Li Ke took office as the governor of Chang'an Mansion, and Li Jing returned triumphantly, this is all what happened in Chang'an, for Li Chengqian, don't say that he doesn't know, even if he knows, he just laughs it off.

For him, none of these things mattered.

What he cares about most now is Daming's own development.

As for whether the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty will be threatened, hehe, he really doesn't care.

Even the Son of Heaven Sword given by Li Er, he had asked Duan Lun to bring it back before.

In the final analysis, as long as Da Ming becomes more and more stable, then his position will be difficult to shake, and he still understands this truth.

"Shuyu, take a look at Brother Wei's recent schedule." In the Hall of Talents, Li Chengqian pressed his tightly locked brow with his index finger and whispered.

Since the last time, Li Chengqian has taken Wei Shuyu with him, and it just so happens that Xiao Yue and Gao Chunxing have been released, and there is a lack of such a person around him.

Moreover, Wei Shuyu's schoolwork in the school has indeed reached the point where there is nothing to learn.

After all, he is Wei Zheng's eldest son, and Chen Sheng's knowledge may not be more solid than Wei Shuyu's.

In front of Wei Shuyu, their only advantage may be their age.

"Brother." When Wei Shuyu heard this, he immediately rummaged through the table on the side, and after a while, he took out a booklet, opened it and said, "According to the previous arrangement, tomorrow morning, my brother will go out of the palace to inspect the construction of the Ministry of Industry, but this project is outside the Sun Moon Mountain, and it will not take long to build the Chi Road between Sun Moon Mountain and Deyang City."

After returning to the palace in the afternoon, the elder brother had to discuss with the military department the resettlement of the various armies, and the elder brother once said that the resettlement of the various armies was a matter of urgency and could not be delayed any longer.

The day after tomorrow, the head of the household department will ...... on the direction of this year's work and specific work arrangements"

It can be seen that Wei Shuyu is very suitable for today's errand, and everything is done in an orderly manner.

At the same time, it can also be seen that Li Chengqian is indeed busy enough, and the time after a few days is fully arranged.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded, rubbed his somewhat tired head, and said, "Let's rest early today." ”

After he finished speaking, Wei Shuyu packed up his desk and prepared to retire.

Today's Wei Shuyu has taken over the original Gao Chunxing, and almost all of them accompany Li Chengqian except when he sleeps.

For this reason, Li Chengqian even placed a table for this little guy in his office.

Early the next morning.

Li Chengqian took Wei Shuyu and left the Daming Palace under the support of Yu Chi Baolin and others.

Because he had to go out of the city, Li Chengqian's guards today were much more than usual.

There were as many as five carriages in which Li Chengqian was riding, and this was not because Li Chengqian was extravagant, but mainly to prevent accidents, and Li Chengqian had not been assassinated, so the extra four carriages were just a suspicious tactic.

Except for Wei Chi Baolin, Liu San and other absolute cronies, even the accompanying sergeants did not know which carriage Li Chengqian was in.

Of course, this is only on the surface, and there will only be more protection in the dark.

Not long after, Li Chengqian and his entourage left the city and arrived at their destination.

After arriving at the place, Wei Chi Baolin immediately ordered people to be on guard all around, and he and Liu San came to Li Chengqian's carriage with his own soldiers.

"Your Highness, it's time to get there." Yu Chi Baolin said.

In the carriage, Li Chengqian heard that he and Wei Shuyu got out of the carriage together.

Wei Shuyu was still young, but Li Chengqian didn't let him ride a horse.

"Your Highness, please see your highness." As soon as he saw Li Chengqian, Yi Yuanxi, who had been waiting at the construction site for a long time, bowed down with a group of subordinates.

I have to say that when Li Chengqian came to visit, their construction period would be delayed for a little time.

No way, this problem is the same in any era.

Isn't this just an inspection?

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "This king is here to see today, you don't have to care about this king, except for Yi Shangshu, everyone else should be busy with whatever they should do." ”

When Yi Yuanxi heard this, he immediately dismissed everyone and asked everyone to return to their jobs to do what they should do.

But since Li Chengqian is here, how can everyone still work with peace of mind?

Some people may be nervous because of Li Chengqian's presence, but some people also want to show their faces in front of Li Chengqian, in short, no matter what the reason, there are really few people who can work with peace of mind at this time.

Everyone's focus is actually on Li Chengqian.

This is human nature, and Li Chengqian can understand it.

"How's it going on the construction site?" After everyone dispersed, Li Chengqian took Wei Shuyu and Yi Yuanxi to wander around the construction site under the personal support of Yu Chi Baolin, Liu San and others.

