Li Yuanying, Li Jing, Tang Jian and Yang Shidao were sitting in the carriage, walking slowly, drinking tea and chatting, extremely leisurely. Oh, there is one person missing, the tool man Li Zhi is also in the car. He is sitting opposite Li Yuanying, eating cherries in silence, and chatting is not counted.
"This road is so smooth!" Yang Shidao sighed softly as he looked at the motionless tea in the cup. Not to mention that the prince's car certainly drove smoothly, and it's not like I had never ridden in it before. Compared with ordinary officials' cars, it was just much more spacious and a little more comfortable. When the road is bad, it will still be bumpy and uncomfortable.
Li Jing's expression was a little dazed. If the Tang Dynasty invaded, roads could be built wherever they went. Plus steam vehicles... wouldn't this world belong to the Tang Dynasty?
"Fortunately, Jieli Khan and his men didn't know how to build roads back then, otherwise my life would have been over!" Tang Jian picked up the tea cup and said very arrogantly. On the other hand, if we can build roads, the countries in the Western Regions will be put to rest, and if we can conquer the Western Regions in our lifetime, I will go crazy as a teenager, so I will have no regrets!
"My little Qiniang is so lucky."
Li Jing: "..."
I know you have good taste, so there’s no need to say it out loud, right? If there is no marriage between people with the same surname... Su Dingfang is a certain apprentice, his daughter will naturally be called a certain master. Haha, the second wife of a certain family is still a princess! No matter how lucky you are, it won't be your turn!
Master Yang said: "..."
What's the matter? My Wu'e is also a child, and she was given by His Majesty. So-and-so is not successful... Wait, so-and-so seems to be a generation younger than someone else invisibly, which is a big family worry! We can’t start from the niece, we have to start from the wife. Prince Teng is a certain wife’s brother, and your little Qiniang is just a child, hum ╭(╯^╰)╮!
Li Yuanying looked directly out of the car window. The three elders looked at each other in a lawsuit, but they were not interfering. If we really want to talk about it, we can all refer to it as a relative. The scenery outside the window is unique, and the peak outside Chang'an City is directly connected to the east.
"Uncle~" Princess Jinyang waved her little hand to greet Li Yuanying.
Li Shimin held back the reins, followed the speed of the carriage, and said with a smile: "How did you become so well-behaved today?"
"Because I want to think about how to make the steam car go faster." Li Yuanying said with a solemn face and enigmatically. "It's seven thousand miles to Gaochang and six thousand miles to Jiaozhou. Even if we go by water, getting off the boat is like going into the abyss, and getting on the boat is like ascending to the sky. It's a big inconvenience, brother!"
High-speed rail is still too far away at present, but the prototype of steam train can be tried. Even if a steam car is turned into a truck, the carrying capacity is far lower than that of a train. In later generations, the Shennan Avenue in China was 350 meters wide at its widest point, so the Datang National Road was 45 feet long, not too wide, only 162 meters.
What? Eight lanes are only 30 meters long. Don’t you know if the road is wide enough to avoid traffic jams? Since it is to be done, of course it must be done to high standards. The Tang Dynasty had strict class regulations. Compared with the carriages of ordinary people, the difference between the carriages of emperors and princes is not the slightest. I don't want to think about the various No. 1 vehicles in later generations. The most important thing is the difference in length and safety level. The difference in width is negligible.
Li Shimin was stunned by what Li Yuanying said, and asked in a daze: "Have you thought of a way?"
The speed of a road roller is not as fast as that of a galloping horse, but as long as it has enough coal, it can keep running without fatigue, so how can it speed up?
"I need to discuss with Mr. Yuan and the others before I tell my brother, so as not to be scolded by you." Li Yuanying's solemn expression disappeared instantly, and he returned to his original casual and lazy look, and said with a smile.
Li Shimin: "..."
I will go to the mausoleum tomorrow, and Aye must take this son away. I really can't bear it! Who did such a lazy scoundrel follow?
"Chidao, Chidao, Aye." Princess Jinyang saw her Aye's face turned a little ugly when her uncle said it, and whispered in his ear.
Li Shimin suddenly realized, glared at Li Yuanying, and left on horseback. Before leaving, he said, "You are also responsible for dinner."
Li Yuanying's sadness flowed against the river, and he leaned on the soft pillow and sang lonely: "The water in the Yellow River has dried up, and my heart is broken. If I had known that the water in the Yellow River had dried up, what would I have done to build that iron bridge? If I had known that the little bun's heart had changed , what are you doing writing that rhythm!"
"Pfft!" The tea in Li Zhi's mouth spurted out, and Li Yuanying, who was sitting opposite him, was sprayed all over...
