Great Tang Idyll

Chapter 906: The summer is scorching and my heart is trembling

Views:

The beginning of Que Teqin reminded all the courtiers that under Li Longji's gaze, they all expressed their opinions, whether it is true or false, at least on the surface, it still looks like that.

They all agreed. Li Longji’s proposal for "democracy" was passed. The next details need to be managed by the Ministry of Rites. What is the method, whether to use the clan family to marry, or the private one, which involves There are a lot of things, and it takes some time.

Outside the Hanyuan Palace, separated by a wall, Li Bai was standing there, accompanied by the master book. The two came here to find Zhang Zhong.

Since the last time he conducted a self-analysis, Li Bai has decided to do all the work well. Today, I heard from the well-informed master book that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are back, and can’t wait to see each other.

Who knows that after arriving at the No. 1 Scholar's Building which is not closed for twelve hours early in the morning, I handed over a greeting note, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. No one in the No. 1 Scholar's building came out to tell them to enter, nor did they say what to entertain them.

The master book was still clever, saw an official sending a greeting card and turned and left. He didn't mean to stay and wait at all, so he hurriedly rushed to inquire.

Knowing that the other party is in the Ministry of War, the post of Minister Zuo, did not intend to be summoned before coming over. It is the rule to turn around and leave, because there are too many officials to look for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, as long as they are not in a hurry to go to other places. Maybe the prime minister will come over and have a look at the court in a while and discuss things by the way.

I was eager to leave to participate in the morning dynasty. I can’t delay it. Otherwise, Li Bai and the master book realized that they would not be able to get in. After this person, they came to the outer wall of Hanyuan Hall together, listening to the movement inside, planning In the next dynasty, I saw Zhang Zhong and talked to him about his thoughts and feelings.

At this time, Li Bai felt very uncomfortable. He heard Yuan Zhong’s voice in the wall of the eunuch who was in charge of spreading words, fearing that others would not hear it. Thinking about his wife, he felt that he was in vain, and Zhang Xiaobao was able to give court rituals when he got married. , I have never heard of it.

Thinking of this, Li Bai turned around and left, and the master book quickly pulled "Taibai, what are you doing? Don't you want to see Zhang Xiaobao?"

"Write poems, write to family, write to Zhang Xiaobao, there is still a monogamous at home." Li Bai stopped, looking into the distance and said: "Since she can't be a court ritual, then give her something else and see you later."

"Hey! Then, but... Too Bai, write a song for me. Don't give it to Yu'er in Xiangchi Tower, but to my family. This way, it's wrong." After the master book was stunned, he thought of something, and then said. While walking out.

In the Hall of Hanyuan, the marriage of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan was settled. When the officials thought that the officials thought that they were going to appoint Que Teqin and the others, Zhang Zhong stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister has an important matter to discuss."

A pair of eyes suddenly looked over, Zhang Zhong who was involved in this matter was infinite in the eyes of everyone, not because of his Shangshu status, there are more Shangshu, but Shangshu who can have children and get married under the court has never seen him.

Looking at Zhang Zhong one by one, he couldn't tell whether he was envious or jealous, anyway, he was no longer as calm as before.

Li Longji nodded: "Zhang Qingdan said."

"The minister met my son Xiaobao in the champion building this morning. During the meal, he talked about the Ministry of Engineering. Xiaobao and the minister said that the Ministry of Engineering is now allocated by the court. However, the Ministry of Engineering has a large number of personnel and should be self-sufficient. Therefore, , Yuchen had a plan for the Ministry of Industry to do business. The first thing to do was to rent out steam engines and ships.

The minister was afraid that the steam engine would leak secretly, so he never agreed, and worried that the matter was serious, so he had to inquire about it. If others agreed, the minister would ask Xiaobao again. "

Zhang Zhong said excitedly, it wasn't because of the steam engine that it was there, it was nothing but the marriage between his son and daughter-in-law.

Earlier, he was still worried, not knowing what method should be used to carry out a series of steps. In the morning, he heard his little daughter, Xiaobei, said that the court ceremony might be used.

Now things have had results, and when I think about future things, I can't control myself.

Li Longji looked at Zhang Zhong’s appearance and couldn’t understand how Zhang Zhong could have such a calm son and daughter-in-law. Look at Xiaobao. Whether it’s doing things or talking, he has never been so honorable or disgraced. Yesterday, I finally got the upper hand, but the daughter-in-law who didn't get through the door was okay. She took a bunch of brocades from her in a daze.

