"Me! Female Master?!" Peacock didn't react when he heard Li Tai's words, or Peacock never thought about such a thing.

It was like after being sold to Li Tai by Zheng Fengchi, she thought she could only be a cage bird in the Yue Palace, but she didn't expect that after Li Tai assessed her abilities, she asked her to take care of her dowry. Now she has gradually become a white glove for the Yue Palace, managing various businesses outside the Yue Palace.

Although Peacock does not deny that if there is no sign of the Yue Palace behind it, he will definitely not be able to do so smoothly.

But Peacock himself also knows that being sold by his relatives and coming to this unfamiliar environment, only the wealth he has mastered can make him feel a little warm, even if this warmth is a little bit self-deception.

But no matter what, the Peacock really came to the Yue Palace and felt a trance of becoming a new person.

Even so, Peacock never thought that she could become a female husband. She had never thought about such a thing.

"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded, "If you don't want to do it, then I'll recommend someone.

The main reason is that the textile ability is excellent enough to at least convince female students and be more fair in dealing with things."

"I obey the order!" Peacock felt relieved and answered Li Tai when he heard Li Tai's words.

"By the way, it's winter, how is the mine running? Can you supply boiling water?" Li Tai asked again.

Peacock quickly replied to Li Tai,

"Since the Wei River was dredged and the canal transportation was built, honeycomb charcoal could be circulated upstream and downstream of the Wei River through ships.

The Weihe Wharf area has built bathhouses for people to take a bath and boiled water shops for watering, and opened small shops nearby little by little.

However, it becomes very difficult to continue driving into the inland outside the Wei River!”

"It's okay, then open it along the Wei River!" Li Tai waved his hand, not taking this matter to heart.

Li Tai knew very well that after all, it was a matter of migrant population and costs.

Because the surrounding roads have not been repaired and the transportation cost of the river is the lowest, honeycomb coal can be made and transported very conveniently through the Wei River.

But if it is not a shop near the Weishui River, one is that the cost of honeycomb coal is too high, and the other is that there are too few consumer groups.

Strictly speaking, this kind of store is considered a service industry and it is very normal to go bankrupt.

"There's another thing!" Peacock thought,

"Because the days are getting colder day by day, local villagers near the coal mine often come to pick up mines near the coal mine.

Although they were expelled several times, there would always be someone who would steal the mine at night.

These things are rare in Chang'an, but the people in Qinzhou and Yuanzhou are relatively poor, so they are much more common.

So, I think you should inform the local government and let these people not steal again."

To be honest, if some big-name households have taken over mountains, rivers and rivers, they will basically notify the local government to declare sovereignty.

If a commoner moves every tree and grass here, even if he is beaten to death, the commoner will die in vain.

Of course, the upper class is generally not so serious, but in order to show their rights, people will take the chicken feathers as command arrows. Even if they really force people to death, they won’t feel that they are wrong.

"..." Li Tai couldn't help but sigh and said,

"I remember there is a honeycomb charcoal production factory near the mine? Don't target these people anymore, let them take it open.

As long as you send the coal mine to the honeycomb charcoal production factory, a basket of raw ore can be exchanged for one-third of the honeycomb charcoal, they will change it themselves!"

"It's not good, this is our coal mine!" Peacock was reluctant to let it go when he heard Li Tai's words.

"We are the Yue Palace, not the merchant family!" Li Tai stretched out his hand and pointed the peacock's nose, and said kindly,

"Peacock, you are serious and responsible in doing things and are better at managing things, but don't be limited by the business itself."

Peacock Hongxia crawled all over her cheeks, obviously feeling ashamed of her lack of structure, and said, "It's because my subordinates are less arrogant."

Li Tai looked at Peacock admitting his mistake and nodded, "It's okay, the guys from the alien race will die if they die.

But treating our own tribe and those workers who work in mines will help the development of the entire mining system!”

"I understand!" Peacock heard Li Tai's words and quickly nodded to Li Tai.

Li Tai continued: "By the way, you have taken over the affairs of coal and boiling water.

After boiling water over the years, are there any craftsmen who are quite talented in boiling water?"

When Peacock heard Li Tai's words, she was a little confused because she didn't understand what boiling water means to be more talented!

Li Tai looked at the peacock's confused expression and continued:

"After boiling water, there is no water vapor rising, and these hot water cannot be wasted!

Find some craftsmen to see if they can make a piston on it to press the steam, and then make some tools to change the steam power.

This will allow this thing to continuously exert force and change the direction of force. If it can be said that it can replace the water flow and become a new mill!"

Hearing this, although Peacock couldn't understand at all, he had no doubt about the possibility of this thing.

In Peacock's opinion, first, the direction Li Tai pointed out is definitely correct. Second, if it is not successful, please continue to refer to the first point.

"Master, I will organize people to try it!" Peacock immediately answered Li Tai.

