This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 528 Volume Five Li Chengqian's Surprise
Li Ke took office as Governor of Chang'an and Li Jing returned triumphantly. These are all things that happened in Chang'an. For Li Chengqian, don't say he didn't know, even if he knew, he would just laugh it off.

None of these things mattered to him.

What he cares most about now is Daming's own development.

As for whether Datang's crown prince will be threatened, hehe, he really doesn't care.

Even the Son of Heaven sword bestowed by Li Er was brought back by Duan Lun before.

After all, as long as Daming becomes more and more stable, his position will be unshakable. He still understands this truth.

"Shuyu, take a look at Brother Wei's latest schedule." In the Hall of Talents, Li Chengqian pressed his index finger on his frowning brows and said in a low voice.

Since the last time, Li Chengqian has brought Wei Shuyu by his side. It just so happened that Xiao Yue and Gao Chunxing were released, so he also lacks such a person by his side.

Moreover, Wei Shuyu's homework in the school has indeed reached the point where there is nothing to learn.

After all, as Wei Zheng's eldest son, Chen Sheng's knowledge may not be more solid than Wei Shuyu's.

In front of Wei Shuyu, their only advantage may be their own age.

"Brother." Wei Shuyu immediately rummaged through the table beside him when he heard the words, and after a while, he took out a booklet, opened it and said, "According to the previous arrangement, brother will go out of the palace for a field trip tomorrow morning. The construction of the road by the Ministry of Industry, but this project is just outside Riyue Mountain, and it will build the road between Riyue Mountain and Deyang City, so it won't take long.

After returning to the palace in the afternoon, my elder brother will discuss with the Ministry of War the placement of each army. My elder brother once said that the placement of each army is a top priority and cannot be delayed any longer.

The day after tomorrow, the Secretary of the Household Department will discuss the work direction and specific work arrangements for this year..."

It can be seen that Wei Shuyu is very adaptable to the current job, and everything is done in an orderly manner.

At the same time, it can be seen that Li Chengqian is indeed busy enough, and the time after a few days is fully arranged.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded, rubbed his tired head, and said, "Let's rest early today."

After he finished speaking, Wei Shuyu packed his desk and prepared to leave.

Today's Wei Shuyu took over the original Gao Chunxing with full authority, and almost always accompanied Li Chengqian except when sleeping.

For this reason, Li Chengqian even set up a desk for this little guy in his office.

Early the next morning.

Li Chengqian took Wei Shuyu and left Daming Palace under the protection of Yuchi Baolin and others.

Because he was going out of the city, Li Chengqian had a lot more guards today than usual.

There were as many as five carriages in which Li Chengqian was riding. This was not because Li Chengqian was extravagant, but mainly to prevent accidents. Moreover, it was not that Li Chengqian had never been assassinated, so the extra four carriages were just a trick of suspicious soldiers.

Except for Yuchi Baolin, Liu San and other absolute cronies, even the accompanying sergeant didn't know which carriage Li Chengqian was in.

Of course, this is only on the surface, and there will only be more protective power in the dark.

Not long after, Li Chengqian and his party left the city and arrived at their destination.

After arriving at the place, Yuchi Baolin immediately ordered people to guard around, while he and Liu San brought their own soldiers to Li Chengqian's carriage.

"Your Highness, we've arrived." Yuchi Baolin said.

In the carriage, upon hearing the words, Li Chengqian stepped out of the carriage together with Wei Shuyu.

Wei Shuyu was still young, but Li Chengqian didn't let him ride a horse.

"Your Highness, I will see you." As soon as he saw Li Chengqian, Yi Yuanxi, who had been waiting on the construction site for a long time, bowed and saluted with all his subordinates.

It has to be said that when Li Chengqian came, their construction schedule would be delayed a little.

No way, this problem is the same in any era.

Isn't this just an inspection?
Li Chengqian nodded, and said: "I'm just here to see you today, everyone, don't worry about me, except for Yi Shangshu, everyone else should be busy with whatever they should be busy with."

When Ibara Suk heard this, he dismissed everyone immediately, and let everyone go back to their jobs to do what they should do.

But since Li Chengqian is here, how can everyone still work with peace of mind?

Some people may be nervous because of Li Chengqian's presence, but some people also want to show their faces in front of Li Chengqian. In short, no matter what the reason is, there are really few people who can work with peace of mind at the moment.

Everyone's attention was actually on Li Chengqian.

This is human nature, and Li Chengqian can understand it.

