Chapter 289: Mozhou City and Huaqing Palace
The eldest grandson Wujian slowly took out the glass mirror that Li Tai gave him like a baby. While handing it to Li Shimin, he also explained: "Be careful not to fall, Qingque said that this thing is worth a hundred taels." ”
Li Shimin took the glass mirror from the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji. At first, I didn't feel anything, when Li Shimin saw the clear self in the mirror. I couldn't help but be surprised.
"This thing was given to you by the Green Sparrow?" Li Shimin asked again with confirmation.
"Of course, who else but the blue finch can make such a strange thing?" The eldest grandson said with a proud expression.
"It seems that this kid has a way to make money again, and now I can't figure it out. What the hell did he want to do? Li Shimin said with a sigh.
"Why is Erlang sighing so much, isn't it a good thing for Qingque to have a way to make money?" The eldest grandson asked puzzled.
"Today in the Jinluan Palace, Qingque actually proposed to build a city around the Huaqing Palace, and handed over the forbidden army of King Wei in his hand." Li Shimin said to the eldest grandson Wuji.
"The forbidden army of King Wei is an elite soldier that Qingque has injected a lot of effort into before it was trained. How could he be willing to hand over the forbidden army of King Wei to you. The eldest grandson Wujian was also very puzzled and said.
……
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. In the third year of Zhenguan, 629 A.D. In this year, Li Shimin appointed Fang Xuanling as the left servant, Du Ruhui as the right servant, and Wei Zheng as the secretary and supervisor to participate in the government.
Li Tai was also very busy during this time, and now the Huaqing Palace will be completed soon. That's nearly half a year ahead of two years.
At the same time, the four walls of Mozhou City had been completed. The walls of this Mozhou city are more than five battles wide and nearly three zhang high. It can be called a very majestic wall.
It's not that Li Tai didn't want to build the city wall too high, but Li Tai deliberately built the height of the city wall a little shorter than Chang'an City. In order to avoid someone taking advantage of the problem.
The credit for the completion of such a magnificent city wall so quickly naturally lies in the freshly fired cement. It can be said that the walls of Mozhou City built by Li Tai are all concrete structures.
Moreover, the city wall of Mozhou City is not the wall of an ordinary state capital. This is a combination of the Momen Gaojia Technique and the Momen Jingjiajian Construction Technique.
It can be said that the city wall of Mozhou City, even if there are only a few thousand people guarding it. Don't dare to say that it will block the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops. It is more than enough to block tens of thousands of people for a month.
Li Tai also asked Li Shimin for permission to build a statue of Mozi in the city of Mozhou. The statue is seven or eight feet tall and is made of granite. It looks very majestic.
Not only that, but the disciples of Momen all over the world also began to gradually gather in Mozhou City. The winner of the nine major families of Momen also came to Mozhou City. and returned to Momen and obeyed the orders of the Momen giant.
At the same time, Li Tai was also completely on the opposite side of Confucianism. The Confucian sects in the world have not criticized Li Tai in a word. It is said that Li Tai does not respect the three platforms and five constants, which is detrimental to the dignity of the royal family.
But Li Tai did his own thing, and never took those Confucian students to heart what they did. On the contrary, I did a few poems when I had nothing to do, and I used them to cultivate my sentiments.
However, the poems made by Li Tai, needless to say, everyone knows it. It's almost all plagiarized masterpieces. However, this made Li Tai's reputation even greater.
Nowadays, Mozhou City is not only a gathering place for the disciples of the Mo family, but also the heirs of other doctrines who have rushed over from Tiannan and Haibei.
Legalism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, Celebrity, Miscellaneous, Farmer, Family, Vertical and Horizontal Family, Soldier, Doctor. All appeared in the city of Mozhou.
This also made Mozhou City even more a thorn in the side of Confucianism. I can't wait to move Mozhou City to the ground for a while.
But with their verbal and written criticism, they couldn't shake the construction process of Mozhou City at all. In order to be able to oppose Li Tai, all the Confucian sects in the world threw themselves to Li Chengqian's side.
This has greatly consolidated Li Chengqian's power in the DPRK. Li Chengqian's suggestions in the court were strongly supported by almost all Confucian disciples.
For more than a year, Li Tai has not been to the Jinluan Hall a few times. He spent most of his time in the city of Mozhou, and now he has established the Datang Hospital and the Datang Bank in the city. Even the headquarters of Thirty-Three Heavens is ready to move to Mozhou City.
Moreover, Li Tai let Momen win the family and set up a college in Mozhou City to recruit civilian children to study. This made Li Tai stand on the opposite side of the world's clans.
However, Li Taihao didn't care about this, but did his own thing and engaged in development. He established many disciplines within that academy in the city of Mozhou.
For example, mathematics, history, geography, etc., are all compulsory courses for students of Mozhou City College. Moreover, Li Tai also opened physical education classes, developing modern sports projects to Datang.
In the past year or so, Li Tai has also made great progress in scientific research and industry. Shen Yunfei can already preliminarily refine aluminum. Although the amount of extraction is not very large, the purity is not very high. But I really saw aluminum.
Gao Ping also tinkered with the steam engine almost, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the steam engine will appear in Datang.
……
Throne room.
"Your Majesty, now the Huaqing Palace is about to be completed. It seems that it won't be long before the emperor can go to the Huaqing Pool in the Huaqing Palace to bathe. The eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin.
"It's nonsense, how can a huge palace be completed in just about a year and a half. This is simply a big joke in the world, and the minister thinks that it must be that the king of Wei must have used some strange and clever skills to build a useless palace in order to invite merit. Kong Yingda said.
"It seems that Master Kong should really go and see it. When the time comes, it will definitely make you shut your mouth. And now not only the construction of Huaqing Palace has been completed, but even the four walls of Mozhou City have also been completed. ”
"The construction of civil facilities in the city has also begun, and the statue of Mozi, which you strongly opposed at the time, has now been completed." The eldest grandson Wuji said to Kong Yingda.
"I said Old Man Kong, every day except for going to court, you go home to read. How would you know that things have changed so much as today? Isn't that something that can be done by reading the books of the sages in your mouth? Cheng Yanjin laughed and said to Kong Yingda.
In fact, not only Kong Yingda didn't believe it, but there were many civil and military ministers who didn't dare to believe it. After all, it is only about a year and a half, how can a huge palace be almost completed?
According to their understanding, in this year and a half, not to mention the completion of the entire palace. It's nice to be able to build the infrastructure.
"Since you Aiqing have your own opinions, then tomorrow I will drive Mozhou City, and the civil and military officials will go with me." Li Shimin said.
