Great Tang princess

Chapter 160
(There are revisions in this chapter, the original version is published in the book friend group)

It can be seen from this book that some kind of battle should start between my mother and the ministers.

And this fight is very likely because of the last time Dad asked for a Zen seat.

But to be honest, Li Yuechen also felt a little puzzled, if it was her father's Zen seat, why would she kill so many people?

Or, this history is actually the history after I changed it, and the old man didn't give in in the original history?
This question was too complicated, Li Yuechen couldn't help shaking his head, and decided not to think about it.

I'm too lazy to care about their struggles, so I'd better think about going to the south to conduct grain experiments.

If you want them to leave the bustling Chang'an and go to the south to conduct experiments, then first of all, there must be a reasonable reward mechanism to make them willing to go.

At the same time, in order to avoid the real credit being taken away by the boss, it is also necessary to plant spies among this group of people to be responsible for monitoring.

The most important thing is that once the research is successful, then these heroes must be based on the corresponding living security and social status.

These days, when we pay attention to a scholar, farmer, businessman, and industry, there is a very obvious chain of contempt among different industries.

It's not hidden, it's directly on the surface!
Then the first step is to break this chain of contempt and tell them, three hundred and sixty lines, every line is the number one!
……

At noon the next day, Li Yuechen ran to Yanying Hall and told his parents about his idea of ​​sending people to the south to do grain experiments.

Seeing Li Yuechen explaining on the map, Li Zhi frowned: "Chen'er, does this experiment have to be done in the south of Lingnan?"

"Grandpa, only the climate over there can make the grain crop three times a year, which is of great help to our Tang Dynasty's grain production!" Li Yuechen explained.

Li Zhi seemed a bit embarrassed: "Zhenzhou doesn't matter, I can give money to others, but is that place a bit inconvenient?"

"Then let it become the territory of my Tang Dynasty?" Li Yuechen said, but thinking about it carefully, it is not easy to say whether there is a civilization born in that place at present, right?After all, in this era, there are still many savages in Lingnan.

Wu Zetian behind the table raised his head: "Chen'er, you have always been smart and sensible, why are you so reckless in this regard? Is it the actions of the upper kingdom to use troops for no reason?"

But Li Yuechen didn't mean that at all. Even if the people above were still uncivilized people, they were still his compatriots. How could he send troops to fight for no reason?
"Ah, Auntie misunderstood!" Li Yuechen explained, "My child's intention is to exchange or trade with them. We use their land for experiments, and at the same time give them some goods such as porcelain or silk tea... for a long time , They see that our Great Tang is so powerful, so they will naturally be willing to become my Datang citizens."

After hearing her words, Li Zhi gently twirled the health ball in his hand, nodded slightly: "Well, it's a good idea."

Although this place is not too big, for Li Zhi, this is a good thing to expand the territory.

But he still seemed a little puzzled: "Isn't that enough in Zhenzhou?"

"Grandpa, the variables that need to be considered in the experiment are the different changes in different environments, so I think it's better to carry out experiments in more places together." Li Yuechen shook his right hand.

The daughter finally acted coquettishly, Li Zhi nodded immediately: "Okay, what do you need?"

Li Yuechen immediately pulled him to sit down, and added a cup of tea to him very obediently: "The key is to have the leader in charge of farming. As for those in charge of farming, when we get to Lingnan, just buy some slaves..."

Li Zhi thought for a while: "Do you need an army?"

"En!" Li Yuechen nodded, "To ensure safety, we need an army, and at the same time, we can guarantee the delivery of goods every year..."

As for the mode of transportation, you can actually choose to transport by boat. The speed is not much faster than that of a horse-drawn carriage, but the key is that it is much more convenient.

Starting from Chang'an Guangtong Canal, you can go directly to Hangzhou by boat.Then change to a big ship and go out to sea, and you can go directly to Liuqiu.

The shipbuilding technology of this era is not bad, and it is fully capable of this job.

Li Yuechen didn't know this at first, but he heard it from his master Liu Rengui.

Before I was born, Datang had fought a naval battle with the Wa Kingdom at the mouth of the Baijiang River. When the number of his own side was not superior, he formed a situation of almost crushing the Wa Kingdom, and burned more than [-] of his boats.

