Chapter 572
In the summer of Chang'an, it gets dark late, and wormwood is smoked everywhere in the yard. This is one of the best ways to repel mosquitoes, and of course mosquito coils will be lit in the Yun family's house. Little mosquitoes are the most annoying thing in summer, and there is no such thing!
In one of the Yun family's houses, the chubby Yun Dabao wiped the sweat from his head. People who are fat love to sweat, and this is also something that can't be helped. Thinking about the benefits of fat people, this flaw is negligible.
One of the benefits of being fat is that fat people look stupid. It doesn't matter if you're stupid or not, people will think you're stupid.
This is very important!
The Yun family has already produced one of the smartest people in the Tang Dynasty, and there can be no more smart people. If people see that the Yun family is full of spirits, then the Yun family will not be far from the catastrophe.
Dad was outside with an army of 100,000 almost all the way to the edge of the sky, and many veterans came back from the Western Regions a few days ago. When everyone passed by the Yun family, they would give a salute in front of the door.
I heard that in addition to the rewards of the imperial court, each of these people made a windfall. There are not a few people who buy houses in Chang'an, and as soon as the armor is taken off, they immediately become the slaves of the rich lord!
Of course, there are not many people who have this kind of blessing. Because Li Er did not intend to disband this team with rich combat experience, he just removed some people who were not suitable for continued service. After most of them were dispersed, they were arranged into the sixteen guards.
In the past two years, the sixteen guards have been redressed on a large scale, and firearms have become a common equipment in the army. In the depths of the Lishan Mountains and the Qinling Mountains, there are several places where there are huge gunpowder factories.
According to Yun Hao's advice, these places are all deep in the mountains and old forests. The workers used were all death row prisoners. Instead of letting them be stabbed on Suzaku Street, it is better to throw them in the mountains to exert their residual heat. You can continue to live and contribute to the country. It's a win-win deal! Of course, it was announced that these people had already been executed.
The Nanshan Proving Ground is now rumbling all day long, because the 16 guards have to take turns training in the use of firearms there.
The army has no battle to fight, so it can only use training to vent its remaining energy. Lao Cheng, Lao Niu, and Yu Chigong pouted every day when they went to court! Now the only generals in the army who are fighting are the three of them! Although it is far away, after all, he has combat experience. Fools know that the children of the three families will be reused when they come back.
Of course, the Yun family is also at war. But it seems that everyone has selectively forgotten the Yun family, and now the Yun family seems to have disappeared in the political life of the Tang Dynasty. No one in the Yun family stood on duty in the court, and there was not even a puppet who put on a show.
The heirs of the Yun family stayed at home all day long, and the court originally had the intention to deal with several groups of forces of the Yun family. Seeing that the eldest son of the Yun family seemed to be the same as his father, he was ready to squat at home. Categorically burned the impeachment of the Yun family, and it was unwise to impeach the Yun family at this time, because his family really didn't have many pigtails to catch.
"It's done!" Seeing the lighted light bulb, Yun Dabao waved his arm excitedly.
Wrap it around with a copper coin, and you can send out something that my father said was called electricity. This thing can light a light bulb, much brighter than a kerosene lamp. However, the biggest problem is that when you light it up, it emits a lot of heat. I searched for a lot of materials, but I couldn't last long. Eventually, Yun Dabao found something called tungsten to make a filament.
This is the same as the filament has been lit continuously for three days and three nights without extinguishing, this is continuous ignition. If it had been ignited intermittently, it would never have taken so long.
"Finally it worked!" Yun Dabao was very excited. For this moment, he has experimented with no less than a thousand materials. Even, he even pulled Li Yanrong's hair down. Just to see if the hair can be used as a filament.
There are so many girls with long hair in Chang'an City, and they don't have to worry about having no raw materials.
"Brother! You're bright, but you can listen to the steam engine behind you. What's the difference between this and getting an airship at home, my mother and my mother have moved to live in another courtyard, just to hide from your machine. This kind of thing, you also plan to install it in the whole Chang'an, this is impossible! San Bao pouted, because it involved the core secret of the Yun family. It can only be done by the sons of the Yun family, and Erbao can't do it.
