Great Tang princess

Chapter 164 Motivation to Study

Neither Li Zhi nor Wu Zetian objected to this idea of ​​their daughter.

And no objection, in fact, is a tacit support.

Li Yuechen plans to open a wine shop first, and then open a restaurant after the two apprentices of the royal chef in the palace come out...

In this way, the future business will naturally get better and better.

In fact, for now, Li Yuechen's dividends from selling soap and glass have already filled the couple's internal funds very much.

The current Tang Dynasty is many times better than the poor and white situation at the beginning of the founding of the country.

In fact, there was no commercial tax in the Tang Dynasty, but merchants had to pay protection fees to noble lords if they wanted to do business.

And no one dared to accept Li Yuechen's protection fee, so her profit was huge, enough to fill the emperor's internal funds.

In fact, for Li Yuechen, the original plan was to flush the money into the national treasury to increase the country's fiscal revenue.

But the problem is that in the absence of commercial tax, the money is not coming normally, so it is better to advance the emperor's internal funds, and the rest will be considered in the future at worst.

……

The next morning, after Li Yuechen had breakfast, he took Fulai to the home of his master Liu Rengui.

Li Yuechen leaned on the carriage, with a bored expression on his face: "I'll go there next time, don't ride a horse...Fulai, can you ride a horse?"

"Yes, yes, but Your Highness, if you are riding a horse, if you are encountering an assassination..." Fulai's face was a little worried.

Li Yuechen suddenly laughed: "Don't worry, I was still young at that time, and I had no power to fight back. Who do you think is my opponent in Chang'an now?"

This is a bit insolent, but Fulai doesn't doubt it.

Now when doing actual combat training with the elite prison guards, Li Yuechen can win four against one.

If it's a fight to the death, maybe we can add another one.

Not to mention anything else, but in terms of strength alone, Fulai felt that His Royal Highness should have no opponent!

During this period of time, when Li Yuechen and the guards were training, they would occasionally play arm-wrestling with them on a whim.

Geng Yunqiang, who used to be evenly matched with His Highness, is no longer an opponent at all, and he will be knocked down immediately when he comes up, and he can't hold on for even two seconds.

Despite his well-proportioned figure, His Highness doesn't look like a strong man at all.

But perhaps it is because of this appearance that when her strength is truly displayed, she has a shocking power.

When they came to Liu Rengui's house, Li Yuechen asked Fulai to carry down the two jars of wine that he had prepared: "Master, this kind of transparent wine newly researched by my apprentice is specially sent to honor Master."

"Oh, thank you, Your Highness!" Liu Rengui stroked his beard with a smile, "I'm having dinner here today, and I just happen to have a taste of the new wine!"

"Master, don't worry, the disciple's product must be a high-quality product!"

……

The master and apprentice came to the inner hall while chatting, then took out the sand table and began to do military deduction.

Li Yuechen's art of war is not bad, at least on this sand table, he can fight back and forth with Liu Rengui.

But she knew very well that talking about wars on paper was just talking on paper after all, and the situation on the real battlefield was always changing rapidly.

If you let yourself really command a war now, it won't work if there are no experienced generals in the rear.

After killing a round quickly, Liu Rengui nodded, and commented with satisfaction on his face: "Although it is still a little short of fire, your highness has a quick mind and there are always unexpected surprises!"

This is the truth. Although Li Yuechen was not a fan of the military, he followed the regular troops in the military camp in the military training at the university.

Moreover, after running abroad for so many years, he has also played with various firearms, coupled with the influence of various TV dramas, he still has some understanding of the combat methods of the future troops.

So even if you learn the art of war of this era, you will involuntarily use some of the thinking of future regular troops in combat.

This surprised Liu Rengui. His Highness's thoughts are really very changeable. If he is trained well, he will definitely become a famous general in the future!
If I teach my own ability to this Highness, it can be regarded as an inheritance.

Whenever he thought of this, Liu Rengui couldn't help but look relieved.

Looking at the slim princess who had already emerged on the opposite side of the sand table, he raised his hand and stroked the goatee on his chin, thinking in his heart: How wonderful it would be if this was my own granddaughter...

……

At noon, Liu Rengui planned to eat with the master and apprentice, but Liu Huang insisted on coming to eat together.