Li Tai nodded and didn't say much, because in Li Tai's opinion, as long as the peacock follows this direction, he will definitely gain something.

To be honest, many people think of steam engines too high-end.

I thought that the development of steam engines needed to be the development of the industrial system, the advancement of metal materials, the separation condenser, the insulation layer was installed outside the cylinder, and the pistons were lubricated with oil, the parallel motion linkage mechanism, centrifugal speed regulator, throttle valve, pressure gauge and other configurations.

But in fact, this kind of thing is an industrial steam engine, and it is taken out for the first industrial revolution.

For Li Tai, he only needs the prototype of the steam engine "steam ball", and then on this basis, he finds ways to convert this kinetic energy into mechanical energy, so that the mechanical energy can perform simple movements such as the simplest rotation.

As for the function of this thing, as long as it reaches the level of a stone mill, it is enough to be able to grind wheat and millet.

Yes, Li Tai’s idea is so simple, it is this kind of machine that can play a role in agriculture!

Li Tai does not think that he can produce industrial-level steam engines in this era, because this thing involves the overall social productivity, but Li Tai believes that he has already laid out boiling water, and the entire Tang Dynasty's boiling water technology is the top.

To be honest, Du Ruhui was not demoted to work in the Wei River, but because of his sudden illness in those days, he had been recuperating for half a year, so it was not convenient to return to the court directly.

After all, Dai Zhou has been working for his position for a long time. Although he has not removed the word "Dai" and is almost becoming the Minister of Personnel.

It happened to be that Li Tai proposed the canal transportation plan, so Du Ruhui arranged this plan. Now as this plan slowly comes to an end, in Du Ruhui's view, he should have to go back to the center of the court to become his Minister of Personnel!

But the reality is that Li Shimin didn't seem to be asking him to return to the central government at all, which inevitably made Du Ruhui wonder?

In fact, as the project came to an end, Fang Xuanling also drafted a memorial to let Du Ruhui return to the central government.

But after Li Shimin saw it, he summoned Fang Xuanling over and said:

"The others follow what Xuanling said, but Keming has been a little too close to Qingque in recent days!"

"Sage, Keming is diligent in his work, serving the country and the people, and devotes himself to his work. Although the Wei River canal transportation is mostly based on the suggestion of the King of Yue, he is guaranteed that Keming is selfless and has a loyal heart to the Tang Dynasty!" Fang Xuanling said hurriedly.

"Don't I know Keming yet!" Li Shimin waved his hand, "But what I'm worried about is Qingque!"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling could only shut up. At this moment, facing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling clearly said everything was wrong!

"So, is there any way to not humiliate Keming, but also let Keming leave the center for a period of time.

It made Qingque understand that you should not make personal friends with important officials, nor do you have any false thoughts!" Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling.

"If the saint just let Keming leave the center temporarily, there is no way!"

Fang Xuanling silently said in his heart, "Old Du, you will definitely forgive me," and said with a righteous look on his face.

"The Weishui canal transportation system has come to an end, and the Weishui canal transportation system is an experiment of the Grand Canal system.

The sage could have Keming become the entourage of demotion and demotion, and specifically inspect the prefectures and counties that pass through from the canal from Youzhou to Qiantang.

First, investigate the water level of the canal and prepare for starting the canal transportation.

Second, we investigate the wise and unfilial officials of the chief, ask about the sufferings of the people, appoint people who have been stagnant for a long time, and dismiss the incompetent officials.

In addition, the inspection time can be longer, just treat it as letting Keming go out and relax."

"Well~" Li Shimin nodded when he heard Fang Xuanling's words, "When Keming handled the Wei River affairs and asked him to come to Kyoto, I will have a talk with him in person."

Li Shimin said this and looked at Fang Xuanling and added, "You should accompany me then, remember to say good things to me."

"Okay, okay!" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but smile bitterly, but at this time Fang Xuanling couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

The King of Yue has been inserted a lot by His Majesty.

Du Ruhui just walked a little closer and was actually sent away by His Majesty.

It seems that the story of Xuanwu Gate is not going to give King Yue a chance to repeat it!

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling felt much more relaxed.

For Fang Xuanling, fighting for the throne was really too dangerous. He only hoped that the Tang Dynasty would be passed on steadily.

Although Du Ruhui suffered for a while now, it shows that Li Shimin did not have the idea of ​​abolishing the elders and establishing the young people.

It also proved that Li Tai had people with Li Shimin around him, which made Fang Xuanling feel relieved.

At this moment, in the study of the King of Yue Mansion, Li Tai was concentrating on writing a diary.

I will write it when I go to Chang'an tomorrow, and I will ask someone to write it when I go to Taipu Temple. The purpose is also clearly written. I will write it carefully if I miss my mother Aye!

Spy? Dog licking? I am the number one spy in the Yue Palace, and Li Shimin is the number one spy in the first place!
Chapter completed!
