Great Tang princess

Chapter 811 Guards
In the end, Li Xian agreed to Li Yuechen's arrangement.

Just like what he said, now Li Yuechen is the real emperor, so she can handle all the things that he can't figure out.

Anyway, if she didn't have a solution, she would abdicate overnight without saying a word, so she wouldn't bother to take care of this mess!

Of course, Li Yuechen didn't want his brother to show off too badly, so he could only solve it by himself.

Such a method is not bad, since the idea of ​​abolishing slavery, the eunuch will become history and disappear completely sooner or later.

It just so happens that this can be regarded as the beginning, an experiment can be done in the palace to see if the maid can perfectly replace the eunuch.

The most fundamental reason for the appearance of eunuchs in the palace is that the emperor's harem is too large.

Some women enter the palace in name and are the emperor's women, but in reality, they may never see the emperor in their entire lives.

In the huge harem, many women were completely forgotten after seeing the emperor once.

In this case, you will naturally feel lonely, and it is easy to have the behavior of cheating.

Therefore, fertile men cannot appear in the emperor's harem, not to mention the filthy royal blood, which will also cause the royal family to lose face.

But it just so happens that men are needed to do the work in the palace, after all some physical work is not suitable for women.

So the group of eunuchs gradually entered the stage of history, with the physical fitness of men, but no fertility.

If you have no offspring, you will be alone, and you will have no one to rely on when you get old.In order to live a better life, he could only follow his master wholeheartedly.

Most eunuchs are very greedy for money, the main reason is that apart from money, there is nothing else that makes them feel alive.

And because there are no descendants, if you want someone to serve you when you get old, you have to find a way to make money.

This is one of the reasons why eunuchs are greedy for money.

Since coming to this era, Li Yuechen has made up a lot of history.

Seeing the rebellion of the ten permanent attendants in the Han Dynasty, and vaguely remembering the famous Nine Thousand Years in the Ming Dynasty, I really don't want to see the same eunuch chaos in this era.

Therefore, reforms in this area are imperative, let's start with the next emperor first.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll go to the inner guard camp and pick out the guard team for the future." Li Yuechen waved his hand and took care of this matter.

Now that Li Chongrun is no longer in the army, there must be at least a guard of no less than 30 people around him to protect him around the clock.

Of course, you don’t need to follow so many around you at ordinary times. What I’m talking about here is the overall number.

The other thing is to have a secretary who will take on the duties of the future Ouchi manager. You need to find someone who is smart and educated.

……

After confirming these things, after lunch, Li Yuechen got up and left.

After going to the Engineering Academy in the afternoon to have a look at the progress of the internal combustion engine, I returned to the Princess Mansion in the evening.

After returning home, she happened to see Shangguan Wan'er chatting with her two sisters and sister-in-law in the main hall.

"Your Highness is back, please sit down and drink some tea." Shangguan Wan'er greeted her while brewing a cup of tea and handing it over.

"Well, speaking of it, since Wan'er entered the Ministry of Punishment, she came back much earlier." Li Yuechen said with a smile.

During the time when she was a Fengge Sheren, she could only come back almost every day around Xu time.

It's different now, basically I can go back to the Princess Mansion for dinner every day, and I seldom work overtime.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "Thanks to the change to the rule of law, most cases have clear regulations and are relatively easy to solve. Besides, now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the incidence of vicious cases is gradually decreasing."

"Sigh, the Ministry of Punishment is still comfortable, unlike the Ministry of Households, which is about to get busy." Princess Xuancheng sighed exaggeratedly.

"Sister, you are only busy with these days every year, so don't bother about it." Li Yuechen couldn't help laughing.

Princess Yiyang glanced at her: "Chen'er doesn't need to talk to her, it's on purpose."

Facing her sister's lesson, Princess Xuancheng raised her eyebrows helplessly, and propped her chin with both hands and cut it lightly.

This appearance made Li Yuechen couldn't help laughing. After so many years, when he was with them, it always felt as if time had never flowed.

But perhaps it is this kind of atmosphere that makes her prefer to stay at home in this era.

"Speaking of which, His Highness came back today covered in sweat, and seems to have traveled a lot." Pei Qingwan said.

This sister-in-law lives up to her name, she has always been gentle, and whenever she speaks, she always feels like a big sister next door.

