Great Tang princess

Chapter 40 New Inventions

Ziwei Palace seemed to be bigger than Daming Palace, and Li Yuechen managed to finish it after running all afternoon.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the Jiuzhou Pool here is much larger than the Taiye Pool in Daming Palace.

There are only three small islands in the Taiye Pool, while the Kyushu Pool here has countless small islands, and there is also the Yaoguang Hall connected by three main halls.

The three main halls are lined up, like a bridge on the Kyushu Pool.

In this era when environmental pollution is not serious at all, it is really like a fairyland.

There is also a glazed pavilion in front of Yaoguang Hall, which is said to be a pavilion, but the upper and lower floors are double-layered, which is large enough to be used as a palace.

From a distance, the mahogany and green tiles seem to be floating on the water, very beautiful!

Li Yuechen couldn't help shaking his head while looking at it. Sure enough, the royal family is the royal family. The degree of luxury is really unimaginable.

Then I went back to the harem for a closer look, and finally felt that the Anfu Hall near Tao Guangyuan was a good choice.

The place is big enough, there are many other courtyards, and there is a small artificial lake in the hall. It must be a good enjoyment to sit here and soak your feet in summer.

As the most beloved little princess, living here should be no problem.

Anyway, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are busy with government affairs every day, the Hall of Renshou or the Hall of Hundred Million Years Next to Xishang Pavilion should be the best choice for them, after all, they are close.

Apart from Wu Zetian and Li Zhi, there are of course some palace concubines, but unfortunately, all the concubines are dead.There are only one or two remaining palace people.

Now Li Zhi doesn't necessarily remember what they look like, let alone compete with Li Yuechen for a place.

At about dusk, Zhang Chengxin, the head of the internal affairs office, found Li Yuechen in the Anfu Hall.

"Your Highness, the saint is summoned!"

"Well, let's go!" Li Yuechen nodded and followed Zhang Chengxin out.

When they came outside the Hall of Renshou, Li Yuechen nodded, and as expected, they did choose this place.

The servants had already finished tidying up the hall, setting up tables and tables, and even putting in the rocking chair Li Yuechen made for his parents.

When Li Yuechen came in, the couple were lying on the rocking chair and chatting.

Seeing the happy appearance of the two of them, Li Yuechen jumped over the table directly: "Grandpa, grandma, the child has been chosen!"

"Oh?" Li Zhi raised his head while holding the health ball and asked, "Where does Chen'er want to live?"

"Baby wants to live in Anfu Palace!" Li Yuechen said with a chuckle.

Li Zhi had a smug smile on his face: "I knew you would choose this place."

Li Yuechen was a little curious: "How did Grandpa know?"

"Chen'er usually likes to study strange skills and tricks, and this place is a suitable place for research." Li Zhi said while looking at her.

"Hey, grandpa really knows everything!" Li Yuechen praised him!
Wu Zetian next to her turned her head and glanced at her: "You will choose, but living here, don't slacken your enjoyment..."

Li Yuechen walked around her and rubbed against her face: "Don't worry, Madam, the child will never let the two adults worry about it!"

"Go, go, go...don't do this to me!" Wu Zetian directly pushed her away.

Li Zhi next to him turned his head: "Chen'er, come, ignore her, I will stick with you!"

"No!" Li Yuechen shook his head, "The dragon's beard pierces the face!"

"Hahahaha..." Li Zhi laughed suddenly, stood up and ran over, "It's up to you!"

Li Yuechen turned around and ran away: "Grandpa can't catch me!"

Li Zhi laughed and continued to chase after him: "Then let's try!"

Seeing him running towards him with teeth and claws, he rushed directly to the table.

Before reaching the desk table, kicking his feet, a diving dive jumped more than one meter from the air, and passed over the table table.

The body fell quickly after drawing a curve in the air, and at the same time gently supported the hands on the ground, and stood up instantly with a roll.

"Cai!" Seeing this scene, Li Zhi stopped in front of the table, opened his eyes wide and praised, "Good skill!"

Li Yuechen raised a finger proudly, brushing away the hair in front of his eyes: "Hey, how about it? Grandpa can't catch up with me!"

"Jumping up and down, like a monkey." Wu Zetian turned his head and said, "No wonder you can write a character like Monkey King."

Li Yuechen backed away and said with a smile: "It's been bumpy for days, the parents must be tired, so I won't bother you! Come back tomorrow to greet the two adults! I will leave first!"

"Go, let's go!" Li Zhi smiled and waved his hands, "Chen'er really deserves a good rest after bumpy days."

……

By the time they returned to Anfu Hall, the two sisters, Shangguan Wan'er and others had already been arranged to come in.

Seeing Li Yuechen coming back, the two sisters who were in Linbo Pavilion on the artificial lake ran over.

