Epilogue (End)
Li Tai didn't want to manage the affairs of the academy too rigidly, at least he had more room for maneuver in appointments.
I don't want the academic institute to be too rigid by these rules and regulations.
After everyone left, Li Tai sat alone in the room, collected the books on the table, and put them on the cabinet.
If you sweep the place, when you walk to the door, you can hear the noisy voices outside the academic college.
Today is the first day of enrollment for new students, and it is also the most lively day.
The college spent most of the money on this new student arrangement.
After Li Tai closed the door, he felt a lot quieter, so he picked up a volume and read it, which was the theoretical knowledge written by his brother-in-law.
These are all sent by my brother-in-law, and the theoretical knowledge is very jerky.
Li Tai sat down to drink tea, frowned and watched, trying to digest the theoretical knowledge with his own understanding.
There is some chemical reaction in which my brother-in-law divides everything in the world into several elements.
There are also various formulas for calculating gravity, gravity, and friction.
These calculation formulas were mastered by Li Tai several years ago.
However, it discusses the theoretical knowledge of the change of matter, which has not been heard of before, and the mass of matter has nothing to do with its size, but only with its composition.
It is also necessary to manufacture finer pallet balances.
On top of that, questions are asked, conjectures are established, and subsequent step-by-step verification is carried out.
Li Tai wrote these down, thinking that these could be the future direction of the Lishan Academy.
The ordinary affairs in the academy can be handed over to Li Zhi, and Li Lizhi and Fang Xuanling can arrange it.
Li Tai wholeheartedly immersed himself in digesting these theoretical knowledge, and if there was anything he didn't understand, he asked people to send it to Lishan.
My brother-in-law would often have the letter delivered the next day.
It took Li Taicai to barely understand most of his brother-in-law's junior high school science volumes, and rewrote them in a way that is easier for students to understand today.
It took another half a year.
Time flies, and Lishan has a new book, which is the unique insight of Lishan people on all things in the world.
Time and time again, the Lishan Academy has proved the truth of this world at a speed that ordinary people cannot understand.
The Yeosan Academy finally overcame the refining of kerosene and made a gas lamp, a lamp that was not afraid of being blown out by the wind.
The exterior of the lamp is a transparent cover made of glass.
The Lishan Academy made a more elaborate mechanical clock, not as bulky as the previous one, this kind of clock is a wooden box, one person can hold it, and the front end of the wooden box has a compass, which is the rotating hour and minute hands.
In the past, some people said that the clock is one of the tools that Lishan uses manpower as a resource, which can better squeeze manpower in Guanzhong.
But no one says that anymore.
In the general trend of production, the concept of the Tang people is changing, and they are more receptive to new things.
For the first time, Lishan completed the engine operation of a single-cylinder two-process.
The news had just been sent out, and people had just heard about it, but they didn't know what it was for.
The emperor made a decree and ordered Lishan to obtain permission from the court before making the study public.
The laying of the railway has stopped, and the next laying of the railway will be five years later before the drawings and plans are ready in Lishan.
No further railroad laying will continue until then.
Four years have passed, and the sun rises and sets on the land of the Central Plains.
Zhang Qingqing and the court delivered the fortifications, this time the sister and brother stood in front of the emperor Li Chengqian, and outside the hall was a cart of silver cakes and gold, which were all paid for Lishan.
Li Chengqian poured tea for the two sisters and brothers with his own hands, "You have worked hard this year." ”
Zhang Qingqing said: "Your Majesty, in fact, during the construction process, we also placed firearms everywhere in the palace. ”
Li Chengqian's movements froze, and his eyes looked at her in disbelief.
"These locations where firearms are buried, as long as I know them, as long as I want to, I can detonate them at any time and blow the imperial city into ruins."
Zhang Xin'an listened to her sister's story with a solemn expression.
Li Chengqian's expression was a little more cold, and a little more annoyed.
Zhang Qingqing continued: "If the emperor dares to attack Lishan's idea again, I can blow up the palace at any time. ”
"Your Majesty, don't doubt it, I'm not my father, my father has affection for many elders, such as the king of Hejian County, such as General Li Jing, but I'm different, I don't have so many constraints, you don't have to doubt it, I did this kind of thing."
Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhang Qingqing said again: "Your Majesty doesn't need to send someone to look for it, unless you can't find it, unless the palace and palace gate that I have repaired are demolished again." ”
Li Chengqian got up from the case, breathing heavily.
"We don't want all this gold and silver in front of the palace, in fact, in the second phase of the delivery of the palace, we have recovered the capital, and the profits are returned to Your Majesty, we only need the capital."
