Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Several days passed.

The imperial decree to abolish Li Chengqian's crown prince was issued.

During the whole process, Li Chengqian didn't show his face at all, and didn't show any resistance.

It's just that on the day the imperial decree was issued, he moved out of the East Palace and showed his face in a palace in Chang'an City.

Then, a piece of news came back, which reduced the discussion of Li Chengqian.

That is, Lingnan was successful in suppressing the chaos, and the army has returned.

It was a few days later.

The army finally returned.

Fang Yuan and others gathered at the gate of the city to welcome Xue Bowu and others back.

Under the attention of all the people, Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, rode a horse and walked in the front.

Behind them are some generals, and then Li Danqiu and Qin Huaiyu and others.

Among them, there was even Xue Bowu.

When Xue Bowu followed him, he was just an ordinary young general, not even a young general.

"Brother, it's my brother!"

"Fang Yuan, my younger brother is promising!"

Xue Jiaoyan was the happiest.

Although she doesn't understand war, she understands that it must be a great contribution to be able to be in such an advanced team after returning triumphantly.

"Congratulations."

Fang Yuan smiled knowingly.

Sure enough, he saw Xue Bowu right.

This person is a natural general, as long as he goes to the battlefield, he will shine.

Compared with several months, Xue Bowu looked much darker and more mature.

"Welcome heroes!"

"Welcome heroes!"

"Welcome heroes!"

Those who greeted began to cheer.

The sound wave after wave can be heard throughout Chang'an City.

Not all the troops enter the city, but only those at the leadership level enter the city.

Except for Hou Junji and a few generals who need to go to the Ministry of War to report on their duties, the others can go home when they arrive at a reception point.

"younger brother!"

Xue Bowu just stopped.

Xue Jiaoyan rushed towards him.

I thought the siblings would have a warm hug.

But no one thought that when Xue Jiaoyan ran in front of Xue Bowu, she jumped up and knocked Xue Bowu hard on the head.

"Sister, it hurts."

Xue Bowu immediately covered his head with his hands, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

"Just come back!"

Xue Jiaoyan's eyes became red.

Standing aside, he looked at Xue Bowu with admiration.

"Bo Wu, welcome back."

Fang Yuan and others also came over to welcome Xue Bowu back.

Among so many people, Fang Yuan has a lot of people to welcome, but except for the Li family siblings, everyone else is welcome.

However, the siblings of the Li family have not yet registered any information, and all the listings have not yet gone to the two of them.

"hehe thanks."

Xue Bowu said a little shyly.

"Fang Yuan, have you been promoted?"

Suddenly, Youdao's surprised voice sounded.

Xunsheng looked over, it was Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo.

But not only the two of them came to Fang Yuan, but also their family members.

"Are you going to be promoted too?"

Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

A big hug came with both of them.

"You're rising so fast, we're both going to be jealous of you."

Qin Huaiyu's tone was a little sour.

When I first met Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan was just a governor of a small place.

Then he was promoted to the county magistrate of Chang'an County, and now he is the household servant of the fourth rank.

One more step, and you'll be almost an extremely human minister!

It's hard not to be jealous of such a fast promotion.

"It's just luck."

"It's not as real as your real swords and guns."

Fang Yuan said modestly.

"Luck is also a kind of strength."

"Let's go home first, and get together when we have time."

Qin Huaiyu said solemnly.

After bidding farewell to Cheng Chumo, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan, they left.

"That Qin Huaiyu shined in this Lingnan battle and killed more people than me."

Xue Bowu said suddenly.

Looking at Qin Huaiyu's back, he rarely showed a face-on look.

"normal."

Fang Yuan was a little surprised.

But it doesn't feel unacceptable.

It is rumored that Qin Qiong is currently the number one fighter.

But because his relationship with Li Shimin is not very good, and he has many injuries, he rarely shows up.

His son Qin Huaiyu has obtained his true biography, so it is not difficult to kill the enemy in battle.

The battlefield does not rely on brute force, but tricks.

Afterwards, Fang Yuan noticed Li Danqiu siblings walking out from the registration side.

"Let's go, let's meet Li Danqiu and his brother."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

"Ok."

Du Miaoyan nodded.

Walking side by side with Fang Yuan towards Li Danqiu siblings.

"Let's go, let's go too."

Hongxu Qingyao agreed.

So Xue Jiaoyan and her brother stopped talking about the past and walked towards Li Danqiu and her brother.

"Li Danqiu, Li Siwen, welcome back."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"Fang Yuan!"

