Section 710 New Palace Night Banquet [Second Shift]
The next day, when Li Yuanxing woke up, it was almost noon. It's so tiring these days.
Wu Cao woke up earlier and was sitting there eating snacks.
Seeing Li Yuanxing wake up, Wu Cao said: "Isn't your Princess Changying pregnant, this is an excuse." Give them some good things for the Li family, I calculated it, among the six rooms of their Li family, the one in Liaodong is good in Liliang in Youzhou because it has not been affected by the war. ”
Li Yuanxing didn't speak, and went to touch the cigarette next to the pillow.
Wu Cao said again: "Aren't the Khitans going to fight, you can encourage Li Changying to intervene and help the Khitan king." ”
Li Yuanxing still didn't speak, picked up Wu Cao's cup of milk and drank it, then stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, squinted his eyes but asked irlevantly: "You said, Jinghe Power Plant can already be used." ”
"I'm talking about Li Changying!" Wu Cao saw that Li Yuanxing came to get her snack again, grabbed Li Yuanxing's hand and took a bite.
Li Yuanxing just smiled, and didn't take it seriously at all.
Wu Cao approached Li Yuanxing and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, what are you thinking?" Weishenme has been balancing the shili of various families, but it has not weakened at all, and it has never been particularly fierce in its expansion, but it has only supported the weak side! ”
"I'll talk about it when grandpa comes. You don't understand that yet. ”
"And what about what I just proposed?" Wu Cao asked again.
"Okay, that's a good idea. How about adding another match factory? Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.
Wu Cao nodded, quickly recorded it on the tablet, and then said, "The opening of the new palace is done. I'm going on a month off. ”
"After the New Year, you will be given a month off!" Li Yuanxing is bargaining.
"I'm going to dig for jadeite, and you're going to let me go too?" Wu Cao asked Li Yuanxing with a smile, but Li Yuanxing nodded seriously: "It's okay to dig once, don't go to that place too much." Now it's not the territory of Datang, it's Tufan. Actually, I'd prefer you to use the new airship after 10,000 miles of test flights! ”
Wu Cao nodded contentedly.
After having lunch in the old palace, Li Yuanxing and Li Er went to the new palace together. The new palace is located in Longshouyuan, about ten miles north of the old palace. The main gate is still on the central axis of Chang'an City. This was calculated by the Tang Heavenly Officials. There's no way anyone can change it.
The palace is five miles from north to south and eight miles from east to west, covering an area of forty square miles (not kilometers). The front palace has no walls, while the back palace has a wall that is seven feet high. The width is seven feet. Do not ride horses. But you can walk up a few people side by side.
The palace is designed with an artificial lake that diverts water from the Wei River.
The Jinghe Power Plant, in fact, is located at the confluence of the Ba River and the Wei River. To the north, it is about a mile away from the Jing River, although it is at the confluence of the three rivers, it can be closer to the Jing River, so it is named the Jinghe Power Plant.
The power plant is 40 miles away from the new palace, and according to the 13 poles per mile, more than 50 poles are used to the power plant.
It is impossible for the power distribution room to be placed in the palace, so a separate power distribution room was built on the east side of the palace, and two lines were divided, one leading to Chang'an City and the other leading to the palace.
Wu Cao personally went to the Jinghe Power Plant, and she made an appointment with Li Yuanxing to officially send electricity after dark.
Li Er and Li Yuanxing stood in the new hall in the palace, but Li Er didn't feel that there was anything special about his hall, at least not as gorgeous as the palace pasted with dozens of catties of gold in the former Sui.
It's big enough, and it's imposing.
"How about lifting the entire curfew in Chang'an City tonight?" Li Yuanxing asked Li Er.
Li Er was puzzled: "Is there anything special?" ”
"Let Chang'an order collect more taxes!" Li Yuanxing responded with a smile.
Li Er daxiao: "How much tax can be collected, Gorou is really telling a joke." Li Yuanxing didn't laugh, turned around and said to Gonggong Gao: "Gonggong Gao, help this king pass a word, just say that this king asked Jing Zhaoyin to bring Chang'an Ling to the new palace, and there is an errand to work hard for them." ”
"Your Highness, despite your orders, don't you dare to say a word for help!" Father-in-law Gao asked the little eunuch to pass the word, and at the same time whispered back to Li Yuanxing.
Just summoned someone, Li Er didn't take it seriously.
"Goro, for my brother, the lamp in front of the gate of this palace doesn't seem to be as good as the original study." Li Er saw the lamp, he had seen and used this thing.
Li Yuanxing said with a smile: "The thickness of the glass of the small lamp on the imperial brother's table is only as thick as a piece of paper. The yield rate is extremely low, and a finished product costs almost 100 yuan. This kind of is very easy to make, one is only five or six cents, and a hundred are broken at most one or two. ”
The new lamp that Li Yuanxing said, that lamp can be used as a canned bottle in Wu Cao's words.
It can be thicker, make it larger, and it is relatively easy to pump and re-inflate, and it is not easy to break.
What kind of power or something, Li Yuanxing has not tested it, and this is not his specialty.
It is very difficult to learn art in ancient times, and having the opportunity to learn advanced skills represents wealth, the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty are very hard, and there will be night schools in the workshop under the name of the Qin Wangfu at night, not only the craftsmen of the workshop under the name of the Qin Wangfu will come, but also the people outside will come to listen to it.
