The next day, it was almost noon when Li Yuanxing woke up. He was really tired these days.
Wu Zhao woke up earlier and was sitting there eating snacks.
Seeing Li Yuanxing wake up, Wu Zhao said: "Isn't your Princess Changying pregnant? This is an excuse. Give them some good things for the Li family. I calculated that among the six rooms of their Li family, the Liaodong room
Because it has not been affected by the war, its strength in Youzhou is good."
Li Yuanxing said nothing and touched the cigarette beside the pillow.
Wu Zhao added: "Aren't the Khitans going to fight among themselves? You can encourage Li Changying to intervene and help the Khitan king."
Li Yuanxing still didn't speak. He picked up Wu Zhao's glass of milk and drank it. Then he stuffed a piece of pancake into his mouth and asked an irrelevant question with squinted eyes: "You said the Jinghe Power Plant is ready for use."
"I'm talking about Li Changying!" Wu Zhao saw Li Yuanxing coming to get her snack again, grabbed Li Yuanxing's hand and took a bite.
Li Yuanxing just smiled and didn't take it seriously at all.
Wu Zhao approached Li Yuanxing and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, what are you thinking about? Why have you been balancing the power of each family without weakening it at all? You have never cared about who is expanding particularly fiercely, but only support the weak one!"
"I'll talk about it when grandpa comes. You still can't understand this."
"What about the proposal I just made?" Wu Zhao asked again.
"Okay, that's a good idea. How about adding a match factory?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.
Wu Zhao nodded, quickly recorded it on his tablet, and then said: "I'm done with the opening of the new palace, I'm going to take a month off."
"After the New Year, I'll give you a month off!" Li Yuanxing was making a counteroffer.
"I'm going to dig jade, will you let me go?" Wu Zhao asked Li Yuanxing with a smile, but Li Yuanxing nodded seriously: "It's okay to dig once, but don't go to that place too much. It's not the territory of Tang Dynasty now, it's Tufan
Actually, I would rather you use the new airship after it has been tested for 10,000 miles!"
Wu Zhao nodded with satisfaction.
After having lunch at the Old Palace, Li Yuanxing and Li Er went to the New Palace together. The New Palace is in Longshouyuan, about ten miles north of the Old Palace. The main entrance is still on the central axis of Chang'an City. This is the main entrance of the Grand Palace.
What Tang Tianguan had calculated, no one could change it.
The palace is five miles from north to south and eight miles from east to west, covering an area of 40 square miles (not kilometers). The front palace has no walls, while the back palace has a wall of 1.7 feet high and a width of 7 feet. Horses cannot move, but they can walk side by side.
Walk up to a few people.
The palace is designed with an artificial lake to divert water from the Wei River.
The actual location of the Jinghe Power Plant is at the intersection of the Bahe River and the Weihe River, a little further north, about one mile away from the Jinghe River. Although it is at the intersection of three rivers, it is closer to the Jinghe River, so it is named Jinghe Power Plant.
.
The power plant is forty miles away from the New Imperial Palace. According to the thirteen poles per mile, more than fifty poles were used to reach the power plant.
It was impossible to place the power distribution room in the palace, so a separate power distribution room was built on the east side of the palace and divided into two lines, one leading to Chang'an City and the other to the palace.
Wu Zhao went to the Jinghe Power Plant in person, and she made an appointment with Li Yuanxing to officially start power transmission after dark.
Li Er and Li Yuanxing stood in the new hall of the palace, but Li Er didn't feel that there was anything special about his hall, at least it was not as gorgeous as the palace in the previous Sui Dynasty that was covered with dozens of kilograms of gold.
It's quite big and impressive.
"How about canceling all curfews in Chang'an City tonight?" Li Yuanxing asked Li Er.
Li Er was puzzled: "Is there anything special about it?"
"Let Chang'an order collect more taxes!" Li Yuanxing responded with a smile.
Li Er laughed loudly: "How much tax can be collected? Wulang is really telling a joke." Li Yuanxing did not laugh. He turned around and said to Eunuch Gao: "Eunuch Gao, please send a message to the king, saying that I invite Jingzhao.
Yin came to the new palace with the Chang'an Order, and he has an errand to help them with."
"Your Highness, despite your orders, don't dare to say anything about helping!" Eunuch Gao asked the eunuch to deliver the message and whispered back to Li Yuanxing.
He just summoned someone, but Li Er didn't take it seriously.
"Wu Lang, I see that the lamp in front of the palace gate is not as good as the one in the original study." Li Er saw the lamp. He had seen and used this thing before.
Li Yuanxing said with a smile: "The thickness of the glass of the small lamp placed on the emperor's table is only as thick as a piece of paper. The yield is extremely low, and a finished product costs almost a hundred cents. This kind of thing is easy to make, and one is only
The capital is five or six cents, and at most one or two out of a hundred will be bad."
The new lamp Li Yuanxing mentioned, in Wu Zhao's words, can be used as a can or bottle.
If you make it thicker and larger, it will be easier to pump out and re-inflate, and it will not be easy to break.
Li Yuanxing has never tested anything about power, and this is not his specialty.
Learning art in ancient times was very difficult. Having the opportunity to learn advanced skills represented wealth. The craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty were very hardworking. There would be night classes in the workshops under the name of the Prince of Qin's Palace at night. Not only the craftsmen under the name of the Prince of Qin's Palace
The craftsmen from the workshop will come, and even people from outside will come to listen.
