Fang Xuanling looked worried, looked out the window and was reprimanding his bereaved love, thinking that it had been twelve years since he looked at him unknowingly.

It has been twelve years since His Majesty ascended the throne, from the weakness of the Wude period to the emptiness of the treasury, and now His Majesty is the Heavenly Khan, and the countries of the Western Regions have built the Heavenly Khan Avenue for His Majesty, and the envoys of the countries have come to congratulate.

Young talents are emerging one by one, as if it is another great world, and the contradiction between the eldest grandson Wuji and the Ministry of Rites is becoming more and more intense.

A group of officials led by Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu had quite a lot of rhetoric about the eldest grandson Wuji.

Today's Xu Jingzong has become a climate, and now it is different from the past, he has made a lot of meritorious contributions with Zhang Yang, and now he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he controls many officials of the Ministry of Rites.

In the past, it was felt that the Ministry of Rites was the most isolated part of the court, but now that this isolation has made His Majesty attach more importance to the Ministry of Rites, and it has also made the Ministry of Rites more and more united.

Once such a ministry gained a firm foothold, it became the most united force in the court.

Since Xu Jingzong served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he has been summoned by His Majesty many times, and he has also been appreciated by the crown prince, his career will be more stable in the future, even if he has many discords with his eldest grandson Wuji now.

Fang Yi walked straight to the window and whispered: "Father, I heard that Chu Suiliang went to see Zhao Guogong." ”

This Chu Suiliang still got close to the eldest grandson Wuji after all, and Fang Xuanling said in a low voice: "Let's do it." ”

"The child understands."

On the morning of Lishan, after the emperor came to Lishan, Zhang Yang also showed an attitude, and the two families of Weng and his son-in-law had a tacit understanding in Lishan.

Zhang Yang is holding the file of Taifu Temple in his hand and recording the growth of crops, spring is still coming, after ten days of warm winter, the spring cold comes early and unusually.

The weather is obviously about to enter spring, but it is getting colder and colder.

Li Xiaogong complained: "There are no vegetables to eat these days. ”

Zhang Yang's pen was still writing in the dossier, and he replied while recording: "There are still some leeks and radishes in the village. ”

Li Xiaogong lowered his head and sighed, "The old man has been eating scrambled eggs with leeks for three days, you smell the taste in the old man's mouth." ”

Zhang Yang took a step back and said with a smile: "There are still a lot of celery and spinach in Lishan. ”

Now there are a few hardy vegetables left in Lishan, and eating vegetarian vegetables can barely cope with it, but Lishan is acceptable, and the vegetables in Chang'an City are more expensive than meat, and sheep are constantly sent to Chang'an City in the Hexi Corridor.

After General Li Jing conquered Yinshan, more and more sheep entered Guanzhong, and many people in Longyou and Guanzhong began to raise sheep.

Zhang Yang doesn't like people overgrazing, which is contrary to the nature of environmental sustainability.

"How are you doing?"

"It's okay, as long as the mother-in-law at home doesn't come to toss."

Since his family moved to Lishan, he looked tired.

After a while, Li Tai also came over, and he was curious: "This king's little niece wants to raise fish?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded slowly, "Thank you for your uncle." ”

Li Tai was also worried, "At the beginning, I still had some connections in Lingnan for the sake of sucrose, but I could inquire about the fish that can survive in warm water, as the saying goes, it is difficult for big fish to survive in small ponds, so you can only raise small fish." ”

This is the case of the Huaqing Pond in Lishan, the current Huaqing Pond is not big, let alone fish farming, and now even the aquatic plants cannot be raised.

Zhang Yang put away the dossier and said: "Her interest is only a few days, and she will be gone in a few days, and then she will make a small water tank for her." ”

There is no ecology in Huaqing Pond, and it is natural that fish cannot be raised if aquatic plants cannot be raised.

On both sides of the pond, it can be used to expand the pond, so that the outside soil comes in, and it will also bring the Huaqing Pond to life.

But in this way, such Huaqing ponds will be infested with mosquitoes in the summer.

It's nice to have a pool now, but it's better to keep it as it is.

Lishan said that it was not big, and it was not small that the daughter-in-law wanted to make a zoo in the north of Lishan.

It's hard to keep a few bears at home, let alone a zoo.

As for the two pandas in the family, they don't like to eat like Xiong Da.

Pandas are accustomed to eating bamboo, and these two heads can't be found every time they sneak into the mountains and forests, and only come back to sleep at night.

Li Xiaogong said in a low voice: "The old man heard that the eldest grandson Wuji often argues with Xu Jingzong? ”

Zhang Yang nodded when he heard this, "What, you always care about this matter now?" ”

Li Xiaogong shook his head and said, "It's not that I care, it's just that I listen to the excitement." ”

It is also beneficial for the king of Hejian to live in Lishan, not to mention the friendship between the two, at least he is the leader of the clan, and he can order the clan to help Taifu Temple in Lishan.

