He was so busy that he didn't even have time to go home for the New Year. The Magic Factory had almost become his home, with food and accommodation all here. Besides, he didn't talk to anyone except the craftsmen except playing with the cold machinery.
Lin Yi, who was obsessed with getting into the magic factory, made Bing'er feel left out. She had to follow him closely every day because Tong Zhang left to find trouble with the Xinyinmen and the Jian Cult.
In addition to these soldiers, Bing'er was the last line of defense for security issues. Especially when Lin Yi was so absent-minded, Bing'er's pressure became even greater. Over the past few months, she had lost weight.
The results of Lin Yi's efforts are obvious. The magic factory is filled with lathes, planers and various precision processing instruments. Especially for the assembly line-like production of magic wands and land vehicles, Lin Yi has put in a lot of effort. And it's winter.
It was almost here. In order to let himself eat vegetables, he took the time to make a vacuum packaging machine. The whole machine was not big, just like an ordinary suitcase. He used processed tree fingers as raw materials, added them to the machine, and then
An open bag will appear, put the food in, and then put it into another entrance of the packaging machine. The air inside will be automatically extracted and compressed, so that the food can be stored for three months.
Of course, this had to be handed over to the public, so Lin Yi made a lot of it. This kind of machine was really popular with the soldiers, so that they would not have to just chew dry food that was as hard as a rock in future wars.
Li Shimin was very funny. When he selected the best civil servants at the end of the year, he also gave Lin Yi a best contribution award. As soon as this award was given, none of the ministers objected and they were absolutely convinced.
It's just that Lin Yi's face turned stinky when he got the medal. This thing can't be eaten, used, or sold for money. It's useless except for the limelight. It's really too much for his godfather to fool him with this!
Duan Zhixuan stayed in the factory these days, looking at the magic wands coming off the assembly line every day. He felt excited for a while. The scene the emperor described to them was about to come true, and he became a hero of the rise of the Tang Dynasty.
.The name will go down in history. What an honor, and all the descendants will be honored.
Lin Yi was even busier. The magic wands produced on the assembly line had to be enchanted before they could be used. These were less effective than those he made by hand. However, Lin Yi couldn't care about so much anymore. It would be tiring for him to do it one by one.
dead.
He was enchanting, and Duan Zhixuan was waiting next to him. Every time he made a batch, he would take away a batch. He would first arm the soldiers in his hands, and then transport carts of magic wands to Beijing. Although this was a bit like killing first and telling later.
He was suspected, but the emperor couldn't do anything about him. The magic wand recognized its owner and could only be used by that person.
Fortunately, Duan Zhixuan did not dare to go too far. He only armed two thousand people.
The cement road from Haizhou to Beijing has been repaired and will be completed in time for the end of the year.
Lin Yi was thinking about cotton while teaching the craftsmen how to assemble the land craft.
The seaside in winter is very cold and the wind is strong. And everyone basically wears jackets, even Bing'er is no exception, so Lin Yi thought of cotton. He found a piece of paper and drew the appearance of cotton on it, one by one.
I asked if anyone had seen it.
Only Duan Zhixuan pondered for a long time and said firmly: "I once saw this kind of plant in the emperor's back garden, but it seemed that it was not well maintained and died."
"Find the origin of this thing and plant it on a large scale next year. The soldiers will not be cold next winter." Lin Yi left after saying this. He knew that Duan Zhixuan would definitely take it to heart and would definitely get it done.
In front of the Tai Chi Hall in Chang'an City, two huge ice dragons are entrenched on both sides of the hall. The sculptures are lifelike and majestic, guarding the Tai Chi Hall.
Various ice sculptures stand in various palaces in the palace, even in the homes of ministers, or in various scenic spots in Chang'an City, forming a unique world of ice and snow. Even the common people feel that this year
The flavor of the new year is much stronger.
In addition to making snowmen and using snow poles, the children looked at people of all shapes and colors and used their carving knives to carve out various animals and characters. Among them, most of them were images of gods, pure and transparent.
Ice also adds a touch of fairy spirit to all the gods.
This new carving art began to spread. I don’t know where it started. There are images of Lin Yi as a fairy child everywhere in the pass, especially next to the water tower. Lin Yi can be seen in various poses, so cute.
