Great Tang princess

Chapter 75 Attack
When we came out of Renshou Hall, the sun had completely set, the sky gradually turned dark blue, and the starry sky was becoming more and more conspicuous.

After saying hello to the older brothers, Li Yuechen and the two older sisters returned to Anfu Hall.

The two sisters who were a little sleepy on the way back from outside the city became full of energy at this moment.

Not to mention Shangguan Wan'er, children of this age are often full of energy.

Having just had dinner with Li Zhi in Renshou Hall, Li Yuechen also thought about doing something to digest before going to sleep.

In the end, I danced squares with them in the yard. After dancing for a while, I sat in Linbo Pavilion watching the stars and telling stories.

In fact, Li Yuechen originally planned to sit on the bed in the inner hall, light a candle and tell ghost stories.

However, considering that most people in this era are somewhat superstitious, saying that if this thing is not done well will cause a heart attack, after thinking about it, I decided to give up.

After a while, Xiao He came out to remind: "Your Highnesses, it's already [-] o'clock, and it's time to go to sleep."

"En." Li Yuechen agreed, said goodnight to the two sisters, and turned back to the inner hall.

Shangguan Wan'er followed behind, with a puzzled expression on her small face: "Why does Your Highness know so many stories?"

"I dreamed about it." Li Yuechen smiled, and then patted her head: "Go to sleep early, maybe you can also dream about some stories."

"En!" Shangguan Wan'er seemed to really believe her, she nodded expectantly, turned around and left after saluting.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Li Yuechen shook his head, thinking in his heart that children are easy to deceive, so cute!

……

After eating at noon the next day, Li Yuechen went directly to the Hall of Renshou.

After adding tea to Wu Zetian who was approving the memorial at the table with a winking look, he came to sit next to Li Zhi: "How about a gift for Grandpa?"

"Gifts?" Li Zhi looked puzzled, "Didn't the Shangsi Festival be yesterday?"

"It has nothing to do with the Shangsi Festival. Grandpa's birthday will be three months away. My child wants to make a birthday present for Grandpa." Li Yuechen replied with a smile.

These words seemed to interest Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian next to her also turned her head to listen to what she wanted to say.

"Did Chen'er come up with something new?" Li Zhi asked while holding the health ball.

Li Yuechen nodded: "My boy is going to make a four-wheeled car for Grandpa, the one that is more stable and comfortable!"

As for the four-wheeled carriage, it is not that no one has thought about it, but the steering problem has never been solved.

Li Zhi had seen the four-wheeled carriages used in many shops. The steering was always twisted hard, and there was a risk of falling over if not done well.

"Chen'er can solve the steering problem?" Li Zhi asked.

"En!" Li Yuechen nodded confidently.

If you look at the emperor's royal car in this period individually, it is actually not as luxurious as in the movie.

The emperor's travel tools can be roughly divided into several types.

The first type is called a step yu or a walking chariot, which is not a frame, but a big sedan chair with four sides open.

Generally, it is carried by a number of wrestlers. It looks thinner, but when using this kind of transportation, there are often a hundred or so people around, full of momentum.

There is also a chariot called a chariot, which is a bit like the human-powered rickshaws in the Republic of China, which were pulled by people.

The highest specification is called "drive", which is the exclusive carriage for grand events.Because of the hanging bells, it is also called "Luanjia".

Whether it sounds or looks very luxurious, colorful, carved dragons and painted phoenixes...

However, this thing is also not too big, and it can seat up to four people, and it will be too crowded if there are more.

This kind of imperial carriage is pulled by six horses. From the front, you can only see the horses side by side, but you cannot see the cart behind...

Hearing that Li Yuechen said that she could solve the steering problem, Li Zhi thought for a while and asked, "How can I support you?"

"Because there are a lot of materials needed, as long as Grandpa orders the craftsman to cooperate fully." Li Yuechen replied.

"Okay!" Li Zhi nodded, smiled and raised his hand to touch her head, "Sure!"

Li Yuechen got up and gave him a hug: "Grandfather is mighty!"

I didn't forget my mother when I was done, and ran over to give her a hug.

Although she had a disgusted expression on her face, she didn't refuse at all.

……

After receiving Li Zhi's order, Li Yuechen returned to Anfu Hall in the afternoon and started drawing directly.

The first is to solve the problem of steering, which can be viewed in two parts.

One part is the lower frame and the other part is the upper body.

