Chapter 68 Modernization
When Jin Shengman met his sister at the dock, he cried so that a pear blossom brought rain, and even Liu Mengli couldn't help crying on the side.
Queen Jindeok didn't expect that the sea ship escorting her sister back to Silla would be hijacked by the Japanese invaders, and now that she thinks about it, she is afraid for a while, if it weren't for Xu Yang's warship passing by and saving her sister, God knows what those perverted savages of the Japanese Kingdom will do to her sister.
Queen Jindeok immediately took off the emerald green bracelet in her hand and handed it to Xu Yang, performed the highest etiquette of Silla, and said in a grateful tone: "Thank you for saving my sister, we Silla owe you a permanent favor." ”
Xu Yang was a little embarrassed, "The queen doesn't have to be polite, but I owe Silla a favor." ”
Queen Zhende was a little unclear, so Jin Shengman pulled her aside with a blushing face, and told her what he had promised.
Queen Zhende listened to Jin Shengman's introduction, her face suddenly changed, and she glanced at Xu Yang up and down a few times in disbelief, and finally sighed lightly, and said: "You are the general of the Tang Dynasty, my sister and I have been dependent on each other since childhood, although both parents died, but at least there are a group of servants and servants, I hope Shengman follows you, you don't let her suffer." ”
Xu Yang bowed and clenched his fists, "Manly man, the sky is above, I, Xu, will definitely take care of Princess Deshan." ”
Queen Jindeok sighed, and her tone became a little sad: "Now that the princess has not gone back, presumably Silla is already in chaos, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is obviously unwilling to send troops, and now I can only go back to the town in person, hoping to save the last bit of fire in my Silla." ”
When Jin Shengman heard this, he stepped forward and hugged Queen Deshan in pain, "Sister, I want to go back with you!" ”
Queen Deshan's tone was a little stern: "Don't mess around anymore, with General Xu's care, you can live in Datang with peace of mind, and when you have the opportunity in the future, you will ask the Tang Emperor to send troops to restore my Silla!" ”
Jin Shengman was already pear blossoms and rain at this time, and I felt pity.
"I don't think Her Majesty the Queen has to go back in such a hurry, although I am not talented, but at least I still speak in the court, as for the dispatch of troops to Silla, I think I am still somewhat sure." Xu Yang chuckled and nodded.
Queen Deshan looked at Xu Yang with some surprise, "I think the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has been worried about the Turks in the north, and he has been using the return of your ocean-going fleet as an excuse not to allow troops, and now that you are back, when I asked the emperor of the Tang Dynasty when he would send troops, he actually replied that he needs to think about it in the long run, so I don't think your emperor will agree with you lightly." ”
"The Tang Dynasty is in a period of development, and the Turks in the north have not been completely wiped out, so of course a large number of troops cannot be sent to support Silla at this time." Xu Yang had an expression that you don't know.
Queen Deshan's face was a little bad, "You know that you can't send troops, why are you still ridiculing here?" ”
"I just said you can't send a lot of troops, did I say you can't send troops? Against a gang of Goryeo sticks, I only need to send a team to drag the battle into the cold winter. Xu Yang raised his head proudly, and the battle in which the artillery battleship crushed the Japanese invaders gave him great confidence.
"A squad?" Queen Deokseon was also almost laughed at angrily, "Do you know how many troops there are in Goryeo, Baekje, and Wa Kingdom?" A whole hundred thousand! It's just that where are the 100,000 pigs for Datang's army to kill, is one squad enough? ”
"Hehe, don't say it's 100,000 Goryeo sticks, even if a million Goryeo sticks come, what's the matter?!" Xu Yang's tone exuded an incomparably powerful pride and confidence, "I, Datang, only need one team to destroy it." ”
With the return of the ocean-going fleet, Datang ushered in a grand carnival again.
With the passing of the locust plague and the introduction of high-yield crops, Li Er finally issued a decree of amnesty to the world.
Countless bandits who hid in the mountains and forests began to come out, because they gradually found that the people they robbed were getting richer and richer, and of course the guards accompanying them were becoming more and more strict, and the bandits were becoming more and more sluggish, which was a sign that the prosperous era was coming.
