Great Tang princess

It took a day to fly back to Qingdao, and it was already night after landing.

The children cheered and ran towards the sea. They hadn't seen the sea for a whole winter vacation. Now that they saw it again, they felt much better.

Li Yuechen didn't stop him either, but asked the guards to follow, told them not to go into the water, be careful of the wind and cold, and then returned to his office.

Xiao He quickly brewed a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Your Highness, warm up your body, after flying for a day, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Well, how's the year going?" Li Yuechen smiled and sat down.

"It's good here, but His Highness is no longer here, and I feel a little lonely." Xiao He replied with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, then Wang Wuqiong hurried over, entered the door and hurriedly said: "Happy New Year, Your Highness!"

She didn't go back this year, so the New Year's greeting came a little late.

"Okay!" Li Yuechen agreed, "Speaking of it, speaking of it, the awarding ceremony here will be held in a few days, so you should also prepare."

This time, Wang Wuqiong also put in a lot of effort, so he should be promoted.

Now Wang Wuqiong is not only Li Yuechen's guard, but also responsible for training the women's guards. He has the rank of captain. This time he will go out with him, so he can be given a major.

In addition, most of the guards around him are second- and third-level non-commissioned officers, and they can also be promoted to a higher level.

There is also the company in charge of the Lu family's counter-insurgency incident, and the reconnaissance company that followed to the northeast. Those who should be promoted must be promoted.

Li Yuechen planned to reward meritorious service and hold a title ceremony after the post-war report came out in a few days.

Xiao He took out a letter: "Your Highness, this is a letter sent by Lu Zhenghao. It arrived three days ago."

Open it and take a look, it probably means that he has completely controlled the Lu family, and now he has become the new direct descendant of the Lu family. In the future, he will follow His Highness's order, develop business with peace of mind, and never touch other things...

It's just that a question was raised in the letter, if we can't continue to feed the dead in the future, how can we ensure the safety of the goods when there are unexpected situations such as bandits on the commercial road?
Seeing this question, Li Yuechen couldn't help thinking, this is indeed a question.

In fact, the law and order at this time is not bad, but it is only good. The vicinity of Chang'an Dongdu is not bad, and there are still many criminal gangs such as bandits and thieves in remote areas.

The Lu family has transformed into a commercial family. If there is no security force, the safety of the goods during the business process cannot be guaranteed.

After thinking about it all night, Li Yuechen wrote back to him the next day, allowing him to recruit parts. The status of a dead man is the same as that of a slave. His life does not belong to him, but to his master, and he has no human rights.

The status of the trilogy is slightly higher, it is not considered a benefactor, but it is not considered a slave, it is in between, and the recruitment of the trilogy requires wages.

Li Yuechen intends to improve the status of the trilogy, give them the status of benefactors, and slowly develop as a bodyguard industry.

And in the future, retired soldiers can have a good place to go. The current model of lifelong service cannot be maintained forever, and it must be changed.

But before making any changes, one should first consider the sources of livelihood of the soldiers after retiring. Otherwise, these educated and knowledgeable soldiers are likely to cause many accidents when they are placed in the society.

At present, Li Yuechen's army adopts a lifelong service system, but she plans to change it in the next few years and let some soldiers retire after 40 years old.

After all, at this age, energy and physical strength have begun to gradually decline, and it is not suitable to continue to be active as a front-line soldier.

But they still have extremely high combat effectiveness after retiring, so they can work as bodyguards or guards, and their salary must be much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

There are also some who can become traffic policemen after perfecting the traffic law to ensure their source of income. If possible, they can be allocated land for them to grow crops.

It is conceivable that because the army can eat well and eat well, coupled with scientific exercise, as long as most soldiers do not die on the battlefield, their average life expectancy will definitely be longer than that of ordinary people.

With the increase of food production in the future, as long as there is no more famine in the country, it should be possible to increase the average life expectancy of the country.

I remember hearing from my history teacher that the average life expectancy of emperors in subsequent dynasties increased a lot. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, most emperors lived a long life.

If it can gradually make the people of the whole country live longer, that would be a good thing.

……

After replying to Lu Zhenghao, the next day was the awarding ceremony. Wang Wuqiong's major rank was worn by Li Yuechen himself.

All the soldiers who saw this scene felt a little excited in their hearts, wondering if they would have a chance to be awarded the title by the princess herself one day.

The awarding ceremony here is relatively large, and the awarding of the reconnaissance company and other companies that participated in the battle took a whole morning to complete.

In the afternoon, Li Yuechen came to the Academy of Engineering and began to discuss with the academicians about the production of hand-operated car windows.

