Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 37

After Li Shimin left, Li Cha ran to the blacksmith Lao Jia when he had nothing to do, and directed Lao Jia to spend an afternoon building a set of distillation equipment for the first class of the students tomorrow.

In the evening, Li Cha commanded a group of Xuanjia soldiers to move things to Meng Huhu's house.

When Meng Huo saw it, he hurried forward to help. There was a mess of super-large iron buckets, bent pipes, and valves. Meng Huo was at a loss when he saw it.

After Li Cha was fully assembled, Meng Huo looked at this super-large iron barrel. There were three holes in the top of the iron pass, the bottom one was the smallest, and there was a small elbow on the top, which opened downward.

There is a slightly larger hole in the middle, which is then connected to a small barrel.

The lower part is directly connected to the lowermost elbow.The hole at the top was the largest, and turned in a long bend at the top.

Next to it was added a long iron-clad barrel that was more than twice as thin as the big iron barrel, and there was a thinner long pipe inside, with a small opening at the bottom.

In fact, it is just a small vertical distillation tower. No matter how delicate it is, such as a rectification tower, it is simply impossible to make it with the current technology of Datang.

But this is enough for Datang now. With the current distillation capacity of Datang, the maximum amount of distilled wine is less than [-]%.

The vertical distillation tower built by Li Cha can easily increase the alcohol concentration by 75 degrees, and even reach 97 degrees if there is precise temperature control.

When building this distillation vertical tower, Li Cha once again found that Datang lacked too many things. For example, the thermometer that is going to be used now, the simplest mercury thermometer is very easy to make.

But there was no glass in the Tang Dynasty, and the earliest colored glaze also appeared in the Kaiyuan period.So Li Cha needs to fire glass first, let's fire glass, then Li Cha thought of firing cement and red bricks.There is also sealing. Datang has no glue and can only use mud, which is another trouble.

Li Cha really felt that he had a long way to go.I can't help feeling that I know too much, but have too little time and can do too little.

But Li Cha's idea was completely overthrown in just half a year. After half a year, Li Cha would only feel that he knew too little and had no place to save his face.He sighed secretly that he was definitely not on a normal earth.

After Li Cha was fully assembled, Meng Huo asked: "Brother Li, what did you make of this thing? What is it for? What shocking thing are you going to make?" Meng Huo knew that Li Cha was What good things are coming out again, he couldn't help asking.

"Brother Meng, this is for the children to use in class tomorrow. You will know what to do tomorrow. Now let's get some fine mud and seal these seals. If the seal is not good, it will affect the effect of the experiment. "Li Cha said.

The two worked hard again, and finally the Datang version of the vertical distillation tower was created by Li Cha.

After finishing his work, Li Cha suddenly asked Meng Huo: "Brother Meng, how much wine do you have at home?"

"Alcohol, there is plenty of wine. The old man just needs a sip of wine. How can there be no wine. Brother Li said the same thing. It's time for dinner. I'll ask the cook to cook. Let's have a drink." Meng Huo thought that Li Cha I want to drink.

In fact, Li Cha asked about the raw materials for tomorrow's experiment.He didn't think about brewing wine at all. Datang's grain is not much now, so it can be directly distilled on the original basis.If you want to make money from dignitaries, you must be high-end, and you must supply a limited amount.Li Cha, who came from later generations, couldn't be more clear about this.

"Hahaha, Brother Meng, drink it yourself. I'm going to accompany my unmarried daughter-in-law. If you have time, go to other people in the village to get some low-quality salt. The lower the quality, the better. A little more. I'm leaving." Li Cha laughed loudly, he had already seen Duan Hongxiu walking towards him outside the courtyard gate.

Li Cha and Duan Hongxiu agreed to go shopping together in Chang'an City today. The two are getting married soon, and they are going to buy some necessary daily necessities.

On the way back, when they could see Shiqiao Village in the distance, they ran into a mysterious old man selling a stall.The old man has a childish face with white hair, a long beard reaching to his chest, and a sword box on his back.The knife case is full of rural knives such as kitchen knives, scissors, and sickles.

The old man stopped Li Cha's way back, and asked with a smile on his face, "Master, do you need to bring a kitchen knife, scissors or sickle home?"

Li Cha was very puzzled to see such an old man selling knives at a stall on this deserted road.He casually asked, "Old man, why do you sell knives here? Why don't you go to the Chang'an market?"

