Great Tang princess

Chapter 722 Sand Table

Whether it is the Academy of Engineering or the army, almost everyone under the princess likes to hear her talk very much.

If there's a reason for that, it's that being in the hands of the princess makes them feel human and respected.

As a princess of a country and the highest military officer in the country, Li Yuechen never lacked majesty on weekdays.

But this majesty does not affect her gentle character, on the contrary, it makes everyone love her more.

The biggest difference between her and other superiors is that she always uses words like "you" or "we" when talking to her subordinates.

Invisibly, it also narrowed the distance between her and her subordinates. This way of communication made them feel very comfortable as subordinates.

Under her influence, today's children of the royal family basically communicate with other people in this way.

As the royal family, they have to learn how to become a qualified leader from an early age, and learn the charm of a leader.

In class, Emperor Taizong was most used as an example.

However, in the eyes of these children, Li Yuechen has a so-called charisma of a leader.

This is the unique ability of leaders to organize and bring people together.

Leadership charisma must not be simply interpreted as brainwashing or drawing big cakes. This is actually a very complicated thing, far from being as simple as it seems.

Now these children have gradually begun to learn some things from her.

The internal structure of the astronomical telescope is actually not complicated, and Li Yuechen's design is still the simplest one.

It's just that this kind of telescope has a problem, that is, the image seen is upside down.

However, in terms of astronomy, this is not a problem, and it would be nice to let them improve slowly in the future.

Li Yuechen only thought that if Qin Tianjian got this thing, it would make the calendar more accurate.

Nowadays, farmers all over the country are farming according to the calendar. The more accurate the calendar, the greater the impact on farming, and the better the harvest.

The people from Qin Tianjian were also watching here, asking about some specific details.

When I asked, I didn't dare to put on airs, and I used an attitude of humbly asking for advice.

Everyone knew that the Engineering Academy was the princess' favorite department, and it would be a sin to throw face at them and cause the princess' displeasure.

Seeing that they were polite, these craftsmen were also willing to give them some simple explanations.

Again, pretending to be aggressive is also one of the spiritual needs of human beings. Now that we have this opportunity, we must enjoy the feeling of being a teacher.

After telling them about the astronomical telescope, the matter here is over.

Li Yuechen originally wanted to go back to the Princess Mansion to rest for a few days, but he received an invitation just after he went back.

Now the owners of the club say that the first Super League is coming to an end, and hope that the finals and the closing ceremony of the princess can go to participate.

Li Yuechen has no objection to this matter, she still likes watching sports.

It's best to ask my mother, if she is interested, she can go and have a look, which can be regarded as a further stimulus to the economic problem.

Wu Zetian has no objection to this, and now this football has become the hobby of most people in Dongdu.

Whether they are high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they are willing to watch football matches when they are free.

For a large event with such influence, there is nothing wrong with being an emperor to watch the finals and the closing ceremony.

Now that there are so many participants, the emperor is here to express his support and have fun with the people.

In fact, the distance between the emperor and the common people has now somewhat narrowed.

At least it was the case in Dongdu and Chang'an, and the reason was very simple. Since the football match, the emperor had a lot more time to show up among the people than before.

Coupled with the current circulation of banknotes, the emperor's photos are everywhere, and the distance will naturally be closer.

Although these banknotes are generally used by wealthy businessmen and dignitaries, some middle-class ordinary people can occasionally see them. At least now, many people in Dongdu, Chang'an, and Fan Yang know the emperor's appearance.

In this case, as long as the emperor is not too outrageous, it can basically improve the favor of some people.

……

On the last day of September, the Grand Zhou Super League finally ushered in the finals. After this game is over, it will be the closing ceremony.

The two teams participating in the competition are Fanyang Wuyun Club and Dongdu Qinglong Club.

Needless to say, the Wuyun Club was sponsored by Lu Zhenghao behind the scenes. It was considered rich and powerful, and the equipment was very good.

The Qinglong Club is a boss from Dongdu, in fact, it is a professional manager recommended by several big family alliances.

