One hundred and fifty-seventh section Changle king worship letter four]
Li Yuanxing must return to Qin Wangzhuang, because it has been eleven days in Datang.
This return to modern times is unusual. Not to mention the important treasure, it is Wu Zhao here. This is the first time that modern Ye Qiu Shuang's thinking has returned to modern times.
Therefore, after Cui Shuli came to inquire, Li Yuanxing chose to put the banquet place in Qin Wangzhuang.
It doesn't matter whether Qin Wangzhuang is simple or not at this time, the most important thing is the attitude of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty.
Leaving Chang'an from Mingde Gate, a straight road leads directly to Qin Wangzhuang.
Those merchants who were selling goods would not take this road. In addition to the commercial association land they bought, they also collected enough money and food to build four more roads, two of which were parallel to the east and west walls of the outer city of Chang'an.
There are also two roads that connect the original east and west avenues of Chang'an.
In addition to these four roads, there were originally several small roads.
However, these small roads are no longer accessible to people these days. No matter how tight the cover of the manure truck is, and no matter how dry the sheep and horse manure are, there is still an unpleasant smell. Fortunately, these small roads were originally meant to be abandoned, and they are so covered by the wheels.
Once pressed, people stepped on it, and the road became much wider.
When Li Yuanxing returned to Qin Wangzhuang, the appearance of the main village had not changed much. After all, this was where the King of Qin lived, and all the buildings had to be exquisite.
But things around Qin Wangzhuang have changed drastically. In just two days, hundreds of masonry houses have been built. As expected, there are 8,000 craftsmen, more than 10,000 handymen, and tens of thousands of villagers. The manpower is sufficient.
As long as you just pull apart and do it quickly, there is absolutely speed.
When Wu Zhao saw Li Yuanxing coming back, he pulled Li Yuanxing along excitedly.
"Shower!" Wu Zhao was very proud of his design.
But before Li Yuanxing went to see them, several people walked towards the village gate from passing by. King Qin's guards immediately went to block them.
The first person saluted: "My prince pays a visit to His Highness the King of Qin!" After saying that, he raised the greeting card with both hands above his head. Li Yuanxing looked at the man up and down. He was wearing a long silk dress, the accessories were luxurious, and the etiquette was in place.
But at this time, a prince sent a greeting card, which cannot be said to be strange.
In the early Tang Dynasty, only members of the Li family could be crowned kings.
The only one who has a closer relationship with Li Yuanxing, Li Xiaogong, is still on the grassland.
Cui Dunli approached Li Yuanxing and whispered: "People from Prince Changle's palace!"
Huh! Li Yuanxing smiled coldly: "Accept the post and tell me when you go back that I will be waiting for you on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month."
"Your Highness King Qin, there are still four and a half months until the twelfth lunar month!"
Li Yuanxing just winked, and Lao Lang slapped him in the face: "Bold, who are you?"
"How dare you..." He didn't dare to say what he was going to say next. Lao Lang's sword was already halfway out of its sheath. When he saw that Li Yuanxing had already entered the village and ignored him at all, the steward of the Changle Palace ran away with his head in his hands.
.
After entering the village, the old wolf asked: "Your Highness, that kind of thing should have one of his legs broken!"
Cui Dunli said with a smile: "This year's twelfth lunar month is only twenty-nine!"
The old wolf didn't quite understand and couldn't figure out what was going on. Wu Zhao, who was sitting on Su An's shoulder, hit the old wolf on the head with the small bamboo board in his hand: "How stupid, why don't you hurry up and give the order? Goodbye to those people."
The guy said that King Qin went to the mountains to enjoy the autumn."
The old wolf thanked him and went to deliver the order.
Cui Dunli said at this time: "Your Highness, King Changle is arrogant. Even the Holy One calls him Imperial Uncle. This person must be seeking something from Your Highness. Or he is greedy for something. Your Highness would be better to be careful!"
"Can you tell me, is it just King Changle or the Li family?"
The question asked by Li Yuanxing was quite pointed. Cui Dunli did not answer immediately. He was thinking.
What he was thinking about was not the question itself, but what he should say and to what extent he should say it.
As a member of the Bolingcui family, he also participated in the gathering of the seven surnames and ten families. Although he was only a spectator, he also understood that the seven families were in a period of cooperation with Qin King Li Yuanxing at this time.
In particular, Li Yuanxing's sentence, "One thing leads to another," has really become a famous saying.
Well, since you are the chief historian of the Prince of Qin's Palace, you must be loyal to this position. This is also in line with the famous saying, one thing will lead to another!
"Your Highness, this is a test by the Li family. But I can't guess whether there is the Emperor's intention behind it. If there is, it is less than 30%. If not, I believe they have also tested the Emperor's words. On the Holy Emperor's side, they
I don’t dare, but the Li family also strives for profit from the Holy One, so..." Cui Dunli said this.
If we continue talking, we will have to talk about Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty.
"I understand, thank you!" Li Yuanxing bowed his hand.
Cui Dunli hurriedly returned the courtesy: "As the chief historian of the Prince of Qin's Palace, this is my duty!"
The two of them continued walking into the village. Cui Dunli was also curious to see the bathroom. The others slowly moved away from the two of them, and even Wu Zhao did not approach.
Li Yuanxing asked again: "From the standpoint of Prince Qin's palace, and from the standpoint of the aristocratic family, how do you want me and the Li family to get along?"
Since Cui Dunli was determined to fulfill his long-lasting responsibility, he would naturally answer.
