lazy tang

Chapter 861
It gets dark very late in the summer in Chang'an, and wormwood is smoked everywhere in the yard.This is one of the best ways to drive away mosquitoes. Of course, the Yun family also burns mosquito coils in their house.Little mosquitoes are the most annoying thing in summer, there is no such thing as one!
In a room of the Yun family, the chubby Yun Dabao wiped the sweat from his head.People who are fat just love to sweat, and this is something that can't be helped.Considering the benefits for fat people, this defect can be ignored.

One of the perks of being fat is that fat people tend to look stupid.It doesn't matter if you're stupid or not, people will think you're stupid.

This is very important!
The Yun family has already produced one of the smartest people in the Tang Dynasty, and there can be no more smart people.If people saw that the Yun family was full of spirits, then the Yun family would not be far from catastrophe.

Dad led an army of [-] troops to fight almost all the way to the horizon. There were many veterans who came back from the Western Regions a few days ago.When everyone passed by Yun's house, they would salute in front of the door.

I heard that in addition to the rewards from the court, each of these people made a fortune.There are not a few people who buy a house in Chang'an. As soon as the armor is taken off, they immediately become rich masters and servants!

Of course, there are not many people who have this kind of blessing.Because Li Er did not intend to disband this experienced team, he just cleared out some people who were not suitable for continuing to serve.After most of them were broken up, they were incorporated into the sixteen guards.

In the past two years, the sixteen guards have undergone a large-scale change of equipment, and firearms have become common equipment in the army.In the depths of Lishan Mountain and Qinling Mountains, there are several places with huge gunpowder factories.

According to Yunhao's instructions, all these places are deep in the mountains and old forests.The workers used are all death row prisoners.Instead of letting them get stabbed on Suzaku Street, it is better to throw them in the mountains to play their residual heat.You can continue to live and contribute to the country.This is a win-win deal!Of course, it was announced that these people had been executed.

The Nanshan Proving Ground is now rumbling all day long, because the sixteen guards have to take turns training in the use of firearms there.

The army has no battles to fight, so it can only use training to vent its remaining energy.Lao Cheng, Lao Niu, and Yu Chigong pouted every day when they went to court!The only generals in the army who are fighting now are the three of them!Although far away in the sky, he has combat experience after all.Any fool knows that the children of the three families will be reused after they come back.

Of course, the Yun family is also at war.But it seems that everyone has selectively forgotten about the Yun family, and now the Yun family seems to have disappeared in Datang's political life.No one in the Yun family was on duty in the court hall, not even a puppet to put on a show.

The heir of the Yun family stayed at home all day long, and the imperial court originally intended to deal with the forces of the Yun family.After seeing the eldest son of the Yun family, he seemed to be the same as his father, planning to stay at home.He resolutely burned the memorial to impeach the Yun family. It is unwise to impeach the Yun family at this time, because his family really doesn't have many braids to catch.

"It's done!" Seeing the lighted bulb, Yun Dabao waved his arms excitedly.

Wrapping copper coins in a circle can emit what my father said is called electricity.This thing can light up a light bulb, much brighter than a kerosene lamp.But the biggest problem is that it emits a lot of heat when it is lit.Many materials have been searched, but it is impossible to persist for a long time.Finally, Yun Dabao found something called tungsten to make the filament.

This is the same as the filament has been continuously lit for three days and three nights and has not been extinguished. This is continuous lighting.If it is lit intermittently, it will never take such a long time.

"It finally succeeded!" Yun Dabao was very excited.For this moment, he has experimented with no less than a thousand materials.He even pulled out Li Yanrong's hair.Just to see if the hair can be used as a filament.

There are so many girls with long hair in Chang'an City, there is no need to worry about lack of raw materials.

"Brother! Your thing is bright, but listen to the sound of the backup steam engine. This is no different from getting an airship at home. My aunt and my mother have moved to another courtyard to hide from your machine. You plan to install this kind of thing in Chang'an, it's impossible!" Sanbao pouted, because it involved the core secret of the Yun family.It can only be done by the sons of the Yun family, not even that girl Erbao.

That girl, Pianzi, is having a good time with a few old women in the other courtyard.Boys, life is hard!

