Great Tang princess

Chapter 159 Seals
The ministers were all relieved when they heard that they had given up for now, and some even felt scared for a while.

Li Yuechen, on the other hand, looked at his master Liu Rengui worriedly.

It was obvious just now that he also planned to speak out against it.Thank goodness I didn't say it, otherwise my mother would definitely remember it.

Anyway, Li Yuechen still doesn't want his master to be liquidated by his mother in the future.

The couple came to the passage and brought Li Yuechen back to Yanying Hall.

"I don't know what Chen'er thinks about today's events?" Li Zhi asked while lying on the rocking chair.

Li Yuechen lowered his head and thought for a while: "My child knows that Grandpa is because of his health, but...it's a bit sloppy, and those old sour scholars can't agree."

Hearing her daughter's address, Wu Zetian suddenly burst out laughing, and then said with a straight face, "Chen'er, don't talk nonsense!"

"It's good to say that they are old and sour scholars!" Li Yuechen stuck out his tongue.

Seeing Li Yuechen firmly pointing the topic to the other side, Li Zhi didn't say anything, but just smiled, thinking in his heart how clever!

At the same time, Li Yuechen also breathed a sigh of relief, this question is a question!
If I express my support, what if this is Li Zhi's test?From now on, Dad will not be favored.

If I express my objection, I will be hated by my mother in the future if I don't make it right, so I just come here and don't offend either side.

I heard on the Internet before that many parents like to ask their children, who do you like more, Mom and Dad.

She always felt that asking this kind of question was simply a mentally retarded operation, and she couldn't understand it.

Regarding their daughter's attitude of making jokes, the couple didn't say anything, they just looked at each other, and they both saw a touch of appreciation in each other's eyes.

After eating together, Li Yuechen got up to leave, and then went directly to Liu Rengui's house in a carriage.

After saluting each other, the master and apprentice sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, chatting while drinking yogurt.

"Your Highness came here today to talk about something?" Liu Rengui asked.

Li Yuechen took a sip of yogurt, was silent for two seconds, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Master should know that this disciple is a member of the Taoist sect. I don't know if Master believes that disciple has the ability to spy on the future of heaven and earth?"

Hearing these words, Liu Rengui frowned suddenly.

According to her understanding of this apprentice, she has always been inclined to solve problems by herself, and she doesn't look like a person who fears ghosts and gods on weekdays.

But why did he suddenly say such a thing today?

But he didn't hesitate for too long, but nodded and followed her words: "This, of course I believe it!"

"If the master believes in me, then I would like to advise this disciple, if there are similar incidents in the court today in the future, the master must not participate in it!" Li Yuechen looked serious.

If someone else is willing to commit suicide, she doesn't care, but her master, it's better to remind her.

Liu Rengui was startled: "Your Highness is saying..."

"Tu'er didn't say anything!" Li Yuechen interrupted, "I still have something to do today, so I won't bother you, Tuer said goodbye!"

After speaking, he got up and left.

To be honest, she didn't know how much influence she had on the original history, but the fact that her mother came to power should not be so easily changed.

What's more, from a certain point of view, Li Yuechen still hopes that she can take over.

Because in this way, one's own plan to reform the existing system will have a better chance of succeeding.

Habits or systems that have been formed are not so easy to break. If you want to change, you must start from scratch!
The birth of a queen will undoubtedly have a huge impact on this country, and it can play a decisive role in future system reforms!

Now the first phase of the plan has been completed less than half, using newspapers to start controlling public opinion.

The next step is to find a way to weaken the influence of the family and make the imperial power highly centralized.

And for this, I need my mother to come to help me.

……

After Li Hong's body was left in Shaoyang Courtyard for 49 days, the funeral was finally carried out.

Because it was buried according to the emperor's etiquette, the mausoleum was named Gongling. Now that the tomb has been built, the coffin can be put in first.

As for the above buildings, it may take a year or even a few years to continue to build.

It was the end of May when the crown prince's funeral was held, and Li Yuechen also resumed his previous routine.

The only difference is that now Pei Qingwan also starts practicing yoga with her every morning.

In the morning, he went to the prison gate guard to practice with four soldiers. Li Yuechen went back to take a bath, and went to Yanying Hall to accompany his parents for dinner.

Unexpectedly, not only she was here today, but also the three older brothers.

