Chapter 482 Everything is ready for war

"I'm having fun with you, silly boy, hahaha. But Qingming is over now, a virtuous son-in-law? Tell me, what should I do?" Uncle Li's face suddenly turned from kindness to hide, and with the dim light, it was like a fierce spirit appearing in midnight.

"My father-in-law, this, please listen to your son-in-law to explain this to you first. Don't be excited." I carefully moved my butt back,

Try to keep a safe distance from Uncle Li, but the old guy's expression became more and more fierce: "Old man Cheng used this to show me all day long, do you make me not excited?!" When I saw Uncle Li's eyes lit up green light, I already knew what to do...

Rubbing his butt and escaping from the hall in a panic, I turned around in grief and gestured a middle finger towards Uncle Li's place. Fuck, old thing, old gangster Cheng showed nothing to me in front of you. Is it my turn to talk about this? It's clear that he is taking anger on me. Forget it. Based on the principle of respecting the elderly and loving the young, for the sake of your wife, let's spare you this time. This black foot will be bitten by a dog. Anyway, we have embezzled a lot of public property, and we just treat it as trauma and medical expenses plus compensation. After thinking about it this way, I feel much more balanced. There is no way to deal with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The cement road from Chang'an to the eastern capital Luoyang has been repaired and officially opened to traffic. The speed of travel from Chang'an to Luoyang is more than twice as fast as before, and the transportation volume has increased significantly. In addition, a new traffic standard has been established: whether it is pedestrians or vehicles, they are all driven on the right. In fact, this is not a new thing. The Qin Dynasty made regulations, and the "Ancient Literature" says:

The road is from the right, the woman is from the left, and the car is from the center. Ma Zhou, another prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, once implemented local regulations on pedestrians entering the city gate to the right, and people leaving the city gate to the left, making the movement of the population in the city gate easier. Therefore, this new road norm did not arouse much opposition. In addition, the cement road is mostly chariots and horses, and the speed is fast. Naturally, a certain local norm must be formed, otherwise, wouldn’t it be a mess?

Four-wheeled carriage, let alone four wheels, six wheels can be made for you. It is purely a joke to say that no four-wheeled carriage was built in ancient China. Well, a joke about the world. Six-wheeled carriages were unearthed from the ancient tomb of Jin State, but whether it is four-wheeled carriages or

The six-wheeled vehicles are all dedicated to the hearse of the king, and others don’t have the chance to ride on the ground. In fact, this has a considerable relationship with our Chinese terrain and the Ministry of Road Metallurgy. In fact, copper four-wheeled vehicles were dug out in the Qin cemetery in the early Spring and Autumn Period.

Why didn't it be passed down? "It's not impossible, it's not done." I think the following factors make four-wheeled carriages seem unpractical in China, including geographical and climatic factors. Europe is the flattest continent on the earth, with an average altitude of less than 300, and at least 60 are plains. Except for the Alps, there are low mountains and hills. It is very suitable for four-wheeled carriages. Boiling%Teng Literature 101du.net Collection Currently, the earliest four-wheeled carriage maps are known to appear in southern Northern Europe, and are also dominated by plains. On the other hand, China's terrain is extremely complex. Plains only account for a small part. They are surrounded and divided by mountains, plateaus, deserts, and lakes. China's precipitation is concentrated in summer, and ancient dirt roads are easily destroyed, and two-wheeled carriages are easier to pass than four-wheeled carriages.

However, the newly built cement avenue is very suitable for this type of vehicle. First, the load capacity is large. Second, the two horses drive, the movement is fast, and third, it can drive on this avenue for a long time.

Of course, Uncle Li did not object. He did not agree, but just allowed me to try it out temporarily. After all, ordinary people ride on a double horse cart is an illegal system, but Uncle Li also fully considered the transportation volume and land issue, such as transporting food. If a four-wheeled cart is used, it can greatly reduce transportation costs. In addition, more than 100,000 prisoners of war have begun to build it from

The cement road from the eastern capital Luoyang to the northern capital Jinyang. This road is for the purpose of making local transportation preparations from Chang'an to Goguryeo, Liaodong in the future.

At this time, the envoy of the land of Xueyantuo tribe had arrived in Chang'an. It was his uncle Shaboluo Nishuo Shijin as the main envoy, and his nephew Tuli was appointed as the deputy envoy, offering three thousand horses and three thousand sables to Tang to pay tribute. This was the last time

He repented of attacking the border of the Tang Dynasty, and asked Uncle Li to return the nearly 200,000 local servants and 100,000 Xueyantuo prisoners of war. He also promised Uncle Li that as long as these prisoners of war and population were returned, the Xueyantuo tribe was willing to defend the border for the Tang Dynasty forever. He would never rebel, and would offer five thousand good horses, ten thousand cattle, and ten thousand sheep to the Tang Dynasty every year.

Uncle Li and I were walking in the imperial garden, "Son-in-law, what do you think?" Uncle Li walked leisurely,

Shiba played the flowers and plants on the edge, "From the son-in-law, anyone can say this. No one can say it, whether it is done or not? I am afraid that only the Zhenzhu Khan knows it himself."