After Li Shimin heard about it, he just laughed. He was very relieved about Lin Yi. I guess when that kid found out, his first reaction was depression!
The Lin family had a lively New Year's Eve, and Lin was not at home, but all the disciples he taught came to fulfill their filial piety for him, except Li Chengqian. There was a banquet in the palace, and as the prince, he really couldn't get out. But on New Year's Eve,
On the first day of the new year, he also started to stay at Lin's house and never left.
Lin Yi's place was also very lively. None of the soldiers or craftsmen went home. They all gathered together to celebrate the New Year, then rested for a day and started working again the next day.
It's hard work, but the salary Lin Yi pays is very good, and besides, you can make so many new things, it's worth it!
After handing over the magic factory to the craftsmen, Lin also began to discuss with the old masters at the shipyard how to improve the ships.\\..\\
By the time the final plan was finalized and the boat was built, it was already summer.
At this time, Queen Changsun's third son Li Zhi was already a hundred days old.
For a year, Lin Yi only maintained communication with the capital. Lin Dazhu once visited him, but seeing that his son was too busy to spend time with him, he went back.
Duan Zhixuan finally found the origin of cotton, but found that it was abroad. He then asked the emperor to buy the seeds at a high price, and now they are planting them in most areas of Lingnan Road. Li Shimin promised the people that when the cotton matures, the state will pay for it and purchase it.
The price offered is higher than that of grain, and tax is also exempted.
It was such a big sum of money, Li Shimin's heart was bleeding.
Lin Yi has indeed made him a lot of money in the past few years, but he has not left any money. He is a good money-maker and a good spender.
I hope this cotton is as useful as the other things Xiaoyi made! Li Shimin prayed in his heart for the first time.
The enchanting of land vehicles is a lot of trouble. Lin Yi can handle up to five of them in one day. The apprentice he brought can't help much yet. He just practices drawing magic circles on various objects, and then follows Lin Yi
Learn some basic knowledge. As for reading and other things, Lin Yi taught Li Chunfeng. This guy can't just live and eat for free, he has to make use of it.
Bing'er, Li Ran and Fang Yan followed Lin Yi spinning like a top. Lin Yi first taught a group of pilots. Then he asked them to teach them one by one, and then drove his enchanted land vehicle back to the capital, and then gave lessons to the children.
He hasn't chosen the ten assistants yet. He wants to see the characters and qualifications of these children before making a decision.
Li Ran and Fang Yan are only responsible for letting Lin Yi eat when he should eat and sleep when he should sleep. But don't get exhausted.
The capital city has changed a lot. Small buildings have been built one after another, followed by an increase in housing prices. Smart people have already begun to buy old houses from other people at low prices, and then wait for them to be demolished and replaced with new buildings, or resell them.
Sell or keep for own use.
Therefore, house prices are getting higher day by day, and demand is still in short supply. No one is a fool. Those who sold their houses first have already regretted it. So how can some smart people in the capital not learn their lesson?
But with Li Chengqian here, no one dares to buy or sell by force. Although Li Chengqian sometimes seems a little weak in front of Li Shimin or Lin Yi, externally, he is very assertive and handles things decisively. In fact, it is very simple.
, he just resolutely carried out Lin Yi's order!
But... he was still tempted. He came to inspect occasionally, but was stopped by a bold wealthy businessman. Of course, the wealthy businessman did not dare to stop him head-on. He just lay down on the roadside and kowtowed violently when Li Chengqian passed by.
This method really attracted Li Chengqian's attention.
After talking, the wealthy businessman was willing to pay a high price to ask Li Chengqian to allow him to change the design of the building. He was so excited about the money... Oh, no, it was the crazy poor Li Chengqian who decisively agreed. Because of Lin Yi's "waste", his small treasury has been
Li Shimin requisitioned it. Now he can't even get out a hundred taels of silver when he goes out. Someone gives him money and only makes this 'small' request. Of course he will agree.
Then...the first high-end hotel in Datang was born.
The power of examples is endless. Since then, more businessmen have come to the door, and even those families that participated in investment have begun to design their own buildings. As for what they are going to do, Li Chengqian doesn't want to worry about it.
