Great Tang princess

Chapter 436 The end of the year
Li Yuechen didn't go to deal with Qingzhou's affairs in person, just to see Jiang Zheng'an's ability to handle affairs.

After explaining the matter to him, Li Yuechen went back to continue teaching the children.

"Auntie, I don't understand. Abolishing Lianzao will cause endless troubles?" Li Shouyi asked in confusion, "Why can't we catch them all?"

Li Yuechen on the podium was not surprised that the child asked such a question.

These children born in the royal family knew the truth that weeds should be eradicated since childhood.

Regarding this, she just smiled lightly, and then said: "The butcher's theory is often the most direct but also the most useless. Even if you punish nine and ten clans, won't there be more enemies in the future?"

"Maybe you think these are two different things, but in fact there is not much difference. Because there are so many people in the country, it is impossible to kill them all? Even if they are killed one day, how can the country exist?"

Li Yuechen supported the podium with both hands, and said very seriously: "You need to always remember one thing, the enemy will exist at any time! It will not change because of sitting or not."

"The biggest reason behind this is the diversity and complexity of society. I once said that there can never be two identical leaves in this world. In the same way, there can never be people who think exactly the same. Around you Everyone in the world may become your potential enemy."

Li Shouyi who was on the side asked, "Then how should we deal with it?"

"I have said this question before, stay vigilant! Nothing in life can be expected to be done once and for all. We must be prepared to deal with emergencies at any time. Don't be afraid of any potential enemies. What we should beware of is hidden secrets. Enemies that have not yet appeared, and enemies that may appear in the future!" Li Yuechen picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Li Shouli nodded: "Didn't you say that you can't relax for the rest of your life?"

"Others can, but we can't!" Li Yuechen shook his head, "We are in important positions, controlling every step of the country's direction. One wrong step may bring unimaginable disasters to the future. Therefore, We and the royal family, before retiring from office, we must maintain momentum and keep ourselves in the best condition at all times!"

Li Linghui, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help complaining: "Then, isn't it true that you were born in the royal family..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he might have made a slip of the tongue, and quickly covered his mouth again, not saying the following words.

However, Li Yuechen took up the conversation indifferently: "That's right, with the changes in the duties of the royal family in the future, you will definitely feel that being born in the royal family must be the result of sins committed in your previous life!"

Speaking of this, her expression also became serious: "Defend the country and continue the country. In the future, it will become the glory and responsibility of our royal family. But also, it will also become our shackles and curse!"

"But I still don't understand! Now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, there are abundant products, and there are grenades and artillery. Why not take advantage of the situation and fight in all directions to completely knock down the ball under your feet?" Li Linghui asked.

Although she is a girl, but being able to say such words, it can be seen that this character will definitely be a female man in the future.

Other people around also nodded in agreement, only some who were too young still didn't know why.

"Again, it's Earth!"

Li Yuechen corrected it, and then replied: "Let me tell a story!"

As soon as they heard that a story was going to be told, the drowsy children in the back row all raised their heads, opened their eyes wide, and looked expectant.

They especially like Li Yuechen's storytelling, because her stories are always novel and orderly, and in this age where poetry and essays are the main body, those who have heard them will never forget them.

She picked up a chair and placed it beside the podium, sat down and took a sip of tea before she began to tell: "Once upon a time, there was a monarch whose fighting power was comparable to Taizong's, called Temujin. His army was extremely powerful. Under his command, he won consecutive battles and conquered a huge territory, which is even wider than the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty today...but his country fell apart in less than a hundred years."

"..."

The classroom fell into a silence that lasted for 1 minutes. Li Linghui raised his head belatedly: "It's gone?"

"No more!" Li Yuechen nodded.

"This……"

Such a short story made the children in the classroom feel dumbfounded.

In the past, Li Yuechen's storytelling was always vivid and unusual, with various plots ups and downs. It has never been like today, and the story is finished in two or three sentences.

"Now, let's guess why his Guozuo Association is so short?" Li Yuechen asked while drinking tea.

Li Shouyi raised his hand: "Because I met a stronger enemy!"

"Wrong!" Li Yuechen shook his head.

