Chapter 181: Hydraulic Press
Early the next morning, Li Jie personally sent the confession to Zhongshu Province. [No pop-ups]
Yan Zhenqing, who is the school scrivener, responded early, and Li Jie came in when he was sorting out the manuscript.
Yan Zhenqing was very curious: "Is there something wrong with Master Li Jie?" β
Li Jie smiled: "Come and send a hot potato." Don't be too busy to pick it up, wait for the official to give it directly to your boss later. Pretending not to know about this matter, this is a counterattack by Zhicai. If someone discusses Shouwang with you, don't say anything, ask you if you have seen Zhicai, you have to say no, and even the contact is broken. Your superiors will not be idle all day today, haha! β
Yan Zhenqing nodded at Li Jie: "Thank you, my lord, for mentioning it." Since the last split with Zhicai, they haven't seen each other again. β
Although he was very curious about what Li Jie was holding, he still held back his curiosity. Yan Zhenqing knew that if Liu Hao really made any big moves, he would definitely ventilate himself. The documents uploaded through Li Jie this time should have nothing to do with him.
After Li Jie left, he stood outside the door and laughed for a while. He still had in his mind the excitement on the faces of the officials of Zhongshu Province when they saw this confession.
The guard waiting at the door saw Li Jie smiling like a child, and quickly turned his back, he didn't want Li Jie to know that he had just seen the insulting side of the civil official.
When Li Jie walked to his side, the guard asked, "My lord, where are you going now?" β
Li Jie rode on his horse and said with a smile: "Go outside the city and see how the official road is repaired." By the way, those captives haven't been making trouble outside the city lately, have they? β
The guard also rode on his horse, turned his face and said to Li Jie: "Everything is normal, they all know that they can work hard, and they can become their own in the future, if they resist, their lives will be lost." Moreover, the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce donated a lot of food, their food was not bad, and the mood of the work was also very high. β
When you get out of the city gate, it becomes a concrete road. In fact, Li Jie wanted to repair the roads in the city, but Liu Hao said before that the roads in the city could only be repaired in half and half were left, and the construction was too slow. If Your Majesty had just repaired it when he came, would Your Majesty be happy to see it? Political performance is not that you can do too much, nor that you do it well, but that you have to do it skillfully. It seems difficult, but it's actually easy.
Now the road outside the city has been repaired for several miles, and it will soon lead to the Shili Pavilion in the west of the city. After the road is opened, except for the mount slightly unsuitable for the accident, the others are very good, the willows on both sides are green, and there is a cement avenue in the middle, which makes people feel comfortable when they look at it. Especially after the people in the city walked a few times, countless people donated money and materials, and even some businesses gave free manpower to contract the construction of the road section.
Li Jie has not encountered this kind of single-minded construction by the government and the people for many years. As long as you wear official robes on the construction site, someone will send you food and drink from time to time, and there is even sour plum soup and iced tea in heaven and earth. Li Jie has been here a few times, and he is very happy, not only because his political achievements have increased, but also because he is even happier with the praise and love of the people. Officials, no matter when, must do practical things for the people. As an official, you must benefit one party. Li Jie relied on this belief to step by step from a small official to this position.
Today, Liu Hao also took a low-key carriage out of the city, but he went to Daying to see the progress of construction.
When the carriage got on the cement road, Liu Hao lifted the curtains on the car, looked at the newly built cement road, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is a product that only existed after the industrial revolution, and it actually appeared in Datang in a grand manner, and it feels funny when you think about it. If the entire Datang Dynasty builds this kind of cement avenue, I am afraid that it will be very convenient whether it is a government order or army dispatch.
In ancient times, when marching and fighting, behind the main force, there were logistics personnel several times larger than the main force, generally people and the like. Roads are the premise and lifeblood of logistics. Now that the cement road has been successfully built, the troops are still unimpeded even in rain and snow.
When Liu Hao's thoughts were drifting, suddenly Li Jie was in a daze under the shade of a tree on the side of the road. Why is he here? Isn't it also the same thing? On this big road, I actually rode a horse, and it was unrealistic to think about a car shock.
