Great Tang princess

Chapter 108 Relaxing Time (add more for the leader [oO Limulu Oo])
Under the Milky Way paved with stars, the Hall of Renshou is still brightly lit.

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian stood side by side at the gate of the hall, looking up at the twinkling starry sky above their heads, with a smile on their faces.

The health ball in his hand turned slightly, and after a long time, he murmured softly, "Even if you are born like an ant, you should have a great ambition! Even if your life is like paper, you should have an unyielding heart!" Good job!"

Wu Zetian next to him also had a smile on his face, and there was even a hint of pride in his eyes.

But she said: "If you want me to say, this girl is moaning without illness. As a royal princess, she lives like an ant and her life is as thin as paper... If so, what should the others do?"

"Hahaha..." Li Zhi burst out laughing, "This is because Chen'er knows the important task of being a princess, and Meiniang should also feel relieved."

Wu Zetian cast a glance at him: "If it wasn't for the childish slave who dotes on her so much, the concubine wouldn't have to maintain a majestic attitude all the time."

"Meiniang is worried that I will naturally know, but since Chen'er is the reincarnation of a god, there is no need to judge it with common sense." Li Zhi took her hand and said softly, "We don't need to interfere too much, as long as we observe carefully, at the critical moment Just guide!"

Wu Zetian smiled and nodded, "Yes, I know."

Afterwards, the couple lay on the rocking chair, drinking tea while observing the starry sky.

Not far away, while observing the two of them, Zhang Chengxin came to a place a little farther away, and frowned at Fulai who was trotting all the way: "It's so late at night, why did you come here instead of taking care of His Highness?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, His Highness has already fallen asleep." Fu Lai smiled and took out a pack of soap from his bosom, which was estimated to be about ten yuan.

"Half of it was given by His Highness, and the other half was given by the son to honor his grandfather." Fulai smiled and handed over the small cloth bag in his hand.

Zhang Chengxin took it and nodded: "You have a heart, thank you Your Highness for us!"

This thing is a good thing, and when you rub it on your body when you take a shower, you will have a scent all over your body.

Although these senior eunuchs can afford some medicinal herbs, it is impossible to use them every day.

So soap is still very popular.

With these, Zhang Chengxin can use them in daily life, whether it is for business or rewards.

"Grandpa, the son will leave first."

"Wait a minute." Zhang Chengxin looked around and asked in a low voice, "Is there something unusual about your Highness recently?"

Fulai shook his head: "No abnormality."

"Be careful," Zhang Chengxin said in a low voice, "The sage suspects that His Highness is the White Tiger Star descending to earth, with the appearance of a God of War. You are blessed to be able to serve His Highness!"

"Thanks to Grandpa's promotion." Fulai quickly responded with a smile, "But let alone, His Highness has indeed improved in martial arts recently. Every day, you can feel the vigor that dances with spears and clubs, even if you watch it from the sidelines Powerful..."

Zhang Chengxin nodded: "Okay, let's go back, and make sure to take care of His Highness!"

"Here!"

……

In a blink of an eye, it came to October [-]th, the Xiayuan Festival.

On this day, Li Yuechen got up early to practice yoga, and after breakfast, he put on his Taoist robe and went to the Huangcheng Road Conception Sutra.

Today can't be as casual as usual, it needs to be solemn and serious, because not only her, but all members of the royal family will come to worship the ancestors.

And on this day, it is also the day of banning massacres, and no animals are allowed to be slaughtered or executed.

People from the royal family must enter the Taoist temple, and craftsmen must also sacrifice to the furnace god, the Taishang Laojun, outside the Taoist temple.

What is better than other activities is that although today is a national festival, it is not a large-scale sacrificial event, so no ministers came to participate.

The craftsmen burned incense outside the Taoist temple and left after laying out tributes, while Li Yuechen did not leave until it was almost noon.

The family had lunch with the emperor in Renshou Hall, and then started playing games again.

Now when there are no outsiders around, the royal family is no different from ordinary families outside, Li Yuechen can even push Li Zhi to the ground to play around.

After playing around for a while, Li Yuechen took out another piece of paper: "Come on, I'll write a letter to my eldest brother."

The whole family thought it was very interesting, and Li Zhi also agreed.

Then Li Zhi put on his monocle and started to write, Wu Zetian followed suit.

