Chapter 251: Steam Train

"Li Zifeng, must Li Zifeng." Li Yi seems to have thought of this name a long time ago.

Back to Datang!

With the cry of a baby in the Lizheng Palace, the prosperous Tang Dynasty kicked off.

Li Ji was happy to win the prince, amnesty to the world, and the Quartet celebrated.

Han Yuan Palace, the ministers were beaming. The civil official group led by Kong Lin and Dugu Yi wrote to celebrate, and some of the imperial court were busy, but the worst thing was that envoys from various countries came to congratulate the Tang Emperor on giving birth to a prince.

Everyone knows that the emperor has a child, and the Tang Foundation has a successor, so when will he not be a sycophant at this time.

How lonely it is to be invincible, how empty it is to be invincible. Looking at the world, who will be Datang's opponent now? No.

In Jishan Palace, Empress Dowager He happily hugged Li Ji's son, and Zhang Wanxi sat next to her, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were happy.

"Queen, you have made a great contribution to my Datang." Empress Dowager He said with a smile holding the child.

This made Zhang Wanxi speechless for a while, and she was speechless. How should this be addressed, he has indeed made a contribution to the Tang Dynasty and gave birth to a prince. How can you answer, thanks to Li Ji's help?

Zhang Wanxi smiled: "This is all thanks to the blessing of the ancestors."

"Well, yes, thanks to the blessing of our ancestors." Empress Dowager He was immediately happy, Li Ji didn't have to worry about her now, there were too many incredibles in this emperor.

To be honest, Li Ji is not an emperor material. First of all, the majesty is not enough, and many things are difficult to convince the public.

But why everyone still obeys him, it is because Li Ji has too many fans. This emperor seems to be a fairy-like existence, and no one dares to mess with him.

Because everyone knows that there is absolutely no good fruit to eat if you provoke the emperor. The Emperor will have a hundred ways to kill you, a hundred.

Even if you hold a knife on Li Ji's neck, it seems that you have the chance to win, but you must die in the end. This is everyone's opinion of Li Ji, so no one dares to disagree with this emperor.

In the Lizheng Palace, at night, the husband and wife can only have time to be alone.

The solar-powered lanterns are quite incompatible in this huge palace, and the dazzling lights illuminate the whole room. This was brought by Li Jixin, and in order to avoid being said that the emperor was unfilial, the other one was sent to Jishan Palace to the Empress Dowager He.

"Your Majesty, Ying'er and Feng'er, let's send them to the Modern Academy, I, what should I do if I miss them?"

Li Ji shook his head: "Not before the age of eight."

"What?" Zhang Wanxi asked in surprise.

"The children are too young, and I'm afraid that they will leak out or cause some trouble. I hadn't decided whether to send them to school or hire a private tutor for them. ”

Li Ji is really struggling with this problem, if you ask a tutor, it's okay to say that you can ask a few teachers to teach your children to learn at home.

Going to school is a hassle, first you have to solve the problem of your child's hukou, and then the school is relatively relaxed, and you can't be with your child every day. There is another point that Li Ji is most worried about, that is, what if the child will graduate in the future and will not like to go back to ancient times.

You must know that modern civilization is much stronger than the era of the Tang Dynasty, even if he goes back to ancient times to be an emperor, he may not be willing.

The most important thing is the household registration, and to solve the problem of children's settlement, it is necessary to solve Zhang Wanxi's household registration.

There will not be so many problems with asking for a tutor, let the teacher teach the two children to learn knowledge at home, and then get them back to Datang when they are older.

It's just that there is another drawback, children cannot integrate into society, which will be detrimental to their growth. It is only in school that children learn to tolerate and find friendship when they are in front of other children.

Most of the children cultivated by modern civilization education have a correct outlook on life and values. It would be inappropriate to just keep them at home.

I'll talk about that later, but there's still a headache right now. That is the child's vaccination, Li Ziying is already three years old, she has missed several vaccinations, and Li Zifeng can't do this anymore.

Many people may think that Li Ji is worrying, but those who can be parents have far-reaching plans. They are deeply afraid that their children will be wronged and hurt at all, and the vaccination can improve the body's antibody immunity, and they have natural resistance to smallpox, plague, dysentery and other diseases that are commonplace in Datang.

These diseases are very rare in modern times, but they cause a large number of deaths in Datang every year, and Li Ji does not dare or want to take this risk.

Li Yi's wind and water are booming, and the life of a local tyrant is good. Li Ji's jade pendant was auctioned for a sky-high price, and he was thinking about the orchid pavilion order again.