The reason is that the shipbuilding technology of the two parties is not at the same level at all.

Li Yuechen has never been to the coastal areas since he was born, so he has never seen Datang's warships.

You can occasionally see some boats in Dongdu, but they are not too big, and the biggest one is no more than a train carriage.

However, according to Master Liu Rengui, the current Tang Dynasty has a large warship called Loujia.

It is more than ten feet long, and the deck is big enough to run a horse on it.

There are three floors in total, and each floor can carry a large number of soldiers. It is also equipped with heavy weapons such as bed crossbows, and there are even trebuchets on the top.

In this era, it can be said to be large-scale equipment at the battleship level.

Although this kind of ship has not reached the point where it can cross two continents, it is enough to transport goods and food.

……

After the father agreed, Li Yuechen immediately went to Liu Zihe and told him about the matter.

Although Liu Zihe was strange about this princess's thoughts, he did not doubt it.

After all, on the premise of having made great achievements, coupled with the identity of the princess, people will always have an inexplicable sense of trust.

"I'll leave it to you to handle this matter, right?" Li Yuechen asked.

Liu Zihe didn't care about the business trip, but he was a bit embarrassed for a while considering his family.

He deliberately refused, but he didn't want to go against the princess's wishes, so he was a little entangled in the same place for a while.

Li Yuechen saw the entanglement on his face, and asked, "It seems that you are a little embarrassed, but because of family problems?"

"Indeed..." Liu Zihe replied cautiously.

At the same time, he carefully observed the expression of the princess, and if she felt a little angry, she would immediately apologize.

But Li Yuechen just smiled: "I don't want to do this either, but this kind of experiment, non-professionals are not allowed...it's better than this. If you want, you can bring your family to go, or you can come back once a year. In addition, this palace You can send someone to take care of your parents for you, so that they have a source of income. If you want, you can also leave your children behind, and I will teach them to read and write..."

Hearing Li Yuechen's answer, Liu Zihe couldn't help being surprised.

To be honest, this kind of condition is so generous that I dare not even think about it.

As a princess, how can I refuse a word from others?However, I did not expect such generous conditions to be offered.

After being stunned for two seconds, Liu Zihe immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, I will never forget your kindness!"

"Okay, okay, get up!" Li Yuechen raised his hand.

Only then did Liu Zihe stand up: "Your Highness, I am willing to bring my wife to go, so please trouble Your Highness!"

"Well, no problem!" Li Yuechen nodded, then tilted his head and showed a sweet smile, "If it is completed one day, I guarantee that your achievements will be spread all over the world!"

"Yes!" Liu Zihe saluted respectfully and agreed very firmly.

After explaining a few more words, Li Yuechen nodded and left, asking him to write a list and allocate funds to him when the time comes.

……

The matter here has been settled. Li Yuechen doesn't have much to do recently, and the weather is too hot, so basically he can't go out every day as much as possible.

The business of roller skates has been carried out very smoothly, and it has already triggered a wave of roller skating frenzy in the rich circles in the capital.

Liu Huang and others have basically been looking for places to rollerblade in groups of three or four every day.

It is also thanks to the relatively large homes of the dandies in this era, and the floor tiles are relatively well laid, which can provide a good playground.

To say that the only thing that worries Li Yuechen is that his father, Li Zhi, may be affected by his son's death, and he has been suffering from headaches from time to time recently.

Liu Shenwei often came to give him injections, and opened many pharmacies, but there was still no cure.

So recently, except for the two dynasties every month, my father has stopped going to the court for the rest of the time, and I have given full responsibility to my mother.

Just ask Shangguan Wan'er to write him an extra copy of the daily records of the court, and look at it in the Yanying Hall.

Every time a new issue of the newspaper is released, Li Zhi will also ask for a copy.

Of course, what he read was not court news, but some market gossip and serialized Romance of the Three Kingdoms novels.

Under the influence of Li Yuechen, apart from the second brother Li Xian who was busy with work every day, the two brothers Li Xian and Li Lun would come to see him every day when they were free.

When his headache is not so serious, he will also talk to him, or play games and so on.

Maybe it's also because of getting older, Li Zhi likes playing with children more and more.

