Chapter 357: It's just a demon's ear
Things are right in front of you, and they just move a little distance every day, and they never stop.
Yuan Tiangang pointed to the table on the side, "In order to prove that it is not the reason for the topography, this needle was also placed in the poor road." ”
Li Shimin turned his head to see that there was a boxy stone on the table, and there was a needle on top of this stone.
As soon as the terrain shifts, the needle will roll off.
The fact is that the ground in front of you is flat all the time, and there is no movement of this needle.
Relative to the situation in front of him, the iron pestle would move some distance on this flat terrain every day.
And now there are a lot of strange things in the Qin Heavenly Prison.
"What's going on in the various parts of Chang'an City?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the poor Dao also asked the people in the Daomen to arrange it, and the replies everywhere are the same, and now there are many people in the Daomen who are investigating this strange thing."
If it's just Zhang Yang doing it alone, it's reasonable, the result in front of him is unacceptable, is everyone really living on a ball that can turn?
Yuan Tiangang closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there are people to the north of the Turks and the south of Lingnan. ”
Li Shimin asked again: "What's the point of doing this?" ”
"Even if the meaning is small, Poor Dao wants to solve his doubts." Yuan Tiangang picked up a ball made of rattan, and the surface of the rattan ball was painted with ink.
When Yuan Tiangang made the ball spin, these lines seemed to be about to leave the surface of the rattan ball, and as the rotation became faster, the surface of the rattan ball could not be seen clearly, and the lines became clearer and clearer.
Until the rattan ball stopped rotating, Li Shimin frowned and said, "What does this mean?" ”
Yuan Tiangang bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty also saw that when this rattan ball was spinning, the lines on it were different in length. ”
Li Shimin nodded, "The circle in the middle of the rattan ball is the longest, and the circles at both ends are the smallest. ”
Still nodding, Yuan Tiangang continued: "This is where the poor road is confirmed, according to Zhang Yang, we live on a ball that can turn, so the results that can be obtained from each location of this ball are also different." ”
"If the old man's guess is correct, what Zhang Yang said is not wrong, and the results of this kind of experiment in various places are also different."
Yuan Tiangang took out another map, "Poor Dao is in the center of Chang'an City, and sends dozens of Daomen disciples to the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and they make such a sand table every thousand miles they go, and send all the results and sand table tracks to Chang'an City. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the rattan ball, "It's like knowing that Chang'an is on that line." ”
Li Shimin looked at the Qin Tianjian in front of him again, and when he told these words, the tone of the old Taoist priest was very steady.
This kind of smoothness makes Li Shimin feel creepy, Yuan Tiangang is doing a very crazy thing, some people said before that Yuan Tiangang is crazy, naturally they don't believe it.
Yuan Tiangang raised his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, even if it is just a little clue of the truth of the world, it is worth asking countless people to ask, this will be a feat in the world, if you can remember the annals of history, congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Li Shimin shook his head and left Qin Tianjian, this Taoist priest is crazy, absolutely crazy!
All the way to the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin said to the guards beside him: "Pass the word, don't disturb Yuan Daochang, let him study quietly." ”
"Whoa."
I am somewhat sympathetic to this Taoist priest, Yuan Tiangang's approach is too crazy.
Zhang Yang's idea is also crazy, at least this kid just put forward the idea, and did not get into it on the road of inquiry.
Yuan Tiangang is indeed deeply involved in it, obsessed to the point of madness.
Walking to the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin looked at a group of well-behaved children, and his mood was much better, at least my children were not crazy.
Seeing Li Zhi and Gao Yang fiddling with a strange thing, Li Shimin wondered, "What is this?" ”
"This was sent by Lishan, and my brother-in-law used this thing to make well water before, so I sent it." Li Zhi carefully assembled, knocking and knocking the wooden plug into the air outlet that blocked the top.
Then I carefully checked with Gao Yanglai and confirmed that there was no omission.
Li Shimin followed the children to the backyard of the main hall, where there was a well.
Empress Eldest Sun also came, and Li Shimin's expression was solemn, "Why did this kid do this?" ”
"Your Majesty doesn't know that these children have learned a lot during the summer vacation in Lishan."
"Really? What did Zhang Yang teach them? ”
"The concubine body is not very clear, it is all some knowledge that I have not heard of before."
Gao Yang crossed his hands on his hips, like an adult-like commanding palace maid, installed the pump on the well and covered the wellhead.
After the palace maid finished these things, Li Zhi also checked it carefully, and he began to shake the lever, again and again.
