During the Tang Dynasty, people in Luoyang paid close attention to the conclusion of a coffin!
What is the most stressful thing about the Qu Tu family? That is that their family was loyal to the Sui Dynasty and fought against the Tang Dynasty. After the defeat, they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. This is a political stain, to put it harshly.
Li Yuanxing's article, which is only a few words long, does not hide the fact that Qu Tutong was once a surrendered general.
A very pertinent review.
Qu Tushou knelt down and knocked his head heavily on the stone slab, breaking the stone slab on the ground into pieces.
Li Yuanxing put the pen on the pen holder and glanced at the spiritual tablet: "Old General, rest in peace!" After saying that, Li Yuanxing turned around and walked out. Everyone saluted. The people of Qu Tu's family quickly took the tablet from Lu Maofeng and wrote
The words on the white silk are hung in the middle of the mourning hall.
Although Li Yuanxing was not named, he did not use his seal.
But hundreds of Luoyang nobles looked at it, and His Highness King Qin also wrote it in front of everyone. This represents the attitude of the royal family.
Li Yuanxing, King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, left without notifying anyone. He left Luoyang City in his car early the next morning without anyone seeing him off. When Luoyang officials learned the news, Li Yuanxing's car had already traveled far away.
"Your Highness, Li Zhengbao rushed back from the east of Luoyang before dawn today. He didn't come to see you. Instead, he cried in front of the grave of old General Qu Tu. He was so sad that even General Qu Tu couldn't bear it.
Then I cried a lot. Originally, I said it was such a white wedding that there was no need to cry loudly!"
Lu Maofeng was riding a horse beside Li Yuanxing's carriage, saying nothing.
Li Yuanxing just smiled slightly.
The old wolf rode over at this time. When he saw Lu Maofeng talking nonsense, he cursed fiercely: "Go ahead and make arrangements for tonight!"
In front of the old wolf, Lu Maofeng did not dare to stab him. He performed a military salute and then flew forward.
It takes Li Yuanxing several days to drive from Luoyang to Chang'an. It can take five or six days without wind or rain. If the weather is bad, it will take at least ten days. The option of staying overnight every night is a safe protection.
All problems need to be solved in advance.
After driving away Lu Maofeng, Lao Lang approached Li Yuanxing's carriage: "Your Highness, General Qin sent a letter saying that General Hou has returned to Chang'an. He signed a form of apology in front of the Holy Lord and presented eight hundred taels of gold. Speaking of this, half of it is
He shouldn’t have received the other half because he thought he had done something wrong and accepted the punishment!”
"I know." Li Yuanxing replied lightly.
The old wolf saluted, nodded to the guard beside the chariot, and then rode away.
At this time, in the Qinwangzhuang in Chang'an, Li Min was handing the note written by Li Yuanxing to Wu Zhao, but Wu Zhao only glanced at it and smiled: "I just thought of it now, but it is very interesting.
.It’s just that our Highness is not perfect, but he thought of it half a step too late.”
Li Min didn't understand what Wu Zhao was saying.
Wu Zhao folded the note at this time: "Go and take all the craftsmen in your workshop and move to Yaozhou. There, you will really have faster cars."
"Thank you, Aunt Huang, thank you, Aunt Huang!" Li Min's face was full of excitement.
It was too complicated for him to understand, but when Wu Zhao asked him to have a faster car, he understood it.
It has been almost two months since Li Yuanxing left Chang'an.
He didn't know that when he was not at home, the woman at home would be really shaken up.
Just in front of the shopping street, Cui Yingying and Cui Yanyan, two girls who were somewhat estranged from each other, were working closely together. It was precisely because Li Yuanxing was not in Zhuangzi that they had the opportunity to do such a great thing.
Wu Zhao only used five sentences to mobilize the enthusiasm in their hearts.
Cui Yingying and Cui Yanyan each have a small bamboo board in their hands. It is longer and wider than the one in Wu Zhao. The handle is wrapped with gold wire and the hand guard is inlaid with gems. A professional painter has made a picture on the top of the bamboo board.
Exquisite paintings are then carved on bamboo boards.
This bamboo board is a work of art in itself.
"There are still two days left. If anyone makes another mistake, money will be deducted, money will be deducted, money will be deducted!" Cui Yanyan shouted and deducted money three times in a row, then walked back to the high platform, waving the small bamboo board in her hand: "Do it again, let's start.
!”
What are you doing here?
The people of the Tang Dynasty didn't understand it at all, and there were dozens of female cavalry guarding the perimeter, so the people couldn't get close.
If Li Yuanxing were here, he would be able to tell at a glance that this scene seems like Spring Festival travel. In fact, this is a train station that appeared in a train station in Datang more than a thousand years in advance. The waiting area is divided into VIP area and ordinary area.
In the lowly service area, people can have different ranks, but for the kindness of the Tang Dynasty royal family, the lowly servicemen were also given a chance to take the train.
Cui Yingying was currently in the huge parking room, watching the craftsmen finally adjusting the huge iron car.
This is not what the trains look like in later generations, this is the style of the Tang Dynasty.
Ma Yuan, a genius in mechanics, relied on the 3D model given by Wu Zhao and built the first steam engine in the Tang Dynasty in just forty-five days.