"Ah, I took a trip to the palace, and I don't like to ride a car. I rode a horse by myself and sweated a little." Li Yuechen explained, "Speaking of which, I have to go to the inner guard tomorrow to arrange guards for Run'er..."

Speaking of this, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and was slightly taken aback: "Speaking of which, it's almost time for the guards around me to change..."

The guards around Li Yuechen were the first batch of female soldiers, and they had been by her side for several years.

Now that they are almost young enough to fall in love, Li Yuechen feels that it is almost time for them to arrange retirement.

After all, women are no better than men, although they also have alternate holidays on weekdays.

But after all, a woman has to have a baby after she gets married. After giving birth, her physical fitness will drop significantly, so it is not suitable to continue to serve as a guard by her side.

What's more, if you have children, you should still focus on your family. After all, the army is relatively busy, and I am afraid that you don't have time to take care of your family.

Of course, from Li Yuechen's point of view, it's okay for a wife serving as a soldier and her husband to take care of the children at home.

But the problem is that in this era, this is very problematic, and it is easy to be pointed out and gossip.

"How about talking to them tomorrow." Li Yuechen said to himself.

……

Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Yuechen woke up under the action of his biological clock.

As usual, she took the gauze and wrapped it around her chest, and Shangguan Wan'er beside her also opened her eyes.

Then he turned sideways and raised one hand to support his head: "Why does Your Highness still use this thing?"

In fact, underwear was made, and most women in the upper class are already using it today.

But Li Yuechen didn't use it all the time.

Of course there is a reason for this, the main reason is that she has to get up every morning to practice, not only practicing yoga to maintain body flexibility, but also practicing martial arts to maintain strength and physical fitness.

In addition, she has a special constitution, so she exercises a lot every day, which can be regarded as strenuous exercise.

In this case, wearing ordinary underwear, it will shake violently.

So Li Yuechen hasn't worn underwear these years, and has always been wrapped in gauze.

The difference is that it will be slightly tighter during exercise, and looser in the afternoon after exercise, just hold it up.

"Wearing that will hurt when you move, but gauze is better." Li Yuechen explained with a smile.

As usual, after taking Shangguan Wan'er and the others to practice yoga, they each went to work, while Li Yuechen came to the yard with weapons to continue practicing.

It was not until Sishi, when the exercise was over, that Li Yuechen went to wash up and prepare for lunch.

Shangguan Wan'er and the others don't need to worry about it. The court takes care of lunch, so they eat alone.

After lunch, when the sun was scorching, Li Yuechen was processing documents at home.

After three o'clock, the sun was no longer scorching, so he got up and went out to the inner guard camp.

Today's Inner Guard Battalion is located in the Imperial City, which was the former Beiya Forbidden Army, and people still call them that.

The name Royal Internal Guard is usually called that in official documents.

The main reason is that most of today's courtiers are still old men in the old days, and this situation may not change until young people are promoted.

……

When the conspicuous red figure entered the inner guard camp, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Linghu Zhitong, who has now become the commander of the internal guards, hurried over to salute: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

"Excuse me! Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Li Yuechen greeted with a smile.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for several years. Your Highness is still youthful, but this subordinate's hair is mostly gray!" Linghu Zhitong replied.

Li Yuechen waved his hand: "All right, all right, make me look like a monster."

"My subordinates dare not!"

Seeing his slightly terrified appearance, Li Yuechen didn't continue to dwell on this topic.

Although Linghu Zhitong can be considered literate, his culture is obviously not very good.

You can say that I am in the prime of life, what the hell is youth.

Although it is true that the appearance is more than ten years younger than the actual age, this statement is indeed a bit problematic.

"I came here today to pick some guards for the eldest prince, you don't have to follow."

"Yes!" Linghu Zhitong agreed.

Although he is indeed the commander of the internal guards, the affairs of the female soldiers are not under his control, which is regarded as a separate system.

The male soldiers in the inner guard are mainly responsible for the safety of the imperial city, and all the female soldiers in the harem, including the emperor's personal bodyguards.

After all, after muskets came out, the physical gap between men and women was already negligible.

……

After the inner guard selected [-] people, Li Yuechen arranged for them to go to Li Chongrun's mansion by themselves, but she did not go there in person.

