Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: 58 Great Country Craftsmen

Li Hong followed Yan Liben to the main hall of the Daming Palace, a huge wooden pillar even exceeded his imagination. I saw a huge column that was fifteen feet long and could barely be hugged by three or four people lying horizontally under the steps.

"Master Yan, don't tell me this is this huge pillar!" Li Hong asked.

Yan Liben heard the shock in Li Hong's mouth. The old man was a little embarrassed, coughing and saying, "Prince wise, this is the root in front of you."

I'm a wise shit, if I'm wise, I shouldn't have come with you. This **** thing is based on the conditions of the current era, even if you operate it yourself, I am afraid it will take some time.

"Master Yan, you are really joking, I haven't offended the Ministry of Engineering recently, right? Why are you trying to pull me, pull me, you think my father won't be angry anymore?" Li Hong touched and arrived soon The huge pillar on his shoulders thought for a long time, but did not come up with a solution that could solve this problem within a period of time.

"Where is the boulder that you are talking about? Don't tell me that this is the one I stepped on. This is the whole floor, not a boulder." Li Hong asked, looking at the huge boulder that is ten feet in size. , The feeling of being pitted spontaneously.

"The prince is wise, that's right, it's this huge rock." Yan Liben said with an embarrassed old face.

"No, this...how did you bring it here? Why don't you cut such a big boulder before you ship it?" Li Hong asked.

"Back to the prince, if this boulder is cut open, it will destroy the integrity and beauty. In order to build my great cause of the Tang Dynasty, we naturally need to keep improving."

"Then how did you come here?" Li Hong asked repeatedly.

"Does the prince know that there was a counselor under Cao Mengde, whose name was Lou Gui?" Yan Liben asked with a smile on his face, pretending to be mysterious.

Li Hong nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Lou Zibo offered to pour water and freeze, and build the city wall overnight, and you used the splashing water and ice to transport the boulders. Is that true?"

"The prince is wise, that's the case, and the person who applied this method is a descendant of Lou Gui, Lou Yu." Yan Liben beckoned to a craftsman not far away, and saw a man about fifty or so coming over. .

"Lou Yu met His Royal Highness and Lord Yan."

"Students transported the soil and splashed water. Before dawn, the Tucheng is already there. Ma Chao led the soldiers to watch it, shocked and exclaimed with divine help. Is that true?" Li Hong said.

"Thanks for the prince's praise." Lou Yu bowed and saluted.

"Okay, then I will try it. Mangzhong, let Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren go to Daming Palace immediately." Li Hong said to Mangzhong with his back.

Looking at the departure of the mang species, Yan Liben asked in confusion: "Are these two students from Chongwenguan?"

"Yes, it is the students of Chongwenguan, see if they have a more feasible way." Li Hong knew in his heart that his ideas would be more or less extreme, and would even destroy the established pattern.

Furthermore, Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren know the methods that he knows, but he does not have the talent or foundation in this area, so when encountering this kind of difficulty, perhaps only like Yu Wenrong and A person like Liang Xiaoren who has the foundation and advanced technological concepts can think of the best of both worlds.

And these are exactly what Li Hong has always taught to Chongwen Museum, including those craftsmen in the Taiyi City Forbidden Area. They use all the knowledge they have known in their previous life to inspire their inspiration for all disciplines. Then let them use their existing academics as the basis to slowly open a path to the knowledge avenues they gave them.

In this way, no matter which way it is, there will be no technological faults, and the complete technology can be reserved, so as to make a real technical reserve for the next step of pioneering and innovation.

Take glass as an example. Back then, I only taught how to make with hard work and what to make, but the next match is basically the two people who work hard to find out, and it has the size of a French window today. The glass appeared.

Although this process is relatively slow, at least it can make it possible to work hard to figure out the properties of all materials, to solidly make all the basic knowledge of glass, at least not to break the glass technology, so that they have a complete system.

In this way, I deliberately gave them a ten-year development period. During this period, no matter the countries in the Western Regions, Korea or Japan, they will not have access to this technology.

But on the other hand, even if they keep secrets themselves, it will accelerate their curiosity about glass and intensify their own minds about making glass. This will give them the opportunity to reserve glass technology, allowing them to do all the technical reserves step by step.

So after working hard to develop glass craft for more than ten years, I sell glass to them. One is that I can make a lot of money in the past few years, and the other is that I can effectively restrain them from developing their own technology.

Even if one day, they can produce the same glass craftsmanship as Datang now, but it will be even more difficult for them to develop further, because their technological reserves are insufficient, and if the technology emerges Faults, when the time comes, I still need to do it all over again. At the very least, I have to work hard, and I have struggled for several years of development.

The Taiyi City Medicinal Restaurant, which he valued most now, Li Hong adopted the same method, but the level of confidentiality has reached the highest level, and outsiders will never be allowed to know it.

