Tang Dynasty Never Night

To be honest, the formula of cement is actually not difficult to get, as long as you get the cement and study it, it will come out. If this formula is held in the hands of others, it is estimated that the Ministry of Industry will not do it like this. After all, there is no What about patents, but if it were Li Xian...they really didn't dare.

In fact, Li Xian had already had a premonition, but he always felt that even if he wanted to build roads, he would not use such a large amount at the beginning. He has already established cement kilns in many limestone producing areas in Datang, and the daily output is quite a lot.

It's just that he didn't expect to start repairing from Chang'an. This accident is not too unexpected. After all, most of the officials are now in Dongdu, and even Li Xian is not in Chang'an to supervise the country. The road construction in Chang'an will have the least impact. And since it’s also the capital city, it can’t be that other places have cement roads, but Chang’an is a rammed earth road, right?

Li Xian had no choice but to hand over the formula to the Ministry of Industry. Even if he is a prince, his power is limited. Giving it to the country will probably speed up the pace of road construction.

Of course, compared to Dai Zhide, Master Xu Yu was more kind, so he came to Li Xian directly with the funds in his pocket: "My lord, please bring the cement in your hand first, the cement kiln we are building now will be returned soon." It's useless."

Li Xian had a little selfishness at the beginning, but now that he has sold the cement, and he is still supplying it for a short period of time, it makes him somewhat balanced, but after getting the contract, Li Xian shook his hand and said quickly: " Xu Shangshu, please let me go."

Damn it, a bag of cement is almost sold at a sky-high price, [-] guan a bag, it’s mainly sold to others, let’s just sell it to the country... I don’t even believe it if it’s not corruption.

Master Xu Yu's round smiling face almost lost sight of his eyes: "Then... how much is the king saying is appropriate?"

Li Xian waved his hand: "Let's follow the previous price."

Li Xian had already cooperated with the Ministry of Household Affairs when building dams around Chang'an before, and there was no need to mention any price. Although there has been a bit of inflation in recent years, as far as Li Xian is concerned, he no longer needs to rely on this to make money.

I have to say that having no wife and no children sounds pitiful, but in a way, you don’t have to support your family anymore. If one person is full, the whole family won’t be hungry, plus parents often give pocket money, Li Xian There is no shortage of money at all.

As for the lack of money at the beginning... Isn't that spent on research?Now when he conducts research, he directly applies for it and then goes to the Ministry of Industry to receive funding from the state. He has less to spend on his own, and...although it is embarrassing, but Zheng Qi is a small money-making expert, and Li Xian doesn't know how he is. He did, anyway, he set aside a lot of family property, and gave him a little pocket money back from time to time.

Li Xian counted with his fingers and found that he was probably raised by many people, his parents, brother and boyfriend... In this case, why did he have to raise the price?

Master Xu Yu left satisfied. He was already prepared to buy cement at a high price. To be honest, everyone knows this trick. Anyway, if you don’t take money from the national treasury, it’s not worth it. Who wouldn't do it to make money at home?And Li Xian's performance was better than everyone expected.

Even though he didn't make friends with anyone except Zheng Qi, his reputation was good, and many old officials would praise him for his innocence.

Oh, in addition to the heart of a child, there is another capable person who works hard, so Prince Li Xian and Shou Wang Li Xian were kicked to Chang'an. One was to supervise the country in Chang'an, and the other was to supervise the road construction project.

For Li Xian, this is a very good opportunity. In the past, Li Hong also stayed in Chang'an to supervise the country. Li Zhi directly left his son in the capital, no matter from which point of view, he trusted Li Xian.

It’s just that the pressure on Li Xian is also a bit high. It’s true that Li Hong was in Chang’an to supervise the country before, but at that time Li Xian stayed there to help, and there were a bunch of prime ministers who were also helping in Chang’an, but when Li Xian came here, he Only one Dai Zhide was brought back, oh, there was another Li Xian to go back with, but Li Xian... was too biased, Li Xian felt relieved and also had a headache at the same time—brother can’t help, tortured to death up.

Chang'an is still prosperous, and the emperor and empress ministers did not seem to be different there. If I have to say it, it is that the price of food has dropped. This...for the common people, it feels like it is good.

I don't know why, but the standard of living is good no matter where he is, but Li Xian has a special sense of belonging to Chang'an, and this sense of belonging can only be compared with Yangzhou.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Xian showed a lazy and relaxed state, and went to Li Xian's East Palace to watch the excitement from time to time. Yes, it was purely to watch the excitement. For things like road construction, Li Xian only needs to grasp the general direction, and he doesn't need to do the work himself, so he has a lot of time to tease Li Xian and tease his nephew by the way.