"Is it Boya International, I'll look for Chen Yuguang, yes, yes, it's me. I took out a calligraphy and painting from my ancestral house, you come and show me, yes, yes, it's in my house. ”

Li Yi called the satchel, and the last time it was the jade pendant that the satchel auctioned for him.

Li Jiyupei sold for 26 million, and Boya International, where the satchel was located, also made a lot of money. This time, when I heard that Li Yi got another pair of antiques, it was still a calligraphy and painting, not to mention that he brought two bricks to Li Yi's house in a hurry.

"Mr. Li, may I ask what era and whose work is this calligraphy and painting of yours?" When the satchel came in, he asked impatiently.

Li Yi pretended not to care: "Alas, it's just a copybook." My ancestors used to be broad, and my ancestors were three-grade masters. As for this painting, it was cleaned up from the ancestral home, you can look at it casually. ”

After all, it is a regular auction house, and they must investigate the origin of the antiques clearly, and Li Yi's hometown really has an ancestral home. Their ancestors had people who were officials to the third grade, and they also had their own merits in history. Moreover, it is recorded that his ancestor, a great man, was a collector all his life, so it is not surprising that this calligraphy was obtained from his former residence.

Li Yi then said: "My ancestors, I hid this calligraphy and painting in the dark compartment behind the tablet, and this time I returned home and wanted to go back to clean the ancestral home." By the way, clean up the ancestral shrine, who knows that you accidentally got this copy, you can take a look. ”

The calligraphy and painting are sealed with silk threads, and when you look at this paper, you can tell that it is a work of age. The satchel was overjoyed, and he hurriedly untied the silk thread and opened the copybook.

Then everyone froze, the satchel was frightened, and the two bricks trembled excitedly. Orchid Pavilion Order, it's Orchid Pavilion Order!

The master of ancient and modern calligraphy, the pinnacle of the calligraphy world. For this era, this orchid pavilion is comparable to the Mona Lisa in the Louvre.

If the painting is appraised, it is frankly priceless. Because you say it's billions, it's fine, and it's worth tens of billions.

The two bricks took the convex lens and looked at it, touched it and touched it. There are also experts in the brick family, and it is no accident that Boya International can have today's reputation and status. They spent a lot of money to hire nationally renowned experts, and the brick family shouted at a glance: "Authentic!" Absolutely authentic! ”

Another also shouted: "That's right, there is absolutely no doubt that this paper is paper used in the Western Jin Dynasty, and it is definitely not a fake." Lan Tingxu, this is really Lan Tingxu! ”

The tone of the satchel was excited: "Mr. Li, Mr. Li, we can take this painting to Hong Kong for auction, where there are famous collectors from all over the world, it will definitely be able to fetch a sky-high price!"

Li Yi shook his head: "No, I don't care how much this painting costs." I'm not a collector, so when it comes to money, just enough to spend. I have only one request, this is a national treasure and cannot be imported abroad. In this case, you can contact the Palace Museum and ask them to make a price, even if the price is not high, as long as it is reasonable, give it to them. ”

"This ......" satchel is obviously not very happy, such a valuable work, if it is listed for auction, tens of billions is not a dream.

Li Yi said indiscerningly: "It's so decided, it must be sold to the Forbidden City." But there is one thing, you have to keep it secret for me, don't disclose the seller's information, let them quote first. ”

Jiangcheng City News Network,

"Recently, a mysterious seller in our city sold a pair of national treasure-level cultural relics to the Palace Museum at a price of 200 million yuan. It is reported that the mysterious seller asked that as long as the national treasure was not lost, he was willing to sell it to the museum at a low price. In this regard, the director of the Palace Museum said that on behalf of the museum, he expressed his deep gratitude to the mysterious seller.

"Orchid Pavilion Preface" is a Chinese treasure, from the Jin Dynasty in China, the book saint Wang Xizhi in Shaoxing Lanzhu Mountain to meet friends, wrote "the world's first line of books" ......"

The transaction price of 200 million yuan can be said to be almost free of charge. A well-known calligraphy and painting is often sold at a price of hundreds of millions of dollars, which is equivalent to billions of yuan. And 200 million yuan is only tens of millions of US dollars, which is really low for the world's first line of Shulan Pavilion Introduction. National treasures are priceless, and this price is more like a donation.