That girl is now having a good time with a few old ladies in the courtyard. Boy, it's a hard life!
"It's okay, Daddy says things are always getting better. Someday, things will reach your needs. You see, now the filament research has been successful. The next step is to study how to reduce the noise of generators. What do you think about digging a deeper cellar and putting a generator in it? ”
Sanbao turned his head and left, the brother who looked fat as a pig was really smart. Placing the generator in the cellar underneath the ground can indeed greatly reduce the noise. If you put a layer of rubber on the wall, it should be better to insulate the sound.
In front of his brother, Sambo felt that he was the idiot. It's a bad feeling to be a fool, so Sambo decides to play with some stupid people to prove that he is very smart. Cheng Chubi is a good choice, the guys in the old Cheng family are all guys who only have muscles and no brains. A few days ago, he went out with Yu Chi Baoqi and actually beat Li Hui, the son of Li Tai, the king of Wei.
The children of the Xungui family are fighting, which is not a big deal. But with the use of guards, the scene is spectacular. I heard that on Suzaku Street, two groups of people slashed each other with knives, and the scene was spectacular. Of course, the guards in King Wei's house are not as good as the outlaws who came down from the battlefield. was blocked in the door and didn't dare to come out, and King Wei's people were thrown to his grandmother's house.
When the emperor heard the news, he even lifted the table.
As I passed by the backyard, I saw a huge pit being dug in the ground. Sambo knew that this was where the eldest brother was going to install the generator set. The biggest advantage here is that it is relatively close to the lake in the inner courtyard, and if there is an accident, the lake water can be poured in. Without causing further danger, it seems that the Yun family will soon be able to use electric lights.
"Go out to play and bring the male and male two, Chang'an has been chaotic recently." Yun Dabao's voice came from far away from the room.
Sanbao goes out to make trouble, which he likes to see, and other people's families are out of trouble. The Yun family should come up with one, anyway, the Yun family is just the two of them. It's not appropriate for me to be a big brother, so I can only work hard brother. However, the Yun family's guards are even more fierce than the Cheng family and the Wei Chi family!
Because Xiong Ye's two sons, the twins Xiong Da and Xiong Er, have now become the head of the Yun family's guards. According to Yun Hao, as long as the Xiong family wants to do this position, it can be hereditary to the Xiong family.
It's like there are hundreds of stewards in the outer courtyard of the Yun family, but the stewards in the inner courtyard are all surnamed Liu. It's all an old thing, I heard my grandmother say that in the Jinyang era, the people of the Liu family were in charge of the Yun family.
Clothes are not as good as newcomers, this is a sentence that grandma often says. However, the people of the Liu family are indeed very clever and can handle the affairs of the family very well. Sanbao believes that it is not a big deal to let the Liu family be the hereditary steward.
"The third child ran again, and this thing called electricity should be a new type of power. In addition to lighting the lamp, can it also drive the propeller to rotate and blow the wind? It's definitely nice to have a guy who can blow the wind on a hot day. But how do you blow the wind? How do you get the propeller to spin? Yun Dabao muttered to himself, developing all his brains to think about a rotating propeller and how to blow the wind out.
Daddy said that power generation will be a huge business in the future. After seeing the power of electricity with his own eyes, Yun Dabao thought that Daddy was right. As long as the Yun family firmly grasps the power generation industry, the Yun family will become a huge rich man.
Li Er is very calm now, and the two older sons are harmonious on the surface. Secretly, it is a fight to the death, and another son who is qualified to inherit the throne is thousands of miles away to fight military exploits and see what the real battlefield is. As a candidate for the prince of the new generation of Tang Emperors, how can he succeed if he has not been on the battlefield.
There are also two factions in the court, because there are more people who support Li Tai in the son-in-law. Because he is the grandson of the former Sui Emperor, Li Ke, who has two generations of royal blood, also has many followers.
What surprised Li Er was that Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong expressed their position in another way. That is to let their son beat Li Tai's son, not only did they beat Li Tai's son Li Hui did not dare to go out. even knocked out the front teeth of Li Ke's son Li Xuan!
Although Li Er was caught and hit the board, it was obvious that several families didn't take this matter to heart.
