Great Tang princess

Chapter 459 The option to expand the territory
Let's not talk about the things in Dongdu, Li Yuechen should be busy or continue to be busy.

In the classroom of the military academy, Li Yuechen stood on the podium to give lessons to future officers as usual.

"You have also read the book of war. You should understand that the army in the future must become simpler and more efficient. It mainly focuses on three-dimensional attack and defense, and joint operations..."

I don't know if it's because of getting older, but Li Yuechen on the podium is more intellectual than usual. In the future, it is the kind of temperament that many students who are new to love have a crush on.

But here, after all, there are all kinds of legends shrouding her body, and the students have more of a sense of admiration for her.

She was still wearing a bright red round-neck gown, and the ponytail at the back of her head dangled with the swing of her body, always attracting the attention of many people.

But fortunately, people in this era know that the opportunity to learn is hard to come by. When they find that their minds are distracted, they often force themselves back immediately and take notes seriously.

Now that the pencil has been made, the writing speed is much faster, and I can basically keep up with it.

It's just that in this case, don't expect the handwriting to look good. To put it bluntly, it's not bad if you can recognize it yourself.

Fortunately, some students who are more motivated will re-record and sort out afterward, which can be regarded as a place that makes Li Yuechen more gratified.

……

The weather in October is already very cold. If we count according to the future calendar, it is time to turn on the heating.

Fortunately, there are kangs in the fishing village and fireplaces in the barracks, so there is no need to worry about freezing to death.

Recently, Li Yuechen sent people to the nearby fishing village to check the kang, and at the same time told them some safety rules and the like, trying to ensure the villagers' living problems.

Today's fishermen save the money they used to buy for salt, so they can buy some thick clothes for themselves, so they don't have to seal their boats as soon as the weather cools down, and they can stay at sea for a longer time.

After arranging the affairs of the fishermen, Li Yuechen continued to think about the issue of airships and power generation while arranging the people from the engineering institute to build the glass factory quickly.

Hydrogen can be obtained now, but the problem is that the cost is too high, and the production cycle is very long. It is estimated that it will take at least several years to obtain it.

The most important thing is that with the current level of technology, even if the airship is manufactured, it may be able to fly long distances, but it cannot fly fast.

From Li Yuechen's own understanding, even if the production is successful, the estimated maximum speed is only about [-] kilometers per hour, not much faster than a horse.

The only advantage is that it has a large carrying capacity and can fly day and night.

As for generating electricity... I vaguely remember that the physics teacher said that as long as there is a magnet, generating electricity is very simple.

But the problem is, if my memory is correct, the magnetite seems to be in Anshan, right?

While thinking about it, Li Yuechen took out the map and looked at it. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was near Yingzhou or the future Yingzhou.

Thanks to his experience as an extreme athlete, Li Yuechen has traveled almost all over the country. Anyway, sponsors pay for it, which is equivalent to traveling at public expense.

Every time she goes to a place, she usually checks the local customs and customs, so she knows that Anshan has magnetite, and the steel industry is also very developed.

But there is a new problem here - what about security?
Although that place is still considered the territory of the country, it is not far from the outside of the pass, and the possibility of turmoil is very high.

Most of the people outside the pass are Mohe people, but there are also tribes such as Shiwei, Limo, Tieli, and Wuluohu... It can be described as turbulent.

The current national border... is about in the future Changchun, not very far from Yingzhou.

If you want to send people to mine magnetite at this time, you may face the threat of war.

To solve this problem, the only way is to continue to push the national border, not to mention to Harbin, at least push it to the line between Songyuan and Mudanjiang, preferably with the Datong River.

If it can be done, you can send people to mine with confidence.

However, before he could get excited in the future, Li Yuechen's head drooped again.

It's really a good idea. It's easy to fight. The problem is how to maintain it after the fight?There must be troops stationed on the border. Now Qianniuwei is doing the task of defending the capital, and the navy can't get away here...

Is it possible to raise an army at the border in the future?But the problem is that there is no money now!
After sighing helplessly, Li Yuechen also had to admit that this matter would at least have to wait until after the tax reform. It is still too early.

In fact, if possible, Li Yuechen didn't even think about fighting the Northeast in his lifetime. He originally thought that he would leave it to future generations to do it.

The eastern region is too big, and even if it is conquered now, it may not be able to control it. There are only inputs and no outputs.

And now compared to more than a thousand years later, it is estimated that the Daxing'an Mountains will be much larger. It is basically a virgin forest, and it is too difficult to develop.