It is worth mentioning that before coming here, the engineering institute in Dongdu had already asked the engineering institute in Dongdu to study the way of making candles at a lower cost. Here are some high-tech talents, which are more suitable for researching things like machinery.

Li Yuechen didn't know the specific principle of the hand-operated window, but he just told the craftsmen his requirements. Anyway, the four-wheeled carriage here is also being produced, so he can take advantage of the situation to study it. If he can do it, he can immediately on equipment.

This kind of carriage with hand-cranked windows is not expensive to sell more than a dozen pieces, right?

At the same time, let them study whether they can make a vacuum-tight structure, that is, glue two glass plates together with fish glue, and then put them into the water to see if there is any air leakage.

It's better to wait a few years to see if it works.

The biggest feature of daguerreotype photography is that there is no negative film, and the image will be displayed directly on the copper plate. However, if the copper plate is in contact with the air for a long time, the image will easily change, so it must be stored in a vacuum.

If it is well preserved, it will not be a problem to put it for hundreds of years.

Only by solving this problem first, can Li Yuechen invest in daguerreotype photography. After all, the cost is high, and the risk of failure should be minimized.

Then she asked the shipyard to prepare some wood for her. She wanted to make skis and bring them to the Northeast when the time came.

Regarding snowboards, during the Chinese New Year period, Li Yuechen also thought about whether to use single boards or double boards. After many considerations, he finally decided to use double boards.

The two types of skis were not developed from each other, but are completely different systems.

The biggest difference is that the skis are easy to start, but become more difficult as you go backwards.It is difficult to get started on the veneer, but the further you go, the faster you will improve.

After putting on the skis, it is easy to stand up, and you can perform simple slides with a little training.But veneer, how to stand firmly is a big problem.

It has to be admitted that the damage to the knees of double boards is greater than that of single boards. From a long-term perspective, it seems that single boards should be chosen.

In fact, Li Yuechen herself didn't care, she was proficient in both single and double boards, but considering that they were used by the army, she finally chose double boards.

Because the veneer is essentially a toy, it is the product of extreme sports.Handsome is handsome, but it also has high requirements on the snow track. The most important thing is that it can only slide from high to low.

Double boards are different. Due to various reasons such as ski poles, double boards can slide on flat ground and even go uphill.

However, when the army goes out to perform tasks, it is impossible to always go downhill. Relatively speaking, most of the time it is mainly on flat ground and uphill.

Therefore, after many considerations, the soldiers were definitely allowed to learn skiing in the end.

After all, they are the army, not athletes, so they don't need to think about tricks.

……

After the matter here is settled, the next attention is on the shipyard.

Li Yuechen's idea is to build a few more ships as soon as possible, which can form a fleet for the navy, and then all coastal areas of the country can be relatively protected.

As for the current Baidizi, when there are more ships in the future, a group of people can be formed to go to the Americas to find crops such as potatoes and corn.

The year was over, and everything was on the right track. The military academy officially started, and Li Shouli and the others began frantically tutoring the courses that were dropped in the first semester.

But because they have been on the battlefield in person, they learned very quickly in teaching and learning. Many theories cannot be understood by others, but they feel extremely relaxed.

After February [-] passed, the fishermen were also preparing to go fishing in the sea. Li Yuechen was thinking, should he recruit some experienced fishermen into the army in the future to explain the knowledge of the sea?

For example, floating on the sea, how to distinguish a storm, how to judge the next climate by the height of the waves, etc...

At present, this knowledge is passed down from generation to generation among fishermen in the form of experience, and Li Yuechen thinks that it should be possible to organize it into a book and promote it among the navy in the future.

The current navy may not be able to understand the sea as well as these experienced fishermen. After all, they specialize in art, and they should be able to learn a lot of useful things from these veteran fishermen.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen asked Geng Yunqiang to think about this matter. Now the fishing village near the navy is already very large. At that time, we can conduct a visit or something to see if there are any suitable people who can be absorbed into the army and raise future generations. You can also enter the military academy to study.

After this matter was settled, Li Yuechen originally thought that he would just wait a few months and go to the Northeast, but suddenly a hang glider flew over the next day, bringing a letter from Shangguan Wan'er.

The letter said that this year's spring is about to start, but for some unknown reason, all the students abstained from voting, saying that collecting taxes from the aristocratic family is not a Ming government, and asking the court to take back the order...Now the emperor has murderous intentions, and he can't help but want to kill people, so she wrote Come here and let Li Yuechen give me an idea.

Seeing this letter, Li Yuechen frowned slightly. Judging from the letter, it seems that this matter is not that simple.

Not all the students are from aristocratic backgrounds. It is understandable that they abstained in protest, but all the students... why do poor students join in the fun?