That is to give them the most basic production of gunpowder, and then let them continue to develop and develop on this basis, and finally achieve a solid development from the most basic gunpowder technology in accordance with the historical development track.

The one provided by me is nothing but a prototype of gunpowder more than two hundred years ago. According to this law, I am only in this life, putting the foundation of future generations in front of us a hundred years in advance, leading this era as a whole, so that there will be no faults and stagnation of development, and the benefits to Datang can be compared to directly using yourself. What can be the best is much stronger.

What I want to build is a truly powerful craftsman who can support Datang's industry, economy, military, etc.! It can make Datang far ahead of pure elite craftsmen in other countries in all industries!

Li Hong believes that Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren can solve this problem completely independently, but obviously, Yan Liben doesn't think so.

Yan Liben stroked his gray beard for a while and said: "His Royal Highness, I am afraid that this method will be difficult to achieve. Before the minister invites you to come, Hongwenguan, Guozijian, and even the Japanese are stranded in Datang The ministers who sent Tang students in the last period have been called to see it. There is no one of them who can come up with an effective method. Could it be that your Chongwen Museum..."

"Try it and you will know, yes, Master Yan, or else, if my students put it up, I know that Master Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng lost the "Goose Posting" to you back then. Why don't you just use "Change Goose Sticker" to bet with me once?"

Yan Liben was horrified, his beard trembled and stepped back several steps in shock, and he shuddered and said: "Too... how did the prince know that the "Huang Ting Jing" is in the hands of the minister?"

It’s always been a secret. Back then, I bet Wei Zheng. After Wei Zheng lost, he listened to his brother Yan Lide and asked for this book of Wang Xizhi’s "Huang Ting Jing", which has never been mentioned to anyone. Now, when asked by the prince, he was naturally shocked.

"The historian said it." Li Hong said relaxedly: "Others don’t know, but it doesn’t mean I don’t know. Grandpa Huang's historian back then has some people, so I’ll be fine to talk to them, so You know, it's very simple."

Yan Liben looked at Li Hong’s harmless eyes, always feeling uneasy, but then he looked at the project that was about to be postponed, he sighed in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, the minister will bet with the prince. But if the prince you lose?"

"Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface", do you know who holds it?" Li Hong threw a big bait.

Yan Liben did not believe: "Impossible, it is something that the first emperor cherished. I am afraid that your majesty has not been able to see the real thing. How can you have it?"

"Grandpa Emperor is gone, who do you want to leave this thing for? Isn't it given to my father? Do you remember my father betting with me at Linhu Hall?" Li Hong blinked brightly Asked the eyes.

"Of course, the minister remembers that your majesty did lose that time. You also made this better glass for Datang, and now you use it in the Daming Palace. Could it be that your bet with your majesty was..." Yan Liben's eyes began to become hot, shining, and he was no longer old.

Yan Li is good at craftsmanship, calligraphy and painting, and knows architecture. What is well-known is the "Footprint Picture", which is now in the Tai Chi Palace, painted in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan. Taizong met with the Tubo envoy Ludong who married Princess Wencheng The scene of praise.

The bait thrown by Li Hong is enough to treat people like Yan Liben who regard painting and calligraphy as their life. It has a huge magic power. If nothing is said at the moment~IndoMTL.com~ With Li Hong, whoever loses will take out the collection.

The two of them are smiling, as if they have seen each other's treasures, which have been in their own pockets.

Liang Xiaoren and Yu Wenrong rushed over, with a trace of tension and excitement in their expressions. After giving a gift to Li Hong, Li Hong pointed to the giant wood and said, "I can't put it on the beam. , And stand outside Jiafumen with the sign for seven days."

"Huh?" Both of them were shocked when they heard Li Hong's punishment. They stood there for seven days? Is there any face to see people after that?

"And the little stone under your feet, sent it up the steps. Since you know the serious consequences that can’t be done, then I’ll give you three days. If you do it, it’s easy to say, if you can’t do it, seven days will only be a punishment At the beginning." Li Honghao warned in a leisurely and relaxed manner.

Yan Liben looked at the frightened expressions of the two of them, thinking that they had nothing to do with the difficulties in front of them, and joked: "His Royal Highness has made a bet with the old man. If you can't make it, your Highness is I will lose to the old man a very important baby, so ah, you had better do your best."

After Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren finished talking with Li Hong, they began to stare at the huge wooden pillar in front of them. For Yan Liben's words, I heard a little bit. I only knew that the prince had a bet with others. They didn't care about the bet. What they care about is how to punish them if the prince loses!

"Okay, Your Highness, within two days, as long as you give the students two days, the students promise to do it!" Yu Wenrong obviously has an idea in his heart.

"Ah...? Can you do it with such a big giant tree intact?" Hearing the words of the two students, Yan Liben almost fainted.

How could this be possible? The problems that plague the Imperial College, Hongwenguan, etc., such as scholars and capable people, two young people who are less than fifteen or sixty, dare to make such a promise!
