Chapter 91 Li Lizhi's Bribe
Yue Shan finally understood one thing, that is, people in the early Tang Dynasty did not have the habit of celebrating birthdays.At most, some people will thank their parents on the day they were born, and then there will be no more.Most people just ignore the day.

The purpose of them remembering the horoscope of birth is to calculate age and fortune-telling.

Yes, for fortune telling.

Especially for marriage, both men and women usually count the horoscope, and the incompatibility of the horoscope can be used as a legitimate reason for refusing to marry, and even the court cannot interfere.

This also explains why everyone doesn't take Li Yuan's birthday seriously.

But having said that, Yue Shan always thought that celebrating birthdays was a very ancient event, but he didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty didn't have this habit, and he didn't know when it started.

However, he didn't know that the first person who celebrated his birthday recorded in the history books was not far away from him—the first time Tang Minghuang Li Longji publicly celebrated his own birthday during Kaiyuan.

He thinks that he is wise and mighty, and that the Tang Dynasty is going to its peak under his hands.The common people are really lucky to have him as an emperor, and the day of his birth should be celebrated everywhere.

Celebrate your arrival and the good life you have created for them.So this day was regarded as a national festival and the whole people were required to celebrate it, which gradually evolved into a custom of celebrating birthdays.

Although he didn't know this, it didn't prevent him from using this matter to make a fuss.

Write a letter directly to Li Yuan to celebrate his birthday?It is not advisable, not to mention that others may not listen to them if they speak lightly. This is also inconsistent with his low-key plan.

Besides, as a courtier, if he makes such remarks, a jester cannot escape.Although he 'has no ambitions', he doesn't want to have such a reputation.

Thinking about it carefully, it's better to give Li Shimin the limelight. He is a son, and celebrating his father's birthday is filial piety, and no one can fault it.

And it doesn't have to be for Li Yuanqing's birthday. Aren't many people remembering their mother on her birthday now?It can be made into Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, etc., which is much more meaningful than a simple birthday celebration.

With the idea established, Yue Shan couldn't help but sigh, Lao Li, I'll let you do all the good things, don't be a white-eyed wolf in the future.

The construction of the school has not been completed due to repeated changes in the design plan.But soon, the main project has been repaired, leaving some supporting facilities.

One of the most important equipment is the boiler.

Originally, Yueshan's plan was to heat the pipes through steam to achieve the purpose of heating.It's not that I don't want plumbing, but that the technology of plumbing is relatively high, which is difficult to achieve with the technology of this era.

But when he came to inspect the progress that day, he found that there were many strangers, and at first glance, they looked like people with unusual identities.Master Zhu was very polite to these people.

"Who are they?" Yue Shan asked from a distance.

"They are all from Master Zhu's school. The one in black is the most famous stonemason in Chang'an City, and the one in sackcloth is a master swordsmith. I don't know the others," Zhou Shangyun said.

"Teacher?" Yue Shan looked at these people in thought, and then left without meeting Master Zhu.

After returning home, he closed the door and redesigned a boiler, which was larger than the previous design and used both water and steam.

The general appearance is not much different from the steam boiler, except that there is an extra water outlet at the bottom, but the technical content is quite different.

Regardless of whether it is gas heating or hot water heating, it is necessary to use the pressure of steam to push water or air pressure into the ground dragon.The gas is so light that it doesn't need much pressure.

Water is troublesome. If you want to use steam to press hot water into the earth dragon and achieve the purpose of circulation, you need a lot of pressure.This is a great test for the quality of the boiler, and if the quality is a little worse, it may explode.

Originally, he thought that it would be enough to use steam heating, but after seeing those people taught by Master Zhu, he decided to try a hot water boiler.

Let Zhou Shangyun hand over the new design drawings to Zhu Dajiang, and he himself took people to Chang'an City.

I went to the Prince Qin's mansion first, and went straight to the backyard without notification.

As Qin Wangfei's brother-in-law, he has obtained the right to freely pass through the palace, except for certain places.

He stopped at the same position to let people in to report, and Sun Fucai appeared in front of him at about the same time.The two exchanged glances, and walked towards the eldest grandson Wugou's bedroom as usual.

Not surprisingly, Li Lizhi was also there.As a baby who has not yet been weaned, the eldest grandson Wugou has always taken her by his side instead of handing her over to the nanny to take care of.

It's just that this time she didn't knock on the gopher, nor did she ride the wooden horse, but sat on the couch obediently.It's not that she changed her gender, but because of the bunch of bright red candied haws in her hand.

Seeing Yue Shan, her big black and white eyes suddenly lit up, she dropped the candied haws and ran to Yue Shan, pulling the corner of his clothes and said in a childish voice: "Brother, come and see me again!" Me? I miss you so much."

Immediately, there were a few sugar marks on Yue Shan's clothes.

"Really?" Yue Shan didn't know what kind of plan she had, and deliberately teased: "But what if I didn't bring food this time?"

"Ah?" Li Lizhi's eyes dimmed instantly, and her small face drooped, "Then...then...can you bring it for me next time? I will still miss you."

"Haha... okay, okay, I will definitely bring you something delicious next time. Is the candied haws delicious?" Yue Shan couldn't help laughing.

The little girl regained her spirits when she mentioned the candied haws, and she didn't know what kind of idea she thought when she rolled her eyes.He let go of Yue Shan's clothes and quickly returned to his seat, grabbed the candied haws he ate left, and ran back again:
"Brother, I'll eat for you." After speaking, she looked at him expectantly.

"Yo, my little lady already knows how much she loves her brother." Yue Shan didn't shy away, grabbed the candied haws that was full of teeth marks and drool, and ate it.

Seeing him finish eating, the little girl's eyes were full of pride: "After eating my candied haws, bring me something to eat next time."

"Oh, it's not good, I was fooled. The little lady will bribe people." Yue Shan pretended to be frustrated.

Li Lizhi was so teased that she couldn't stop laughing.

The eldest grandson Wugou, who was sitting sewing clothes, looked at the big and the young, and shook his head speechlessly, but felt very warm in his heart.

"I've met my sister." After comforting Li Lizhi, Yue Shan stepped forward to greet her.

"Well, that's right. People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Wearing this clothes really looks like a Baron of Tang Dynasty." Changsun Wugou looked him up and down before saying.

"I'm still a baron without this suit." Yue Shan muttered.

"What did you say?" Changsun Wugou raised his eyebrows and said.

"No, I said it's because of my sister's thoughtfulness." Yue Shan decisively chose Congxin.

"There are still a few days until the Winter Solstice Festival. You should learn those etiquettes carefully, so that you don't make a joke at that time. I can't afford to lose that person." The eldest grandson Wugou snorted coldly, counting you as a wise boy.But then he became worried again:
"No, I'm still worried. In this way, let me find you a companion, and you can just follow him when the time comes."

　I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to resign. I went to this company because of my brain.