...Li Yuanying took the handkerchief from Chuntao outside the window, wiped his face and said angrily: "Pheasant slave, do you want to bully me too?"
"No!" Li Zhi hurriedly waved his hand and explained. "Uncle, the reason why Si Zi can speak Chi Dao is definitely because of the rhythm you wrote. Every time, Prime Minister Yu checks her recitation of the rhythm of the previous day and uses this to infer how others are reciting."
Sizi didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Prime Minister Yu. After all, the epilogue to Tangli's tone written by his uncle was very clear and was given to his daughter Jinyang. She didn’t want to let her uncle down. In order to recite it more rhythmically, she didn’t have time to play Shuanglu with me at night.
Li Yuanying looked at Tang Jian with a slightly cold look in his eyes. He wrote "Enlightenment of Rhythm" to make it easier for children to enlighten, not to let you toss my little buns! Asked: "Why didn't anyone tell me this?"
Don't say you don't know, maybe you came up with this idea!
"Your Majesty, not only Princess Jinyang is carrying it, but also six or seven-year-old children from our family are carrying it." Tang Jian was not frightened by Li Yuanying's eyes. His Majesty's eyes were full of rewards, not to mention Prince Teng was still a young boy. He crossed his arms and said seriously. "We don't want the pavilion chiefs below, in order to complete the task or get rewards, to keep more children from rest, or simply to make lies. Whether it is Princess Jinyang or the children in our family, they are more accepting than others. If their enlightenment is early, if they find it difficult, we should consider how to write it to make it easier to remember and memorize."
"And the facts prove that they have no problem memorizing the three laws in one day." Yang Shidao took over Tang Jian's words and continued. "The reason why I didn't tell the prince is very simple. You dote on Princess Jinyang too much and don't want her to suffer a little bit."
Let me ask, whose little girl would be replaced by a brick to hit someone just because she yelled at her for practicing sword practice? Only King Teng not only changed it to a brick, but also a special brick that fit the size of Princess Jinyang's hand. The craftsmen of the Shaofu were busy making all kinds of equipment that would benefit the country and the people, and they also had to assign special personnel to bake the bricks... Just because the craftsmen of the Shaofu would not refuse the request of Prince Teng and cooperated completely unconditionally!
His Majesty's orders are sometimes rejected. How can you explain this?
Li Yuanying looked at Li Jing...
Li Jing nodded and said: "Your Majesty loves Princess Jinyang. We can all understand that Princess Yuxue is cute, well-behaved and smart, but memorizing the rhyme is really not as hard as you think. The princess should be able to memorize it as if she was singing. It will take a little longer.”
... Li Yuanying hesitated for a moment and said: "I will communicate with her personally about Jinyang's situation. I just hope that everyone can understand one thing. Not everyone is suitable for endorsement. Some people learn slower than others. Maybe He is more suitable to learn arithmetic, or to be a craftsman."
There are many people in later generations who have been driven into depression by chickens. Parents have their reasons, but... children also have their own hobbies and realities. Not everyone will go to 985 or 211, let alone become the so-called elite.
Level 8 fitters are equally important.
Tang Jian raised his hand and touched Li Yuanying's forehead... There was no fever. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Majesty, the current Tangli Rhythm is just for enlightenment, and you seem to have ignored one thing, ordinary people's desire for literacy. After learning the characters on the Rhythm, at least they can understand the notices and be able to Write short letters to relatives and understand land deeds.”
Even if you like craftsmen, literate people will learn faster if they learn from the experience taught by their masters. King Teng single-handedly improved the technique of carving, which is the best proof.
Li Yuanying looked out the window and said with infinite sadness: "Maybe he is old."
Li Jing, Tang Jian and Yang Shidao: "..."
Wait...wait a minute, you are only eleven years old and you are saying you are old. What have the three of us become, old monsters? !
Li Zhi raised his hands to cover his face. My uncle always lamented to me that I was still young and he was old. I didn't expect that I would say it casually today...it's so embarrassing!
"Tweet~" When several people were embarrassed, a skylark came to the car window and said: "King Teng, the data has been tested. Mr. Yuan said that we can continue to pave the road and strive to pave twenty miles today."
Li Yuanying stretched out his index finger, touched Skylark's head, and said, "Tell Mr. Yuan that we will go back to the palace first. We will watch the bright white lights tonight and have dinner on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Don't be late."
"Chirp, chirp~" The skylark flapped its wings and flew away from the carriage, heading into the distance.
After tapping the carriage three times, the bride and groom turned around and headed towards Mingde Gate. As for Li Shimin, someone would naturally report it to him, and he was galloping very fast, so there was no need to worry about leaving him on the road.
"My lord, why do you say you are old?" Tang Jian hesitated for a long time, but decided to ask. The eleven-year-old young man, thinking carefully about it, it seemed that Prince Teng still had a casual smile, but he had not hunted for a long time, or Shooting someone with a slingshot.
