Great Tang princess

Chapter 60 Planning
The bustling procession turned in front of the Tianjin Bridge and headed east, leaving a lot of water marks on the road.

Li Xian and the others watched them splashing water on each other with relish, and seeing the excited expressions on their faces, they probably couldn't help but want to try it.

The two elder sisters have hardly been out of the palace since they were young, and they were a little excited to see such a game for a while.

The same is true for Shangguan Wan'er, Li Yuechen estimated that if she had a high-pressure water gun in her hand, she would probably spray wildly at them.

She herself has always shown a lack of interest, so she just watched it with her brothers and sisters and Shangguan Wan'er.

In order to show support for them, when the team reached the opposite side of the imperial city and began to turn, Li Yuechen also made a ring with his middle finger and thumb, put it in his mouth and blew a loud whistle.

It's just that because there were too many people cheering, this loud whistle didn't attract the attention of too many people on the other side.

On the contrary, Li Xian and Li Lun also followed her example, making two fingers into rings and putting them in their mouths to whistle.

However, no matter how hard he played it, he couldn't make it sound. Seeing the puzzled looks from Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng, he felt a little embarrassed.

Li Xian involuntarily moved a few steps to the side, but Li Lun asked openly, "Yuechen, where is the secret?"

Li Yuechen had nothing to do anyway, so he started teaching the two of them to whistle.

"Make your fingers like this, and then..." While Li Yuechen was teaching, Shangguan Wan'er seemed to want to learn.

But when I saw that I was going to put my finger in my mouth, in front of outsiders, I was obviously a little embarrassed to learn it.

It took about an afternoon, and Li Xian and the two finally learned to whistle, and they whistled happily.

After the parade of the Pohan Huxi had gone far away, a group of people came down from the tower, and the two of them held their numb cheeks and rubbed them lightly.

Seeing the funny looks of the two, Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng couldn't help laughing slightly.

After returning to Anfu Hall, Li Yuechen took a walk in his own hall and was ready to go to bed after casually eating some dinner.

As a result, Xiao He came over with a small tray: "Your Highness, today the empress gave you some impatiens, let's dye your armor."

"Dye the armor?" Li Yuechen didn't react at first.

Then I thought, wouldn't it be the nail polish worn by women in this era?
But she was obviously not interested in this, so she shook her head: "No, you can use it yourself."

"Your Highness, Your Majesty said that you must do it." Xiao He reminded.

Li Yuechen sighed, come on, in order to please my mother, just paint it on, anyway, I will definitely not paint this thing when I grow up in the future.

But speaking of it, she was also a little curious about what women in this era used to paint their nails.

After Li Yuechen finished washing, he sat cross-legged on his bed, waiting for Xiao He to help with his nails.

I saw that she first took a jar and threw some petals into it, then put some salt and added a few drops of vinegar, and then began to pound with a small wooden hammer.

After crushing all the petals, pick up the broken pieces with bamboo tweezers, and cover Li Yuechen's nails little by little.

Then she wrapped her fingers with an unfamiliar leaf, tied it tightly with thread, and tied it in a knot.

After a while, Li Yuechen's ten fingers were all wrapped up.

Looking at the tightly wrapped fingers, Li Yuechen frowned and refused the request to dye her toenails.

"How long will it take?" Li Yuechen asked.

"Your Highness, sleep peacefully, you can take it apart when you wake up tomorrow." Xiao He replied.

Damn, is it so slow to dye your nails in this era?

Although she was a little curious about the effect, Li Yuechen obediently lay down and slept after she said so.

People in this age get up early, and it is still dark when they get up in the morning.

After inquiring about Xiaohe, Li Yuechen removed the leaf wrapped around his finger, and lifted it up to have a look, but because of the bad light, he couldn't see the specific color.

After finishing yoga with her two sisters and Shangguan Wan'er, and having breakfast, the sun has almost risen.

Li Yuechen then ran outside the hall and raised his hand to observe.

It was discovered under the sun that the nails dyed by this thing are not bright red, but slightly darker than orange.

