Chapter 122: Butterfly's Wings

Ling Jing looked confused, patronizing the benefits of his suggestion. Forget that everything in this country is controlled by the royal family. Once you have the power comparable to the royal family, you will only attract bloody butcher knives. The twenty-year-old Hou Ye understands the truth, and he has lived a long time to live to a dog.

"Dong Weng ......! This......! Ling Jing was reckless! ”

"But it's not impossible, we definitely won't be able to eat this piece of meat. But it's no problem to find someone to eat with! Now that Ling Jing had this idea, Yun Hao felt that he should try it out. As for the partner, it can only be Li Yuan. However, if you actually control people, you have to think about it carefully.

"I can't rush this matter, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The king of Taiyuan has just died, and His Majesty is not in a good mood. At this time, if you go to say, you will definitely touch a nose of ash. When to say it, and by whom, you have to think carefully. Yun Hao comforted Ling Jing, daring to innovate is a good thing, and it should be encouraged.

Picking up the official document that Ling Jing had reviewed, the handwriting was neat and clear. is worthy of being the chief staff member under Dou Jiande, this kind of writing kung fu is really cultivated at home. It seems that I no longer have to use my two words to be ugly.

One time, Li Er saw the official document that Yun Hao had reviewed, and joked that Yun Hao's word was slush claws. Lao Tzu has not spent as much time holding a brush in his two lives as before you were seven years old. You have the ability, you compare the keyboard with Lao Tzu. Wubi Sogou is as you pick, and Lao Tzu ate the keyboard if you lose.

Ordinary official documents, Ling Jing can review them. But the official document sent from the palace with fire paint was not something that Ling Jing could touch. Ever since Yun Hao told Li Yuan about the importance of secrecy, Li Yuan has been very strict about secrecy. There have already been several nobles who have been demoted because of this kind of thing.

Picked up a letter bucket sealed with bamboo fire paint, and found a paper cutter to pick it up. took out the official document inside and looked at it, and the beautiful flying white hand was written by Li Yuan at first glance.

I have to admit that the ancient emperors were generous. Yun Hao's two battles in Bingzhou Shuofang completely ignited Li Yuan's confidence in gunpowder and oil. In the past, he still had an attitude of observation and asked Wen Daya to organize production. Now, Li Yuan is ready to throw off his arms and do it.

The problem of sulphur purification has always been a key problem in the production of gunpowder, and it is not a problem now. It's not that it is difficult to purify, just build more reactors for purification. The oil was a little troublesome, and I searched all over the land of Datang. That is, Li Daozong found a little bit in Shu, and this point also made Li Yuan very excited. has secretly ordered Li Daozong to dig in a big way.

I don't know which high-ranking person came up with the idea, but the taxes of the high-rollers from the Western Regions have now been changed to oil. When entering the customs, if you don't hand over a few truckloads of oil. Even if you give the chief a mountain of gold, he won't dare to let you in.

According to Li Yuan, within three years, the annual output of gunpowder and oil will exceed 10,000 catties. For this reason, even if it costs more manpower and material resources, it will not hesitate.

Yun Hao wanted to know which fool gave Li Yuan this idea, fire oil was not a rare thing in the Western Regions. A bag of Datang copper brother can be replaced with a car, now it's okay. The new source of wealth of the local tyrants in the Western Regions was born, and it is conceivable that those city lords and kings in the Western Regions are now fighting for the oil springs.

I believe that soon a big hooligan will come out of a group of hooligans. The big hooligans will monopolize the oil springs in the entire Western Regions, and the monopoly will inevitably bring about price increases. The two barrels of oil in later generations have become the national blood-pumping machine. I believe that those high-rollers in the Western Regions will choose the same method.

What's even more terrifying is that the Western Regions may also be under the influence of the Turks. Refining gasoline from petroleum is actually not technically difficult. In case the Turks got a way to make fire oil, it would be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty.

This matter has to be told to Wen Daya, Li Er captured more than 2,000 Turks in Hebei. These people are the best laborers, and Li Yuan stuffed people into Wen Daya in one go. If you run one or two, it will be a big problem.

Anyway, I haven't been to the academy for a few days, so I just went over to see it today.

Riding a horse with the majestic sea, the group went to the academy. Since Yun Hao was repeatedly assassinated, Xiong Kuohai has never let Yun Hao go out alone. Everywhere I went, I hugged each other. There are quite a few leaders.

