In the end, two songs were sold, and Wei Xi gave her a "Water Tune Song Head: When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know what year it is tonight?" I want to ride the wind back, but I am afraid that Qionglou Yuyu ......" and then there is "Nian Nujiao Chibi nostalgia: the east of the great river, the waves are exhausted, the eternal romantic figures, the west of the base ......"

As soon as these two songs came out, the former one was a fairy sound, with a far-reaching artistic conception, and the latter one was extremely heroic, it was really a tall and lofty thing, Princess Taiping glared and said: "I want to squeeze your white juice, and I want to squeeze your poetry and songs, the same can not be missing!" ”

Wei Xi laughed heartily and said, "It's all yours!" ”

Princess Taiping is the best at pleasing her mother, so she immediately rested, sang these two songs in the music of the house, and danced "When is the bright moon" with the most beautiful and graceful dancers in the house, and discharged a hundred fierce Kansai Han chorus "Go to the east of the river!" ”

After the rehearsal felt very good, he hurriedly sent them to Luoyang, and Wu Zetian was very happy!

She was full of praise: "My family is peaceful and filial!" Don't mention the heavy reward performer, for a few days, the mood was super good, and the ministers of the court said privately: "In the future, when the queen mother is in a bad mood, it will be OK to find Princess Taiping to offer fun!" (OK, Merriam-Webster)

The two songs soon spread throughout the capital, and the whole city sang "When is the bright moon" and "Go to the east of the big river!" ”

……

Princess Taiping stayed in Fengzhou for a month, had a preliminary understanding of the process of the county government, and got a large amount of information for her to show on the road, and her long history of continuing education. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to thank Hechi County for her help, Princess Taiping gave three months' salary to the officials who helped her!

Receiving a quarter of their annual salary at once, the officials of Hechi County were very happy.

What made them even more overjoyed was that Princess Taiping used her private house to rebuild the Hechi County Government, paved the ground, painted the walls, renovated the official building, etc., and also repaired a small garden and a new kitchen for the inner courtyard, which greatly improved the office and accommodation conditions of the officials.

The happiest thing for Hechi County is that under the auspices of Princess Taiping, there will be one more apprentice and township tribute test.

Originally, in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was divided into two categories: regular subjects, which were carried out in phases every year, and the examinations held temporarily by the emperor's edict were called regular subjects.

There are more than 50 kinds of subjects, such as Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Junshi, Mingfa, etc., Mingjing and Jinshi are the most important in the regular subject, and the candidates have two sources, one is a student and the other is a Xianggong. Born from the Beijing Division and the state and county schools, and sent to Shangshu Province subjects are called apprentices, not by the school hall but first through the state and county examinations, and then sent to Shangshu Province candidates are called Xianggong, by the Xianggong into Beijing candidates are commonly called lifters, the state and county examinations are called the solution test, and the examination of Shangshu Province is called the provincial examination, which is generally held in the spring, so it is also called Chunqiu.

Generally, the state and county apprentices and township tribute exams are only tested once a year, and Hechi County is special, in addition to the previously scheduled examination, there is also an additional test, that is, Hechi County has twice the number of places this year, which is agreed by the Empress Dowager of Shangshu Province, who dares not to give face to Princess Taiping.

Taiping Gong mainly interned, and as a result, the Datang official examination process was in the county, so let her do it again!

The best ones will be selected by the advisory group first, and then she will admit them personally!

This exam is called "Hechi County Taiping Bang!" ”

The people on this list are particularly high in the number of places admitted to Shangshu Province, which is their luck.

……

Re-entering the road, Princess Taiping asked Wei Xi, "You don't seem to be in a hurry about the Western Expedition,"

"Of course not." Wei Xi said leisurely: "The first step of the Western Expedition is to ally the countries of the Western Regions, we are the big shots, of course, we are the last to appear, and it is up to them (the kings of the Western Regions) to wait!" ”

Hearing this, Princess Taiping was stunned, covered her mouth and laughed, laughing so much that she trembled.

So they went all the way to see the flowers, and when they encountered a good scene, they stopped for a while, and Wei Xi and Princess Taiping came to the flower before the moon and lingered.

When she has free time, Princess Taiping continues her political studies, don't look at her noble status, but she is ruthless, and she is also very hardworking, Wei Sili praised: "The princess has Huigen, she will be able to teach, she will be fine for a while, and she will be able to come in handy if she is fine!" ”

Princess Taiping said proudly: "Of course, don't look at whose daughter this palace is!" ”

They traveled from Luoyang, Chang'an, and Fengzhou all the way to the west, and when they passed through Liangzhou, Princess Taiping asked, "Won't the lord of Xihai come to join you?" ”

"She has long been operating in the Western Regions and has become the queen of a small country!" Wei Xi said.

De Weixi reminded that Tang Tian has made great efforts to operate, and has gained a foothold in the Western Regions and set up his own door

The Western Regions are huge and sparsely populated, so being a queen is not a problem at all.

Hearing this, Princess Taiping's eyes suddenly turned red, although her relationship with Tang Tian has improved greatly, but she is a queen, she is a princess, how can this be compared.

"No, I'm going to be a queen too!" Princess Taiping shouted.

"As you wish!" Wei Xi held her jade wrist and gave her a knightly kiss.

……

In the Yumen area, Wei Xi found that oil river!

It was recorded precisely, and it was easy to find it by sending someone, and Liu Xianli, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was waiting for his arrival.

"The spring has moss such as fat, burning extremely bright, there is black fat on the water, take it with grass, apply Ouyi wine bag and ointment car" This is the portrayal of the oil river, the location of Wei Xi, the river flows from south to north, the peaks on both sides of the river stand on the wall, and there is oil seeping out and flowing into the river on the cliff and get the name.

At that time, the river originated in the Qilian Mountains, stretched for more than 100 kilometers, and the water flow was very large.

It could be seen that the black substance on the stones covered in the river was oil, and Wei Xi ordered: "This is oil, find it, dig it out!" ”

Soon they found a nest, digging deep, black oil blowouts, five or six meters high!

Of course, it's not a petrochemical industry, it's not so against the sky, but it's used to make asphalt and prepare to pave the road!

Asphalt is a good thing, used in civil engineering, can be used as waterproof materials and anti-corrosion materials, is widely used in road engineering pavement structure cementing materials, can form asphalt pavement.

There must be a good road in the Western Expedition, where the army goes, the road will be paved, but the road paved with stone and soil cannot last, and the road is paved with cement, and the productivity at that time cannot be done, and the transportation is also very difficult.

Only naturally produced petroleum bitumen was inexhaustible at that time, and it was not even processed, and the oil naturally formed asphalt lakes after it emerged from the ground.

Wei Xi is from the engineering department, naturally knows how to modulate asphalt pavement, he wrote down the formula, told Liu Xianli, he concocted, and then paved the compacted road, planted red willow, sea buckthorn, caragana, camel thorn and other plants on both sides to solidify the soil and vegetation, and then planted trees, you can establish a broad road to the Western Regions!

Looking at the newly made asphalt road and stepping on it hard, Liu Xianli exclaimed: "This is the black rope we conquered, used to hang the disobedient!" ”

He shouted, "Little ones, try to pave the way to the Atlantic!" ”

"Liu Gong, you can rest assured!" The engineers answered.