The biggest difference from nail polish is that this thing is not a hardened surface covering the nails, but it really dyes the nails.

So this thing can't be washed off, you can only wait for a new round of nails to grow out.

Then Xiaohe came over and explained that if you want a big red, you can dye it again tonight.

Li Yuechen thought about it and decided to forget it. Anyway, it was just to deal with her mother. From her own point of view, the color of her nails didn't matter at all.

But Shangguan Wan'er has a different opinion: "Your Highness always likes to wear red on weekdays, and it will be more harmonious with the same bright red nails!"

"Really?" Li Yuechen lowered his head and opened his fingers to look at his clothes, then nodded: "Okay, then dye it again."

Anyway, this thing seems to have no chemical additives, and the damage to the body should be negligible.

Li Yuechen also knew that he was definitely inferior to women in terms of aesthetics, so it was better to listen to their opinions on how to dress up.

Who made herself not a real woman?You can't say that, it should be said... duplicity!

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen suddenly felt that something was wrong, but no matter what, the adjectives are the same anyway.

Then he waved his hand and went directly to practice in the courtyard, and the other people in Anfu Hall also did their own thing.

After practicing in the morning, Fulai came back with a cowhide whip, and handed it over with a respectful expression.

"This is what His Highness said yesterday."

Li Yuechen reached out to take it, and took it to examine it carefully.

This thing is about two centimeters in diameter, and it seems to be woven from strips of cowhide.

Just like that kind of woven bamboo basket, you can see dense and regular stripes interspersed with each other.

Originally, she thought that this thing should be hollow, but upon closer inspection, it was actually filled up densely, as if it was wrapped layer by layer.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Yuechen put it on the ground, stepped on it with both feet and shook it vigorously a few times.

It feels solid and solid.

Thinking that he was still a child, he let Fulai and Xiaohe step on it, and squatted down to watch beside him.

Following Li Yuechen's order, Fulai and Xiaohe shook hard a few times.

Li Yuechen next to him saw that the cowhide whip was slightly deformed, but it was not crushed flat.

Overall, strong and resilient.

Li Yuechen took it in his hand and rubbed it lightly twice, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the future, there will be the concept of airless tires, but the main material is still rubber.

But there is no rubber in this era, so this thing might be a good substitute.

……

That night, after dyeing his nails again, Li Yuechen's nails finally turned bright red.

I put my hand on the clothes and looked at it. Not to mention, it looked a lot more harmonious.

Life has been quite peaceful recently, and what is gratifying is that Princess Xuancheng has been completely immersed in the ocean of mathematics.

Now Li Yuechen not only taught her future mathematics, but also let her learn the arithmetic left by her master.

After the two sides argued with each other, they discovered a lot of novel things.

Although these things seemed very novel to Li Yuechen, they were just knowledge that was not even counted as mathematics in junior high school.

But in this era, it is already quite advanced.

In the afternoon, while Li Yuechen was drawing the design of the foot-operated stirring rod, he was talking about arithmetic with Princess Xuancheng.

"If my sister can calculate the rotation speed of this wheel and the force contained in it in the future, it will be great!"

"Strength?" Princess Xuancheng was a little curious, "Can such intangible things be calculated?"

Li Yuechen nodded: "In this world, as long as it exists, even if it is invisible or intangible, it can still be counted."

Princess Xuancheng didn't know what kind of state this was, but she actually believed it when she heard what her sister said.

Perhaps, from the moment this younger sister rescued himself and Princess Yiyang from Yeting Palace, he had already decided to trust her unconditionally, right?

Even if what she said sounded so wild and unconvincing, I still wanted to believe it.

But at this moment, she still has a question in her heart: "Then according to what Chen'er said, how can I prove that I have calculated the invisible thing?"

Li Yuechen thought for a while: "The Kongming Lantern can fly into the sky. If one day people fly into the sky, wouldn't it prove that many invisible things have been calculated?"

"How can a person fly to the sky?" Princess Xuancheng asked with her eyes wide open.

Li Yuechen smiled slightly: "Sister, don't underestimate the power of life!"