It probably meant to encourage him to work hard in Chang'an, and so on, no different from usual.

But when it came to Li Yuechen's painting style, his style began to crooked.

Although on the surface it was said that he felt sad because Li Hong was not here, but anyone could see that the lines were full of showing off of "you were not here so we had a good time".

As a result, the painting styles of the three older brothers in the back also became more and more crooked. All kinds of Versailles, while saying that they were sad and crying for his absence, they also said that it was so much fun to play with their parents here.

Thanks to the last two sisters who reversed the style of painting, otherwise Li Hong might faint when he saw it.

After writing the letter, he immediately sent a fast horse to Li Hong in Chang'an to deliver it.

This kind of letter writing, similar to a group chat, made everyone laugh and couldn't stop being happy. At the same time, they were discussing what Li Hong would look like after reading this letter.

After playing until mid-afternoon, everyone announced their resignation and left Renshou Hall.

While chatting with his two sisters, Li Yuechen planned to go back to Anfu Hall.

At this time, Fulai suddenly trotted over: "Your Highness, someone from the military inspector said that the sample has been made."

"Go, go and see!"

Li Yuechen nodded, said hello to the two sisters, and asked them to go back first, and then followed Fulai to the Military Weapons Supervision.

After coming over, Jiancheng invited Li Yuechen inside and asked the craftsmen to send two completed Tang knives.

In fact, it's not finished yet, but the blade is already done, and the rest is assembly.

But those are easy, this time I plan to let Li Yuechen see how the finished knife is.

Looking at these two shiny blades, Li Yuechen couldn't help but nodded, at least they looked really good.

And it is almost the same as the Tang knife on the Internet. The blade is long and straight, and the occasional cold light can be seen on the blade.

But then I felt that it should be better. I saw a Tang knife on the Internet before. The whole body of the knife is black, and the shell is mainly black, with gold embellishments. It is really handsome.

It is said that the black blade seems to be boiled with caustic soda, but I just heard it, and I don't know if that is the case.

But now you can let them try it, first use caustic soda to cook some other things, if they can turn black, take one of the blades and cook it, and compare it after it comes out.

Afterwards, a group of craftsmen discussed with the craftsmen how to install the knives and knives, and after confirming that there were no problems, Li Yuechen left.

After leaving, I went to the craftsman again, intending to see how my roller skates were made.

At the beginning, Li Yuechen left two versions of the design drawings, one for single row and one for double row, and asked them to make whichever was easier, since she could play both anyway.

Perhaps because of the inertial thinking of the craftsmen, they chose to make it in double rows this time.

And he also took out a wooden model to show her: "This is the sample we made, please take a look at it, Your Highness."

Li Yuechen took it over and looked at it. It really looks decent. If the bearings are installed, it should be able to get the level of roller skates.

The old craftsman standing at the front explained: "We plan to use wood as the base, and steel for the bracket and axle..."

"What about the tires?" Li Yuechen asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, our idea is that the tire is wrapped in leather with a wooden outer layer!" The craftsman next to him replied.

Li Yuechen nodded: "Okay, there is still enough time. Let me make a sample first, and I will try it. If it works, I will reward you!"

"Here!"

After walking out of the craftsman prison, Li Yuechen felt in a good mood.

The two gifts prepared now have basically been successful. It seems that this year can make parents happy.

But it seems normal to think about it. After all, these things she made are confirmed to be feasible after countless practices in the future, so a lot of research and development costs are saved.

On the way to Hui'an Fudian, Li Yuechen thought, the next big thing is still on the side of the household department.

In addition to the monthly accounting, what should be paid attention to now is the grain comparison experiment at the Royal Farm and the grain seeds that those people sent to the south can finally bring back.

As long as the grain production can continue to increase through different experiments, and the planting density reaches the limit of this period, it can be quickly extended to the whole country.

Both Chang'an and Luoyang can be used as experimental bases, because the climate in this period is slightly hotter than in the future.

This conclusion was not obtained by her body temperature, but by the wat board in the official's hand!
The wat boards in the hands of officials above the fifth rank are all made of ivory.

Li Yuechen specifically asked that during this period, there were still wild elephant herds living in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

And elephants are tropical animals, so it can be inferred from this that the climate in this period should be slightly higher than in the future.

