Great Tang princess
Chapter 768 1 Everything goes well
While Li Xian skipped work and ran to the barracks to fight cock with his second son, the emperor was also fishing with his daughter on the steamboat in Qingdao.
After many tests, it was confirmed that there was no problem in all aspects, so the steam engine was turned off, and everyone sat on the deck chatting and fishing.
Wu Zetian looked at the vast sea in front of him, and couldn't help but said: "When Wei Niang was young, I never thought that the world is so big."
"It's actually not that big." Li Yuechen said next to him, "If a large plane can be made in the future, it can basically reach any place within a day."
Li Dan couldn't help asking: "Isn't there already an airship now?"
"Airplanes are another kind of artifact, completely different." Li Yuechen smiled and shook his head, "Of course, I shouldn't be able to see them."
To be honest, with the current level of technology, if you can make an internal combustion engine, you can really try the Wright brothers' aircraft.
But don't even think about the real plane, let alone whether the level of craftsmanship is enough, even if it is enough, Li Yuechen is not doing this, nor can he do it.
Although the principle is the same, compared with the Wright Brothers, the real plane is actually two different things.
A few people chatted and fished, and the results were not bad in the whole morning.
When I went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, I cooked a few fish that I caught in the morning.
In the cafeteria, just as they were about to eat, a tall, rustling figure suddenly walked in from the door: "Auntie!"
"Ling Hui is here?" Li Yuechen greeted with a smile.
Li Linghui is now the second in command of the Qingdao Military Region, but most of them stay in Dalian on weekdays.
This time, I knew the news that Princess Taiping was coming, and I was arranging work several days in advance.
But even so, I still didn't come in time for the morning, and it was already noon when I came back.
After saying hello, I realized that the emperor was here, and hurriedly saluted.
Wu Zetian waved his hand indifferently, motioning for excuses, and asked her to sit down and eat together.
This did not surprise Li Yuechen.
It can be said that ever since my elder brother started supervising the country, I feel that the majesty of the emperor in my mother has been declining day by day.
Perhaps even she herself was beginning to get bored with the position of emperor.
So now the whole person seems to have become a lot kinder, at least not when he first became emperor.
Things like temperament will always change with the mood or the environment. Today's Wu Zetian, although still graceful and luxurious, but the coercion of the superior has been reduced a lot.
Sitting next to her, Li Shu and Li Linghui didn't feel very nervous, and quickly got used to it, chatting while eating.
This time I came here mainly to see how the steam engine works.
It has to be said that Li Yuechen was very satisfied with this and gave them a lot of praise and encouragement.
The two were also happy about this, and they couldn't help smiling when they were eating.
After eating, it stands to reason that Wu Zetian should take a nap for a while.
But I haven't been here for a long time, I'm in good spirits, and said I want to go for a walk.
So Li Yuechen took her for a walk on the beach. Although it was already September, there was a big sun shining on the beach at noon, so it wouldn't be cold.
Coming to the beach, Wu Zetian said softly, looking at the undulating waves, "It's really unexpected that this country can develop into what it is today..."
"Auntie, do you feel bad?"
"I can't say it's good or bad, I can only say it was too unexpected." Wu Zetian shook his head, "These new things were something that I never dared to think of."
Perhaps when traveling, the mood will also relax, and Wu Zetian also took her daughter to chat about many things.
Most of them are unnutritious topics, but Li Yuechen thinks this is very good, talking to his mother more can also make him feel good.
While the two were chatting, they saw a little girl next to him supporting a middle-aged man in military uniform, who was also taking a walk.
Seeing Li Yuechen and the guards around him, the little girl was about to salute, but she waved her hand to stop her.
And the middle-aged man was already blind, so naturally he would not know what happened here.
This is one of the officers whose eyes were burned in the magnesium powder experiment last time. He is already a disabled soldier, and he needs someone to serve him in his daily life.
For these disabled soldiers, the army does not adopt the method of paying compensation at one time.
The first is to see if they can continue to stay in the army. For example, the middle-aged man in front of him, although he is blind, can still give apprentices a lot of hints through listening and dictating.
So I still keep my military status and stay in the army.
