Chapter 426 Butterfly Wings
Ling Jing looked confused, caring about the benefits brought by his suggestion.Forget that everything in this country is controlled by the royal family.Once you have the power comparable to the royal family, it will only attract bloody butcher knives.The [-]-year-old Marquis understands the truth, he has lived a long life like a dog.

"Dong Weng...! This...! Ling Jing is reckless!"

"But it's not impossible, we definitely won't be able to eat this piece of meat. But it's no problem to find someone to eat with!" Now that Ling Jing had this idea, Yun Hao thought it should be tried.As for the partner, it can only be Li Yuan.But to actually control people, you have to think carefully.

"There is no need to rush this matter. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The king of Taiyuan County just passed away, and His Majesty is not in a good mood. If you talk about it at this time, you will definitely have a bad nose. When to say it and who will say it, you must be careful. Just think it over." Yun Hao comforted Ling Jing, daring to innovate is a good thing, and should be encouraged.

Picking up the official document that Ling Jing had reviewed, the handwriting was neat and clear.As expected of Dou Jiande's chief aide, this kind of writing skill is really well practiced.It seems that there is no need to make a fool of myself with these two words that are like dogs crawling.

One time Li Er saw the official document that Yun Hao had reviewed, and joked that Yun Hao's handwriting was Xue Mu Hong Claw.I have not spent as much time holding a brush in my two lives as before you were seven years old.If you have the ability, you can compare the keyboard with me.You can choose Wubi Sogou. If you lose, I will eat the keyboard.

Ling Jing can review ordinary official documents.But the official document with wax was not something that Ling Jing could touch when it was delivered from the palace.Ever since Yunhao told Li Yuan about the importance of keeping secrets, Li Yuan has been very strict about keeping secrets.There are already several nobles who have been demoted because of this kind of thing.

Picking up a bamboo tube sealed with sealant, he found a paper knife and picked it open.He took out the official document inside and looked at it. With a beautiful white hand, it was Li Yuan's own handwriting.

I have to admit that the ancient emperors were generous.Yunhao's two battles in Bingzhou Shuofang completely ignited Li Yuan's confidence in gunpowder and kerosene.In the past, with an observation attitude, Wen Daya was asked to organize the production.Now, Li Yuan is ready to shake off his arms and do it.

The purification of sulfur has always been the key to the production of gunpowder, and now this thing is not a problem.It's not that the purification is difficult, just build more reactors for purification.Huoyou was in some trouble, and I searched all over the land of Datang.That is to say, Li Daozong found something in Sichuan, which made Li Yuan very excited.Li Daozong has been secretly decreed to dig extensively.

I don't know which expert came up with the idea. The taxation of the high-rollers from the Western Regions has now been changed to oil.When entering the customs, if you don't hand over a few trucks of oil.Even if you were given a golden mountain to the Guan Zhang, he would not dare to let you in.

According to Li Yuan, within three years, the annual output of both gunpowder and kerosene will exceed [-] jin.For this reason, no matter how much manpower and material resources are spent.

Yun Hao really wanted to know which idiot gave Li Yuan this idea, fire oil is not a rare thing in the Western Regions.A bag of Tang Tongge can be exchanged for a car, and now it's good.The local tyrants of the Western Regions have a new source of income. It is conceivable that the city lords and kings of the Western Regions are now bleeding rivers of blood to fight for the oil spring.

I believe that a big gangster will be pinched out of a group of hooligans soon.The big hooligans will monopolize the oil springs in the entire Western Region, and monopoly will inevitably bring about price increases.The two barrels of oil in later generations have become a national blood pumping machine.I believe that those wealthy customers in the Western Regions will choose the same method.

Even more frightening is that the Western Regions may also be influenced by the Turks.Extracting gasoline from petroleum is not technically difficult.If the Turks figured out how to make kerosene, it would be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty.

This matter has to be discussed with Wen Daya. Li Er captured more than 2000 Turks in Hebei.These people are the best workers, Li Yuan put them all over Wen Daya.If one or two ran away, it would be a big trouble.

Anyway, I haven't been to the academy for a few days, so I happened to go to have a look today.

Riding a horse with Xiong Kuo Hai, the group headed to the academy.Since Yunhao was assassinated many times, Xiong Kuohai never let Yunhao go out alone.Wherever they go, they are surrounded by people.Quite a bit of a leadership style.

