Chapter 249: The Foreign Envoy Arrives
Autumn goes and winter comes.
By the time the army returned to Chang'an City, it was almost the end of the year.
Li Shimin personally set up a reception banquet.
The Turkic heart disease for many years has been removed, and he is happy in his heart!
While waiting for the army to come back, the cement factory on the side of the eldest grandson Wuji was officially put into production.
It doesn't matter if you build a house or build a road, you have the conditions.
Like some kind of mining, building river embankments, etc., etc., etc
There's a lot of work to be done!
These Turkic captives don't have to worry about having nowhere to go!
On the steel side, production has increased again.
Now the popularity rate of weapons and armor made of stainless steel in the army is almost half!
There was also a new development on the steam engine.
Although it still failed in the end, Li Tai said that success was not far away!
During this time, Cao Ze was not idle, and he came out with a few more things.
The first is papermaking.
Although it is not as advanced as the mechanized papermaking technology before the crossing, it is enough for the current Datang!
The technology itself was not too difficult, and it didn't take a few days to make the first batch of finished products.
Looking at the white paper, Li Shimin was so excited!
The reason why the Maison is called a cancer is because they have a firm grasp of knowledge.
If the monopoly on knowledge can be broken, then the Maison will not have to worry!
Now with paper, this prerequisite is there!
According to the cost of this papermaking technology, ordinary people will be able to afford it in the future!
Then Cao Ze gave him another surprise: movable type printing!
Cao Ze has always been able to do this thing, but he didn't have papermaking skills before, so it doesn't make much sense to take it out.
Soon.
A large number of brand-new books appeared in bookstores in Chang'an City.
And it's outrageously cheap!
As a result, it sold out like crazy all at once!
At first, it was only students from Chang'an City and the surrounding areas who came to buy it.
Later, even people from distant states and counties came here!
Li Shimin struck while the iron was hot, and asked Fang Xuanling to improve the imperial examination system.
This set of tricks came out, and the family was completely panicked!
In the past, they did suffer many losses at the hands of Cao Ze and Li Shimin.
But those are nothing compared to this crisis!
If the monopoly on knowledge is broken, then they are really finished!
The heads of several families gathered together and desperately thought about countermeasures.
But after thinking about it, I found that there seemed to be no way......
After the army came back this time, Cao Ze's identity as an immortal was completely exposed!
Especially when Cao Ze flew into the air and controlled the wolves to make the Turks surrender.
At first it came from the mouths of the soldiers, and then from the mouths of the storytellers.
These guys eat by mouth, so they will inevitably have to be processed and recreated a little.
And because of personal style, everyone's version is very different......
Some say that the immortals called for wind and rain, attracting heavenly thunder to defeat the Turkic army.
Some say that the immortals scattered beans into soldiers and summoned heavenly soldiers and generals.
There is also the practice of opening the altar in front of the two armies of the immortals, and the Turks surrendered without a fight.
……
In short, the more you talk about it, the more exaggerated it becomes.
Even Cao Ze himself was stunned!
it!
I didn't even know that I was so awesome!
……
Now Cao Ze's prestige among the people has reached its peak all of a sudden!
After all, what existence could be more attractive than a living immortal!
Immortal!
Alive!
It's a little exciting to think about it!
Thinking about it this way, the people feel that the air in Chang'an City is fresher than before!
Immortal!
This must be immortal!
You have to take a few more sips, maybe it will cure all diseases and prolong your life!
Such a Cao Ze, their family will take the lead to deal with it?
If they really dare to show the slightest unfriendliness to Cao Ze, I'm afraid they will be drowned in saliva!
The importance of the people's heart, their family is very clear.
Give them how much courage they have, and they don't dare to risk the world's condemnation.
Besides.
Even if they really go out to fight, they don't have that capital!
Don't say it's Cao Ze.
They couldn't pass the level of Li Shimin's bomb alone......
The days went by.
I didn't think of a way to do it, but they had less and less hair......
In the end, these patriarchs had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate......
It's definitely not going to work.
Let's hold on......
After all, no one knows how long the immortal thing will live.
He died and still had a son, and when his son died, he still had a grandson.
If the children and grandchildren survive, maybe they will die one day......
……
And the second thing Cao Ze took out was the drawing of the generator.
This really made Li Tai very excited!
He had been thinking about such a magical thing as electricity for a long time!
The drawings produced by the system are naturally extremely detailed.
Li Tai and the others spent a month to give the first sample.
It sounds like an exaggeration, but it's not an exaggeration at all.
After all, this thing does not involve much advanced technology, and Datang's conditions can be completely completed.
The reason why some technologies have taken a long time to implement is that this time is basically spent in the process of exploration.
Take the simplest light bulb, for example.
The time spent is mainly spent on finding the right wire.
If you know that tungsten wire is the most suitable from the beginning, then there is no difficulty in talking about it in an instant.
Now Li Tai and the others have obtained the most detailed drawings, and Li Tai himself is talented, so it is naturally not difficult to make.
However, limited by Datang's technology, the generator made is really not small, and the wires are particularly thick.
Fortunately, everything is working fine.
After the visit, Cao Ze smacked his lips.
Let's not talk about this size.
Now the wire is so bare, which is obviously very unsafe.
But Datang doesn't have such a thing as rubber, and it seems that the insulating skin can't be made......
If the safety problem cannot be solved, then the generator can only be a laboratory product and cannot be popularized.
Then Cao Ze said his thoughts, and described the general appearance of the rubber tree by the way.
"I've met a merchant from Annan before." Litai's eyes lit up: "They seem to have this kind of rubber tree over there." ”
"Annanguo?" Cao Ze touched the handful: "It looks like I have to go over there for a run......"
"National teacher." Li Shimin was excited all of a sudden: "When are we going to send troops?" ”
After experiencing the two battles of Gaochang and Turkic, Li Shimin has completely tasted the sweetness!
Now he seems to have become a war madman!
On the one hand, there is the violent crushing brought about by hot weapons.
Fighting a war is like mowing grass, don't want it!
The second and most important point is the benefits!
The demise of the Turks provided countless cattle, sheep and horses for the Tang Dynasty.
In the future, the Turks will also become the horse farm of Datang, and a steady stream of Datang will provide excellent horses!
After the Tang Army, there will be no shortage of horses!
It's no fucking different from grabbing money!
Speaking of which......
This seems to be a robbery......
No matter!
Anyway, I'm happy!!
"It looks like the Chinese New Year is coming." Cao Ze gave him a big roll of his eyes: "Don't tell me that you still plan to run out and toss at this time." ”
Li Shimin's face was full of embarrassment and he stopped talking.
That's right, too.
Let's wait for the beginning of spring next year......
A few days later.
Two groups of people came to Datang.
Tubo representative, Lu Dongzan.
Silla representatives, Kim Seung-man and Kim Seung-man sisters.
And the identity of the sisters of the Jin family is not simple.
Kindman is not only an envoy to Tang, but also the current king of Silla!
