Great Tang princess

Chapter 283 The Will
At about eleven o'clock in the morning, inside the barracks, Li Yuechen was teaching Geng Yunqiang and other officers.

Usually this time period is for them to come to study cultural lessons, but these days Li Yuechen has occupied the class and is giving them safety training on skydiving.

"First of all, let me tell you that skydiving is extremely dangerous! If a person falls from the sky without proper operation, the person will fall into a pile of mud. You all remember this clearly!"

"Safety training matters, you all have to keep in mind for me. After you go back, you will teach the soldiers under your command. If something goes wrong, I will look for you if I don't look for anyone else!"

Hearing Li Yuechen's words, a soldier suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness, when shall I start training?"

"First memorize the safety rules backwards!" Li Yuechen replied.

Listening to her answer, the people on the opposite side couldn't help showing a trace of regret.

Li Yuechen did this to let them know that skydiving should not be regarded as a thrill, but must be taken seriously.

Even extreme athletes do not die purely for the sake of death, and safety is still the top priority.

Now that the test product is successful, the parachute can also be considered for mass production. Since the sewing machines are all made, it will be faster than sewing.

However, Li Yuechen told the Shangyi Bureau to strictly follow the standards, otherwise don't blame her for being rude if something happens.

Everyone in the palace knew that princesses seldom had serious moments, but once they became serious, the matter had to be dealt with seriously.

So I immediately agreed to make parachutes in strict accordance with the standards.

At the same time, Li Yuechen also began to build skydiving training equipment in the training ground, and at the same time taught them how to roughly distinguish heights and different skydiving methods.

For example, high jump high open and high jump low open are two different concepts.

The next day, on the training ground, several officers including Geng Yunqiang stretched out their limbs, bent their knees and elbows, and lay on the ground like frogs.

Because many of them have not stretched their ligaments, their thighs cannot lie flat on the ground, causing their buttocks to stick out.

This posture looked funny and a little shameful. They all looked at the ground with flushed faces, not daring to look at other people.

However, Li Yuechen, who was standing by the side, was not in the mood to take care of their emotions. She walked by and said, "I remember it all, this posture is relatively the most stable during the falling process, and at the same time..."

Now the Shangyi Bureau has started to make more parachutes, so Li Yuechen also took advantage of this time to train the officers first, and then let them train the soldiers below.

Otherwise, it would be too exhausting for all the soldiers to let her teach alone.

……

Two days later, someone came from the palace and informed Li Yuechen to go back to the palace.

Back at Renshou Hall, Li Zhi said with some dissatisfaction: "Chen'er, you must have made the big ball in the sky two days ago, right?"

Wu Zetian next to him chimed in: "Didn't you originally say that after making other heavenly objects, you would take me to fly again? Now that I think about it, I probably forgot..."

The co-author asked me to come back today to ask the teacher for the crime, right?Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows helplessly.

However, there was still a flattering smile on his face, and he grabbed my mother's hand and shook it: "Oh, don't worry, mother, the child has not forgotten, this is not thinking about waiting, let the hot air balloon look better, and then bring grandpa Mother go..."

"Whether it looks good or not, what's the difference?" Wu Zetian gave her a blank look.

"Okay, mother and father will clean up now, and we will fly to the sky to have a look in the afternoon!" Li Yuechen immediately made a decision, "By the way, you can also call the two brothers and sisters to go together."

Now Li Zhi raised his head in surprise: "Then the hot air balloon can fly over so many people?"

"Yes, but I can't bring other items." Li Yuechen smiled.

Although it is said that the hot air balloon is only designed to carry six people, but that also takes into account the issue of the weapons. If it does not carry weapons, nine people can be carried.

It's just that the nine-person gondola is a bit crowded, but considering that this is the first time a family has taken a hot air balloon together, it doesn't matter if it's crowded.

Not long after, the two older brothers and sisters were called, and they learned that they would go to the sky to have a look later, and several people gathered together excitedly to discuss.

Princess Yiyang asked directly: "Chen'er, how does it feel to fly into the sky?"

"Go up and have a look in a while and you'll know." Li Yuechen smiled slightly, "Let's go."

Considering that they were going to fly to the sky, the family left immediately, and immediately took Li Zhi's carriage to the barracks.

