"For the sake of ten artillery, I took out so much iron ore, not to mention two thousand pieces of silver, my Taiye Pool has been repaired for a year and has not been settled, but he is living a rich life every day."

Empress Eldest Sun sighed, life in the harem will be tight.

Thinking about the beginning, I didn't expect it to be now.

In order to solve the embarrassing situation of the DPRK and China, Zhang Yang did a lot of things to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and helped the DPRK and China tide over the difficulties.

Li Shimin arrived at Lishan Mountain, but saw a group of children lying in the sun and taking a nap, the water of the upstream hot spring pool continued to flow into Huaqing Pool, and the water continued to flow out of the hill, forming a small waterfall, if you look closely, you can also see the statues of several bears.

The big statue of the bear is still standing in the Huaqing Pond, and there is no intention to continue to repair, this stone statue is still the same as a few years ago, the bear is not like a bear.

Li Shimin walked around Huaqing Pond to the front of the house, and the children were still asleep.

Li Yue hurriedly greeted and saluted, "Father, mother." ”

Empress Eldest Sun smiled: "What about Zhang Yang? ”

"Fujun is busy in the workshop."

Li Shimin glanced at his sons and daughters who were lying on the ground and sleeping in the sun, covered with thin blankets.

Glancing at the food on the table, Li Shimin lost his interest, and ate walnuts and was full.

However, there was still some beef soup in the clay pot, so I served myself a bowl.

While drinking broth, Li Shimin came to the workshop with a bowl.

In the workshop, Zhang Yang was wearing a mask and polishing some iron tools.

Li Shimin drank the broth, and when he saw that this kid didn't notice him, he kept watching from the sidelines.

Zhang Yang pushed the lever with one hand, slowly approached the iron pestle in the clamp to the flywheel, polished it for a while, and then measured it with a ruler.

Only then did he notice His Majesty standing aside.

"Your Majesty is here to eat again?"

"I always felt that it would take so much iron ore and silver to build ten cannons."

Zhang Yang said again: "Your Majesty, even if you come to Lishan to eat every day, you won't be able to eat back so much money." ”

After drinking the soup in the bowl in one go, I had to admit the fact that two thousand pieces of silver, plus those iron materials, really couldn't be eaten back with one mouth.

After recognizing the facts, the heavenly khan put down the soup bowl, sat down on the side, and carefully watched how this kid used the lathe and how to build firearms.

Zhang Yang looked up at the drawings and was measuring with the ruler in his hand.

Noticing this strange and clever ruler, he asked, "What are you measuring with?" ”

Zhang Yang explained with a smile: "This thing is called vernier caliper, and all castings are inseparable from rulers. ”

"That's a good thing, the craftsman can grasp the millimeter of proportion."

"So, His Royal Highness the King of Wei said that this ruler was made by Lishan, so it is called Lishan ruler."

Li Shimin's face showed a tangled expression, "Qingque, this kid is named randomly, this thing should be called Zhenguan ruler." ”

After Zhang Yang measured, he sighed and lost the parts in his hand, and made another defective product.

The snail of the gun bottom fire is a very fine part, and it is easy to explode if the size is slightly different.

Zhang Yang scratched his head and removed the flywheel of the lathe, replaced it with a smaller flywheel, and continued to polish.

From noon to now, Li Shimin has been sitting for an hour, Li Shimin is a little sleepy, and he has nothing to say after being sleepy, "You talk to me, how to build artillery?" ”

Zhang Yang relaxed his waist and sat down as well.

When using the lathe, you need to bend over to exert force, and every hour you are so tired that you can't stand up straight.

"If it goes on like this, it will have to be a lumbar muscle strain."

"Is this artillery really as powerful as you say?"

"Your Majesty, the principle of this thing is similar to that of fireworks, and it is also the same as the principle of the powder cartridge I made, except that the cannon is more powerful and the structure is more complicated."

Zhang Yang pointed to the drawings hanging on the wall, "Your Majesty, please look at the primer device, if you master this device, you will master the core technology of artillery." ”

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "Only you can create this thing?" ”

Zhang Yang took off his gloves and picked up the large teacup on the side, "Even if Your Majesty gets the drawings, you can't make such fine parts with the craftsmanship of the court." ”

"You shouldn't be so arrogant, there are many masters in this world."

"How can the cutting process be so simple, without the casting technology of lathe and Lishan, it may not be able to be made, and the iron materials required are all fine iron cast by Lishan."

Li Shimin looked at the drawings and said the hardest words.

Not to mention casting, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have a hard time reading these drawings, and some people can't even understand drawings with such complex lines, let alone casting.

