Fu Tang

Li Congjia couldn't laugh or cry when he looked at those memorials. He never thought about seeking Taoist priests to make alchemy, nor did he think about immortality, okay?What are you all so excited about?

In fact, it’s no wonder everyone reacted fiercely. Too many emperors fell on it. No matter how wise and powerful the emperor is, once he encounters something related to lifespan, it’s like flooding his head. He believes that there is an elixir of immortality. As a result, he ate himself to death.

These veterans basically watched Li Congjia grow up little by little. To put it more offensively, it felt like watching his own children and grandchildren. They couldn't let him indulge in this thing.

Of course, if someone tells them that there is an elixir of life, maybe these people will try it. The same thing is always more sober from the perspective of a bystander.

Li Congjia had no choice but to come out and said: "I just ordered to recruit talents. I didn't expect to recruit even Taoist priests. I won't let them come to make alchemy. What skills do they have? If I really have an idea, I will go to the national teacher, the national teacher Much stronger than them."

National Division?

Shi Xueting?

There is one more hidden here!

Sensing everyone's unkind eyes, Shi Xueting had already started to think in his heart how to deal with Li Congjia when he went back.

Of course, he had to stand up and explain: "I'm not a Taoist priest, and I don't know how to make alchemy."

I'm sorry, I'm not that professional, and I'm not in charge of this matter, but there is a way to make the emperor live longer-do more exercise.

Li Congjia said with a chuckle: "Okay, let's turn this matter over. I don't need to live forever. Qin Huang wanted to live forever because he had great ambitions and wanted to see his country in his own hands. Let’s get stronger a little bit, let’s deal with this problem...I’m not that persistent, I’ve done everything I can, and there’s still Dalang left? So, the focus now is how to train Dalang.”

Li Zhongyu:? ? ? ? ?

This topic fell to Li Zhongyu in such a way, and Li Congjia managed to get away. After returning, he delineated the scope of recruiting talents, and directly set the scope of Gewu and Shuqu. If you study mathematics, physics and chemistry, you will not be afraid to travel all over the world. However, the subject of chemistry is not absent until now, but it has not been divided in detail, and many of them are classified in Gewu.

After Li Congjia defined the scope, the number of people in Chang'an City... still did not decrease. Many people felt that even if what they were good at did not meet the court's regulations, what if they were lucky enough to be appreciated?Even if you are not appreciated by the emperor, it is not bad to meet a high-ranking official.

Li Congjia was happy to see Chang'an City so prosperous. As the capital of a country, to be honest, the previous Chang'an was so shabby that it made him sad. There were few people and not many buildings. The whole city didn't have the atmosphere of a country at all.

Seeing that Li Congjia had been selecting the documents submitted by those people for the past two days, Shi Xueting asked, "When are you going to see so many people by yourself?"

Li Congjia twisted his neck and said, "Be content, Zhou Ye and the others have seen more, and here I am after their screening."

Shi Xueting was a little strange: "You just want to improve farm tools, why do you recruit so many talents? These people don't seem to be good at it."

Li Congjia said with a smile: "You don't understand that. Many things are common, and you should be prepared. Besides farm tools, I also want to get some other things."

Shi Xueting was not used to Li Congjia's sudden transformation into a research madman for a while. Li Congjia also valued these aspects before, but he is not as crazy as he is now. What happened?

Regarding this, Li Congjia explained very calmly: "I didn't have this condition before. After all, when I was still fighting around, how could I have so much financial resources to do this? No matter what you want to study, you need a little bit of experimentation, and doing experiments... ...it's for money."

Shi Xueting smiled helplessly: "The little money I earned for you is not enough for you to toss about."

Shi Xueting squeezed his apprentices to make money for Li Congjia. His original intention was to make Li Congjia live a more comfortable life. Although the whole world belongs to the emperor, if the emperor wants some extravagant things, the ministers will persuade him, especially using the money from the treasury. When doing something for the emperor, the first thing the ministers did was to persuade the emperor to be frugal.

Why, can't we still enjoy the hard-earned mountains and rivers?Li Congjia must not be so aggrieved, but what he didn't expect was that Li Congjia was simply careless except for being picky about the taste of his meals!

Li Congjia smiled and didn't say anything, just said: "Do you know why the emperors from the Tang Dynasty and the later emperors almost stopped staying in Chang'an?"

Shi Xueting was stunned for a moment before he said, "Didn't it mean that food transportation is inconvenient?"

