After more than half a year of training, all the officers and men of the eight artillery brigades of Datang are skilled in technology and can hit targets relatively accurately, especially after being equipped with advanced breech guns, with the help of aiming telescope observation, the artillery is more accurate.

However, all artillery drills and exercises are on a stable ground, and there is nothing wrong with accurate artillery fire, but what about the technology of these artillery pieces if they are on a bumpy and undulating sea? This is still an unknown.

At least, in Ang Lee's opinion, what can be done well on land may not be possible on a sea ship, and the bumps and ups and downs of the sea ship will make it difficult for the artillery to aim at distant targets, so that it is almost impossible to hit.

However, this refers to a long-range attack, and if two ships are in close proximity, they can hit the enemy ship without aiming, thus damaging the enemy ship.

Ang Lee has decided to deploy artillery forces on some large steam ships to ensure the safety of the sailing fleet.

It doesn't take much, a large steam sea ship only needs to deploy ten advanced breech guns, which is enough to deter pirates, among them, one gun is arranged in the front and rear, a rotating turret is set up, and four guns are deployed on each side, which is the strength of an artillery team.

In the future, there will be more and more large steam ships built by Datang, and there will be more and more demand for artillery, and Li An does not plan to consume the eight core artillery brigades in the capital, so the artillery teams on the sea ships are all in the situation of independent artillery teams, and the formation of these artillery teams only needs to draw a small number of talents from the artillery units in the capital and match them with newly recruited artillerymen.

In any case, the eight mobile artillery brigades at the core of Datang cannot be lost, this is the force that shocks the whole world, it is also the strategic mobile force of Datang, and it is also the honor guard of the Tang Empire.

Li An has already discussed with Li Longji that every year after the Great Dynasty Meeting, large-scale military exercises will be organized to let the surrounding countries understand the strong strength of the Tang Empire, and in the exercises, the artillery unit is a very important force and is absolutely indispensable.

In the summer, Laizhou came back with good news, the first steam ship was officially built in the city, and has been launched, the crew is in the sea trial, to determine the performance of the steam ship, and from the effect of the experiment, the performance of the steam ship is very good, when there is no wind, the speed is much higher than that of ordinary ships.

Of course, in order to save fuel and prevent the two steam turbines from breaking down, the large steam ship also prepared sails and hundreds of large slurries, so it not only has the advanced nature of a steam ship, but also has all the capabilities of an ordinary sea ship, and is a double-faced.

Because the artillery and binoculars were not yet in place, and the various fuels were not well prepared, the first steam ship could not sail far away, but could only be tested near the bay, and was responsible for training a large number of qualified seamen, and the recruitment of seafarers was required, and fishermen who lived by the sea and often went out to sea to fish were the first choice, these people were familiar with the sea, not afraid of the sea, and were the most suitable seamen, and even the captain and first mate had to be selected among these people.

After the performance of the steam turbines was confirmed, Li An immediately ordered the newly completed ten sets of steam turbines to be shipped to Laizhou, and formulated a plan for the construction of the next batch of steam turbines, which was more numerous, a total of 30 sets, much more than the previous batch of steam turbines.

All the work was carried out in an orderly manner, and Ang Lee put too much effort into it, but as the weather became hotter and hotter, Ang Lee gradually became lazy.

The weather in July is the hottest of the year, in such weather, let alone work, even standing still can heat people half to death, such a hot weather naturally has to protect yourself, at least, Li Ang will not work too hard in such weather.

But the R&D center needs itself, and for this reason, no matter how reluctant Ang Lee is, he has to go to the R&D center every day, and even, he has to stay for a period of time to guide various work.

In order to make himself a little more comfortable when guiding his work, and in order to allow a large number of R&D people to work better, Ang Lee collected a large amount of saltpeter from all over the country, and made a large number of ice cubes in this hot day to cool down various R&D units, prevent them from heat stroke, and improve their work efficiency.

Of course, in addition to making ice cubes, various other means are also used, such as building awnings on the roofs and windows of buildings, and setting up underground cooling systems, that is, burying hollow iron pipes underground, and the iron pipes have two outlets outside, and the power of the instrument is used to blow air into one mouth, and the other mouth is cooled by the ground cooling.

