Great Tang princess

Chapter 424 Mid-Autumn Festival Event
Today's court will make many ministers feel complicated emotions, and they still haven't recovered from the complicated emotions until they walk out of the palace.

Many people looked at Di Renjie who was walking at the end with sharp eyes, and then left helplessly.

They also knew in their hearts that even if he didn't say anything about it, the emperor would definitely do it.

After all, the salt market is related to the royal income, the emperor is so shrewd, how could he let it go?

But even so, you don't prevent them from wanting to beat him up.

However, it can only be thought about. As the prime minister, Di Renjie, if they dare to do something, they will not die, and this official will be considered as the end.

But Wu Zetian, who had already returned to the Hall of Renshou, had a happy smile on her face. Once the refined salt came out, the royal family's income would increase considerably.

And there is no need to worry about private salt. Royal salt is good and cheap, so how could anyone buy private salt.

"Wan'er, draw up a charter and send it to the household department..." Wu Zetian gave the order.

Because now she has to play the villain well, so the salt must be placed in the household department first. It is not the time to become independent, and this can also save costs, so there is no need to set up a separate agency.

Shangguan Wan'er agreed and went to deal with it immediately.

After finishing the day's work, he took the carriage back to the Princess Mansion.

……

Because it was too late to deal with things last night, and Wu Zetian was also excited because her daughter had developed this refined salt, so she didn't come back last night.

After returning to the Princess Mansion, I couldn't wait to run to the main hall as soon as I got out of the car, and took out a few letters from my pocket: "Your Highness has sent a letter!"

"What? Chen'er's letter? Do you have mine?" Princess Xuancheng ran over impatiently and asked.

"All of them!" Shangguan Wan'er handed the envelope to her, and then gave it to Princess Yiyang and Pei Qingwan who followed behind.

Princess Xuancheng sat down carelessly, and poured herself a cup of tea: "Let me see what Chen'er said..."

Shanghang Wan'er smiled slightly, bowed and said goodbye: "Your Highnesses, take your time, I'll go back first."

After returning to her room, she couldn't wait to sit on the bed, took out a letter from her arms and read it.

When I opened the letter paper, I saw Li Yuechen's unique handwriting: "Wan'er, it's like seeing a word. I'm missing you right now..."

Seeing the first sentence, she couldn't help showing a smile, then bit her lip lightly, and fell back on the bed.

She turned over, found a comfortable position to lie down on her side, and continued to watch.

This letter has Li Yuechen's style in particular. It is written in plain language throughout, and it hardly pays attention to any confrontation between the context and the context. It is very straightforward.

And it doesn't seem to have been brewing, it just feels like writing wherever it comes to mind.

However, this way of writing seems a lot more realistic, and it really fits Li Yuechen's personality and habits all the time.

She didn't care, and just continued to read word by word.

This letter didn't say anything serious, it just talked about the interesting things about the construction of the saltworks and the training of recruits here, and expressed my longing.

At this point, although the two of them didn't say it clearly, everything is in tacit understanding, and the words are a lot more straightforward,

A letter was not very long, only a few hundred words, but after reading it, Shangguan Wan'er read it back and forth several times.

I don't know how long she looked at it, but she couldn't help but smiled slightly, even stuck out her little tongue slightly, turned over on the bed, and turned her back to the door.

After lying down with my eyes closed for a while, I remembered to reply to the letter, then got up, picked up a brush and started writing.

……

At the gate of the camp, Li Yuechen looked at the lush forest nearby and was a little moved.

Shipbuilding requires a lot of wood, which of course is not lacking in this era, but the problem is that the training of soldiers also needs to be carried out in the mountains and jungles.

Doesn't the navy just stay at sea and never come down?After all, you still need the Marine Corps, don't you?
So after careful consideration, it was decided to leave the jungle near the camp and cut down trees from other places.

Anyway, planning for road construction has already begun, and there are many lush forests on both sides of the official road. We can take this opportunity to widen the road.

As long as the first ship is built, cement ships or even iron ships have to be considered. In fact, not much wood is used.

So under her order, the captives were not only responsible for building roads, but also cut down a large amount of wood every day and handed it over to the Engineering Institute for processing.

At present, there are not many blacksmiths here, most of them are carpenters, and they are all professional in the way of processing wood, so there is no need for Li Yuechen to care about it.

But it is worth mentioning that these craftsmen bring their apprentices or children to watch them every day when they work, so that they can learn from them.

Especially when Li Yuechen said that there is no restriction on gender, several relatively young carpenters actually brought their daughters here, so that they also began to follow the masters to pass on their craft.