After dinner, the family had tea and chatted in Yanying Hall.

Li Zhi suddenly said, "Erlang, you must know that you will be the heir apparent next, what do you think?"

Li Xian didn't show any special expression, just saluted respectfully: "My child will definitely do his best to not let Grandpa down."

Li Zhi nodded: "Being the crown prince, you should be strict with yourself in the future, and you can't be as greedy for pleasure as in the past!"

The second brother is actually very smart, talented and capable.

The only difference from his big brother is that he is too playful. In the eyes of Li Zhi and his wife, this is a manifestation of not using intelligence on the right way.

Seeing that the second brother respectfully agreed, Li Xian laughed beside him and said, "Second brother won't be free to play mahjong with me in the future!"

"Being a prince, you naturally have to study hard. How can you be like you? You know how to have fun all day long?" Wu Zetian taught him a lesson.

To be honest, Li Xian was still very afraid of this old mother, and immediately shrank his head, not daring to say anything.

Li Yuechen next to him raised his hand and patted the third brother's shoulder: "It's okay, after a while, Yuechen will teach the two elder brothers to fight the landlord."

"What's that?" Li Xian suddenly became interested and raised his head to ask.

"You'll know when the time comes!" Li Yuechen smiled.

Wu Zetian suddenly asked: "Chen'er, do you have extra printing type?"

Li Yuechen thought for a while: "Currently there are only two sets, and the third set should take some time to finish. Do you want to use it?"

"Yeah." Wu Zetian nodded, "In the near future, I plan to publish some books. When I finish, you can help me print them."

"Okay."

Li Yuechen agreed: "Speaking of which, my boy is also planning to open a bookstore! Now the books are all folded or scrolled, which is too troublesome. My boy plans to make thread-bound books."

"Thread-bound book?" Li Zhi turned the health ball in his hand, with a puzzled expression on his face: "What is that?"

"that is……"

After the explanation with gestures and explanations, both husband and wife nodded: "Listen, it is indeed much more convenient."

Li Yuechen also felt that it was about time. Now that the quality of bamboo paper was very stable, it should be no problem to use it for thread-bound books.

The most important thing is that this kind of bamboo paper book is so cheap that many people can afford it.

……

At the end of May, Li Zhi issued an edict, and Li Lun changed the title of King Ji to Xiangwang, and Li Xian, the king of Yong, became the crown prince, amnesty for the world!
When Li Yuechen in the passage heard the edict, he thought that sooner or later he would change the tradition of amnesty for the world.

Criminals should be punished, and their sentences can be reduced if they behave well in prison, but why should those who behave badly be pardoned?

Of course, not all criminals will be forgiven in this era. There are ten deadly sins that are not included in the list of forgiveness, so it is called: heinous!
Although he thought so in his heart, Li Yuechen didn't plan to do anything now, so he had to do his own things well first.

With the release of the new issue of the newspaper, the whole country knew that the new crown prince was now in power, which sparked a series of discussions.

But Li Yuechen came to the household department and found Liu Zihe.

Although she has an official position as a servant of the household department, Li Yuechen only comes once a month on average, and takes the accounts back to Princess Xuancheng to help with calculations, so the people here are not too familiar with her. Will take a sneak peek.

Today, taking advantage of the time to return the completed accounts, Li Yuechen met Liu Zihe in his office.

"Your Majesty has seen Your Highness the Princess!" Liu Zihe saluted respectfully as soon as he entered.

"Excuse me!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, "How about the rice seed experiment?"

Liu Zihe thought for a while: "Returning to Your Highness, judging from the current growth, they have all failed..."

For this result, Li Yuechen didn't find it unexpected. How could it be possible for Mr. Yuan and his team to achieve the result that took most of their life to achieve it here in a year?
After thinking about it, Li Yuechen suddenly raised his head: "Is there a map?"

"Where's the map?"

"The entire territory of the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding areas in the south!"

"Yes, Your Highness will wait a moment!" Liu Zihe agreed, turned and left.

The Ministry of Households is also in charge of the country's land, and maps are not difficult to find.

Not long after, Liu Zihe came over with two people carrying a cloth roll.

Then two people were arranged to open the cloth roll and hang it on the wall behind Li Yuechen.

