Great Tang princess

Early the next morning, Li Xian, who received the news, woke up very early.When I came to wait in the square outside the Xuanwu Gate, I couldn't help but yawned.

After looking at the still dark sky, he asked someone to bring a cup of hot tea.

Normally, as long as Li Xian had nothing to do, he always waited for the sunrise to get up, but today when his mother came back, in order to show off, he got up before dawn.

When the first ray of sunlight pierced the darkness, the huge figure in the sky was slowly exposed from the darkness.

After landing steadily, the hatch opened, and Wu Zetian was the first to walk out from it.

After all, I am getting older and sleep less, so I went to bed early on the airship and woke up to wash and dress up.

Li Yuechen was used to getting up early and was full of energy.

Only Li Dan, who was at the end, looked like he hadn't slept well, and even couldn't help yawning when he walked out of the hatch.

Seeing his mother coming out, Li Xian hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Mother!"

"Well, I'm a little hungry, let's have some breakfast together." Wu Zetian waved his hand.

"Yes, the child is already ready."

Li Xian agreed, and led them to the Temple of Immortals.

Entering the Xuanwu Gate, Wu Zetian looked at the gradually recovering Ziwei Palace, and said softly, "I have been away for a few days for my mother, and I have seen my son's ability!"

"Aniang, don't praise me, the baby is very tired..." Li Xianru complained like talking to himself.

When Wu Zetian heard this complaint, she didn't teach him a lesson, but just smiled a little, and didn't continue talking.

After going out this time, I have a new understanding of my son.

Although I always say that I am tired, in fact, I can not lose the chain when it is time to be serious.

This is already very good, at least with the help of my daughter, there is nothing to worry about in the future.

This principle has been thought of before, so Li Xian can clearly feel that his chances of being scolded are much lower recently.

When we came to Jixian Temple, the family sat together to have breakfast and chat about some policy issues.

After hearing what his son said about Tubo's policies, Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows: "It is absolutely impossible for you to come up with this, is it the crown princess?"

Li Xian immediately drooped his eyelids: "How much A Niang doesn't trust the child..."

Wu Zetian replied with a smile: "I have never trusted you!"

"...Ahem...Ah Niang is right, Lian'er helped to figure it out. But Hai'er is not..."

"Okay, it doesn't matter." Wu Zetian waved his hand, "As long as you can ensure that she faces you, then everything will be fine."

Wu Zetian once said that his son must not be able to play with his wife.

However, if she can devote herself wholeheartedly to Li Xian, it can also be a great help.

Just like myself and the first emperor.

In addition, with the help of my own daughter, there is no need to worry about her causing any troubles.

Wu Zetian, who has figured this out, has eaten well and slept soundly during this period of time, and is not worried about the future at all.

……

The emperor came back, and even though the policy had been finalized, the cabinet still wrote the terms to be implemented into a memorandum and showed it to Wu Zetian to prevent any problems.

Wu Zetian directly stamped the emperor's seal, saying that there is no problem, just do it according to this.

Seeing that the emperor was so straightforward, the cabinet stopped asking more questions and went to implement it immediately.

On the other side, Li Yuechen continued to return to the days when he stayed in the engineering academy except for classes.

After entering October, the weather has obviously cooled down a lot, but the experimental plant of the Engineering Institute is still extremely hot.

After all, with so many steam engines running, the surrounding temperature cannot be too low.

On the experimental field outside the factory building, a truck over three feet long has been gradually assembled.

The tires and frame were installed, and the cab was done, but the doors hadn't been put in yet.

But at least it doesn't affect the experiment.

Seeing the white steam continuously coming out of the large boiler at the rear of the truck, the truck began to move slowly under the driver's control.

At the moment when the truck moved, the craftsmen onlookers cheered in unison.

Li Yuechen, who was standing at the front of the crowd, couldn't help but smile. Now, the transportation revolution has officially started.

Over the next few days, the Academy of Engineering conducted various tests on the truck.

After testing, it is known that the top speed can reach 22 kilometers per hour without turning.

And boiling a pot of water can make it travel about [-] kilometers, of course, this is the best result.

Normally, a pot of water can travel almost [-] kilometers.