Li Xian's eldest son is now two and a half years old, and it's the time when it's the best time to talk and go, but it's the most fun. This child combines the advantages of Li Xian and Fang's, but he is so cute because he is still young.

Li Xian doesn't like children mainly because he dislikes them being noisy, and he doesn't like to take care of children, but he doesn't need to take care of this child, as long as he has nothing to do, he can just play with the children.

Li Guangshun obviously liked this uncle very much, because Li Xian always carried all kinds of snacks with him. Although he didn't give them too much every time, they were still very attractive to children.

Seeing his nephew's obedient appearance for two snacks, Li Xian inexplicably thought of the little white tiger back then, thinking how cute that little white tiger was back then, after being brought back for two days, it became round and plump. The soft pads of the small body are also very q, and the gaze looks similar to that of the little nephew. It seems that mammals always have similarities in their infancy.

As for now... Hey, I really don't want to mention it anymore, time is a butcher's knife, forcibly turning the always cute little white tiger into a greedy, playful, and refusing white fat man with cavities in his mouth.

It's obviously an eyesore for Li Xian to be so leisurely here. Anyway, Li Xian was very angry when he saw him having fun with his son.

This person is so contradictory. If Li Xian rushes to do everything every day in order to show that he is particularly diligent and motivated, then Li Xian will probably become suspicious instead. Now Li Xian does nothing every day. When he arrives in the East Palace, he first comes to fight He said hello, then turned around and finished his own affairs and ran to play with his son, or read idle books when he had nothing to do, and laughed at him when he was too busy with work to be careful of premature aging before leaving.

Li Xian was about to die of depression in his heart. He wanted to clean up this kid when he was on holiday, but he didn't know where he went. This Li Xian was very depressed.

Turning around, I finally found a chance for Li Xian to block Li Xian in the East Palace and beat him up. Of course, he didn't dare to beat him too hard. It's true that Li Xian's force value is not high, but this can't stand him. What's more, that person is not only high in strength, if Li Xian is really pissed off, he will cry to the person at home, and Li Xian's good life will come to an end.

Li Xian was beaten and lay down on the table and refused to get up. He looked up at Li Xian and asked, "Are you having some free time today?"

Li Xian raised his eyebrows: "If your mouth is not honest, I won't tell you about General Zheng."

Li Xian squinted at him: "The two of us communicate frequently, so you still need to tell me his news?"

Li Xian: As a married person, why is he blinded?

"That's fine, let him stay at the border during the Chinese New Year this year. Anyway, the war has not stopped, and it's not easy for him, a deputy general, to go to Chang'an."

Fuck it, people do things!

Li Xian jumped up in an instant: "You don't let him go home when it's Chinese New Year. We haven't seen each other for almost half a year. How dare you!"

Li Xian rolled his eyes: "What's there to be embarrassed about? He went there quite late, and the border guards haven't been home for nearly a year, not to mention a year, there are several years."

When Li Xian thought about it, he suddenly felt that it was true. If he wanted to defend his family and country, he would have to make sacrifices. He stood in the upper class, so he could use his privileges to get his sweetheart back. The soldiers at the bottom could only stay there.

Thinking about it this way, Li Xian also felt that it was unreasonable for him to insist on letting Zheng Qi come back. He thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll go to see him during the Chinese New Year. Well, by the way, bring something more. What do you think of the labor force?"

You are my ancestor!

Li Xian immediately said: "Calm down for a while, I was teasing you just now, the border is still stable now, Zheng Qi has to come back, so don't think about those things that you have."

Wuliang Tianzun, if this makes his younger brother really go to the battlefield, he will probably be eaten alive by his parents. This younger brother is too important, and he must not be allowed to have an accident.

After hearing this, Li Xian hesitated: "Is this really good?"

Li Xian said patiently: "Only Zheng Qingcheng can come back, and he still has to come back to explain the situation there in detail. He is more adaptable, and of the two lieutenants, only Zheng Qingcheng can come back."

Li Xian didn't worry about it after hearing this, but when he thought that Zheng Qi was not coming to Chang'an but going to Luoyang, he couldn't help saying: "I'm going back to Luoyang before the twelfth lunar month!"

Li Xian... Li Xian has no temper at all: "You finish the work in hand, just tell Dad and go."

Li Xian felt that since he became the prince, he has become that little cabbage that no one loves. He has to supervise the country in Chang'an during the Chinese New Year, but his parents, brothers and sisters are all in Luoyang. It is impossible to live this life.