With a sigh in his heart, Li Longji didn’t care whether the gang of Que Teqin was in a hurry, and said to Zhang Zhong: “Zhang Qing has worked hard, how is the steam engine research now? According to the original rules, it needs to be replaced by generations, to the first few generations. Up?"

"The second generation is studying the third generation. Xiaobao meant to take out the second generation, load it on the boat, send it to the entrance of Bohai Sea, and rent it out. The minister asked about it, but he refused to talk to him in detail. Said I was afraid that the ministers would worry too much."

When Zhang Zhong was speaking, he didn't think of any steam engine at all. What he thought was that the little god's son and daughter-in-law would give birth to a bunch of little gods in the future, and the family would be more lively.

"The minister thought it was impossible." Before Li Longji could speak, Yuan Qianyao stood up and stopped.

Instead of talking about other things, he wouldn't care about it, but he had to talk about the steam engine, which was Datang's most advanced technology besides the telegraph.

He has seen ships with steam engines. The speed is very fast. The most important thing is to save manpower. Although the propellers are still not fully driven, but there are wheels next to them, the propellers are equipped at the back and bottom of the ship. The bearing can't support it for too long, and a charge can still be made in a short time. With the artillery, the power is immeasurable.

If this thing is rented out and bought by another country, and it is disassembled to research technology, how much loss will Datang have

No, absolutely not. You can't listen to Zhang Xiaobao.

Yuan Qianyao summed up in his heart and looked at Zhang Zhong firmly.

Zhang Zhong has an indifferent attitude, so he can do it.

Li Longji frowned, not because he wanted to rent boats, the Ministry of Industry made money on its own, and technology leaked, but because he couldn't figure out what Xiaobao was going to do, Bohai, then Japan and Silla should be the opposite. In which country did it happen

"Your Majesty." Gao Lishi, standing behind him, leaned forward.

"En?" Li Longji tilted his head slightly, listening.

"The minister estimated that Xiaobao made another big move. It may be because of your Majesty that you agreed to help him with the marriage yesterday. Therefore, he had a bit of trouble with Tang’s affairs. According to the past situation, Xiaobao’s plan will eventually form a chain. Things are absolutely not. It will be as simple as Zhang Shangshu said."

Gao Lishi helped his godson speak, which meant that Li Longji agreed.

Li Longji nodded, sat upright, looked at Zhang Zhong and Yuan Qianyao in front of him, and said, "Zhang Qing, since it was Xiaobao’s idea, I should have responded, but this matter is too important. I need detailed information. Plan to reassure people."

"Yes, the minister wrote it down." Zhang Zhong understood. The emperor meant that he would support Xiaobao no matter whether he had a detailed plan or not, but he had to ask for a copy just to silence others.

Yuan Qianyao opened his mouth next to him, and finally didn't say anything. He could only wait for the plan and take a closer look to see what Zhang Xiaobao's calculations, which were almost demon-like, could do.

This matter can be regarded as said before. Other officials did not intervene and did not dare to directly object. In case the plan that Zhang Xiaobao presented was easy to use, wouldn’t he be too talkative, and then Zhang Xiaobao thought that he had ulterior motives, and the good things that he could enjoy in the future would be gone. .

It was not until this time that Li Longji set his sights on Que Teqin and the others, began to appoint officials, praised him, and made another promise to treat the descendants of Datang well.

From the beginning until they were rewarded, Que Teqin and his party have never expressed dissatisfaction. They have no manpower available, and they can no longer make any conditions with Li Longji. At the same time, they are more afraid of showing an untimely attitude. , Zhang Xiaobao knew about it, but he didn't necessarily get something out of it.

In the yard of the champion building, nine people in Beckham were still asleep. They ate and played yesterday. They were tired. The sun was high in the sky, and they did not wake up either.

Xiao Bei, who lives on a small bed with Xiao Yuan, squeezed Xiao Yuan and was about to fall off. If it hadn't been for Xiao Yuan to use Xiao Yuan's arm as a pillow, it is estimated that Xiao Yuan would be sleeping on the floor now.

"Let you compose a poem for me and don't do it. If it weren't for an outsider, I'll let you know how great it is." Beckham was muttering in his sleep, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who came to see his younger brothers and sisters, bent down to listen to Beckham. Muttering, I heard such a sentence in the vagueness.

