Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 837

[Chapter 462]

Chapter 462: The waves are eloquent about military martial arts

as a rare food reserved for planting. Li Longji was only fortunate to taste it, and then sent someone to the Zhuangyuan Building to inquire, and got a reply that he can only eat one meal for three days. This is because of his unusual status.

Li

Longji had to temporarily suppress the matter of Wotou, and looked forward to the arrival of every three days, and put his energy back into all aspects of Datang.

According to Wang Juan’s words, the Li Longji written in the book at this time should be in a situation where he was very happy. A bucket of millet only needed a few pennies. In the flattery of many officials, Datang was prosperous.

But now Li Longji is no longer in the mood to relax. The business between Zhang and Wang and other businessmen jointly opened up throughout the Tang Dynasty, even in the most remote places. There is no lack of such commercial cooperation.

In addition to doing business, this part of the shops is also responsible for collecting information, such as the living conditions of people in a certain place, and the officials in the places where the evaluation is not good, and then sent to the capital, so that Li Longji understands that his country is not good enough now, more than ideal far.

Zhang Xiaobao also took the opportunity to deceive and told Li Longji what the situation in the legendary place had become. It was because every family had fruits in winter, and all they wanted to eat all day were vegetables, and the meat was already tired of eating.

There is also a car that is dozens or hundreds of times faster than a horse-drawn carriage. It only takes two days to reach Luzhou from the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone has a very small radio, which can be carried in his pocket at any time. When he came out to greet his family in the Tubo place at the Heishui Dudufu, he was still able to see people.

In terms of medical treatment, Deyi Medical College can’t compare. When hunting on the mountain, don’t eat the ears of the wolf. It’s fine, just hide. Something hundreds of times faster than a glider flew over to rescue the person, and then cultivated an ear to install it again like farming.

For example, before the advent of ships powered by telegraphs and steam engines, Li Longji would never believe it, but now he has to believe it.

So after making some comparisons, Li Longji felt that the people of Datang were not doing well, at least he was not doing well. He was not as good as the ordinary people in that place. His ears could not be replanted. One, this is the gap.

Looking at the information from the various regions of the Tang Dynasty after the summary, there are still many places where people can’t eat white noodles and rice, but can only eat millet, not to mention meat and eggs, and don’t expect to see fresh ones in winter. cucumber.

“I still have to work hard.” Li Longji closed the document about Hedong Road, picked up a small metal box on the desk, and put two drops of borneol mixed in it, saying to himself.

Gao Lishi, who was with him not far away, gestured to the little eunuch. After a while, the little eunuch came back with a tray with a bowl on it.

“Your Majesty, it’s getting late, drink some beef and radish soup and rest early.” Gao Lishi persuaded Li Longji by placing the bowl in front of him.

Li Longji raised his head, squinted at the lamp hanging on his head, glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, the pointer pointed to eleven o’clock, and nodded, “It’s time? Time flies so fast. Help me, I think I can find two more reliable people.”

Picking up the fast radish from the bowl, Li Longji stared at it, “The radish in winter is also a small ginseng. I heard that Xiaobao and the others are growing ginseng in Jilizhou. I don’t know how the planting is going?”

“It was planted last year, and it was said that it would take five years to plant. By then, there will be more ginseng in the hospital, and many other medicinal materials have been planted. Don’t worry, Your Majesty, the pearls have been planted by them. What’s more, ginseng, oh, Xiaobao wrote a letter, mentioning the cornmeal wotou that Your Majesty ate yesterday.”

When Gao Lishi was talking, he took out a small thing from his sleeve, a bucket, and took out a little bit and sent it with the wotou The leaves of , stuffed into it, struck a match, and took two sips, the person seemed to be in good spirits.

Li Longji chewed the beef tendon deliberately put into the bowl a few times, and asked in a vague voice, “What’s the matter with the cornmeal?”

“It is said that after a few years, corn can be used to feed livestock, especially cattle, and I want the minister to help choose cattle with more meat, which will be specially raised in the future to eat meat and save other grains, which is good for cattle, that is Before the corn matured, even the corn cobs and stalks were smashed together.

