Great Tang princess

There is still a pond in the new Princess Mansion, which occupies almost one-third of the size of the yard.

However, it was divided into two parts, and it used flowing water.

The first part is made into a swimming pool, and the north balconies of all the rooms in the back are on the water.

In hot summer, you can jump into the water directly from the balcony, and sit on the balcony and feel the cool breeze blowing from the water.

The easternmost corridor is a pond dedicated to fish farming, with a smaller area, purely for a landscape effect.

There is a height difference between the fish pond and the swimming pool, and it is blocked by barbed wire. The swimming pool is upstream.

The key is to make a small waterfall with a few stones on this drop, which looks very beautiful.

The houses at the back are also made of concrete, and the outside looks like a house with a wooden structure, which will not damage the overall beauty.

Each room is equipped with transparent glass windows, and there are hidden metal rails under the wooden window frames, which can be pushed and pulled to open the windows.

It can be said that all the houses here, viewed from the inside, are completely futuristic.

The entire Princess Mansion is a combination of top-notch Chinese-style gardens and futuristic styles, but there is no sense of disobedience at all. On the contrary, after entering, I feel very comfortable in every place.

It has to be said that this is the power of the top craftsmen of this era.

And it's not just that, this sense of the future is not just about the decoration style.

In the back yard, at the end of the martial arts arena, two ceramic pipes can be seen laying next to the water inlet of the swimming pool.

Because of the advancement of industry now, there are naturally more other equipment, the simplest is the water pump.

The current Princess Mansion has running water.

And it's not the kind of bucket that is enlarged on the roof, it is pumped directly from the river that passes through the Princess Mansion.

The bathroom was also replaced with a ceramic toilet, which was transported to the already built fertilizer treatment plant through a dedicated sewer pipe.

It's just that Li Yuechen doesn't like sitting toilets, so the princess mansion uses squatting toilets.

This sewer pipe is a cement pipe made of cement mixed with bamboo reinforcement. After drying in the shade, it is buried in the ground. It should be able to be used for decades without any problem.

It can be said that this new princess mansion is much more comfortable than the palace.

Now even in the Daming Palace, there are no such things as flush toilets and sewer pipes.

This day is much more comfortable than that of the emperor.

After reading the whole thing, Li Yuechen nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction.

Although it is somewhat exaggerated, but no matter how you say it, she is still the princess of a country, so it doesn't matter.

The next day, Li Yuechen brought a camera, took Shangguan Wan'er, two older sisters and sister-in-law Pei Qingwan and started taking pictures everywhere.

There are scenery everywhere in the princess mansion, and it will be a blockbuster if you take a random shot.

After a few days of shooting, a lot of black and white photos were archived.

After adapting to the new house for a few days, Li Yuechen didn't go out.

On the third day of February, the emperor's motorcade went out of the palace to participate in the spring plowing ceremony.

After returning, the next day, Li Xian called Li Yuechen and asked her to come to the palace.

So Li Yuechen came to Daming Palace and entered Xianju Palace.

Xianju Hall is on the edge of Taiye Pond, which is considered to be a place with excellent scenery in Daming Palace.

After Li Xian came back, he often lived here, living and working properly.

Entering the hall, Li Yuechen saw that his nephew Li Chongrun was also here, and thought that he had asked her to come over to do some chores.

However, Li Xian said, "I received a request from Fushu Kingdom for help. I don't know much about it. Run'er is also here. Let's talk about it."

"Fushuo Kingdom? What's the situation?" Li Yuechen looked suspicious.

Fufu Kingdom is a neighbor of Dashi Kingdom, but the relationship with Datang should be a little bit distant, after all, the journey is too far away.

The two sides have been having conflicts all year round, and they would fight from time to time. Li Yuechen is also aware of this.

On the whole, the national strength of the Fufu Kingdom is much weaker than that of the Great Food Kingdom, but after so many years, the Great Food Kingdom has not been able to do anything to them.

Li Chongrun said: "A few days ago, the envoys from the Fusu Kingdom arrived in the Western Regions and asked Yanqi to send troops to escort them to the Tang Dynasty. Then Yanqi sent his own airship to Xianyang Airport at Yinshi today, and sent a car to pick them up this morning. He is here. He said that he is about to be unable to withstand the attack of the Great Food Kingdom, so he begged me to send troops from the Tang Dynasty to help..."

