Great Tang princess

Chapter 82 Manganese Ore

The carriage stopped at the door of Liu Rengui's house, Li Yuechen jumped out of the carriage, and Fulai followed behind.

The doorman at the door immediately bowed and saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness!"

"Excuse me." Li Yuechen raised his hand, raised his leg, stepped over the threshold, and entered the courtyard.

Liu Rengui, who had already received the news, was already waiting in the front yard, and when he saw Li Yuechen coming in, he immediately saluted.

Li Yuechen trotted over to help him up, then turned his head and smiled at Liu Huang next to him: "Excuse me."

Liu Huang raised his head, showing a slightly simple and honest smile: "Has your Highness recovered in the past few days?"

"Almost." Li Yuechen smiled.

"Hey, I'm relieved as long as your Highness is fine." Liu Huang said with a smile.

Liu Rengui slapped him on the shoulder: "Get out and do your own thing!"

"Yes!" Liu Huang, who was slapped, saluted obediently, then turned and left.

But after Liu Rengui turned around, he grinned at his back again, and Li Yuechen just happened to see him.

Li Yuechen smiled slightly at Liu Huang's behavior, turned around and went in with Master.

Liu Huang, who was about to leave, thought he was smiling at him, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked away with small steps.

I punched a few times with Liu Rengui, learned the art of war for a while, and then fought a few rounds on the sand table.

Both the master and the apprentice had a tacit understanding and didn't talk about the things in the past few days.

Li Yuechen really didn't want to ask, so he just pretended that he didn't know.As for Liu Rengui, there is no need to take the initiative to mention it to her.

But the atmosphere between the two is not rigid, but very relaxed. It is completely a picture of a teacher who is kind and apprentice filial piety.

At noon, after having dinner at Master's house, Li Yuechen got up to say goodbye. There are still things to do by himself today.

After leaving Liu Rengui's house, Li Yuechen took a carriage and came to Jixianfang.

After what happened to Li Yuechen two days ago, more soldiers were stationed here just in case.

When Li Yuechen's carriage entered Jixianfang, Wu Da and Wu Gouzi were already waiting here.

Li Yuechen lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, and the father and son quickly saluted respectfully: "I have seen Her Royal Highness."

"No." Li Yuechen raised his hand, "Thank you for saving me."

"This is what Xiao Lao should do, and I dare not ask His Highness to thank you." Wu Da replied.

That's what he said, but he was an old country man after all, he couldn't hide his emotions on his face, and that almost unbearable smile had already betrayed his inner thoughts.

On the other hand, Wu Gouzi next to him looked curiously at Li Yuechen in front of him as if he didn't understand anything.

The last time I saw her, she was still drenched, her eyes were dull, and her lips were pale.

But now, she was wearing a bright red round-neck gown, and the black belt around her waist was inlaid with pieces of glowing jade pendants.

A beautiful face like a porcelain doll has a pair of extremely conspicuous black eyes, and a high ponytail on her head makes her look heroic.

Because the current Li Yuechen has not really started to develop, so if you don't look carefully, you will look like a handsome little boy.

If it wasn't for that face that was too pretty and tender, with the blessing of such a costume, I'm afraid he would really be considered a man.

Seeing a different Li Yuechen, Wu Gouzi boldly asked: "Oh, I didn't expect you to be so good-looking! I didn't see it that day!"

"You bastard! What nonsense are you talking about!" Wu Da quickly slapped his son, saluted in horror and explained, "The child is ignorant, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuechen's mouth. She still liked to see the children's vitality. She waved her hand and said, "No problem! I called you here today to discuss something."

"Your Highness, just give orders!"

Li Yuechen's workshop only occupies a quarter of the place in Jixianfang, and there is a large vacant mansion next to the workshop.

She pointed to the next door and said, "I plan to place the two of you here. You can work in the workshop every day, and I will pay you. Your son will also hire a teacher to teach him how to read and write." In the future, if he succeeds in his studies, he can be recommended as an official in the court. If he fails in his studies, he can also work in this workshop and make him a rich man..."

Speaking of this, Li Yuechen asked Wu Da who was already smiling: "What do you think?"

Wu Da's face burst into a smile, and he knelt down to Li Yuechen and saluted: "Caomin thank Your Highness for the reward!"

As he spoke, he directly forced his son to kneel down and salute her.