First of all, Li Yuechen drew the spliced ​​frame, which simply puts two frames together, and the rear frame is hung on the front frame.

In this way, when turning, the two front wheels turn first, and then the two rear wheels turn, just like pulling a train.

Then there is the problem of the body, because the lower frame will turn, and the upper body will inevitably bend along with it.

In order to prevent the body from being broken, the body can only be divided into two parts and made into a separate type.

As for the connection point in the middle, Li Yuechen did not choose the European structure, but decided to adopt a hinged structure.

Anyway, craftsmen in this era can even make hinges as big as a little thumbnail, so there must be no problem making a big one.

In fact, many elongated buses in my country have also adopted such a structure, which is the famous "organ" bus.

Including the organ-style connecting leather, it can also be directly replaced with leather, which is absolutely beautiful.

Originally, Li Yuechen felt that he was familiar with the whole structure, and it should be easy to draw, but unexpectedly, five days had passed since the drawing was finished.

After drawing the picture, Li Yuechen propped his arms and elbows on the table, and looked up at the ceiling while holding his chin.

Dad's birthday may not be in time, right?
Li Zhi's birthday is the fifteenth day of June, and today is the seventh day of March... Can this thing be made in three months?

But since the words have already been said, you can't give up at this time, can you?

Anyway, Li Zhi said to ask the craftsman to cooperate fully, and if it doesn't work, he will transfer someone!

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen picked up a large stack of drawings that he had drawn in the past five days and went straight to the craftsman's supervisor.

……

On the Jiangzuojian's side, after receiving the emperor's order two days ago, they were already ready for battle.

After all, in the past, when the princess made something, she just came here and said it.

This time, since the emperor gave orders to cooperate fully, he must be a big guy or extremely troublesome.

Sure enough, when Wang Jiancheng saw Li Yuechen coming over with a large stack of drawings in his hand, he knew that this must be an extremely troublesome job.

But even if it was expected, he still didn't dare to neglect. After ordering the yogurt to be prepared, he called all the craftsmen.

Li Yuechen went directly to the wall and ordered someone to paste the blueprints in their hands on the wall one by one in order.

Then he explained to these craftsmen: "What we are going to do this time is a four-wheeled carriage..."

One by one, the design drawings were pasted on the wall in order, and Li Yuechen explained them in detail bit by bit.

In order to save time, the body of this carriage was directly designed to be hollowed out.

It stands to reason that the imperial driver of the emperor must bring a yellow umbrella. This thing is not only for the sun and rain, but also a status symbol.

However, Li Yuechen directly removed it, and made it into something similar to the awning of a rickshaw in the period of the Republic of China.

It is directly connected with the fabric and the skeleton, and it can be done by simply pulling it up when shading.

The organ maker at the junction of the fabric and the car body is not easy to do, and it is necessary to cooperate with the Shangyi Bureau at the same time.

At the same time, in order to reduce weight, many places have been hollowed out.

In fact, the most troublesome thing these days is the tires. They are only made of wood, and their weight is quite terrifying.

Li Yuechen asked if it could be replaced with an iron wheel. After thinking about it, the extremely blacksmith gave the answer yes, but there was not enough time.

Blacksmithing is very time-consuming. The tires are fine, but the spokes have to be punched out one by one, which is extremely troublesome.

After listening to the craftsmen's explanation, Li Yuechen scratched his head and asked, "Think about it, is there anything that can replace it?"

At the same time, he took two sips of the yogurt handed over by Fulai to moisten his throat. After talking so much just now, his throat felt a little dry.

At this time, a carpenter next to him seemed to have thought of something, and saluted, "Your Highness, there is a batch of bamboo that was paid by the Nanzhong barbarian tribe a few years ago. It was originally intended to be used for making utensils, but it is extremely hard..."

Listening to the carpenter's explanation, Li Yuechen suddenly thought of something.Thanks to her traveling around the world, she knows many things unique to provinces and cities.

I used to play wingsuit flying in Zhaotong, and I heard that there is a special kind of bamboo in Yunnan. I don’t know if it’s this... Thinking of this, Li Yuechen’s face was a little surprised.

"Take a look!" Li Yuechen waved his hands expectantly.

"Here! Your Highness, please wait a moment!"

The other party promised and turned to leave. After a while, he came back with a slender bamboo.

Passed respectful hands to Li Yuechen: "Please take a look, Your Highness."

