Great Tang princess

Chapter 455 About Winter Vegetables
In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuechen had just woken up and was washing his face in the yard, when the people from the engineering institute came over and said that the work was done.

And she has taken it to the shipyard to try it according to her requirements, and there is no problem.

Li Yuechen agreed, and after breakfast, he brought the children and students from the military academy to the shipyard.

The princess inspected, and the workers in the shipyard were still working according to the usual rhythm, and today they finally used roller skating sets.

Li Yuechen stood below and explained to them: "Roller skating is divided into fixed pulleys and movable pulleys. The advantage is that it saves us a lot of effort, and one person can move such a heavy object..."

As she spoke, she kicked the bundle of planks beside her with her foot.

A child couldn't help but said: "Even if there is no such thing, my aunt can handle it, right?"

"Eh..." Li Yuechen couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "I can, but not everyone has my strength, right? Normally, tools are needed to carry heavy objects. "

"Okay, let's continue. Roller skating is divided into fixed pulleys and movable pulleys..."

While explaining, Li Yuechen asked the workers next to him to take down the hook and install it on the rope binding the wooden boards, and instructed the people on it to start pulling up.

This set of roller skates here has a total of three roller skates. In theory, as long as the cargo is less than half a ton, it can be easily pulled up by one person.

Sure enough, with her explanation, the iron chain was gradually straightened, driving the bundle of wooden planks below to slowly rise.

The children looked up, and the person holding the iron chain didn't seem to be feeling too much effort, at least judging from his expression, he should be relatively relaxed.

After pulling a large bundle of planks onto the deck, the worker was called down by Li Yuechen.

Facing the princess and a group of royal children, the worker had a cautious expression on his face, and subconsciously took two steps back after saluting.

"Did it take a lot of effort to pull the wood just now?" Li Yuechen asked.

"It doesn't take much effort to go back to Your Highness. It can't be said that it is as light as nothing, but it does feel very labor-saving." The worker replied very respectfully, "This thing is really powerful!"

Li Yuechen nodded: "Well, all of you, come and give it a try!"

Theories alone are not enough. If possible, let them practice as much as possible, so that they can understand more.

So a group of royal children and military school students lined up to act as workers one by one, standing on it to experience the thrill of a strongman for themselves.

It has to be said that Li Yuechen's teaching method is still very effective. In one morning, everyone finished such a simple physics class in a mood of curiosity and anticipation.

……

After the class, Li Yuechen threw the design drawing of the iron gourd to the engineering institute and asked them to think about it.

However, this thing is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and I am afraid that even if it is made, it will not be until next year.

Li Yuechen wasn't in a hurry. It would be very troublesome to try to ignite the fire of science by himself. This was already expected.

On the contrary, the children all looked unsatisfied, and after eating, they still gathered around Li Yuechen to let her talk about more things.

Li Yuechen was also very pleased to see that they were thirsty for knowledge, and told them some scientific knowledge, but a large part of them cannot be tested now, which is a pity.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen couldn't help thinking about electricity. If there is electricity in this era...

She has considered this problem many years ago, but has never implemented it. There is mainly one biggest problem that bothers her, the battery!

Just talking about power generation in this era, although Li Yuechen is not sure, but at least he has an idea, or a direction, as long as there are magnets, it should be possible to generate hydroelectric power by the river.

But the problem is that she doesn't know how to make batteries. It's not that she is unsure, but that she has no direction or ideas at all. She really doesn't know anything about this.

If there is no storage battery, even if a power generation device is built, it can only do very simple things, and there are restrictions on the location.Unless there's a facility that doesn't need to be moved...

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen was taken aback for a moment, and thought of a thing that could be realized in this day and age—the telegram!
Of course, it is impossible to make a telegram that can cover the whole country now, but if a wire can be erected between Chang'an and Dongdu...

Among other things, if this thing can be done, then Chang'an and Dongdu can be firmly controlled. As long as these two places are not chaotic, they can then control the whole country!
In this era of instant messaging, it is a proper dimensionality reduction blow!If this can be achieved, at least if there is something going on between the two capitals, they will be able to know immediately and respond as quickly as possible!

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen couldn't help laughing.

A group of royal children around her saw that she suddenly laughed, and they all looked at each other, not knowing why she was laughing suddenly.

Li Longji, who was only five years old, suddenly ran over and shook her knee: "Why is my aunt laughing?"

"I just thought of something happy." Li Yuechen raised his hand and touched his head, "If there is a chance in the future, maybe you can see something novel!"

