing Li Min's words, Di Renjie couldn't help but shook his head in embarrassment.
Li Min asked again speechlessly: "How far have you researched the current signal tower?"
"It can only be built one city at a time? And the signals in each city cannot be connected?"
When asked by Li Min, Di Renjie was embarrassed to speak and nodded awkwardly.
Oops!
How many stations do you need across the country?
Moreover, it is a place with its own stage and cannot be seen anywhere else.
Li Min couldn't help but said helplessly: "Well, my master, I will tell you a way to enhance the signal. If you strive for a Tao, you can share the same signal."
"Then, ten TV stations can be set up in the entire Tang Dynasty. As for the signal connection technology, I will also provide it to you. After you return, you can seize the time to study it."
Di Renjie said excitedly: "Yes, master, this is really great!"
"By the way, master, they have brought over the finished TV set they made. How about master take a look at it and give them some opinions?"
Li Min said with a dark face: "There is no signal now, can you see it? What do you want me to see?"
Um, that's right, there is no signal at all now, let alone any programs.
If you bring a TV, there is only a rustling screen flickering, what should you watch?
Soon, Li Min compiled the technology of signal strengthening and signal connection into a book and gave it to Di Renjie.
The rest will naturally be researched and produced by the Scientific Research Department and Scientific Research Institute.
Now, the number of scientific researchers in the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Research Institute has reached 20,000 to 30,000.
These two departments have already established many branches in the ten roads of Datang.
Each of these divisions has its own research topics.
They are independent of each other, but share the results.
Because it is protected by patent law, this is an emerging sector, so it is currently full of vitality.
The path of science has not only taken root throughout the Tang Dynasty, but has also sprouted and will soon grow into a towering tree.
After sending Di Renjie away, Li Min began to deal with the family guards.
The guards responsible for protecting Li Baoyu and Xiao Shitou were fired by Li Min and sent to the Yizhou army.
Those guards, perhaps because they had never had any trouble in Chang'an City.
They were so careless that they never thought that someone would snatch the children's toys.
But if Di Renjie were to be an assassin, then the lives of these two little guys would be in danger.
Therefore, Li Min must not be able to keep them anymore.
However, it did not lead to a big mistake, and Li Min did not punish them, but just sent them back to the army.
After the order was given, several guards came to kowtow goodbye to Li Min in shame.
While kowtowing, everyone burst into tears.
They were touched by the prince's generosity, but also hated themselves for neglecting their duties.
In the end, Li Min finally comforted them.
Next, Li Min strengthened his protection of his family.
Now, he is naturally in power, but he also has many secret enemies.
I don't know how many people wanted to kill him.
…
Today is the Chinese New Year, which makes Li Min feel that there is really no sense of the New Year.
When I was in Yizhou, there was winter fishing every year.
Winter fishing has become a signature festival in Yizhou.
Of course, the cities where winter fishing is now conducted are not limited to Yizhou.
Especially in cities in the north where the weather is cold and there are lakes, winter fishing has begun.
It has to be said that the wisdom of working people is infinite.
Although they don't have ultrasonic detectors like King Shu.
But with their experience, they are now able to accurately find fish nests.
And the winter fishing organized by various places is now conducted in a decent manner.
And it can also attract many people nearby to buy fish, and the price is also high.
In this way, they can increase their income and save time.
Because there is no need to fish at all in normal times, only a few days in winter are enough.
And the price is also higher than usual.
Of course, when it comes to the auction of fish, only Yizhou has such a scale.
After all, winter fishing first started here in Yizhou, which is the holy land of winter fishing.
In winter, there are many activities in Yizhou.
But in Chang'an, there are not so many activities.
Even Li Min himself feels that this new year is a bit boring.
Although the little ones were given a remote control electric car each.
But you can’t play with this toy all day long.
In this case, why not add a little more color to this year?
Next, Li Min ordered Jing Zhaoyi to organize people to install New Year trees in the entire streets of Chang'an.
This New Year tree is very similar to the Christmas tree of later generations.
Originally, there were trees on some streets in Chang'an City.
It's a pity that these trees are often seven or eight meters high. They are not ornamental trees for future generations and cannot be arranged.
New Year trees can only be made manually.
These New Year trees have green leaves and red flowers, and of course they are all made of Juan.