He is only responsible for negotiating prices, counting money, and supervising the project.
The rapid increase in buildings in the capital meant that the number of water towers also increased. Under Changle's insistence, flowers began to bloom in Chang'an City. Flowers of different colors, red, blue, purple... all kinds of things, made Li Shimin
They couldn't even sigh.
Li Chengqian was in the best mood, but he only maintained it for three days. Three days later, his newly bulging wallet was targeted by Li Shimin again.
Because there was a locust plague in most areas of the Tang Dynasty, the locusts passed by and it was desolate. No one expected this situation. There were more water towers in the pass and the water was sufficient, so the locust plague was lighter, but the people also
They also thought of Lin Yi, and they began to worship the bronze statue of Lin Yi's fairy boy image. Almost every village has a temple where Lin Yi's fairy boy image is enshrined. If you have anything to do, come and pay homage and make a wish.
Not to mention this kind of suffering, they think worshiping Lin Yi is more useful than worshiping any other god.
Knowing this, Lin Yi also began to have troubles. At this time, when the harvest was about to be harvested, something like this happened. What should he do? It was too late to do anything.
But at this time, the huge state machine showed its power, and Li Shimin began to put grain in the charity warehouses he built in various places. Fortunately, when he built the charity warehouses last year, he was also inspecting officials from various places, so no one dared to do anything. After last year's autumn harvest,
, the charity warehouses were piled full, and with the food, people in various places did not feel panic, and there was basically no movement around.
Even though these days are harder than last year, it doesn't matter. No matter how hard the days are, they can get through it. As long as there are people who stutter and as long as their families are still there, there is still hope!
After this incident, Li Shimin issued a formal edict to Lin Yi for the first time, asking him to put the production of land vehicles first and develop various machinery that can increase food production.
When you see the imperial edict, execute it immediately without making any mistakes. If you don't do it well, don't come back to see me! This is the oral instruction brought by the little eunuch.
Lin Yi stuck out his tongue. This was the first time Li Shimin spoke to him so harshly. It seemed that the locust plague really scared Li Shimin.
Until he heard that his godfather had gone to offer sacrifices to heaven, made a petition to ask heaven to punish him, and gave birth to locusts that devoured the people's food...
Lin Yi fell silent, then secretly gritted his teeth and plunged into the design of the machine.
From then on, Lin Yi could be seen everywhere in the fields and fields. He humbly asked ordinary farmers for advice, learning about the characteristics of seeds and land, and more importantly, understanding the problems that the people urgently needed to solve.
I looked at various farm tools and even learned how to use them, gaining first-hand information. Two months later, the first farming tool was released.
He spent the first time in the field, recording any deficiencies and preparing for improvements.
The Ji'an Sect has been miserable in the past two years. The people of the Xinyin Sect have been chased everywhere, and they can't even care about Yang Kuan and the others. Moreover, now that the Guan Nei Road is run like an iron barrel by Li Shimin, they have basically given up hope.
, mainly because Li Shimin publicly issued an imperial edict, defining Jianjiao as a cult, and any members of the cult must be reported to the government, which made them restrained in doing things.
And now that the old madman has taken over the overall operational planning of the Jian Religion, except for the Charity Hall, which continues to be active, almost everyone else is selling salt.
Wan'er in the palace and other people from the Ji'an religion have been like motherless children these days, with no one to take care of them, no one to take care of them, and they are in a state of herding sheep. They are all a little uneasy and feel that they
The strong support suddenly collapsed.
Concubine Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Wan'er has never been here again after such a long time, and she heard from the emperor that the strength of Ji'an religion is not as good as before, so she can feel relieved. She hopes that Yang Kuan
She was killed while escaping so that no one would know what she had done.
The leader of the church, Yang Kuan, was very worried about this situation. He felt as if he had suddenly lost his rights, but he had no choice. With the government's investigation so tight, he had to admit that the old madman's approach was right.
The unscrupulous Li Shimin did not attack anyone except his charity hall, but if he caught any other member, he would be sent to the Taoist temple for re-education, and those who came out often became model citizens of the Tang Dynasty.
You actually stole his method and used it! It’s really unworthy, extremely unattractive!
This made Yang Kuan itch with hatred, but he was helpless!dd