"Princess, Princess Mingyue said that this machine is the best even if it is placed in the heaven. It uses multi-cylinder heating technology. Princess Mingyue calls it a multi-expansion steam engine. Based on the calculation method provided by Princess Mingyue, this machine
A steam engine is equivalent to the power of 800 horses!" Ma Yuan introduced at the side, with a proud look on his face.
Cui Yingying sighed softly: "It is thirty miles from Commercial Association Street to Chang'an Mingde Gate, but 600,000 kilograms of second-grade fine steel was used. I wonder if His Highness will be angry when he comes back!"
When Ma Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but tremble.
"Princess Mingyue said..."
Ma originally wanted to move Princess Mingyue out, but then he thought that it was very respectful of him to say these words in his capacity, so he immediately shut up and stepped aside.
"Debugging again, can't fail!"
Cui Yingying was very nervous, even though she knew clearly that she could not put any more pressure on the craftsmen at this time.
After Ma Yuan saluted, he immediately went to inspect the locomotive again.
After having Eucommia Gum and the sealing problem was solved, Wu Zhao couldn't help but start thinking about the steam engine. Unfortunately, it happened that there was a natural disaster in Luoyang, but Wu Zhao didn't want to wait.
With an order from Qin Wangzhuang and an imperial edict from Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty, Yaozhou worked hard for fifty days, with an average investment of more than 30,000 manpower per day, and now the results are achieved.
Li Min was moving. He didn't notice what happened on Commercial Association Street at all. His mind had already flown to Yaozhou.
Li Er came to Qin Wangzhuang in a light carriage, but he didn't bring anyone with him except for his personal guard.
"By the way, if this fails, even I will be a little nervous." Li Er sipped the tea and sighed softly.
Wu Zhao sat there and ate snacks: "It's okay. If we lose, just say it was my fault."
"Ha, hahaha!" Li Er pointed at Wu Zhao and laughed, while shaking his head helplessly: "Girl, who do you think I am? If something goes wrong, I will ask you to take the blame on my behalf, for fear that it will be my children.
They will all look down upon me."
Wu Zhao shrugged his shoulders, took out a pocket watch and looked at it: "Test the car the day after tomorrow, there are still twenty hours."
"Six hundred and fifty thousand kilograms of fine steel, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even in the past dynasties, has never been so generous. I have ordered all news to be blocked. I want to see Luoyang!"
"Ming Yue said that when this development reaches its peak, Hangzhou will be destroyed in one day!"
"Okay, even if Wu Lang is dissatisfied when he comes back, let him come to me. This time, if the success is successful, I will give you a promise. As long as it is not too outrageous, as long as you make any request, girl, I will grant it to you!" Li
Er's ambition was once again provoked by Wu Zhao.
One day in Hangzhou is just a metaphor. What really moved Li Er's heart was one day in Yizhou.
conquer!
Speed and daily distance represent the territory that can be absolutely controlled. This theory was fully supported by Li Er as soon as Wu Zhao proposed it. A distance of one day by a fast horse is indeed the place where the imperial power has the tightest control. As for Lingnan, it takes a month to walk like this.
In this place, Li Er is really powerless.
Even if Feng An sat down and proclaimed himself king, Li Er could only watch.
Li Er was able to convince Wu Zhao with a few words, but Li Er knew very well that if he could reach Lingnan in five days, then Chang'an would have as tight control over Lingnan as it did over Luoyang.
Li Yuanxing didn't know all this.
Because Wu Zhao had no intention of telling Li Yuanxing, Li Yuanxing was already troubled enough in Luoyang, and more importantly, Wu Zhao thought Li Yuanxing looked down on women too much.
Locking seven extremely smart princesses in the backyard is obvious male chauvinism.
"Come here, deliver a letter to His Highness." Wu Zhao took out the letter paper, wrote a letter, and ordered it to be delivered.
Early the next morning, the Tang Dynasty Newspaper, the most official newspaper of the Tang Dynasty, had a headline on the front page, written by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty: Chang'an to Commercial Association Street can be traveled back and forth in half an hour. The power of the Tang Dynasty can be used to resist fire!
What's this?
After receiving Li Er's authorization, the Ministry of Industry released some information appropriately. Various tabloids wrote that the train was a hundred feet long and could carry a thousand people. It could travel between Chang'an and Commercial Association Street in half an hour.
At this time, the people noticed that the curtain was pulled down on the house outside Mingde Gate that was surrounded and guarded by guards, and a letter was written with the words "Train Station" in large characters.
That night, Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Changsun of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zhao, Cui Yingying and other four concubines of the King of Qin who stayed in Chang'an all came to the parking shed located on Commercial Association Street.
It can be said that the steam engine of this train is cleverly designed, but not exquisitely made. Including the water tank, the length is eight meters. The test power is only one-third of the same size in later generations.
There is no beautiful metal shell, just a bamboo casing.
The carriage at the back is made of thick wood. Only the wheels, axles, etc. are made of fine steel. There are no springs, and the kind of steel plate shock absorption used in early load trucks in later generations is used. The carriage is made of tent cloth, and the rows are made of fine steel.
There are rows of seats, and then there are guardrails. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
