Chapter 230: The Quartet is pacified
After listening to Fang Jing's words, Li Shimin stared at the small train that was still running, pondered for a long time, and never said a word again, or being in a high position, he couldn't imagine these technical things at all, maybe in his eyes, nothing could be difficult for him.
Facts have proved that after returning to Chang'an, Li Shimin is really ready to build a railway from Chang'an to Luoyang, and this technical problem is really not something that the current Datang can solve.
"Brother Jing, can't we build a big train for the time being? Didn't you tell us that if you have faith, you can do it? Qingque stood on the side, listening to Li Shimin and Fang Jing's words, and wanted to participate in the action of building the train.
"Qingque, you have also listened to my lectures for half a year, you should know that I have taught a lot of lessons about motivation, pressure and energy, but you have not understood how these are generated, and how can you build such a large train? And to build such a steam locomotive, it is not a simple power can be solved, it involves more complex engineering and technology. Fang Jing may not be able to express it clearly, but if you really want to build a train, at least there are many technologies involved in it, and it is really not something that can be known by simple learning.
"Brother Jing, if it doesn't work in one year, then ten years, I don't believe that I can't build this train." The green finch is like a child with a choked breath.
"Qingque, it's good to have such confidence, not for a year, you can spend ten years to study, that's also good, when you really study it thoroughly, the technology of steel is also thoroughly studied, and other materials can also be studied, then you can build it again, confidence, you must have confidence." Fang Jing cheered towards the green sparrow, maybe after waiting for a decade or two, it was really possible to build a simple steam train.
Where there is a will, there is a way, there is no problem where this is placed, but only in science, it is difficult to achieve, this requires the accumulation of time, the accumulation of technology, and the failure again and again, scientific argumentation is basically based on hypotheses, with hypotheses, there is a direction of verification.
At present, it is completely built on the existing small train, with this small train as the goal, that Fang Jing believes that even if it is one generation, or two generations, it is possible to build success, but the situation in the Tang Dynasty is not Li Shimin has always been in charge, when Li Shimin passed away, Li Zhi came to power, that is another wind direction, whether it can be built successfully, it is still difficult to say.
"Jing Wazi, what are you doing, are you messing with that little train of yours again?" Chen Erlin and his wife walked over from not far away with farm tools, Zhang Xiaoxia saw two gorgeously dressed nobles in the field, and thought that some officials had come to Fangjia Village.
"Uncle, aunt, come and see the ceremony, this is the current saint and the queen, the queen you know, the queen has been in our house for some time before." Fang Jing watched Chen Erlin and his wife come over, and hurriedly shouted over to greet him, even if it was to pull a backrest for his little uncle and aunt.
"Huh? That one...... In this ......, the grass people Chen Erlin and Zhang Xiaoxia have seen the saint and the queen. Chen Erlin and his wife were a little at a loss, the first time they saw the current emperor, they were so nervous that they didn't know what to say, let alone how to greet them, so they could only learn to make a big gift like Mr. Bai of the students, which was considered a gift to Li Shimin and his wife.
"You two don't need to be polite, the queen and I came to Fangjia Village, just to come and have a look." Li Shimin's essence as the emperor is reflected, atmospheric, noble, speaking and posing, all showing nobility.
"Brother Chen, Sister Xiaoxia, don't be polite, we are also acquaintances, no need to be polite, I heard Mr. say that your dishes are no worse than his, we have to taste them today." The queen is the most familiar with Chen Erlin and his wife, she used to live in Fang Jing's house for several months, and she dealt with her every day, so naturally she didn't need to be polite.
"Queen, here, let's go and prepare for cooking." Although Chen Erlin and his wife have known the queen for a long time, after all, their identity is here, and they dare not go beyond it.
Chen Erlin and his wife returned to the house, the couple whispered some words, and then began to prepare today's noon meal, just now after hearing what the queen said, this lunch must be made well, but it can't be shabby, and it can't lose the face of Jing Wazi.
"Sir, can you give me this little train?" Li Shimin's heart is not willing to give up, if he can get Fang Jing's small train, he may be more confident in building a bigger train.
"Holy Lord, not yet, this little train, I built it to teach the students, in a few years." It's really not that Fang Jing is stingy, this little train was really built for the purpose of teaching students, and of course, it is also possible to become a toy for students.
"Okay, when Mr. finishes teaching the students, send them to me, we can still wait for a few years." Li Shimin didn't bother with this little train anymore, after all, the matter of this little train had already made him feel the power of science and technology.
Li Shimin and his wife have their own ideas, but most of them have the same meaning, Li Shimin wants to get Fang Jing's small train, and the queen hopes to get the smelting technology of these steel or iron blocks, in fact, they all want to build a large steam locomotive.
"Holy Lord, Queen, let's stop first, let's go home and rest first, the sun is too big, and the little babies are a little too hot to stand it." After being quiet for half an hour, Fang Jing took the lead in breaking the embarrassment of having only a small train, in fact, the little babies were already sweating profusely, but if Li Shimin and his wife did not leave, they would naturally not leave, Fang Jing had to speak.
"Okay, go home first, sir, please." Li Shimin was awakened by Fang Jing's words, just now Li Shimin had been immersed in the running of this small train, thinking about certain things.