Li Yuanying looked at Tang Jian with a little resentment in his eyes, and complained: "I work with you all day long, how can I not grow old? I wanted to go to Pingkangli to see the beauties, but an oiran draft made me afraid to set foot there, and Is it more miserable than a certain person?”
Originally, the top fourteen would be selected directly, but Taile ordered that it be more fair to select the top eight and let the eight with the highest votes continue to compete for the remaining six. The Minister of Rites, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and the two city offices applauded. The reason is very simple. The commercial value that Feihua Order can create is too huge, and they are greedy for tax revenue.
Lu Kuan, the Minister of Rites, put it more nicely, he wanted to make foreign countries feel a fairer, more open and more tolerant Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately for a certain person, the other top six will be selected later this month, and they will compete with the beauties from Luoyang and Yangzhou to compete for the Oiran of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, it is the time for them to canvass for votes crazily, and Pingkangli is the stage for them to show their charm.
Someone doesn’t want to be treated as a voting tool, let alone a shortcut to the south. Someone likes pure feelings. For example, someone likes seasonal seafood, and they like to sing the song Red Thread. For example, someone likes frying, frying, and roasting. They like the silver grate to smash the joints, and the bloody skirt to stain the wine.
It will be regarded as a shortcut, just because I don't know who is talking loudly, saying that the oiran draft is someone's idea, and that a certain pair of oiran candidates have some unknown privileges.
Let someone find out who it is, and someone will definitely let him experience what it means to stray into the depths of lotus flowers; what it means to have the sound of the phoenix flute, the light of the jade pot to turn, and the dance of fish and dragons all night; what it means to be seven or eight stars outside the sky, It rains at two or three o'clock in front of the mountain and I hear the sound of frogs.
Tang Jian, who was still a little guilty at first, couldn't hold it back after hearing what was said next. He slapped his hands and laughed wildly, "Hahaha... Hahaha... Your Highness, so-and-so can tell... so-and-so can tell you to spread the word." of……"
"Maoyue!" Li Jing hurriedly reached out and covered Tang Jian's mouth, looked at Li Yuanying and said. "My lord, it was an unintentional mistake. That person didn't expect it to have such an exaggerated impact. Those who didn't know are not guilty!"
Tang Maoyue is crazy! Everyone knew that King Teng was looking for that person, and His Majesty also knew it, but he asked everyone not to tell King Teng. Otherwise, how come it has been five days and we still can’t find out who it is?
Li Yuanying looked at Yang Shidao, with a particularly gentle smile and shouted: "Brother-in-law~"
"It's not me!" Yang Shidao said simply. "His Majesty said he would reward you with beauty as compensation."
The anger of King Teng was different from that of King Guo and King Jiang. They beat people up, or rode horses into the mansion and rampaged around, and then the anger subsided. Think about what happened to Fang Renyu, think about what happened to my cousin's two stepsons, think about what happened to Wei Zheng and Gao Jian... cutting things with a seal knife (cutting meat with a blunt knife), what a hell!
I heard that Fang Qiao had received seven letters. I knew so clearly because the seven letters were delivered at the same time. The postman who delivered the letters was so surprised that he asked the porter: Does Fang Qiao have many old friends in Yazhou?
The last letter was written when he first arrived in Yazhou. As soon as he arrived, he was greeted by a huge storm. The river outside the government office was overflowing, and many fish followed the water into the government office, filling two large buckets... and several shrimps and crabs. Also arriving at the same time was Sima Wu Yuanqing from Yazhou. His leg was hit by a fallen tree. He suffered a fracture and cold. In a word, he knew he was wrong. He could go to Leizhou or Liuzhou and he would definitely change his mind. Never make the same mistake again.
Fang Qiao was a little embarrassed. He neither told His Majesty nor replied to the letter. He only had a few words with a few colleagues while drinking.
Li Yuanying shrugged his shoulders, returned to his casual look, and said, "There are only a few people who can make me protect you like this. I can drink tea with them one by one."
Li Zhi raised his right hand with some excitement and whispered: "Uncle, count me in, I like this kind of situation that is similar to breaking the eucalyptus!"
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Jing's eyes flashed with extremely complicated emotions. He let go of Tang Jian's mouth and said, "You can decide whether to say it or not. I don't care."
Tang Jian straightened his slightly crooked collar, cleared his throat, and asked softly: "Has Prince Teng ever heard of lotuses growing all over the body?"
Li Jing and Yang Shidao: "..."
Can you still say this? No wonder Jieli Khan was deceived by him and became lame. Before he died, he still thought that he was a good person and his only confidant!
Li Zhi: "..."
