Great Tang princess

After sending Liu Huang and Wu Gou back, Qingdao has entered a peaceful daily life again.

Li Yuechen is thinking about the naval expansion plan in the next few years. His current thinking is that in the future, a few more ships will be stationed in Dengzhou and Dalian to form a sea defense line, and they can even communicate with the north when necessary. The border side is fully linked.

Of course, the prerequisite for realizing this plan is to have a few more large ships. As the aircraft carrier of this era, it is guaranteed to be able to form a flexible defense line on the sea at any time.

Now the work at the shipyard has started, but in order to ensure the quality, I did not urge them, as long as they make sure that they do not touch fish as much as possible.

At the end of March, construction of the bathhouse and the airship take-off and landing field also officially started, at least a super-large warehouse that can usually store airships is required.

But there is a more troublesome point here, that is, in order to ensure its stability, the buildings of this era must put many columns inside, which makes it difficult to make a large enough factory building.

The shipyard can solve this problem by adding beams, but the airship warehouse can't. After all, this thing is too tall, and there is no way to prevent the structure of the shipyard.

In this regard, the Academy of Engineering told Li Yuechen of the difficulties, and wanted to see if the princess could find a relatively good solution.

In the office, a group of bigwigs from the Academy of Engineering sat across from each other, looking at the princess in front of them expectantly.

After listening to their explanation, Li Yuechen took a sip from his teacup, nodded and asked Xiao He to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

In fact, she really has a solution to this problem. Back then, she traveled all over the world and saw ancient architectural structures in many different countries. Although she didn't know much about this aspect, she at least knew it.

In fact, natural disasters such as earthquakes are also prone to occur in Rome, so they invented a vault structure earlier to ensure that the internal space is sufficiently empty and the earthquake resistance of the house can also be guaranteed.

Just like the cave dwellings in the countryside when I was a child, the roof looks like a semicircle.

Li Yuechen explained to them while drawing with a pen: "It's good to make this warehouse into this shape, and there is no need for pillars to support it inside..."

Although the vault structure is not very attractive, it is not low in practicability. There is no need to lay tiles or straw, and it will not accumulate water. There are still many advantages.

What's more, this kind of elongated interior space is indeed suitable as a warehouse for parking airships, and it is more convenient to enter and exit.

The craftsmen looked at each other, feeling puzzled. After all, they had never built such a building before, and no one could guarantee whether it would work.

Of course, Li Yuechen also understood their thoughts, so he waved his hand: "Well, it will be reduced according to a certain ratio. Let's do an experiment first to see if it works!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the craftsmen heard about it, they would do experiments first, it would be easy, just make a model the size of a coffin, and then simulate the situation of wind and rain.

After agreeing, they immediately went to experiment. Now these craftsmen are gradually learning and accepting Li Yuechen's way of thinking. Don't just talk about it if it's okay, just try it out and you'll know.

After seeing off the craftsmen, Li Yuechen looked at the planning map again. Now that the bathhouse has started construction, there is nothing else to keep an eye on for the time being.

Now it's the end of March, the weather is getting warmer every day, summer is coming, and it's almost time to start work on the salt field.

At the same time, Li Yuechen planned to ask the people in the village to use fishing nets to make a game device.

Because he planned to bring the whole family here to play for a few days this summer, Li Yuechen planned to set up a net on the beach and play beach volleyball.

To be honest, Li Yuechen didn't want to be the emperor, nor did he want to be a general, and he didn't even want to have power in his hands. What he did today was just to make the country more stable.

Why make the country stable?For fun!
Li Yuechen himself is a person who likes to play, so when he is busy, he should take some time to enjoy life or have fun.

In fact, at first I thought about taking the whole family to go surfing, but they definitely couldn't do such a difficult activity, let alone my mother's age, it was even more inappropriate.

So I plan to play beach volleyball here, and then I can bring my brothers and sisters to play together.

As for my mother... It's okay to want to exercise, but Li Yuechen's idea is to take her to the boat for fishing.