Everyone followed Li Shimin and his wife to the house and sat on the chairs to rest, but Daying and Xiaocao went to the stove room to help, but Fang Yuan stayed by Fang Jing's side to sit and rest.
"Dachu, big head, little tree, the three of you go to the field to pick some watermelons and melons and come back, pick a few baskets, and put them in the pool on the other side of the ditch to soak them first." Fang Jing called the three older boys to go to the field to pick melons.
"Okay, cousin, Brother Jing." After hearing this, the three of them responded, and then picked a few baskets and went out.
"Sir, I know this melon, what is this watermelon?" After listening to Fang Jing's words, the queen wondered in her heart, she knew about the melon, and when she was in Chang'an, she had eaten some of them, but the watermelon was the first time she had heard of it, so she asked Fang Jing.
"Mother, I know, I know, Brother Jing's house has planted a lot of watermelon fields, Brother Qingque, and me, as well as Sister Dexian, Sister Meng Jiang, we have eaten it several times, red and sweet." Li Zhen heard her mother's question, and hurriedly explained to Li Shimin and his wife.
"Shengshang, Queen, Lizhi is right, this watermelon has not been planted in Datang yet, but it is planted in some countries in the Western Regions, and it is said to have come from a place further west, and the Holy Queen can taste it after a while, but it is just an ordinary melon and fruit, and it is okay to quench your thirst." Fang Jing also explained to Li Shimin and his wife.
"Okay, I'm going to taste this watermelon in a moment." Li Shimin is not too interested in the things that grow in the ground, but as long as they can be eaten and delicious, they can also taste it, at least it can be regarded as a taste, and it is not food.
"By the way, sir, would you like to be an official in the court?" Li Shimin stared at Fang Jing and asked, wondering what Fang Jing thought about entering the court.
"Saint, you have love, I am a farmer, I don't understand etiquette, I haven't read a few books, and I don't know how to govern the country. Fang Jing listened to Li Shimin say that he wanted to be an official himself, but he didn't dare to think about it, he wouldn't be an official if he was killed.
Entering the temple, in addition to flattery, it is intrigues, Fang Jing is a straight person, but he can't be an official, let alone fight wits with others, if he really wants to enter the temple, who dares to spray himself, maybe Fang Jing will directly draw his sword and stab the other party.
"Sir, if it is peaceful today, the Turkic Jieli Khan has been escorted back to Chang'an, and I am invincible outside the Tang Dynasty, but now it is to rectify the place, exchange business with other countries, and encourage farmers to open up wasteland and farm, increase production and income, but in this court, in addition to most of the generals, there are not many people available, if Mr. is willing to enter the court as an official, I am willing to give you the position of Zhongshu Ling (Prime Minister), respect you as the Taishi (one of the three dukes), 5,000 households, and seal you as the Duke of Qin." Li Shimin didn't want to give up Fang Jing in his heart, he hoped to impress Fang Jing with high-ranking officials, or even see Fang Jing dead in front of his eyes, so that he could know what Fang Jing had done.
"Shengshang, you look down on me, this temple matter, or you guys do it yourself, I only stay in Fangjia Village, teaching students, I have no interest in being an official, let alone going to the court to quarrel and quarrel, it's simple in Fangjia Village, it's good." Fang Jing didn't think about it, and directly rejected Li Shimin, Fang Jing didn't know whether Li Shimin was sincere or false, but the refusal was real, Fang Jing wouldn't be an official, how good it would be to stay at home.
"Sir......" The queen was also about to say something to Fang Jing, maybe the queen also wanted to fight for Fang Jing.
"Queen, if it's an official, don't mention it again." Fang Jing directly interrupted the queen.
"Since Mr. is unwilling to enter the court as an official, then my husband and wife are no longer reluctant, but in the future, in the Fang Family Academy, I still need Mr. to take care of a few of them, and it will be troublesome for Mr." Li Shimin didn't say anything about his official position, but changed his words and wanted Fang Jing to take good care of Qingque and the four of them.
"Holy Lord, Queen, don't worry, Qingque, Lizhi, Dexian, and Meng Jiang are doing well in Fangjia Village, and their studies are also good, you can rest assured, you can also ask them." Fang Jing was casual, four little babies were just a few more pairs of dishes and chopsticks, not to mention that they still had an entourage.
At the beginning of the first month of this year, Li Ji defeated the Turks in Baidao, and Li Jing defeated the Jieli Khan in Yinshan, and then was attacked by Li Ji and Li Jing to capture the Turkic Khan, and went to Chang'an in April, rescued countless Han people captured by the Turks, and also killed tens of thousands of Turks, and captured no less than 100,000 Turkic soldiers, which can be regarded as the end of the annual invasion of the northern Turks.
For the ability to solve the Turkic problem once and for all, last year in the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin had already sent troops to start conquering the Turks, and it happened that the Turks were in political chaos, disasters continued, and the rebellion of Xue Yantuo and other departments, coupled with the complaints of other tribes, and the Han people were quite a lot of various situations, so that Li Shimin was able to solve the northern border troubles of the Tang Dynasty at one time and directly exterminate the Turks, which made the Tang Dynasty prosperous and Li Shimin's first famous.