Of course, this air conditioner is about 20 degrees of underground air temperature, the effect of refrigeration is really not good, but with this is better than nothing, it is also good to reduce the indoor temperature of one degree, after cooperating with ice cubes and awnings, the total cooling effect is more obvious, at least it can reduce the indoor temperature of several degrees, so that R & D talents can work better.

Although it is also possible to make a steam fan so that people can feel the cool wind, the steam fan itself needs to burn charcoal, which will increase the temperature in the room, but the person who is blown by the wind feels cool, so Ang Lee decided not to make a fan.

In the middle of the R&D center, is Ang Lee's office, this house is a typical hollow-shaped house, Ang Lee's office is in the middle of the hollow-shaped shape, after adding the air conditioning system and ice, it becomes very cool, in winter, there will also be a burning fireplace, is a veritable four-season constant temperature office.

Because the weather was so hot, after Ang Lee came to the R&D center, most of the work was done in this office, and the craftsmen would come to ask if they didn't understand anything, and rubbed the cool environment here.

If he has to go to the scene for guidance, Ang Lee can only leave the office and take a special car, which is not a steam car, but a very ordinary carriage, but the carriage and roof are designed to be double-layered, and there are a large number of cooling ice cubes piled inside, sitting in such a carriage, you can hardly feel the heat wave outside.

July and August are a hot season, and it is in such a hot season that Emperor Li Longji pulled down the last fig leaf and officially canonized his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan, who had lived together for a long time, as a concubine, and at the same time, in order to compensate for his cuckold son, he ordered the daughter of the minister Wei Zhaoxun to be canonized as Princess Shou, so that his son also had a companion.

At the same time, there were many relatives and friends of the Yang family, Yang Yuhuan's father Yang Xuanyan was posthumously awarded the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, his uncle Yang Xuanqi was named Guangluqing, his cousin Yang Quan was the young eunuch in the palace, and Yang Qi was the captain of the horse.

Among them, Yang Qi married Li Mao's own sister Princess Taihua as his wife, and Yang Yuhuan's three sisters were all placed in the capital and given a mansion by the emperor, which was extremely noble.

Such a big thing happened in the imperial court, which naturally became a hot topic on the streets, however, in order not to cause trouble for themselves, most people just talked about Yang Yuhuan being canonized as a concubine, as for the fact that Yang Yuhuan used to be the princess of Shou, he didn't dare to say more, even if he talked about it, it was three or five friends who got together and talked about it behind their backs, after all, it was not a glorious thing for the emperor to rob his daughter-in-law.

Because the weather is too hot, Li Yu and Li Yu will only come over once every half a month, and after a long experience, they will go to Li An's vegetable greenhouse to pick some vegetables and fruits, and then go back, of course, if they are in a better mood, they will also stay and talk about life with Li An.

"Li Shilang, the Yang family has suddenly risen recently, do you know?"

Li Yu sat in Ang Lee's office, nibbling on a cucumber as he spoke.

"You know, isn't it just that Mrs. Yang, who accompanies Your Majesty all day long, was canonized as a concubine, and then, everyone in the family was rewarded? The whole city knows, how could I not know? ”

Li An replied with a smile, he knew about this matter in his previous life, but he didn't know the specific time of Yang Yuhuan's canonization.

"Li Shilang, have you ever heard that the people in the market are not willing to give birth to boys, but are more willing to have daughters."

Li Yu continued to ask.

Li An opened his mouth and smiled: "Hehe! This is just the ridicule of the people, it is the envy of the Yang family that said so, even if they give birth to a girl, will they definitely be able to get the emperor's favor? ”

"What Li Shilang said is that Xiao Wang also thinks so, and the reason why Xiao Wang talked about this matter today is entirely because the Yang family has been too flamboyant recently, especially the three sisters of the concubine, every time they travel, a large group of people follow, and the movement is too big, even Xiao Wang rides on the street, and they have to make way for them."

Li Yu's expression was slightly complaining, but he was a little helpless about it, although he was the eldest grandson, but his current status was not high, and since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no precedent for the eldest son to inherit the throne, let alone the eldest grandson.