Fishing is good, you don’t need to jump up and down, you just need to sit, and when you’re tired, you can get up and take a walk on the deck, drinking tea or something. As for the fishing rod, there are servants there anyway, so you don’t have to keep watching.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen began to prepare the utensils.

First of all, we need to prepare a few fishing rods, and let the craftsmen make some parasols and deck chairs, so that we can watch volleyball or rest on the beach at that time.

As for the clothes...

Li Yuechen looked at the bikini design drawn on the paper, and couldn't help nodding slightly. Anyway, when playing volleyball, all the irrelevant personnel should be cleared away, and all the guards around should be replaced by female soldiers. You don't have to worry about getting a cold. issues such as transformation.

To be honest, Li Yuechen is still very satisfied with his figure, and it doesn't matter if he wears some nice clothes.

However, in order to prevent some special situations from happening, it is better to use silk to make a simple sun protection clothing. If it is not possible, it can be worn outside.

In summer, you should wear less, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to cover your whole body with prickly heat, right?

Hanfu is indeed beautiful, but it is too troublesome and cumbersome, especially in summer, it is not a joke to wrap two or three pieces on the body, even if you sit in the room without moving, you will be sweating.

Li Yuechen has never been a person who belittles the past and admires the present, she prefers the feeling of the combination of present and past.

Making the country stable is a career, but only playing is a hobby!

It just so happens that the next days will not be too busy. I have been busy for more than [-] years, so I should take a good rest and have fun.

Afterwards, Li Yuechen made out the design of the cheongsam and sent it to the Ministry of War for them to connect with the Shangyi Bureau to make a few more.

Now the palace already has spinning machines, looms and simple sewing machines, so the efficiency of clothing making is extremely high.

Because the Ministry of War is also responsible for the production of military uniforms and epaulettes, the current Shangyi Bureau usually puts more energy on the Ministry of War than making clothes for the emperor.

It might even be better to say that it is about to become a subordinate organization of the Ministry of War. Li Yuechen is also thinking about splitting it into two and absorbing some tailors and shoemakers into the Ministry of War.

After all, whether it is camouflage uniforms or military boots, they need to continue to evolve in the future, and some talents in this field should be absorbed to consider more advanced functions and lower costs.

Li Yuechen is well aware that every industry is a subject of knowledge. A seemingly simple camouflage uniform will have an extremely powerful starry sky camouflage after years of improvement in the future.

So this idea is indeed very necessary, but it can be considered to split a part of the Shangyi Bureau and put it in the logistics department.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was already May, and there was good news that the military bathhouse had been built.

The current army can supply hot water for a long time. The bottom of the boiler room is completely connected to the bathroom. In summer, as long as the middle baffle is covered and a human blower is equipped at the same time, the hot air will not enter the room.

But if it’s winter, remove the baffle, and there will be a floor heating system in the bathroom, so you don’t have to worry about catching a cold when you stay in it.

At the same time, it is equipped with a cold water area and a hot water area, as well as a sauna room and a gym, which can be said to fully reflect high-end luxury.

There is a pool area and a shower area inside. Needless to say, the pool is not the future one, but ceramic pipes and connected to the reservoir.

As long as you step on the pedal, the baffle at the connection between the pipe and the reservoir will be pulled open, and the water will come out along the pipe and hit the fan blade in front of the pipe. The water flowed into a stream and poured directly on the body.

It can be said that the design is far ahead of the times in every detail.

On the night of the opening, the soldiers who had eaten couldn't wait to rush into the bathhouse with washbasins, all of them howling excitedly like wolves.

There are oil lamps with glass covers hanging from the ceiling everywhere in the bathhouse. As long as you don’t splash it with water, it will basically not go out. You just need to take it down from time to time to add some fuel.

A few days later, the bathhouse on the other side of the village also opened its doors. This is for foreign business, and ordinary people can go in and take a bath for a few copper coins.

In this way, whether it is the people nearby or the soldiers in the barracks, it is better to wash them clean every day, and go out to have a relationship, get married, etc. during the holidays. Wouldn’t it be better?