Li Shimin looked suspiciously.
Gao Yang also waited for the well water to flow out.
The backyard of the main hall was surprisingly quiet, and everyone was looking at this thing.
Li Zhi shook for a long time, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead.
Gao Yang was curious: "Is there something that hasn't been done well?" ”
The two palace maids immediately knelt on the ground in the face of the princess's questioning, "We all installed it according to the orders of Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Li Zhi shook it for a long time and felt more and more difficult, "It seems to have succeeded." ”
Seeing that it was getting harder, Li Zhixiao's face turned red, and he heard the sound of water below as if he was deflated, and the rocker suddenly loosened, and before the water flowed out, he heard the sound of water again.
"The water is going down again?" Li Zhi's small face was tightly knit.
Li Lizhi looked aside while eating the peaches, and shook her head, "Childish slave, the wooden plug on it has not been completely penetrated, have you forgotten what the teacher said?" As soon as the air inside comes in, the air pressure is gone."
Li Shimin simply sat down and watched a few children make a fuss.
The eldest grandson queen sewed some clothes, and the queen's own clothes were reluctant to make a few more clothes, and the silk in the palace was used to make clothes for the princes and princesses.
Now the queen is still wearing cotton cloth from Lishan.
With the help of Li Lizhi, Li Zhi changed the wooden cork again and started the water again.
After shaking it dozens of times, under Li Shimin's suspicious gaze, the water really flowed out of a bamboo pipe.
"Can the water flow backwards from the bottom up?" Seeing what his son had done, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched.
"Hehehe......" The father left the place with a few strange laughs.
Can water flow backwards? Do people live on a rotating earth?
Walking all the way back to the Manna Palace, he smiled bitterly and said, "Daoist Yuan is going crazy, and I can't do it either." ”
The eunuch who was taking care of the inner servant who was pouring tea on the side shook his hand slightly, and some tea was spilled on the table, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, don't scare the old slave. ”
Li Shimin picked up the tea bowl, "Have you ever seen such a thing as water flowing backwards?" ”
The eunuch replied, "The old slave has never seen such a thing in his life. ”
Seeing that the emperor nodded, the eunuch said again: "It's just that the old slave often talks about it when he listens to the people in the palace, some time ago, General Cheng Biting Jin said that there was a demon in Chang'an City, and it wasn't that there was a demon in Chang'an City. ”
Li Shimin slowly put down the tea bowl, and his expression was a little more thoughtful.
"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that if these rumors are true, some unbelievable things can happen, and it is probably not surprising."
This eunuch was illiterate and had never read, and his words were simple and simple, but they were not completely unreasonable.
Zhang Yang? A demon who is wise and close to a demon, he can send people to the sky, no matter how incredible things he has seen, what is such a trivial thing as water flowing backwards?
After comforting himself, Li Shimin's mood is much better, as long as this kid doesn't rebel, he can help me make money.
I kept him for some time, and now I don't want to destroy him.
A box was carried into the Manna Palace, and the guards who brought the box saluted and said, "Your Majesty, this is a recital of the public opinion of all parties compiled by Zhongshu Province and Yushitai. ”
After saying this, the guard took out another recital from his arms, "This is General Wei Chigong's recital after rectifying military discipline." ”
Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, let it go.
"Whoa."
If you put your mind into state affairs, you don't have to think about those unthinkable things.
In Chang'an Chengfang City, Xu Jingzong, according to Zhang Yang's instructions, found a doctor on the street to treat the entire seriously injured Turkic people.
Looking at the grateful look of the Turks, Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "This is all what Zhang Shangshu meant, and our Ministry of Rites should also give you outsiders some care as much as possible." ”
Ashina Yugu was moved, and said in an unfamiliar Guanzhong dialect: "It was His Royal Highness the King of Wei who beat him." ”
Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "The court and the central government all know, you are the person next to the little khan, if other Turks are killed, they will not care if they are killed, but you are different, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks still have diplomatic relations, we can't sit idly by." ”
Seeing that Desire Valley was about to speak again, Xu Jingzong said again: "His Royal Highness King Wei has been punished and grounded by His Majesty. ”
The doctor gave the doctor some unknown herbs and left, and Xu Jingzong handed the doctor a string of copper coins.