Moreover, Li Min installed flash lights on every tree.
The flash lamp has not yet appeared in Datang.
At present, Datang's technology tree has not reached this level yet.
In just three days, the entire city of Chang'an was decorated.
However, Li Min plans to turn on the flashlight on New Year's Eve, and then keep it on until the Lantern Festival.
In the Prince of Shu's palace, the lamp walls decorated by Li Min were even more brilliant.
Flash lights are installed in many places in the house.
At night, these little guys can't wait to let people light up their flashlights.
The flashing and colorful lights render the New Year tree even more beautiful.
The little guys were happily running around under the New Year tree. They were very happy.
Seeing this scene, Li Min also became happy.
As a result, on the second night, Li Min found that there was an extra guest at home.
Li Min didn't know this guest yet. She was a pretty and adorable little girl.
This little girl turned out to be a guest invited by Li Baoyu.
"Xuanxuan, how about it? Didn't I lie to you? Is the New Year tree beautiful?"
The little girl named Xuanxuan blinked her cute big eyes and said excitedly: "Wow, beautiful! So beautiful!"
A beautiful little girl came to the house, and all the boys suddenly started to feel shy.
They also wanted to go up and talk to the little girl, but they didn't dare.
Then, I can only use some exaggerated body movements in the hope of attracting the little girl's attention.
However, now that the little girl's attention is attracted to the New Year tree, where can she notice them?
Only the little guy Li Baoyu bravely stayed by the little girl's side and kept talking to her.
Of course, people are attracted by him in the first place.
"Xuanxuan, this snack is delicious, try it!"
After hearing what Li Baoyu said, Xuanxuan picked up a piece of snack and tasted it. It tasted really good.
"Well, not bad, the duck is really delicious! When you come to my house, I'll treat you to something too!"
"Good duck, can I go to your house to play with you tomorrow?"
"Okay!"
Oops!
How old is this little guy that he already knows how to pick up girls?
And which family does this little girl belong to?
If you can't find someone to celebrate the New Year, you might think you've lost it, and it would be a joke to start a fuss.
Thinking of this, Li Min quickly found Qin Mengxin and asked her: "Mengxin, which girl belongs to whose family? Send her back quickly. If they don't find her, it will be a joke if she spreads the word.
"
Qin Mengxin smiled slightly and said, "That little girl you said is the girl from the Yuchi family, the youngest daughter of Yuchi Baoqi."
"Husband, don't worry, the servants of Yuchi's family are here! They are also relieved after entering our house. They can just be lazy and are having tea outside!"
oh?
She is actually Yuchi Baoqi’s youngest daughter?
Huh?
I never thought that Yuchi Baoqi could actually give birth to such a cute baby girl?
Well, this little girl is not bad, she is my real daughter-in-law!
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but ask: "Meng Xin, what do you think of this little girl? I think these two little guys get along quite well! If you also like it, why not give them a marriage
Is it settled?"
Li Min came from a later generation and was against such things as wedding by fingertips and marriages arranged by parents.
But if two little guys are childhood sweethearts, it's another matter.
The main thing is that this is the fashion in this era!
If you don't hurry up, people won't wait for you, and they might marry into other families.
Of course, the main reason is that Li Baoyu is a boy.
For example, Li Rong and Li Xiang, Li Min would never get engaged to them since they were young.
They must wait until they grow up and let them choose their own husbands.
And Qin Mengxin, after hearing Li Min's words, couldn't help but look at Li Min with a half-smile, and then said:
"Husband, Baoyu, this child, has known how to make girls happy since he was a child. He really has a family background!"
Hearing Qin Mengxin's words, Li Min couldn't help but blush.
From what you said, it seems like I am very carefree.
The problem is, it doesn't.
My king’s daughter-in-law, who doesn’t admire my talents and knowledge and take the initiative to throw herself into my arms?
"Xuanxuan, this girl is really nice, I like her too! Oh, poor Haoran is so honest, otherwise, I really want to point it out to Haoran!"
Li Haoran is Qin Mengxin's son, and Li Baoyu is Xue Xiaoxiao's son.
However, Xuanxuan likes Baoyu, a playboy, and Qin Mengxin will definitely not do anything to steal her love.