Li Yuechen smiled, and raised his hand: "Okay, get up, you are the saviors of this palace, so there is no need to perform such a big gift!"

After Wu Da stood up, he was still thankful. From today on, he is a city resident and no longer needs to live in the village.

Moreover, Li Yuechen was much better than giving money directly this time last time, which basically proved that they had no worries in their lives.

Li Yuechen raised his legs and walked in, beckoned, and roughly introduced to them what the place was for.

Then he reminded: "Although you are a lover and they are slaves, you should not bully them on weekdays, or I will be angry!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Xiao Lao will never do this."

Li Yuechen nodded: "I will come over occasionally to take a look. If there is anything, please let me know when I come over."

"Yes!"

"Come on, it happens to be here today, I'll show you around." Li Yuechen waved his hand.

In fact, she also wanted to take a walk by the way. She didn't practice much in the past few days, and she sat in the carriage all the way, and she always felt uncomfortable.

Wu Gouzi didn't know the rules, and he was very courageous, so he suddenly asked, "Can I hold your hand?"

Hearing this, Fulai next to him immediately had a gloomy expression. If he didn't see that he was still a child, he might have slapped him straight away.

Wu Da was also startled suddenly, and was about to teach him a lesson when Li Yuechen waved his hand.

She carefully looked at the little boy in front of her who was about the same age as herself, and couldn't help showing a smile.

Unexpectedly, the little boy who is only seven or eight years old has already awakened the attributes of LSP. Although his eyes are very clear, there is no hint of obscenity.

But Li Yuechen knew very well that this was something that came with his genes from a young age.

Although she herself didn't mind holding the little boy's hand, she still shook her head: "No!"

"Why?" Wu Gouzi didn't understand.

"You are not my servant, if you touch me casually, you may be killed!" Li Yuechen reminded with a smile.

Then he raised his head and said to Wu Da: "After finishing these things, you should also teach him, so as not to cause trouble outside."

"Yes, Xiao Lao will beat him up tonight!"

"It's not for you to beat him up, but for you to teach him what he can and cannot do." Li Yuechen shook his head helplessly.

After taking them to see the workshop, Li Yuechen saw that the time was almost up, so he planned to go back.

On the carriage back, Li Yuechen suddenly asked, "Grandpa didn't punish you, did he?"

Fulai was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Thank you for your concern, the saint did not punish the slaves."

Li Yuechen nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard to do things for His Highness." Fu Lai shook his head, "It's just that the slaves are also surprised, I didn't expect His Highness to be so good at it."

"Well, at least it's really useful for escaping." Li Yuechen smiled slightly.

Fulai couldn't help but smile too: "That day when I watched His Highness move freely, it was like..."

"Like a monkey?" Li Yuechen said it for him.

"No, the servant just didn't think of a better description for the time being."

……

Time passed day by day, at the end of March, Li Yuechen went to the court to listen to the news as usual.

As soon as I came to the court today, I heard the news: Jiang Ke, the Duke of Yong'an County, died in his tenure!
Hearing this news, Li Yuechen behind the screen couldn't help sighing. To be honest, although she didn't know him well at all, she still liked this black-faced guy quite a bit.

Li Zhi also seemed a little sad, and after a long silence, he gave the order to wait for the coffin to be brought back and be buried in style.

The rest were trivial news, and Li Yuechen didn't listen to it, as if someone from Tubo wanted to send an envoy.

Li Yuechen didn't listen carefully to the things here, turned around and went back to busy with his own affairs.

He has just recuperated for the past few days, either with Li Zhi and his wife or with his older brothers.

Not to mention, these elder brothers are very concerned about themselves, and Li Yuechen sent people to deliver a lot of supplements during his recuperation.

Now that I have just recovered, I went to see Master, and these things have finally stabilized.

He said that he wanted to make a carriage for Li Zhi, and he didn't know if the workers of the craftsman supervisor had been affected in the past few days.

In the afternoon, Li Yuechen went to the craftsman's supervisor, and saw that he was still making it at a leisurely pace, so he nodded secretly.

By the way, observe it from the side.

She is completely trustworthy in the craftsmanship of these craftsmen, but because what they are doing is something they don't know, it seems a little troublesome.

The carpenter and blacksmith were constantly communicating with each other, and the Shangyi Bureau also sent an old tailor to discuss with them on the design drawings.

Seeing Li Yuechen coming, they all came to her and asked some questions.

Li Yuechen also answered them patiently, and at the same time looked at the car body that had already made a rough shape.