Li Yuechen likes to be lively, but he didn't care, so he let him sit down and eat together.

Liu Huang, who was holding mutton between two mustard pancakes, suddenly turned his head: "Ah Weng, I heard that His Royal Highness brought you good wine today, how about letting your grandson taste it?"

"Bastard!" Liu Rengui yelled directly, "I don't know much about learning and skills, and I'm good at drinking and making money. How will I take on such a big responsibility in the future?"

Liu Huang looked indifferent: "Don't worry, Aunt, my grandson has studied hard recently, and he will definitely be invincible on the battlefield in the future..."

"Hmph, if you only practice martial arts and don't read books, even if you are invincible, you will be a vanguard from the end of your life..." Liu Rengui taught, "What's more, with His Highness around, you can't just discuss martial arts!"

"Ah Weng underestimated his grandson too much," Liu Huang chuckled, "In recent years, my grandson has been studying hard every day, and he is much better than before!"

Li Yuechen turned his head with a smile: "Then how about... after the meal, try sumo wrestling with Ben Gong?"

That's right, there was sumo wrestling in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the rules are somewhat different from those in the future, but in essence it is to draw a circle, and two people wrestle inside.

Due to the sturdy folk customs of this era, this kind of sport is also quite popular among the people, and even women often participate.

Liu Huang shook his head: "Your Highness, with a precious body, how can..."

"Don't talk nonsense, just ask if you are coming?" Li Yuechen interrupted directly, "Add a lot of money!"

Hearing that money was being gambled, Liu Huang thought for a while, then turned to look at Liu Rengui.

Originally, he thought he would be taught a lesson, but he saw Liu Rengui's calm expression, as if he wasn't worried at all.

So he nodded directly: "Okay! It's just Your Highness, in case you get hurt..."

"Don't worry, even if I get hurt, I don't care about the crime!" Li Yuechen waved his hand very simply.

Now that the princess said so, Liu Huang felt that it would be too embarrassing if he refused to agree, so he nodded directly to indicate that there was no problem.

At this moment, Liu Rengui raised his head instead and said, "Your Highness, keep it a little tighter, don't hurt him..."

"Master, don't worry, this disciple has a sense of proportion!" Dimples flashed on Li Yuechen's white and tender face, and he smiled.

Liu Rengui nodded, did not continue to say anything, but directly ordered the servants to bring up the wine sent by His Highness.

When they saw the clear and transparent wine, both Liu Rengui and his grandson were a little incredulous. If it wasn't for the strong aroma of the wine, they would have thought it was clear water.

"Hahaha...it smells like good wine, let me taste it!" Liu Huang laughed and picked up the bowl, and took a big gulp from Li Yuechen's slightly sinister smile.

"Cough cough cough..."

Before he had time to swallow it, Liu Huang coughed loudly, and the gulp of wine he poured in almost didn't come out, spilling all over his body.

Seeing this appearance, Liu Rengui couldn't help smiling, and then took a sip.

After a few seconds, he took a breath with a "hiss", "Good wine!"

"If the master likes it, I will send some over every month when the wine shop opens in the future."

"This..." Liu Rengui seemed a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't need to be too much, just a few pots will do!"

Liu Huang, who was finally relieved, took a deep breath and was about to pick up the bowl and continue drinking, but was stopped by Li Yuechen.

"Let's drink some more in the future. If you win the sumo wrestling later, I will give you some more. It will save you making excuses when the time comes."

"Don't worry, Your Highness! I'm not that kind of person!" Liu Huang said righteously, but thinking of the slap on his shoulder last time, he still put down the bowl and didn't continue to drink.

After eating and sitting together and chatting for a while, Li Yuechen and Liu Huang came to the courtyard.

As a family of military generals, there is a circle that has been drawn in Liu Rengui Courtyard, with a diameter of about two meters.

Li Yuechen twisted his neck, and made a "crackling" sound of bones exploding: "Come on."

Liu Huang was not polite, he saluted respectfully and said: "Your Highness, then you will be offended."

As soon as the voice fell, he rushed over and grabbed her shoulders with both hands.

A vague smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuechen's mouth, and at the same time as he took a step forward, he thrust out his hands suddenly!
"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, Liu Huang had already fallen to the ground, so fast that he didn't even have time to react, his hands were still in the forward grabbing posture.