Li Yuechen took it over and took a look, his eyes lit up, and he showed a cute smile, it really was Yunnan Tiezhu!

This thing is much harder than ordinary bamboo, so it is absolutely no problem to use it to make spokes, and it can also reduce weight!

"Just use this thing to do it!" Li Yuechen nodded and gave the order.

Then he began to discuss with them how to do it. In order to save time, Li Yuechen asked them to start working at the same time.

Carpenters make the bodies and blacksmiths make the frames.At the same time, determine the size before starting work, and it is best to match it with the tailor of Shangyi Bureau.

Although the body looks big, it is not too laborious to make, after all, a lot of materials are saved.

After a person sits down, in addition to the backrest, the height of the body fence is just to the waist.

Anyway, the emperor's royal car was never used for racing, it was always slow, and there was no need to worry about being thrown off.

The rest will be handed over to them. Li Yuechen said that he will come over often in the future. If there is anything he doesn't understand, he will ask quickly and try to make it before his father's birthday.

You can add carvings later, but at least you have to be able to move on your birthday.

Although this car looks only a little bigger than the original Luanjia, it is actually big enough to seat ten people!

Li Yuechen also ordered eight horses to pull the cart, four for the front and back.

After explaining everything, Li Yuechen saw that the sun was about to set and fire clouds appeared in the sky, so he turned and left.

……

After returning to Anfu Hall, Li Yuechen showed a smile after looking at the green seedlings.

It's going well so far, and I hope there will be some good results this year.

Droughts have occurred frequently in the Guanzhong area in recent years, and Li Yuechen really does not want people to starve to death.

After bowing to a field of seedlings with clasped hands, Li Yuechen returned to Anfu Hall with a small hop.

In the hall, Princess Yiyang was playing Go with Shangguan Wan'er, while Princess Xuancheng was doing the Sudoku game that Li Yuechen taught her boredly.

Seeing her come back, Shangguan Wan'er stood up and saluted.

Li Yuechen waved his hand to let her continue, and sat down beside him to watch them play chess.

In fact, she doesn't know anything about this stuff, she hasn't learned it at all, and she can't understand it. It's just to pass the time before dinner.

……

After eating at noon the next day, the newly bought people from Fulai Workshop have already started to learn, and the production will be doubled in a short time.

Li Yuechen thought about it and decided to take a look.

Shangguan Wan'er and the others seemed to have no interest after going there once, so Li Yuechen took Fulai and set off in a carriage.

Twenty plainclothes guards in charge of protection surrounded the carriage and set off for the workshop.

When they came to the workshop, the workers came to salute one after another.

Li Yuechen took a look and found that most of these people were also men, and there were only three women.

After asking some random questions, I found that the three women were very honest, even a little slow in response, and one of them had a scar on his face.

Thinking about it, they might have been abused before being sold, but Li Yuechen didn't ask too much, anyway, after staying here for a long time, they will understand that it must be much more comfortable here than before.

After looking at it for a while, I found that these people learned well, and there were no obvious mistakes, so I nodded with satisfaction and prepared to go back.

The carriage left Jixianfang, passed through Jiashanfang, and drove slowly towards Luoshui.

Lifting the curtains of the car and taking a look, Li Yuechen wondered if he should drop by to Nanshi to see how his canning shop was doing.

In fact, as a princess, it is not suitable for her to appear there. Every time she passes by, she basically doesn't go in, just look at it in the carriage.

There were people coming and going on the street, most of the pedestrians would give way when they saw the carriage accompanied by bodyguards armed with knives.

However, after turning the corner, the guard who was in charge of clearing the way at the front saw two ordinary-dressed men walking straight towards this side.

The most important thing is that these two people are also holding a horizontal knife in their hands!

The two guards walking in the front looked at each other, and when they stood still, their right hands were already on the scabbard, and they shouted coldly: "Stop! Who is it!"

However, the moment his voice fell, the two people on the opposite side suddenly took two steps, raised their right hands, and with a bang, the horizontal knife was out of its sheath!

At the same time, the two also came to the two prison guards respectively.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the guards were not slow to react, and immediately retreated and drew their swords at the same time.

However, it was still a step too late, the knife flashed, and a cut was cut on the necks of both of them at the same time.

At the same time that the two fell down with blood gushing from their necks, the guard in charge of driving also shouted: "Enemy attack! Protect Your Highness!"