Uncle Li looked back at me and said, "You kid, you are always so cautious in your eyes." Uncle Li was embarrassed to say that I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. It was a bit tactful, but I still insisted on my point of view. "My father-in-law, even if the Xueyantuo Zhenzhu Khan really can keep his promises, but what after him? How can we guarantee that every Khan of their khan can keep it? Besides, if our Tang Dynasty failed to defeat Xueyantuo this time, I am afraid that the request of their envoys would not be like this."

"Yes, just like the good son-in-law, you said it well, there is no eternal peace between countries, and weak countries have no diplomacy...

If my Tang Dynasty is weak, let alone Xue Yantuo. I am afraid that even the surrounding vassal states will rush up to get a share. Humph, the real beads are good at fighting the land, but he didn't expect that I have a good man and a son-in-law, you are a good person, hahahaha..." Uncle Li was so lewd that we had to laugh with. Who is the one who doesn't do anything well, just laugh at me.

The Imperial Garden is really big. Uncle Li and I walked around for more than half of the time. At this time, yes, Uncle Li seemed to drink too much tea and was a little anxious. There was no thatched house nearby. Fortunately, the old guy reacted quickly and pointed to the flowers: "I go and take a look there, the son-in-law is here for a while."

Uncle Li quickly rushed in, and soon after, I heard that familiar sound. Damn, can’t I water the tree roots and reduce the noise? I don’t have any public morality and urinate and defecate anywhere, despise this old hooligan, and I’m bored!

Soon, Uncle Li returned home and walked over, pretending to be fine. It seemed that this old hooligan often did this.

"Well, what are you doing when the son-in-law is squatting? Let's continue the topic just now, as you said. Those populations, prisoners of war will not be released? Huh?

What is the son-in-law doing?" Uncle Li looked back at me and signaled to continue moving forward. But I found that I was squatting in place in a daze, staring at the flowers and plants beside me in a daze.

"Son-in-law. What's this?"

"Isn't this a cotton leaf?" I pointed to the green and then pulled out half of the branches and said. I recognized the cotton, but it was only April and the cotton boulders had not even been seen. If Uncle Li hadn't gone to urinate or defecate anywhere, I wouldn't have time to study what it was.

Uncle Li looked at me and smiled and said, "What's the matter? There is nothing in our imperial garden. This thing was tributed by Gaochang back then, also known as white stacked flowers. Flowers can be woven into cloth. Some people call it white stacked cloth, and some people call it cotton cloth. However, this thing is too expensive and I can't even buy one for a lifetime."

"I know this. Last time I was scrambling those hot air balloons, my son-in-law saw cotton cloth in the Dashi Merchant store, but my father-in-law, this thing is a good thing..." I didn't know how to explain to Uncle Li, and waved my hand for a long time before

I put it in a sentence: "Even if it cannot be made into cotton cloth, you can use it to fill the interlayer of clothes and it can also keep warm. It has greatly helped our soldiers in the Tang Dynasty in winter. Not only that, this thing likes drought, the Western Regions, the entire Longyou area, and the northern part of Guanzhong Road. These places that are not suitable for growing grains can grow. It is full of treasures. Its cotton seeds can squeeze oil. Although the oil is not edible, it can be used to make soap..."

I am very eager to understand. What is cotton? A world-famous economic crop is not just about keeping warm in the interlayer of clothes. Soap, which is the biological and chemical weapon I made in the early stages, has been learned from me. I consulted several experts who specialize in making pancreatic sap in the uterus and came to a conclusion that I made a huge mistake in the use of materials, but because of the difficulty of extracting animal fat, I no longer had the ambition to continue to develop it.

This is a fact. At present, everyone's living standards are not enough to reach every meal, so they use so much oil to produce them.

Soap, first, will reduce the living standards of the working people, this is called competing for fat with the people, and secondly, it will affect the price of fat on the market. It is not as good as later generations. Fatty is a high-end food for the people, so I can only regretfully give up the plan to establish a large soap workshop. However, after seeing cotton, my mind is determined to make a fortune and instantly becomes hot again.

First of all, cotton seeds are large in size, high in oil content, and high in oil yield, but they cannot eat oil. I remember that we called cottonseed oil infertility at that time, and forgot what the specific statement was. In short, eating this thing seems to deprive men of their reproductive rights. Since they cannot be eaten, the oil has another purpose. It is to use it as soap.

Uncle Li glared at me. He said for a long time: "What is soap?"

I quickly explained: "It's pancreas. Let's use it to wash clothes and wash your body."

Uncle Li suddenly pulled out: "Zhao Kun!"

"I'm here!" Zhao Kun suddenly appeared from some hole, scaring me. He didn't see anyone next to me just now? Does this guy know the Five Elements Escape Technique? I have to ask for advice another day.

Uncle Li pulled the wrench and pointed: "You should call the Minister of Works immediately. By the way, you can order someone to go to the shop in Dongshi immediately and buy me some white stacks of cloth."

After hearing Uncle Li say this, I quickly whispered in Uncle Li's ear. Uncle Li nodded and called out to leave Zhao Kun and said, "When buying white cloth, you can buy another three or five kilograms of white flower buns. Remember, it's just that kind of white and fuzzy thing, don't misjudgment."
