Fourteen years of Yuan Heng.

Su Dingfang is seriously ill, and if his son-in-law doesn't say it, Li Chong doesn't know.

After hearing that Su Dingfang was seriously ill, Li Chengqian also asked Doctor Sun to take a look.

I can only say that this is sometimes, old age is such a thing, even if it is Doctor Sun, there is nothing to do.

But here's the good news......

In the past few years, Zhang Renqing has learned Su Dingfang's art of war.

Yao Yuanchong also learned here, but he only learned roughly, and he was not as interested in learning as Zhang Renchong and his own ideas.

After listening to his son-in-law's words, Li Zhong also sighed, "This life, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature. It's good to be alive so far. Su Lie is over 70 years old this year."

Zhang Renyan said, "Teacher, he is seventy-six this year."

Li Chong said: "That's it, throughout the ages, people who can generally live to be eighty years old are relatively few."

"It's just that people have to sigh that his death, perhaps, is the end of an era."

I saw that both of them were sitting there with good babies, staring at themselves, looking incomprehensible.

Li Chong also explained: "Now, the founding generals of the Tang Dynasty have all passed away."

"Su Lie is in the same era as them, and Su Lie's departure means that all the people in the first generation of the Tang Dynasty who can fight well are gone. However...... There are few of these new generations who seem to be powerful."

"Datang's next foreign war, I'm afraid it's going to be discounted."

Yao Yuanchong said, "Isn't there still Brother Zhang?"

Li looked at Zhang Rengan again, and it was obvious that his eyes revealed his disbelief in Zhang Renqing.

After all, Li Chong knew that there was a Cheng Wuting and a black-toothed Changzhi.

Speaking of which......

What about this black tooth?

Was it that when he was fighting Baekje, he was accidentally killed, or is he now in Lee Jina?

Anyway.

At this stage, Datang has almost won and lost half of the war. Of course! This was a case where the presence of artillery was not considered.

However, this has artillery, which makes Li Zhong even more worried.

After all......

It would be even worse if there was no artillery to win, and there would be a waste of sending artillery to others.

saw that in the face of his father-in-law's unbelief in him, Zhang Renyan did not dare to speak out.

If it's someone else, then forget it.

He has to talk about how good he is.

But after all, the person in front of him is his own father-in-law.

Other than that......

After all, this war is a very dangerous thing, so don't say it, it makes people worry about it.

If he had a choice, Zhang Renqing would not want to go to war.

Unless......

Datang is really no one.

Seeing that Zhang Renqing didn't speak, Li Chong forgot it.

Let's skip this topic for a while.

In fact......

Li Chong wanted to give them a chance to tell Li Chengqian by themselves.

You are now the courtiers, and I am not.

There is such a big loophole and flaw in Datang, what should you do next, you can put forward your opinions to Your Majesty.

After meeting the two of them.

Li Chong returned to the small courtyard.

In the evening......

Then teach the five Japanese girls how to sleep.

Su Dingfang should be almost gone, but fortunately, at least Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian are still there.

All I can say is......

It can hold on for a while.

And then......

After being treated by Sun Simiao for three months, the other party unfortunately passed away.

Su Dingfang has another son

Zi, named Su Qingjie, is just like most of the second generation, and he doesn't have any outstanding abilities.

After Su Dingfang's death, Li Chengqian also gave Su Dingfang a good nickname, and in addition, the official position that should be given is not stingy at all.

Even......

If you can, it doesn't seem like a problem to add the other party to Lingyan Pavilion.

Isn't it......

In Li Chengqian's dynasty, it seems that the number of people who can add Lingyan Pavilion is too small, and now there is only one Su Dingfang, which doesn't seem to be easy to do.

Three months later.

After listening to what his son-in-law said again, His Majesty's handling of Su Dingfang's death was ...... Li Chong also remembered one thing.

That's his former team of craftsmen, and it seems that almost all of them are dead.

Thereupon......

In order to encourage the spirit of science, Li Chong felt that it was necessary to erect a monument to these people who had made great contributions to the steam industry of the Tang Dynasty, or to find a few stonemasons to carve their appearances into stone statues during their lifetimes, and then put them in the Academy of Sciences.

[In view of the general environment,

Li Zhong wrote down the names of these patriarchs, and also wrote down their contributions a little, and presented them one by one on Li Chengqian's desktop.

After Li Chengqian received the recital, he also felt that the contributions of these people were no less than those of the famous generals who founded the country, so he approved Li Chong's recital.

However, Li Chengqian still had to ask his teacher again if he wanted to engrave the stone statue of his teacher.

This one......

Li Chong felt that this didn't seem to be very polite, so forget it, and besides, he was not the kind of person who valued his reputation so much.

Li Chengqian gave up.

Other than that......

You can't just carve a stone statue for someone, and for the descendants of such a meritorious veteran, you must also take care of it more, so that others will be more willing to work for Datang in the future.

For example, let their children go to study in the country.

Another example is to provide a special talent channel for their children to become officials in the future.

This set of operations down.

It can only be said that the Academy of Sciences is no longer the gathering place of craftsmen that no one looks down on.

Opposite!

In the future, maybe Li Bai will have to try his luck at the Academy of Sciences.

Go to the Academy of Sciences to learn how to make screws.

Of course!

The premise is that there is Li Bai behind this era.

After Li Chengqian's actions, the status of craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences was suddenly elevated.

Although at present, it may not be as good as those who pass the imperial examination.

But!

There is no doubt that in the future, the role of the Academy of Sciences will only become bigger and bigger, and it may gradually develop into an existence that cannot be ignored by all strata of Datang.

After all......

The Academy of Sciences' ability to transform this world is too strong.

At the end of the year of the fourteenth year of Yuan Heng.

The exaggerated transformation ability of the Academy of Sciences was once again on display.

The piers of the Fenglingdu Yellow River Bridge were also completed this year.

In recent years, the north has been dry, the Yellow River is shallow, and the current is not too fast, just enough to knock down all the bridge piers.

After the piers are laid, the laying of the remaining bridge deck will be much simpler.

It is expected that the construction of the entire bridge may take only one to two years.

Once this road is opened, it will be very convenient to take steam locomotives, horse-drawn carriages, and even pedestrians on it.

For example, the use of small boats to carry people and goods across rivers will become a thing of the past.

As soon as this news came out, it shocked the ministers of the DPRK and China

Spell.