But there is no way, things are here now, so now in the plan for the rest of my life, in addition to Turks and Tubo, now I have added another place.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen felt dizzy for a while, and could only sigh that there was a long way to go, and then continued to do his own thing.

……

Another month passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the end of November.

Li Yuechen also received the news that Geng Yunqiang should be back in two or three days.

It just so happens that the glass workshop is almost finished, so let’s start working when we come back. We should be able to make the glass greenhouse before the harvest season next year.

But there is still the same problem, the cost is too high, and there is no way to promote it.

The current glass can only be formed in one piece, because it is not easy to cut.

Everyone knows that glass knives are made of diamond slag, and diamonds are also difficult to get these days.

In fact, diamonds are not unique to Africa. Diamonds are also produced in this land, but the scale and output are very small.

But for things like minerals, I don’t know if the gap of 1000 years has formed, but when looking for magnetite in the future, you can consider looking for it by the way.

Because Liaoning also has diamond mines, they can stop by to find out if there are any natural diamonds.

If glass knives can be made, it should reduce the cost more or less.

Anyway, in this day and age, diamonds have no real value, and there is no need to speculate on the concept of luxury goods.

……

After a few days, Geng Yunqiang finally came back with a group of glazers, and Li Yuechen greeted him personally at the gate of the barracks.

A group of soldiers in white uniforms surrounded several carriages and rode on horseback to the gate of the barracks with their heads held high and their chests held high.

Seeing Li Yuechen greeted her at the door, the soldiers got off their horses one after another, and the craftsmen in the carriage also got out, came to her quickly, and saluted her with a standard military salute.

Geng Yunqiang stood at the front and saluted Li Yuechen: "Your Highness!"

"I'm back!" Li Yuechen greeted with a smile, "The task is well completed, I will welcome you tonight!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, this time the soldiers also..."

Li Yuechen nodded to express his understanding, and raised his hand to announce: "Tomorrow is a holiday, no training, no inspection of internal affairs!"

Hearing this sentence, the soldiers cheered in unison: "Woohoo——"

Then she came to the group of glazed craftsmen again, and gave a speech to welcome them, and told them to work hard in the future. If the matter is done, I will definitely give them great credit...

In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't talk about these scenes. Now, no one under her is not working hard.

Not only because of admiration or gratitude to the princess, but they also knew in their hearts that this job is not good enough. If they are driven away, they will not find a second job with such a good salary.

In addition, the princess is a princess after all, and besides being approachable, their status is there, so they naturally have to work hard.

After delivering his speech, Li Yuechen announced the dissolution, and then arranged for someone to take the craftsmen to the prepared dormitory.

Geng Yunqiang took out a thick stack of letters from the backpack hanging on the saddle: "This is a reply to His Highness."

"Yeah!" Li Yuechen nodded and took it, and asked Xiao He to take it back first, and then said: "Okay, go back and wash up, I will welcome you tonight!"

"Yes!" Geng Yunqiang agreed, but he didn't leave immediately, but continued, "His Royal Highness, when I came back, I found that there seemed to be bandits entrenched in the mountains and forests outside Qingzhou."

"Bandits?" Li Yuechen was a little puzzled. Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the country's grain production has increased, why are there still bandits?
After all, most robbers and bandits do this because they can't survive, and they have no choice but to make a living.

"Well... In a few days, you will take someone to investigate and see the specific situation!" Li Yuechen issued an order. In any case, it is not a good thing to have bandits near the official road.

Geng Yunqiang immediately agreed, and then went back to the dormitory to change clothes and wash.

On the other hand, Li Yuechen went back to the office alone, opened the letters from home, and read them one by one.

Both Li Xian and Li Dan said that they are living a good life now, but sometimes it is really annoying when their mother nagging... Li Yuechen wanted to laugh when he saw it.

A few years ago, they would never have dared to speak ill of their mother behind their backs. Now that they dare to complain like this, it is enough to show that the family relationship is indeed very good.

The second elder brother, Li Xian, was still the same, telling himself to save money and not to waste money... Just looking at the letter, Li Yuechen could imagine that he must have known the situation with Geng Yunqiang.

It's a pity, second brother, you are still a little tender, Lao Geng is my man after all, how could he tell you the truth... Li Yuechen secretly laughed.

The elder sister and sister-in-law are different here. Instead, they are most concerned about physical problems, and they basically tell her to take care of her health.

Especially when they also heard that it was windy at the beach, they told her not to catch a cold or something.

Seeing such concern, Li Yuechen also smiled happily, and then continued to read his mother's letter.

　This chapter is from yesterday.

　　Happy Holidays to all the soldiers in the country!