The soldiers did not receive the order to greet them, and they continued to train on their own, without distraction looking this way.

But when he heard that the emperor was coming, Li Xian, as his son, immediately came to greet him.

Li Zhi got out of the carriage, saw Li Xian in military uniform, and smiled slightly: "Is Erlang all right?"

"Mother's blessing, the baby is all right." Li Xian nodded, turned around and smiled at Wu Zetian who came down from behind, "Mother."

"My son has changed a lot recently compared to before." Wu Zetian smiled, and there was a little relief in his eyes.

The two brothers and sisters who came down later also chatted with Li Xian. Since he lost the position of prince, he has become much more approachable than before.

Hearing that the family members came here to experience the hot air balloon, Li Xian turned his head worriedly: "Yuechen, your hot air balloon has only passed two or three flight experiments, is it okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm sure about this kind of thing." Li Yuechen nodded and smiled.

Just for the sake of safety, I still put the parachute bag from last time on Li Zhi's body.

"What is this?" Li Zhi frowned. He had never done physical work since he was so old, and he always felt a little uncomfortable carrying this thing on his back.

"Grandpa, don't ask too much, just keep it on your back!" Li Yuechen said with a smile, "In case something happens above, Auntie must hold Grandpa tightly, and the rest will naturally be handled by the child."

Now there is only one set of parachutes, so it is natural to equip them for the old man.

The parachute can actually support the weight of two people, so if something really happens up there, as long as Mom hugs Dad, Li Yuechen will pull Dad's parachute away at the last moment.

In this way, even if something happened, at least the safety of the two of them could be guaranteed.

Of course, Li Yuechen also has sufficient confidence in the hot air balloons that have been tested.

……

This time Li Xian didn't go on the hot air balloon with him, but waited for them to come back on the ground.

As the hot air balloon slowly lifted into the sky, the two brothers and sisters shouted loudly, but the parents still maintained a calm expression, looking left and right curiously.

It's just that this calmness didn't last long. As the altitude continued to climb, the people on the ground became smaller and smaller, and even the imperial city in the distance was gradually shrinking.

Wu Zetian might not be afraid of heights, but it was the first time she was away from the ground. Seeing such a scene, she subconsciously hugged Li Zhi's arm tightly.

Li Yuechen couldn't help but smile, this old mother has a bad reputation in history, even in this era, she always looks like a calm sister Yu, and now she suddenly reveals the appearance of this little woman The performance is quite interesting.

Li Zhi next to him also smiled, but he didn't show it, but turned his head to look at the scenery below.

Although he has already flown on a hang glider once, that thing is faster after all. This kind of slow hot air balloon is also full of novelty to him.

"Yuechen, can we catch Yun?" Li Xian asked this naive question again.

After Li Yuechen explained to him, he asked again: "In the story you wrote, it is said that there is a fairy palace outside the sky, so maybe we can see the fairy residence?"

"If you can't reach the outer sky, you will freeze to death first." Li Yuechen smiled, "Of course, even if you solve the cold problem, you will still be suffocated to death if you can't reach the outer sky..."

Li Lun didn't understand: "Why?"

"Because the higher you are, the less oxygen you have, so naturally you can't breathe..."

"That's not right!" Li Lun asked in confusion: "It stands to reason that the higher you are, the closer you are to the sun, and the more yang energy you have!"

"Hmm..." Li Yuechen curled his lips, "This question is too troublesome to explain, so let's not talk about it..."

……

Compared with Li Xian and Li Lun who asked pure questions, Princess Xuancheng asked a lot differently: "Yuechen, can you calculate the height of the sky and the objects beyond the sky?"

"Not yet, but one day it will be possible." Li Yuechen nodded, "How much water vapor is contained in the clouds, the cycles of the moon and the sun, etc... can all be calculated."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the arc in the sky and said: "Look, the arc will become more obvious as we fly higher, which is enough to prove that we all live on a big sphere... let's call it the earth." .The moon revolves around the earth, but the earth revolves around the sun..."

Listening to Li Yuechen's science popularization, the whole family looked confused and nodded in bewilderment.

Although I still feel unbelievable, I can't find any way to refute it.