Li Yuechen designed this carriage with a seat pattern similar to that of a bus, allowing the whole family to sit on it. Li Zhi and his wife sat in the middle of the back, and several children sat on the sides.

The seat can be swiveled ninety degrees so that a table can be placed in the middle when the car is parked.

At the same time, he went to look at the frame. After thinking about it, Li Yuechen decided to let them try to make leaf springs.

Of course, it is not made of steel, but bamboo. Stacking bamboo pieces should also produce a similar effect.

It's just how strong the effect is... we can only wait for it to be created, and it's hard to say whether it will even succeed.

After listening to her description about the leaf spring, the carpenters patted their chests and said that this thing can be made easily, but they can't say exactly how it will work.

Li Yuechen told them to do it with confidence. It's good if they can do it, but forget it if they can't.

The carpenters said no problem.

After staying in the Jiangzuo Supervisor for more than an hour, Li Yuechen came out and planned to return to Anfu Palace.

At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly came over: "Your Highness, someone outside the imperial city said they were looking for Eunuch Fu."

Li Yuechen nodded: "You go, I'll wait for you here."

"Can……"

"Go!" Li Yuechen smiled, "This is the imperial city, what can I do?"

Fulai thought about it too, so he nodded and said: "Then please wait a moment, Your Majesty, servants will come back as soon as they go."

As he said that, Fulai trotted all the way to the outside of the imperial city, the distance was not too far, only a few hundred meters.

Not long after, Fulai ran back.

Maybe it's because I haven't exercised for a long time, and I'm a little out of breath after running for hundreds of meters.

He raised his hand, revealing a gray-black stone he was holding: "The black stone His Highness mentioned last time, but this one?"

Li Yuechen took it over and identified it, raised his head and asked, "Where did it come from?"

"The slave girl asked Wang Xiang to ask merchants from all over the place to inquire about it, and if there are samples, I will bring them..." Fulai roughly explained.

"how many?"

"Not much, only a dozen yuan, less than twenty catties." Fulai replied.

Li Yuechen nodded: "I'll go back by myself, you can bring it all! By the way, give the businessman a consistent amount of money!"

Fulai was a little puzzled: "Then can we take advantage of the situation and ask him to bring some more?"

"No!" Li Yuechen shook his head, "Introduce me to try it in the next few days, if it works, it's not too late to talk!"

"Here!"

Fulai agreed, turned around and went to Wang Xiang's store.Li Yuechen took the stone back to Anfu Hall.

She has seen manganese ore before, and the one in her hand feels like it, but whether it is... She is not a geologist, so she can't tell it with the naked eye.

But if it is true, it may be possible to create transparent glass!

After returning to Anfu Hall, Li Yuechen sat in the Linbo Pavilion, holding the gray-black stone in his hand and looking at it carefully.

Shangguan Wan'er came over and saw that she was in a daze, so she stood beside her and asked, "Your Highness, what's so special about this stone?"

Li Yuechen shook his head lightly: "Whether there are any, we have to try to find out..."

While speaking, he sat on the fence and swayed his legs, looking very leisurely.

Shangguan Wan'er seemed a little worried: "Your Highness's injury is just right, it's better not to sit here, in case you fall..."

"Don't worry, I'm very good at swimming." Li Yuechen put down the stone in his hand, turned his head and said, "Speaking of which, it's almost summer, and the weather will be hot, how about I teach you how to swim?"

Regarding Li Yuechen's sudden proposal, Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while, then nodded lightly: "Okay!"

After a while, Fulai came back with a big bag.

Li Yuechen opened it and took a look. It felt very similar, but after all, it has been a long time, and his memory is already very blurred.

Whether it will be successful or not, I am not sure, but tomorrow I can take these stones to the colored glaze workshop for the craftsmen to try.

If you can successfully make transparent glass, you can make a few magnifying glasses for yourself.

As long as the magnifying glass is successfully produced, Li Zhi can invest in it and buy this kind of stone. In a long time to come, Datang will become the largest glass manufacturer in the world!
Pure transparent glass is very rare in this era, as long as it appears, it will become a priceless treasure.

However, it is conceivable that if glass can be mass-produced by then, the value will probably become lower and lower, right?

Li Yuechen suddenly realized that he was thinking a little too far, so let's see if he can figure it out first!

　Thanks to [Klarkxy] for the 100 starting coins!