Some people even traveled ten miles to attend the class, rain or shine.
"Wu Lang, you are not willing to cover my brother's chair with gold. You are too stingy." Li Er continued to pick at the trouble.
In Li Er's eyes, his new palace was really extremely poor.
When it came to chairs, Li Yuanxing was no longer willing: "Brother, I want to say, you don't know the goods!"
"Knowing the goods, can wood be more valuable than gold?" Li Er's tone was a few degrees higher. The new palace really disappointed him. At least in Li Er's eyes, the royal family should show nobility.
Li Yuanxing sighed: "My brother asked Feng Ang to get a few of these trees with great effort. Brother Huang went to smell the wood."
After Li Er smelled it, he said in surprise: "The fragrant air is made of wood, or Wulang asked someone to apply it on."
"Small-leaf red sandalwood takes less than an inch in a hundred years to grow into a tree as thick as an arm. It takes thousands or even tens of thousands of years at least. What's more, there are no big trees as thick as an arm at all. This tree
When it grows to seven inches, there is a saying that nine trees out of ten are empty, that is, they look complete on the outside, but they are empty on the inside.”
Li Er couldn't help but become interested after hearing the novelty.
Li Yuanxing continued: "This tree is one foot and three inches long. Feng Ang sent people to the southwest for more than a thousand miles to find it. It is definitely the king of red sandalwood. This tree is said to be invulnerable to all poisons and immortal. It can be made into chairs and used again."
The aroma will not disappear even after hundreds of years, and sitting on this chair also has the effect of strengthening your body."
Li Er then started to look at the chair again. It felt first-class and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Li Yuanxing said again: "Who can pull a piece like this? The red sandalwood is in Chang'an. According to the weight, he can charge as much as ten times the gold. And there will be no discounts in cash transactions." After that, Li Yuanxing took out another piece of gold.
Several carved wooden pieces: "Brother Emperor, this wood also has a name, called Qinglong wood, which wards off evil spirits."
"If you're not afraid of comparing goods, you're afraid of not knowing the goods." Li Er said with emotion.
Li Yuanxing smiled: "Brother Emperor, there is no electricity and the lights are not working. The marble used for the ground is a very rare sky blue marble. The pillars are covered with white marble. Although the wood used for the doors and windows is not as good as the green dragon."
Wood, but it is definitely something that dares to compare with gold. My brother said it harshly. It is a palace. In terms of weight, whoever exchanges it for an equal weight of gold will be secretly happy in his dreams. We don’t need to let anyone
If you really understand these things, those who don’t can just laugh at us as the Tang Dynasty is poor!”
Hahaha!
Li Er laughed heartily.
I remember Wu Zhao once said that what Li Yuanxing likes most is low-key luxury.
Sometimes it seems that Li Yuanxing is frugal, but many of the things he eats and uses are rare in the world. Li Yuanxing only cares about the actual benefits, who cares about being laughed at as the Prince of Qin's palace is poor.
But Li Er was different. He was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and publicity was his personality.
He secretly gave Eunuch Gao a wink. With one look, Eunuch Gao was so smart. He immediately understood what Li Yuanxing had just said, especially about the chair. He would definitely spread the news.
We don't do that kind of thing of walking at night in fine clothes. Wearing gorgeous clothes, we have to walk under the sun.
"This Wulang, brother, I see that there is an empty piece on the back of this chair, which can be inlaid with a piece of fine jade!"
"Don't wait any longer. I will ask Mingyue to pick up stones again in a while. Then I will get a few top-quality ones. If the emperor thinks the one is good, use that one. Then use the best jade to make it."
A few wine glasses and small plates for Brother Huang to use for meals. Or maybe the paperweight, pen holder, and pen holder on the table should all be replaced with the finest jade?"
Li Er was stunned for a moment and laughed loudly: "Wu Lang, brother, I heard it. You are talking sarcastically."
"The wine glass is the truth!" Li Yuanxing also laughed.
When Jingzhao Yin Dugu Xiude arrived, he heard laughter in the hall from a distance. After telling the eunuch to pass a message outside His Highness's door, he was allowed to enter the hall.
As soon as he saw Dugu Xiude, Li Er said loudly: "Wu Lang got me a wooden chair. Just to make the world think that I am more simple, I have to tell you. This wood is not ordinary, it is ten times the gold."
I won’t change the top quality Qinglong wood, I just want the world to know that I am rich in the Tang Dynasty!”
What is this? Dugu Xiude didn’t understand, and this was the reason why he was called here.
Li Yuanxing came up to him with a smile and took the initiative to salute:
"Yin of Dugu Prefecture, I have some troublesome things that I need to worry about. I'm not here to listen to the emperor's happy news. What I mean is that there will be no curfew in Chang'an tonight, and then I will send people to various shops to inquire. If there is no curfew, I will give you something.
How much revenue will the store increase? Finally, at night, Chang'an City will be as bright as daytime."
Li Er also said loudly: "Cultivation of virtue, order the wealthy merchants of Chang'an. I am in a good mood tonight and have fun with the people. Some wealthy merchants are allowed to come to the palace to participate in stone gambling. There are chambers of commerce that have been rewarded by heavy taxes from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and they can bet three yuan
.The rest may be two yuan or one yuan. Then we can arrange ten of the most famous restaurants in Chang'an and a palace competition. The required expenses..."
When the fee was mentioned, Li Er glanced at Li Yuanxing and laughed.
"Prince Qin's Mansion pays!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