The old man who set up the stall waved his hand, and continued to smile, "I only sell knives to those who are destined, and the noisy Chang'an City is not suitable for this old man. Moreover, I only sell knives on credit, not for sale."

"Hey, this is interesting, so I am the destined person you are waiting for? Then tell me how you sell this knife?" Li Cha immediately became interested after hearing what the old man said.

"My son is a person who believes that he can predict the future, so he is naturally the old man's predestined relationship."

"This old man has a knife, you can just take it away if you want, the old man will leave a prophecy about the future, and when the prophecy comes true, the old man will come to collect the bill."

"When the time comes, you only need to agree to one thing. Although you can't say anything now, you don't need to worry about it. It doesn't matter if you don't agree." The old man with long beard explained to Li Cha with a smile.

"It's interesting, how did the old man make sure that I would believe that he could predict the future?" Li Cha also laughed.

Hearing this, Li Cha also understood that the old man in front of him came to a mysterious organization called Credit Daoist.It has been recorded in the history of later generations.

They claim to be the descendants of Guiguzi, and they call themselves credit knife people, but this organization should have only appeared since the Song Dynasty. Why did it appear in the tenth year of Zhenguan?This organization has no fixed place, only exists in folklore, and no one knows their footsteps.

As for their patriarch, Guiguzi, he is even more mysterious.

He is the most mysterious person in the Warring States Period, and no one has seen his true face, and even doubted his true existence.

He didn't directly participate in the military and political affairs of various countries, and he never saw the end of the dragon, but he had several disciples, but they were very famous, such as Pang Juan, Sun Bin, Zhang Yi, and Su Qin. A history of the Warring States Period.

"See the opening and closing of yin and yang to life things, know the door of existence and death, plan the end of all kinds, understand the principles of people's hearts, see the change, and guard the door." This is Guiguzi's theory.

"Young Master, why don't you believe in calculating the future? For example, hundreds of thousands of years later, with the rapid development of technology, you don't have to go out to shop, your granary is full, and your cattle are tens of thousands. When the cannon fires, you will get ten thousand taels of gold, etc." The old man looked at Li Cha. eyes, smiling.

Li Cha's heart trembled, and his face changed instantly.This is definitely a secret that only you know.But now, the old man in front of him said casually, could it be that he is also a person who has been to the 21st century like himself?

"Hahaha, it turns out that an old friend has arrived. You are joking with the boy here. Hongxiu, you go home first, this is my master's friend, and he is joking with me here. I will have a good chat with this old friend. "

Li Cha immediately laughed, and first pushed Duan Hongxiu away, and Li Cha didn't know what would happen next.

After watching Duan Hongxiu leave, Li Cha clenched his fists tightly.His eyes were fixed on the mysterious old man in front of him.Asked word by word: "Who is Your Excellency?"

"Young master, don't be nervous. I'm the first person with a knife on credit. I came here today to sell a knife to you." The mysterious old man said with a smile.

"Are you so confident that I will definitely buy your knife?" Li Cha asked.

"The young master will buy it. The old man has a few questions to send to the young master:

First, does the young master really believe in the saying that there is a soul wandering outside Fang Wai?

Second, can a person really go into a coma for 17 years without eating or drinking?

Third, is it because later generations need people to go back to the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago to change the course of history?Or does this continent need people to go to the afterlife to learn knowledge and come back to save it?
Can you really tell the difference between dream and reality? "

The mysterious credit knife man A said.

This time, Li Cha was really stunned.

He really believed the words of his master Ziyang Zhenren before, he really thought that he was a soul wandering around Fangwai and came back again.

Even if there was a deviation in the course of history, he thought it was in a different time and space.

He didn't think about anything else at all, he just wanted to use the knowledge he learned in later generations to make life better for the people of Tang who suffered from the disaster.

But now, after hearing what the credit knife man Ayi said, things really don't seem to be that simple.

"Okay, I'll buy your knife. Now tell me the answer to the question." Li Cha said with a sigh.

"Don't worry, my lord. The truth of things is often very simple. It's just that it's not the time yet. You don't have to worry about the truth of the matter for the time being as you should live your life. When the time comes, the truth will naturally be revealed. Please also Young master choose a knife first."

Credit knife man A said.

Hearing the words of Credit Swordsman A, Li Cha suddenly felt depressed, crazy, since you don't want to tell me, why don't you talk to me again?

"Old man, since the time is up, the truth will naturally be revealed, so you can continue to wait for your destined person, and I won't play with you. I still have a lot of things to do, so I'm leaving."

