Chapter 314: Li Er's Cake

"This matter, the court will discuss it! Today, we're just looking at this guy who smokes. Chu Gong, you mean that as long as you have this thing as a driving force. So you can get the car to run on two rails? "It's always easier to procrastinate than to make a decision. Li Er's words pushed the matter to half a month later. As for what will happen to the Great Dynasty in half a month, only God knows.

The civilian-bureaucratic clique seems to be monolithic, but it is too easy for Li Er to divide and disintegrate them. Under Li Er's coercion, any organization will not last as long as the ice and snow in July.

"That's right! As long as the railroad, uh...... That is, those two rails. Wherever it goes, His Majesty's troops and supplies will also go. Yun Hao bowed and replied.

Li Er's thinking has always been domineering, and he keenly felt the role of the railway in military affairs at the first time. One of the most important reasons for the fact that the Grassland Campaign was so laborious was the problem of provisions.

The grain allocated by the imperial court needed mules, horses, carts, and ox carts to carry it, and if there were ox carts, there had to be grooms. For the safety of the road, it was also necessary to send troops to escort it. Of the ten percent of the grain, only two or three percent are left to the front line. If it weren't for the large area of high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn planted in Guanzhong, the imperial court would not have been able to support such a big war.

After all, people consume a limited amount of food, but horses consume more than two or three times more food than people. Raise horses and feed them well, and the horses that charge on the battlefield eat not grass, but real food.

People eat and horses chew, this amount of transportation is astronomical. Li Er is sometimes afraid of how he survived that difficult winter.

It's not the same with trains, just lay the rails. The train could pull mountains of grain to any corner of the empire. Not only is the transportation efficiency extremely high, but the transportation time is also greatly reduced. This is simply a great thing for the Tang army. If there were enough provisions, Li Er believed that his army would be able to fight to the edge of the sky.

"Railway, that's a good word. The decree was passed on, and the imperial court established the Ministry of Railways. Let......! Michihiko is here to be the minister! In charge of the world's railway affairs, the construction of the railway will be a major event for the imperial court in the future. Yun Hao, you have to get a car that can pull goods out as soon as possible, there is no railway, there is no car! "Li Er originally wanted Yun Hao to be the Minister of Railways, but after thinking about it, it was better to let Li Daoyan do it. Yun Hao is still more reliable in tinkering with good things, and it is more reassuring to hand over such an important matter to the clan.

"No!" Li Daoyan smiled, and a big pie fell from the sky. Fools know that the Ministry of Railways must be a fat shortage. In the future, the world's transportation will be managed by Lao Tzu.

"Within ten years, the railway will be spread all over the north and south of the Tang Dynasty. This is the first priority of the imperial court, and no matter who it is, it must not be hindered! Li Er announced to the courtiers with a solemn face that everyone was a spirit. The emperor spoke solemnly like this, indicating that he attached great importance to this matter. One can imagine what will happen to anyone who hinders the development of the railway.

After finalizing the matter of the railway, Li Er lost interest in other things. His interests are always utilitarian, and he will be very interested as long as it is beneficial to his country. It can be said that Li Er has detached himself from all low-level interests. Because low-level fun is too easy for him to get.

Yun Hao was a little depressed because the emperor was going to his house for dinner. Although the home on the edge of Qujiang Pond, Yun Hao himself has not lived in it a few times. However, it is also his own territory, and now it is almost filled by the Royal Forest Army, which makes Yun Hao still a little unhappy.

Being invited to dinner by the emperor is an honor for countless people. For many people, being able to enter the palace for a meal in this life can blow it for a lifetime. "I want to be in the Taiji Palace back then, and even ...... in the Taiji Palace!" It must be the mantra of this thing's bragging.

can invite the emperor to dinner, and he was forced to invite the emperor to dinner. That's a big problem, in case it spoils the emperor's stomach. That's not just a food safety issue, Li Er's many loyal doglegs will put things on the line. If you don't put the hat of killing the king and rebelling on your head, you will never stop. What's more, the Yun family is not without enemies in the court.