In the beginning, this name was actually opposed, but Li Yuechen allowed it.

Anyway, with the gradual improvement of civilization, some bad habits of feudal society will gradually change, which can be regarded as a good start.

And the facts have also proved that taking such a name will not have any special impact on society.

The game was set at [-]:[-] pm, and the emperor almost ordered it.

After all the audience stood up and saluted, Wu Zetian waved his hand, announcing that the public would be exempted from the salute, and then the competition officially started.

The whole process of the game was quite interesting, and the two sides played back and forth.

And while scoring a goal, it also aroused the cheers of the audience.

The final score was four to three, and the Oolong Club was even better!
The moment the referee's whistle sounded, most of the audience stood up and cheered, including those who won the lottery and those who did not deliberately support any team.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who put on an uncomfortable expression, and it can be seen that they have not won the bet.

And if you look carefully, many people may be under a lot of pressure.

Regarding this situation, Li Yuechen has no way to say anything, thanks to this is a state-controlled lottery, if it is a private gambling house, it is estimated that it will really go to the point of selling children and daughters.

It seems that we still need to add some clauses in this aspect in the future, and we can't turn it into an institution with no bottom line like a casino.

The closing ceremony was also well done. The two teams came to the stage to accept the awards, and the emperor watched the whole process from the VIP stands.

Overall, the first Super League in Dazhou was very successful, and preparations for the second are already underway.

But in the future, Li Yuechen doesn't need to take care of this matter in person, just be careful not to let him go astray.

……

After watching the closing ceremony, this year's football match is over.

The next day Li Yuechen originally planned to rest at home, but someone from the military department came to inform him, hoping that she would go and have a look and have a surprise.

It's not all a good thing to say that the boss is too easy-going, and now the people in the Ministry of War dare to play tricks on her.

However, Li Yuechen was not angry because of this. Since they said there was a surprise, it must be something worth celebrating.

If you come over to bother her with some trivial things, you just don't want to do it.

After riding a horse all the way to the Ministry of War, Wu Sansi trotted over before he had time to go to the office: "Your Highness, this surprise is in the second meeting room!"

"Oh?" Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you are very confident about this."

While chatting, he followed him to the second conference room.

After opening the door and entering, the first thing that catches the eye is a whole table of sand tables!
There are more than 100 large and small ones, almost occupying the more than [-] square meeting rooms.

The largest one is more than one foot long and wide, and the mountains, rivers and rivers are all made lifelike.

The moment Li Yuechen saw this sand table, he felt familiar, and the next second he realized that this is the sand table on the Tubo Plateau!
Although not all of them, at least it has done almost everything from Yizhou to Lhasa.

The other small sand tables are more detailed, and many key points are also marked out.

Li Yuechen couldn't even believe it, and turned his head to look at Geng Yunqiang and other high-level personnel next to him: "This...how is it done?"

Yao Yuanchong came out and explained: "It's thanks to His Highness's camera. With this thing, drawing a map becomes extremely easy..."

Hearing his explanation, Li Yuechen suddenly realized.

Because of the recent friction between Tubo and the countries of the Western Regions, since the first two years, the Yizhou Military Region has sent a large number of scouts to explore the terrain of Tubo.

In the past, it was actually a very troublesome thing to draw maps by hand.

But now, these scouts brought cameras, stood at a point and took a picture around them, and they were able to record a large area exactly.

Although it takes about 5 minutes for today's cameras to take a photo, it is still much faster than human hands.

With this super high efficiency, coupled with the accuracy of the photo shooting, the Yizhou Military Region quickly pieced together an accurate map from the border to Lhasa.

Then, with the concerted efforts of the craftsmen, these more than 20 sand tables were finally made.

Now transporting it to the Ministry of War is indeed an unexpected surprise for Li Yuechen!

You must know that in a war, if one of the parties can perfectly grasp the terrain, the winning rate will definitely be greatly improved.