It wasn't until two seconds later that Liu Huang was slightly taken aback: "Huh?"

Seeing that he had fallen on the ground, he recalled that he just felt a pain in his ankle, and then fell down, without realizing what happened!
Although he didn't see it clearly, Liu Rengui and Fulai who were watching the battle could see it clearly.

Liu Rengui looked appreciative, and Fulai, if he hadn't considered Liu Rengui's face, would have cheered.

Li Yuechen lowered his head and smiled slightly at Liu Huang who was lying on the ground: "Are you convinced? Do it again!"

Liu Huang nodded: "Come on!"

This reaction was also expected by Li Yuechen. She smiled, flicked her head lightly, threw the ponytail behind her, and stretched out her hand to pull him up.

Then he took two steps back and waved to him: "Come on!"

Liu Huang shook his head, forced himself to concentrate, and grabbed Li Yuechen again.

This time, he wanted to know what happened just now compared to the purpose of throwing Li Yuechen down.

Fortunately, this time he saw clearly.

I saw Li Yuechen quickly took a step forward, his hands were like a turtle poking its head to hunt, and grabbed his collar very quickly.

At the same time, the other foot swept across and kicked his ankle, causing her to fly across the air.

Then it fell directly to the ground under the action of gravity, and there was another muffled sound.

Liu Huang, who saw everything clearly, felt a little frustrated, but he immediately stood up and saluted, "Your Highness is very skilled in martial arts, I admire you!"

At the same time, he was also very clear that if Li Yuechen pressed down with his arm while he was in mid-air just now, then he would have killed half his life if he fell to the ground.

Li Yuechen smiled slightly: "Accept!"

After speaking, he greeted Liu Rengui again, then turned and left.

And Liu Huang was still in place, watching Li Yuechen's back gradually disappear. Although visually it was getting smaller and smaller, he felt that the princess' back was gradually becoming more and more majestic, almost covering all sights!
It was Liu Rengui who came to him and patted his grandson on the shoulder: "Do you understand now? With His Highness here, there is no way out just by practicing martial arts."

Liu Huang was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Ah Weng, will His Highness join the army in the future?"

"Most likely!" Liu Rengui nodded, after all, the emperor expressed his intention last time.

And he also knew that both Li Zhi and his wife suspected that this daughter was descended from the God of War, the White Tiger Star, so they would probably send her to practice on the battlefield in the future.

Liu Huang nodded fiercely: "Ah Weng, I also want to learn the art of war! In the future, I want to go to the battlefield with His Highness to make military exploits!"

Hearing his grandson's words, Liu Rengui planned to teach him a lesson, but then he thought, maybe this is a good thing.

At least in this way, my grandson will have the motivation to study.

Anyway, there is absolutely no possibility between him and this Highness. When we reach the age in the future, we should marry a wife and have children obediently.

As for this Highness, it is better to make it his pursuit, a dream.

So he nodded lightly: "Okay, from tomorrow onwards, I will officially teach you well!"

……

On the other side, Li Yuechen got into the carriage and was about to go back to the palace, but Fulai said: "Your Highness, the new pedal mixer that I asked the craftsman to supervise last time is ready, where should I arrange it?"

"No arrangement!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, "Then let's go, first go to the craftsman!"

"Here!"

Fulai agreed, and informed the bodyguards in charge of driving outside to go to the carpenter as a supervisor first.

After arriving, Li Yuechen nodded to the pedal mixer in front of him, and then said to the craftsmen: "Next, you guys modify the front here..."

Li Yuechen's purpose is very simple, that is to let them change the agitator in front into a millstone.

In this way, it should be much easier for them to polish something in the future.

"Of course, not only can you add a whetstone, but you can also add a drill bit to make holes..." Li Yuechen explained to them attentively, "In short, you can find ways to try out various effects and modify them to your heart's content. Whether it can achieve the effect of improving efficiency."

Li Yuechen is very clear that compared to quality, industry is more about solving the problem of production.

Although it is just a small pedal that is a punching machine or a sanding machine, but convey this idea to them, maybe you can get some other surprises in the future.

Li Yuechen is not teaching them to do something, but teaching them a new way of thinking.

The seed has been planted, all that remains is to wait for time for it to take root and germinate!