"Chen'er, can we really live here?" Princess Xuancheng looked in disbelief.

Princess Yiyang also had the same unbelievable expression: "Yes, this place is so beautiful!"

Li Yuechen waved his hand: "Don't worry! Grandpa agrees!"

The two princesses looked excited, and Princess Xuancheng squatted down and gave her a hug: "Chen'er is really amazing!"

"Hey." Li Yuechen smiled triumphantly, "You two sisters, have you thought about what to have for dinner?"

Princess Xuancheng nodded: "Hot pot! Hot pot with spicy taste is really delicious!"

"Okay, let's eat hot pot!" Li Yuechen nodded, turned his head and said, "Eunuch Fu, go prepare the ingredients."

"Here!" Fulai agreed, and immediately turned around to prepare.

For people in this world, hot pot is a very addictive thing, and now the two sisters are obviously addicted.

……

Perhaps because the emperor came to Dongdu, the spring plowing ceremony here was changed to the ninth day of February.

Several princes and Li Yuechen also followed.

Seeing Li Zhi easily manipulate Quyuanli in the world, Li Yuechen began to think about deeper problems.

Simply improving a plow is actually very difficult to achieve any effect. What should really be done is to find ways to increase grain production.

What Li Yuechen can think of now is soil and fertilizer.

In her previous life, she lived in the countryside with her grandfather before she was ten years old, so she had some experience with these things.

However, it has been so long, many things have been almost forgotten, and some experiments are needed.

The key is that droughts have occurred frequently in the past few years, even if soil fertilizers are produced, there is nothing wrong with droughts...

Thinking about it carefully, Li Yuechen shook his head, regardless of whether there is a drought or not, let's try to see if it can be worked out first.

I vaguely remember that the best time to fertilize is after autumn, and it is just spring now, so there should be some time for experiments.

In this era, the main crops were probably corn, wheat, and even less rice.

Even in top-class fields, the average yield per mu is less than two hundred catties. As for some inferior fields, it is not uncommon for the yield to be less than one hundred catties per mu.

In Li Yuechen's view, this is the most urgent problem in this era.

As long as the grain production increases and the official granary of the imperial court is sufficient, it can be guaranteed that people will not starve to death if something happens.

But the problem is, it is not easy to get Li Zhi to agree to her to do this.

Besides, you are favored, the majestic princess of a country goes to deal with things like feces and urine... After thinking about it, Li Zhi definitely disagrees.

So this matter can't be rushed, it needs to be figured out slowly.

After the Spring Plowing Ceremony, the court was completely stabilized in Dongdu.

Li Yuechen's Journey to the West is almost over, so after practicing every day, he will take some time to update Journey to the West.

It's almost time to finish now, Li Yuechen is doing the final touches.

After all, how can I remember the last pile of Buddha names?So Li Yuechen made some changes.

The ending of Journey to the West was changed by Li Yuechen so that the three apprentices left separately, and the white dragon horse turned back into a dragon and returned to the West Sea.

Tang Seng originally wanted to leave, but because of the order of the current emperor Li Zhi, he decided to translate the scriptures at the Da Ci'en Temple, and his body died, and his soul became a Buddha.

After finishing writing, Li Yuechen took a look at it, then nodded, and showed it to Li Zhi.

Inside the Hall of Renshou, Li Zhi, who was lying on a rocking chair, finished reading the last chapter of Journey to the West, and handed it to Wu Zetian with a smile: "Chen'er, this story is really well written!"

"Hey, as long as Grandpa likes it." Li Yuechen replied while sitting on the assistant arm of his rocking chair.

"It's a pity..." Li Zhi smiled while coiling the health ball in his hand, "It would be great if I really have the ability to command gods and Buddhas."

Li Yuechen supported his head with his hands, and lay half on his chest: "Grandpa is the Emperor of the Emperor, of course he has the right to enshrine the gods! If any minister passes away in the future, Grandpa can... woo..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi raised his hand to cover his mouth.

However, the expression on his face was not very angry. Instead, he said with a smile: "You! Dare to say anything!"

Li Yuechen glanced lightly at the living man next to him, stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

Instead, Wu Zetian, who was reading the last chapter of Journey to the West behind the table, turned his head and glanced this way, and then continued to look down at the manuscript in his hand.

However, judging from his expression, he was obviously thinking about something.

After fighting with Li Zhi for a while, Li Yuechen got up and left.

Li Yuechen, who walked out of Renshou Hall, patted the round neck robe on his body, suddenly felt a breeze blowing, and looked up at the clear sky.

Speaking of which, it will be spring soon...

Seeing Li Yuechen lift his legs to the direction of the imperial city, Fulai immediately trotted two steps to follow: "Where does your Highness want to go?"

