Epilogue (9)

The mountain wind blew through Lishan, and as soon as Zhang Yang's voice fell, Xiong Da walked over unhurriedly, and then lay aside, his eyes slightly open and looked sleepy.

Zhang Yang picked a few more olives from the treetops, and took a bite, which was bitter.

Leaning on Xiong Da's spacious back and sitting down, Zhang Yang said lightly: "Orange is born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei, and orange is born in Huaibei, they have already made the truth clear." ”

Scratching his head again, Zhang Yang sighed and said, "Why am I so unwilling." ”

Feeling the ups and downs of Xiong Da's breathing, Zhang Yang closed his eyes and said to himself: "Xiong Da, you are sixteen this year." ”

The bear opened his mouth wide and yawned.

Zhang Yang leaned on its smooth fur, "Well, your coat color is still very good, which means that you are not old." ”

Another gust of mountain wind blew, and many leaves fell on a man and a bear.

In autumn, the weather is very uncomfortable.

There were many dissatisfactions and unsatisfactory things in the past, but now these things are gone.

When he has nothing to do, Zhang Yang will go into his workshop again, busy making some small things, and have more paper clips at home to sort out various account books.

However, this practice is still too extravagant, and Li Yue prefers to use wooden clips to sort out the accounts one by one.

She is discussing with Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui that in the future, Lishan will make a special award, that is, the Lishan Invention Award, if anyone can create something that benefits the community, then they can get a huge amount of wealth and fame.

Lishan would name the creation after him, and Lishan would reward him with a lot of silver, up to a million yuan.

Because now the creation of the Lishan Academy is becoming less and less, and it has almost come to a standstill.

Listening to his daughter-in-law's words, Zhang Yang was assembling a black iron box.

Now there are indeed several studies continuing in the Lishan Academy, and the generator is still a problem, followed by the engine, even if it is a single-cylinder two-stroke engine, it is difficult for the people of the Lishan Academy.

The battery that stores electricity is not even a theory or chemical reaction, it is just a concept.

So far, the only thing that can be used by the Lishan Academy is matches.

"Huh? Husband, what is this for? ”

Li Yue walked over and asked curiously.

Now she is only in charge of the family's affairs, and the rest is handed over to Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui, after they are part of the family, they no longer have to worry about how the outside world will watch Lishan.

In fact, life is like this, and it has not changed much from before.

If I really want to talk about change, I can only say that the children in the family have grown up.

The cry of children was heard in the house again, and there will be many noisy children in the house in the future.

Zhang Yang took out an iron fiber and handed it to her, "Help me get it." ”

"Hmm."

Li Yue pressed the end of the iron fiber, and his eyes also looked towards the iron box the size of the desk.

The couple were close together, and their eyes looked at the inside of the iron box at the same time, and there were many complicated machines in it.

I only heard a click, as if something was buckled.

Zhang Yang pointed to a buckle and said, "Put the iron fiber in here and twist it." ”

When Li Yue heard this, she looked curious and said, "What is this doing?" ”

Zhang Yang sat down with a smile, his fingers pressed the squares one by one, and every time there would be some machine reinforcement sound inside.

Then he walked to the back, took out a piece of paper, and said, "Look! ”

Li Yue took the paper and looked at it, "Medium?" ”

"This is me just typing a Chinese character."

Li Yue was just over thirty years old, and she was close to the eldest grandson, and her speech and demeanor became more and more similar to the queen, frowning and looking at the typed words, and said in a low voice: "This word is crooked." ”

Zhang Yang put his hand into the black box again and said, "It's probably because the module is crooked, I'll adjust it again." ”

Li Yue said again: "The words typed with this kind of cold machinery are always uncomfortable, and without personal penmanship and background, I always feel that something is missing." ”

"If it's shorthand, it's better to use a typewriter to do it, I use five strokes of input, and if I know the input method, I can increase the speed of writing several times."

Li Yue sighed: "Why do you always think that the husband found the reason for not wanting to practice calligraphy?" ”

"Is there one?"

Li Yue nodded seriously, "Hmm." ”

Zhang Xin'an ran over quickly and said, "Dad, mother!" The Uighurs and Persians wanted to buy books. ”

The child's cry came from inside the house again, and Li Yue hurriedly left, and she didn't want to listen to those things in the court now.

Listening to Xin'an's narration, it turned out that the Persians wanted to sell the books of the Tang Dynasty and sell them to more western places.

The current king of Persia was relegated to the vicinity of the Aral Sea by Li Chengqian, hoping to survive in this way.