Some people even traveled ten miles to listen to the lectures, rain or shine.
"Gorou, you don't want to wrap your brother's chair in gold. You're so stingy. Li Er continued to pick thorns.
In Li Er's eyes, his new palace is really poor to the extreme.
Speaking of chairs, Li Yuanxing was reluctant: "Brother Huang, my brother wants to say something, you don't know the goods!" ”
"Knowing the goods, can wood be more valuable than gold?" Li Er's tone was also a few degrees higher, and the new palace really disappointed him, at least in Li Er's eyes, the royal family should be full of luxury.
Li Yuanxing sighed: "This wood is a few plants that my brother Tuo Feng Ang spent a lot of effort on. Brother Huang went to smell the wood and smelled it. ”
After Li Er smelled it, he said in surprise: "The fragrant breath is wood, or Gorou asked someone to paint it." ”
"Small-leaved rosewood, it takes less than an inch to grow in a hundred years, and it will take thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, to grow into a thick tree. What's more, there is no big tree at all. When the tree grows to seven inches, it has the saying that there are ten trees and nine emptiness, that is, the outside looks complete, and the inside is empty. ”
Li Er listened to the novelty and couldn't help but be interested.
Li Yuanxing continued: "This plant, one zhang and three inches, Feng Ang sent people to run southwest for more than a thousand miles to find it. It is definitely the king of red sandalwood, this tree is known as invincible, immortal, made into a chair for hundreds of years, the fragrance will not disappear, and sitting on this chair, there is also the effect of strengthening the body. ”
Li Er then began to look at this chair again, it felt first-class, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Li Yuanxing said again: "Who will pull a piece like this, red sandalwood in Chang'an, according to the weight, ten times the amount of gold, how many ministers and brothers will collect." And the cash transaction is absolutely not discounted. After that, Li Yuanxing took out a few carved wooden pieces: "Brother Huang, this wood has another name, called Qinglong Wood, to ward off evil spirits." ”
"I'm not afraid to shop around, I'm afraid I don't know the goods." Li Er said with emotion.
Li Yuanxing smiled: "Brother Huang, there will be no electricity and the lights will not be on." The marble used on the ground is a very rare sky blue marble, the pillars are wrapped in white marble, although the wood used for doors and windows is not as good as this green dragon wood, but it is definitely something that dares to compare the price with gold, the younger brother said that it is unpleasant, it is the palace, in terms of weight, let whoever exchange it with the same weight of gold, he dreams of stealing fun, we don't need people to really understand these things, even if they don't know the goods, even if they laugh at our Datang poor! ”
Haha!
Li Er was heartily daxiao.
I remember that Wu Cao once said that Li Yuanxing's favorite thing is low-key luxury.
Sometimes it seems that Li Yuanxing is thrifty, but many of the things he eats and uses are rare in the world. Li Yuanxing only cares about the actual benefits, who cares about being laughed at for being poor and sour.
But Li Er is different, he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and publicity is his personality.
secretly gave a look to Grandpa Gao. With a look, how smart Grandpa Gao was, he immediately understood, what Li Yuanxing just said, especially the chair, he would definitely spread the news.
Let's not do that kind of night walk in brocade clothes, wear gorgeous clothes, and walk under the sun.
"This Gorou, for my brother, there is an empty piece on the back of this chair, and it happens to be inlaid with a piece of high-quality jade!"
"Don't wait, my brother will let Mingyue personally pick up the stones again after a while, and get a few pieces of the best ones when the time comes, and the royal brother will use that one if he sees that one is good." Then use the best jadeite to make a few wine glasses, and use the small dish for the royal brother to eat. Or the paperweights, pen holders, and pen holders on the table are all replaced with the best jadeite? ”
Li Er was stunned for a moment, hahadaxiao: "Wulang, I heard it for my brother." You're talking the other way. ”
"Wine glasses are the truth!" Li Yuanxing also followed daxiao.
Jing Zhao Yin Dugu Xiude arrived, and he heard laughter in the hall from a distance. After letting the eunuch pass a word outside the door of His Highness, he was allowed to enter the palace.
As soon as he saw Dugu Xiude, Li Er said loudly: "Wulang got a wooden chair for me." Just to make the world think that I am simpler, I want to tell you. This wood is not ordinary, ten times the gold is not exchanged for the best green dragon wood, I just want to let the world know that I am rich in the Tang Dynasty! ”
What is this? Dugu Xiude didn't understand, and he called himself here for this purpose.
Li Yuanxing greeted him with a smile, and after taking the initiative to give a salute:
"Dugu Mansion Yin, this king has some troublesome things to worry about. I didn't come to listen to the royal brother's pleasures. What this king means is that there will be no curfew in Chang'an tonight, and then someone will be sent to each store to inquire about how much income the store will be added to if there is no curfew. Zuihou means that at night, Chang'an City will be as bright as daytime. ”
Li Er also said loudly: "Cultivating virtue, order the rich businessmen of Chang'an." I'm in a good mood tonight, and I'm happy with the people. Some wealthy businessmen are allowed to come to the palace to participate in gambling stones, and the chamber of commerce that has been rewarded by heavy taxes from the household department can gamble three yuan. The rest is either two pieces, or one piece. Then arrange ten of the most famous restaurants in Chang'an, and the palace is bigger. Cost required......"
Referring to the expense, Li Er glanced at Li Yuanxing, daxiao.
"Qin Wangfu pays!" (To be continued......)
