Chapter 138: Winter goes to spring and Turks start to fight
The stove was forged without spending much time. Li Fangchen hurriedly sent someone to Li Shimin and Kunning Palace, and at the same time instructed some usage and precautions.
Then there were rumbling everywhere in the palace, and a large hole was opened in the windows of the West Palace to release the black smoke produced by the stove due to burning charcoal.
Those who don’t know thought the palace was on fire.
Chang'an was noisy for a while, and it was not until Li Shimin passed the imperial edict that he realized that it was not the reason for the fire.
The memorials of the ministers of the court meeting in the next day all impeached the King of Qin and almost caused a big fire in the palace.
Although all officials are impeaching, they are not angry at all. They will make mistakes. If they do anything that shocks the world and makes ghosts, they will not be able to bear it.
Li Shimin's face was also full of smiles, and he severely scolded the King of Qin, and finally gave up.
As for the main host, he did not appear at the court meeting at all.
As soon as the court scattered, several ministers were kept by Li Shimin and went to the Hall of Yangxin to enjoy the warmth brought by the coal stove.
"Your Majesty, the old man's house is so cold. Look, I'd better let me take this stove away?" Cheng Zhijie, an old man, leaned against the side and didn't want to leave.
The other ministers were also very happy. If this thing could be spread, how many people would be frozen to death in winter!
Li Shimin, who deliberately showed off, was very generous and asked them to take a few home, and at the same time handed over the casting method.
The Changsun family, the Chai family, and the Qin family each account for 20%, and the rest are royal.
Changsun Wuji took a big advantage. As for the other companies that could not be divided into, they could only sigh. Those with discerning eyes didn't know that this was something made by the King of Qin.
Li Fangchen trained everyone in the West Palace early in the morning. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about other things now, so it would be more interesting to train more troops.
If you want to talk about the most comfortable thing in winter, it is running and fucking!
He circled the entire West Palace for fifty times, and the boys were sweating profusely, with constant slogans and roars.
The people in the palace also had an idea in their minds. The King of Qin was dissatisfied with the ministers and vented his anger on the people of the Western Palace.
Li Shimin also sent someone to ask, could he practice one hour later?
Li Fangchen did not express any opinions on this, and a full training plan continued to be carried out. Before, it was to exercise physical fitness and obey military discipline, but now it is to strengthen each of them in combat capabilities.
When Su Lie arrived, he was tortured by Li Fangchen.
"No matter what they do, you must follow it! To learn, you must learn the essence!"
As a result, after a day, Su Lie didn't remember what he had done today. He just wanted to end it quickly and take a break.
"Everyone, suck!"
"Crash!"
The movements were neat and uniform, and the training began to be carried out according to Li Fangchen's orders. If you didn't give the order, you had to persist.
Want to give up?
Don’t want to! Eat full and sleep warmly! Xigong can now be said to be the best place in Chang'an. Isn’t it just being trained? Persist on and then persist!
As the days passed, Li Fangchen also lost his mind to continue to commit suicide. He had many thoughts afterwards, but he could hold it in as much as possible at this moment. After he could leave the palace, his condition might be much better.
As for the problem of the low grain production in the Tang Dynasty, he had no choice but to go to South America or Australia now, so he could only let Yuan Tiangang integrate a small department, gather some alchemists, and constantly conduct experiments on the grain seeds of the Tang Dynasty.
The only thing that could help them may be what Li Fangchen called "grafting" and "pollination". I will tell you the way, but what kind of results can be achieved in the end depends on you.
Yuan Tiangang smiled bitterly and said, "If you could get sweet potatoes and corn, the people of the Tang Dynasty would not have any more days to starve."
Li Fangchen sighed, "You don't know when those two things were spread to the Central Plains. If you want to get them, we have to find them ourselves!"
"Your Highness, what if you ask the old master to form a fleet and try it on the sea. What if you can meet it and bring it back?"
Li Fangchen directly rejected the other party's proposal, "Do you think the sea is quiet? The current fleet of the Tang Dynasty is afraid that the entire army will be wiped out if it is less than half of its itinerary!"