"Because there were too many murders, there were no one left!" Li Linghui replied.

"There are reasons for that, but there are more immediate ones."

After pausing the answers of several other people, Li Shouli came up with the answer: "Perhaps it is because the territory is too large and the control cannot keep up... In this case, if there are many bad policies, it will lead to chaos in the world."

Such an answer surprised Li Yuechen, she nodded slightly: "That's right! This is the main reason!"

In fact, Li Yuechen wasn't sure if it was true. He only remembered that the teacher probably said something in his junior high school history class, but it had been so long, how could he remember it so clearly.

"Then back to our question now, the reason is the same." Li Yuechen said with a smile, "We can indeed say that the world is invincible now, but we are fighting everywhere, and the territory is too large, and it is difficult to control. Let alone, over the years, whether it is There are quite a few rebel forces in Turkic or Lingnan, right?"

Li Linghui nodded: "So Auntie, do our troops only deploy when the enemy country actively provokes?"

"It is true most of the time, but the exchanges between countries are always very complicated. A weak country has no diplomacy." Li Yuechen thought for a while, "We need to look at the specific situation. I only hope that we will never invade other countries, but in the face of In the event of invasion, there is enough power to defend yourself!"

Listening to her words, the children nodded in confusion. Maybe they still don't understand, but they have an idea.

"Okay, let's stop here for today." Li Yuechen stood up, "You guys also go to rest after class."

……

Wang Wuqiong went to Qingzhou, and it was already the end of November when he came back.

When I went there, I still wore ordinary clothes, but when I came back, I had already put on a thick cloak.

As soon as she came back, she immediately came to Li Yuechen's office to say hello.

Li Yuechen waved his hand: "Okay, just came back, let's sit down and drink some hot tea. How is the situation in Qingzhou?"

"The people who participated in the salt collection were beheaded and their property was confiscated. Among the wives, concubines and children, all the participants were acquitted and released!" Wang Wuqiong replied, "My subordinates personally watched it."

"Heh... Actually, it's not necessary. Jiang Zheng'an definitely didn't have the guts to fool me." Li Yuechen smiled, "How does the temperature in Qingzhou compare with this place?"

"When my subordinate came back, it was already snowing, and I wanted to come here soon." Wang Wuqiong replied, "In addition, Lai Junchen collected about [-] catties of green vitriol and other things that His Highness asked for, and this subordinate has already brought them back. .”

This news made Li Yuechen a little happy. With this, let's try to make hydrogen first.

If she can successfully surpass the hydrogen, she is sure to get the airship out within a few years.

The only problem might be the cost.

The oxygen bags are all made of cowhide as the main material. Even if there are cows offered by the Turkic side in recent years, and she has opened a farm herself, the cost is still terribly high.

Wanting to make an airship is almost equivalent to building a Shangyang Palace.

Of course, the benefits are huge. The biggest difference between an airship and an airplane is the flight time.

The voyage of an airplane is calculated in hours, but the voyage time of an airship is calculated in days. If the weather conditions permit, it is no problem to fly for several days and nights.

Moreover, airships can travel farther than hot air balloons, and it is not impossible to fly directly from Qingdao to Dongdu.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in Li Yuechen's mind.

After a few years, the army training here in Qingdao is over, can I go back by airship?
"Well, let's put it on the logistics side first." Li Yuechen nodded, "Xiaohe, go tell the people in the engineering institute and ask them to make a big bag for me..."

"Yes!" Xiao He agreed.

……

Li Yuechen didn't continue to pay attention to the affairs in Qingzhou. In her opinion, it was enough to get rid of those who violated the law.

Now it's December, and she will take advantage of this time to arrange things for the New Year.

First, I calculated the allowances of the soldiers. Soldiers in this era must be given a few days off to go back to see the Chinese New Year, and when they go home, they must have money in their hands.

Fortunately, this system has been implemented in Qianniuwei for a long time, so it is enough to copy it completely.

In fact, only when the rank is above the rank of non-commissioned officer will there be military pay.Now these private soldiers are not paid salaries, but allowances.

Although not much, it was enough for them to go home and tear a few feet of new cloth for their families, make some new clothes, buy some food, and even buy some wine to quench their thirst.