And the level of detail of this sand table, I am afraid it has exceeded the cognition of many Tubo people on this area.

In addition, the soldiers of the Yizhou Military Region are basically accustomed to the plateau climate, and the imbalance between the two sides has been broken.

It can be said that the time is completely ripe, and the next thing is the east wind!
Geng Yunqiang and others on the side also looked excited, especially those who had personally been on the battlefield, and they were already eager to try.

"Your Highness, there is still news. After the harvest of autumn grains, Tubo and the countries of the Western Regions have started a full-scale war. There are some dangers on the Silk Road. Many foreign businessmen have submitted forms to the court, requesting to send troops to maintain trade stability..."

"This matter, write a memorial, and then let the cabinet report to the saint!" Li Yuechen said.

Whether to start a war is a big deal. Although there is a long-term plan for this, there must be a process.

This matter still needs to be deliberated by the cabinet first, and then shown to the emperor before a final decision can be made.

Although it doesn't matter if Li Yuechen decides right now, neither the emperor nor the cabinet will say anything, but she doesn't want to start with it.

So she didn't continue this topic, but praised the surprise given to her by the Ministry of War and the Yizhou Military Region, expressing that she was very satisfied with their work.

At noon, I stayed in the Ministry of War to have a meal with my subordinates, and expressed my affirmation and encouragement to them.

After eating, I chatted with them here for a while before getting up and entering the palace, intending to drink some tea and chat with my mother.

As a result, as soon as I entered Jixian Temple, I felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Li Xian raised his eyebrows, and seemed to have entered a state of daze. Although Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Zetian were drinking tea, it was obvious that their thoughts were wandering.

Seeing her coming in, Wu Zetian turned around and said, "You still know to come here? Do you know what day it is today?"

"The first day of October! What's the matter?" Li Yuechen asked with a puzzled look on his face, "And there's a morning meeting in the morning, so I'm thinking of coming back in the afternoon..."

Li Xian also came back to his senses at this time: "Do you know how much impact the newspaper was released today?"

"How big can it be?" Li Yuechen sat down indifferently.

Today's newspapers are mainly about two things. The first is that the football match ended yesterday, so let's celebrate the champion team and encourage other teams.

The second thing is about the blood type, detailing the fact that most people only have four blood types.

At the same time, Wu Zetian also announced this matter at the court meeting this morning, which caused a quarrel in the court and almost overturned the Vientiane Shrine.

"You don't know, today the ministers almost did it in front of A Niang..." Li Xian complained in a low voice.

Now, as the prince, he is also going to attend the court meeting. This morning, he ate a big melon on the spot.

"Just because of this?" Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows.

"Then why not?" Li Xian asked back.

"I think they are more or less seriously ill!" Li Yuechen complained, "It's such a simple thing, you can know the result by doing an experiment yourself when you go back, and you can use it in the court because of this? Promise..."

Li Xian picked up his teacup and took a sip: "You have to know, for thousands of years..."

"The blood-dropping method used for thousands of years is wrong!" Li Yuechen directly interrupted him, "Brother, do you want to try it yourself? Call all brothers and sisters, and talk to my mother on the spot. Try a drop of blood, not everyone can fuse together... On the contrary, it is possible for the two elder sisters in Xuancheng, Yiyang to fuse together."

Shangguan Wan'er immediately reminded: "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, how can you let the saint bleed casually."

"There's no need to try!" Wu Zetian waved his hands, "Is it possible for me not to know if you are my own?"

As he said that, he lay down on the chair helplessly: "It's just an important minister of the country, arguing and fighting about this matter in court, it's simply..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his expression again: "The folks..."

"The folks don't have to worry!" Li Yuechen picked up the teacup with a smile, "With the influence of the children among the folks, they will believe anything they say!"

Although this may sound wrong, it is the truth.

For ordinary people today, even if she says that she is a god descending from the earth, she can immediately gain a large number of believers, far surpassing any religion!
Thank you [Hexuan Zhuyun] for rewarding 100 starting coins!