"The pulley made by His Highness before is really a good thing, with this thing, it is really much more convenient for our construction site and mine, and a lot of work is much easier to do." Ihara said with a smile on his face.

Li Chengqian nodded, although the pulley is small, but the role is very wide, especially in this era of manpower, the emergence of the pulley is definitely an epoch-making product.

"Your Highness doesn't know anything," Yi Yuanxi said with a smile, "These guys on the construction site are also human spirits, and they actually assembled the pulleys themselves, which is more time-saving and labor-saving than before." ”

Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian was shocked, he just taught Zhang Erniu and them to make pulleys, but he forgot to teach them pulley sets, but he didn't expect these guys to study it themselves.

"Take this king to see it."

When Yi Yuanxi heard this, he immediately led the way.

He hadn't gone far before he saw a man standing under a shelf similar to a gantry crane, holding a rope with both hands, transferring some of the materials stacked here.

When the man saw Li Chengqian coming over, he immediately became in a hurry, and when Li Chengqian saw this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, this king is just coming to take a look." ”

Although Li Chengqian said this, the man still finished the work at hand as quickly as possible, and then walked over, bowed and said, "See Your Highness." ”

"No courtesy." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "You came up with this assembly pulley?" ”

"It's not like a small person came up with it." "At that time, a group of us found that although the pulley was easy to use, it really didn't save much effort.

At the end of the day, it's just a change in the way you exert force.

It's like a two-hundred-pound stone, the small one can't lift it, even if it uses a pulley, the small one can't lift it.

In the final analysis, it is because the small one itself does not have the strength to lift a two-hundred-pound stone.

On the contrary, a 100-pound stone, although the small one can't be lifted, but after using a pulley, the small one can be lifted, but the same 100-pound stone, the small one can be carried on its back.

This actually shows that the small one itself has a hundred pounds of strength, and the pulley does not help the small one save much force, but changes the way of force.

At that time, we were wondering, since the pulley can change the way we exert force, can it save effort?

With this idea in mind, we thought about it carefully, and finally tossed this set of combination pulleys.

Not to mention, after making this combination of pulleys, it is really a lot of effortless, and now a two-hundred-pound stone, a small person can do it with the help of this combination pulley. ”

After saying that, this guy still smiled with honest teeth.

But hearing him say this, Li Chengqian was stuck in place.

It's not that what he said was amazing, but he didn't expect it to come from an ordinary worker on a construction site.

After pondering for a moment, Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Practice is the only way to test the truth!" You're doing a pretty good job.

Yi Shangshu, this person is from your Ministry of Engineering? ”

"Back to Your Highness." Seeing this, Yi Yuanxi immediately smiled and said, "This is the old man of our Ministry of Industry, when the Sun Moon Mountain was defended, he also participated in the construction of the city wall, and now they are all people from the Ministry of Industry's pulleys, and they are responsible for the pulleys of the Ministry of Industry on various construction sites."

Not to mention, this thing, they can play with it. ”

As soon as he heard what he said, Li Chengqian understood.

After figuring out the pulley combination, these guys thought they had eaten this thoroughly, so they pondered that this skill would be used as the capital of their own food.

To put it bluntly, it is a technological monopoly.

Although the food looks a little ugly, there is really no way to say that they are wrong in this era.

Immediately, Li Chengqian looked at the man and said with a smile: "If this king asks you to teach more people the skills you have mastered in the pulley combination, are you willing?" ”

When that person heard Li Chengqian's words, he was immediately stunned.

He was really stunned.

From the bottom of their hearts, they were unwilling, but after all, it was Li Chengqian who opened his mouth and gritted his teeth, but he still said: "Since it is arranged by His Highness, we are naturally willing." ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "In this way, the people in your pulley group have worked hard during this time. Li Chengqian said, and looked at Yi Yuanxi again, "You have arranged three or five apprentices for each of their pulley sets, and it is important that each of these apprentices has a clear grasp of the assembly and use of the pulley combinations." ”

As he spoke, Li Chengqian looked at the man again, "You also have to teach each other the skills you have mastered, and you can't hide anything from yourself, you can do it." ”

"No problem." Since he had already agreed, the man was also quite straightforward, "The errand assigned by His Highness, I will not disappoint His Highness." ”

Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian said to him and Yi Yuanxi: "After all the apprentices of their pulley group are brought out, all the people of their original pulley group will be transferred from the pulley group." ”

"Huh?" This time, not to mention the guy in the pulley group, even Ihara Xi was stunned.