Li Tai said thoughtfully: "After Chinese New Year's Eve this year, some people in the sect asked if they wanted to come to Lishan to eat and drink again. ”

"If the cultivation of Taifu Temple can be carried out smoothly, the harvest can also be celebrated."

Li Xiaogong now thinks that next summer's summer will come sooner, and his fields will be used to grow grapes.

These grapes are very important to Taifu Temple, and fruits and vegetables must be cultivated well.

Li Xiaogong said with disgust: "This Xu Jingzong is really not a thing, if he doesn't care for his wings so much, he will fall into the hands of others sooner or later, how does the old man value him." ”

Zhang Yang raised his head and said with emotion: "The king of Hejian County left the Ministry of Rites after setting a fire, but you don't know that it took me five years to leave the Ministry of Rites. ”

Lee Hyo-gong patted Lee Tae-yee on the shoulder.

provoked the corners of Li Tai's eyes to twitch, and it hurt a lot, "Uncle Huang, what are you talking to your brother-in-law doing?" ”

"Zhang Yangzi served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he didn't turn his face with His Majesty, hahaha! laughing at a certain family, it is also a loss to your kid, your kid has a big life, and he Xu Jingzong is not as kind as you. ”

Zhang Yang said mournfully: "My life is not big, I just thought about the current situation." ”

The conversation between the uncle and nephew talked about married life again, and Zhang Yang didn't want to talk about this with Li Tai, so he left on his own and returned to Lishan to continue making firearms.

Li Shimin wanted to show the envoys of various countries the power of firearms to show the power of his Heavenly Khan.

Zhang Yang plans to build him a big guy with a powder cartridge, this guy's appearance is similar to a large fireworks, he can be carried on his shoulder, and he can also be ignited and fired many times at a time, but the stability is not very good, and there are many technical problems that need to be solved if he wants to mass production.

It is best to demonstrate to Li Shimin, the emperor.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, Guanzhong and Chang'an City and Lishan all ushered in a period of calm precipitation.

A month has passed, and the steam engine in Lishan has heard a loud whistle for the first time in a long time.

Another wave of cold swept through Guanzhong, and Lishan officially started construction today, the steam engine began to operate, and the assembly line in the factory began to operate.

A roll of cotton cloth came out of the steam engine, Xiao Hui and Xiao Wu calculated, the speed of cotton cloth production was more than three times higher than the previous efficiency, and a lot of manpower was saved.

Lee Tae reuses recycled paper by using alkaline water used as soap to remove the ink from the paper, re-soaking the old paper into pulp, and mixing the old pulp with the new pulp in proportion.

Because the workmanship of the steam engine in Lishan was too rough, Niu Chuang and his technical team began to re-plan and refine the steam engine to make it more delicate, so that the use of steam can be transmitted more efficiently, and the smaller the volume, the higher the conversion efficiency.

In line with this direction, Lishan has opened the bottleneck of productivity since last year and is preparing for the second take-off of Lishan's productivity.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with the scene of the people of Lishan working together to produce, he walked through one factory after another, especially the big monster that ate coal and stone and swallowed black smoke, this steam engine can pull the lathe of the assembly line without manpower, and many mechanical tasks no longer use manpower.

A dozen or so people are busy in the factory, and they can complete the work of dozens of people, how can this not be staggering.

Zhang Yang had been hoarding coal and stone at any cost for the first two years, and Li Shimin thought that he had won tens of thousands of stones of coal and stone at such a cheap price, and he had picked up a big bargain.

Everything in Lishan is a fruit, Li Shimin looked at these fruits with fiery eyes, as long as Zhang Yang was hanged in front of Chengtianmen, these fruits would be his.

Of course, these fruits are still from Lishan.

This year has arrived in February, Shangguan Yi left the village early and went to various places around Chang'an to make an agreement with the previous clan and began to arrange vegetable planting.

Li Jing had lived in Lishan for five months, and in those five months he had seen Zhang Yang use explosives once.

To this day, Zhang Yang carries five thick bamboo tubes down the mountain.

Li Jing and Li Shimin stood at the bottom of the mountain together and watched this scene.

The fact that Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, was able to come to Lishan was instructed by Li Shimin, and it was also to study how firearms were applicable to the army.

It is not safe to hand over this matter to others, and Li Shimin believes in Li Jing's ability even more.

Li Shimin has been in a very good mood recently, he waved his sleeves, looked up at Zhang Yang who was dragging a bamboo tube down the mountain, and asked in a low voice: "The pharmacist has been in Lishan for half a year?" ”

Zhang Yang was still some way away from walking down the mountain, and Li Jing replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the last general is in Lishan for the sixth month, and the first five months are ......."