"No matter what stance, King Qin should ignore the Li royal family. They will definitely be suppressed. The Li royal family is not a royal family, not a holy king, and not a prince. The holy king will not let them take too much, and neither will the aristocratic family. Qin
The palace cannot get any benefits from them, so please tell me, Your Highness, how to get along with them?"
Cui Dunli’s rhetorical question is very good.
Li Yuanxing deeply admired the wisdom of the ancients, which must not be underestimated, especially in battles of wits and calculations.
Cui Dunli added: "But it can be done to people, not to clans!"
"I understand, there are some people in the Li Royal Family who can be friends, but they are not the Li Royal Family. They are different from the Aristocratic Family. The Aristocratic Family also has a family head and a clan leader. The Li Family Royal Family does not have a family head, and the clan leader is my royal brother.
.So they are just like scattered sand, and they are constantly fighting among themselves."
"Your Highness is so clever, this dish of water is extremely well described!"
Li Yuanxing smiled and said a few words of modesty, as he was not used to flattery yet.
Cui Dunli made another suggestion at this time: "Your Highness, since the Tang corn in the Qin Palace has been agreed to be exchanged with various families, it is better to demarcate the land in advance. One can say, let each family send people to learn how to grow Tang corn.
Law, and the other is to let each family look at their own piece of it. Only when they hold this thing in their own hands, everyone will feel at ease!"
"That makes sense! You can arrange it."
"Your Highness, the Holy One will come to offer sacrifices to heaven during the harvest, so it is better to leave it to the Ministry of Rites. The Prince of Qin's Palace will also save worry." Cui Dunli suggested again.
Li Yuanxing smiled: "Saving worry is one thing, but more importantly, no matter what, the Ministry of Rites should not find fault with me!"
Cui Dunli smiled but did not respond.
At this time, the two of them had already arrived in front of the bathroom designed by Wu Zhao. A guard opened the bamboo door and let Li Yuanxing in. Li Yuanxing said to himself, this is a modern employee bathhouse. First there is a changing room with cabinets.
clothing.
Further inside, there is a pool where you can take a bath.
Then, use a clay pipe to pass the water. There is a hole in the clay pipe halfway, which is the simplest shower.
He looked back at Wu Zhao and thought to himself that this thing is worth showing off.
But after Cui Dunli listened to the introduction of the craftsmen, he exclaimed that the design was brilliant, and bathing in the big pool was extremely pleasant. The sergeants had worked hard all day, but having this big pool was a great enjoyment. What’s even better is that there is hot water here.
Moreover, the pool is full of living water and will not become dirty just because there are so many people.
This shower is even more clever. It is extremely clever to purify the water and cleanse the body.
"It's just that Your Highness, this uses a lot of water, which can be used to divert stream water. But how much firewood does this hot water cost? Even if we use the coal that Your Highness mentioned, it will cost a lot. I don't know how much energy is needed for this daily cost.
Money!"
As the chief historian of the Qin Palace, Cui Dunli had the right to interrogate various expenditures of the Qin Palace.
What he was worried about was not the issue of coins, but his reputation. It would be extremely bad if word got out that King Qin was known for his luxury.
Li Yuanxing turned back and pointed at Wu Zhao: "Girl, it's time for you to become famous."
Cui Dunli was a little surprised and followed Li Yuanxing and Wu Zhao out of the bathroom and into the operating room at the back.
"Everyone, prepare!" Su An sent a message on behalf of Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao didn't want to say too much in front of Cui Dunli. This Qin Prince's Palace Chief Shi seemed to be a very cunning person. Before he could figure out his opponent, Wu Zhao thought he was still
It's best not to say too much.
Hearing Su An's words, Cui Dunli just thought that this matter was something that King Qin had already arranged and gave this little girl a false name to manage this matter. How smart could a three-year-old girl be?
After Su An gave the order, dozens of servants began to take their positions, each holding a torch in their hands.
The steward opened the water valve. This was water taken from the stream by the waterwheel. Several waterwheels took the water together and sent it from high places to the house with clay pipes. Another steward turned a wooden wheel, and the water was squeaking.
After the noise, the sound of airflow could be heard, and the dozen torches began to light up.
Soon there were hundreds of fire eyes burning in the house, and there were several pottery pipes that were discolored by the fire.
The water flows through the burned pottery pipe, and as the heat of the pottery pipe rises, hot water begins to flow out.
"Your Highness, this fire?" Cui Dunli was a little confused.
Li Yuanxing had already thought of his words: "Put those fecal and filthy things, together with weeds, wheat straw and other things into the clean pool. After a few days, the turbid gas will be discharged. This gas is flammable. If it is discharged between the sky and the earth, it will naturally be
It pollutes the air of heaven and earth. Therefore, use fire. Fire can purify the pollution. If the fire burns some water, it will not be wasted."
"May I ask, Your Highness, how much turbidity is there?"
"In the past few days, the nine hundred fire eyes could not be used up, so this bathroom was built. The foreman also made calculations. It seems that these sixteen large bathrooms are still inexhaustible. However, when the weather cools down, the turbidity will be generated slower, which is not the case.
Don’t worry anymore. Having hot water to take a bath in winter is a good thing for both sergeants and craftsmen!”
Cui Dunli raised his body and saluted: "Your Highness, the great virtue!"
"Actually, this turbidity is a trivial matter. After it is purified, it is a treasure of fertile land. The yield can be increased by 30% or doubled!"
Cui Dunli hadn't gotten up yet after he had bowed just now, but this time it really touched the depths of his heart. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
