Great Tang princess

Chapter 143 Selfish Request

Leaving Jixianfang, on the way back to the palace, Li Yuechen leaned on the carriage, put his hands behind his head and thought about the follow-up.

Now that the affairs of the branch have been settled, let them develop slowly by themselves.

The sales of bamboo paper are also increasing day by day, and the sales of soap and glass are also very stable.

Thinking that there is nothing else to be busy with next, Li Yuechen heaved a sigh of relief, finally he can rest for a while, and he can also work hard to do some things he really wants to do.

After taking a shower the next morning after practicing, Li Yuechen lay down on the table and began to draw the design of the bicycle.

It is said to be a design drawing, but in fact, she can only draw a general appearance. She knows what many details are, but she can't draw them.

So after lunch, I hurried to the craftsman supervisor and explained it to the craftsmen.

"I believe you can understand the frame and tires. The key is to add a ratchet to the gear here on the pedal..."

The ratchet does not need to use a coil spring, even a reed is fine, but in order to train these craftsmen, Li Yuechen ordered them to try to make it.

But what is going to be made is not a real coil spring, but the kind where a thin wire wraps around the city like a coil, with a section exposed at each end.

The ratchet of the bicycle pedal cannot be omitted. Only by adding this part can it be ensured that the pedal can drive the tire when the pedal is pushed forward, and it will idle when the pedal is pushed backward.

Without this part, it becomes a dead fly.

Of course, Sifei himself is fine, but for this group of people who have never played bicycles, it is a bit difficult.

But since it cannot be made into a dead fly, it must be braked.

Now that the wire can be pulled out, there should be no problem with the brake wire.

Hearing her explanation, and looking at the design drawing on the wall, the craftsmen nodded and said that it should be no problem, they can try.

In order to save materials, Li Yuechen asked other questions, for example, can iron bamboo replace metal spokes?

It doesn't matter if it is thicker, as long as the strength and elasticity are okay.

The main reason is that the bicycle she wants to use is different from ordinary ones. If possible, Li Yuechen still hopes to make a climbing bicycle.

At that time, no matter where you go in the palace, you will be able to move quickly. Among other things, you will be able to go faster every day when you go to the Hall of Renshou to pay your respects.

Li Yuechen stayed in the craftsman for almost an hour, and after having a good chat with the craftsmen, Li Yuechen left.

You don't have to worry about the frame and tires. There are also bearings and wires. Things like bicycles are really not too difficult.

At least for these craftsmen, they have a direction, and they won't lose sight of it.

Coming out of the Craftsmanship Supervisor, he was about to go to the Hall of Renshou to greet his parents and chat with them, when he suddenly heard someone calling.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Li Yuechen turned his head, and saw Sinong Shaoqing Liu Zihe running over panting.

"Oh, what are you looking for?" Li Yuechen asked.

Liu Zihe took a breath: "Your Highness, all the people sent out have returned, and they have found a lot of wild rice seeds from the south. As for those who went to other countries to purchase rice seeds, it may take some time..."

"Well, not bad!" Li Yuechen nodded and praised, "I can't catch up with it this year, and I have to go back to Chang'an at the end of the year. Let's start the experiment in the Royal Farm in Chang'an next year."

"Yes!" Liu Zihe saluted and agreed, "I don't know but His Highness..."

Li Yuechen smiled and waved his hands: "I must be busy with other things at that time, you have to do this yourself. I have already taught you what can be taught about this matter, and the rest can only be left to you to try slowly. "

"Okay, I understand!" Liu Zihe saluted and agreed, but the expression on his face was a bit embarrassed, "It's just that His Highness has great luck, I'll wait..."

Hearing his words, Li Yuechen couldn't help but smiled: "Don't worry, even if you fail for a while, you won't be punished. The key is to keep your original intention and keep trying."

"Here!" Liu Zihe respectfully agreed.

……

After sending Liu Zihe away, Li Yuechen was obviously in a good mood, and bounced to the Hall of Renshou.

Fulai from behind couldn't help but also laughed: "Your Highness, if this experiment is successful, will Datang not be short of food in the future?"

"Actually, based on the current population of Datang, that is indeed the case." Li Yuechen nodded, "The key is that with the increase in food production, more people will try other industries in the future. This is the most important thing."

