Great Tang princess

Chapter 451 The Problem of Hainan

The children of the royal family are of different ages, so only Li Yuechen's ideological and moral courses will be gathered together, and other courses are taught separately according to different age groups and backgrounds.

In a class some time ago, Li Yuechen told them about the Jin Dynasty, and asked in class: "You will know why the Jin Dynasty died?"

The oldest brothers Li Shouyi and Li Shouli among the children of the royal family, as well as the two sisters Li Linghui and Li Shu, were not more than three years apart in age, so they learned higher-level knowledge.

Li Shouyi raised his hand and asked, "Is it because of killing the emperor? This kind of seed was planted from the beginning!"

Since ancient times, this land has disliked emperor killers, even fatuous emperors.

This is also the reason why the rebels of the past dynasties would not order to kill the previous emperor. Once they did something to kill the emperor, it would be a loss of righteousness, and if it was not done, the whole world would take advantage of the situation to rebel.

However, the Jin Dynasty was different. Not only did the emperor be slaughtered, but it was also broadcast live on the street. It can be said that tradition was not taken seriously at all.

"Maybe this is one aspect, but it's not all." Li Yuechen nodded slightly, and then said, "Actually, as long as there is enough force, any customs, beliefs, systems...all can be solved! But if there is an internal If there’s a problem, that’s the big deal.”

At their age, Li Yuechen thought it was time to tell them about his purpose.

The purpose of setting up the school is to prevent the future members of the royal family from killing each other. At their age, it is time to learn about this aspect.

"What I want to teach you today is that the country... To be precise, it is the bottom line that the royal family should stick to!" Li Yuechen had a serious expression, and officially started the class.

When I first came to this era, I thought that the internal struggles in the Tang Dynasty were already very serious, but after studying history, I feel that it is still a bit insignificant compared with the Jin Dynasty.

Especially when the Jin Dynasty was first established, all kinds of fathers, sons, filial piety, brothers, friends, respect, uncles and nephews were harmonious, which almost shattered Li Yuechen's three views.

The meaning of this lesson is to explain the disadvantages of royal infighting through the Jin Dynasty, and then specifically draw out the problems of the early Tang Dynasty.

After all, the education that the children of the royal family should receive is different from that of ordinary people, especially in politics, which will become their compulsory courses in the future.

Only by understanding it thoroughly can they understand the disadvantages and avoid being used by outsiders in the future to make the court a mess.

In fact, in Li Yuechen's view, the so-called stupidity of many emperors in history was due to lack of knowledge in this area, which led to many tragedies.

But if we can let them understand the doorway from an early age, coupled with the training in the military academy in the future, they will not be easy to be used when they grow up and occupy high positions in the future.

To put it bluntly, at that point, it is too difficult to use it.

Many people don't like an emperor who is too shrewd, because it will make his subordinates feel uncomfortable.

And what Li Yuechen has to do is to make the royal family's children smarter.Just like what my father said when he was still alive, no matter how much we fight, the world is still the world of the Li family.

Even if there is internal fighting, it cannot be easily used or exploited by outsiders.

What's more, with the future system reform, whether the future royal children are willing to fight is another matter.

Just like the current Li Xian, wouldn't it be nice to be a prince who just eats and waits to die when his life is guaranteed?

Why do you still want to be emperor?Get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, don't thank you for your hard work, and if you don't do it well, you will leave an eternal infamy in the history books. Isn't it cheap?
……

The weather in mid-May is already quite hot. If it was in Dongdu, Li Yuechen would have put on a sleeveless vest long ago.

But here, in order to set an example for the soldiers, they still wear camouflage uniforms or round-neck robes every day, and they are not too unique.

After all, a soldier must look like a soldier, otherwise it will not be a good thing to follow the example.

In the office, Li Yuechen was fanning himself while reading a book, when Xiao He suddenly walked in, holding several salted fish in his hand.

"Your Highness, this is a gift from the nearby fishing village. It is said to be a thank you for His Highness's kindness!" Xiao He said, "I have already tasted it, no problem, do you want to have lunch..."

Since Li Yuechen came here, the life of the villagers in the nearby fishing village has indeed been much easier. In winter, they have made fire kangs for them, and now they have salt, which allows them to make salted fish and sell them in the city, which can increase some income for the family.

Looking at the salted fish in Xiao He's hand, Li Yuechen frowned slightly.

In fact, such things are taboo in the diet of athletes, and it is not a good thing to eat salted fish for a long time.

"I can't, you go and eat." Li Yuechen waved his hand, "By the way, remember to soak it with garlic juice or ginger juice before eating."