It's a pity that this matter can only be thought about at present, and it can't start immediately. There are still too many conditions that are lacking.

Now that the country has not completely stabilized, launching such a large project rashly may give potential enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was already three months later.

During these three months, the salt farms produced a large amount of refined salt every day, most of which were shipped to Dongdu, and the rest were sent to nearby states and counties.

In addition, not far from the barracks, the canning factory has also been built. It is already September, and all kinds of fruits are already on the market.

Production started immediately on the day the cannery was completed, and the workers had already been trained and started working immediately.

On the seventh day of September, Lu Zhenghao also came over and followed Li Yuechen to inspect the project.

Looking at the assembly line operations for people, I couldn't help but be amazed in my heart. The efficiency is really terrible, and I have already begun to calculate the profit in my heart.

Li Yuechen walked in the front of the crowd, and the others took the initiative to lean back halfway and listened carefully to her explanation.

Although Lu Zhenghao was responsible for the investment in the factory and the salaries of the workers, Li Yuechen was basically responsible for personnel training and other things.

Therefore, they don't know many things in this factory, and they need Li Yuechen to explain them clearly.

"All the workers only know the process they are responsible for, so they can keep it secret to the greatest extent, but you can't completely count on this..." Li Yuechen said as he walked forward, "I usually conduct militarized management of these workers. Keep them safe, and at the same time keep the formula as secret as possible..."

Lu Zhenghao followed beside him with an admiration on his face: "Your Highness is still considerate..."

The others also nodded and followed suit, among other things, their flattering skills are getting better and better.

After inspecting the factory, Li Yuechen took them to eat together, and at the same time figured out whether to train two more cooks to open a restaurant nearby in the future.

Otherwise, the cafeterias in the barracks that are being built now will almost become hotels, which will be inconvenient after all.

……

Two days later, Lu Zhenghao took away the first batch of canned food, thinking that Li Yuechen had also started to make money.

With money in hand, naturally I can't help but want to inflate it.

Within a few days, Li Yuechen called the officers and held a meeting.

"You guys also know that vegetables don't grow in winter. I plan to open a vegetable field here to experiment and try to grow vegetables in winter. In this way, soldiers can also match meat and vegetables in winter..."

"Your Highness is wise!" A group of officers naturally had no objection and shouted 666 one after another.

Now in winter there is only meat, or cabbage, basically nothing else.Although this kind of life is already very good, but now the princess wants to improve the treatment, they naturally agree with it.

Only Geng Yunqiang was curious about this: "Your Highness, can we grow vegetables this winter?"

"So you have to take someone back and bring me a few glazers from the Engineering Academy!" Li Yuechen nodded.

The academicians of the Academy of Engineering are all craftsmen, and it is more dangerous to travel far, and the soldiers still need to protect them along the way.

"In addition, we need to build a glazed factory here, so that they can invest immediately after they come here. Recently..." Li Yuechen began to talk about his order distribution.

The idea of ​​building a vegetable greenhouse has actually been around for a long time, but because she can't make transparent plastic sheets these days, and she is busy with other things, she has never had time.

Later, she decided to make a glass greenhouse. She had seen this thing in the countryside before, and she was quite sure.

But glass is very expensive, and it has never been implemented in time.

It's different now, Lu Zhenghao's canned food is starting to sell, and Li Yuechen will soon have money in his hands again. Now that he is making a glass greenhouse, there is no such great pressure.

As long as the glass greenhouse is successfully made, more vegetables can be grown in the winter for sale in the future, and there will be a lot of income at that time.

In fact, the royal family also has winter vegetables, but they are grown in hot springs, and the yield is very low, so they cannot be sold in large quantities.

Geng Yunqiang didn't know what Liulijiang had to do with winter vegetables, so he didn't ask much, and got up to accept the order: "Yes! The subordinates will set off tomorrow!"

"Yeah!" Li Yuechen nodded, "I'm going to write some letters in the afternoon, and you can take them back for me when you go back!"

"Yes!"

After finishing this matter, Li Yuechen immediately returned to the office and started writing letters to his family.

Because there are too many people to write, I stayed in the office for a whole afternoon.

And Geng Yunqiang went back and started roll call, and selected the person who went back with him to pick up people this time.

The soldiers who were pointed out immediately went back to inform their comrades in arms, and those who wanted to bring letters back to Dongdu should hurry up. There is no such shop after this village.

The soldiers also became busy one after another, and began to write letters to their families.

Due to the popularization of education in the army, all the soldiers can read and write, and immediately become busy.