After the hot air balloon landed slowly and returned to the ground, they were still thinking about what Li Yuechen said just now.

Although they couldn't understand it, Li Yuechen's popular science still shocked them a lot. In her eyes, there seemed to be nothing that was incomprehensible.

The time has come to dusk, looking at the burning clouds in the sky, Li Zhi turned around and said, "Chen'er, how about walking with me?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Zetian next to him slightly turned his head to look at him, then turned his head to Li Yuechen with a smile and smiled: "Chen'er, it's rare for your grandpa to be interested, let him go."

"Yes!"

Li Yuechen agreed, and followed Li Zhi towards the barracks.

At the same time, I also felt a trace of doubt in my heart. I deliberately dismissed the things that other people wanted to tell me, and it was definitely not something I liked.

Maybe he asked himself to be the prince again... Li Yuechen thought in his heart.

But today she seemed to have misunderstood, Li Zhi didn't say anything about making her the prince.

It's just that when he came to a no-man's land, he took out a scroll from his arms and handed it over.

"This is..." Li Yuechen didn't reach out to pick it up, but asked with some doubts.

Li Zhi smiled: "The will!"

"Grandpa! This..." Li Yuechen's eyes widened all of a sudden, "Now that Grandpa is in good health, why do you want to make a will..."

"Okay, I know my own body very well." Li Zhi smiled, "Now I'm getting more and more sleepy every day, and my vision is getting blurred. I'm afraid it won't be long..."

Listening to his father's words, Li Yuechen fell silent.

Judging from his statement, it is very likely that as the brain tumor increases, it has affected normal physiological functions.

But Li Yuechen didn't have the slightest solution, and she wasn't a medical professional, and besides, in this era, she didn't have the conditions for craniotomy.

Seeing his daughter's silence, Li Zhi smiled, turned around with his hands behind his back, and looked at the Huoshaoyun in the distance: "The content of this edict is very simple. In the future, Chen'er, if you wish, you can have the power of the Qing emperor at any time!"

After saying this, Li Yuechen suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at his father's profile in disbelief.

What does this mean?Blatantly make me rebel?

Of course, there is no need to say whether he has the ability to be on the side of the Qing emperor, but with such a will in his hand, at least if he rebels in the future, he will be considered legal.

Don't underestimate such a piece of paper, under certain circumstances, it can play a huge role beyond imagination!

After a few seconds of silence, Li Yuechen raised his head slightly and asked, "In this way, Grandpa won't be worried that Tang Dynasty will fall into civil strife in the future?"

"Civil turmoil?" Li Zhi turned his head and smiled softly: "No matter how chaotic the royal family is, as long as the world is still my Li family's world, and the country is still my Great Tang country, then there is no need to worry too much."

While speaking, he straightened his back and stood tall and straight beside Li Yuechen, as if he had returned to his youth.

"Now, if I say I still have a little regret, I'm afraid that this country will fall into the hands of outsiders one day... I think Chen'er should have a way to solve this matter?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.

"A way... I don't know if it counts or not." Li Yuechen lowered his head, his tone was not as confident as usual, "Actually, my child's idea is..."

Li Yuechen still couldn't hold back, and spoke out his plans for the future, wanting to see what his father would think.

After all, he has been the emperor for decades, so he should be better at this kind of thing than Li Yuechen.

After listening to his daughter's explanation, Li Zhi turned his head: "Your system has a key problem, how to ensure that no one rebels?"

"Food!" Li Yuechen said, "As long as the grain production can keep up and the common people can be fed and clothed, I believe that there are still a small number of people who are willing to rebel. Most people want nothing more than food and clothing."

"Okay, the possibility of peasant rebellion has been suppressed, so how can we ensure that it will not become a feudal system?" Li Zhi asked again.

"Finance!" Li Yuechen replied, "The state manages taxation and completely abolishes food feudalism. The emperor must know how many soldiers are raised in each war zone and how much money is spent. The money issued is strictly in accordance with the establishment. At the same time, there must be military supervisors to investigate... …Even if the local governor has a way to hide it, if 500 people's money is used to support 1000 people, the combat power will definitely be insufficient, and it is nothing to worry about."

Li Zhi nodded: "What if... use 500 people's money to support 300 people?"