Li Yi thought so, anyway, Li Ji had a baby. These two hundred million yuan are almost enough to spend on equipment, even if it is not enough, it is a big deal to bring Qin Shihuang's night pot over the next time I come. Qin Shi Huang's didn't have it, and Li Ji used it very much.

The steam engine has been built and is in the commissioning stage. The steam locomotive was propelled by charcoal fuel, and the tracks were laid for about five kilometers, this time as a test test.

The ministers didn't want to come, so they were forced to come by Li Ji. They looked at the steel behemoth on the railroad tracks, with two carriages behind it, and they were all amazed.

Li Baoguo is confident, they are made in strict accordance with the information, pressure gauges, horns, lights, charcoal, boilers, etc. are supplied by the Liuli Factory, Huangling Mountain, and the newly built hardware factory, this steam train is no different from the modern one.

There is only one point, plastic products have not yet been developed in Datang, and the train is also iron, but the carriages are full of wooden tables and chairs.

The window glass was supplied by the glaze factory, and Li Ji beckoned the ministers to sit in the first carriage, and the second section was the palace maids and eunuchs and the guards who escorted them.

The train is ready, the chimney is smoking, the train is whirring and starting, just waiting for the departure.

Li Ji nodded to Li Baoguo: "Let's start."

'Dangdang! ......' train began to prepare, the driver moved the handbrake, and the boilermaker kept filling the furnace with coal.

"Woohoo! ......" The roar of the steam train frightened the ministers, and the train began to move in a different way.

Li Ji sat in front and looked at everyone with a smile: "How do you feel Aiqing, with this train, our Datang can be unimpeded all over the world." I will be able to take a car from Luoyang City to Xichuan in the west, Binhai in the east, grassland in the north, and Hainan in the south. ”

Dugu was a little frightened, and his mouth was still stiff: "Your Majesty, this iron lump doesn't seem to be walking fast."

This is just the beginning, as the boiler continues to smoke, the workers continue to fill the charcoal, the train starts to run at full power.

Then everyone was convinced, and Kong Lin looked at him: "Lord Dugu, isn't this fast, the horses can't catch up."

Dugu grabbed the row of chairs nervously: "Hurry, it's fast." Yes, it's just a little scary. ”

Li Ji laughed: "This train is not like a horse, as long as there is fuel, it can run non-stop." And there is another advantage, there are many things to pull, this carriage can be full of goods, and in the future, our commercial goods in Datang Tiannan and Haibei can be transported by train. ”

The train whined forward, guarded by a guard every ten meters, which attracted a lot of onlookers.

"This is, this is the train?"

"Yes, I heard that you don't eat grass or drink water, but you just fill the stove with charcoal and this thing can be opened."

"It's so magical, I see, it's all Your Majesty's might, and the Son of Heaven blesses you."

"That's it, I heard that His Majesty got the drawings from overseas, and the imperial court made them according to them."

"Your Majesty is really a man of God!"

"Your Majesty, the true dragon and the son of heaven, of course he is a god."

The five-kilometer railway, the train whined all the way, and the ministers gradually felt at ease.

"Good baby, it's very comfortable to sit, not bumpy, very stable." Cui Yuan said with satisfaction.

At this time, a palace maid came over with a fruit plate and pastries, and everyone put them on the table.

Li Ji greeted everyone: "Come on, come on, let's try it, how about eating fruit snacks on the train?"

Zhao Zhanguo was a little dizzy, and he whispered to Dugu next to him: "Why do I feel like vomiting?"

Dugu lost the same feeling: "I thought I ate something bad in the morning, it turns out that you also feel this way."

Their whispers were overheard by Li Ji: "Oh, I forgot to tell you something. As for this train, some people will feel uncomfortable when they sit on it, just like we get seasick on a boat. ”

Dugu Yu suddenly woke up: "Your Majesty, the old minister is seasick, and this minister is the first time I heard that there is motion sickness."

Li Ji smiled: "This is the same as taking a boat, just wait for you to get used to it a few more times."

The train had a smooth ride and arrived at its destination quickly. The five-kilometer railway is not very far, and this is only the experimental stage.

As soon as they got out of the car, Dugu and Zhao Zhanguo found a place to vomit, which was really fatal for people with motion sickness.

Datang finally built the first steam locomotive, and with the first train, it was much easier to build a second and third one.

The next step was to make railroad tracks, and the steel mill was booming, and steel was made at full capacity. All over the country is also looking for suitable coal mines and iron mines, as soon as there is a suitable place to start making blast furnace iron, steel mills are working day and night, and the railroad tracks are getting longer and longer......
