Chapter 387: Good as Flow

Li Chen was rarely willful once, and as a result, he was poured cold water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he wanted to go to Huashan, but he was fiercely opposed. The counselor fiercely opposed his trip, and some counselors kowtowed at the foot of the Zichen Palace, so that he had to cancel it.

Huashan, in fact, is not far from Chang'an. It was probably near Tongguan, and he also passed by on his way to Beijing. It's just that he has to walk for hundreds of miles, how can he walk for a few days, and he wants to stay in Huaqing Palace for two days on the way, so he was fiercely protested. Not only the officials, but also the prime minister and other important ministers, but also the hundreds of officials in the court were fiercely opposed.

Huaqing Palace, many famous. Hot spring water skiing to wash cream, although the weather is a little hot, but Li Chen still wants to take the concubine to take a bubble bath by the way, and do something national by the way? Well? Isn't the question of the heir a matter of state? He's the Emperor.

As a result, in the face of such fierce opposition, everything had to be stopped. Li Chen promised that if he didn't go to Lishan or Huaqing Palace, he would go to Huashan, and it wouldn't work. You're out, and God knows if you're going to stay. said that Li Chen would not be allowed to set off.

It is difficult to make a mistake in public anger, in some things, Li Chen will insist, this kind of thing, forget it. Those courtiers don't count, they probably follow the trend, probably because they saw that the official and the zai were opposed. However, the latter two have to be considered for their opinions.

If you were to ask why, it would be, unlucky. Huaqing Palace is unlucky. The official took out the king of Zhou You, wandered away from the mountain and died in the country, Xuanzong lingered in Lishan, and there was the Anshi Rebellion. He also said that Jingzong and Mu Zong, the two inverted friezes, were short-lived emperors, but they also lingered in Lishan, the national government was corrupted, and they themselves died in a short life.

said Li Chen, if you go, you will be like them. Anyway, I just won't let you go. Li Chen felt that this kind of thing was very nonsense, but if it was the right thing and the right thing, he would stick to it to the end. But this kind of trivial thing, he doesn't insist on.

'Since Lishan is unlucky. I announced that from now on, Lishan will be open to all officials and the public. Li Chen is as good as a stream, and he won't go. Not only will I not go now, but I will not go in the future, and I will not let future generations go, so I simply announced that it will be opened as a scenic spot for people to enjoy. This measure made hundreds of officials cheer and support Li Chen more and more.

However, they probably rejoiced too soon. Soon after the announcement, some people were so excited that they wanted to see what kind of scenery Lishan had to be, so that Emperor Xuanzong could linger and ruin the national government. As a result, it turned out to cost money.

Didn't you say that it was open to all the officials and the people? "Yes, yes, it's just that I didn't say that I wouldn't charge money." The little official who collected the ticket said leisurely.

Free and open? Just kidding, it's okay not to go, it's okay, it's not a problem to be open, but how can you not charge tickets. Have you ever seen a scenic spot that doesn't charge an entrance fee? It just so happens that I can use it to subsidize the finances.

As for some people having to protest, Li Chen Zhenzhen said that he wanted to defend it? Do you still want the court to spend money? Does the imperial court have that much money? Of course, the money is going to be collected. To maintain, so many people come, do you want to clean? Maintenance fees, cleaning fees, as it should be.

User Paid. It's a naΓ―ve concept, and when you use it, it's almost a transaction. It's just that the Chinese are used to being free, well, it seems that it is also influenced by Confucianism. It's not that Confucianism is to blame, but that the small-scale peasant ideology is characteristic, and it is better not to spend money if it can be saved. After some calculations, and even without calculations, the household department knew that it would cost a lot of money to maintain such a palace. In the past, the inner treasury was in charge, but now that it is handed over to the imperial court, it is impossible to let the inner treasury pay for it, so he can only pinch his nose and admit the fact of charging.

Whether you can go to Chenghua Mountain or not, it is still a trivial matter, and it is more troublesome now. What to do with the gold mines. Fortunately, at the beginning, the matter of opening a gold mine in Huashan was not leaked. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will face a closed fate.

Now, Li Chen had no choice but to instruct Fu Bo to continue to block the news, 'Do you want to continue digging?' Fu Bo's eyes widened, that's the dragon vein, you said that the horse is digging back, that's his big rebellion, you are the emperor, this world is your family, you still dig yourself? Is Datang not messy enough?

'Do you know why I'm going to see Huashan Gold Mine?' Definitely not because of curiosity, Li Chen silently recited in his heart, "The sound is for me to get the dream of my ancestors." Hearing this, Fu Bo was very serious, and Li Chen continued to say after seeing that the bluff was effective, "Emperor Taizong told me that if the country is in trouble in the future, you can go to dig Huashan gold mine for emergency. ’

'Difficult?' Emergency? Fu Bo was a little embarrassed, and now is not the time to be rare. Li Chen said, 'I also told Emperor Taizong about it. Emperor Taizong said. ''Say what. Fu Bo became nervous, could it be...

He told me that there were decades left in Datang. Fu Bo was shocked, are there only a few decades left?' No, under the rule of a sage, my Datang will definitely last forever. Fu Bo hurriedly expressed his loyalty, and when he heard this, he should not be silenced.