Li Shimin smiled, "Did you gain anything in those five months?" ”

Li Jing couldn't help but shake his head, "In order to wait for Zhang Yang to make a firearm, I put five months of artillery fighting. ”

“……”

"It's boring."

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked down and saw that Li Jing had three or two small artillery battles in his hands, and it was these small artillery battles that allowed this famous general inside and outside the Central Plains to play for five months.

Finally, Zhang Yang dragged these bamboo tubes down.

The five bamboo tubes stand up to a full three feet high, and an adult can carry them on his shoulders.

Li Jing and Li Shimin looked at it curiously.

Zhang Yang introduced: "Your Majesty, do you want to try it?" ”

The bigger the thing, the greater the power should be, whether it is a siege weapon or a war weapon, the larger the weapon, the greater the lethality, this is the experience gained as a general of the Heavenly Policy.

These five long and thick bamboo tubes were transported from the village to the entrance of the village, which attracted the attention of many people.

Lee Hyo-gong and Lee Tae came to join in the fun for the first time.

Seeing a haystack in the distance, Zhang Yang found the target, and the haystack 300 steps away was just right.

Zhang Yang glanced at everyone, "I don't know which one is willing to fire first?" ”

Fire? What does it mean to open fire, Li Yuan and Ouyang Xun, who live in Lishan, also came, and everyone was talking.

Zhang Yang looked at the gloomy sky, and it would rain soon, so he beckoned Li Xiaogong to try it.

The surface of the bamboo tube is smooth, but there are handles on both sides that can be forced, and Li Xiaogong carries the bamboo tube, which is thicker than his thighs, on his shoulders.

Zhang Yang instructed: "The king of Hejian County knelt on one knee and saw that the crosshairs above were aimed at the haystack in the distance. ”

Li Xiaogong did as he was told, holding his breath and getting ready.

Zhang Yang lit the fuse behind the gunpowder cylinder, and the fuse burned into the bamboo tube, and white smoke rose from the back of the bamboo tube.

Everyone also watched with bated breath, only to hear an explosion behind the bamboo tube, and a ball of flame shot out and went into the distance.

The moment the flame touched the haystack, it exploded, opening a big hole in front of the haystack.

Li Xiaogong also held the powder cartridge and took a deep breath, and said with a blank expression, "Damn." ”

The smoke in front of them was very thick and pungent, and everyone didn't come back to their senses for a long time, only thinking that if this thing hit the crowd, how many people would be burned to death.

After a moment of silence, the haystack also burned, and the fireball that had been shot out was burning, and the haystack was also burning

Zhang Yang frowned and asked, "What does Your Majesty think of this thing?" ”

Hearing this, the emperor came back to his senses, choked on the smoke and coughed a few times, "I ...... Ahem! I still like the firearms that blow up the walls. ”

Li Jing's opinion should also be asked for his opinion on military affairs, and the experience of this great general in such a thing as leading troops to fight is still worth listening to.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "What does the pharmacist think? ”

Li Jing took two steps back and forth, thought about it for a while, and replied, "This thing...... There's something wrong. ”

Li Shimin nodded, and just wanted to say something when he saw his father walk out.

Li Yuan took out his previous majesty in front of people, he walked between the two, deliberately squeezed Li Shimin away with small movements, and then said in a deep voice: "What the pharmacist said, there will be no mistakes, I wish to hear it in detail."

Li Shimin was very dissatisfied, obviously I wanted to ask, but I was robbed by my father, there were so many people watching at the moment, he didn't care, he could only swallow what he wanted to say.

"Your Majesty, this thing seems to be very powerful, and the two armies have not yet rushed into battle and are still available, but when they intersect with short soldiers, they will suffer from it."

Li Jing said again: "However, this thing can shoot three hundred paces away, which is more effective than a bow and arrow, and it is more appropriate to put it in front of the battle before the two armies fight." ”

After that, Li Jing turned his head to look at Zhang Yang, "I think there are still many firearms that have not been taken out in the county, yes or no?" ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "In the next moment, the creativity will make Your Majesty and you laugh, um!" It's about innovation. ”

There was no reaction from the crowd, and he continued to flicker: "No matter what you do, you must be creative, creativity and invention are the brightest treasures of our time." ”

While speaking, I saw that Li Xiaogong was still carrying that thing, and his face was tense and stiff, and he didn't dare to relax.

Zhang Yang coughed and said, "King Hejian, you can put it down." ”

"Really? You didn't say it earlier! Let the old man carry it for so long. ”

"If you put it in the army in the future, before you blow it up, you must shout: open the cannon!"

"Why?"

"It's custom."

Li Xiaogong snorted coldly, "This thing appeared in the world for the first time, what is the custom, don't shake the old man, it's too deceitful!" ”