I haven't been to the academy for a few months, but there are still big changes in the academy.On the edge of Lishan Mountain, the academy erected a tower.Yunhao took a visual inspection and found that it was 40 meters high.The tower is in the shape of a pyramid, and there is a gable wall connecting the tower along Lishan Mountain.

There are not only sentries on the top of the tower, but also guys holding red flags, echoing the watchtower on Lishan Mountain.Make some signals from time to time, no wonder I am still two miles away from the academy.I saw Master Sheng Yan waiting for me by the side of the road immediately!
Master Sheng Yan made great contributions this time, and Li Yuan originally planned to promote Master Sheng Yan to be the deputy general of Zuo Wuwei.But Master Sheng Yan didn't do anything, and stayed in the academy no matter what.Yun Hao guessed that he might have been frightened by what happened last time.The officialdom is weird, and God knows when His Majesty the Emperor will throw a big black pot over him and have to carry it himself.I can't afford it. If someone else takes the blame, they will take it. Li Yuan's blame is a terrible thing.The last time he killed Li Mi, he was almost pushed out by Li Yuan to sacrifice the flag.

It is estimated that Li Yuan also felt embarrassed, so Master Sheng Yan returned to the academy.However, the title was given to General Polu, and the title became Chang'an County Earl.Now he is also a person with a title, and he is one level behind Yun Hao.

"What's that?" Yun Hao asked, pointing to something like a pyramid.

"Old Yu built it, saying it can be used for watering flowers. The subordinates don't understand, anyway, the mountain chief agreed and we don't need to pay for it."

Yun Hao glanced at Master Sheng Yan with satisfaction, this attitude is very good, and it has nothing to do with him, this is the long-term way of survival in the officialdom.

He patted Sheng Yanshi on the shoulder with satisfaction and asked, "Where is Yu Lao?"

"It's over there!" Master Sheng Yan pointed to the pyramid building in the distance.

Following Master Sheng Yan to the bottom of the pyramid, Yun Hao really understood how huge this thing is.No matter what Yun Hao thought, he couldn't connect this thing with watering the flowers.

Old Yu was looking at the blueprint, pointing and poking at it from time to time.The Mohist disciple next to him nodded his head frequently, showing an open-minded and studious look.

"When did you come back!" Seemingly telepathic, the old guy turned his head and said something to Yun Hao, which startled Yun Hao.But seeing the lookout post at the top of the pyramid, Yun Hao immediately understood.Such a tall building cannot escape the eyes of Mr. Yu even if it is more than ten miles around.

"It's been a few days since I've been back, and I've been busy with things outside the house. Now I have time to visit you!" Yun Hao was still very polite to a professional like Yu Lao.

"Look, how about the things that the old man has been tinkering with in the past few months?" Mr. Yu handed over the blueprints to Yun Hao to see.

Looking at it from top to bottom, Yun Hao's eyes almost fell to the ground.This pyramid is actually a huge water tower. With this thing, the dormitory and teaching buildings of the academy can use tap water.The gables leading down from Lishan Mountain are wrapped with ceramic pipes connected one by one.

This old fellow even considered that iron would rust.That is to say, there is no plastic in this year. If there is plastic, this old guy still doesn't make PVC pipes?
"There is a warm spring on the mountain, and the water can flow down the gable wall. With such a short distance, it will not freeze even in winter. In this way, there is water in the building even in winter. There is no need to go to the well below to dig How about water?" Old Yu looked at his original water tower, quite satisfied.

What else is there to say, everyone thinks of building pipelines inside the wall to keep them warm.Winter in Guanzhong is far warmer than winter in Northeast China.The old guy's design, nine times out of ten, will not be a problem.Thinking of running water in the Tang Dynasty, Yunhao longed for when he could use electricity.

"With cement, this thing can be built before autumn." Mr. Yu stroked his beard and was very satisfied seeing Yunhao's expression.

"Yunhou, the old man hasn't gone to congratulate him yet. He returned triumphantly and didn't even invite a drink. They say that the richer you are, the more careful you are. I think it's you that I'm talking about." Yun Hao hasn't recovered from the shock yet, Wen Daya's voice came from behind.

"Hahaha! It's hard to say what Wenhou wants to drink, so I'll invite you today. Everyone is going, let's be lively tonight." Yun Hao imitated the old man's heroic appearance, and laughed.Anyway, this time I can be regarded as a triumphant return.I wanted to invite some colleagues who are close to me, but I didn't want to be Liu Wenjing and Li Jiancheng's business one after another.Yun Hao didn't have the time to make trouble, now that he's fine and has nothing to do, he just took this opportunity to get things done.