There is still something to go to the Engineering Academy in a while, to see if they have prepared the test items.

Then he got on his horse and walked slowly towards the engineering institute.

On the way, she suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, how old are you, Xiaoru?"

When Yiluoru heard asking herself, she immediately replied: "Return to Your Highness, this subordinate is nineteen this year."

"Well, 19 years old... don't you plan to retire?" Li Yuechen asked.

Yi Luoru was slightly taken aback, and then asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is wrong with this subordinate?"

"Huh? Who said you made a mistake?" Li Yuechen asked back, and then immediately reacted, "Ah, don't get me wrong. I didn't want to drive you away. The main thing is that you are at your age, so it's time to consider starting a family, right?"

"Becoming a family... This subordinate has never thought about it." Yiluoru replied, "But there are holidays on weekdays, why not just find a suitable man in the army."

Hearing her answer, Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows: "Although it's not very good for me to say this, but you have to understand that no matter what era, people in the army are generally rough. If you want to find A thoughtful man who will take care of you, I am afraid there is no suitable man in the army."

In the words of the future, the army is basically straight men.

Although Li Yuechen has not personally experienced the future military camp, he knows many veterans, all of whom are straight men of steel, without exception!

"Your subordinates have their own abilities, so why do you need a man to take care of them?" Yiluoru replied, "Your Highness, please allow your subordinates to continue to accompany you. When you meet a suitable person, you will take the initiative to ask Your Highness to resign!"

"Well, since you have said so. But after you go back, let's have a good chat with them. After all, they are of this age. If you want to get married, don't stop them. When the time comes, sign the confidentiality agreement and receive the retirement fee. Then Go back and get married." Li Yuechen said.

"Yes! The subordinate sisters thank His Highness for your kindness!" Yiluoru replied respectfully.

This sentence is definitely from the heart. Li Yuechen bought this group of children back then with money.

If it weren't for the princess, I'm afraid she would have been reduced to a slave, and she would never be able to stand up for the rest of her life.

How can it be like today, eat well and drink well in the army, pay back the money when you are old, get married and start a family after retiring from the army.

This means that you can be a benefactor, have a normal life, and start your own family.

For them, it is not an exaggeration to say that the princess' kindness is like reborn parents.

So she said that thank you is not a polite word, but a heartfelt word from the heart.

Li Yuechen nodded and smiled slightly.

I secretly thought in my heart, I hope these children can become witnesses of the country getting better and better.

……

When he arrived at the Engineering Academy, Pei Bishu immediately greeted him.

After a few words of politeness, he reported to Li Yuechen: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the hemisphere has been finished, but the rubber ring and water pump will have to wait for a few more days."

This water pump is a bit like the pump of the future. It is not difficult to make, but the current rubber technology is not yet mature, and it will take a few days for it to work.

"Ah That's good."

"However, Your Highness, it's just this cue, and I still don't know much about it. Please ask Your Highness to clarify..."

Li Yuechen agreed, followed him to the laboratory, and explained the various differences to the apprentices who were in charge of making the clubs.

In fact, golf clubs are quite complicated and can be roughly divided into woods, irons, chips and putters.

The wood is used to drive the ball, and it is also the longest of all the clubs. It also appears on many TVs. It is the kind of big head club.

The main purpose is to hit the ball as far as possible, and they are all wooden at first, so they are called woods.

Woods are divided into numbers one to five.Except for the driver, which is used to drive the ball, the rest are called fairway woods, which are mainly used to hit the ball on the fairway.

Irons are roughly divided into numbers one to nine, the smaller the number, the longer the shaft and the smaller the angle.

The cutting rod and the iron rod are similar in length, but the shape of the head is different, the inclination angle is larger than that of the iron rod, and the head angle is mostly between 52 and [-].

The main purpose of this club is to hit the ball onto the green and stop quickly.

In addition, if you are in a bunker, you need to let the ball fly as high as possible to jump out of the bunker.

As for putters, they are generally the clubs that golfers change most frequently. They are probably in the shape of a font, trapezoid or even a horn...

The main function, of course, is to push the ball into the hole at the end.

Listening to Li Yuechen's explanation, Pei Bieshu couldn't help thinking: "With so many cue sticks for playing a game, can you make a lot of money just by selling the cue sticks?"