"What should we do?"
"Emproved grains, even if the results are not as good as we expected, we must try it!"
"What do you mean?"
"Are you familiar with the word science?"
Yuan Tiangang nodded quickly, "Those Japanese often say, aren't they just tricks?"
"Don't underestimate this thing. Now let's form a small group first. You will be the head of this small group. The name is Datang Academy of Sciences!"
"Yes, I'll make arrangements now!"
"What we are stronger than the Tang Dynasty is our vision, but relying on vision alone is never enough. We have a strong country in military industry and a rich country in science..."
Yuan Tiangang ran out of the palace, summoned the remaining twelve earthly branches, and began to discuss the organizing of the Tang Academy of Sciences.
When Li Fangchen can leave the palace and open the palace, the Academy of Sciences will be directly incorporated into the Qin Palace.
Li Fangchen also felt that the burden on his body was much easier. With Yuan Tiangang here, he saved a lot of trouble.
Although the two have completely different visions and patterns, as people who are also cursed by the future, they know very well that there are some things they have to do.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai have also been idle these days. It is extremely difficult to build concrete roads in winter. The weather does not warm up and there is no way to start construction. Fortunately, the straight road from Chang'an to Luoyang has been completed by two-fifths.
My father said that at the beginning of next year, the cement workshop will be completely divided into the Ministry of Works, and will be ranked alongside the most important iron smelting workshop of the Ministry of Works, the most important iron smelting workshop of the Ministry of Works!
The Empress was born in Liulifang, and there was a female official in the palace to manage it, which could bring tens of thousands of chunks of income to the inner treasury every month.
I have been making five-color glass before, and most of them were sent to Goguryeo. Even so, the surplus is still tens of thousands of coins.
Now the war between Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje has been provoked, and there is no need for support from Liulifang. It is expected that starting next month, it will bring more than 100,000 guan to the inner treasury every month.
Everything has become orderly, and Li Fangchen's transformation of the Tang Dynasty has already shown some results...
"Not good, the Western Turkic Khan commander Ye Hu was dissatisfied with the sharp reduction of the caravan, and raised 50,000 troops to invade Liangzhou!"
In the autumn of the fourth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Li Fangchen had just celebrated his tenth birthday when the Turks rose up.
Li Shimin's face was not nervous, and nothing escaped from his expectations. The Grand Governor of Liangzhou, Li Ji, and Liu Hongji, led 50,000 Tang troops to fight against the soldiers invaded by the Western Turks for a month.
More than 100 low-level generals were killed and injured, 50,000 Tang troops lost 20,000, and Kui Duke Liu Hongji was seriously injured.
At such a tragic price, the Western Turkic Khan Commander Ye Hu returned with an army of only 10,000 people.
After retreating, Tongye Hu had just returned to the Western Turkic Court. A message made him worse again.
Mo Hedu, the uncle who ruled Ye Hu, rose up and caused chaos.
With regret and unwillingness, the head of Ye Hu was sent to the Tang Dynasty to apologize. At the same time, the newly promoted Western Turkic Khan Mo Hedu hoped that the Tang Dynasty could re-produce an order. The Western Turkic needed the Tang Dynasty caravan and the salt and iron of the Tang Dynasty!
Unfortunately, before he could wait for the reply from the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Nishuhe, who was from the Bibi tribe, once again caused the war in the name of governing Ye Hu's son and special service.
The incorrect origin and the easing of relations with the Tang Dynasty made many Western Turkic tribes feel dissatisfied, and then a complete rebellion broke out within the Western Turkic.
Mo Heduo was suffering from insufficient manpower and insufficient strength, so he gave in first, resulting in the entire Western Turks being divided into two.
Half under his rule, and the other half under the rule of Yehu, the son of Tongli, established by Asuna Nishuhe, supported by Ashina Nishuheshi, was ruled by the name of Li Special Service.
Later, the special service of the Yehu Khan was elected as the Siye Hu Khan, and all the Mohedu tribes were expelled from the Western Turks.
This big drama made the Tang Dynasty stunned and the Eastern Turks stunned.