"Oh, we may be able to eat the food and drink of Yun's family tonight. The old man misses the food of your Yun's family, not every day or two. You are not at home, and the family is full of women and children. It is not easy to come to ask for it. Now you come back Yes, the old man must eat enough." Wen Daya said with a smile.

"Exactly! Exactly! I don't know how to send good things to the old man, and I don't know how to honor the old man, so I should hit him!" Hearing that Yun Hao was going to treat him, Lao Yu also became interested.

Look around, there are no outsiders.Yun Hao hurriedly shared his worries with Wen Daya, but seeing Wen Daya and Mr. Yu looked at each other, he burst out laughing.

Looking at the two old guys who were smiling convulsively, Yun Hao was also at a loss.I don't know what I said, how could it be so funny.

"Hahaha!" Yu Lao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "When you came to remind me, the secret was already discovered by the Turkic people. It just so happens that you came today, and you are also a member of the academy. There are some things You should know."

In the past, it was said that ancient emperors had the ability to move mountains and fill seas, but Yunhao still didn't believe it.But now he believed it!
There is a huge construction site at the foot of Lishan Mountain, where thousands of Turkic captives are digging mountains and cutting rocks.I chose a mountain that was almost entirely of granite, and the steaming fire was roasting the hard rock.After the fire is extinguished, someone will pour a large basin of vinegar on it.

After a burst of steaming smoke, the Turks casually poked a steel drill, and a large rock fell down.Hard granite, more like tofu at this point.

"This is...!" Yun Hao said a little puzzled.

"We plan to hollow out this mountain and build a kerosene and gunpowder manufacturing base inside. In this way, we only need to control the exit. The people inside want to come out, unless they have the ability to change mice. Unfortunately, the production of gunpowder is really limited .Your Majesty is not allowed to use gunpowder casually. If gunpowder can be used, I think the project can be completed in one year." Wen Daya said confidently.

Yunhao agreed, such a granite landform.It is stronger than cement. If you really use this primitive method, you may not even think about hollowing out the mountain in three or two years.

"During your absence, your majesty came down twice. Both were very dissatisfied with the production of gunpowder. Datang now needs gunpowder, a lot of gunpowder. I heard that you fought well in Hebei, and the corpses of Turkic people piled up. It's like a hill." Wen Daya was very envious of Yun Hao's military achievements.

He is a civil servant, and he has no chance to go to the battlefield in his life.It is even more impossible to obtain martial arts.The Tang Dynasty built the country with military merits, and if they want to raise their titles to a higher level, they must have military merits anyway.Otherwise, every other generation, the title will decrease.In other words, when his title of Marquis of Wendaya was passed on to his son, he became an earl.The next generation will be the Viscount.If there are no outstanding figures in the family, only three generations will become ordinary people.The real wealth is only three generations!

"Hey...! When I was in Hebei, gunpowder was saved and saved. The production was still insufficient! If my army in the Tang Dynasty was equipped with gunpowder, it would be a joke not to mention the Turkic Kou Bian. A few Untrained soldiers can kill elite Turkic cavalry at will.

With 800 people, a county can be defended.Three to 5000 people can defend a big city like Mayi and Shuofang.The suffering of government soldiers guarding the border will be greatly relieved.The imperial court's finances will also save a large amount of money and food for domestic livelihood construction.Gunpowder is really a blessing for me in the Tang Dynasty. "

"You don't need to wait too long, gunpowder and kerosene can be mass-produced here in two or three years. Now, the imperial court is helping us to stockpile materials. Once the construction here is successful, the generals will no longer need to save money!"

"Your Majesty's frequent visits to the academy have already attracted the attention of nobles. Many nobles now want to put their own children in the academy. But it seems that most of them are tempting. The ones who come are either the bastards or the second sons of the family. There are very few who really let their son-in-law come, but we still charge a lot of tuition fees.

They are all well-known high-ranking families in Chang'an City, and no one would be ashamed to enter this door without dragging a cart of copper coins. "Speaking of the scenery these days, Wen Daya admired his own wisdom back then. The head of the academy is no less prestigious than the prime minister.

Looking at the ants-like crowd, Yun Hao imagined the magnificence of the base after it was completed.It is said that a butterfly in the Amazon jungle flaps its wings, and it will set off a wave of chaos in the Atlantic Ocean.Perhaps, I am the butterfly waving its wings!