But regardless of whether they are still in the army or not, they still have a fixed monthly salary to receive.
Wages are not higher than before, or even much lower.
But the money to hire people to wait around is paid by the army.
For example, the little girl who is supporting him by his side now, her salary is paid by the army, and the disabled soldier does not need to pay for it himself.
Similarly, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, the army will also send them some condolences such as food.
Therefore, although these disabled soldiers will not receive a large sum of compensation at one time, fortunately, their lives will be stable enough for the rest of their lives.
This method is also the result of Li Yuechen's careful thinking.
The main thing is to take out a large sum of compensation at one time. It is simple to say, but for a blind middle-aged man, it is still difficult to distinguish after all, and it is easy to be deceived.
So considering that they still have a long way to go in their lives, the army is simply responsible for taking care of their daily life.
In this way, not only the chance of being cheated can be reduced, but also the risk of being bullied.
After all, a blind person without any background is indeed easy to be bullied.
But what if he has an army as a backer?The army will also distribute condolences to him every month. This is not just as simple as condolences, but also to send a signal to the outside world.
This is a member of our military, and he cannot be bullied at ordinary times!At least it can guarantee that he will not be bullied by his neighbors while living in the village.
In addition, it is a feudal society after all. Although it is very different from the previous monarchy under Li Yuechen's reform, it is a monarchy country after all.
However, with the beginning of the industrialization process and the gradual opening of people's wisdom, in order to ensure the stability of the imperial power, support is also needed.
Now it is impossible to rely on aristocratic families, so the future imperial power needs the support of workers and farmers!
Compared with issuing large sums of compensation at one time, this method can more continuously gain favor from the bottom.
These disabled soldiers will tell the young people in the future that although they are injured, they can still live normally on this land under the wise leadership of the emperor.
This influence will be passed on from generation to generation, making future workers and farmers more supportive of imperial power.
These same young people will be more willing to serve in the army after hearing their stories.
A sound system can become a virtuous circle, perhaps somewhat complicated in this era, but Li Yuechen wants to lay a solid foundation in this era.
Again, the stronger the civilization, the more gentle it is to the weak.
All kinds of sophisticated weapons are at most just a proof of the strength of a country.
Barrier-free access to public facilities, blind paths on both sides of the road, sound laws and regulations... these are the real manifestations of strength.
Li Yuechen wants to turn the future country into the most powerful civilization in the world, as a lighthouse for the earth.
And the foundation of this lighthouse should be established from now on.
……
"Oh... this taste is not good..."
In the Qianniuwei army camp, Li Xian had a greasy mouth, muttering while gnawing on the roast chicken in front of him.
"Obviously all these steps are done according to Yuechen's instructions, but the smell doesn't feel right!"
Li Xian, who was sitting opposite, gave him a white look: "Okay, it's good to eat something. It's not the taste, it's the person."
Li Xian put down the chicken bone he just gnawed: "Brother, you mean, did I change? The taste changed?"
"Life has changed!" Li Xian smiled, "Now that you are the crown prince, you don't eat all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas? The delicious roast chicken back then looks like that now..."
Hearing what the second brother said, Li Xian thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was really the case.
After all, not to mention other things, since my sister made stir-fried dishes, after so many years, the various dishes have indeed become more abundant.
As a prince, no matter whether he flies in the sky, runs on the ground or even swims in the sea, he has almost nothing to eat.
And the roast chicken in front of me...maybe the taste is still the same as before, but now it tastes really ordinary.
"Ah, forget it!"
Li Xian didn't bother to worry about this problem, so he threw the chicken bone in his hand to the military dogs walking not far away, then stood up and said, "Brother, find me a place to rest."
Facing the bones thrown out by him, the strictly trained military dogs just lowered their heads and sniffed them, instead of eating them, they walked away on their own.
"Rest?" Li Xian raised his head, "Don't worry about the memorial, right?"
"Oh, it's so hard that Auntie isn't here, so I can't take a good rest?" Li Xian waved his hand, "By the way, bro, bring me some good tea too..."
As he said that, he walked to the family area in the backyard of the military area: "Which room is brother's house? These rooms are too small, and you can't tell them apart when they are crowded together..."