Qin Mengxin smiled slightly and said: "Husband, I also like this girl very much! If husband likes her too, after the Chinese New Year, we might as well go to Yuchi Mansion to propose marriage."
Li Min couldn't help but nodded.
As long as they open their mouths, this marriage will most likely be successful.
Because Li Min and the Yuchi Mansion had a close relationship.
Li Min and Yuchi Baoqi are as close as brothers.
And if the Yuchi Mansion was not interested, would they let Xuanxuan, a little girl, enter someone else's house late at night?
…
On New Year's Eve, it happened to be snowing.
The snow is not heavy, but it does add a bit of splendor to New Year's Eve.
The flashlights on the street also lit up at this time.
White snowflakes are flying all over the sky, and colorful lights are flashing on the streets, making the New Year tree look particularly beautiful.
Countless people flocked to the streets to enjoy this rare beauty.
The entire city of Chang'an is filled with a strong festive atmosphere.
After the New Year, the little guy Li Baoyu actually secretly went to Yuchi's house to be a guest, and stayed there all day long before returning home.
Although the protection of men and women in the Tang Dynasty was far lighter than that of the later dynasties.
After Li Min arrived, things became even more relaxed.
But there is still some after all.
If this continues, I'm afraid someone will gossip behind my back.
The next day, when he saw Li Baoyu sneaking around and trying to sneak out, Li Min smiled helplessly.
"Baoyu, come here!"
Hearing his father's words, Li Baoyu couldn't help but shrink his head in fright and walked over timidly.
"Dad, are you looking for me?"
Li Min looked at Li Baoyu and asked expressionlessly: "Baoyu, you are not young now. I am going to arrange a marriage for you. What do you think?"
As soon as he heard this, Li Baoyu immediately became anxious. He shook his head like a rattle and said hurriedly: "Dad, as the saying goes, a real man has his ambitions in all directions! I haven't made any achievements yet. I'm still young. Don't, don't!"
Seeing the little guy's appearance, Li Min suppressed his laughter and asked, "You really don't want to?"
Li Baoyu nodded repeatedly and said: "No, I really don't!"
Li Min couldn't help but sigh and said: "You are so ambitious, and it's hard for me to force myself as a father. Originally, my father saw that the girl from Yuchi's family was pretty good, and was planning to get engaged for you. Since you don't want it, forget it!"
"What?"
Li Baoyu's eyes widened and he couldn't help but asked in surprise and joy: "Dad, are you talking about Xuanxuan? You, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Yes, yes! I am willing! I thought it was someone else! If it were her, I would be absolutely willing! Dad, you didn't tell me earlier!"
Seeing what the little guy looked like, Li Min couldn't help but growl and growl.
Li Min's wives also pursed their lips and snickered.
However, Li Baoyu raised his hand and scratched his head and smiled, not shy at all.
His mother, Xue Xiaoxiao, is very thin-skinned and easily shy.
I didn't expect this guy to be so shameless. I really don't know who he looks like.
After teasing the little guy, Li Min was ready to propose marriage.
Yuchi Baoqi and several others are now building a navy.
However, during the Chinese New Year, Yuchi Baoqi and Cheng Chuliang went home to celebrate the new year.
They couldn't all come back, someone had to stay behind, so they took turns going home.
But this time, it happened to be Yuchi Baoqi and Cheng Chuliang's turn.
Then, at the end of the year, Li Min treated Yuchi Baoqi and Cheng Chuliang to a banquet.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Li Min began to propose marriage to Yuchi Baoqi.
Yuchi Baoqi did not hesitate and agreed immediately on the spot.
And seeing their two families becoming in-laws, Cheng Chuliang felt a little bit disgusted.
Cheng Chuliang chuckled and said: "Your Highness, you know that my Heizi is very strong and brave! In the future, his martial arts skills will definitely surpass that of my father!"
"I think Rong'er is a pretty girl. I'd also like to propose a marriage to our Heizi. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Cheng Chuliang learned the title dad from Li Min.
And this title has now begun to spread among the aristocratic circles.
I'm afraid it won't take long for it to gradually spread.
As for Cheng Chuliang's son, he was named Xiaohei, which was a puppy's name, and Li Min was unable to complain.
This little guy is chubby and very strong, and he has the air of being a father.
However, Li Min really didn't like it.