"It's okay, Dad said that things are always improving a little bit. One day, things will meet your needs. You see, the research on the filament is now successful. The next step is to study how to reduce the noise of the generator. What do you think about digging a deeper cellar and putting the generator in there?"

Sanbao turned his head and left, the brother who looked as fat as a pig was really smart.Putting the generator in the underground cellar can indeed reduce the noise to a great extent.If a layer of rubber is pasted on the wall, the sound insulation measures should be better.

In front of his brother, Sanbao felt that he was that idiot.It doesn't taste good being an idiot, so Sambo decides to hang out with some idiots to prove how smart he is.Cheng Chubi was a good choice, the guys from the old Cheng family were all guys with muscles but no brains.A few days ago, when I went out with Yuchi Baoqi, I actually beat Li Hui, the son of Wei Wang Li Tai.

It's not a big deal for the children of Xungui's family to fight.But using the guards, the scene is spectacular.I heard that on Suzaku Street, two gangs hacked each other with knives, the scene was spectacular.Of course, the guards in King Wei's house were no match for the desperadoes who came down from the battlefield.Being blocked in the door and not daring to come out, Wei Wang's people were thrown to grandma's house.

After the emperor heard the news, he even turned the table.

When passing by the backyard, I saw a huge hole being dug in the ground.Sambo knows that this is where the eldest brother will install the generator set.The biggest advantage here is that it is relatively close to the lake in the inner courtyard, and if an accident occurs, the lake can be poured into it.Without causing further danger, it looks like the Yun family will be able to use electric lights soon.

"Go out to play and bring Xiong Daxiong Er with you, Chang'an is quite chaotic recently." Yun Dabao's voice came from a distance from the room.

He likes to see Sanbao going out to cause trouble, and other people's families are full of dudes.The Yun family should produce one, anyway, the Yun family is just the two brothers.It's not suitable for me as a big brother to be a dude, so I can only work hard brother.But the guards of the Yun family are more vigorous than the Cheng family and Yuchi's family!
Because of Master Xiong's two sons, the twins Xiong Da and Xiong Er are now the head guards of the Yun family.According to Yunhao, as long as the Xiong family wants to take this position, it can be hereditary to the Xiong family.

It was as if there were hundreds of stewards in the outer courtyard of the Yun family, but the stewards in the inner courtyard were all surnamed Liu.It's all a matter of old age. I heard from my grandma that as far back as the Jinyang era, people from the Liu family were in charge of the Yun family.

Clothes are not as good as newcomers, this is what grandma often said.But the members of the Liu family are indeed very clever and can handle the family affairs very well.Sanbao believes that it is no big deal for the Liu family to be hereditary in charge.

"The third child ran away again. This thing called electricity should be a new type of power. In addition to lighting up lights, can it also drive the propeller to rotate and blow out wind? There is a guy who can blow wind on a hot day, sure. It’s good. But how to blow the wind? How to make the propeller turn?” Yun Dabao muttered to himself, using all his imagination to think of a rotating propeller, how to blow the wind out.

Pop said electricity generation was going to be a huge business in the future.After seeing the power of electric energy with his own eyes, Yun Dabao thinks what his father said is right.As long as the Yun family firmly controls the power generation industry, the Yun family will become a wealthy family for generations.

Li Er is very calm now, and the two older sons seem to be in harmony on the surface.Secretly, he was fighting to the death, while the other son, who was qualified to inherit the throne, made military achievements thousands of miles away to see what a real battlefield was.As the candidate for the heir apparent of the new generation of Tang emperors, how could he succeed without going to the battlefield.

There were also two factions in the imperial court, because Li Tai's son had more supporters.Because he is the grandson of the former Sui emperor, Li Ke, who bears the blood of two generations of the royal family, also has many followers.

To Li Er's surprise, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong expressed their position in another way.That is to let the son beat Li Tai's son. Not only did they beat Li Tai's son Li Hui, he dared not go out.He even knocked out the front teeth of Li Ke's son Li Fan!
Although Li Er caught and slapped him with a board, it was obvious that several families didn't take this matter to heart.