In fact, the houses in the family courtyard are not small, they are all detached villas.
It's just that it can't be compared with Li Xian's super luxurious prince's mansion, so there is such an evaluation.
Li Xian, who was sitting in the back, felt helpless for a while, and began to regret calling him over today.
Originally, as a prince, he should be more diligent, but now it is good, and the laziness that has been cultivated since childhood has been stimulated again.
But there's no other way, he's come here, and he can't be driven away now.
In desperation, I had no choice but to stand up and find tea for him, and then make it for him myself.
In fact, there is also a secretary for a position at the level of Li Xian.
But after all, he secretly brought the prince over to play today. In order to keep it secret, Li Xian gave the secretary a holiday.
So these things can only be done by yourself.
After the tea was brewed and left to dry for a while, Li Xian picked it up and drank it while chatting.
Li Xian, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help feeling a little emotional. In the past, it was impossible for the dignified prince to drink without the slightest doubt.
Even if it was a brother who would pick him up, he wouldn't dare, after all... Datang has a precedent.
But Li Xian didn't doubt it at all, and after taking a sip, he smacked his lips twice: "Well, this tea is not bad, better than the ones given to the palace."
"All the tea in the palace is top-quality black tea. Brother Wei likes to drink this scented tea. If you like it, I will bring you half a catty when you return to the palace."
Li Xian nodded unceremoniously: "Okay, come and get it after you finish drinking!"
……
Qingdao, on the pier by the sea.
Wu Zetian looked at the dusty ground under his feet, and couldn't help asking: "Now that the main roads in the country have been paved with concrete roads, can this be done on other roads in the future?"
"In fact, this cement is not suitable for road construction, it's just a helpless choice." Li Yuechen smiled, "Now that steam locomotives have begun to develop, if asphalt is researched in the future, these roads will have to be paved again. "
"Asphalt? What is that?" Li Dan asked curiously.
"It's more suitable for paving the road." Li Yuechen didn't explain it too carefully, because she couldn't explain it clearly.
"Then why not do it now?" Wu Zetian asked.
Li Yuechen shook his head: "I can't make it now, but if the internal combustion engine is made, I can consider the railway."
"The internal combustion engine...is that the one that the Academy of Engineering is currently researching?"
For the emperor, the country has no secrets, and she naturally knows all the confidential projects of the Academy of Engineering, but whether she can understand it is another matter.
"Well, that is a machine that is more efficient than a steam engine. It can drive a car several tens of feet long. Its capacity is many times higher than this steam engine." Li Yuechen replied.
"A car several tens of feet long?" Li Dan frowned, "Wouldn't it be extremely inconvenient to turn around?"
"It's not running on ordinary roads, there are special railways." Li Yuechen smiled.
Then he didn't say too much on this issue, but took them to the boat to see the dolphins.
Although there are still doubts in their hearts, after so many years, neither Wu Zetian nor Li Dan doubted the authenticity of her words.
After all, the things that are made now are already called miracles, so it is not unacceptable to have something even more miraculous.
At this moment, Li Dan pointed to the sky: "Oh, a hang glider is coming!"
Looking up, I saw a hang glider slowly descending.
Li Yuechen didn't ask any further questions, and after a short time, Li Shu ran over with a letter: "Would Auntie want to read the letter from the Northern Military Division?"
"Speak directly, what's the matter?"
"It means that the first batch of refugees on the grasslands has already begun to be transported inland. I hope I will send someone to meet them."
Speaking of this, she asked, "However, it's a bit troublesome to transport so many people by land. Can you send them there by airship?"
"That's fine, at least the training won't be delayed for too long." Li Yuechen thought about it, and agreed.
After these refugees arrive at the designated place, they will be received by the local government, and they will be issued with household registration and land, so that they can start to learn farming.
Everything is proceeding according to the original plan.
After many tests, it was confirmed that there was no problem in all aspects, so the steam engine was turned off, and everyone sat on the deck chatting and fishing.
Wu Zetian looked at the vast sea in front of him, and couldn't help but said: "When Wei Niang was young, I never thought that the world is so big."
