However, the feeling of relaxation belongs to the feeling of relaxation. Since Wei Zheng and others are the real elites of China, they cannot think that the situation is really easy just because the situation has improved, there is no threat, and they feel relaxed.
Li Sheng's previous strategy of opening up the academy to allow more people to enroll while strictly controlling it, as well as various related discussions, just recalling it a little, let Wei Zheng and others know the future and destiny of the Tang Dynasty, still
It's four words.
There’s a long way to go!
What's more, today's Datang has not actually solved all the changes.
Qiuci, Gaochang, Tubo... and the most dangerous Western Turks, these are also powerful forces that cannot be ignored. What's more...
Now that everyone has been ordered by Li Er to deal with these problems, we can't ignore them even if we want to. We can only forge ahead.
…
After the planning in Ganlu Hall, Li Er, Wei Zheng... and other monarchs and ministers quickly got busy again.
Since the Forbidden Army wants to continue to eradicate threats to the Tang Dynasty, of course there is no room for leisure.
But Li Sheng has been really enjoying himself recently, after all...
Now that Datang's military strength is already very strong, there is no need to acquire anything extra. Of course, the fact that the military strength is already very strong is not the main factor. The main factor is that the talent supply mechanism of the academy system has been established.
As for cruise ships, of course there is no need to rush. Even Li Sheng suspected that he might go to Lingzhou on the border of Longyou, the Chengxi Academy in Chang'an, or the many colleges newly built at the end of last year.
The idea of a steel ship has been worked out, and maybe even the finished design drawings have been made.
Under such a good situation, Li Sheng is of course no longer as enthusiastic about internal combustion engines and steam engines as before, and is relatively idle. And because the design task of the cruise ship is quite huge and cannot be accomplished in a day, Li Sheng also took the opportunity to
First, several yachts were brought out, all of which were equipped with the latest internal combustion engines and sails - and the sails used this time were different from those in the past.
It uses solid long steel rods, not wood!
Because it is just a yacht, of course there is no need for large wood to make sails, but such a fresh design is the first of its kind in this era. And...
With the trend of sea trade and more and more factories, craftsmen were born in China. Without Li Sheng's intervention, the craftsmen also tinkered with many new things. Before, Li Er was accidentally used by Li Sheng
The discovery of the ear pick was just a sign, but when Li Sheng planned to build a sailboat this year, he unexpectedly discovered...
In order to gain more profits from the sea trade boom, dye shops in Lingnan even boiled and refined latex!
This discovery shocked Li Sheng for a hundred years, because according to Li Sheng's plan, if China wanted to use rubber on a large scale, it would at least have to wait until the ships that went to the Americas to explore the way came back, and then they would have the opportunity to bring more rubber, but
Rubber tree species that can be planted in large quantities.
And latex... In Li Sheng's mind, this stuff is all polymer material, which cannot be produced with the industrial foundation of this era.
But... after some research, Li Sheng finally understood that this latex was not the polymer latex of later generations, but was made by first refining a kind of gum and then boiling it.
Its function was originally intended to be used by dyehouses in Lingnan to make white clothing dyes, but they soon found that it was too thick and heavy for clothing... so they gave up and just tried to hand it over to relatives and friends engaged in sea trade to find a market in Chang'an.
It is a "product line" that has basically been cancelled.
But since it was discovered by Li Sheng personally, how could it not be uprooted? He decisively sent people to recruit the various members of this dyeing workshop, and directly received them under the command of the West Lake Industrial Zone. And... he also continued to extract latex.
With technology...or should we call it "craft" for the time being, Li Sheng also quickly invented latex paint.
Although Li Sheng did not study chemistry, he has been in China's "industrial circle" for so long, and of course he has gradually become familiar with many traditional paint-making techniques. Coupled with the "superpowers" of modern people, he can only use latex paint.
For Li Sheng, of course, it is easy to capture...
As a result, Li Sheng naturally took advantage of the situation and painted all the yachts on hand pure white, making the whole body pure white.
According to modern people's stereotypes of ancient times, the ancients were taboo on the color white and considered it an ominous color for funerals.
But in fact this is a misunderstanding, and Li Sheng certainly knew this when he came here.
In fact, it is not white that is taboo, but any color. In short, as long as it is "dyed", it is disrespectful at the funeral.
However, the undyed plain color woven from linen and cotton materials is somewhat close to white, so it can be misunderstood as having a problem.
Of course, because the etiquette and laws in China's agricultural era became more and more strict, not only did plain colors become the special colors for funerals, but white was also regarded as the color of funerals.
But this is the Tang Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, so the customs are not so rigid. Whether it is because of Li Er's edict on reform or hundreds of years of chaos, a lot of red tape has been abandoned. In short, the current white color is not
The color of the mold head.
Therefore, the scene of several of Li Sheng's sailboats leaving the factory in the West Lake Industrial Zone directly caused a sensation in the entire city of Hangzhou...
However, Li Sheng was not so excited during this grand event.
Although the sailboat is made great,... because the technology is still not mature enough after all, and there is no carbon fiber graphene technology that will be the most powerful in the future, so the ordinary steel rod mast... has to be connected to three poles in three directions of the sailboat.
This...will inevitably affect the aesthetics to some extent.
But that's it. Li Sheng never expected that the entire sailboat in the Tang Dynasty would be as beautiful as the luxury sailboats of later generations. Compared with this, Li Sheng cared more about another thing...
I originally guessed that whether it was Li Xiaogong or Li Er... after taking care of Silla and Baekje, they might start to attack the Japanese country in Japan.
But who knew... In the past few days, a group of Japanese missions have come to Hangzhou!
This group of envoys did not go to see Li Er, but also forced themselves two gifts, and these gifts were not ordinary gifts.
But two women, one from Baekje and one from Silla!
After questioning, Li Sheng found out that these two people had extraordinary status. One was the princess of Baekje, and the other was even more outrageous... Li Sheng was embarrassed to say that she was still the queen mother of Silla.
This made Li Sheng very embarrassed. After all, he had made up his mind to follow the example of Mr. Fan Li. With fame and wealth, he could almost enjoy life. But...
This group of Japanese Japanese didn't know what the wrong string was in their heads. They felt that the situation was not good, and they actually came to give me gifts!