Emperor Taizong also said a lot, mainly telling me what to do, and also telling me how to dig the dragon vein without losing the fortune of the country. ''How?'' Emperor Taizong said that as long as you do a good job of soil and water conservation, don't create too much pollution. ’

'Soil and water conservation? Fu Bo was at a loss, and Li Chen explained what soil and water conservation is. Then he told Fu Bo that this matter must be kept secret, whether it is decades of national glory or gold mining, let him go down and be busy.

The gold mining was done, and then Li Chen recruited people to come over, wanting to learn about the mining technology of the Tang Dynasty. This is one of the reasons why he went to Huashan.

He found Zheng Lang, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, to find out about this matter. This kind of thing, it should be right to find the Ministry of Labor.

'Edict of a saint? I'll go right away. Hearing Li Chen's rumor of him, Zheng Lang immediately entered the palace and went to Yanying Palace. When he came to Yanying Hall and saw that it was empty, Zheng Lang felt a little pimple in his heart, why didn't anyone find me?

However, he was not happy, he was not particularly excited about being trusted by the emperor, but he just thought, could it be that there was something wrong with the project in that place? was simply found by the emperor, and if there was a problem, he carried it himself.

Just as Zheng Lang was getting up and down, Li Chen arrived and asked him about mining technology. For Li Chen to want to know how to mine, Zheng Lang is inexplicable, is there any deep meaning?

If it was Li Chen before the pro-government, he wouldn't think like this, but the punishment of **** Zhen, as well as the removal of the Lishan Palace, and the opening to the public, these things all show that this emperor is not a faint monarch, in this case, probably the emperor has a deep meaning.

No matter what the sage's deep meaning was, Zheng Lang eliminated distracting thoughts, and explained the mining technology in detail and attentively, thanks to him as a civil official, although he was a waiter in the Ministry of Works, he actually understood this technology. After all, no matter what, he was born in the imperial examination, and he is considered a civil official, so it is not impossible not to understand.

Li Chen listened thoughtfully. Basically, the technology of the Tang Dynasty was not very able to dig deep. Although during the Warring States period, there was already the ability to use various shafts or horizontal branches to dig deeply.

However, when it comes to drainage and ventilation, the difficulty is greater. Therefore, there are not many places that can be dug deeply, and it is too deep for miners to breathe and face the problem of groundwater, which cannot be solved. Li Chen roughly understood.

At the moment, he came up with two ideas. Let Zheng Lang not move, and urgently recruit the skilled craftsmen who will be the supervisor and the supervisor to come over.

will be the supervisor and the weapons supervisor, and it is inexplicable to hear the edict of the sage, asking them to wear the best craftsmen to come to the Zichen Palace. Isn't this emperor transgender? In the past, it was not to confuse Ma Yi, so he would run around and come to them. Now that Ma Yi has been arrested, which one is rumored that they used to be?

Four men came, each with the most skilled craftsmen in the prison. After coming, Li Chen didn't say much, he drew a sketch to show them.

'What is this?' The four of them took the drawings, and the drawings were sloppy, but this was not the point, the point was that they could not understand it if they were not hasty, "This is a hand-pressed pump." ’。

There are not many ways to provide mining technology. But it's all practical. The first is drainage, as long as the drainage problem is solved, many of them cannot be mined because of groundwater problems, and maybe they can be restored.

How did the Tang Dynasty pump water from mines? Basically, it is to rely on leather bags and carry them out manually. Otherwise, if you are lucky, you can make a hole in the side and use a bamboo raft or leather pipe to drain the water out. There's not much else to do.

Li Chen's hand-pressed pumping machine is probably a thousand years ahead of China, it should be. How long it took abroad, Li Chen didn't know. At least Taiwan, this kind of thing was introduced to Taiwan by the Japanese during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, and it was widely used.

The basic principle is this, just squeeze the air down, lift the handle, and do that over and over again, and you can pump the water out. Several craftsmen looked at each other, what is the reason? Nobody figured it out. Is it really possible to pump out the water? Nobody knows. Refuting the Emperor? No one dared to get on it.

Well, it seems that it is a little difficult to verify the atmospheric pressure to them, but it doesn't matter, it is good to be able to use it, 'If you press by hand, the power may not be enough, you design a linkage device, for example, a water wheel, to drive the machine, anyway, the basic principle is like that. ’

The four of them can't help it, just do it and see, anyway, they all understand what to do. However, the next thing made them not understand.

'Saint, what is this railcar like?' ''Sort of that's it. Li Chen picked up the charcoal pen and scribbled it on the paper. The second item that Li Chen can improve is the minecart, just heard that the ore is carried out by the miners, Li Chen thought of the minecart and carried it out? It's so inefficient, isn't it?

So he had to write on his own and let them try to use a minecart in the mine. Let the Ministry of Industry make a sample first.

After the matter was ordered and they were allowed to leave, Li Chen began to deal with today's government affairs. The first one was Lu Hongzheng, the head of the household department, and gave him a little surprise. It turned out to be about the issue of salt politics. Li Chen was overjoyed, and immediately picked it up and looked at it carefully. (To be continued.) )
