Datang first village

The next day, when Li Yuanxing woke up, it was almost noon.Really tired these days.

Wu Zhao woke up earlier and was sitting there eating snacks.

Seeing Li Yuanxing wake up, Wu Zhao said: "Isn't your Princess Changying pregnant? This is just an excuse. Give them some good things for the Li family. I calculated that among the six houses of the Li family, the one in Liaodong Because it has not been affected by the war, the strength in Youzhou is good."

Li Yuanxing didn't speak, and went to touch the cigarette beside the pillow.

Wu Zhao said again: "The Khitan people want to fight among themselves, you can encourage Li Changying to intervene and help the Khitan king."

Li Yuanxing still didn't speak, picked up Wu Zhao's glass of milk and drank it, then stuffed a piece of pancake into his mouth, squinted his eyes and asked an irrelevant question: "You said, the Jinghe Power Plant is ready for use."

"I'm talking about Li Changying!" Wu Zhao saw Li Yuanxing coming to get her snack again, grabbed Li Yuanxing's hand and took a bite.

Li Yuanxing just smiled and didn't take it seriously at all.

Wu Zhao approached Li Yuanxing and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, what are you thinking? Why have you been balancing the power of the various families, but they haven't weakened in the slightest? I never cared who expanded particularly fiercely, but only supported the weaker side!"

"I'll talk about it when grandpa comes. You can't understand this yet."

"Then what about my proposal just now?" Wu Zhao asked again.

"Okay, good idea. How about adding a match factory?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

Wu Zhao nodded, quickly recorded it on the tablet, and said, "I'm done with the opening of the new palace, and I'm going to take a month off."

"After the New Year, I'll give you a month off!" Li Yuanxing was bargaining.

"I'm going to dig for emeralds, so you let me go too?" Wu Zhao asked Li Yuanxing with a smile, but Li Yuanxing nodded seriously: "It's okay to dig once, but don't go to that place too much. Now it's not Datang's territory, it's Tupan Yes. In fact, I would rather you go with the new airship after the new airship has been tested for [-] miles!"

Wu Zhao nodded contentedly.

After having lunch in the old palace, Li Yuanxing and Li Er went to the new palace together.The new palace is located in Longshouyuan, about ten miles north of the old palace.The main entrance is still on the central axis of Chang'an City. This was calculated by the heavenly officials of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no way for anyone to change it.

The palace is five miles from north to south, and eight miles from east to west, covering an area of ​​forty square miles (not kilometers).The front palace has no walls, while the back palace has walls seven feet high and seven feet wide. Horses are not allowed, but several people can walk side by side.

The palace is designed with an artificial lake that draws water from the Wei River.

The Jinghe Power Plant is actually located at the junction of the Bahe River and the Weihe River, a little to the north, about one mile away from the Jinghe River. Although it is at the junction of the three rivers, it is closer to the Jinghe River, so it is named Jinghe Power Plant .

The power plant is 50 miles away from the New Palace. According to [-] poles per mile, more than [-] poles are used to reach the power plant.

It is impossible for the power distribution room to be placed in the palace, so a separate power distribution room was built on the east side of the palace, and two lines were separated, one leading to Chang'an City and the other leading to the palace.

Wu Zhao went to the Jinghe Power Plant in person, and she made an appointment with Li Yuanxing to start power delivery after dark.

Li Er and Li Yuanxing stood in the new hall in the imperial palace, but Li Er didn't feel that there was anything special about his hall, at least not as gorgeous as the palace pasted with dozens of catties of gold in the previous Sui Dynasty.

It's big enough and powerful enough.

"Tonight, how about canceling all curfew in Chang'an City?" Li Yuanxing asked Li Er.

Li Er was puzzled: "Is there anything special about it?"

"Let the Chang'an Order collect more taxes!" Li Yuanxing replied with a half-smile.

Li Er laughed: "How much tax can be collected, Wulang is really joking." Li Yuanxing didn't laugh, but turned around and said to Eunuch Gao: "Eunuch Gao, help me spread a word, just say that I invite Jingzhao Yin came to the New Palace with Chang'an Order, there is an errand for them to work hard on."

"Your Highness, you can give orders, but don't dare to say help!" Eunuch Gao asked the little eunuch to pass on the message, while whispering back to Li Yuanxing.

He just summoned someone, but Li Er didn't take it seriously.

"Wu Lang, for my brother, it seems that the lamp in front of the palace gate is not as good as the original study room." Li Er saw the lamp, which he had seen and used before.

Li Yuanxing said with a smile: "The thickness of the glass is only as thick as a sheet of paper for the small lamp on the table of the emperor. The yield rate is extremely low, and a finished product costs about a hundred yuan. This kind of lamp is easy to manufacture. The cost of five or six pennies, and one or two of a hundred will be damaged at most."

The new lamp that Li Yuanxing mentioned, in Wu Zhao's words, can be used as a can.

It can be thicker and larger, and it is relatively easy to pump and re-inflate, and it is not easy to break.

Li Yuanxing has never tested power and the like, and this is not his specialty.

Learning art in ancient times was very difficult. If you have the opportunity to learn advanced skills, you will be rich. The craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty worked very hard. There will be evening classes in the workshops under the name of the Qin Palace. Not only the workers under the name of the Qin Palace The craftsmen from the workshop will come, even people from outside will come to listen to it.