Wiping the saliva from his sister's mouth, Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan with a smile on his face and opened his arms.

"What are you doing? Want to be a target for me to practice boxing?" Wang Juan asked puzzledly.

"Nothing, hug." Zhang Xiaobao moved forward.

Wang Juan stood still, letting Zhang Xiaobao hug him, and said, "What are you doing in broad daylight, like a child, how old are you? Let’s go, accompany you to improve the plan, solve Silla within a year, weaken Japan, you The goal is not small, but it may not be successful."

"Let’s do it first. As long as Silla has ambitions, I’ll be sure. Will we wait for the steps to complete the marriage ceremony? Don’t worry about counting the days later, and then get married, we can... Then we can sleep together?"

Zhang Xiaobao is more happy about other things, but he can't do things like this.

Wang Juan had to tease him on purpose and said, "Yes, from today onwards, don't live together at night, so that you don't sleep like Beckham and you are dishonest."

"I mean what."

"what?"

"Just counting the stars."

"You, why didn't you collect the information about you back then, you are silly, go, go down and see how many officials have sent posts to see if there are any mentions of things in them. Take a good look at the useful ones."

Wang Juan's evaluation of Zhang Xiaobao in this respect is cute, so Zhang Xiaobao moved to the door step by step with his arms around.

"Here is Li Bai's. He said about his job in the office. Here, you have a look. It's very interesting. He even offered his opinion."

Searching for the famous thorns and the posts that came with them, Zhang Xiaobao found Li Bai's and handed it to Wang Juan.

"What did you write? I took a look. Li Bai can't tolerate it. Fortunately, his situation is much better than in history. I really don't know if you should let you help him like this. If there is really another person named Li Bai in the future. Shang Shu, is there a poetry fairy missing?"

Wang Juan took it and saw that he suddenly laughed, "This Li Bai knew that he had a bad idea, and asked him to correct the form. He actually said that it took a lot of effort to make the form into transparent paper, and the person filling out the form should have the same font. , And then two pieces of paper were drawn together, and the difference was seen.

Poetry fairy Li Bai, if others knew, what would you think? But how come I am familiar with this method? It seems that something similar has appeared there. "

"Of course, it's similar. When signing the contract, it is two levels up and down, and the signed words are printed on it. Can you cheat money? It's just that the technology is a bit more advanced than this, nothing.

You don't think about Li Bai writing poems. Why don't we give him a walk through the history you said? Now that we are here, let's treat it as another place. Stories are all stories, and the things in the story are right or wrong. "

Zhang Xiaobao still has authority in this regard, and he feels a little dazed when he thinks of the historical figures Wang Juan occasionally mentioned.

Wang Juan made a big cross on Li Bai's method, and wrote below, "Doing things is like writing poems, accumulating slowly. If it weren't for the cold, how could the plum blossoms smell?"

Putting it aside, leaning his head on Zhang Xiaobao's shoulder, he said softly, "Fortunately, I have you, or I am alone. What should I do? Go get the medicine later."

"What medicine?" Zhang Xiaobao asked Wang Juan with his arms stretched out.

"Counting the stars tonight does not leave a medicine for sequelae."

"What kind of medicine is that?"

"Don't take it, you should continue counting the moon."

"What's the matter? Count the moons and count the moons. Regarding Silla's plan, I asked them all to count the moons."

The clouds in the sky are still floating so leisurely. The sun shines on the earth through the clouds. Next to the pond of Xingqing Palace, Li Longji and a few important courtiers are sitting on the chair, and a few gold characters are branded on the side of the chair. Authentic Shuiyun".

It's hot, there is a fan blowing next to it, and the sour plum soup is drunk from time to time, and a big umbrella is slapped on the head. This should have been a pleasant and cool moment, including Li Longji, except for Zhang Zhongwai, everyone sweats constantly, cold sweats.

Li Linfu held a roll of paper with a trembling hand. He just read it and put it back on the small table, panting hard, lifted up his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and leaned back, losing all his strength. Said: "Cruel, really cruel, I don't know who will be next after Silla is cleaned up? Japan, or the southwestern side?"

Li Longji didn’t care about Li Linfu’s gaffe. He clicked on his lips and felt dry. Then he picked up Zhang Xiaobao on the table and gave it to Gao Lishi. He took a sip of the special herbal tea he had snatched, and his eyes swept before the courtiers. , And finally stopped on Zhang Zhong's indifferent face.