Xu Jingzong is in charge of the diplomatic affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and he likes to choke people's necks when he acts, and he does not strangle people to death at once.

Rather, it will give the other person a breath of relief.

Let them take in less air and get more out, at least they won't die.

This is the case of the current Persian king Belus, who has not been in a good position since he was deposed by Li Chengqian.

After the recapture of the Persian homeland, the richest places were in the hands of the Tang people.

In this matter, Xu Jingzong did not agree to hand over Lishan's books to the Persians, but the geographical location of Persia was suitable for propaganda for the Tang people.

Therefore, the Persians were given the Red Mansion and Liaozhai, and thousands of copies were printed and handed over to the Persian envoys.

Zhang Xin'an said again: "Master Yan said that my sister is about to become the chief engineer of Lishan. ”

Zhang Yang shook his fan and said: "She's just a momentary interest, and after a few days, she feels bored, so she won't be so busy." ”

"The boy wants to go too."

"You read well, read well."

Zhang Xin'an felt aggrieved.

Zhang Yang said again: "You are not as smart as your sister, she is born to be a leader." ”

Zhang Xin'an left in disappointment, and he had to go back to his library to read.

A military report was sent into Chang'an City, and General Zhang Shigui broke through the strait with 30,000 soldiers and horses, took the old land of Rome, and sent a lot of booty, the most of which was gold and jewelry.

The Xujia family in Jiangnan began a voyage, they drove from the coast of Jiangnan East Road, all the way along the coastline, south, and then to the boundary of Nanzhao, all the way to Tianzhu.

Opening up a channel along the coastline, they built another port in Nanzhao and began their journey from Nanzhao.

The Xu family divided the ships into three teams, all the way to Youzhou and continued north to find new boundaries, all the way along the coastline to Tianzhu, and then a third fleet to the farther west.

If the charts and maps are drawn correctly, then in the end, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will conquer the West, and the fleet and the army will meet in a strait in the West.

In the academic institute of Lishan, in the library pavilion.

At night, the library closed early, and Li Tai raised the wick of the oil lamp to make the light brighter.

Then he took out the pieces sent from all over the country, and began to take notes while checking the map.

These are all maps drawn by the soldiers who went on the expedition, as well as the geographical exploration that Yuan Daochang asked the Daomen to collect from all over the country.

Now this picture is very huge, and this is the picture that Pei Yan looked at last time.

The picture shows the vast ocean, as well as the upper and lower polar regions.

In fact, the compilation and completion of geography has not stopped since the seventh year of Zhenguan, and it has not been since the beginning of the Chronicles of the Geographical Tract, which is a lifelong career.

Tinkering, but it has not been completed so far.

According to the news sent today, Li Tai made a good annotation before putting down his pen.

He drank his tea and stared at the map for a long time, and there was still a large unexplored map in the west.

My brother-in-law's map has not been missed so far, except for the subtle points that are not clearly marked, and the scope and size are correct.

Li Tai put down the tea bowl, put the pen cap on it, and cleaned it up.

When I walked out of the library, the evening breeze blew in my face.

Outside the house, Princess Wei was still talking to his father Yan Liben.

Seeing that the King of Wei came out, Yan Liben stroked his beard and said: "The old man still proposes that the laying of the train should not be too anxious, if it weren't for the county marquis who has been urging, the old man didn't want to lay the railway to Luoyang now." ”

Li Tai said: "Recently, my brother-in-law has been dissatisfied with the development of Guanzhong and the progress of Lishan. ”

For the people of Lishan, the progress has been very good, and it has been 15 years since the construction of Lishan began in the sixth year of Zhenguan.

Fifteen years, to achieve this step, this is the achievement of everyone's efforts.

Li Tai sighed: "Things should be done step by step, and now my brother-in-law rarely interferes in Guanzhong production, and he doesn't know how difficult it is for us to break through technical barriers now." ”

Yan Liben nodded pertinently.

Zhang Yang is in a hurry, and the current Marquis of Lishan County is eager to lay the railway to the entire Central Plains.

This kind of thing is impossible to do, and the laying of the railway to Luoyang is already the limit of Lishan.

Unless the Tang Dynasty can mobilize the power of the whole country to build a railway.

At night, the academic academy is very quiet, and the dormitory of the academy is also the time to turn off the lights.

The night breeze blows non-stop over the Academy.