This day was also the same. Li Yuechen, who had eaten at noon, came to the Hall of Yanying and saw his two elder brothers playing with his father, but his mother was nowhere to be seen.

So he turned his head and asked Zhang Chengxin next to him: "Where is my aunt?"

"Return to Your Highness, Your Majesty is in Hanxiang Hall with Princess Qianjin." Zhang Chengxin replied respectfully.

"Oh!" Li Yuechen agreed without asking any further questions, and came to the table to chat with his father.

Princess Qianjin is the aunt of her father Li Zhi, so she is the eldest princess, but in colloquial terms, except for formal occasions, the word "long" is generally omitted, and she is called "the eldest princess".

Speaking of which, Li Yuechen's aunt is only two years younger than her mother Wu Zetian, and she seems to have known each other since childhood, so the two have a very good relationship, and they can chat for a long time almost every time they meet.

While Li Yuechen was adding water to his father, Li Xian suddenly asked: "Yuechen, when will you bring the Landlord Fight you mentioned last time, and I will play with Grandpa?"

"Speaking of this, I really forgot..." Li Yuechen slapped his forehead, turned his head and said to Fulai next to him, "Go and find some thick paper for oil-paper umbrellas, cut them into three-inch-by-inch-and-a-half-inch pieces Cut more pieces. There are also red and black paints, ready for tomorrow afternoon!"

"Here!" Fulai agreed, turned around and hurriedly prepared.

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and thought for a while: "A piece of paper? Could it be that Fighting the Landlords is a gambling game?"

"Grandpa is so smart!" Li Yuechen praised, "But it's not just for gaming, there are many kinds of games. I'll introduce it in detail when I'm done."

……

The next day, after eating at noon, Li Yuechen began to draw poker cards in Chengxiang Hall.

Princess Yiyang and Shangguan Wan'er were not at home when they went to work in the newspaper office. Princess Xuancheng sat aside and read a book of calculations. Li Yuechen was the only one drawing.

Pei Qingwan, who happened to come over to relax, came to the side and knelt down: "What is your Highness painting again? It looks so weird."

"It's a kind of chess and card." Li Yuechen smiled, and explained to her while drawing.

It is a good thing that Pei Qingwan is willing to take the initiative to chat, at least it shows that she is gradually coming out.

While chatting with her, Li Yuechen drew the patterns on the playing cards. Not only did he not feel bored at all, but he felt that the time passed quickly.

When the sun gradually slanted to the west and it was dusk, Li Yuechen's playing cards were almost finished.

Asking Xiao He to take the painted poker cards outside to bask in the still sun, Li Yuechen brought Pei Qingwan to the garden and sat down.

"Sister-in-law looks much better recently, so I feel relieved." Li Yuechen said with a smile.

Pei Qingwan nodded: "Your Highness should be thanked..."

"There's no need to be so polite between us, we are all from our own family." Li Yuechen directly interrupted her politeness, "Speaking of which, I just want to ask, does sister-in-law have any plans for the future?"

"Plan?" Pei Qingwan was a little puzzled, not understanding what she meant.

Li Yuechen thought for a while: "If my sister-in-law wants to be idle, the two elder sisters and I will spend more time talking with my sister-in-law in the future. If I don't want to be too idle, I can find something for you to do when I have a chance in the future."

Regarding this point, Li Yuechen wanted her to choose by herself, anyway, even if she didn't do anything every day, it didn't matter if she stayed in this Chengxiang Palace, it was nothing more than adding an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Pei Qingwan lowered her head and thought for a while: "I haven't thought about it yet, can we talk about this in the future?"

"Of course, whenever my sister-in-law has an idea, she can tell me clearly." Li Yuechen grabbed her hand and nodded firmly, "I just hope that my sister-in-law will not see outsiders."

Seeing her sincere eyes, Pei Qingwan also nodded: "En."

While chatting, Gao Yanfu suddenly walked in with two young eunuchs.

The two young eunuchs each carried a not-so-small burden in their hands. They didn't know whether they were hot or tired, and their foreheads were constantly sweating.

Gao Yanfu came to Li Yuechen and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, the [-] books that the empress entrusted to you have been printed, Your Highness please have a look."

While speaking, he took out a sample from his arms and handed it over respectfully.