"Are you coming to pick us up?"

Li Danqiu seemed a little bit lost at first.

But after seeing Fang Yuan, his expression suddenly became much more exciting.

Their siblings had no relatives in Chang'an City, and no one came to pick them up.

I didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but I was a little disappointed when I saw that everyone else had someone to pick it up, but my siblings didn't.

"Or else?"

"Come on, come back to the mansion with me, we have prepared a reception banquet for you."

Fang Yuan smiled enthusiastically.

"You are righteous."

Li Danqiu smiled even more happily.

Li Siwen also showed a happy smile.

Immediately, as they walked and chatted, they mentioned Xue Bowu.

"Fang Yuan, let me tell you, your bodyguard is not human at all on the battlefield."

"When he kills people, it's like cutting vegetables and melons. Except for Qin Huaiyu, he kills the most people."

"You don't even know, he has a nickname on the enemy's side, called the melon butcher!"

Li Danqiu pointed to Xue Bowu who was beside him and said.

His eyes were still full of shock, full of shock.

Li Siwen also nodded deeply, admiring Xue Bowu extremely.

"The vegetable melon butcher?!"

Fang Yuan and the others were a little surprised.

Xue Jiaoyan laughed even more, feeling ridiculous at this title.

Xue Bowu didn't speak, just scratched his head embarrassingly and smiled politely.

"Yes, all the killing made the other party terrified."

"If it weren't for General Hou to persuade those who are not real enemies, he might have killed more happily."

Li Danqiu nodded in agreement.

At the beginning, Tang Jun fought the enemy bravely.

The winning rate in the following battlefields is very high, so Tang Jun is a little bit patient.

In Hou Junji's words, the people in Lingnan are all their own people, so they don't need to be too crazy to kill people.

So the war slowed down a little bit, and finally Lingnan surrendered, put down the chaos, and then came back.

"You two are also very good."

Xue Bowu finally spoke.

But he is not good at words, so he only needs these two sentences.

In fact, the Li Danqiu siblings also performed very well on the battlefield.

Apart from not being as outstanding as Qin Huaiyu and Xue Bowu, they are also the two more powerful young people.

After all, his father was Li Ji, and he had been on the battlefield again, and there was no difficulty at all in a decisive battle with the Lingnan rebels.

Not long after, everyone returned to Fangfu.

The Fang Mansion has prepared a banquet to welcome Xue Bowu and Li Danqiu's siblings back.

This night, Li Danqiu and his sister lived in Fangfu.

The three of them mentioned a lot about the situation in Lingnan.

Said that it was barren, there were many mountains and forests, and the education was poor, etc.

This night, everyone ate until very late before closing the channel.

"Husband, how do you see that you are very interested in Lingnan?"

Du Miaoyan snuggled into Fang Yuan's arms and asked softly.

Tonight, Fang Yuan mainly asked about Lingnan's situation.

Religion, culture, education and so on.

"It's by the sea over there."

"If sailing is to be developed, the location over there is very good."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

In fact, Fang Yuan before crossing was from Lingnan.

So I have a soft spot for Lingnan, and even want to go back and have a look.

But now Lingnan seems to be quite wild, and I'm afraid it's hard to guarantee safety when I go back.

"Husband wants to develop sailing?"

Du Miaoyan was a little surprised.

Fang Yuan has quite a lot of property in his hands.

Every industry is actually developing now.

Not many people pay attention, after all, Fang Yuan is now the Minister of the Household Department, the light is too bright.

But if you look carefully, you will find that each industry under Fang Yuan is developing rapidly, and new products will be launched every time.

"Just thinking about the future."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

The future is to promote the product to the world.

But that's in the future, and when in the future, I don't know yet.

The husband and wife talked softly and talked for a long time before falling asleep.

The next day.

Sun Simiao wanted to visit the Mohist Academy.

So Fang Yuan deliberately asked for leave, and took Sun Simiao to the Mohist Research Institute.

Li Danqiu didn't know how he knew it, and wanted to follow him even though he was making a noise.

So the three of them set off and hurried to the Mohist Research Institute.

With Fang Yuan personally leading, passing is not a problem.

"Let's go up to the ninth floor first."

Fang Yuan said bluntly.

Take the two of you and take the manual elevator up.

"What's this called?"

"It's so convenient to go up?"

The first time Sun Simiao took a manual elevator, he was immediately shocked.

"This is a manual elevator."

"Achieved by combining the Mohist mechanism."

"Now I'm researching a new technology, and I don't even need to move my hands after success."