If there is no accident, these soldiers will have to stay in the army for more than 20 years, but Li Yuechen must consider their major life events, and must let them get married and have children, so as to avoid the problem that the population growth cannot keep up.

So her idea is to let them go to the nearby villages to help with some farm work when they are free. If they are right, they should get married as soon as possible.

Married, with a family and care, will be more courageous in battle.

Now the monthly salary of these soldiers will not be too low. It is not a big problem to raise a wife and two children. After the news gets out, more young girls will naturally be willing to come here to settle down.

Over time, the scale of the village will become larger and larger, and it will gradually become a city.

It's a pity that population growth is not something that can see results within a few years, at least decades, and this kind of thing cannot be rushed.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen couldn't help but feel a little regretful. At this time, she suddenly wanted to live forever, not to enjoy a long life, but simply to see what this country will develop into after 100 years. look.

Seeing her stunned on the chair, Xiao He gently put the brewed tea on the table in front of her, not daring to disturb her, and quietly backed out.

……

Seeing that it was already May, Li Yuechen was also writing to his mother these days, asking her when things could be arranged, and she sent an airship to pick them up.

Wu Zetian was also arranging this matter recently, and explained in the court that she planned to go on a tour and go to Qingdao to have a look.

Such a decision was quickly opposed by the officials, saying that the emperor should not be greedy for pleasure and should handle the state affairs well...

In particular, a few people from Yushitai directly sprayed in the court hall, saying that as an emperor, how could he leave as soon as he said it.

However, Wu Zetian announced the handling of political affairs during her absence, as if she hadn't heard it.

At present, counting Di Renjie, all the people with the title of prime minister and the six ministers add up to thirteen people, but now the military department and the household department are both in the hands of the imperial court, so apart from these two departments, there are eleven people. people.

Wu Zetian announced that the government would be jointly handled by the 11 people, and they could decide by voting in case of indecision. Each of the 11 people had one vote, and Di Renjie counted two votes. During the emperor's absence, the government was handled in this way.

Of course, the emperor didn't care about it at all. Every day, the results of the government affairs were sent to Qingdao by hang glider for her to review. She could stop this mode at any time.

This kind of idea can be regarded as the inspiration given by my daughter, and I came up with it after adding some, and it can be regarded as an experiment.

Because in this way, even if something goes wrong, it is not her emperor who is responsible for the blame, but the main person in charge of the incident, and she can change people at any time.

As soon as the order came out, the courtiers who were still noisy suddenly quieted down, and they all lowered their heads to think.

This seems to be throwing all the problems to the courtiers to deal with, just like the practice of a foolish emperor, but in fact, this is also tantamount to delegating power!Invisibly, it will increase the power in the hands of courtiers.

It sounds like a good thing, courtiers seem to be able to break the high concentration of imperial power in recent years.But the problem is... the army is still in the hands of the royal family, and they can take back the released power at any time.

What's more, this mode can be regarded as completely blocking the possibility of them becoming power ministers!
First of all, it is impossible for the eleven people to be completely united, and there are cracks in themselves. This can be regarded as the way of checks and balances in the emperor's mind. Besides, even if they are all united, so what?

The emperor is not happy, he can withdraw whoever he wants!Are you not convinced?If you don't accept it, let you taste the power of grenades and artillery!

Under this model, the imperial power is still highly concentrated, but it can be regarded as the emperor's lack of energy, so the power is delegated and let them handle it on their behalf. However, they can only exercise this power on their behalf, but they cannot fully grasp it. hand.

After figuring this out, many ministers sighed in their hearts. They thought they saw hope, but they were just happy for nothing.

But even so, they still have to work hard, because in such a position, there are still many people watching from below. If they don't do a good job, don't blame the people below for stepping on them.

Di Renjie felt admiration for such methods in his heart. When things are done well, it is the emperor who can employ people and has a bright face.It's not the emperor's fault if things are not done well, the history books will only record that it's a certain minister's fault...

I don't know whether this method was thought up by the emperor or the princess' idea... It's really clever!