While listening to his nephew's explanation, he flipped through some documents and checked, and Li Yuechen had a general understanding of the current situation.

Fufu is what the Tang side called them. According to their own words, they should be called Byzantium.

However, according to the information that Li Yuechen looked through, the current Byzantium should have serious civil strife.

Coupled with the occasional frictions in the Great Food Kingdom over the years, their life should not be easy now.

Fortunately, the capital and several surrounding ports have not fallen, so they can still support it.

The capital of Byzantium is called the city of Constantine, which seems to be named after the founding emperor Taizu on their side.

There should be two reasons why the Great Food Kingdom has been unable to attack it for a long time these years.

The first is its special geographical location. Li Yuechen checked the map and found that the north and south sides of this place are the sea, and the east and west sides are straight and narrow paths.

It can be said that this is an excellent geographical location where one man is in control and ten thousand is not open.

As long as the city gate is not broken, no matter how many people come, they will not be afraid.

Secondly, it is a mysterious weapon, called Greek fire by the locals, which can ignite a large number of enemy troops...

But in Li Yuechen's opinion, this should be an incendiary bomb made of oil.

Previously, it was because of these reasons that the Great Food Kingdom could not be defeated.

But it's different now, Datang sold them the airship!

Although there are only two finished airships and no other weapons, being able to fly into the sky is already a dimensionality reduction blow in this era!
They took to the sky in airships and stoned them over the city of Constantine, causing great casualties.

And their weapon called Greek fire doesn't work at all in front of the airship.

As soon as this kind of thing appeared, the people over there were almost scared to death, thinking that it was a punishment from the gods.

Thanks to the fact that they also sent envoys to engage in diplomacy with Datang, they knew that it was invented by Datang.

When they sold the airship before, they also wanted to buy it, but considering that they had no money for the time being, they thought about buying it after a while.

As a result, the retribution is coming now. As soon as the two airships from Dashi are delivered, they are immediately used to beat them.

That's why I came here to ask Datang for help now.

After listening to his nephew's explanation, Li Yuechen's information is almost ready.

Then he picked up the cup and took a few sips of tea, and Li Chongrun brought some tea for her.

"Auntie, do you want to help with this matter?"

"Don't ask me, you are the minister of the Ministry of War! And you are the future emperor, you have to learn to make decisions on your own!"

Li Chongrun nodded: "Okay, I will hold a meeting of the Ministry of War to discuss it. Grandpa also ask the cabinet to discuss it, and we will talk about it at that time."

"Okay." Li Xian nodded and agreed.

He really doesn't understand this aspect, so he can only let professionals like them think about it.

So Li Chongrun borrowed Li Xian's phone number to call the military department first, told them that they were going to have a meeting, and left in a hurry.

After his son left, Li Xian asked, "Honestly, what do you think?"

Li Yuechen shook his head: "I can't help, the journey is too far!"

It all went to Europe. Even if there are cars now, it will take a long time to transport soldiers there.

Not to mention things like food and grass, the front line is so long, it is not good for the war.

Besides, as the old saying goes, costs and benefits must be considered in war.

Helping them fight this battle means being hostile to Dashi. Overall, there is no benefit at all.

Now that Datang is getting closer and closer to Dashi, especially since they still have their own land and oil refinery, unless there are greater interests than this, it is not necessary at all.

After finishing speaking, Li Yuechen left directly.

Now I have seen the response from my nephew Li Chongrun, but Li Yuechen believes that with the current capabilities of the Ministry of War, it is impossible to draw a conclusion of fighting.

However, in fact, on the way to the Ministry of War, Li Chongrun was more inclined not to fight.

He is not stupid, there is absolutely no need to fight, and it is a waste of time to help them.

And in Li Chongrun's view, Dashi used the airship to destroy Futu, which is still good for Datang.

After all, in this way, European countries will definitely find a way to buy it after seeing the horror of the airship.

In this way, Datang's airships can be sold a lot more, and this is all real money!
Nowadays, the cost of an airship is about 50, and the selling price is [-], which is ten times the profit. Any fool knows how to choose this matter.

This kind of business with excess profits is naturally done as much as possible.

When I went to the Ministry of War for a meeting, I also wanted to listen to other people's opinions to see if there were any angles or omissions that I didn't expect.