Liu Hao stopped the carriage, then got out of the carriage and shouted at Li Jie: "Master Li, what are you doing here?" Do you want to come to the appointment? β
Li Jie looked up and saw that it was Liu Hao, and immediately got off the horse, he shook the folding fan and looked at Liu Hao and said: "You kid is not kind, you actually sent such a hot potato to the official, aren't you afraid that the official will report you?" β
Liu Hao smiled and said, "Now that the adults are refreshed, presumably the potato was sent out, right?" β
Li Jie smiled: "It's already in the Zhongshu Province, and the official doesn't care what they do." If they burn it, don't blame the official. β
Liu Hao opened the folding fan with a "snap": "They don't dare, everyone doesn't dare, that confession will be sent to Chang'an in its original form, and no one can change it." β
Li Jie looked at Liu Hao's carriage and asked curiously, "What?" I'm tired of staying at home, is this going out for a private meeting? β
Liu Hao said with a smile: "There are 3,000 people in the west of the city, waiting for me to come to a private meeting, do you want to come together?" β
Li Jie laughed when he heard this: "If that's the case, there are thousands of people waiting for this official." How? Want to go to the camp? I heard that your military academy is very imposing. β
Liu Hao smiled and said: "Of course you have to have momentum, what comes out of here is the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, if you don't bother to think about it, Your Majesty, the dean, will not be willing." β
Li Jie looked at Liu Hao blankly, and couldn't help asking, "What?" Are you really going to let Your Majesty put on a name? β
Liu Hao nodded: "Your Majesty will agree, I believe in Your Majesty's courage!" β
Li Jie pulled Liu Hao to the side of the road and whispered: "If you have any action next time, say it in advance." This time, the matter of the Imperial Medical Department was so sudden that the official didn't have time to react. By the way, the Su family has been cleaned up, why don't you see the follow-up actions? What about the other families? β
Liu Hao looked at the scenery in the distance and said with a smile: "Now that there is no noise in the city, it is better to let them die than to let them worry all day long." There's so much blood shedding in the city, it's time to stabilize. If the whole city is panicked, Your Majesty will blame you first, and then me, and neither of us will be able to do well. β
Li Jie nodded: "It's good that you can understand this." Okay, the official went to the front to see the road repair, will you go? β
Liu Hao shook his head: "I still have to go to Daying, the small building is two floors, see if it will be troublesome to repair it up, if you can, you can build another layer, so as not to have enough rooms after expanding the enrollment source." β
When he came to the camp, Liu Hao saw Lu Yue and Gao Shi hiding under the tree, and they didn't know what they liked to study, so they quietly walked over with their hands behind their backs.
"What are you so involved in researching?" Liu Hao's voice was very abrupt, and the two of them turned their faces at the same time.
Gao Shi turned his face and saw that it was Liu Hao, so he smiled and said, "Why is Zhicai here?" Things in the city settled? β
Liu Hao nodded: "Buy one get one free, just solved the matter of Li Nan, and there was another problem with the Imperial Medical Department, but fortunately, it has been solved." β
Lu Yue shook his pu fan and held his stomach, very Jiang Menshen's style: "Da Lang, can you let Li Hong come back?" Now Zheng Ming is not here, and Li Hong is not here, just the two of us and the third child are here, and we can't get together a table to play cards. β
Liu Hao shook his head: "Zheng Ming was injured in Xingyang, I don't know when I will come back." Li Hong has a mission in the city, and he may not come back in the next few days. By the way, there is a master of the Great Inner Celestial Character in the city, and it is estimated that he will also come here, so you should be vigilant. β
Lu Yue came to his senses when he heard it: "What? Want us to kill him? β
Liu Hao glanced at him: "What to kill, is to make you more vigilant, if he doesn't show his identity, just scare him, so that he can go back to His Majesty and say that we have no vigilance here." If you can kill him, you won't starve even if you resign. Uncle Shi said that he was a person of the same level as him. β
Gao Shi said with a smile: "That's okay, the battlefield fight is not something that can be solved by a single character." He's coming, we'll know for sure. Now don't talk about people around, we all know about a hare. β
Liu Hao looked at the two and asked, "Is there any movement recently?" β
Gao Shi smiled: "Everything is normal, nothing is wrong." The construction progress of the military academy should be completed ahead of schedule, and although the buildings are taller now, the level of those people is also improving. It's good over there, it's said that a small water stamping machine has been made now, it's just an experiment, but it's been exciting for Boss Wang for several days. It is said that with that thing, the production of Mingguang armor and the like will not be a problem in the future. β
Liu Hao was stunned when he heard it: "What are you talking about pressing the iron plate into the desired shape according to the setting by using water pressure?" β
Gao Shi nodded: "That's it, I didn't expect this military workshop to be small, but there are many people who hide dragons and crouching tigers, and in such a short period of time, they have actually improved many sharp weapons." As for the mine, it has also begun to be produced, although Boss Wang said that the output will be very small, but this thing is definitely an artifact in the grassland. β
Liu Hao couldn't be stunned when he heard it, and pulled the two of them and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." Look at what these guys have come to us. β
When the three of them came to the outside of the barracks, Lu Yue shouted out the people inside with a loud voice, and the guards of several warbars next to him were frightened by Lu Yue's loud voice, and they didn't say a word for a long time.
When Liu Hao followed Boss Wang, who led the way, turned left and right to the courtyard of the Bingfang, he looked up and saw a thing like a tamping machine on the side near the aqueduct outside.
Liu Hao looked at Wang Lao Wu and asked, "How did you figure out this thing?" What has been improved? β
Boss Wang said with a smile: "This is the ancestral drawing that Guo Tao got from a craftsman, and the schematic diagram of water power is favorable to it. It is to use the water flow to make the impeller rotate under water, drive the winch on the water surface, and the winch drives the hammer head on this side to rise. When there is a gap in the winch, the hammer head rises to the top just enough for the rope to slip out, and then the big hammer head on this side smashes down. β