After Li Cha finished speaking, he turned around and left. In his heart, making Datang stronger is still the most important task at present.He was not afraid of the sky and the earth, so he was too lazy to listen to the nonsense of the credit knife man.

"Since that's the case, the old man won't force you, son. We will meet again." After finishing speaking, the credit knife man A drifted away.

"Cut, play tricks." Li Cha snorted, turned and walked towards the village.

The next day, as the sun rose.One after another, the students came with their quilts. After tidying up the dormitory that Meng Huo had arranged for him, they stood quietly in the yard, and none of the children made any unnecessary movements.

Although the emperor was not here today, the students behaved more honestly.He didn't dare to take a breath, waiting for Li Cha to speak.

After they went home yesterday and told their parents and elders that their teacher was Li Cha and their teacher was Meng Huhu, the feedback they got was too scary.Their darlings are still thumping and thumping.

"Qingque, you have to learn from your third uncle. Your third uncle is a man of great ability. If you learn from your third uncle's skills, you can better assist your elder brother in managing our Li family's Great Tang in the future. Also, Qing Que, you must remember, don't do things that your third uncle hates. There are many things you don't know. In your father's heart, the status of your third uncle is definitely higher than that of you and the prince .”

This is what Empress Changsun taught Li Tai.

"What? Who do you think your teacher is? Your third uncle? Li Yuanba? Li Ke, Li Yin, you two must not make your third uncle angry. He is a person who has no manners and no scruples at all. You will never be soft-hearted.”

This is the biological mother of Li Ke, King of Wu, and Li Min, King of Shu, Concubine Yang, daughter of Emperor Yang of the former dynasty.

"You'er, when did you have such a third uncle? But no matter what, you can do whatever your father asks you to do. And remember what my mother and concubine said to you, if you have talent, you must do it well. Hidden in the ground. Continue to make small mistakes. If you don’t make big mistakes, it’s right to be a prodigal prince. The hatred between your grandfather’s family and your father’s family is too deep. Whatever you do is wrong. If your father didn’t protect us, we There are no bones left that have been eaten by the Li clan for a long time. But it can't be too much. Meng Huo is famous for his strict military management. Don't let him catch the handle. I believe that Yu'er's intelligence can grasp this speed live."

This is the concubine Yin whose whole family, except her younger brother and herself, was beheaded by Emperor Gaozu.The concubines in the deep palace don't know as much as the officials outside.

"What did you say? You became a prince's disciple? Or the third younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor? My son, this is your great fortune. You have no ability to be a father. You only have a title that can be inherited by your eldest brother. I can give you a comfortable life without lack of food and drink. You can only rely on your own hands to fight for glory and wealth. Now this opportunity is in front of you. You must seize this opportunity, as long as you can be admitted to this prince You are right in front of your eyes. You will be able to assist your eldest brother in the future and make our family stronger. But, son, let me tell you as a father, don’t do what you shouldn’t do, and no one will be able to annoy this prince. Can't save you, that's really the master who kills without batting an eye, not just him, you must carry out Meng Huo's words seriously, Meng Huo's methods are scary even thinking about them now."

This is the response of most parents of students after hearing their children's reports.

There were no secrets among the officials at all. The news that Li Cha led Meng Huhu to destroy a Turkic country and was about to become king had already spread among the court officials.

Therefore, when the children mentioned the prince at home, their parents would know who it was.Therefore, Qian reminded, Wan exhorted, we must seize this opportunity well, and don't provoke Li Cha.Not only Prince Li Cha, but also Meng Huhu are not something they can afford.

"Hahaha, my son of Yuchi Jingde finally has a teacher, and he is the prince I admire the most. Hahaha, who will dare to say that my son is stupid and unteachable in the future? Teach. Hahaha" This is Yu Chigong, the old man.

As for Cheng Yaojin, Old Fairy Cheng is even simpler.He directly called the three sons and Qin Huaiyu to him and said, "Listen to me, four of you, you can do whatever the master tells you to do. As long as you don't make mistakes, your future is immeasurable, but if you If you made a mistake and angered that person, then you can ask for blessings, no one can save you. I can't, neither can your father Huaiyu, nor can the emperor. Remember what I said, go back and talk to yours. Mother say goodbye."

PS: Lao Yu said that this is a science fiction book that started in the Tang Dynasty. Let’s lay a foreshadowing here. You can guess where the credit-knife organization is inherited, and what mysterious organization will appear later.The story of changing Datang has just begun.