Li Congjia nodded: "It's just one of the problems. The other problem is that the water quality here has changed."

Shi Xueting repeated: "Water quality change?"

Li Congjia replied: "That's right, the water has become salty, which makes many people unbearable, so everyone who can be moved has been moved."

Shi Xueting asked: "The water becomes salty, do you know why?"

Li Congjia glanced at him maliciously and said, "I'm afraid that if I say it, you won't be able to eat later."

Shi Xueting said very simply: "Say."

Li Congjia said directly: "Because the water is polluted by various pollutants, the most common of which is probably excrement."

Shi Xueting: "...so?"

Li Congjia said cheerfully: "So I want to build a biogas digester. Let me tell you, this biogas digester has many benefits."

Li Congjia directly listed the benefits of biogas digesters. First of all, it can improve the environment, and second, it can save a lot of energy. Biogas is a good thing, but it needs to be designed in different types according to different situations. Compared with septic The pool should be difficult.

After Shi Xueting heard what Li Congjia had said, he felt a little bad all over.

"No, can we study some normal things?" Shi Xueting was a little devastated. Whose emperor studies how to use excrement all day long? Is this what an emperor should do?

Li Congjia knew why Shi Xueting couldn't stand it, so he coughed lightly and said, "I just have such an idea, but I definitely don't have time to study it. Isn't it useful to recruit people?"

Shi Xueting... Shi Xueting just wanted to recite a volume of Qingxin Pushan Mantra to calm himself down, and see whether it was his problem or something wrong with the world.

Li Congjia felt that talking about these things with Shi Xueting seemed a bit of a shame, although this guy is not as unreal as before, but...he is not so grounded.

So he directly changed the subject and asked: "Speaking of which, what is Pang Qian doing these days?"

Shi Xueting froze for a moment: "I don't know."

Li Congjia: "You...you didn't bother with him? Are you so relieved?"

Shi Xueting glanced at him weakly: "It's not because you recruited so many Taoist priests all at once. The first assistant and the others are afraid that you will follow in the footsteps of the first emperor, so let me persuade you."

Li Congjia was silent, these people are really good at making up their minds, ten of them together can't compare with the first emperor, right?So he didn't have the confidence to learn from the first emperor.

"Go back and see Pang Qian, this person hates Li Congshan so much, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

After all, he and Li Congshan are brothers, and Li Hongji and Li Congshan are also brothers. What if Pang Qian transfers his hatred?This is a ticking time bomb.

Seeing Li Congjia, Shi Xueting seemed a little worried. After thinking about it, he really should go and see Pang Qian, at least to know what this person's future plans are.

As a result, after Shi Xueting passed by, he saw Pang Qian roasting chicken in the yard, drinking, drinking and eating.

At that moment, Shi Xueting felt that Li Congjia's worries were unnecessary, and that he came even more, because he obviously had a good life!

After seeing Shi Xueting, Pang Qian slapped his thigh and said, "I just said that I saw magpies calling when I looked up this morning. When a distinguished guest arrives, as expected, come and taste my craft."

Invite a monk...for roast chicken?Changing to another monk might blow your head off.

Pang Qian also seemed to realize that something was out of place, so he quickly said, "I'll make you some vegetarian dishes."

But before he got up, Shi Xueting calmly sat across from him and tore a chicken leg, took a bite and said, "Well, it tastes good."

Pang Qian: ...

For a moment, Pang Qian began to wonder whether the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was deceived by this monk?Judging by the proficiency of this movement, it doesn't seem like he has been a long-term vegetarian.

Shi Xueting asked, "Are the police happy?"

Pang Qian came back to his senses, thought for a while and said, "It's okay."

Shi Xueting asked again: "What will happen in the future?"

Pang Qian said very freely: "In the future? Let's talk about the future in the future. Why worry about it now, not to mention that for a person like me, it is already a curtain from heaven to have a good death. If I can see Li Congshan executed, I will give up my obsession. "

Shi Xueting asked with a smile: "You seem to have disregarded the world of mortals, is it possible that you still want to become a monk?"

Pang Qian quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, it's fine to become a monk, go and study something you like. Oh, speaking of it, I said... Your Chang'an city is not bad, but the drainage facilities are not very good. .”

Shi Xueting looked blank: "Huh?"

Pang Qian said: "I looked at it before, and I feel that the design is not reasonable, just wait for me."