Therefore, Li Min smiled and said: "Chu Liang, they are still young. It is too early to talk about this now. Let's wait until they are older."
Still young?
Li Rong and Li Baoyu are obviously the same age, right?
Of course, Cheng Chuliang also knew that they must have failed to take a liking to his boy, so he rolled his eyes in anger.
Li Min continued: "Chu Liang, what do you think of Rui'er? I've been having a lot of fun with your Huahua these days, why not just let them make a marriage arrangement?"
Huahua is Cheng Chuliang's daughter.
Just this name, does it sound like a girl’s name?
Li Min really didn't know how to complain about this family's naming skills.
But this little girl is actually smart, cute, and innocent.
After the Chinese New Year, several families moved around more frequently.
Li Rui and this girl Huahua are very good at playing together.
Li Min also likes this girl quite a lot.
Hearing Li Min's marriage proposal, Cheng Chuliang rolled his eyes again.
Oops!
what does it mean?
You look down on my little boy, but you fall in love with my daughter?
Cheng Chuliang was very angry and almost refused outright.
But in the end, he agreed angrily.
After all, he has seen Li Rui, he is quite good, and he is definitely a good match for Huahua.
…
Before I knew it, the Lantern Festival had passed.
All walks of life and the imperial government began to operate formally.
At this time, Li Min, the king of Shu, wrote again and resigned from the post of Shangshu Ling because his illness worsened.
Is the condition getting worse?
When it snowed a few days ago, I saw him with his wife and children, sitting on a dog pulling a sledge, and having a lot of fun!
This condition has worsened, and everyone knows what is going on. It is just an evasion.
However, all civil and military officials expressed their understanding of the King of Shu's insistence on resigning from the post of Shangshu Ling.
After all, the King of Shu is now too favored and too powerful.
This is not a good thing for the country or the family.
Although the King of Shu and the Emperor are brothers, they trust each other and have no suspicion.
But do all the people under the King of Shu think so?
If something happens, it won't end well.
After receiving the resignation from the King of Shu, the emperor did not agree, but directly called the King of Shu into the palace.
When the King of Shu came to the Imperial Study Room, before he could salute, Li Ke asked angrily: "Sixth Brother, are you resigning because you are afraid that being a brother will be detrimental to you?"
Li Min saluted with a smile, and then said calmly: "Your Majesty, the position of Shangshuling is high and powerful. When my father was alive, no one had ever held this position."
"So, this position should have been vacant in the first place. But when the imperial brother just ascended the throne, he gave the important task to my younger brother. My younger brother did not refuse it at first."
"But now, I feel that there is no need to continue to hold this position."
"Shang Shu Ling, we must focus on the overall situation. In a country, there are many complicated things, no matter how big or small, that need to be worried about."
"And this is not what my brother is good at."
"My strengths are not in this, and I am also very lazy. Brother Huang, you know that."
"If the emperor encounters any problem, my brother will naturally come out to help the emperor solve it. What does the emperor think?"
After listening to Li Min's words, Li Ke couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Of course Li Ke knew that with Li Min's talents, he was naturally qualified for the position of Shangshu Ling.
However, Shangshu Ling has many things to do every day, and the work is extremely cumbersome.
Although he has great power, he rarely has free time all day long.
As for Sixth Brother's lazy temperament, he really doesn't want to take up this position.
But once any problem is encountered that is not easy to solve, he can be appointed as the imperial envoy to deal with it at any time.
This is an excellent method.
Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help but said with a smile: "Sixth brother, it was for this reason that you didn't become the emperor yourself, but gave the throne to me, right? In fact, why don't I want to be a free prince?
?”
After hearing the emperor's words, Li Min quickly stood up in fear and said: "Brother Emperor, this is absolutely impossible to say. Brother Emperor is both civil and military and is the best among many brothers. It was my father who chose Brother Emperor! This is incredible.
Brother Chen, it doesn’t matter at all!”
Li Ke couldn't help laughing, pointed at Li Min and said: "Sixth brother, you, you! Don't I know you yet? Well, I agree to your request."
Li Min couldn't help but said with great joy: "Thank you so much, brother!"
Li Ke smiled slightly again and said: "But now I have encountered another problem and I need my sixth brother to solve it!"
Hearing the emperor's words, Li Min couldn't help but show a bitter look on his face.
