Datang Fenghua Road

The emperor's brows gradually wrinkled, vaguely feeling that if this is the case, I am afraid that thousands of years of cold war will undergo major changes.

"This change is likely to affect an era! If I can seize this opportunity..." Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Han Yue with a warm heart.

He didn't care whether the kid was yawning or not, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked him, and shouted, "Stinky boy is sober, it's almost noon, and the hospital opening ceremony has not yet been held?"

The emperor was suddenly very interested in the research institute!

Can you not care?

Li Shimin couldn't help recalling what Han Yue had done.

Waterwheel, agricultural irrigation tool.

Cannon, siege defense weapon.

Musket, a weapon for slaughter on the battlefield.

There are also mines, grenades, red bricks, mosquito coils, Huoxiangzhengqi water, crystal glass...

It turns out that the stinky boy has done a lot of things without knowing it. His invention has been subtly affecting the Tang Dynasty. He was reluctant to think deeply before, but now he is extremely afraid.

The stinky boy is changing the times almost by himself. Although the process is slow, he is firm.For example, in the past, farmers used to go to the mountains to cut firewood, but now they have learned to buy briquettes to use.

"It's time to pay attention to the investigation of things, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life!" This thought flashed in Li Shimin's mind, and at this moment, Han Yue suddenly said another sentence, which strengthened the emperor's determination even more.

"Look, Your Majesty, the thing that slowly lifts off into the sky is a hot air balloon, because it can fulfill your dream of flying, so I gave it an apt name, the Son of Heaven's Surveying Boat!"

Li Shimin's eyes were clear, and he subconsciously looked at the top of the research institute.

"In June of the first year of Zhenguan, a large colorful ball rose into the sky, and the people of the market exclaimed, and all ethnic groups in the grassland were shocked. The legendary young Marquis Jingyang made this artifact with the technique of checking objects, and mankind opened the era of the sky. Climb the boat of the Son of Heaven to survey the sky together, support the white clouds and the breeze, talk with the immortals, and sigh that giving birth to a child should be like the Marquis of Jingyang!"

Chapter 188 Xiaotian Lang fell in love with Youyou

The heavy rain fell on the night of June, and the summer heat came down to the world.On the first sunny day after the rain, a rainbow hangs in the sky.

A torrential rain in summer scours the world, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful in sunny days after the rain. How poetic and picturesque is this in the eyes of literati?

However, it fell into the mouths of ordinary people...

"Ganniss, God, you want to steam me to death, and it rains twice in three days, so you can't let people live?"

The summer rain is actually not very beautiful, because it is not like the lingering autumn rain. It usually stops suddenly. When the rain stops, it is majestic and roaring. When the rain stops, the heat wave hits people.

The poisonous sun evaporates the water vapor, and the feeling is almost the same as that of the sauna in later generations.If it's just hot weather, that's all. The heavy rain will also cause muddy roads, making people on the road miserable.

It was a father and son who were swearing in the sky just now. The father, the old man Tian, ​​had a loyal and honest face.The son, Tian Dazhuang, has a heroic face. He used to be a soldier of the youth government. He was originally stationed at the north gate of Chang'an City, and his service period just ended three months ago.

"Dad, take a rest!" Tian Dazhuang suddenly turned his head and complained to his father: "The weather is so hot and you still insist on hurrying. What if you fall down from heat stroke?"

The old man Tian raised his head and looked at the sky, grinning and scolding: "It's a shame that you are still a government soldier. You are too hot before noon today? You can rest if you want, and then drive five miles..."

"Father, I can bear it, mainly because I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." Tian Dazhuang wiped the hot sweat off his face, took out a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi from his arms and handed it to Old Man Tian, ​​and said with concern: "I Seeing that your breathing is uneven, drink this quickly."

The old man Tian sighed, raised his neck and poured the water of Huoxiang Zhengqi down, wiping his mouth and said, "I'm old, and a little useless. If it wasn't for our Houye taking care of the farmers from Tianjiazhuang, I really couldn't get it. Do you know how many people are competing for this coal supply business? There are thousands of people, and some people even brought two sets of ox carts and horses, just to get the coal supply contract."

Tian Dazhuang snorted and waved his long whip suddenly, and drove the ox cart to continue on the road. He looked at the old man Tian and said, "What if they prepared two sets of ox carts? Didn't they fail to compete with you? Our Marquis He is a nostalgic person, and if there is any good thing, let the farmers from Tianjiazhuang come first."

"So we have to work harder and be worthy of the care of Lord Hou, but don't dare to embarrass him..." The old man Tian sighed. With the long whip in his son's hand, he said loudly, "Let me come, you can rest for a while."

Tian Dazhuang glanced at the muddy road, and then at the oxen who were rushing hard, his eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly asked, "Father, how much can we make by transporting this car of coal to the research institute? money?"

"How much money can you make?" The old man snorted, and stretched out three fingers proudly, exaggerating: "Speak out and scare you to death, the principal of this car of coal is only [-], and it will be transported to the research institute at least If we can sell it for [-] yuan, our grandfather will make a net profit of [-] yuan..."

hiss--

Tian Dazhuang gasped.