"That……"

Li Yuechen waved his hand impatiently: "Don't ask so many questions, it's useless to ask."

Fulai hurriedly saluted: "Yes, this servant is talking too much!"

When they arrived at Renshou Hall, Li Yuechen told his parents the news just now, and both of them had smiles on their faces.

For any emperor, this is the best news. There is no shortage of food, which means that the population will increase, and the increase in population is the continuous fighting power of the country.

Li Yuechen chatted with the happy couple for a while, and returned to Anfu Hall in the middle of the afternoon.

……

In the blink of an eye, ten or so days passed peacefully.

During this period of time, Li Yuechen didn't go out very much every day. Apart from going to greet his parents every day, he spent most of his time in the Anfu Hall.

The only thing that is different from before is that Princess Yiyang and Shangguan Wan'er now go to the newspaper office to review articles every day.

Li Yuechen set them a work and rest time of five days off and two days off according to the weekly system, so as not to let them get exhausted.

But to be honest, there is another problem that needs to be changed.

Now every time they publish news, they are told by themselves, and it is too tiring to forward it through themselves every time in the future.

In the future, it would be best for the two of them to follow the court to listen to the government, which would improve a lot of efficiency.

But this is not just talk.

After all, the identities of the two elder sisters are too sensitive, and my mother must be on guard against them, and according to her personality, once she finds that they are threatening her, she will definitely attack without hesitation.

So this candidate is either Shangguan Wan'er, or let the parents choose a trusted person.

But now the two of them don't care about this matter on the surface, and they can be regarded as leaving a way out, in case something happens in the future, it will be convenient for them to intervene.

In this way, Shangguan Wan'er became the best candidate.First of all, she has the ability, although she is only ten years old now, she has already read a lot of books, and she is good at writing.

The poems I usually write are often circulated among the court ladies and eunuchs. Although Li Yuechen can't tell whether the poems are good or not, at least they have gradually gained fame.

Secondly, she is a servant after all, and she is also a family member of a criminal minister, so she doesn't have to worry about the threat to her mother if she holds power in the future.

Although it is said that her father and grandfather were killed by her mother, in fact she has no memory of these two people.

According to Li Yuechen's usual observations, she didn't care about this aspect, and Zheng didn't seem to instill hatred in her.

Although it was unfair to her, Li Yuechen felt that it was good after all.

No matter what happened to Wu Zetian, I was still her daughter. If the two were enemies, I would definitely choose to stand on my mother's side.

……

When it was almost dusk, Princess Yiyang and Shangguan Wan'er also came back.

Seeing that Li Yuechen was studying a math problem with Princess Xuancheng, the two of them also came over and sat down, looking curiously at the side to take a look.

But now Princess Xuancheng's mathematics level has reached the level of high school students, leaving the two of them far behind.

Seeing the two sitting down, Li Yuechen suddenly raised his head and waved to the surrounding maids: "Get out!"

The surrounding maids bowed and saluted, and turned to go out one after another.

Seeing such a scene, Yiyang and Xuancheng looked at each other, knowing that she must have something to say, they also became serious.

Shangguan Wan'er also turned her head to look at her curiously.

"Sister, don't be nervous. I just want to say that it's too troublesome for the newspaper office to rely on me to deliver information to you, so..."

Li Yuechen explained his thoughts, and then said: "My sister is sensitive after all, I don't want to arouse my mother's suspicion, so I want to recommend Wan'er to do this."

"nature!"

Yi Yang nodded to express his understanding: "It should be so."

Li Yuechen took a deep breath, and then continued: "There may be many such things in the future, so I want to make some things clear in advance at this time."

"En." Princess Yiyang nodded, telling her to speak.

"I really like the two sisters, but because of this, I hope that the two sisters will not think about revenge. If one day you become enemies with A Niang, I will not stand by your side!"

Li Yuechen's expression was a bit tangled, but his eyes were firm: "No matter what your image of A Niang is in your hearts, be it ruthless or vicious! I am her daughter, and no matter what happens, I will stand by her side!"

