Chapter Twenty-Three: The Secrets of the East Palace
"From the Army" Xu Yang
The beacon fire shines on Xijing, and I feel uneven in my heart.
Yazhang resigned from the phoenix, and rode around the dragon city.
The snow is dark and withered, and the wind is mixed with the sound of drums.
I'd rather be a centurion than a scholar.
Chang'an, East Palace, Imperial Study.
In the silent hall by candlelight, a young man in a golden robe kneeled in front of the table, only to see his face angular and angular, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a majestic style, it was Li Shimin, the king of Tang.
Li Shimin's face was a little uncalm and he looked at the poem on the rice paper in front of him, and he slowly raised his head for a long time.
"Shadow Guard, come and see."
Under the splendid hall, a black-clothed man in a black robe who was originally hidden in the darkness walked up and carefully held the rice paper.
"Your Majesty, this person's humanistic style is sharp and his penmanship is exquisite, especially the last sentence 'I'd rather be a centurion, not a scholar' is even more catchy, enough to become a famous article for thousands of years, if this person's words and deeds are one, it is enough to be a dragon and phoenix among people." The man in black said respectfully.
A trace of confusion flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
He said slowly: "But I really can't see through this person's words and deeds. ”
The eyes of the man in black were a little frightened, this person in the world who could not be seen by the first emperor through the ages can be said to be a handful, how could this ordinary literati Xu Yang be so valued by His Majesty?
"This person has great ambitions, not only is he familiar with the way of military training, but he is also a genius in making things."
The shock in the eyes of the man in black was incomprehensible, and when His Majesty commented on Shangshu's left servant shooting Fang Xuanling and Shangshu's right servant shooting Du Ruhui, the two founding fathers, he just said, "Fang Mou Du is decided, and he is a great talent." This nobody was actually evaluated as "a genius in the work." "It's not a bad rating.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how can this son be called a genius?" The man in black said with doubts.
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In recent months, you and I have talked about what has happened in Chang'an City?" ”
"This," the man in black pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that in April, Li Youliang, the king of Changle, and his subordinates plotted against him?" ”
Li Shimin frowned and said, "It's closer." ”
"Is that the return of the May Garden Junzhang?" The man in black asked cautiously.
Li Shimin's expression was a little embarrassed, and he said: "In the past two months, in Chang'an City, the affairs of the people. ”
"The people's business" The man in black was also sweating on his forehead, and suddenly he remembered something, and asked as if he was in the wind: "What Your Majesty wants to say, is it some of the latest goods sold by the people?" ”
Li Shimin's brows relaxed, and he said with some joy: "Say." ”
The man in black seemed to have found a topic, and hurriedly said: "If you want to say that the latest commodities sold in Chang'an City recently, it is really said that there are several strange objects from the north, one is transparent glass, which is called glass, and a piece of this glass is only sold for thirty yuan, which can be described as a very low price, and many large households in Chang'an City have replaced the doors and windows of their homes from the original paper doors and windows to the current glass, I heard that the lighting is very good, and the palace has recently planned to introduce it, but it has not yet been reported to His Majesty." ”
Li Shimin glanced at the man in black lightly and said, "What about other objects?" ”
The man in black hurriedly said: "There are a few more pieces, such as this Kouzi Cellar, this Kouzi Cellar is a kind of wine, but the wine is very strong, more than ten times richer than the strongest wine in my Tang Dynasty, I heard that drinking a bowl can make people drunk, and it is also called "a bowl of drunk", which seems to have come from the north, the price is 600 taels a bottle, which is very expensive, and is loved by some families. ”
Li Shimin glanced at him and motioned for the man in black to continue.
The man in black swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and said: "There is also a strange mechanism of the object, called 'bicycle' seems to be like an ox cart, there are two wheels underneath, which can carry people and walk, and the weight is also good, but the number of this thing is very small, I heard that there are only three cars in Chang'an City, I heard rumors that this thing will be sold in half a month, I don't know if the news is true or not." ”
After listening to this, Li Shimin jokingly said: "Yingwei, your eyeliner is all over Chang'an, but have you ever seen the so-called 'glass' drink 'Kouzijiao' and ride a 'bicycle'?" ”
"This minister, no, these are all folk things, and the minister has no time to look at them."
"You come with me." Li Shimin waved his hand, and with a slight turn on the Feiyan porcelain on the bookcase, a stone door appeared on the stone wall behind the imperial study of the East Palace.
Dense beads of sweat oozed from the head of the man in black, he knew that even if this was the core of the empire, how many prime ministers in the middle of the court would not be able to reach here, His Majesty actually let himself in this time, and a feeling of forgetting to die for His Majesty was spontaneous.
Looking at Li Shimin, who had already entered the stone gate in front, the man in black quickly followed.