[-] big money, according to the method of hanging [-] yuan, is [-] yuan.Heishi Mountain, where the coal is produced, is less than [-] miles away from the mutual market, and it is possible to make a trip back and forth in three days, which is equivalent to a profit of ten thousand dollars a day.

"Ten thousand dollars! My goodness, is our Marquis so rich?" Tian Dazhuang was shocked. As far as he knew, there were seventy or eighty ox carts supplied by the research institute, which was a huge expense. .

Let the common people earn ten coins a day, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would not dare to play like this.

What was Tian Dazhuang's treatment when he was a government soldier?Two catties of pancakes a day, plus five big money for the army's pay, being a soldier for a year is not as good as a trip to transport coal.It's not a business at all, it's faster than a robbery.

It is no wonder that when the Marquis of Jingyang left Chang'an, more than [-] people came along with their families, and some even sold their houses and land to raise money for the journey.

"You baby, do it well!" Old man Tian spat on his palms twice, then flicked his long whip, and said loudly: "Now our family has settled down in the exchange market. I am the first group of people who followed Master Hou to leave the customs. The clerk at the yamen allocated a courtyard house to our family according to Lord Hou’s instructions, the down payment is only 20%, and the rest of the mortgage is paid off in [-] years..."

When he said this, he glanced at his son, and said with longing on his face: "I already have a place to live, and now I just have to save money hard. As long as the two of us work together for a few years, I have to praise you for your wealth. Take a two-bedroom daughter-in-law and pass on the lineage."

Tian Dazhuang frowned and said, "Father, I'm not afraid of suffering, but I'm afraid that this business won't last long. Dozens of ox carts continue to send coal to the research institute. Does our Marquis have so much money?"

"Bullshit!" The old man Tian squinted and scolded: "Master Hou is very capable of making money. You have just arrived from Chang'an and haven't even taken a look at the mutual market. When you arrive at the mutual market, you will know how rich Lord Hou is."

He scolded his son a few words, and then explained: "Houye's super shopping mall covers an area of ​​more than 300 mu, and it is crowded with people every day. People from the Western Regions, Turks, Liaodong, these barbarians drive cattle, sheep and ginseng to the market for food. Buying and selling, if you earn money, you have to go to the supermarket. Hehehe, is the Crystal Palace so easy to shop? As long as they enter that door, no one can stand the temptation of precious goods, and finally they have to obediently take out the money and give it away. To Lord Hou..."

Tian Dazhuang's eyes flashed, and he was a little distrustful: "I also know that our Lord Hou will make money, but he can't always buy coal, right? I don't think it will last long for dozens of trucks a day."

"It's still bullshit, you dare to doubt the Lord Hou with your little ability?" The old man Tian snorted and said angrily: "Let me tell you the truth, Dad has already inquired clearly, this coke business will not collapse."

He glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "After all, our family is from Tianjiazhuang, and I can barely have a word or two with Lord Hou. Lord Hou has already told me that not long ago, the research institute invented the invention. The method of steelmaking, he got the steel supply contract from His Majesty, and the weapons of the Tang army will be supplied by the research institute. The supply of military weapons is the second, the most important thing is the amount of civilians, iron pots, shovels, iron spoons, cowards How much do you think this is?"

Tian Dazhuang took a breath of air again and said in surprise, "Dad, no wonder you are determined to buy an ox cart. It turns out that there is internal information."

The old man Tian smiled and said proudly: "This is the advantage of being born in a Tianjiazhuang. If the Lord Hou shows a little bit of words, we can make a fortune. Don't worry about this time, hurry up and drive the bullock cart. Let's try to reach the mutual market before sunset. . Now the research institute is building a second iron-making blast furnace, and the amount of coal is in short supply."

Tian Dazhuang was in good spirits. He didn't complain that the weather was hot anymore. He stepped forward and grabbed the long whip from the old man Tian's hand, and said loudly: "Dad, take a rest for a while, I'll drive the bullock cart and make sure it reaches the mutual market before dark."

While speaking, he flicked a beautiful whip suddenly, and the steer pulling the cart called "moo", and dragged the cart along the road continuously.

……

……

The vast grassland is boundless, the sky is high and white clouds are broad, and the grass is accompanied by the fragrance of flowers.Large flocks of cattle and sheep are leisurely grazing, and herdsmen grazing are singing loudly. Nomadic people are different from farming peoples. Their life is like living by water and grass.

When wars and plunder are not waged, the nation is also peaceful.

A steed suddenly appeared in the distance, galloping wildly across the grassland.The knight on the horse is not tall, but his muscles are high and bulging, and his eyes flash with light from time to time. He is obviously a very brave warrior.

The steed passed through a campsite and continued to gallop toward the south. A poor shepherd who was grazing suddenly covered her mouth with her hands, and cried out in shock, "The Heavenly Wolf God is above, I actually saw a warrior with four lines of blood..."

The herdsmen around her were shocked. The four blood-carved warriors were almost legendary. Any Turkic people could not help but want to see and see. However, when they looked up, they found that the horse had run far and far away. Far.

This galloping knight was not someone else, but the Howling Wolf from the Wild Wolf Clan.Seven days ago, his martial arts advanced again, and he finally reached the level of a Turkic archer.