The minister wondered if there should be a special area in the Tang Dynasty to raise cattle, part of the land for farming, part of the land to eat meat, and part of the production area. Milk.”

Gao Lishi’s eyes returned to the bowl on the table.

Li Longji suddenly said: “Oh~ I understand, I really thought that corn is so precious, I didn’t expect Xiaobao and Cuckoo to be brought back from other places to make feed, they should be raised, I heard Xiaobao said, that place People, whether adults or children, can drink fresh milk every day, and many of my Tang children can only drink soy milk, I still don’t believe in this evil, if others can do it, I can do it.

” Support and trust.

“Xiaobao sent a letter saying that he was going to travel, and he was traveling in a hot air balloon. Has the situation in Silla changed?” Li Longji didn’t know where Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were going to travel, for fear of delaying the deployment of Silla.

“I have heard the news from that side that Xiaobao ordered his family’s property to deliver all kinds of good goods to the border between Silla and Datang, such as the clocks hanging on the wall, such as pearl jewelry and cosmetics, as well as beautiful clothes. , a complete set of glass products, I want to do a big business with Silla.”

“What business?”

“The price for charcoal is very high. The price of charcoal of the same quality is 1.5 times that of my Datang, and Yu We are also discussing the opening of a smelter in Silla.”

When Gao Lishi spoke, he wanted to point to the charcoal brazier to signal to the emperor, but suddenly stopped, there is no charcoal brazier here, the heating is used, and the pipes in the basement kind of.

Li Longji also knew what Gao Lishi was thinking, and smiled contentedly, “Technology must be developed, otherwise I still use candles and charcoal fires, it seems that Xiaobao is going to cheat people again, take the time to ask more questions, the weapons research department has No new weapons come out, so I’m happy, even if it’s in the experimental stage.”

“Yes, I will contact you when I look back, and I think of something again, which may make His Majesty happy. In a letter from Cuckoo to his family, he said that this year Xiaobao spent a lot of money to build a place for cultivating kelp in Jili Prefecture. Xiaobao’s name is Kelp, it means that if there is no mistake, there will be a lot of kelp produced next year, and Dengzhou will also learn to raise it at that time.

After drying, it will be sent to all parts of the Tang Dynasty and sold to every household at a low price, which can prevent big neck disease. The original plan of the two of them was to extract something from kombu and put it in salt, so that the people could eat the salt, but because the technology could not keep up, it had to be postponed indefinitely.”

Gao Lishi didn’t know how far the weapon research went , come up with something else to tell the emperor, and make the emperor happy.

It’s just that Li Longji didn’t look happy at all.

“Yeah, the technology can’t keep up, Xiaobao and Juanjuan can think of this, it is estimated that their master told them to listen to them, it means that the technology in another place has reached, we are still far away, we have to chase, at least I have to wait for someone to have the strength to fight when they call, I’m sleepy.”

Li Longji clenched his fists and ate the contents of the bowl as quickly as possible, letting Gao Lishi arrange to wash up and prepare to go to sleep.

In Luzhou, in the jungle northwest of the match factory, a group of people are busy, some are responsible for recording, some are hands-on.

When everything was ready, along with a loud noise, smiles appeared on the faces of those participating in the experiment.

“Finally made it and sent it to the young master and the young lady. The picric acid has been successfully developed, and the trinitrotoluene is in the process of being developed. The experiment of the new artillery has been completed. .” The

speaker was the craftsman who won the first place in the competition in the capital, Zhang Tianyou, since he was selected, he has studied with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan for a period of time, and Wang Juan’s books are basically written by him. First look, and later was sent to Luzhou, responsible for scientific and technological research, and lead the overall situation.

The person in charge of the research on the new gunpowder heard his words and stood up straight. Although they lost their freedom since they joined the research team, the living standard of their family is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

If it weren’t for the Jiaru research team, they might still be ordinary craftsmen who died within the confines of a certain county. Now they can at least stroll around in Luzhou, or pick them up by car, the kind that many people protect.