Lishan's technology is the moat, Li Shimin felt that the drawings looked complicated, and he didn't understand why the drawings were drawn like this, so he felt bored and stood up and left.

Zhang Yang recorded today's achievements in his booklet and walked out of the workshop.

The children had just woken up, and Dongyang followed his brother-in-law's footsteps with sleepy eyes, "I told my father about the cause of the flash flood." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, but His Majesty didn't say a word just now.

Dongyang said again: "My father said that the acres of land cultivated in Guanzhong are not enough, how to return the farmland. ”

"There is a lot of barren land in Guanzhong that cannot grow food, but can be used to grow trees, such as poplar trees."

"Just like that Di Zhixon planted trees in the Hexi Corridor and was repeatedly impeached by the DPRK and China?"

Zhang Yang walked into the library and nodded, "They think it's wrong not to grow food on the land, but they haven't thought that the land in Guanzhong is becoming more and more barren, and the yellow sand sweeping Longyou will even drift to Jingyang in the west of Chang'an, and the water level of the Jing River is declining every year, and the well water in Chang'an City will change in a few years." ”

"In fact, as early as the Han Dynasty, Luoyang was repeatedly mentioned to build the capital, and Luoyang also had a palace construction after the Han Dynasty, and now there are ruins.

Dongyang helped organize the scrolls, and she put the scrolls back to their original positions according to the labels, "But Chang'an City has Hangu Pass, Hangu Pass is one of the Xiongguan passes in the world, and the emperor's grandfather is entrenched in Hangu Pass, and my father takes Hangu Pass as the rear, east into Hebei, and south to Yangzhou." ”

"What you said is indeed true, so Guanzhong must be governed, and this Qinchuan Plain cannot deteriorate anymore."

"Brother-in-law, do you need me to speak to my father?"

Zhang Yang sighed: "No need, it's enough to say it once." ”

She grinned, "If my brother-in-law has anything to do, just tell Dongyang." ”

"You go and supervise the child's homework."

"Okay."

This girl jumped and left, and she had a great sense of accomplishment in helping her brother-in-law do things.

Let Dongyang explain the cause of the flash flood to Li Shimin, and at least persuade him to pay attention to the water and soil.

The water in Huaqing Pond is not full until dusk, and when the pond is full, the water surface is calm.

After a busy day in the workshop, putting the drawings in the library to sort out, after a busy day, Zhang Yang jumped into the pool, lay flat and looked up at the dusk sky, washing away the fatigue of the day.

Xiong Da also jumped into the pool, and the owner of the house likes cold showers, and it also likes it.

Seeing the bear swimming towards him, Zhang Yang climbed onto the bear's back, and its thick back was very comfortable.

"You said you! What Qingqing wants to do, you will take her to do anything, and you will listen to her everything. ”

The bear rolled over, and Zhang Yang fell into the water again.

If you try to climb on its back again, the bear won't.

Seeing that it still had a temper, Zhang Yang scolded angrily: "Is it easy for me to raise you so big?" ”

The bear let out a loud snort and raised his paws.

A man and a bear fought in the water, Zhang Yang pressed it under the water, and it pushed it away with its claws, as soon as the bear entered the water, its hair was smooth and it couldn't be caught, and it was not easy to start.

It is difficult to distinguish in Huaqing Pool......

The last person and the bear were tired, Zhang Yang had a few more red marks on his body that were caught by the bear, and Zhang Yang also had a few more pokes of bear hair in his hands.

Seeing her husband walking back to the house wet, Li Yue wondered, "What's wrong with you, husband?" ”

Zhang Yang changed into clean clothes and "had a fight with that bear." ”

"Hmmm! I won. ”

He added.

If the daughter is in trouble, it is because this bear did not take the child well.

Li Yue used hot water to paste the red marks on her husband's back, which were all caught by the bear, but fortunately, there was no blood, and blood marks could be faintly seen.

It can be seen that the bear did not really attack, and only the husband is its opponent.

Knowing that her father was fighting with Xiong Da, her daughter carried a bamboo stick and began to teach Xiong Da a lesson, "Let you bully Daddy!" ”

She swung the bamboo strip and hit Xiong Da's body, but unfortunately such a thin bamboo strip could not hurt it.

In front of the little master, it squatted and lowered its head with an aggrieved look.

Aunt Yang persuaded: "Raising livestock is like this, and now that it has grown so big, the county marquis needs to fight with it to release its ferocity." ”

Xiao Qingqing said aggrievedly: "Really? ”

Aunt Yang nodded, "This way it can be more obedient." ”

"Well, spare you once." She shook her fist.

The next day, Zhang Yang scratched yesterday's wound and threw a piece of sauced beef to Xiong Da, and one person and one bear were reconciled.