After all, trucks are used to carry people and goods. If the truck is empty, the top speed can reach 36 kilometers per hour, and a pot of water can run more than 150 kilometers.

When this data was placed in front of Wu Zetian, her surprised eyeballs almost fell out.

To be honest, it was the first time for Li Yuechen to see his mother like this, and he couldn't help showing a slightly smug smile.

"This... is so powerful?" She asked in disbelief.

You must know what a speed of [-] kilometers per hour means when carrying one ton of cargo.

Although it is said that the 250-mile express is said to be able to travel [-] miles a day, which is [-] kilometers, but that is a person running.

The marching speed of the army is actually very slow, even for all cavalry.

The more people there are, the slower the speed will be. This point will not change even in the future thousands of years later.

But now with this kind of truck, it means that the marching speed of the army can be completely increased by one dimension.

Twenty kilometers in one hour, that hour is eighty miles!For the army, this is an extremely terrifying efficiency, which is simply unimaginable.

"Don't worry, mother, this is just the beginning."

Li Yuechen smiled slightly and picked up the teacup: "If the internal combustion engine is successfully developed in the future, it will be no problem to travel two hundred miles an hour!"

After listening to her daughter's explanation, Wu Zetian recovered from the surprise, and couldn't help but patted the shoulder of his son next to him: "You, it's time to catch up!"

The strengthening of transportation and transportation will not only improve the economic level of various places, but the most intuitive thing is the combat effectiveness of the army.

The improvement of the army's combat effectiveness will further increase the stability of the imperial power.

Li Xian could also understand this truth, nodded slightly and said: "That's right, with Yuechen here, I'm sure in the future I can..."

"Brother, don't always rely on me alone, okay?" Li Yuechen reminded, "You are the future emperor, you must take the lead!"

"Okay, okay, brother, I will listen to you!"

Li Xian longed for someone to guide him, it was exhausting to think on his own!

……

The news of the successful production of the truck did not leak out immediately, but in the following time, various experiments were started while the production line was being produced.

In the Engineering Academy, Pei Bishu was chatting with Li Yuechen about his views.

"Your Highness, this subordinate thinks that it is better to merge the General Weapons Supervision into our Engineering Academy in the future, which can save a lot of things..."

Li Yuechen has actually been thinking about this issue recently.

Because the Academy of Engineering is essentially a place that is only responsible for research and development, and the finalized products are basically handed over to the military supervisor or general supervisor.

So she was also thinking, should these two departments simply be placed under the Engineering Academy, and in the future, after the successful development of any product, they can be handed over to them for production.

Military weapons inspectors are in charge of purely military products, while printing presses and cameras can also be used by civilians, so they should be handed over to the inspector.

Since Pei Bishu brought it up today, Li Yuechen also felt that this issue should indeed be put on the agenda.

Now that the truck has been successfully researched, the Military Supervisor can be responsible for the production.

It would be better for the Academy of Engineering to focus most of its energy on internal combustion engines and nitric acid.

Li Yuechen's plan is to start making glass mirrors as soon as nitric acid is researched.

This kind of thing can definitely become a luxury that is popular all over the world, and businessmen from all over the world will definitely be willing to send a lot of gold and silver to this place for it.

So now the Academy of Engineering must step up its research and be freed from tedious work.

"Well, since the merger is going to happen, apprentices and craftsmen can be allowed to accumulate experience, and the engineering institute will mainly leave some personnel responsible for research and development..." Li Yuechen gave his own suggestion.

Pei Bishu immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the subordinates will arrange the staff..."

This suggestion did speak to Pei Bishu's heart.

A craftsman is a craftsman. Since he is a craftsman, he needs a lot of experience and practice to improve himself, not just by reading books or being taught by someone.

Allowing inexperienced apprentices and craftsmen to accumulate more experience in the following departments can also quickly improve their skills.

It is also very helpful for future promotion space, and it also helps to establish a clear promotion system.

Of course, this also means that the craftsman exams in the future will become more and more stringent.

But this is not a bad thing. Strict examinations can ensure that as long as they can pass, there will be absolutely no idiots, and absolutely everyone is a master of technology.

Pei Bishu agreed with this suggestion very much, and temporarily put aside his research on the phone for the next time, and began to arrange personnel.