Just when Li Xian felt that he was about to be abandoned, news came from Luoyang that Li Zhi and Empress Wu were going to take people back to Chang'an.Of course, there was a reason for them to return to Chang'an. King Bai Suji of Kucha came to court, and it is said that he brought Yinpoluo and famous horses with him.

Li Xian had never heard of Yinpoluo, but he didn't dare to ask. It would be fine if Zheng Qi was here, anyway, he doesn't know much, but asking in front of others is equivalent to telling others that he is ignorant However, he still couldn't let go of this face, and finally found out that the so-called Yinpoluo was a silver wine vessel.

It seems that this thing is not as interesting as famous horses to Li Xian. Of course, what interests Li Xian the most is probably the name of the King of Kucha.

When Bai Suji and Li Xian knew this name, they almost couldn't hold back their laughter in front of Li Xian and Dai Zhide.

Oh mom, I don't know what this has to do with Bai Suzhen.Although he held back, Li Xian and Dai Zhide still looked at him with the expression of looking at Shen Jingbing.

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Fortunately, his name is not Bai Suzhen."

"Bai Suzhen? Who is it? The younger sister of King Kucha?" Li Xian looked blank, and Dai Zhide also looked blank.

Huh, they couldn't get this joke at all, so... The Legend of the White Snake probably...hasn't appeared in this era?The feeling of being the only one who discovers a joke is really... lonely as snow.

Thinking about it this way, there were really too few good stories in the Tang Dynasty, or...he made some contributions to the spiritual food of the people of the Tang Dynasty?Li Xian is also too busy to panic, there are too few places where he is needed, after all, he only needs to take care of the road construction in Chang'an City, and he does not take care of other places.

As for Chang'an City... It's not what he said, even if he is not allowed to watch, give those people ten courages, I guess they would not dare to cut corners. After all, this is the capital city, and the craftsmen were careful when designing various launching routes. no.

Li Xian's regular job every day is to walk around the construction site to show that he is still there, and then come back.Later, an edict came from Luoyang saying that Li Zhi and Empress Wu would arrive in Chang'an in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, so Li Xian hurried to the meeting.

The theme of the meeting was--can the road be repaired before the emperor and queen's honorable car arrives in Chang'an?

This is really a bit difficult. After all, everything is artificial these days. It was already October when Li Xian came to Chang'an to start construction. It took two months to repair the roads of Chang'an City, even if Chang'an City is not big at this time. Can't do it.

But when the emperor came back, he couldn't show them a messy capital city due to construction, not to mention that King Kucha came in the twelfth lunar month, so he couldn't be ashamed in front of foreign friends, right?

Finally, Li Xian waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about the details. You can choose the main road and build it first, and then build the next-level route after finishing it."

Even later generations will not be able to make the whole city full of concrete roads, and Chang'an can't reach it now, so let's build the main road first, whether it is the Emperor and Empress returning to Chang'an or the King of Kucha, it is impossible to take them to the small road. ?It must be a big road, and the rest can be repaired slowly.

This method is the best way, but it does reduce everyone's pressure. Li Xian stared at it for two days and found that he didn't have to. There are only a few main roads in Chang'an City, even if it is slower than the emperor It was finished before Tianhou came here.

Li Xian has nothing to do, and he doesn't want to get in front of Li Xian to get a beating. It's too cold to tease his nephew recently, so he just sits aside and writes The Legend of the White Snake. I can't write it out, but the story of White Snake can be written with more oil and vinegar, because the story itself is relatively simple, if he is really asked to write Journey to the West or something... Sorry, although he is very familiar with this, he really doesn't remember much What are the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties?

The story of The Legend of the White Snake is quite simple. Strictly speaking, it is just the love story between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. Li Xian is addicted to writing and splashes ink every day. Seeing that he often writes at his desk, Li Xian thinks there is something new about it. I have an idea, and I dare not bother.

After going back and forth, when Zheng Qi came back, Li Xian had already finished writing this book.It's just that Li Xian never expected that his second reader would be Empress Wu. Well, the first one is of course Zheng Qi.

In recent years, Empress Wu has not been so strict with the Shouwang Mansion. The most important thing is... Ahem, when her son is with Zheng Qingcheng, it is not easy for her to send someone over to listen to the wall.However, Li Xian recently changed his usual style of not writing without writing and began to concentrate on writing books, which made Empress Wu very interested.

After Li Zhi and Empress Wu returned to Chang'an, they summoned their two sons. They naturally praised and gave advice to Li Xian. After all, this was the first time that Li Xian was in charge of the country. He used to be a deputy.

It is strict with the prince, but not so strict with the mascot seventh son.Both Li Zhi and Empress Wu made fun of Li Xian for being willing to write more when he had nothing to do.