Xiao He thought she didn't like food, so she didn't ask any more questions, but just saluted with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

"Well, don't eat too much of this thing, just eat it once in a while." Li Yuechen warned.

After watching Xiao He go out, Li Yuechen put down the brush and sighed.

Salt farms should not have appeared in this era, but since they appeared, it is likely to trigger a series of butterfly effects, for example, it may give birth to a series of carcinogens.

But this is unavoidable, and we cannot stop living because of this, and society will not develop...

I can only hope that future doctors can form a system as soon as possible, and then find a solution.

I am not a god, I can only play the role of an enlightener, able to open the door to technology, but the future is beyond my control, I just hope they can find a way out by themselves.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen couldn't help but shook his head again, picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip.

……

After watching the whole process of drying salt several times, Liu Zihe has already recorded the whole process and showed it to Li Yuechen.

Unfolding the scroll, what I saw was a piece of paper pasted inside, which not only believed to record every step and process of drying the salt, but also drew pictures.

Although talking about the picture may only be understood by him, it is enough to show his serious attitude.

After reading it back and forth several times, Li Yuechen nodded appreciatively: "Very good, there is no problem at all! It is so detailed that it even exceeded my expectation."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment, but I still have a question. After you go back, where does Your Highness think is the best place to build the salt farm?" Liu Zihe asked.

"I should ask you about this matter. Do you have a suitable place?" Li Yuechen asked back.

After all, she has never been to Hainan, so she really doesn't know what Hainan Island looks like in this day and age.

The distance of more than a thousand years is enough for many great changes to occur.

"I want my subordinates to say that Linji County in the northwest is the most suitable..."

"Then I'll listen to you!" Li Yuechen nodded, "I'm not familiar with that side, so you have to figure it out yourself."

Li Yuechen is not familiar with Hainan, so he doesn't know where the Linji County he mentioned is, but since he said it, he must have his own considerations.

Then the two discussed the specific construction of the salt farm.

The people he brought have already learned how to use fired cement, and they are almost ready to lay bricks.

Yantian is essentially a square cement pond, which does not require much skill.

Now the family courtyard of the military region has not been built yet, and they have been building houses there during this period of time, and by the way, they are practicing and learning.

Organize an assessment next month, let them wipe the floor and try to see if it works.

Afterwards, they calculated the cost and construction time. While chatting, Li Yuechen suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked, "Speaking of which, how does the local area prevent typhoons?"

"Typhoon?" Liu Zihe didn't react for a moment.

"It's a particularly strong wind, which usually happens between summer and autumn..." Li Yuechen roughly explained.

Only then did Liu Zihe nod his head: "As your Highness said, the locals call it a hurricane, and it is true that it usually occurs during the transition of summer and autumn..."

After listening to his explanation, Li Yuechen realized that in this era, many people in Hainan have extremely simple houses, and they usually live in caves during the typhoon season.

Because the house is simple, it must collapse after the typhoon, and people will come out to rebuild it.And it doesn't take too much effort to build a house, basically it's just a shed.

Anyway, there is no winter in Hainan in the strict sense. In the first month and February, the temperature is basically above ten degrees. It may be a little cool at night, but it will become hot again during the day.

So ordinary people there would not build their houses too strong, they would be destroyed anyway, as long as they can shade the sun.

As for the rich or the court officials, their houses are of good quality. As long as there is no severe typhoon that occurs once in a century, at most, some tiles will be thrown off, and it can be easily repaired from time to time. .

Fortunately, the winter in Hainan is above ten degrees most of the time, and it is basically impossible for people to freeze to death. Otherwise, I am afraid there will be no one there.

"In this way, you go back this time and see if the house made of that cement can withstand the hurricane..." Li Yuechen ordered, "I don't know if the strength of the bamboo-reinforced concrete will work, so you can try it first. If we can withstand the hurricane, we can build more houses..."

"Yes, I will try it when I get back!" Liu Zihe promised.

Then the two chatted about other miscellaneous things before Liu Zihe turned and left.

Li Yuechen thinks that he should be able to train well, and he will be able to retain a position as an academician in the Academy of Engineering in the future. If one day he can research super food species such as hybrid rice, it will be no problem to be named a prince for such a feat!

Not only should he be made a Duke, but the emperor should also build a temple for him, erect a tablet of longevity, and let all the people worship.And after death, the emperor will personally decree to enshrine the gods!

Of course, all of this is a beautiful fantasy at present, and Li Yuechen also knows that he can't put all his hopes here, he still needs to take it step by step.