"Besides, with the two sisters, it is impossible to beat her! You have no idea what great achievements she will make in the future! So I hope that the two sisters can let go of the hatred of the previous generation. Although this request is very selfish , but I don't want anything to happen to the two elder sisters, so I hope you can promise me!"

Li Yuechen knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, but even so, she still wanted to speak.

Because she really didn't want to watch her two sisters fly to the flames, their two levels were too low.

Who is Wu Zetian?After more than a thousand years, if you read the history books, there must be many famous women, but there is only one who can really sit on the dragon chair!
Hearing her words, Princess Xuancheng and Princess Yiyang looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.

There was a trace of unwillingness in this smile, but more of it was relief.

"How come we don't understand what Chen'er said?" Princess Yiyang smiled, "Chen'er, don't worry, I have nothing to ask for now, just be alive!"

Princess Xuancheng next to her also nodded: "I really didn't expect Chen'er to talk to us about this. But it also shows that Chen'er is sincerely doing our best! Let's not think about the grievances of the previous generation. From now on, We're still sisters!"

Seeing the two expressed their opinions, Li Yuechen nodded: "That's good, Yuechen is here to thank the two elder sisters... In this way, Yuechen can rest assured that he will not become enemies with the two elder sisters in the future."

"Don't worry, Chen'er, it won't happen!" Princess Yiyang smiled softly.

Li Yuechen nodded and grinned.

"Come on, give me a hug!" Princess Xuancheng rushed over and gave her a big hug.

Princess Xuancheng also came over and opened her arms, hugging her together.

Li Yuechen, who was being hugged, couldn't help but twitched his nose, and said in a low voice: "Chen'er, I'm sorry to the two sisters..."

After all, this request is really too selfish. It is reasonable to say that the revenge of killing her mother should never end, but now that the two sisters are willing to let go for her, she really feels sorry for them.

"It's okay..." Princess Yiyang smiled softly, raised her hand and touched her head, "Let's let the things of the previous generation pass."

Princess Xuancheng also smiled and rubbed her face: "In the future, we will be sisters!"

Li Yuechen held back his tears, nodded heavily, then turned his head and said, "Wan'er, you too, don't think about it in the future..."

"Don't worry, Your Highness!"

Shangguan Wan'er interrupted Li Yuechen's words for the first time, and grinned: "Wan'er doesn't want to think about those messy things, Wan'er just wants to be with His Highness! It's enough to play with His Highness often and help His Highness." Already!"

Li Yuechen nodded, stretched out his arms to hug her, gave her a gentle hug, and at the same time whispered sorry in her ear.

……

The next day, in the Hall of Renshou, Li Yuechen told his parents what he thought.

"Um……"

Li Zhi was spinning the health ball in his hand, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Then Shangguan Wan'er, is she too young?"

"She is one year older than the boy." Li Yuechen said with a smile, "Of course she is the most suitable person around the boy. It would be better if there is someone else to choose."

Wu Zetian, who was behind the table, turned his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's better not to participate in this matter for the time being. Let's see more."

Li Zhi nodded: "Well, since she is recommended by Chen'er, she must have good ability. In the future, let her listen to the government behind the passage with you."

The emperor agreed, Li Yuechen nodded, and then roughly explained the specific method.

To put it simply, Shangguan Wan'er will also follow the government in the passage and record the court news.

Of course, before the newspaper is released, it will be handed over to the emperor for review, and it will be issued after agreeing to confirm that there is no problem.

In this way, the work efficiency can be improved a lot, and in the future, all kinds of things in other branches will be reported to the newspaper, and she will report to the emperor, which can also minimize leaks.

It seems that the female prime minister is going to be on the stage ahead of time?Li Yuechen couldn't help thinking.

She didn't know when the Shangguan Wan'er in history started to emerge, but it shouldn't be possible for her to be younger than she is now, right?
Li Yuechen who walked out of the Hall of Renshou shook his head and threw out those messy thoughts.

Forget it, anyway, he is also a famous person in history, so what does it matter if he is earlier or later?
Going on the stage earlier might be able to achieve greater achievements than before, leaving a more resounding name in history?

and many more!wrong!
Li Yuechen stopped suddenly. In the future, this Shangguan Wan'er will not be trained to be a spy chief, right?