The warm climate means that you can try to plant two crops of rice, or even three crops in Lingnan!

If it can develop well there in the future, Datang's ability to resist famine will be greatly enhanced.

However, this is not a simple matter. The productivity of the current Tang Dynasty cannot keep up. To develop the south, it is not something that can be solved with a single sentence.

However, considering that there may be a small ice age in an unknown period of time, the development of the south still needs to be included in the plan.

Li Yuechen asked while thinking: "How is the construction of the production factory outside the city?"

"The project is expected to be completed in the next year, and all the slaves will be able to pass by then." Fulai replied, "I have asked His Highness Xuancheng to help me with the calculations. By then, the daily output of soap should be more than 1000 yuan."

"Okay!" Li Yuechen nodded, "Where's Liuli?"

"My servant has already asked someone to collect that kind of black stone, and considering the issue of confidentiality, I have also collected some other stones." Fu Lai thought for a while, "According to the news from Wang Xiang, a lot will be shipped in the next year. "

Hearing his report, Li Yuechen couldn't help sighing in his heart, this is a sensible employee.

No matter what you ask, everything has been clearly arranged, and you don't have to worry about missing anything. It's really cool to use this kind of staff!
Then it seems that I don't have to worry about anything a year ago, and I can also hand over the accounting of the account department to my sister.

I can fully train the children of the Royal Farm, and take advantage of this time to give them some math lessons.

At least the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within hundreds of digits should be cultivated first, and the rest will be done slowly later.

The next day Li Yuechen came to Zhuangzi again, just in time for Lu Zhaolin to attend class.

So after saying hello, I decided to sit by the side and listen to the lecture, to see how this pure ancient man lectured.

However, Lu Zhaolin is now teaching in the same way as Li Yuechen, patiently answering the children's raised hands until they understand.

The only difference is that he is not as kind as Li Yuechen, and he is always full of majesty in class.

Perhaps because he is an adult after all, the children are a little cautious in class with him.

But fortunately, being cautious is reserved, they still listened carefully to the class.

Lu Zhaolin also maintains the image of a famous teacher, but this image will collapse instantly when writing.

In fact, his calligraphy level is quite good, but helplessly, this charcoal stick is completely different from the brush. Even if he is very serious, the characters he writes do not lose their structure, but there is no beauty to speak of.

But Li Yuechen was different, she had learned hard pen calligraphy, so it was easier to write with this thing.

After finally finishing a class, Lu Zhaolin announced that the get out of class was over, and then hurried to the river to wash his hands that were stained black by the charcoal sticks.

After returning, he saluted Li Yuechen and smiled wryly: "Your Highness, this charcoal stick is really hard to use!"

"Extreme times, bear with it." Li Yuechen smiled, and asked Fulai to pour him a cup of yogurt, "I will replace them when the conditions are better in the future."

"But..." Lu Zhaolin was a little worried, "Calligraphy takes time to practice, if you learn it in the future..."

Li Yuechen shook his head: "Let's put aside the calligraphy first. What the palace needs are talents who can contribute to the development of the Tang Dynasty in the future, not calligraphy masters! Calligraphy is not something they should consider."

"Speaking of which," Lu Zhaolin looked curious, "His Royal Highness's characters written with this charcoal stick are just as sharp. I have heard that His Highness's original fonts are sharp like knives, and the structure is thin but elegant. I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Yes, but looking at the handwriting written on this charcoal stick, you can generally guess one or two."

Li Yuechen smiled: "It's almost like this. With a brush, the structure of the font is still the same, and it will not be bold."

Taking advantage of letting the children rest for a while, Li Yuechen simply chatted with him about calligraphy for a while.

In fact, Li Yuechen felt that if he wanted to make a name for himself in calligraphy, he still had to create his own fonts, because there was no one in writing, and it was impossible to surpass the calligraphy of pre-learned people.

To give the simplest example, even if Wang Xizhi's handwriting has been practiced hard, even if it has actually surpassed it, most people still will not admit it.

Because artistic conception is actually very difficult to explain clearly. In their view, even if the structure is fine, the artistic conception is still a little bit worse.

So in this case, the best way to judge the level is to cover up all the information, and use the computer to scan the same words written by the two people for them to judge.

After the judging, tell them which is Wang Xizhi's character.

　Happy new year, all the best and a safe year!