This is a clear political statement, the Cheng family, the Wei Chi family, the Niu family and other generals will not be attached to any force. In their eyes, only the emperor is the only one who gives orders.
Li Er was very satisfied with this, and these generals had little influence on the government. But it has a huge influence on the army, and the old troops are all over the army. Even Li Er didn't dare to underestimate this force.
If there is no army involved in the fight between the two sides, there will be no problem. Anyway, if you fight back and forth, you can't mess up the country. With the army as the cornerstone, the country can't be chaotic even if it wants to.
The Taiji Hall was still as quiet as ever, and Li Er was concentrating on reviewing the chapters. He controls such a vast empire in his hands, running from the easternmost to the westernmost part. It takes a year to ride the fastest horse.
Li Er sometimes feels a little powerless. The empire is too big, and there are so many things that happen every day. Wanting to make a law, Li Er was saddened to find. Some systems work in one place, but not in another.
The same rice can feed all kinds of people, but the same system cannot control such a huge empire. Sometimes I really want to drag Yun Hao back from the front line and listen to his opinion. This kid is surprisingly lazy, but he does not delay the Yun family from becoming a wealthy man in the Tang Dynasty. I want to be lazy, but I can't!
After grading a bunch of pieces every day, more pieces are always presented.
The furnaces of the three provinces are burning like mountains every day, and the ones who can be sent to them are already Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji. Sifted and sifted, selected and selected.
This winter, Li Er really wanted to go to Hainan for a leisure. There are more and more places where coal is used, and the air in Chang'an is getting worse and worse. The eldest grandson, who suffers from asthma, is a torment every winter.
Hainan is a good place, and the eldest grandson will be much more comfortable when he gets there.
But I can't help it, I really can't leave. These two sons, which prison country is left behind, pushes uncertainty to the extreme.
There is still a war going on in the distance, and this is a war of revenge. Zhang Liang is also a warrior who followed his birth to death, and now his head has been made into a night pot, which is an intolerable insult.
So far, Yun Hao is doing well there. I heard that a 2,000-year-old city is being attacked!
What that place was like, Li Er was very curious. According to the doctrine of the Hung Sect, it is a place where milk and honey flow. Li Er didn't know if there was milk and honey, but Li Er knew that there was an inexhaustible supply of fire oil.
This is a good thing, Datang now has a lot of steam engines that burn not coal but oil. How many times, Li Er was so troubled by the oil shortage that he couldn't sleep. Now, huge ships can transport tens of thousands of tons of oil from the distant Middle East back to Datang in one go.
In the sky of Datang, there are more and more airships. It's getting faster and faster, but it's getting smaller. This is due to the abundant supply of fuel.
On the sea surface of Datang, there are also more and more sailing ships. These sailboats no longer had to carry a mountain of coal, but only a few barrels of oil. Ocean-going freighters have also increased their speed because of mechanical power.
Now it only takes three months to travel from Quanzhou or Guangzhou to the far Middle East. You know, this used to be a year of sailing. Seeing Yun Hao's letter, Datang's oil supply for three hundred years without worrying, Li Er was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Energy is so important to this fast-growing country that God seems unfair. There are not many oil springs in Datang. But according to Yun Hao, the Middle East is everywhere.
Now, there is also a good place in the Middle East that also belongs to Datang. The latest name there is called, the Tang Dynasty Persian Protectorate. Every day, there are huge oil tankers, transporting tens of thousands of catties of hot oil to Datang.
Zhao Jiang walked in and saluted Li Ershen.
"What's wrong?" Li Er asked lightly. When Zhao Jiang came at this time, there was usually something going on.
"Your Majesty! The third son of the Chu family had a quarrel with the king of Langling County in Qinglou for some reason. The homes of both sides will be in a mess, and Jin Wuwei's people will not dare to take care of it. Now the generals of Yunfu have blocked the king of Langling County in the palace of King Wu and dare not come out. ”
"Oh! This is an interesting thing, wait for the three treasures of the Yun family to beat Li Xin, and then report to me! "The Yun family's attitude is very important now, and Li Er really wants to see what position the Yun family stands.