,
"Twenty-seventy-four, three-eighty-twenty-four, five-seven-forty-five," an old man in a brown robe who looked like Hitler was bowing his head and writing and drawing in his notebook.
"One Seven Gets Seven, Two Seven Forty-Eight, Thirty-Eight Women's Day, May Day, June 1st Children's Day~Hahahaha~" Xu Yang jumped into the room with a laugh on his face, "Old Xie, count all day long, is the Xu method I taught you easy to count?" ”
I saw that the old man with a mustache saw Xu Yang come in, and hurriedly said: "It's easy to use, it's easy to use, this Xu family counting method invented by Xu Gongzi is very easy to use, the old man could be counted in a few hours, and now it can be completed in just one hour, but what kind of algorithm is Labor Day and Children's Day that Gongzi just said?" ”
Xu Yang's head suddenly fell full of black lines, teach you Chen Meijia's arithmetic, do you dare to use it?
"Haha, that's what I said casually, Xie Lao doesn't have to mind." Xu Yang snorted, "By the way, how is the financial situation recently, I feel that I should have made a lot of money, right?" Xu Yang asked with some excitement.
"Childe, what a lot of money." The brown-robed mustache was also excited, and said: "Let's work together to start work, and the glass produced is still sold out of stock, and now the daily glass manufacturing has tripled, with a daily output of nearly 1,000 pieces, and each piece of glass is now sold in the market for 15 taels of silver, excluding the cost, and the daily income is 13,000 square hole copper coins." ”
Xu Yang touched his chin, it's okay, not as much as he thought, I thought I had become a millionaire in Datang, but I didn't expect it to be just a 10,000 yuan household, boring.
Now that the liquor and beer business has been officially transferred to the Datang Tea Alliance Company, it is also specially looking for other accountants to deal with the money from selling wine, and the shareholders who originally joined the company have now earned a lot of money, and they wake up with a smile every day when they sleep, in fact, Xu Yang is quite distressed to give up so many interests, after all, the money earned by selling wine makes Xu Yang red-eyed, but fortunately, Xu Yang can get fifty percent of the shares every time, so that he can accept it.
Compared with selling wine to make money, Xu Yang cares more about the relationship between the ruling class and himself, and as soon as the interests of this wine are let go, the assassins of Youzhou, Taishou, and several other nearby states and counties are very polite to him, and they can be said to treat him like a guest.
This made the Liu family, who had always felt that business was a cheap business, also impressed, and it was also the best in the world to be able to do business like Xu Yang, who made the officials whisper to themselves
Chang'an, the East Palace, the underground secret palace of the imperial study.
Eighteen bright moon pearls are inlaid on the wall, and the faint fluorescence makes the whole secret room in full view.
The man in black gasped, it was really the emperor's handiwork!
He looked forward, only to see that this underground secret room is not big or small, in front of it is a screen, on the screen is the map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the blood-red piece of Turkic and the black piece of Tubo make the black-clothed man a little dizzy, the small characters densely recorded on it, whether it is the name of the place, the characteristics, the number of troops, are clearly marked.
Frightened around the screen, the man in black saw Li Shimin standing in front of a strange object, only to see him caressing the strange object, as if he was caressing a beautiful work of art.
The man in black suddenly noticed that there were two round wheels underneath the object.
"Shadow Guard, do you know what this is?" Li Shimin's eyes were a little deep and asked.
"Is this the legendary 'bicycle'?" The man in black asked in amazement.
"Exactly." Li Shimin slowly pushed the bicycle towards the man in black and said, "Try it." ”
The basement is about a hundred zhang long and wide, and it is still not small, the man in black slowly took the car, slowly pushed it forward two steps, and said, "It's really a strange thing, very labor-saving." ”
Li Shimin smiled, slowly shook his head, he took the bicycle, turned over, scared the man in black a big jump, Li Shimin was known for being proficient in equestrianism in later generations, of course, the balance is quite good, I saw him riding a bicycle, pedaling twice, and quickly circled around the house.
This time it was said that the man in black was stunned, this two-wheeled thing could be used like this, like a galloping horse.
After turning around twice, Li Shimin slowly parked the car in front of the man in black and said, "Shadow Guard, what do you think now?" ”
The man in black said with awe: "This thing is really a divine object, just like a galloping horse, as fast as a gallop. ”
Li Shimin's gaze was a little deep, he slowly stared at a night pearl and said, "Shadow Guard, you have been with me for so many years, have you ever thought that one day, this thing will replace the horse?" ”
The man in black was shocked, trembling all over, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty! This thing cannot be passed on to the people! ”
Li Shimin shook his head gently, his bright eyes reflected the night pearl, revealing a little essence, and he said slowly:
"Glass, a cellar, and a bicycle were all invented by one person."
Xu Yang!? ~" The voice of the man in black was hoarse with horror from the violent shock.