Hundreds of people are looking forward to high-yield crops, three-season rice can only be planted in the tropics, so Chang'an did not introduce, only in Quanzhou and Lingnan planted some, now, the real high-yield crops have arrived in Datang, potatoes, corn and tomatoes, these Chang'an people have never heard of the good seeds, now in the palace of the forbidden garden planting, heard of this year, can gradually popularize.
"Datang News" has gone crazy recently, two newspapers a day, serializing the navigation logs of seafarers, these accompanying seafarers in overseas experience of all kinds of thrilling and novel adventures expressed in the form of words, suddenly attracted the attention of the entire Chang'an people, it was very popular, the daily sales of the newspaper suddenly exceeded 20,000 copies, and now the paper mill behind Zhongnan Mountain has been working overtime all day and night in papermaking, so it can not meet the newspaper demand in Chang'an, let alone Luoyang.
The steel mill, the coal mill, and the paper mill all work in three shifts for twelve hours a day, and the huge fish oil lamps are lit at night, and the workers work in them day and night.
In the depths of Zhongnan Mountain, there is also a secret military base in Datang, where there is a huge sound of artillery all day long, which also disturbs a radius of dozens of miles, all the beasts flee, and thousands of mountains and birds fly.
In short, Xu Yang listened to Liu Mengli's chatter on the way back to Xujiazhuang, which made him very satisfied.
The change in the road leading to Xujiazhuang is also surprising, as all the primeval forests have been cut down to make way for them, and Liu Mengli said that these huge trees are now either made into mahjong or sent to paper mills, and the demand for wood is increasing day by day.
Speaking of mahjong, Xu Yang also casually asked about the situation of the Chang'an business and leisure club, but he didn't expect Liu Mengli to smile and whisper to Xu Yang, the monthly business club is divided into thousands of yuan, basically the income of a club is enough for all the expenses of the entire Zhuangzi, not to mention the glass factory, the steel factory is divided.
Xu Yang was very curious about how the business club's profits were so big now, Liu Mengli quietly told Xu Yang, the reason was because Emperor Taishang Li Yuan went out of the palace for the first time a few months ago to go to the business club for leisure, but he didn't expect this to be out of control, the Emperor Taishang was completely attracted by mahjong, not to mention that there are also foot baths, KTV and other unexpected services, and the Emperor Taishang has to come to the club every day to relax.
As soon as this limelight is released, the world's wealthy businessmen flock to it, spend some money to play a few laps in the club, and the eight achievements can meet the emperor, if you can play a table of mahjong with the emperor, it is simply death without regrets, so all the families and wealthy families around the world are enshrined in the business club as a holy place.
There is only one place in the world that does not discriminate against businessmen, that is, business clubs, where you don't look at your official position, don't look at how much you know, and don't look at your number, only look at the money in your wallet, there is money there is the uncle, the best room, the most comfortable maid, the most pleasant music, all for you, how can you not let those businessmen who seek attention everywhere like heaven.
When Xu Yang heard this, he smiled proudly at the corner of his mouth, what he earned was the money of these local tyrants, they were rich, but they were willful, and you couldn't help it.
"By the way, how is Nanshan Academy doing now?" Xu Yang asked about Chang'an, and finally thought of the Nanshan Academy that he had worked hard for, when the academy library was built, his printer had been printing day and night for more than half a month, and the books in it were enough for these Tang Dynasty people to study for a lifetime.
"I don't go to the academy often, but other young people in the village like to go there to play football, where the scholars study, and women rarely go there." Liu Mengli said softly helplessly.
"Oh, I forgot about this stubble" Xu Yang nodded, thinking that a women's branch college would be built in the future, so that those students could learn more enthusiastically.
"By the way, this year's primary school of the academy will start enrolling, and I heard that this time the children of the princely family will come to school." Liu Mengli said with a smile.
"Hey, hey." Xu Yang also nodded yes, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and the large army of the little princelings are finally going to accept their great transformation, thinking of this, Xu Yang showed an evil smile again. R1152