After speaking, Pang Qian stood up and ran back to the house. When he came out, he handed Shi Xueting a stack of papers and said, "I designed this according to the layout of Chang'an City. You can take it back and show it to Emperor Tang." If he can't read it, let someone who understands read it."

Holding the blueprint, Shi Xueting lowered his head and pondered: Now the emperor...does he take such an unusual path?

Li Congjia likes improving farm tools and improving the living environment in the countryside, and Pang Qian likes...designing sewers?

Does this mean that you can't be an emperor without some other skills?

Shi Xueting went back full of incredible ideas, and Li Congjia was also very surprised when he heard about it: "Pang Qian knows this thing?"

Shi Xueting handed him the blueprint and said, "Look for yourself."

After Li Congjia took over the drawings, he put them down for a while and said, "Let the people from the Ministry of Industry take a look."

Shi Xueting was very surprised: "You don't understand? Really don't understand?"

Li Congjia rolled his eyes: "I didn't learn this, why can I understand?"

Of course, the main reason is that the way of drawing in this era is different from that of later generations, at least the scale is different. Li Congjia is of course a layman.

After hearing this, Shi Xueting asked again: "How about the simplified characters?"

Li Congjia was very worried: "This matter is a bit difficult. Mr. Fan and a group of gentlemen have been studying for many days, and they are stuck on how to simplify this word so that everyone can associate it with its pronunciation and I mean, it's too difficult."

At this time, the benefits of Hanyu Pinyin are really reflected, but Li Congjia...how can he make Hanyu Pinyin so that it is reasonable and not suspected?

If it doesn't work, does he have to pretend to be a ghost?

Li Congjia thought about it and decided that if the progress was so slow, then he would really have to use the Meng Dafa. Anyway... there is only one way to use it.

Shi Xueting comforted him and said: "Don't be too anxious about this matter. Mr. Fan and the others are probably too cautious, so the progress is slow, but as long as you find the right way of thinking, maybe it's not that difficult."

Li Congjia sighed in his heart. He has a lot of simplified characters in his hand. Just throwing them out can be a good example, and change the characters that they think cannot be deleted in this direction, but those people think that the simplified characters he made... ...simplified to the point where you don't even know it!

Li Congjia was very depressed, but he couldn't give a strong order because it turned out that it was no good to fight against cultural people. Li Congjia could only let them tinker first. The word has not made any progress.

But what surprised him was that Pang Qian's series of designs for the official road to the water were really approved by the people of the Ministry of Industry. They were still asking Li Congjia who drew the drawings, and they wanted to communicate with this person!

Li Congjia was very surprised. Could it be that Pang Qian is still a skilled worker with hidden attributes?

Although Shi Xueting felt that he and Pang Qian were both types with a lot of skill development, but Li Congjia knew that his own skills didn't have much, but he knew a lot, and then he could provide a general direction. The real technical research was not done by him. Yes, but those people below did it.

Because of this incident, Li Congjia met Pang Qian for the first time.

Of course, this was also the first time Pang Qian met Li Congjia. He had known Li Congjia for a long time, and even before he became an enemy, he still admired Li Congjia.

When they actually met, Pang Qian felt a little unbelievable, after all, Li Congjia looked too young.

At this time, Pang Qian realized that Li Congjia had just arrived in his thirties, which was very good news for Datang.

At least to avoid the collapse of the Tang Dynasty in the middle of the business like Zhou Guo. As long as there is no accident, Li Congjia can at least escort the Tang Dynasty for decades, and is fully capable of transitioning smoothly to the next monarch. At that time, the next monarch should also be mature.

Pang Qian was very calm when facing Li Congjia. He had no personal grievances with Li Congjia. He had a different stand before. Now he is just an ordinary person, what more can he ask for?

After Li Congjia asked Pang Qian to sit down, "What are your plans for the future?"

Pang Qian was stunned for a moment, very unaccustomed to Li Congjia's straightforward way, paused before saying, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Li Congjia said: "The Tang Dynasty is currently short of talents. The National Teacher said that you are very interested in various city design projects. Would you like to go to the Ministry of Industry to have a try?"

Pang Qian stared at Li Congjia dumbfounded and asked, "The Ministry of Industry is considered an important department. Your Majesty is not afraid of me spreading it?"

Li Congjia asked: "Where can you spread it to? Xiuguo? It doesn't matter. Before long, Xiuguo will also be a part of Datang."

Pang Qian: You really have confidence.

However, he couldn't refute Li Congjia, he even handed over Xiuguo's defense map to Li Congjia.