……

After Li Yuechen left the palace, he didn't think about it any more. Seeing that the winter vacation was coming to an end, it was better to prepare for the issue of continuing to go to school.

As for this matter, there will be a result after three days. Whether it is the Ministry of War or the cabinet, most voices support not to fight. It is really unnecessary.

There is also a part of the voice that doesn't matter, anyway, my Tang Dynasty's combat power is so high now, it doesn't matter if I fight or not.

But none of them supported it, because it was unnecessary and not worth it.

So Li Xian said solemnly to Fusu's envoy: "It's not that I don't want to help with this matter, the main reason is that the journey is so far away that it's too late! But in case you can't beat him, if the king escapes to Datang, I can help you." Provide shelter..."

By the way, he also made a condemnation of Dashi, saying that everyone can sit down and talk about things, everyone is a civilized person, try not to do anything...

Dashi said that he understood that what the Emperor of Tang Dynasty said was right, and then accelerated the pace of attack!
But that's all for later...

At the beginning of March, on a Saturday, Li Chongrun came to the Princess Mansion and begged to see Li Yuechen.

Li Yuechen poured him a cup of tea and received him in the main hall.

"Now that your mother-in-law is about to give birth, why are you here with me if you aren't with me in the East Palace?"

"Auntie, my nephew has an idea, I want my aunt to see it!" Li Chongrun handed over the paper in his hand.

Li Yuechen took it over and opened it, and raised his eyebrows. This thing is very familiar!

Li Chongrun explained from the side: "Auntie, I found that the track that transports the artillery travels more smoothly than the tires on the rough road. Now there is an engine. If you want to make a car with an iron shell, use the track and add Artillery, isn't it..."

"Good guy, you are talented, you even figured out a tank!" Li Yuechen praised with a smile.

"Tank? Did my aunt think about it too?" Li Chongrun asked back.

"To be honest, your idea is good, but it's not mature now." Li Yuechen smiled.

"Why?" Li Chongrun said he didn't understand.

"Now the power is really no problem, it can be done. The problem is that the shell needs to be loaded from the muzzle, and the accuracy of the current artillery is not high enough. To successfully make it, you need the blessing of the rear loading gun and the rifling..."

Li Chongrun had a puzzled expression: "I probably understand the breech loading of the gun, that is, to load the shell into the back of the barrel, right? What is the rifling?"

Li Yuechen raised his hand and patted his shoulder lightly: "This thing, you will understand in the future, the world does not need this thing...but armored vehicles can be considered."

Although she felt that the tanks were immature and not yet needed, but if they didn't install artillery, just making iron-clad vehicles would still be of great use today.

At least if these things are lined up on the battlefield, they can break up the enemy's formation in an instant and break through several blood paths.

It can be said that being able to tear through the enemy's line of defense unscathed is the best tool for rushing into battle.

In normal times, it can also be used to transport water, food and various military supplies on the battlefield.

This thing shuttles across the battlefield, not to mention bows and arrows, even bed crossbows are not afraid of it.

So after Li Yuechen removed the gun barrel from the blueprint, he asked Li Chongrun to study this aspect first.

After hearing her words, Li Chongrun thought about it, so he discussed with his aunt.

At this moment, Xiaodong suddenly came in: "Your Highness, someone from the Engineering Academy is here to see you!"

"come in!"

Xiaodong agreed, went outside and brought the person in, and came to the main hall.

The one who came was an apprentice in his early 20s, and immediately saluted after entering: "I have seen His Royal Highness! I have seen..."

"Forget it, just tell me, what's the matter?" Li Yuechen asked.

The apprentice replied respectfully: "Your Highness, the light bulb experiment was successful. Dean Pei said that he hoped that His Highness would take time to take a look..."

"Oh? This is good news!" Li Yuechen smiled, stood up and patted his nephew on the shoulder: "Let's go! Let's go and see together!"

So Yiluoru was in charge of driving, Xiaodong sat in the co-pilot, and the aunt and nephew sat in the back, and went straight to the engineering institute.

Other guards rode motorcycles and protected around the car.

In the car, Li Chongrun asked curiously, "Auntie, what is this light bulb?"

"You will know when you go. If this thing is made, I will no longer be afraid of the dark in the future!" Li Yuechen replied with a smile.

Yesterday was a day off.