This map is quite large, but because it was drawn by hand, it is definitely not as accurate as the future.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you can see it.

"The two islands of Liuqiu and Zhenzhou, as well as this one in Jiaozhou!" Li Yuechen gestured to Linyi with his hand, "The weather here is hot, and the grain grown in these places should be able to produce three crops a year!"

Speaking of this, Li Yuechen suddenly turned around and asked, "Is it feasible to do rice seed experiments here?"

Liu Zihe thought for a while: "It's possible, but it's very troublesome to transport and report back and forth, after all, the journey is long..."

"Go down first, let me imagine." Li Yuechen waved his hand.

"Yes, the officer will leave!"

Regarding this matter, Li Yuechen felt that he should really think about it.

Because of the constraints of the times, it doesn't matter to go to such a far place to conduct experiments when the transportation conditions are too poor, but it is not easy in terms of transportation.

First of all, it is impossible to build trains in this era, let alone trains, laying rails is impossible.

It is possible to use wooden rails, but I have seen a human-powered rail car before.

To put it simply, human power is used to replace the cylinder and piston. Two people stand on the cart and use a seesaw-like lever to push the gear forward.

But to be honest, that thing always feels a little unreliable, and the most critical problem is that the wooden track is too easy to damage, and if it is not done well, it will end up being turned on its back.

Li Yuechen shook his head. In this era, if you want to increase transportation capacity, you must find a way to build roads and use a four-wheeled carriage.Or find a way to lay rails, and then try to make a steam engine.

But the steam engine... To be honest, Li Yuechen didn't think he could make it in his lifetime.

Because the industry is interlocking, it is impossible to skip one link and go directly to the next link.

To make a steam engine, you need not only theory, but also the support of materials.

The steel of this era is not a little bit worse than the future. Even if it is barely made, it is estimated that it will explode because it cannot withstand its huge strength.

But in some respects, I can find a way to give them some similar hints.

On the way back to the palace, Li Yuechen turned his head to Fulai and said, "Let the craftsman make me a stirring stick."

"Yes!" Fulai agreed.

……

In a blink of an eye, it has entered the sweltering heat of June, and Li Yuechen's clothes are getting a little hot.

In desperation, I can only ask Xiao He to help sprinkle some water droplets on the clothes from time to time to cool down, and I try not to go under the sun.

Try not to go out when you have nothing to do, just stay in the Chengxiang Hall, let a few maids take turns holding fans to help fan the wind.

In fact, she considered whether to change the foot-operated stirring rod into a foot-operated fan.

But in the end I gave up, because wood is too heavy to be used as a fan blade compared to plastic.

My mother, Wu Zetian, has already put on the wide-cut trousers and armless vest she made last year, and she basically wears this outfit when she is out of sight.

At the end of June, Fulai bought a store in Dongshi. The location is not very good, but it is cheaper.

The place is not too big, just barely enough.

Li Yuechen thinks it's not bad, anyway, it's a place where books are sold, so it should be somewhat remote.

So a few days later, a plaque named "Taiping Bookstore" was hung up.

This name was decided by Li Yuechen, anyway, it is impossible to hide the news, so it is better to tell them directly that this bookstore is opened by the princess.

Like other bookstores, it sells books that can be found all over the street. The only difference is that there is an additional thread-bound book that has never been seen before, and the title is "Journey to the West".

The first batch of Li Yuechen did not print more, only printed a hundred copies, intending to see how the effect is.

As a result, it was sold out on the third day, and people came to ask when the next batch would arrive every day.

After receiving the news, Li Yuechen asked Fulai to buy some more slaves and come back to train them to be responsible for printing.

Li Yuechen's students are temporarily in charge of the shopkeeper of the bookstore, and they also do other jobs part-time.

But considering that sooner or later there will be insufficient manpower, Fulai is directly asked to buy slaves first.

At the end of June, my mother sent someone to deliver the first book to be printed, called "Chen Gui".

Li Yuechen looked through it roughly, the content is similar to the title of the book, it is to introduce how to be loyal to the emperor and love the country as a courtier.

So he notified Gao Yanfu directly, asking him to adjust the movable type and print [-] copies immediately. As for what his mother would do, Li Yuechen expressed that he was not interested.

　Thank you [My Glory_Long Time Parting] for the reward of 100 starting coins!