Fang Yuan explained.

"awesome!"

"I didn't expect it to be like this."

Sun Simiao sighed.

The ten-story Star Observation Building has already made him sigh how the floors can be built so high.

Now that there is this kind of manual elevator again, Sun Simiao feels that the Mohist Research Institute is extraordinary.

Not long after, Fang Yuan and the others stayed on the ninth floor.

The ninth floor is the most mysterious place of the Mohist Academy.

The elevator stops and needs another key to get in and out.

The elevator door opened, and there were two security guards at the door.

"This layer is the secret of the Mohist Research Institute."

"The most confidential things are researched here first."

Fang Yuan explained.

It mainly stores drafts of various principles and so on.

There are also some initial prototypes of technology, which are all started here for the first step.

"Fang Yuan, why are you here?"

Juzi received the report and came over.

"Bring Dr. Sun over to have a look."

Fang Yuan explained to the giant.

The giant has been at the Mohist Research Institute these days and has not returned home.

So he has not met Sun Simiao yet, but only knows that Fangfu has this guest.

"You are the medicine king Sun Simiao?"

The giant's eyes widened immediately.

People of their generation have all heard of the king of medicine, Sun Simiao.

"it's me."

Sun Simiao smiled.

He is used to being exclaimed.

So he didn't care much about Juzi's surprise.

"It's unimaginable that I actually saw a real person."

The giant said excitedly.

"I'll have a chance to meet you in the future."

"Juzi, lead the way and introduce our technology to Dr. Sun."

"Whether I can keep Dr. Sun in our Mohist Research Institute depends on this time."

Fang Yuan said solemnly.

Having said that, Fang Yuan has great confidence in the Mohist Academy.

There are many things here, which are epoch-making ideas, many of which were proposed by Fang Yuan.

Some already have models, and some are still under study, but the vitality shown by the Mohist Research Institute is unique in the world.

"Okay, okay, please follow me!"

The giant was taken aback for a moment, then said excitedly.

He walked in front, and briefly introduced to Sun Simiao that the Mohist Academy could build a ten-story structure.

Not long after, Juzi led the crowd to a gigantic machine, the size of several people.

In front of the machine, there were a few wearing white coats, holding banknotes and studying, they just nodded when they saw Fang Yuan coming.

"Is this all iron?"

"Why so smooth and shiny?"

Sun Simiao was shocked again when he saw the machine.

The material looks similar to those of his "scalpels".

But he remembered that his batch of "scalpels" were all made of special meteorites, which are rare in the outside world.

Not only is it rare now, but there is also a huge one in front of my eyes.

"It's called a steam engine, and we made it out of steel."

"Steel is actually a kind of pig iron, but we have purified the carbon in it."

"I don't really understand what carbon is now, the principle is what Fang Yuan said."

The giant explained.

With that said, he patted the steam engine hard.

It just rang, and the sound was crisp and pleasant.

"steel."

"What's the use of this thing?"

Sun Simiao murmured.

He was shocked, and his hands trembled slightly as he stroked the steam engine.

In terms of material, this feeling is very similar to my own "scalpel".

Unexpectedly, I thought that there were a few things in the world that I could make by myself at the Mohist Research Institute.

"According to Fang Yuan, if it succeeds, it can replace people to work."

The giant's expression became serious.

He directed the few people present to make fire and pour water.

After the water boiled, Neat slowly pushed the machine inside, and at the other end of Neat there were two steels moving back and forth.

The giant disassembled the steel plate on one side of the steam engine, revealing the tight instruments inside.

"If we add water to a fire, the water vapor will move the machinery inside."

"After the machine moves, the force will eventually act on these two steels, and these two steels can be used to push objects."

"But now I don't know which link is not done well. Our efforts are very small, and it cannot be regarded as a success. We need to continue to study."

"If it succeeds, we can replace these two pieces of steel with other things, put two wheels, maybe it can replace the carriage and so on."

Juzi seems to exude a scientific spirit.

His eyes lit up when he lifted the steam engine.

For research, Juzi is a natural liking and is willing to contribute his life to scientific research.

"It's still like this?!"

Sun Simiao couldn't believe it.

But he believed in Fang Yuan, and he could see that this steam engine really had that function.

So what Juzi said should be true, there will really be such a miraculous thing.

"This is a half-layer product, but it has been devoted to the efforts of everyone in our Mohist Research Institute."

"I'll take you to see the fire gun, it can be said to be a success."

The giant walked to one side.