The others were all sweating, only Zhang Zhong was sitting there quietly, with an appearance of doing nothing. He knew Zhang Xiaobao better than everyone present. He was a son. The plan was a little bit evil, but the son is a little god, it’s normal. ,everything is normal.

Li Longji looked at it for a while and said, "Zhang Qing, has Xiaobao mentioned anything about northern Hebei Province recently?"

"No." Zhang Zhong shook his head: "It is estimated that the crops will not go back until autumn when the crops are mature. His mother misses them, and Xiaobao also wants Beckham to stay in front of us for a period of time. By the way, he waits for Natalie and asks his name. The four events of Najib, Najib and Najib are over. As for the request period, it will be ignored, and then we will be able to welcome the relatives."

Zhang Zhong is a person here, knowing his son’s thoughts, and at the same time, he feels that his son is indeed different from other children. Those who have slept on a bed since they were young, and are a little richer, have already performed Zhou Gong’s gifts with other women. If you look at the cuckoo, you will find that there is nothing left.

I'm getting older, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. As for the Wang family's daughter and her son before they got married, she wouldn't care if she thought about it. You can't just separate the two people just because they want to get married.

Li Longji also understood, and he couldn't control it anymore. He picked up the plan on Xiaoji, flipped through it at will, and said, "I remember that I first learned about Xiaobao and the cuckoo. At that time, the two of them used the plan to make money. Later, it was for local construction, but now there is no plan. Once it is done, it must be a plan to destroy the country.

In this way, the Ministry of Industry can install steam engines on ships and send them to the entrance of Bohai Sea to rent them out. Whether it is Silla or Japan, whoever is tempted will be unlucky first. "

Li Longji said and looked at Yuan Qianyao, he had opposed it.

Yuan Qianyao and Li Longji glanced at each other and said, "The minister agrees, but we must pay attention to the personal safety of my Datang who took care of the steam engine in the past."

At this time, he could not say the words of rejection. The plan clearly stated that as people who went far away came back, something would come out of a tree called rubber, which had many uses, one of which was to seal and cooperate. The copper pads and aluminum pads produced by the improvement of smelting technology can make the steam engine replacement to a very high degree in a short time.

There is also research on the extraction of petrol water. As long as two things called gasoline or diesel are produced, and even if the purity of the alcohol is high enough, there will soon be another machine that is better than a steam engine, called an internal combustion engine.

At that time, that will be the real good thing. When used in the military, people's livelihood can gradually open up some less important technologies.

The plan also mentioned that the lease of the steam engine is not to let the renter personally manage it, but Datang sends someone to take care of all the tasks in the engine room.

One is to make money, and you can make an extra money for the Ministry of Industry, so that the Ministry of Industry does not rely too much on the imperial financial appropriation. The other is to train crews. At the same time, repairers can also practice hands, providing an intuitive way to build new motor boats. material.

Of course, the most important thing is not these two articles, but the third article. The third article states that whether it is for Xinluo to go to the island next to Xinyuan Island to make sweets, or specifically for the purpose of obtaining Datang’s technology, It will inevitably cost money to lease.

When the asking price is higher, they will accept it. The trees in many parts of Silla have already been felled, and at the same time, it is helping Datang to grow cotton. The national strength seems to be rising, but in fact, it is more dependent on Datang.

Then, Silla, who has little savings, has to spend some of the money. The financial aspect is worse. The next step is to grow sugar cane and sugar beets. It needs manpower, and when it conflicts with local people, it needs an army.

At that time, the population of Silla will diverge, and part of it will go to the remote islands, the economy will become decisively dependent, and the population will be small, so Silla will almost be able to merge into Datang.

If the people of Xinluo want to use force to seize the steam engine boat when it is renting, it would be better to do. Wang Juan has almost become the best girl among the friends, but some people feel that the sword is disadvantageous

A few points of neutralization source Gan Yao can't give a reason for opposition. If you have to oppose it, it is for the sake of opposing. The previous Zhang said that he did that, and the result is naturally needless to say.

With such concerns, Yuan Qianyao said again: "Your Majesty, there are still doubts in the minister's heart."

"Tao Lai." Seeing Yuan Qian Yao's no objection, Li Longji's attitude became correspondingly good.