"How is the construction site?" After everyone dispersed, Li Chengqian took Wei Shuyu and Yi Yuanxi around the construction site under the close protection of Yuchi Baolin and Liu San and others.

"The pulley that His Highness made before is really a good thing. With this thing, it is really a lot more convenient for our construction site and mine, and it is much easier to do a lot of work." Ihara Tin said with a smile on his face. Said.

Li Chengqian nodded. Although the pulley is small and exquisite, it has a wide range of functions, especially in this era of human power, the appearance of the pulley is definitely an epoch-making product.

"Your Highness doesn't know something," Ihara Seki laughed. "These fellows on the construction site are also smart people. They actually assembled the pulleys themselves, which saves time and effort compared to the past."

Hearing what he said, Li Chengqian was surprised. He only taught Zhang Erniu how to make pulleys, but he forgot to teach them how to make pulleys. He didn't expect these guys to study them by themselves.

"Take me to have a look."

Hearing this, Yi Yuanxi immediately led the way.

Not far away, Li Chengqian saw a person standing under a shelf similar to a gantry crane, holding a rope with both hands, and transferring some materials stacked here.

Seeing Li Chengqian approaching, the man immediately became flustered. Seeing this, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Don't worry, this king is just here to take a look."

Although Li Chengqian said so, the man still finished the work at hand as quickly as possible, then walked over, bowed and said: "See Your Highness."

"Excuse me." Li Chengqian waved his hands and said, "You came up with this assembly pulley?"

"It wasn't thought up by a small person." The man said, "At that time, a group of us discovered that although the pulley was convenient to use, it really didn't save much effort.

In the final analysis, it just changed the way of exerting force.

This is like a two-hundred-jin stone, which cannot be lifted even if it is small with a pulley.

In the final analysis, it is because the small one itself does not have the strength to lift a stone of two hundred catties.

On the contrary, although a small one-hundred-jin stone cannot be lifted, it can be lifted with a pulley, but the same one-hundred-jin stone can be moved on the back.

This actually shows that the little one has the strength of a hundred catties. The pulley does not save the little one a lot of effort, but changes the way of exerting force.

At that time, we were thinking, since the pulley can change the way we use force, will it save effort?
After having this idea, we pondered it carefully, and finally tossed out this set of combined pulleys.

Not to mention, after making this combination of pulleys, it really saves a lot of effort. Now a stone weighing two hundred catties can be handled by a small person with the help of this combination of pulleys. "

After finishing speaking, the guy grinned honestly.

But hearing what he said, Li Chengqian froze in place.

It's not that the things he said were miraculous, but that he didn't expect these words to come from an ordinary worker on a construction site.

After pondering for a while, Li Chengqian sighed and said: "Practice is the only way to test the truth! You all did a good job.

Yi Shangshu, is this person from your Ministry of Industry? "

"Return to Your Highness." Upon seeing this, Yi Yuanxi smiled and said, "This is an old man from our Ministry of Industry. He participated in the construction of the city wall during the defense of Riyue Mountain. Now they are all members of the pulley team of the Ministry of Industry. , responsible for the pulleys of the Ministry of Industry on various construction sites.

Not to mention, they are the only ones who can play with this thing. "

Upon hearing his words, Li Chengqian understood.

After these guys figured out the pulley combination, they thought they had a thorough understanding of it, so they thought about using this skill as the capital of their own food. Maybe they all discussed it, and this skill will never be spread.

To put it bluntly, it is a technological monopoly.

Although the eating looks are a bit ugly, but in this day and age, there is really no way to say that they are wrong.

Immediately, Li Chengqian looked at that person, and said with a smile: "If I want you to teach more people the skills you have mastered about the pulley combination, would you be willing?"

When the man heard Li Chengqian's words, he was immediately taken aback.

He was really stunned.

From the bottom of their hearts, they were unwilling, but after all, it was Li Chengqian who spoke, gritted his teeth, and said: "Since it is His Highness's arrangement, I will naturally be willing."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Well, you people in the pulley team have worked harder during this time." Li Chengqian said, looking at Yi Yuanxi again, "You have arranged three or five apprentices for everyone in their pulley team. It is important that each of these apprentices has a clear grasp of the assembly and use of the pulley combination."

With that said, Li Chengqian looked at that person again, "You also have to pass on all the techniques you have mastered, and you can't keep any secrets. It's possible to do it."

"No problem." Now that he had agreed, the man was quite straightforward, "I will not disappoint His Highness with the errand that His Highness has given you."

Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian said to him and Yi Yuanxi: "After all the apprentices of their pulley team are brought out, all the people from their original pulley team will be drawn out of the pulley team."