After drawing the design while chatting, Li Yuechen took Fulai to the craftsman supervisor.

After all, the item this time is very troublesome. I am afraid that it is not clear to explain it with just a picture. It is necessary to have a face-to-face chat with these craftsmen to let them know what they want.

Now these craftsmen are quite familiar with Li Yuechen, and because of her relationship, the relationship between the two parties has become much better.

Because in the past, there were few opportunities for different craftsmen to communicate.

However, many of the things that Li Yuechen has made recently can only be produced by the joint efforts of carpenters and blacksmiths, so there are many more opportunities to communicate with each other.

For example, the children's tricycle last time is a product that can only be obtained after the cooperation of a typical carpenter and blacksmith.

As for the things to be done this time, when Li Yuechen handed over the drawings, they felt extremely complicated at a glance.

Li Yuechen's drawing skills are just so-so. It's no problem to understand it by himself, but it's really not easy for others to understand it.

So I can only stand in front of these craftsmen and explain to them in person.

Fu looked at this posture today and probably had to talk about it for a long time. In order to prevent His Highness from getting dry mouth, he beckoned Wang Jiancheng to prepare a cup of yogurt.

In this era, yogurt is still the main drink because tea is troublesome to drink.

Although these things such as sanle pulp are not expensive, they are not affordable to drink every day.

Standing in front of a group of craftsmen, Li Yuechen explained to them his needs and what kind of effect this thing should achieve.

Her expression was very patient, and there was no sign of impatience at all.

The craftsmen also knew that His Highness had a good temper and was easy to talk, so they actively asked questions if they didn't understand.

But one thing that surprised Li Yuechen was that none of them seemed surprised by the gear itself.

After asking, I found out that gears have already appeared in this era.

So it's much easier to explain this thing, just tell them how to use it.

Although it was decided to use belt transmission, Li Yuechen still made some changes.

Originally, she planned to make the wheels concave, and then glue some wooden sticks on the belt, so that these wooden sticks can just be stuck in the grooves and rotate.

But considering that it must be reinforced frequently, it is too troublesome.

So it is still made into an ordinary gear style, and then a copper buckle is placed on the belt to drive.

In this way, a foot-operated stirring rod can be made with only three gears, one big, two small, and three gears.

After talking for half an hour in a blink of an eye, Li Yuechen just turned his head, and Fulai brought over the yogurt with a wink.

Li Yuechen took it and drank it down, and then asked the craftsmen in front of him: "If you have any questions, tell me, so that I can save myself from running away."

The craftsmen shook their heads in unison to express that there was no problem.

"That's good," Li Yuechen nodded and said, "I won't set a time limit for you, but you still have to make it as soon as possible. If there is any accident, please let me know as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuechen turned around and left the craftsman supervisor.

The problem here is solved, and the next step is to prepare for production. First, a group of trustworthy workers need to be trained intensively.

Then it is to find a place in Luoyang City to be a production workshop. After all, it is not realistic to do this in the harem every day.

There is also the issue of confidentiality of the formula. Although I have the status of a princess, no one would dare to steal it openly.

But I can't stand someone playing tricks, and if I do some tricks behind my back, I can't say anything if I can't find evidence.

So the best way is to use the army to guard directly, so as to achieve the best confidentiality effect.

However, the most critical issue is... money!

Now the canned food has not been sold yet, and it is still in a state of spending money but not making money.

Li Yuechen raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, it seems that this problem still needs to find his parents for investment!

Although it always feels embarrassing to ask for money from the two of them, but then again, isn't it for them to earn money by yourself?

Otherwise, I'm a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, and I don't have to worry about food and drink, so why do I do this stuff?

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen wondered if he should write a detailed business plan and show it to Li Zhi?
However, this idea was immediately rejected. There was no need to be so serious about asking my father for money.

Anyway, the two of them have already used the soap during this period of time, and they have the experience of using it. They must be able to see the potential, and it should not be difficult to ask for money.

So Li Yuechen rode on his little tricycle again, humming a song and headed for Renshou Hall.

　Thanks to [Miao Ziqing] for the reward of 5000 starting coins!