Li Yuechen waved his hand: "The craftsman is the supervisor!"

Arriving at the Jiangzuojian, Jiancheng quickly came over to salute: "I have seen Your Highness the Princess!"

"No courtesy." Li Yuechen raised his hand, "Wang Jiancheng, help me find some carpenters."

"Here!"

As soon as Wang Jiancheng agreed, he turned his head and called for someone, and he was no longer surprised by this in his heart.

Those who are on duty in the palace now basically know that this princess is quick-witted and skilled, so she might be about to invent something new.

After a while, five or six carpenters had come over. They were the ones who made the rocking chair that Li Yuechen made for Li Zhi. They were experienced in dealing with the princess's strange request.

"This time, I want a triangular skeleton. The three sides are three feet long, and there is no problem if there is a slight error. It needs to be put together firmly, not too heavy, and wrapped in silk so that it can withstand strong winds..." Li Yuechen said his request.

The extremely carpenter looked around, and the one in the middle raised his head and asked, "I don't know what your Highness's requirements are for the materials?"

"Whatever you want, you can come and decide." Li Yuechen said, "But it must be strong and able to withstand the wind."

Then I started to explain to them in detail, and it took about 10 minutes for them to understand.

Then Li Yuechen left the craftsman supervisor, and went straight to the Shangyi Bureau.

After Feng Yu saluted, he expressed his request: "I want a large red silk, made into a triangle shape, and I also need a few ribbons..."

After explaining his request while gesturing, he turned and left.

Fulai at the back still looked puzzled: "I don't know what your Highness is going to make?"

"Don't ask, you'll know when the time comes!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, "Go and help me find some strong twine."

"I wonder how much Your Highness wants?"

Li Yuechen thought for a while: "Let's go around Baizhang!"

"Bai... Baizhang?" Fulai obviously jumped, what was he doing?It takes such a long line!
"Just look for it." Li Yuechen waved his hand impatiently.

Fulai agreed and took the order to leave.

Although it is difficult to find a line that is hundreds of feet long, it can always be made on-site.

Since it is the request of the princess, she must do her best to satisfy it.

Li Yuechen returned to the Anfu Hall, just in time to see Shangguan Wan'er feeding the fish on the Linbo Pavilion.

Seeing her return, Shangguan Wan'er quickly dropped the bait in her hand and ran down the wooden bridge: "Why did Your Highness come back so late today?"

"Is it late?" Li Yuechen looked up at the sun that hadn't set yet, "Isn't it time for dinner?"

Shangguan Wan'er curled her lips and did not continue speaking, but she was obviously a little unhappy from her expression.

Li Yuechen didn't notice this, and continued to walk in with her on his own: "Now that the teeth have grown, where is Wan'er?"

"Also... that's okay." He said, and raised his head to show her teeth.

Li Yuechen turned his head and looked seriously: "Well, it's quite neat."

Seeing her head approaching suddenly, Shangguan Wan'er subconsciously took a step back, and looked at her with wide eyes in surprise.

Li Yuechen didn't think too much, but felt that she looked cute, so he patted her head.

Shangguan Wan'er curled her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao He who suddenly ran out.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Xiao He ran out of the hall holding a broom and shouted.

Li Yuechen turned his head to look, and saw a big black mouse just ran out of the hall, running towards him.

Maybe he saw someone in front of him and wanted to turn right away.

Li Yuechen reacted very quickly, took a quick step directly, stomped his foot with a "bang", just stepped on the mouse's tail!
The mouse was also fierce, its tail was trampled and instead of trying to escape, it turned its head and prepared to bite her foot.

Li Yuechen raised his leg suddenly, and then kicked it out.

"Gee~"

The mouse screamed and was kicked several meters away.

I don't know if he was kicked to a vital part. After landing, he didn't continue to escape, but his limbs began to twitch.

Xiao He ran over with a broom: "Is there something wrong, Your Highness?"

"No problem!" Li Yuechen shook his head, then looked down at his right foot with a puzzled expression.

Obviously it doesn't feel like much effort...

　Regarding the origin of kites, the author found a few points.

　　First of all, it is said that Mo used wood to make kites more than [-] years ago, but the author himself thinks that it is possible to make hang glider with wood, but kites... are not realistic.So "wooden kite" should be something that can be thrown and played like a paper airplane.

　　There is also a saying that Cai Lun invented papermaking in the Western Han Dynasty and made kites, but the paper at that time was uneven in thickness, and it was still very brittle!Therefore, the author personally feels that the paper of the rare period should not be able to be made into a kite.

　　The author himself is more inclined to say that kites were invented during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.So in this book, the kite becomes the protagonist's invention!