This is a clear political statement. The Cheng family, the Yuchi family, the Niu family and other generals will not be attached to any one force.In their eyes, only the emperor is the only one who gives orders.

Li Er is very satisfied with this, and these generals have little influence on the government.But it has a huge influence on the army, and the old troops are all over the army.Even Li Er did not dare to underestimate this force.

If there is no military involved in the two sides fighting, there will be no problem.Anyway, calling back and forth will not mess up the country.With the army as the cornerstone, the country will not be in chaos even if it wants to.

The Tai Chi Hall was still as quiet as ever, and Li Er was concentrating on reviewing the memorial.He controls such a huge empire in his hands, running from the easternmost to the westernmost.It takes a year to ride the fastest horse.

Li Er sometimes feels powerless.This empire is too huge, and there are countless things that happen every day.Li Er found out sadly that he wanted to make laws.Some systems work in one place, but not in another.

The same rice can support all kinds of people, but the same system cannot control such a huge empire.Sometimes I really want to drag Yunhao back from the front line and listen to his opinions.This kid was surprisingly lazy, but it didn't prevent the Yun family from becoming a rich man in the Tang Dynasty.I also want to be lazy, but I can't!
After correcting a bunch of memorials every day, more memorials will always be presented.

Mountains of memorials were burning in the furnaces of the three provinces every day, and Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were the ones who could deliver them to him.The result of sifting and sifting, selecting and selecting.

This winter, Li Er really wants to go to Hainan for leisure.More and more places use coal, and the air in Chang'an is getting worse.The eldest grandson suffers from asthma, and every winter is a kind of torment.

Hainan is a good place, and the eldest grandson will feel much more comfortable breathing there.

But there is no way, I really can't go away.These two sons, which prison country was left behind pushed the uncertainty to the extreme.

There is still a war going on in the distance, and it is a war of vengeance.No matter what Zhang Liang said, he was also a warrior who followed him through life and death, and now his head was turned into a chamber pot, which was an intolerable insult.

So far, Yunhao is doing well there.Rumor has it that a 2000-year-old city is being attacked!

Li Er was very curious about what that place looked like.According to the teachings of the Jacko religion, it is a place where milk and honey flow.Li Er didn't know if there was milk and honey, but Li Er knew that there was inexhaustible fire oil there.

This is a good thing. Many steam engines in Datang now burn oil instead of coal.How many times, Li Er couldn't sleep because of the oil shortage.Well now, the huge ship can transport tens of thousands of tons of oil from the distant Middle East back to Datang at one time.

In the sky of Datang, there are more and more airships.The speed is getting faster and faster, but the size is getting smaller and smaller.This is entirely due to the adequate supply of fuel.

There are also more and more motor sailboats on the sea of ​​Datang.These sailboats no longer have to carry mountains of coal, but just store a few barrels of oil.Ocean-going freighters are also greatly increased in speed due to mechanical power.

Now starting from Quanzhou or Guangzhou port, it only takes three months to reach the distant Middle East.You know, it used to take a year to sail.Li Er was so happy that he almost jumped up when he saw Yunhao's memorial that Datang would not have to worry about oil supplies for 300 years.

Energy is so important to this rapidly developing country that God seems unfair.There are not many oil springs in Datang.But according to Yunhao, they are everywhere in the Middle East.

Well now, there is a good piece of land in the Middle East that also belongs to Datang.The newest name there is, Datang Persian Protectorate.Every day, huge oil tankers transport tens of thousands of catties of kerosene to Datang.

Zhao Jiang walked in and saluted Li Ershen.

"What happened?" Li Er asked lightly.When Zhao Jiang came at this time, something usually happened.

"Report to Your Majesty! The third son of Duke Chu's family had a quarrel with Prince Lang Ling in the brothel for some reason. The families of both parties will be in a mess, and the Jinwu Guards dare not take care of them. Now the generals of the Yunfu family have put Lang The King of Ling County is stuck in the Prince Wu's mansion and dare not come out."

"Oh! This is an interesting thing. After the three treasures of the Yun family beat Li Xin, I will report it to you!" The attitude of the Yun family is very important now, and Li Er really wants to see what position the Yun family stands on.