Zhang Qingqing stood up with his younger brother and said, "In the future, Chang'an City will demolish several other city walls, including the imperial city." ”
She bowed and saluted: "In addition, I give the emperor a warning, the burden of Chang'an City is about to reach the critical point again, and the remaining city walls must be demolished, the population will be released, land and houses will be given, and only the walls of the imperial city will be kept in the future." ”
After that, the sister and brother left, and did not take away the gold and silver from the outside of the palace.
"She's so bold!" Li Chengqian was furious in the Xingqing Palace.
But the palace didn't dare to do anything to the two sisters and brothers, the firearms were still in the hands of Lishan, once the two sisters and brothers had any accidents, the entire Central Plains would be doomed.
Li Chengqian knew that he couldn't afford to gamble, and he didn't have any way to deal with them.
"Emperor, do you dare to try the idea of attacking Lishan in the future?"
Zhang Qingqing's warning echoed in Li Chengqian's mind.
As far as the DPRK and China are concerned, Lishan's non-rebellion depends entirely on Li Shimin's feelings.
The elders of the Zhenguan Dynasty were affectionate to Zhang Yang, so he would not rebel.
But Zhang Qingqing is a junior, she doesn't have so much emotional burden, and her thoughts about the emperor are much simpler than Zhang Yang's.
When he walked out of Chengtianmen, Zhang Xin'an asked, "Sister, when did you bury the gunpowder?" ”
Zhang Qingqing said with a smile: "Just when the emperor thinks this is a very good deal." ”
"Sister, your methods are really ......"
Zhang Qingqing said again: "The previous master told me a story, this story is very interesting, the story between a rich businessman, the emperor and the minister, the three of them are faced with a choice, and they all want to get the ......sword in the general's hand."
She told her younger brother the game story that Zhang Gongjin told her father back then.
Now the Tang Palace is more magnificent and magnificent, the original scattered palaces are now much less, and the rebuilt palaces are larger and more beautiful.
This Tang Imperial Palace lacks some carved beams and paintings, which is gorgeous.
More magnificent, solemn and atmospheric.
After returning to Lishan, Zhang Qingqing began to follow Aunt Xiaohui and Aunt Xiaowu to preside over the family business.
In the eyes of Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui, this child is like a natural successor, she is good at making decisions, can independently judge the advantages and disadvantages of the situation, and can also show the demeanor of the little master of Lishan to deal with the counties.
As Changle Princess Li Lizhi said, there will be more outstanding women in the Tang Dynasty.
And Zhang Xin'an began a career of hard study again.
……
In the seventh year of Zhengqian, a fleet sailed from afar, and when it went to sea, there were more than ten ships and more than 60 crew members.
But in the end, only six ships returned, but there were more than 100 more people.
This is the result of the long journey of the Xu family in the south of the Yangtze River, they went to the other side of the sea and the land, first joined the expeditionary Tang army in the bay of Europe, and also crossed the sea to another continent.
They brought a lot of crop seeds.
Zhang Shigui also returned to the Central Plains on a sea boat.
In the winter of the sixth year of Zhengqian, Zhang Yang and Li Yue walked on the mountain path, and Xiong Da followed behind.
The couple handed over all the affairs of the family to Xiaohui and Xiao Wu and their daughter.
After the leisure, Zhang Yang felt that this was the real retirement life.
Zhang Yang unscrewed the lid of the cup, skillfully waved the water droplets on the lid, and then took a sip of tea and let out a long breath, "Thirty-seven, retired at this age, I am quite satisfied." ”
Li Yue is also thirty-three, she squinted her eyes and smiled happily, "Husband doesn't look old at all." ”
Holding her hand, Zhang Yang said again: "It's just that we have been together all the time, and I don't feel old, you see that my hands still have so many calluses." ”
Li Yue tied her husband's sideburns back up, and said, "Yes, your hands always have so many calluses." ”
Zhang Yang said: "Your hands are still cold, and they have never changed." ”
"You are not old yet, but your heart is old."
"I've spent 20 years in Datang, and these 20 years feel so long, so long."
Li Yue smiled and nodded, she raised her head and said, "Yes, I have lived for many years, many years." ”
"County Marquis! County Marquis! ”
The child's shouting was in the mountains and forests, and the child ran quickly, handed over the letter and said happily: "County Marquis, Datang's voyage fleet is back." ”
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Really?" ”
Li Yue gave the child a candy.
Candy is a new food made by the husband, but this kind of sugar has no fruity taste, and has a faint salty taste in the mouth, and it will be sweet after a long time in the mouth.
I don't know why my husband called sugar, which has no fruity flavor, candy.
She folded her arms and whispered, "What is written in the letter?" ”
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "They have come back and brought a lot of crop seeds, and we in Datang will finally have peanuts, peppers and potatoes." ”
"What's that?"