I haven't been to the academy for a few months, but the academy still has a big change. The academy leaned against the edge of Lishan Mountain, and a tower was erected. Yun Hao made a visual inspection, and it was thirty or forty meters high. The tower is in the shape of a pyramid, and there is a gable along Lishan that connects the tower.

There are not only sentinels on the top of the tower, but also guys with red flags in their hands, echoing the watchtower on Lishan Mountain. From time to time, I call some signals or something, no wonder I am still two miles away from the academy. I saw Sheng Yanshi, this guy immediately waiting for him on the side of the road!

Sheng Yanshi made a great contribution this time, and Li Yuan was originally going to promote Sheng Yanshi to be the deputy general of Zuo Wuwei. But Sheng Yanshi didn't do anything, and he had to stay in the academy if he said anything. Yun Hao guessed, maybe he was frightened by what happened last time. The officialdom is weird, God knows when His Majesty the Emperor will throw a big black cauldron over and have to carry it himself. I can't afford to carry it, if someone else's black pot is backed, I will carry it, and Li Yuan's black pot is a terrible thing. The last time he killed Li Mi, he was almost pushed out by Li Yuan to sacrifice the flag.

It is estimated that Li Yuan also felt embarrassed, so Sheng Yanshi returned to the academy. However, the title was hung up as a broken general, and the title became Chang'an County Earl. Now people are also people with knighthoods, and they are one level worse than Yun Haolai.

"What's that?" Yun Hao asked, pointing to something like a pyramid.

"The fisherman built it, and said it could be used for watering flowers. The subordinates don't understand, anyway, the mountain chief agrees and doesn't need us to pay. ”

Yun Hao glanced at Sheng Yanshi with satisfaction, this attitude is very good, it doesn't matter to himself, this is the way to survive in officialdom for a long time.

He patted Sheng Yanshi's shoulder with satisfaction and asked, "Where is the old fisherman?" ”

"Over there!" Sheng Yanshi pointed to the pyramid building in the distance and said.

Following Sheng Yanshi to the bottom of the pyramid, Yun Hao really understood the enormity of this thing. No matter what Yun Hao thought, he couldn't associate this thing with watering flowers.

The fisherman was looking at the drawings, pointing and poking them from time to time. The Mo family disciple next to him nodded frequently, looking humble and studious.

"When did you come back?" It seemed to be telepathic, and the old guy turned back to Yun Hao and said a word, which startled Yun Hao. But seeing the lookout post at the top of the pyramid, Yun Hao immediately understood. With such a tall building, I am afraid that I can't escape the eyes of the old man for more than ten miles around.

"It's been a few days since I came back, and I've been busy with things outside the house. That's when I have time to come and see you! For a professional like Yu Lao, Yun Hao is still very polite.

"Look, how about the old man has been tinkering with in the past few months?" The fisherman handed over the drawings to Yun Hao to see.

After looking at it from top to bottom, Yun Hao's eyeballs almost didn't fall to the ground. This pyramid is actually a huge water tower, and with this thing, the dormitory buildings and teaching buildings of the academy can use running water. The gables that lead down from the Lishan Mountains are wrapped in ceramic pipes connected one by one.

This old fellow even thought that the iron would rust. That is, there is no plastic in these years, and if there is plastic, this old guy still doesn't make PVC pipes out?

"There are warm springs on the mountain, and water can flow down the gables. With such a short distance, it will not freeze even in winter. In this way, there is water in the building even in winter. How about not having to go to the well below to fetch water? The fisherman looked at his pristine water tower and was quite complacent.

What else is there to say, people think of building pipelines inside the wall to keep them warm. The winter in Guanzhong is much warmer than the winter in the northeast. The old guy's design, nine times out of ten, there will be no problem. Thinking that there would be running water during the Tang Dynasty, Yun Hao was very eager to see when he would be able to use electricity.

"With cement, this thing can be built before autumn." The old fisherman stroked his beard and was greatly satisfied when he saw Yun Hao's expression.

"Yun Hou, the old man hasn't gone to say hello yet. Returned triumphantly, and even a drink was not invited. It is said that the richer you are, the more careful you are, and the old man is talking about you. Before Yun Hao could recover from the shock, a gentle voice came from behind him.

"Hahaha! It's hard to say if you want to drink, so please ask for it today. The big guys are going, let's be lively tonight. Yun Hao learned from the old guy's heroic appearance and laughed. In any case, this time he was a triumphant returnee. I wanted to invite some colleagues who were close to each other, but I didn't want to be Liu Wenjing and Li Jiancheng one after another. Yun Hao didn't have the time to make trouble, but now he has nothing to do, so he just took this opportunity to get things done.