When the matter is over, he is about to leave, and Desire Gu speaks again, "Please also tell Zhang Shangshu that the business that His Royal Highness King Wei discussed with the villain, the Turks can agree to it first." ”
"Business? What business? ”
Xu Jingzong was puzzled at first and then thought about the fact that Zhang Yang's family business and King Wei were inextricably linked, but after a little thought, he understood the general situation, and then said: "The Ministry of Rites only asks about these things. ”
First the king of Wei beat him, and then the Ministry of Rites gave it to the officials.
One after the other, it was explained that offending the King of Wei was offending Zhang Yang, and offending Zhang Yang was offending the entire Ministry of Rites.
But any small border country that offends the Ministry of Rites will not end well.
If you don't agree, you have to agree, you can offend the king of Wei, and you will be beaten at most.
If you offend the Ministry of Rites, it will be the entire Turk that will suffer.
Wei Chigong took the leading guards to rectify military discipline.
After receiving His Majesty's affirmative answer, the left and right military guards and Jin Wuwei also began to rectify military discipline, and the entire Wei Mansion in Chang'an City set off a trend of loving cleanliness.
Seeing that it is almost August, the sweltering heat of Chang'an City has not subsided for a long time.
took his daughter-in-law and Xiao Wu to Qujiangchi to rest, and Li Tai's grounding was finally lifted.
The wind in Qujiangchi was soft and very comfortable, and Zhang Yang took a bite of the fritters made by Li Tai.
"Brother-in-law, how does it taste?" Li Tai's face was flattering, and the Turks actually agreed to contract 1,000 hectares of grassland to Lishan at a price of 300 guan a year, and took out a total of 3,000 guan for ten years.
Contracting should also see the benefits, first contract 1,000 acres to try the hand, and then think about whether to expand in the future.
Zhang Yang ate two or three bites and fed the fritters to the bear, "It's been fried for too long." ”
Li Tai glared at his guard.
The guard bowed his head.
Xiao Wu and Li Yue were sitting in the water pavilion and reading a book leisurely, watching the spring and autumn period.
And Xiao Wu looked at the words and words, which is the stage of literacy.
Xiao Wu should be the most fun-loving at this age, and most of the time after following his daughter-in-law was spent studying.
Looking at Li Tai again, Zhang Yang said entangledly: "The monk at the entrance of the village didn't really kill him before." ”
The guard hurriedly replied, "Back to Lishan Order, I didn't kill but just discounted one leg." ”
Seeing Lishan Ling's displeasure, the guard said again: "If there is a next time, they will definitely be killed, Lishan Ling can rest assured." ”
Li Tai also tasted the fritters made by his guards, which were indeed too hard, and there were still places that were already charred.
"Next time, this king should do it himself." Li Tai handed the basket to the guards, "It's all for the king to eat, don't spoil the grain." ”
"Whoa."
A few of the guards ate their own fried dough sticks.
Li Tai looked at his brother-in-law again, and saw him holding his hands and looking straight ahead, as if he was thinking.
Another gust of wind blew, and the water surface of Qujiang Pond blew a ripple.
Li Tai smiled and spoke again, "Brother-in-law, how are we going to run the Turkic Grassland?" ”
Zhang Yang still held his hands, and when the wind blew, his clothes swayed.
Then I followed my brother-in-law's gaze, and there was a pile of garbage not far away, which looked like someone else had come and left some rags and crockpots behind.
Li Tai whispered an order to his guard.
A few guards immediately ran to clean up the place.
Seeing that the other side was as clean as ever, Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction, "It's clean, how comfortable it looks like, the quality of these powerful people who come to Qujiangchi is too poor, how can they throw garbage anywhere?" ”
"Such a person should be beaten to death by this king." Li Tai echoed.
It sounded like a joke, but the guards understood very well that His Royal Highness King Wei had earned money with Lishan Ling, and the lives of the people in the mansion had also improved.
Everyone admires this man.
King Wei was even more obedient to Zhang Yangyan.
It's that Lishan Ling's temper and personality are very weird, and some garbage in the distance can make Lishan Ling uncomfortable for a long time speechless.
What exactly is this strange character.
Zhang Yang sat down in the water pavilion, Xiao Wu handed over the fan very sensibly, and then she continued to learn to read and write.
Shaking the fan in his hand, noticing his brother-in-law's gaze, Zhang Yang said slowly: "In addition to war horses, there are also economic benefits in managing the grassland, and the King of Wei arranged a few people to go to the grassland to transform the grassland we contracted into a pasture." ”
"Ranch?"
Zhang Yang nodded, "To put it simply, focus on management, raise more cattle and sheep and reduce the number of war horses in their hands." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