It stands to reason that the profession of carpentry is passed on from male to female, but in order to let their daughters have a good home, many young carpenters resolutely made the decision to violate the ancestral system.

Another reason for doing this is that they know that female soldiers are also being trained here, let alone these days, women can even do what emperors do. What is a carpenter?
It can be said that the influence of the empress' ascension to the world is in all aspects, and it is definitely not only the court that has changed.

At least since Wu Zetian came to power at the beginning of the year, the status of many women in society has indeed improved a lot invisibly, and all of this is subtle.

At the same time as the new ship was being built, the salt farms produced a large amount of refined salt almost every day. After the salt was packed into trucks, it would be sent back to Dongdu in batches, and then dispersed from there.

Most of Li Yuechen's daily work is still on teaching the children and training the recruits, as long as there is something to do at the salt farm, it will be fine to come and have a look.

In this kind of full day, it will soon come to August [-]th.

……

The army also had a holiday, and Li Yuechen had already ordered people to prepare moon cakes the day before.Qingzhou, Dengzhou and Laizhou all sent Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.

As for the activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Yuechen has already prepared, which is Cuju.

This point was taken into consideration when the camp here was first built, so a football field was set aside outside the camp.

Not only can it be used to play football, but also various other sports such as rugby.

Early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the recruits gathered amidst the sound of drums. After running the morning exercises, they went back to have breakfast and were taken to the football field in line.

After coming over, many soldiers were slightly dazed.

It's not that the football field itself, but... the group of female soldiers are actually here.

The female soldiers were bought by Li Yuechen at the beginning, so they are generally very young, and each of them is currently in the grade of fifteen or sixteen, and their faces are still very immature.

The soldiers who had been training in the barracks for several months couldn't help but stare at each other.

"What are you watching? Have you ever seen a woman?" Geng Yunqiang suddenly yelled, "Relax!"

With a "snap", all the soldiers spread their legs apart, held their heads high, and put their hands behind their backs.

At this time, Li Yuechen came over, looked at the soldiers in front of him and said, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, we will hold a Cuju event here. The rules are as follows..."

First, I explained the rules to them, and even demonstrated it several times in some places, and they understood it immediately.

People are like this, many times it is difficult to teach things at work, but when it comes to playing, after watching it a few times, there is basically a close relationship.

"Four companies, each company will send a team, after two decisive battles, the winner will fight again! The team that wins in the end..."

Speaking of this, Li Yuechen suddenly smiled slightly: "There is wine to drink!"

As soon as these three words were uttered, the soldiers who were already looking forward to it roared in unison, expressing that they are determined to win here!

You know, since I came here to start training, I haven't had a drink!
I heard before that the princess invented a kind of clear and transparent wine, which is very strong, and is called immortal drunk, but I have never had a chance to taste it.

Today, as long as you win, you can drink, which has mobilized the enthusiasm of many soldiers. Many people are gearing up and waiting to fight.

"Okay, each company chooses its own people. You have time for a cup of tea." Li Yuechen waved his hand, turned and left.

The soldiers immediately began to discuss actively. They had been training together for several months, and they knew each other well, so there was no need to argue about this kind of thing.

Li Yuechen came to the side of the female soldier: "I have a holiday today, let's watch the battle from the side..."

Not only the team of female soldiers was watching the battle, but also a group of students from the military academy, who were excitedly discussing which team would win.

"Why can't my aunt take me to the stage and fight together?" Li Linghui couldn't help asking.

"You have to understand that in terms of combat effectiveness, women are inherently inferior to men... Don't look at me like that, I'm an exception. If I play, they won't be able to score a single goal!" Li Yuechen smiled and patted her head.

Although the original Li Yuechen was not a football player, in this era, he is a proper master. Coupled with his strong physical fitness, even one-to-many problems are not a big problem.

The teams of the four companies were selected immediately, and under the arrangement of Li Yuechen, the lottery was drawn, and then they went on the field to prepare for today's game.

And she herself sat on the steps that had been prepared with the female soldiers and a group of children, watching the game on the field, and at the same time asked someone to make a cup of tea.

After sitting down, his attention may not be entirely on the competition, but he couldn't help but wonder what activities his mother and Wan'er had today, although there is a high probability that they will still be reviewing memorials in the Hall of Renshou.

But no matter what, I still hope that they can pay attention to more activities, especially during this kind of holiday, they can sit down and drink tea, chat, or think about their own daughter...

　Fingers are almost healed, the update will gradually resume!