"It will be delivered at the beginning of spring next year."
Li Yue smiled brightly, "That must be a good thing." ”
Zhang Yang continued: "This voyage lost a lot of manpower, sixteen ships went to sea, ten ships were damaged, more than 40 people were lost, and it took four years to come back from the voyage, such a huge loss I am afraid that no one will want to go to sea in the future." ”
Hearing this, Li Yue said in a low voice: "There will always be people who want to go to sea, you often say, this world is very big." ”
Zhang Yang sighed: "Yes, the world is very big, Datang has opened this head, going forward and succeeding, people's heart of exploration will not be broken, pioneering is the spirit of our Tang people, there will be people who will go to sea again." ”
The couple continued to walk silently, sometimes walking in front of the two masters, sometimes a few steps behind the two masters.
As this bear gets older, it is more clingy than the other bears in the family, and will always be around its owner.
Even Zhang Qingqing, it is also ignorant of answers.
Qiu'er ran quickly, "Dad! Mother! The second brother said that he was going to go to the north. ”
Zhang Yang's face quickly stiffened, and he shouted angrily: "You tell him Zhang Xin'an!" If the kid dares to take a step out of Lishan, the old man will break his legs! ”
"Whoa! Then the child went and spoke. ”
This year, Fang Xiang passed away, and his name will always remain in the academic academy in Lishan.
In the tenth year of Zhengqian, Zhang Qingqing has become the head of Lishan, and at the age of nineteen, she can already command Guanzhong.
In the palace on an autumn night, Emperor Li Chengqian coughed violently again, and this time coughed up blood.
The palace was in a panic, Lu Zhaolin was already an old man with white hair, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, you need to recuperate." ”
Li Chengqian's throat was sweet, he swallowed the smell of blood, he knew that he could no longer manage the government, so he advised: "Spread my will, order the crown prince Li Xiang to supervise state affairs, the cabinet Xu Jingzong, Cen Wenwen, and Chu Suiliang to assist the government." ”
The night wind blew to Lishan, Li Shimin's beard was white, and he said in a deep voice: "After all, it was Cheng Qian who dragged himself down." ”
Empress Eldest Sun said in a low voice: "This kid is always like this. ”
Li Chengqian left the palace, but instead of going to Lishan to recuperate, he went to Gaoling County.
Lishan sent a medical team to see Li Chengqian.
The emperor's condition was finally relieved, and he held in his hand something that the peasants had dug out of the ground.
Yu Zhining said: "Your Majesty, this is a potato, this is the auspicious Rui of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "It's really good, I still want to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen." ”
Yu Zhining said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why do you bother? ”
Li Chengqian sat in a wheelchair and smiled bitterly, "I didn't live up to them, nor did I live up to my father, Zhang Yang, and their ......."
Yu Zhining bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has not disappointed anyone from beginning to end. ”
Li Chengqian smiled, this time he smiled happily.
In the second year of the crown prince's supervision of state affairs, Xu Jingzong helped the crown prince Li Xiang to ascend the throne, which was the fourth emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the third heavenly khan in the world.
Li Xiang, who ascended the throne at the age of nineteen, stood in front of the newly built Taiji Hall and ordered people to read out the will.
The Tang Dynasty experienced the hurried Wude Dynasty, the ups and downs of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and the Zhengqian Dynasty.
This time, the era name of the Tang Dynasty is Shangyuan.
Li Xiang has been a sensible child since he was a child, and both the government and the opposition like this child.
On the third day after ascending the throne, Li Xiang came to the Ganlu Palace, which is one of the few palaces that has not been rebuilt, and walked into this temple.
Li Xiang frowned and rummaged here.
A group of chamberlains were waiting outside the hall, and they didn't know what His Majesty was doing.
Finally, Li Xiang found a box in the corner, he first stroked the dust off the box, slowly opened it, and what caught his eyes was pieces of paper.
The paper is very old, and it looks like it's old.
He slowly opened one of them, Zhenguan eleven years, repaired the Jiayuguan in the west corridor of the river, Emperor Tian Khan borrowed 600,000 guan from Lishan, and repaid the tax......
In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Tian Khan mortgaged Lishan Palace in order to buy Gaochang, and owed Lishan 30 million yuan.
In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, in order to buy Nanzhao, he owed Lishan 26 million ......
In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, he bought Lishan cotton clothes for the Central Plains guards in the army, and owed Lishan 3 million guan......
……
Looking at this IOU, Li Xiang's face turned pale, and the nineteen-year-old emperor suddenly shouted, "I don't deserve to be this emperor anymore, I don't want to be it!" ”