The ticking telegram sounded, and it was relayed all the way to Jilizhou, but unfortunately Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could not receive the news for the time being.

At this time, Luzhou did not stop working in the sea with the arrival of winter, and the number of ships going in and out every day still did not decrease.

Xinyuan Island has not been fully occupied and detected, and profit-seeking businessmen have begun to go further afield, such as a group of small islands next to Xinyuan Island, and another island that is no smaller than Xinyuan Island connected to Xinyuan Island. There are all merchants.

Ordinary businessmen used to explore resources, find a way to get on board, then pull back to Luzhou, pay part of the tax, and wait to make a fortune.

Sun Miao is also the captain of a fleet of Jiangnan Dongdao. His family is quite well-off, and he is from a high-ranking family. Unfortunately, he took the imperial examinations several times in a row, all of which ended in failure. He gave up the idea of continuing to go to Beijing and was ready to seek another path. to develop.

When he was in Xinyuan Island, he participated in the first advance team composed of businessmen and made a lot of money. He also met the owner of another businessman, and was attracted by his daughter. He was stunned that he was quietly married and turned into a flat wife.

There are two wives and three concubines at home, sons and daughters are running around all over the place, and the older son and daughter have already entered the school, and their academic performance is not bad.

It stands to reason that he should also be content, but who knows that the twenty-two-year-old son of one of his neighbors went to the capital this spring to take an examination of a Mingjing background and stayed in the capital as an official.

This time, the status of the neighbors is obviously much higher than that of the own family. In May, the house was rebuilt according to the specifications of the sixth-rank official. The father wrote more than once complaining that the meeting was inferior.

Sun Miao also felt aggrieved. When he was raising people, his status was higher than that of his neighbors. Now he has no chance, so he can only pin his hopes on his son, but his son is still too young, how could he go there at the age of twelve Examinations?

Not even a person’s identity.

Unless it was the ancestral grave, the son suddenly became Zhang Xiaobao, and the daughter became Wang Juan, otherwise even if everything went well, it would have to wait ten years, and the neighbors would be pressed for ten years, who knows if the kid will be born to the third rank in ten years. official?

Sun Miao was worried about this, and when he was looking for an opportunity, the opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him.

There are quite a few tribes on another big island not too far from Xinyuan Island. When I went there last time, there was a head of a big tribe, or a patriarch. Very diligently learned the words of the Tang Dynasty, and was able to communicate in a simple manner.

When talking with him about exchanging goods, the other party suggested that he wanted to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The speaker is intentional, and the listener is even more intentional. Sun Miao’s heart is alive, and he can’t get into the Chunwei test. Then he can become an official through other paths.

With an idea, Sun Miao, who came back, started to contact him. He didn’t go to the governor of Luzhou foolishly, and he never wrote a letter directly to the capital. Although he was qualified to send letters to the capital, he knew how to send it to the capital. It’s useless, the emperor can’t see it at all.

After thinking about it for two days, he found Luzhou’s business alliance. UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com One alliance is controlled by Zhang Wang and his family. If he wants the emperor to know about it, the emperor will definitely know. To his credit, the family’s illustrious reputation does not care about the pilgrimage of the tribal leaders on an island. The most important thing is that the Zhang Wang family is very talkative and friendly.

This connection has really been made, and the person in charge of managing affairs in Luzhou agreed directly. As long as Sun Miao is sure to get the head of the tribe to the capital, and bring a large number of local specialties to pay tribute, then Luzhou will be responsible for the road along the road. protection and post-arrival contact.

Before winter came, Sun Miao brought the people arranged by Luzhou to the island, and found the head of the tribe, the mountain soil and stone. The head came up with the name himself. At first, he said that he would follow the emperor’s surname Li, but he was later discouraged. , If the surname is not passed down from the ancestors, it is not allowed to take the surname casually.

After Shan Tu Shi knew that he could go to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was very excited, and he prepared a lot of things that he thought was good, and he wanted to go with Sun Miao.

But I don’t know who leaked this matter, and as a result, it was blocked and chased by the other two neighboring tribes, and Sun Miao naturally became the target of being chased and killed.