Li Zhi even asked: "What do you think? Tell me first."

Li Xian was a little embarrassed: "I don't have any special ideas."

Li Zhi quickly said: "Your father is old, so you can't help being scared, you should find out with father first."

Li Xian couldn't do it with a smile: "No really, it's just that I suddenly wanted to write a story recently. I've heard a lot of stories before, but now there are too few stories, so I wanted to write them for everyone to read."

Li Xian watched his father and mother tease his younger brother and laughed along with him. He didn't feel unbalanced when his father and mother were more kind to him than Li Xian. He knew very well in his heart that the prince is the future emperor, so naturally Be stricter, it is reasonable for parents to be strict with him, Li Xian will probably be a virtuous king in the future, so the requirements don't have to be so high.

Li Zhi never expected that his son was still writing books, so he was taken aback for a moment before he said: "Well, this... is actually an elegant hobby."

Empress Wu was very interested: "What did you write, show it to Auntie."

Li Lingyue on the side also joined in the fun: "I want to watch Brother Seven too!"

Li Xian patted Li Lingyue's head and said, "The story is a bit long, and I haven't finished it yet. How about showing it to A Niang and my sister when it's finished?"

He said so and didn't continue to chase Empress Wu. On the contrary, Li Lingyue was more curious and insisted on asking what the story was, but Li Xian was also bad, so he didn't tell her, and just watched the beautiful and delicate little loli circle around her. , and finally coaxed Li Lingyue with a pack of newly researched candies—this candy actually doesn’t have any special taste, but the cooks in Shouwang’s Mansion evolved a bit quickly and developed a small amount of food coloring. Of course, the coloring results are not as good as those of later generations. So beautiful, but at this time it is considered unique.

Those candies are all kinds of colorful, just like girls of Li Lingyue's age.After Li Xian finished giving Li Lingyue, he turned his head and saw Li Lun, who was already 13 years old and tried hard to act like an adult, secretly looking at the candy in Li Lingyue's hand.

There was only one bag of sugar, and if I gave it to my younger sister, my younger brother would have nothing. Li Xian had no choice but to hand the jerky in his sleeve to Li Lun for him to grind his teeth.

For a while, the Hanyuan Hall was quite warm.Li Hong passed away, it seems that the biggest obstacle is gone, the royal family seems to be happy and happy, although Li Zhi is somewhat sad, after all, he has put the most effort into this son, but now he can only sigh and order his subordinates to recover in Luozhou. Set up Goushi County to manage Li Hong's tomb.

King Qiuci is on his way now, but it was Zheng Qi who arrived in Chang'an earlier than him.Zheng Qi rushed back with all kinds of detailed military reports, and only brought dozens of guards. This time he came back relatively low-key, and there was no grand occasion of thousands of people blocking the city gate.

Zheng Qi had already written a letter to Li Xian before he came back. Li Xian was so excited that he wrote the book at a faster speed, but he was also a little depressed. I know when Zheng Qi will come to see him.

Hey, sometimes class and so on are quite annoying. If it was in modern times, he could simply go to Zheng's house and wait. Anyway, both parents know it. Now... if he really goes, then gossip will really fill the city. Now, the King of Kucha is coming, the external image must be done well, Li Xian can't make troubles.

As a result, what Li Xian did not expect was that Zheng Qi turned around and ran to him after returning home that day after going to the palace to report on his work.

Li Xian was very surprised when he saw him: "Huh? Why are you here? Didn't you go home?"

Zheng Qi's lips were a little dry and peeled, and he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before he said: "I went back, but I was kicked out again."

"Ah?" Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi blankly: "What mistake did you make?"

"I didn't make a mistake, it's just that my father thinks I'm an eyesore, and my mother is busy with other things as soon as I go. He's not happy, so he kicks me out."

Li Xian blinked his eyes and didn't understand. He also knew Father Zheng and Mother Zheng, and it seemed that these two... didn't seem so loving.When we met before, Li Xian always felt that if it was in modern times, Father Zheng and Mother Zheng might have divorced a long time ago. Well, Mother Zheng must despise Father Zheng, and Father Zheng is not like a wife slave. The reason why he looks weak The main reason is that I can't keep up with my ability. Now I suddenly protect my wife like this, it's really confusing. Could it be that this one has also been imprisoned?

Just when Li Xian's brain was wide open, Zheng Qi's lips twitched slightly and said: "Well, my mother is pregnant, and my father is afraid that she will throw me out if she is tired."

"What?" Li Xian felt...Compared to Zheng Linjiang being pierced, this thunder is bigger...
