Chapter 492: Hanging on the Palace

"Smart people are troublesome ......"

The empress muttered helplessly, now that she thinks about it, she really didn't care too much at the time, resulting in the use of 'Imperial Sword Flight', and it is not surprising that Lin Zifan can confirm her identity.

Fortunately, no one else was aware of this, as long as Lin Zifan didn't go out and talk nonsense, the civil and military officials would not know about it, and the empress would not be bothered by others.

But Lin Zifan, in the heart of the empress, has always been a typical example of being as wise as a demon, and it is estimated that he will not say this!

Thinking of this, the empress instantly felt at ease......

"That's not right!"

Suddenly, the empress slammed the table: "Where's my wine?"

The empress has always been unhappy without drinking, and she has been walking this way with Lin Zifan for more than half a month, almost without drinking, and she has long been extremely uncomfortable......

Now I finally have the opportunity to get some good wine, but I forgot about it?

......

Leaving Qifeng Pavilion, Lin Zifan did not go directly to the Logistics Mansion, but rushed all the way to the department......

Before leaving, the laying of the water pipes was almost complete, and now it is necessary to see how far it has come.

"Having said that, when did the empress hide in the Praetorian Guard?" Lin Zifan thought for a while: "The last possibility is the time when she rested outside Chang'an City that day, right?"

"I remember that at that time, there was a guard who came back after a long time, and he was scolded by Captain Han for being lazy and urinating......"

"Uh...... If you didn't guess wrong, at that time, Captain Han was already scolding the empress, right?"

"If she knows, she actually scolds the empress for being lazy and peeing a lot...... I'm afraid it's going to scare you?"

Thinking of this, Lin Zifan couldn't help but laugh, and walked out of the palace all the way, only to find that there were many people outside pointing fingers at the top of his head......

He looked back and was instantly amused......

Han Xue, Captain Han, was tied with a rope and hung like a zongzi at the head of the city, fluttering in the wind...... If you don't know, you think there's a captive hanging there!

"Yo, Captain Han, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Zifan exclaimed, although he knew that nine times out of ten it was the empress's 'revenge', he still couldn't help but want to 'tease' Han Xue......

"Lord Lin?" Han Xue lowered her head with difficulty, looked at Lin Zifan seven or eight meters below, and wanted to cry without tears: "The last general doesn't know! Not long after he came back, he was ordered by His Majesty to hang at the gate of the palace, and I don't know why, it seems that it will be hung for three days!"

"Maybe it's the last general who is not good to protect the adults?"

"Probably!" Lin Zifan was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was very sympathetic: "It's really embarrassing for Captain Han, in fact, you have done your best, and I haven't had any problems......"

"That's it, Your Majesty...... cough cough cough ......" Han Xue said to her mouth, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and even changed the topic with a dry cough: "That...... , Lord Lin, can you ask Your Majesty for a favor and let me go?"

"It's a shame to hang on to the city like this, to be pointed at, and all my subordinates have seen it!"

"Well...... It's easy to say, but whether Your Majesty is willing to let you down or not, that's not necessarily. Lin Zifan waved his hand, stopped teasing Han Xue, and went all the way......

Let you say that my empress is lazy and pees, although those who don't know are not to blame, but ...... cough cough cough, dignified Yuanzun, hang on the palace gate for a few days and won't die...... I can only 'wrong' you.

When they came to the department, Xiong Chumo and the Li sisters immediately stepped forward to report the achievements of the department during this time......

"My lord, the main water pipeline has been laid, just wait for the adults to come back, and then we can carry out the last step!" Xiong Chumo had a happy expression on his face, obviously satisfied with the results of the department.

"My lord, our sisters' 'assembly line' production has also achieved initial results, almost all the fine iron has been made into grenades, and the remaining small part, at most two or three days, can be completely completed!"

The Li family sisters are also quite proud, with so many grenades, even if there is a real fight, Datang is not worthy...... , at least for a short time, can hit the enemy country and doubt life!

What's more, the food crisis in Datang is actually far less serious than people in other countries speculated, and Lin Zifan's six suggestions have played a vital role!

For example, bacon and potato chips, fries, etc......

These things, in the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, are extremely fresh, but they are actually very popular......

Bacon, which seems to be dark and doesn't seem to be very tasty, but in fact, it has a different fragrance, which makes people unforgettable when they eat it, of course, the disadvantage is that it is too salty, and you need to drink more water!

Fortunately, Datang is not a desert country, and there is no shortage of water, which can be ignored...... On the contrary, the emergence of bacon has made the people eat a kind of 'taste', and even their appetite has improved a lot!

French fries and potato chips, although they are only snacks on the earth, can be used as staple foods when there are more of them and there are not so many miscellaneous spices!

However, in this era, there is a general shortage of oil, so most of them are 'baked' instead of fried!

When eating, people don't like to eat it directly, but prefer to cook it with water, but these forests don't have to worry about it.

Anyway, if he has food, he can eat enough, and he won't starve, even if he successfully completes his task, he is worthy of the empress's trust!

After understanding all the details, Lin Zifan nodded with satisfaction!

"Good job, next, before the winter comes, get all the tap water in Chang'an!"

"Yes, sir!"

received a compliment, and all the women responded with a smile.

In fact, the tobacco has also been shipped back, and it is all piled up in the warehouse at the moment, but for a while, Lin Zifan can't find time to get it, and besides, anyway, there is time after winter, so he is ready to do some things that are inconvenient in winter as soon as possible.

At present, the water pipeline has been laid outside the palace, and in Chang'an, there are reserved water pipe outlets at the door of every household, so to speak, it is completely in accordance with Lin Zifan's standards.

In this regard, Lin Zifan was naturally very satisfied.

And the next water pipe to enter the house, in fact, is not difficult!

After all, if you just want to achieve a simple tap water function, you can get the water pipes right and add a faucet.

But the hard part is, how to keep it beautiful!

For example, in modern society, water pipes are hidden in the walls, and they are not visible from the outside!

"Fortunately, ordinary people don't have to worry so much about their homes, as long as the water pipes in the palace are designed to be hidden!"

In this regard, Lin Zifan already had a draft in his heart......