"Haha! Isn't it just to make way for the Yang sisters? It's all a trivial matter, and if I meet them, I will give way to them, and I will give way willingly, and it is still a virtue to give way to others, so don't be so careful. ”

Ang Lee looked very calm, and didn't feel that there was anything worth wronging to give way to others, maybe it was still a problem of the times! Many domineering people in later generations still think in ancient times, they always feel that the road belongs to their family, and everyone should make way for him and let him go first.

Li Yu was not comforted, glanced at Li An dissatisfied, and continued to nibble on the cucumber.

"Hee-hee-hee, sister......"

"Hehehe. Sister ......"

At this moment, the sound of a woman frolicking came from outside, and the sound was very loud and very oblique.

"Come on, go and see what's going on, how can there be women in the R&D center casually."

Li An was very angry, can a woman come to this kind of place casually? Although, he has also brought women here, but after all, he is the boss here, how can women enter the R&D center without his order?

"Don't look at it, it's the Yang sisters, their voices, Xiao Wang can hear them when he is asleep."

Li Yu opened his mouth to stop and looked at Li An beside him.

Li An frowned, listened carefully to the voices outside, and nodded: "That's right, there is indeed Yurou's voice, and it is really the Yang family sisters, I haven't seen it for so many years, Yurou's voice is still so crisp and pleasant, and it is still so hot." ”

"What's the matter, Li Shilang knows the Yang sisters?"

Li Yumeng got up from the seat and looked at Li An in surprise.

Li An nodded and said: "Of course I have seen it, don't you know that the King of Guangping has led the Longwu Army to escort the King of Guichang back to the Dongnu Kingdom, and then, I went to the land to quell the rebellion, passing through the Yang family on the way, and the third sister of the concubine has a relationship, this woman is slightly thinner than the concubine, but the posture is still very good, and the temperament is hot and bold enough, when a person is single, he actually dares to pick mushrooms in the woods, and he met a villain and was rescued by me." ”

"Wow! Li Shilang, such a good opportunity for heroes to save the United States, you can put it on the table, to be honest, you and the third sister of the concubine, are you already ......?"

Li Yu and Li An have been together for a long time, and the relationship is not generally good, and gradually they have learned badly with Li An, and they dare to say anything, of course, they just dare to talk nonsense by Li An's side.

"What! King Quang Binh thought crookedly. ”

Ang Lee hurriedly denied it.

"Xiao Wang doesn't believe it, Li Shilang will return to the king of Chang, at that time, the third sister of the concubine was just a village woman, with Li Shilang's ability, will it be possible?"

Li Yu looked at Li An with a very strange look, as if he wanted to see through Li An's heart.

"King Guangping thinks too much, thinking that I, Li An, am so upright, how can I casually take advantage of someone's danger and bully a village woman? As for King Guichang, it's because of the peculiar customs of Dongnu Kingdom, and I really can't be blamed. ”

What Ang Lee has not done, he will never admit it.

"What about Ang Lee? We want to see him. ”

Yang Yurou's loud voice came from outside.

Li An and Li Yu glanced at each other and said softly: "King Guangping will also go with me to greet him!" ”

Li Yu nodded and smiled helplessly: "The Yang family is so favored, Xiao Wang Yan dares not to greet him, let's go!" ”

When the two walked to the gate, they happened to see three women and a man laughing, each of the three women had a parasol, and the man was accompanying him, like a little follower.

One of the three women is Yang Yuhuan's third sister Yang Yurou, and the other two should be Yang Yuhuan's eldest sister and second sister, and the middle-aged man, Li An has also seen Yang Zhao, who he saw when he was in Shuzhong.

"Welcome the three ladies to come and inspect, Yang is also in the army! Hurry inside please. ”

Li An invited very politely, and Li Yu also greeted him with a smile.

"Li Shilang, long time no see, long time no see!"

Yang Zhao knew that Li An was now a big celebrity next to the emperor, so he hurriedly ran over to set it up, and he was more enthusiastic than seeing his father.

"Li Shilang, long time no see."

Yang Yurou also smiled and threw a wink at Ang Lee.