Even if the technology is handed over, this work is gone?

Li Chengqian smiled: "Ah, what? It's a pity for people like them to put in the pulley block. As he spoke, Li Chengqian patted the man's shoulder and said, "With the person you originally researched the pulley combination as the core, another technical team will be set up, and the monthly income will be doubled."

Mainly lead the team to overcome the technical problems encountered by the Ministry of Engineering, by the way, what is your name? ”

"Back to Your Highness, little Yang Fan."

"The Yang family?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, since he was an old man during the original defense of Sun Moon Mountain, he must be a member of Yang Lin's clan, "Yes, in the future, you will be the head of the Ming Engineering Department and the leader of the attack group." ”

Yang Fan was immediately dumbfounded when he heard this.

Although he is a member of the Yang family, he is a side branch, and when he was in the Yang family, he was a worker, but he didn't expect that one day a person like himself would be able to become an official!

"Why are you still stunned, don't thank you yet!" Ihara Xi hurriedly urged on the side.

He didn't mind having one more head in the Ministry of Works.

When Yang Fan heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I have to thank Your Highness for your great kindness......"

Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian and Yi Yuanxi laughed for no reason.

I haven't experienced a big scene in the end, and I will be exposed in one sentence.

However, the two of them did not laugh, but smiled: "Okay, this is what you deserve, in the future, you will lead the attack team to overcome some technical problems for Daming." ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, the little one will do my best!" Yang Fan immediately made a guarantee.

Li Chengqian smiled, and didn't correct him anything, when he said, "You are busy first, and this king will go and take a look elsewhere." ”

At this time, this guy doesn't know how to be happy, Li Chengqian continues to stay here, but he can't let go.

"This kid is good." After walking away, Li Chengqian said, "The group of people who studied the pulley combination at the beginning were also good. ”

"That's pretty good." Ihara said with a smile.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Yi Yuanxi, who was quite proud, shook his head, and said, "For those of them who can use their brains and love to use their brains, you should pay more attention to them."

The development and progress of the Ming Dynasty are all about those who are good at studying and willing to study.

How long have you been making the pulley?

Why can't others make pulley combinations?

This is the difference between them and others, such people, as long as they have, that is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, do you really let them guard those pulleys for the rest of their lives?

Don't you want to think about it, if they can study this today?

So in other areas, can they break through? ”

"Your Highness reprimanded." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Yi Yuanxi bowed down and said.

Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian didn't say much, there are some things that Yi Yuanxi needs to explore slowly, and at that moment, Li Chengqian asked: "How do you plan to repair this Chidao?" ”

"At the beginning, Weichen originally planned to use cement to build the Chi Road, but after calculating, if the cement was used to build the Chi Road, it would be too expensive.

Nowadays, the cement workshop needs at least four stones of raw materials to burn a stone of cement out, which is an unimaginable number of cement if it is repaired on Chi Road.

So Wechen finally gave up this plan. ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Indeed, if you use cement for the time being, it is indeed too extravagant." ”

"Therefore, Weichen plans to open the road first, and then tamp it as much as possible and do simple processing." Yi Yuanxi said, "Even so, this is a big project, Weichen roughly calculated, this alone, before the winter this year, is estimated to be able to feed at least 500,000 people."

However, in this way, the pressure on the imperial court is also greater. ”

"You don't have to worry about the pressure of the imperial court." Li Chengqian said, "This is no way, these two years are the most difficult days for the Ming court, and now our first task is to feed the people of my Ming Dynasty."

Both the left and the right have to ensure that they can survive, so it is much better to use cash for work than to directly distribute disaster relief money and food, right?

No matter how bad it is, some of my infrastructure has also been developed. ”

"That's right." Yi Yuanxi said, "So when Weichen made plans, he also considered this, and if all parts of the country started construction at the same time, he would strive to build the galloping road of Daming this year." ”

It will be completed by the end of this year, and Ihara is still sure.

After all, there was a road in the past, and what we do now is to widen and consolidate it on the original basis.

However, Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "It's not like you to cultivate the road......

"What does Your Highness mean?" Yi Yuanxi was a little puzzled, in order to build this road, he consulted a lot of people.

As a result, who would have thought that Li Chengqian actually said that Chidao was not cultivated like this?

He was curious, how should the galloping road in Li Chengqian's heart be cultivated?

"You forget, we are a grassland ......," Li Chengqian said, "Even if you tamp it down, but once it rains, the carriage runs for a few days, then you can still watch?" ”