Today is the sting, the solar term for the recovery of all things, Zhang Yang took Xiong Da down the mountain, "Today I will take you to plow the land." ”

The bear shook his fat and ran towards the field first.

After putting a plow on it, Zhang Yang sat on its back and drove it to plow the land.

This bear is actually very strong, and it is completely difficult to plow the land, and the villagers have become accustomed to this bear that can plow the land.

It's just that the officers and soldiers guarding outside the village have looked at each other.

For a while, it was an eye-opener that there was a man riding on the bear's back and letting the bear plow the ground.

Yesterday I had a fight with a bear, and it was much more docile.

The emperor was still on vacation in Lishan, and the great court meeting in the middle of the court was postponed until the spring equinox.

Shangguan Yi has already chosen the place to build the academy, which is one mile away from the official road outside Lishan Village.

Although Li Tai has never asked Yan Liben for someone, he often reads his daughter's letters.

It is said that His Royal Highness the King of Wei is worried about the construction of the academy, and Yan Liben, who has always been honest and an official, used his power for his son-in-law for the first time to seek personal gain for His Royal Highness the King of Wei.

Outside the village, Li Tai looked at the craftsmen brought by Yan Liben with a smile on his face, and he was about to pull people to get drunk.

Yan Liben's conscience as an official was guilty, and he didn't dare to drink anything.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, these people are masons, stonemasons, carpenters, good at building houses, good people, and good craftsmen."

Li Tai held Yan Liben's hand wistfully, and his eyes were about to squeeze out tears with emotion, "You are really ......"

Seeing what His Royal Highness King Wei was going to say, Yan Liben hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I also hope that His Royal Highness the King of Wei will build the academy, return these craftsmen to the Ministry of Industry, and ask them to build a palace for His Majesty in the coming day." ”

"This king must remember."

After that, Yan Liben lowered his hat and tried to cover his face, "The old man will go back first." ”

turned around to leave, and waved his hand again: "His Royal Highness King Wei, don't send, don't send." ”

If you want to blame, you can blame it, Li Tai moved it with affection, knew it with reason, and made bitter meat tricks, and sold it miserably with his own Princess Wei.

Yan Liben was shaken, and the conscience of the official, who had always been the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was also corroded, and he began to use his power to mobilize people to bring six craftsmen to Lishan.

As long as His Royal Highness King Wei runs out and returns the people, it is nothing.

Yan Liben walked away quickly.

And at this moment, in front of Lishan Village, the emotion on Li Tai's face had long disappeared, and he was excited, "How much was your salary and salary in the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Several people looked at each other speechlessly, and one of the craftsmen led by them was a middle-aged man with half-white hair, "His Royal Highness King Wei, I am just here to help Lishan and help Lishan build a good house, and we will go back." ”

Li Tai led them into the village and asked the guards to surround them.

On the spot, some craftsmen were anxious, "What is His Royal Highness King Wei doing?" ”

Li Tai had a gentle smile on his face, how kind and affectionate he was, "As far as this king knows, your salary in the Ministry of Industry is sixty yuan a month, although you can earn some scraps from buying timber and stone on weekdays, or recruiting conscripts, counting these more than a hundred yuan a month?" ”

Several people were speechless again.

"If you can come to Lishan, Lishan can give you 500 yuan a month and arrange a place to live, and when the academy is built, you can stay in Lishan, teach students crafts in the academy, build houses, build roads, and build bridges."

The six craftsmen present whispered.

Seeing that they had discussed for a long time and didn't reply, Li Tai put away his smile, "Everyone, let's have a meal first, and then go and see how about the site for the academy to be built?" ”

Everyone nodded and did not refuse.

Sit down around a long table, a pot of food on the table, there is meat and vegetables, although it is still early spring, I didn't expect there to be green vegetables in Lishan, not to mention wine.

Where have they eaten such a sumptuous meal, although the mutton is cheap, they are tired of eating too much.

Seeing everyone eating, Li Tai walked a little farther, beckoned a guard, and whispered: "You go and find out where these craftsmen live, bring their families to Lishan, and then find out their personal contacts." ”

"This is going to be arranged, His Royal Highness King Wei has clever means."

"Well, brother-in-law teaches well."

Letting the guards leave, Li Tai straightened his clothes and toasted these craftsmen.

The more they got drunk, the better Li Taide was in a good mood, and when these people were drunk, he let his guards take them to rest.

Princess Wei walked out of the house, "Your Highness, has my father arranged everything?" ”

Li Tai nodded heavily, his expression a little more solemn, "Your father should also retire from the court, he is a craftsman, but he doesn't know how to survive in the court." ”