The Yun family's cooks can be regarded as having seen the world, and others will be scared to death when they see the Baiqi Division. But he couldn't frighten the Yun family chef who had seen the big scene, and the prince and others had seen too much. When the emperor came, he was just a relative of the princes. calmly watched the people of the Baiqi Division jumping up and down in the kitchen, and from time to time two of them came over, responsible for filling the fire into the stove. Labor that doesn't cost money, don't fuck it for nothing.

Many people believe that the emperor has to eat the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. didn't know that the Yun family entertained the emperor. It's just a pot of rice, four dishes and a bowl of soup. Add a small pot of grapes and that's all the emperor's lunch.

Not only the emperor, but even the prime ministers who followed the emperor to Yun's house to eat. Each person has a rice plate, and the only difference with the emperor is that the emperor uses a jade bowl and a jade plate. And the prime ministers use silver plates and silver bowls!

Ham and eggs, corn kernels, green beans, chili peppers, greens and stir-fried with rice. The side dishes are as delicate as possible and not greasy, people like Li Er have eaten them. You just give him lobster and abalone, and this thing can't taste good. Besides, the people of Guanzhong prefer to eat things on land, and they scoff at Yun Hao's coveted seafood, saying that it smells of sea.

A plate of beef in sauce is Li Er's favorite, although killing cattle is no longer a crime. But the imperial court did not have an explicit order, and the one who dared to eat beef for Li Er in person was the two hundred and five Chu Guogong. Li Er didn't realize that he was offended, and the sauced beef was dipped in garlic and chewed on it as soon as he threw it in his mouth. Take a bite of the cucumber sting skin, and seem to be interested in jellyfish that squeaks to eat. Another chopstick! The soup seems to be delicious, and it seems to be fatty slices and fans that have only recently appeared. I scooped a spoonful and put it in my mouth, and my eyes lit up and I began to gouge violently.

As if he had eaten with emotion, the silver chopsticks knocked on the jade bowl and said: "It is said that the Yun family is luxurious, but in fact, I seem to be exquisite." You see, the ingredients of the meal are so simple. But when the Yun family makes it, the taste is different. For example, this soup, an ordinary white meat vermicelli, is delicious in your mouth. ”

Yun Hao nodded awkwardly, my God. The famous Buddha jumped over the wall, and when you come to it, you are a fan of white meat. Eating this bowl of Buddha jumping over the wall in Guanzhong, there is no ten or eight coherent even the cost is not enough.

"Yun Hao, there aren't so many foreign officials here now. Tell me what it's like to get this thing you have developed to the extreme. After eating, Li Er said with tea in his hand. Yun Hao determined that this was the main reason why Li Er came to his house for dinner today.

In addition to the prince of the country, it is the prince. The marquis couldn't even touch the door, so it can be said that this courtyard is full of core figures of the Tang Dynasty.

"Now it's just burning coal, which can be used as a raw power for a lot of things under the action of air pressure. If we continue to improve, we will build oil-burning machines. In that case, the size of the machine will be much smaller, and the area of use will be much more. And, if you make a coal-burning machine to come. Maybe there is a machine that can fly into the sky. ”

"Flying? Like a hot air balloon? Li Er's eyes lit up, and he stood up from his seat at once. The tea soup that was overturned slipped down the table and fell to the ground.

"No, this time the flying sky is a real flying sky. They have the motivation to be autonomous, and they are able to grasp the direction freely. If that thing is really made one day, it will only be a matter of one day for His Majesty to visit Lingnan. Your Majesty wants to see this great country, which is very convenient. "The route from Xi'an to Sanya is generally three to four hours. In order not to surprise Li Er too much, he also had no confidence in drumming out the jet. Yun Hao felt that one day was enough to shock people's hearts.

"Good! Good! Good! You take the academy to continue your research, and I am only forty years old. Li Er was pacing left and right excitedly, flying to the sky! How many generations of dreams may really come true.

I've long wanted to go to the sky to see what the hell is going on. As the son of God, Li Er felt that he should go to see which father he had never met. But the hot air balloon is too dangerous, and I have to go up several times. They were all grabbed by the legs of the courtiers who were prostrating on the ground, and even the eldest grandson was alarmed. Under the gaze of the eldest grandson's tearful phoenix eyes, the helpless Li Er could only give up his dream of flying.

It's different now, with flying machines. If he can really succeed, his control over this empire will be greatly strengthened. The Tang Empire was too big, from the easternmost seashore to the westernmost Western Regions. Riding a horse is also going to run for half a year! Messaging, even more unthinkable.