In addition, merging the Operation Supervisor and Military Weapons Supervisor into the Academy of Engineering means that the level of secrecy will be increased, and the training and management of internal personnel will also be strengthened.

In fact, it is okay to be a prisoner, after all, it is also for the civilian market.

However, there was a big change in the Military Weapons Supervision in the following time, and almost all the highly skilled craftsmen were replaced with military status.

It's okay if you don't want to join the army, just go to the general supervisor and continue working.

Or if you really don't want to, you can also choose to take an unemployment benefit and leave the job.

Today's craftsmen in Dazhou don't have to worry about not being able to survive even if they leave their posts as general supervisors.

The Zhuangzi of the aristocratic family has also improved various treatments for craftsmen, so there is no need to worry about having nothing to eat in the future.

Of course, no one actually chose to resign, and all followed the arrangement!
……

At the end of November, the weather has completely cooled down.

During this period, the Academy of Engineering completed its reform and expanded in size a lot.

Next to Nanshi in the city, a new printing factory was built, not only to undertake the work of the imperial court, but also to accept customers from outside.

It's just that for now, no outsiders need them, so the business is relatively bleak.

But it doesn't matter, this printing factory is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it is incidental to the outside world.

In Jixian Temple, Wu Zetian sat on a recliner, looked out the window and said, "I heard that the tribes outside the border are now fighting for territory. Now that winter is coming, will it affect our border?"

"Don't worry, Auntie, they can't take care of themselves. How can they invade our border?" Li Yuechen said with a smile.

Since she said it was fine, Wu Zetian didn't worry about anything, and directly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, for this year's New Year's Eve dinner, why don't we invite outside artists to perform in the palace again, it seems quite interesting."

Li Xian who was at the side said: "In this case, why not invite the courtiers to celebrate together on New Year's Eve like when Grandpa was in power..."

"The reason why the New Year's Eve Banquet was canceled back then was to reduce the hassle. After all, there are many old people in this court..." Li Yuechen replied helplessly, "If it is added now, isn't it purely tormenting people?"

Li Xian thought about it too, so he said: "Then..."

"But it's not impossible!"

Li Yuechen suddenly interrupted my elder brother: "If they are invited to come to the New Year's Eve banquet to celebrate, then they may as well invite foreign envoys and so on. The first day of the New Year will be cancelled!"

"How can this be done?" Li Xian directly objected, "The first day of the first lunar month is..."

"It stands to reason that you should reunite with your family on the first day of junior high school. It's a holiday, and you have to get up early in the morning to talk about work. Are you tired?" Li Yuechen said, "Why don't we put all of them at the New Year's Eve banquet, and once the midnight is over, everyone will go back to their respective homes! "

Li Xian, who has always been lazy, felt that what his sister said made sense, and subconsciously nodded in agreement.

That's right, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, but I have to get up early to go to court, it's purely a toss!
So he turned his head to look at his mother expectantly, after all, she was the emperor, and he still couldn't decide on such matters.

Wu Zetian thought about it, and raised a question: "But after all, since ancient times..."

"Hey, now that the imperial power is centralized, who cares if it's not ancient?" Li Yuechen waved his hand, "Since Auntie is the emperor, why can't this be the first of its kind?"

Hearing her daughter's rather domineering reply, Wu Zetian lowered his head and thought for a while, but did not immediately refute.

The reason is that the emperor changed the ancestral precepts, essentially declaring the power of the imperial power.

Now that this is the case, it doesn't matter if it changes.

Besides, from a practical point of view, it doesn't matter if you stay up late on New Year's Eve, but it's really a toss up to be together early in the New Year's Eve!
Really want to say, in fact, this is for their own good!Manchu civil and military should be grateful!
So he nodded slightly: "Since that's the case, let's change it. It just so happens that ministers and foreign envoys can watch all kinds of novel programs of my big week!"

This can also be regarded as a means of cultural propaganda. For those foreigners, they should have a deeper evaluation of Da Zhou's strength after seeing programs such as cross talk sketches.

After all, being able to produce this kind of cultural program means that the country is stable enough, and soft power can also represent the hard power behind it at some point!