In fact, even if the soldiers don't pay their wages, someone will rush to come, and the food and accommodation alone are enough to make people work hard to stay.

At first Li Yuechen thought about it too, but it was unrealistic. A mature system would definitely not leave such loopholes.

Of course, it is impossible to have all the Chinese New Year holidays in the military camp, and they still have to be staggered. Those who go back for the Chinese New Year this year will stay next year.

After arranging all the matters for the Chinese New Year, it was already December [-]th. The soldiers returning home from the holiday this year tidied up their pure white military uniforms and walked out of the dormitory neatly.

Li Yuechen borrowed from the future army. The uniform of the navy is pure white, which can have a certain hiding effect when standing in the snow.

……

There was a snowfall two days ago, and the entire camp was basically covered with snow.

After the snow stopped, the main road was immediately cleared, and other places were still covered in silver.

Today's Li Yuechen got up early to go to the beach to practice. After the practice, he saw the soldiers returning home from the holiday lined up and walked out of the barracks in an orderly manner. They did not relax their restraint because of the holiday.

It should have been a pretty good scene, but Li Yuechen immediately pulled his face down after seeing it.

Seeing Li Yuechen returning with Fang Tian's painted halberd, the soldiers saluted and greeted him one after another.

But Li Yuechen raised his hand and said, "Everyone go back first, gather on the training ground!" As he spoke, he entered the camp with his Fang Tian painting halberd.

The soldiers were a little confused. They didn't know what was going on all of a sudden. Why did they let them go back when they were on vacation.

However, since it was His Royal Highness's order, the soldiers immediately carried it out and trotted all the way back to the training ground to assemble, waiting for the next order.

Li Yuechen carried his Fang Tian painting halberd to the podium, looked at the neat formation below, turned his head and said, "Where's Geng Yunqiang?"

A soldier immediately saluted: "Report, I will call right away."

Then he turned and left, trotting all the way to tell Geng Yunqiang to come over quickly.

Geng Yunqiang who received the news was still a little strange. Just now he heard a soldier come over and say that His Highness is on the training ground, and he was asked to come over, and his face was obviously in a bad mood.

He still looked puzzled, he hadn't done anything recently, did he make a mistake?
However, he hasn't come here yet. When he saw the neat white square team on the training ground, he raised his hand and slapped himself on the forehead. This was really careless!
He immediately trotted all the way to the podium, raised his hand and said, "Your Highness!"

Li Yuechen lowered his head slightly, and asked with a bad expression: "Do you know why I called you here?"

"I know! It's my subordinate's negligence, please punish me!" Geng Yunqiang bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Go and run thirty laps for me! Go back and write a review!" Li Yuechen growled.

"Yes!" Geng Yunqiang agreed, and immediately raised his legs and ran around the training ground.

Then Li Yuechen yelled: "Everyone has it! Go back and change into casual clothes before leaving!"

After speaking, he turned and left without saying a word of nonsense.

The soldiers on the training ground were a little confused for a while, why do they still wear casual clothes when they go home from vacation?

But now that the order came down, they obediently went back to change their clothes.

At this time, I happened to see a few officers from Qianniuwei, and a group of recruits immediately surrounded them and asked why.

After hearing the cause and effect of the incident, and looking at Geng Yunqiang who was running around on the playground, several officers immediately covered their faces helplessly: "Speaking of which, it seems that this matter has indeed not been notified... I forgot it for a while. Bar."

A soldier asked: "Zhang Pai, why don't you let me go back in military uniform?"

"Don't you understand military discipline?" Platoon Leader Zhang turned his head and asked, "Isn't it embarrassing His Highness to wear a military uniform and go to brothels with friends? Or do you want to use this military uniform to go to teahouses and restaurants without paying?"

"How dare, how dare..." The soldiers on the opposite side waved their hands back again and again, "Even if I go back, I will definitely obey the discipline!"

"That's the best!" Zhang Pai nodded, "If His Highness loses you, you will be dealt with by military law!"

The other soldiers quickly agreed, and then hurried back to the dormitory to change their clothes.