It takes a month and a half for the Lingnan Song Shu to arrive in Chang'an. If there is a delay, it can be two or three months. The serious lag in the means of communication weakened Li Er's ability to rule the Tang Empire. If you have this kind of flying machine, you can reach Lingnan in one day. The Tang Empire will be firmly in its own hands. What a wonderful prospect! Li Er simply couldn't wait for a day, and now he wanted to go to Lingnan, or the vast Western Regions to have a look.

Look at this huge empire under your control, many places you can only imagine in the cantata. Li Er, who is full of ambitions and hegemony, wants to see the real mountains and rivers. Instead of a turtle, shrinking in this Chang'an City.

"No! Your Majesty! The minister must do his best, but there is still a lot of work to be done, not in a day! ”

"Don't worry, I said, I can afford to wait." Li Er is domineering, although the statement of long live is too dreamy. But for the three-digit age, Li Er still pursues it. At the suggestion of Sun Simiao, he quit drinking, and his diet gradually changed to light. Li Er's really wants to live for another 500 years!

Li Er left the Yun family with full of longing, and the eldest grandson also left with Li Er after conspiring with Zhang Miaoke.

"You kid is very calculating, just this sentence can make the Yun family immortal for generations. Terrible! Terrible! "Li Daoyan is a bad friend, and he doesn't know how to hide it when he is shirtless by the Yun family's swimming pool. Dugu Wanwan, who wanted to come to swim in the hot weather, saw Li Daoyan and hurriedly ran back to her yard. Even the fierce Helan muttered a few sentences and went to the bathhouse with her son in her arms.

"If you don't see through it, it's not a good friend to say it thoroughly. You open your mouth, throw everything out. It's also a shame that you are the king, otherwise you won't know if your head falls off one day. Yun Hao jumped up from the pool and lay down on the couch while wiping his body.

"Yes! Your Yun family has developed to this point, and it would have been a big accident to change to someone else's family. I didn't see Li Jing's house, and even the shadow wall was demolished. Standing on the street, you can see the hall of his house. You drew a big pie for my imperial brother, as long as my imperial brother still thinks about flying into the sky, he can't touch your Yun family at all.

But there is no accurate score for Feitian, so you will have enough time to break up the Yun family. To ensure the wealth of future generations, sometimes I have to say that your calculations are subtle. ”

"Hah! What if not? Challenging the imperial power? I'm not stupid enough to be there, the descendants of the Yun family can live this life in peace. No matter how powerful the Yun family is, it must not threaten the imperial power. If it really reaches that point one day, the Yun family will not be far from falling. You can say this to Your Majesty, the Yun family has never thought about rebellion. "Faithfulness must be done.

It is impossible for Li Daoyan to stay for no reason, and if you think about it with your ass, you will know that this is what Li Er meant. It is very important to test the Yun family's thoughts, this is Li Er's consistent attitude towards his courtiers. Most of the people who can be tempted by Li Er will probably have nothing to do. The most feared thing is not to be tempted, then what awaits you will be a thunderous blow. Such a family usually has a broken family, a dead wife, and a miserable person.

"You kid, you're a monkey if you stick to your hair!

After the official business is done, it is now what we brothers say. How to build this railway, Your Majesty gave me this errand. If I can't do it well, I will be too useless in the eyes of the royal brother in the future. If there is a good thing in the future, will it be my turn? "Li Daoyan is a gentleman, but he is different from other gentlemen, that is, modesty. If you don't understand something, you must not be ashamed to ask. If Yun Hao said now, the dog who served tea and water knew how to build a railway. Li Daoyan will immediately ask for advice politely, as for how to treat the master after mastering all the skills, it is another matter.

"The matter of repairing the railway, although His Majesty nodded. But I suggest that you organize some specialized talents, although the local labor is good. But these laborers have only one arm of strength, and no professional skills. They serve as conscripts and don't pay them, and if something happens after the train opens, you're the one who is unlucky. When the time comes, even if you find the man and kill them, it will be useless.

You can ask Your Majesty for an army to be recruited. This army does not fight, but is specifically responsible for building railways. This is not only convenient for management, but also can ensure the quality of the railway. ”