"Ah?" This time, let alone the guy with the pulley block, even Ihara Suk was stunned.

It's okay to hand over the technology, but the work is gone?

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "What? It's a pity that people like them are placed in a pulley block." Then, Li Chengqian patted that person's shoulder and said, "With the people who developed the pulley block as the core, set up another For the technical team, the monthly salary is doubled.

Mainly lead the team members to overcome the technical difficulties encountered by the Ministry of Industry, by the way, what's your name? "

"Return to Your Highness, little Yang Fan."

"Yang family?" Li Chengqian smiled. Since he was an old man during the defense of Riyue Mountain, he must be a member of Yang Lin's clan. "Yes, from now on you will be the head of the Daming Ministry of Industry and the leader of the attack team."

Yang Fan was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Although he belongs to the Yang family, he is a side branch. When he was in the Yang family, he was just a worker. He didn't expect that a person like himself would be able to be an official one day!
"Why are you still standing still, don't thank you!" Ihara Suk hurriedly urged from the side.

He doesn't mind having one more director in the Ministry of Industry.

Hearing this, Yang Fan hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It's a small thing to thank Your Highness for your great kindness..."

Hearing what he said, Li Chengqian and Yi Yuanxi laughed for no reason.

After all, I have never experienced a big scene, and I will reveal my secrets in one sentence.

However, the two of them didn't laugh, instead they laughed and said, "Okay, this is what you deserve. From now on, you should lead the attacking team and help Da Ming overcome some technical problems."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best!" Yang Fan immediately made a promise.

Li Chengqian smiled, but didn't correct him, he just said: "You are busy first, I will go and look elsewhere."

Right now, this guy doesn't know how happy he is, Li Chengqian continues to stay here, but he can't let go.

"This kid is not bad." After walking away, Li Chengqian said, "The group of people who developed the pulley combination back then were also not bad."

"It's pretty good." Ihara Seok laughed.

Li Chengqian looked back at Yi Yuanxi who was quite proud, shook his head, and said: "For those who can use their brains and love to use their brains, you should pay more attention to them.

The development and progress of Ming Dynasty needs these people who are good at studying and willing to study.

How long have you seen the pulley?

Why can't others make a pulley combination?

This is the difference between them and others. As long as there are such people, it is Daming's blessing. Do you really let them guard those pulleys for the rest of their lives?
Don't you think about it, since they can study this today?
So in other aspects, can they make a breakthrough? "

"Your Highness reprimanded you." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Yi Yuanxi bowed and said.

Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian stopped talking. There are some things that Yi Yuanxi needs to explore slowly by himself. Immediately, Li Chengqian asked: "How do you plan to repair this Chidao?"

"In the beginning, Weichen planned to use cement to build the Chidao, but after calculation, it would be too expensive to build the Chidao with cement.

Nowadays, it takes at least four stones of raw materials to burn one stone of cement in the cement workshop. If this is to build Chidao, the amount of cement needed is an unimaginable number.

So Weichen finally gave up on this plan. "

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Indeed, it is indeed too extravagant to use cement for the time being."

"So, Weichen plans to open the road first, and then tamp it down as much as possible, and do simple processing." Yi Yuanxi said, "Even so, this is still a big project. Weichen made a rough calculation. This item alone is estimated to be able to feed at least 50 people this year before winter begins.

But in this way, the pressure on the court has also increased. "

"You don't need to worry about the pressure from the imperial court." Li Chengqian said, "There is nothing you can do about it. The past two years have been the most difficult days for the Ming court. Now our priority is to feed the people of the Ming Dynasty.

It is necessary to ensure that they can survive, so it is much better to provide relief with work than to directly distribute relief money and food?
No matter how bad it is, some infrastructure in my Ming Dynasty has also been developed. "

"That's the reason." Yi Yuanxi said, "So when I made the plan, I also considered this. If the construction starts in various places at the same time, I will try to build all the Chidao in Daming this year."

Ibara Seok is still confident that the project will be completed by the end of this year.

After all, there was a way before, and what we are doing now is to expand and consolidate the original foundation.

But Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Chi Dao is not something you cultivated..."

"Then what does His Highness mean?" Ihara Suk was a little puzzled. In order to build this road, he asked many people for advice.

In the end, who would have thought that Li Chengqian actually said that Chi Dao is not cultivated in this way?

He was rather curious, how should Li Chengqian cultivate the path in his heart?

"You forgot, we are grasslands..." Li Chengqian said, "Even if you tamp it down, once it rains and the carriage runs for a few days, can you still see it?"