Thinking of this, Pang Qian couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty never doubted me? What if I was sent by Xiuguo to set a trap?"

Li Congjia laughed and said, "You mean the deployment map? To be honest, we didn't pay attention to that deployment map, and we didn't change our style of play because of this deployment map. That is to say, what we planned to fight before is what we plan to do now." beat."

Pang Qian: ...

In the face of such absolute strength, any conspiracy may be useless.

For a moment, Pang Qian envied Li Congjia. If he had such a powerful country, however, he thought about Li Congjia's experience, and felt that if it was him, he might follow in Li Congshan's footsteps. After all, not everyone can give up a good life Going away with the identity of the prince, going to a place with nothing to be a horse thief.

Pang Qian always felt that Li Congjia's choice at that time was simply unimaginable.

Pang Qian didn't bother with the issue of trust or distrust anymore, but simply said: "Okay."

So Li Congjia threw Pang Qian to the Ministry of Industry.

In other words, if Pang Qian enters the court, the Ministry of Industry is the most suitable for him. Other places, no matter where his original identity is, will have a certain impact on him, but the Ministry of Industry is not, it is a group of technical nerds , They only care about their own professional issues, and don't care about each other's life past at all.

Of course, there will be concerns, but the living environment here is considered the most peaceful.

Pang Qian was indeed capable, and after he went there, he quickly became friends with those technical geeks. After Li Congjia proposed the concept of a biogas digester, Pang Qian expressed with bright eyes that he wanted to participate in this matter.

Regarding this, Shi Xueting could only express that he really couldn't understand the emperor these days—even if Pang Qian hadn't been emperor for long, he was still an emperor once!

Li Congjia saw that Pang Qian was a duck to water in the Ministry of Industry, and Li Congjia originally thought that the biogas tank was a bit difficult because of some technical problems, and wanted to change it into a septic tank. After Pang Qian passed, he discussed and studied it with others without sleep. God, at last he patted his chest with Li Congjia and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will be able to make a biogas digester."

Shi Xueting, who was standing aside, was not surprised by this situation, but the secretaries around Li Congjia were not used to Pang Qian calling Li Congjia His Majesty without any burden—what the hell are you? What about the pride of the emperor?

In this regard, Pang Qian said: What is that?Can I eat it?

Moreover, Pang Qian felt that he had just found the things he liked now, and his enthusiasm for these things was much greater than when he was the emperor before.

I have to say that at this time, there is a gap between the aristocrats who have studied systematically and those who rely on their own understanding to find out a little bit. These people may know something vaguely, but let him use it. Yes, but Pang Qian clearly knows the principles of those things and where they can be used, so he is very handy in using them.

Li Congjia observed him for several months, and finally decided decisively: appoint Pang Qian as Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

The eyes of Manchu Wenwu were about to come out, and now they really wanted to know how the news would react if it reached Xiuguo.

It's a pity that the speed of information dissemination is too slow these days. Everyone waited for more than a month before they heard that Pang Qian became the minister of the Ministry of Industry in Datang, which aroused great repercussions in Xiuguo.

Li Congshan directly said that Pang Qian was a traitor of Xiuguo. He was originally from the Tang Dynasty, so he made so many inappropriate actions before, and then used this to prove the correctness of his ascension to the throne. He was forced into the palace for Xiuguo of the crime.

Li Congjia rolled his eyes at this, and felt that Li Congshan's problem of jumping out of trouble would probably not be cured. Li Jing really didn't know how to teach the prince. Way of thinking, as for the other prince Li Hongji... Li Hongji is indeed a good fighter in war, but he is probably... not much better as an emperor.

When will Li Congshan understand that the strength of a country does not come from wars of words?

Those of you who are capable, don’t be cowardly when you see Tang Jun. If you can’t beat him, you just run away, and you don’t even defend the city. How dare you emphasize your orthodoxy?

What's the use of being orthodox?After so many years, it can be considered that he has experienced so many ups and downs, why does he still not understand what it means to be king and loser?

This time, Li Congjia didn't care what Li Congshan said, but gave Gao Huaide an order: advance as fast as possible, and it would be best to make Xiuguo disappear from this world within a year.

And the other person involved in this incident didn't pay attention to this incident at all, as if he didn't know it, he was immersed in his own world every day, and even slandered him as a spy of the Tang Dynasty when Li Congshan jumped on his feet. When destroying Xiuguo, he also brought a surprise to Li Congjia.
