Chapter 41: The Pipa

"Just do as you say."

In the end, Li Er made a difficult decision.

Let your craftsmen come out and help.

The main thing is to want Datang to get better quickly.

That's all I can do.

"Then ...... price," Li Zhong asked again.

Li Er said: "You can't use it for the purpose of collecting money, it's good to recover the capital." ”

……

Then Li Zhong began to organize artisan production.

To be honest, it's quite a hassle.

So...... In order to allow himself to be idle, Li Chong asked Li Chengqian to deal with these matters on the grounds that he wanted to train His Royal Highness the Prince.

Actually, there's not much to do.

First of all, it is natural to prepare materials.

You don't need wood to make a pedal reel, and I don't know how many trees will be cut down.

But fortunately, there was still a lot of wood near Chang'an City in the early Tang Dynasty.

But after the cut, we still have to find a way to replant it.

Sustainability needs to be taken into account.

Then, organize craftsmen to build assembly lines.

Each craftsman is only responsible for his or her own part, which is then assembled.

In fact......

The ancients had considerable experience in this regard.

Finally, the establishment of a file, who borrowed it, and when to pay it back, these must be recorded.

After this set, to be honest, Li Chong felt that it would not be less than what Li Chengqian had learned from the country.

The grass warbler flies in February days.

In the temple.

After completing the final finishing work of breaking through the sky, Li Chong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He began to write in August and September of the first year of Zhenguan, which lasted almost a year and a half, and finally finished writing Dou Breaking the Sky.

It's a pity that the current Datang is still too poor, and there are not enough literate people.

So it can't support this market.

But now, Li Chong doesn't expect it to make money.

It's already very good to be able to give this story a beginning and an end.

……

"Teacher."

Li Chengqian came back from outside alone, and when he came back, he respectfully saluted Li Chong.

Small, not a little tall.

On the outside, he is suave.

It's nice to look at.

Li Zhong put down the pen in his hand while reading the final ending of Breaking the Firmament.

"I'm back."

Li Chengqian continued: "You're back, what are you doing, teacher?" ”

"Of course, it took a year and a half to write a novel, and I finally finished writing Breaking the Sky. I was finally able to sleep peacefully. ”

Li Chengqian heard the teacher's words, and speaking of which, he hadn't read the teacher's novel for a long time.

After all...... How can fiction be realistically interesting.

But at this time, he still said: "Can Qian'er take a look?" ”

"Look at it as you like."

And then......

Li Chengqian came up, picked up the paper and looked at it seriously, and found that, to be honest, except for the name Xiao Yan, who was quite familiar, he didn't know what was written.

However, he didn't care.

Anyway......

He wasn't interested.

"How's going on the craftsman's side?"

"It's okay, and it went well today."

"Hmm."

Then Li Zhong was relieved.

It's a pity that there is another drought in Datang this year, otherwise, Li Chong would like to go out for a spring outing.

Right now......

Let's keep it low-key.

After all, everyone is busy in the field, and as a result, you are playing outside alone, so the impact is not good.

The imaginary Datang has a good life, not at all.

Now, there are only four concubines who can make him feel that it is good to come to Datang.

"I asked the Academy of Sciences to study the threshing machine, how did they do it?"

The pedal reeling cart has been made, and the next step is naturally to conquer the threshing machine.

Now the people of Datang are quite primitive, and threshing is all done by hand.

Li Chong felt that this could actually be improved.

There is also the zigzag plow.

However, Li Zhong feels that there may not be no prototype of the Quyuan plow in the Jiangdong area of the Tang Dynasty today, but people do not know scientific knowledge, let alone how to analyze the force, so the plow used by everyone will seem strange.

Anyway......

You just say if you can use it, and if you can use it, you can use it.

Moreover, in fact, the people are not stupid, they also vaguely know how to use it to save effort, but they don't know the most labor-saving method.

Li Zhong paced, there was something else to fiddle with.

Like, it's gone.

It would be nice if you were an engineering student and had your own library.

Pity.

However, it stands to reason that Datang's technology is not bad.

For example, the water mill, which is a 12-hour fully automatic grain hulling machine, it is said that as long as there is one such water mill, it can basically lie down and wait for the money. Otherwise, why not Princess Taiping, she will have to grab water from the temple.

Although, it cannot be ruled out that she may have other political goals attached to this.

Li Zhong sighed.

When can you enjoy yourself?

If you can travel to the Tang Dynasty.

Look at the furnishings in this temple.

Suddenly, it didn't smell good at all.

However, there is also a quaint good.

"Qian'er, what instrument do you like?"

Li Zhong suddenly asked.

"Huh? What? ”

"I ask you what instrument you like."

"This ...... Why did the teacher suddenly ask that? ”

"I'm going to learn an instrument next."

Well!

He was going to ask an orchid to teach him.

In fact......

His concubines are not impossible.

Maybe even pretty good at it.

Just, right......

You can't let your concubine contact Li Chengqian.

Therefore, it is very important to find individual women to teach.

I didn't want to take Li Chengqian to play.

Because he just wants to learn.

This is none of Li Chengqian's business, but he has to watch Li Chengqian from time to time to prevent him from making mistakes, and this can only be the case.

"Qian'er doesn't know what musical instrument Qian'er likes."

Li Chengqian said.

"Hmm...... Then what I learn, you follow what you learn. ”

Subsequently......

Li Chong enrolled the two of them in a class.

In fact......

It may be better to find a musician in Li Eryao's palace, and it is estimated that he will teach it for free.

But if it's a musician in the palace, it might be too serious.

Therefore, Li Chong quickly gave up the idea of a musician in the palace.

It's better to ask the wild to teach.

Learn the lute.

After all, the pipa should be the most popular musical instrument in Datang.

During the day, he studied with beautiful women, and at night, Li Chong also studied how to play vertically.

The concubines in the family smelled the smell of other women on him, so they were naturally jealous.

But Li Zhong can swear to God that he has learned seriously.

Learn from beautiful women during the day, and learn from concubines at night.

Li Chong's pipa technique is also winning day by day.

This makes Li Chengqian very strange.

Why do teachers learn faster than they do?

So......

His eyes flickered—was he really his teacher!

By the end of March, Li Chong was able to play the full tune on the pipa.

Although......

This must not be comparable to those who have studied for two or three years.

But Li Chong is also a half-out teacher.