"The minister would like to ask about the follow-up plan. Anyone who knows Zhang Jiedu's mission understands that when he publishes the plan, he must have supplemented it. The supplementary plan is even harsher. The minister does not believe that there is only this explanatory plan."

Yuan Qianyao still wants to ask for more. He always thinks that Zhang Xiaobao is more concerned about money, no matter what he does, the money will be made even if the last thing is done.

Li Longji looked at Zhang Zhong. Zhang Zhong was still sitting there, pinching a grape into his mouth from time to time. This is what the son and daughter-in-law told him, don’t always drink water when it’s hot outside, which will easily cause salt loss. , People are more thirsty, dehydrated, it is best to eat fruit, the water is large, can replenish water, can also replenish sugar and other nutrients useful to the body, and this fructose comes and goes quickly, not afraid of fat.

Of course Zhang Zhong has to listen. His son and daughter-in-law are unlikely to harm himself, so in a while, he ate a lot of fruit. At this moment, seeing the emperor look over, his eyes shook his head blankly: "The minister does not know, as for making money, then It's also from the court. There is no shortage of money in the minister's family. Even if Xiaobao makes money for his family, it is only a little bit."

The old man Yuan Qianyao curled his mouth and moved his beard twice, slandering his belly. For Zhang Wang's family, earning a little, then this point is a huge wealth for others, and Zhang Xiaobao will not let it go. Any chance, every time you have to make a little bit, or the kind that can make money for a long time.

It can be said that it is a collection of arms. It is estimated that the finances of the imperial court are suddenly out of money. As long as the family of King Zhang is copied, the imperial court can support three to five years without tax.

"The minister has nothing else, I just want to know the follow-up plan, and I hope Zhang Shangshu will urge it." Yuan Qianyao said with a little contempt as he watched Zhang Zhong's mouth keep eating fruit.

Zhang Zhong doesn't care either. Isn't there a lack of fruit at home, so you can't eat it outside? Besides, the fruits in the palace are no different from those at home. They are all very good, and it is not uncomfortable to eat them.

Swallowing the grapes in his mouth, Zhang Zhong nodded and shook his head: "I will ask Zhang Jedu, but if Zhang Jedu said anything, I can’t guarantee it. After all, my Ministry of Engineering is not in charge of Jedu. So, or Yuan Zhongshu went to ask in person?"

Yuan Qianyao almost died of anger, muttering: "It's good for father and son to be high officials. When it's critical, they can be distinguished by their identities. When you need them, you can go to your son.

Li Longji didn't care about this, as long as he got the information he needed, he ordered Zhang Zhong to let a few people leave.

When everyone was gone, Li Longji asked Gao Lishi again: "Little Treasure is big. Last time I said he would be allowed to participate in the Spring Festival this year. He did not come back. I missed it. I have to wait for next year. Can I think of a way? Transfer him back to the capital and let him enter the Central Committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In addition to the fact that he is not allowed to be accepted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, everything else is fine. At that time, I was so relieved.

At that time, he has the final say, Yuan Ganyao will be the one in front, and Xiaobao will sit in the middle of the book, I can sit back and relax, and the cuckoo, also put it in the Ministry of Books, and take charge of military affairs. , I didn't want women to be officials, but Chuanjuan is an exception. It is estimated that Xiaobei will have to arrange a good position when he grows up. "

Gao Lishi nodded and said: "The minister also knows to let Xiaobao lead the whole Tang Dynasty at ease in Zhongshu Province, but Xiaobao does not seem to like to stay in one place. I think it's better to ask him two first."

"Well, ask. If it doesn't work, I will add a Qiuwei. The champion will be kept for him. Didn't he have been studying, so he wants to learn the champion based on his true talents? You said that the marriage is over, what kind of gift should I give them? I can see that Xiaobao has been waiting for this day for a long time, hahahaha, actually went to see the moon."

Li Longji couldn't help laughing when he thought of Zhang Xiaobao's kindness.

Gao Lishi also tried his best to hold back. He didn't want to understand that this godson was clever in other respects. He was so inspiring. Why did this kind of thing seem like a personal change.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that ordinary things cannot be given away, and money is even more indispensable. The official position must be given even if the official position has not been assigned. Should it be given a place? Like a lake or a mountain?"

"Huashan? It's too big, right? Find a small one," Li Longji said.