Li Tai said again: "There is no need to persuade my brother-in-law, now he can't listen to the persuasion, we still follow the plan, if we want to continue to lay the railway, this is no longer what Lishan can afford." ”

Yan Liben said: "Lishan is just such a small place, and it has reached the load today. ”

After that, he added: "Since the retirement of the county marquis, there has been no follow-up to the science of Lishan Academy, from conjecture to concept to feasibility, we now lack theory. ”

As the dean of the academic academy, Li Tai certainly knows that the voltage problem of the generator has not been able to find a stable current so far, nor can it find a breakthrough.

The steam engine has not undergone qualitative changes after changing back and forth, and in essence, the principle is the same as that of the eleventh year of Zhenguan, which has not changed.

In fact, as early as the day the generator was built, Lishan's technological development stopped, and this stop was five years.

The theories used by the Academy of Sciences today were also written in those years.

The drawbacks of lack of theoretical knowledge are emerging one by one.

The stagnation of technological manufacturing is the biggest crisis in the academy today.

Yan Liben said again: "What are we missing? ”

Li Tai hesitated: "I heard my brother-in-law say that there is a thing called rubber, which is a kind of sap that grows in plants, this king has sent people to inquire about it all over the Central Plains, and he has never heard of this kind of thing, and it is even more difficult to find a substitute." ”

Yan Liben said: "The old man's idea is right, the current academic academy should slow down, lay a solid foundation, consolidate itself, and thoroughly understand the existing theories. ”

Li Tai glanced at Lishan in the distance and said in a low voice, "Then be it." ”

A handyman hurried over, and he saluted, "Dean, Princess Changle has sent someone to ask when the female students can enter the school." ”

Thinking of this imperial sister, she has not married yet, but has been advocating Lishan academics with Gao Yang and Qinghe, and taking women as the core, with the ambition to let more women join in production and labor.

Li Tai pondered for a moment and said: "After the lunar month of this year, the next enrollment of Lishan Academy will recruit female students, and the counties have begun to prepare." ”

Women have always been the main labor force in Lishan, and women have no less skills than men.

There are even a few women in Lishan who are teaching at the academy.

This was the case in Lishan in the past, and it should be the same in the current Lishan Academy.

Princess Changle is like a woman's leader, she takes people and even travels all over the counties of Guanzhong, counts the number of women who are idle in Guanzhong, and encourages women to be independent and self-confident.

Now the women in Guanzhong are becoming more and more strong, and they have a credit to Princess Changle.

The father and emperor let this go, and Li Chengqian, who was sitting on the throne, didn't care.

In the final analysis, I didn't dare to ask, because Li Lizhen was the first apprentice of Lishan, and she was the first to contact Lishan's knowledge, and she was protected by the imperial sister and brother-in-law.

There are still many problems in this Datang, but what can be done?

The problems are not to be solved one by one.

Yan Liben talked with Li Tai for a long time, talking about his future plans.

In the middle of the night in the palace, there was a violent coughing sound.

There were many eunuchs and maids in the palace, and the guards walked back and forth.

After a long time, the coughing sound stopped, and Li Chengqian's breath finally stabilized.

Lu Zhaolin bowed down and said: "Your Majesty was weak when he was young, and he finally got better a few years ago. ”

Li Chengqian held the table with one hand and asked, "I just have an uncomfortable throat." ”

Lu Zhaolin said again: "If it's just that the throat is uncomfortable, it won't be like this, this is a problem with the internal organs, and the weather is cold, and when you get cold, you will cough like this." ”

"You just take the medicine."

Li Chengqian said with a straight face.

Lu Zhaolin persuaded again: "Your Majesty, the minister has ordered someone to send the illness to Lishan, and I hope that Your Majesty will go to Lishan during this year's rest and let the doctors of Lishan interrogate." ”

Li Chengqian nodded slowly and said, "I know." ”

Lu Zhaolin looked worried, and once again advised: "It will only drag down the body for a long time, and I hope that Your Majesty will recuperate as soon as possible, and now Your Majesty is still young and still too late." ”

Li Chengqian was silent and did not speak.

Knowing that it was not appropriate to say anything, Lu Zhaolin could only bow and salute again and again, and walked out of the Xingqing Palace.

As soon as he took two steps, Lu Zhaolin stroked his beard and muttered for a moment, then beckoned a little eunuch.

"What does Doctor Lu command?"

Lu Zhaolin whispered: "Hurry up and send the news to Lishan and give it to the county marquis of Lishan." ”

"Whoa."

Now no one can persuade His Majesty, Li Chengqian is strict with his courtiers, and even more so with himself.

Lu Zhaolin knew that his words were useless, and looked back at the brightly lit Xingqing Palace, and the only one who could persuade him was the Marquis of Lishan County. (End of chapter)