Some people even ran ten miles to attend the lectures regardless of the weather.

"Wu Lang, you are not willing to cover my brother's chair with gold. You are too stingy." Li Er continued to pick thorns.

In Li Er's eyes, his new palace is really poor to the extreme.

When it came to chairs, Li Yuanxing was reluctant: "Brother Huang, I want to say something, you don't know anything!"

"Knowing the goods, can wood be more valuable than gold?" Li Er's tone was also a few degrees higher. The new palace really disappointed him. At least in Li Er's eyes, the royal family should be full of luxury.

Li Yuanxing sighed: "My brother Tuo Feng An spent a lot of effort to get a few of these trees. Brother Huang, go and smell the wood."

After Li Er heard it, he said in amazement: "The fragrance is made of wood, or Wu Lang asked someone to paint it on."

"Small-leaf red sandalwood grows less than an inch in 100 years, and it takes thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, to grow into a thick tree. What's more, there is no such thing as a thick tree. This tree grows When it reaches seven inches, there is a saying of ten trees and nine empty spaces, that is, the outside looks complete, but the inside is already empty."

Li Er couldn't help being interested when he heard the novelty.

Li Yuanxing continued: "This tree is one foot and three inches. Feng An sent people to run more than 1000 miles to the southwest to find it. It is definitely the king of red sandalwood. This tree is said to be invulnerable to all poisons and immortal. The fragrance will not disappear even after a hundred years, and sitting on this kind of chair also has the effect of strengthening the body."

Only then did Li Er start looking at the chair again. It feels top-notch, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.

Li Yuanxing said again: "Who would pull one like this? The red sandalwood is in Chang'an. According to the weight, he will accept as much as ten times the gold. And there is absolutely no discount for cash transactions." After finishing speaking, Li Yuanxing took out another Several carved wooden pieces: "Brother Huang, this wood also has a name, Qinglong Wood, which wards off evil spirits."

"I'm not afraid of comparing goods, but I'm afraid I don't know the goods." Li Er said with emotion.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "Brother Huang, there will be no electricity and no lights. The marble used for the ground is a very rare sky blue marble, and the pillars are wrapped with white marble. Although the wood used for the doors and windows is not as good as that of the Qinglong Wood, but it is definitely something that dares to compare with gold. To put it bluntly, the younger brother is a palace. In terms of weight, whoever asks to exchange it with gold of equal weight will secretly have fun in his dreams. We don't need people If you really understand these things, those who don’t know the goods can just laugh at our poor Tang Dynasty!”

Hahaha!

Li Er laughed heartily.

I remember Wu Zhao once said that Li Yuanxing likes low-key luxury the most.

Sometimes it seems that Li Yuanxing is frugal, but many of the things he eats and uses are rare in the world.Li Yuanxing only cares about the practical benefits, who cares about being ridiculed for being poor.

But Li Er is different, he is the emperor of Tang Dynasty, Zhang Yang is his surname.

He secretly winked at Eunuch Gao.With a wink, Eunuch Gao is so smart, he immediately understood what Li Yuanxing said just now, especially the chair, he will definitely spread the news.

Let's not do that kind of night walk in brocade clothes. Wearing gorgeous clothes, we have to walk under the sun.

"This Goro, for my brother's sake, there is an empty piece on the back of this chair, which happens to be inlaid with a piece of high-quality emerald!"

"Don't wait, my brother will ask the girl Mingyue to pick up stones again in a while, and then get a few top-quality pieces. Brother Huang thinks which one is good, so I will use that one. Then use the best jadeite as the top stone. A few wine glasses, Xiaodie Huangxiong for eating. Or replace all the paperweights, pen holders, and pen holders on the table with top-quality emeralds?"

Li Er was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Wu Lang, Brother Wei, I heard it. You are talking ironically."

"The wine glass is the truth!" Li Yuanxing also laughed.

Jing Zhaoyin Dugu Xiude arrived, and he heard laughter in the hall from a distance.After asking the eunuch to pass a message outside His Highness's door, he was allowed to enter the palace.

As soon as he saw Dugu Xiude, Li Er said loudly: "Wu Lang got me a wooden chair. It was just to let the people in the world think that I am simple, and I want to tell you. This wood is not ordinary, it is ten times the gold I don’t want to change the top-quality green dragon wood, I just want to let the world know that I am rich in Tang Dynasty!"

what is this?Dugu Xiude didn't understand, it was for this reason that he was called here.

Li Yuanxing greeted him with a smile, and after taking the initiative to salute:

"Master Dugu, I have some troublesome things to trouble you. I'm not here to listen to the happy news of the emperor. What I mean is that there will be no curfew in Chang'an tonight, and then I will send people to the shops to inquire. How much income does the store increase. Finally, at night, Chang'an City will be as bright as day."

Li Er also said loudly: "Cultivate morality, order the rich merchants in Chang'an. I am in a good mood tonight, and have fun with the people. Some wealthy merchants are allowed to come to the palace to participate in stone gambling. There are chambers of commerce that have been heavily taxed by the Ministry of Households. You can gamble three yuan .The rest may be two yuan, or one piece. Then arrange ten of the most famous restaurants in Chang'an, the Imperial Palace **. The required expenses..."

When mentioning the fee, Li Er glanced at Li Yuanxing and laughed.

"Qin Palace pays!" (To be continued.)