"Oh, tonight we can eat the Shangyun family's wine and food. The old man misses your Yun family's food, but it's not a day or two. If you are not at home, the family is full of women and children, and it is difficult for old husbands to come to the door to ask for it. Now that your kid is back, the old man must eat enough books. Wen Daya laughed.

"Exactly! Precisely! I don't know how to send good things to the old man, I don't know how to honor the old man, I should fight! "I heard that Yun Hao was going to have a treat, and the old fisherman was also interested.

Look left and right, there are no outsiders. Yun Hao hurriedly told Wen Daya about his worries, but when he saw Wen Daya and the old fisherman looking at each other, he laughed.

Looking at the two old guys who were laughing like convulsions, Yun Hao was also confused. I don't know where my words can be so funny.

"Hahaha!" The old fisherman wiped the tears that came out of the corners of his eyes and said, "Wait until your kid comes to remind you, the secret has already been probed by the Turks." It just so happens that your kid is here today, and you are also a member of the academy, so there are some things you should know. ”

used to say that ancient emperors had the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, but Yun Hao still didn't believe it. But now he believes!

At the foot of Lishan Mountain is a huge construction site where thousands of Turkic captives are cutting rocks. It was a mountain of almost granite, and the steaming fire was scorching the hard rock. After the fire is extinguished, someone will pour a large pot of vinegar on it.

After a burst of steaming smoke, the Turks casually poked with a steel drill, and a large piece of rock fell. Hard granite, at this point more like tofu.

"It's ......!" Yun Hao said with some puzzlement.

"We plan to hollow out this mountain and build a base for the manufacture of fire oil and gunpowder in it. In this way, just hold the exit. The people inside want to figure it out, unless they have the ability to turn into rats. Unfortunately, the production of gunpowder was really limited. Your Majesty is not allowed to use it indiscriminately, if you can use gunpowder. The old man felt that it could be completed in one year. Wen Daya said quite confidently.

Yun Hao agreed, such granite landforms. It is stronger than cement, and if you really use this primitive method, it is estimated that you will not even think about it for three or two years.

"During your absence, His Majesty came twice. They are all very dissatisfied with the production of gunpowder, and Datang now needs gunpowder, very, very much gunpowder. I heard that you fought well in Hebei, and the corpses of the Turks were piled up like hills. Wen Daya was very envious of Yun Hao's military exploits.

He is a civil servant, and he has no chance to go to the battlefield in this life. If you want to get martial arts, it's even more impossible. Datang established the country with military merits, and if you want to take the title to the next level, you must have military merits. Otherwise, every other generation, the title will decrease. In other words, when the title of Marquis of Wen Daya passed into the hands of his son, he became an earl. Another generation, that is, the viscount. If there are no outstanding characters in the family, but three generations will become ordinary people. The real wealth is only three generations!

"Hey......! When I was in Hebei, gunpowder was used in a provincial way. Or not enough production! If my Tang army is equipped with gunpowder, it will become a joke if nothing else is said about the Turkic Koubian. A few untrained soldiers can kill elite Turkic cavalry at will.

1,800 people, you can defend a county seat. Three or five thousand people can defend a big city like Mayi and Shuofang. The suffering of the government soldiers on the border will be greatly relieved. The finances of the imperial court will also save a large amount of money and grain for the construction of domestic people's livelihood. Gunpowder is really my Tang Dynasty. ”

"You don't have to wait too long, in two or three years you can mass-produce gunpowder and oil. Now, the imperial court is helping us stock up on materials. Once this place is built, the generals will never have to save it again! ”

"Your Majesty's repeated visits to the academy have already made the nobles look sideways. Now many nobles are thinking of stuffing their children into the academy. However, it seems that there are still many temptations. It was not the concubine who came, but the second son of the family. There are very few children who really let their sisters-in-law come, but we still charge a lot of tuition.

They are all well-known high-ranking families in Chang'an City, and no one is embarrassed to enter this door if they don't drag a car copper money. Speaking of the scenery these days, Wen Daya admired her wisdom at the beginning. The head of the academy is not bad at all compared to the majesty of the prime minister.

Yun Hao looked at the ant-like dense crowd and imagined the grandeur of this base after it was built. It is said that a butterfly in the Amazon jungle will stir its wings and set off a wave of power in the Atlantic. Perhaps, he is the butterfly that flutters its wings!
