Datang Institute of Technology
Chapter 46
To write an invitation, in order to show sincerity, Xu Changsheng must write it himself, and he has to write it with a brush.
After all, although pencils are popular now, most of them are bought by poor families and some shopkeepers, and pencils are not formal enough.
Therefore, Xu Changsheng wrote the invitation with a sense of shame.
His handwriting, even if he wanted to hide it now, he couldn't hide it anymore. It's a bit embarrassing to his good friend. After learning it for so long, how can he still write it so twisted.
So, some things, if you don't have talent, you really can't learn them well.
There were a lot of posts written by Xu Changsheng, so people sent them one by one.
And then...he ran away.
Riding a big white, he followed the Xu family's caravan out of Chang'an, and he was going back to Xu's village.
I heard that after his post was sent out, some great Confucian scholars were so angry that their veins almost exploded. Is this the word written by the students of the Imperial College?Especially Ouyang Xun, a doctor of the Imperial College who taught him calligraphy, dared not go out for many days, ashamed to meet people.
Whoever said Xu Jiazi's calligraphy was taught by him, he would be anxious with whoever, it was obviously taught by the prince.
At this time, Xu Changsheng had already left Chang'an, and looked back at Chang'an City.
He came to Datang from the winter of the third year of Zhenguan, and came to Chang'an from Xujia Village. Now it is the middle of July of the fourth year of Zhenguan.
Time seemed to pass by quite quickly, and it was also quite fulfilling.
The Imperial College will be on vacation for about two months, and the next time I go to school, I have to wait for the cooler weather in autumn.
He entered Chang'an wearing crotch pants, but now he is wearing a scholar's robe when he goes back. This is a change.
The road is still the potholed road, even the official road.
Not to mention the official road, it is completely mountain road, Xujia Village is really remote enough, and it is difficult for their uncles in Xujia Village to transport goods to Chang'an through this road every day.
When Xu Changsheng came back, the people in Xujia Village had been waiting for him, even the great grandfather was there, especially a group of excited children, who were shouting at Changsheng from a long distance away.
Xu Changsheng came back, back to the changed Xujia Village.
Regardless of the fact that there are still twenty days left until the fifth day of August, there are still many details to be done.
For example... the trash cans on the side of the road must be erected. For example, on the fifth day of August, there must be overcrowding. At least there must be a place to sell food and water for them.
There are also two of his subjects, and he has to personally test them one by one.
Therefore, when Xu Changsheng returned to Xujia Village, he just talked about the past that day, and started to get busy the next day.
I have to say that Xujia Village is indeed a good place. Most of the flowers he cut have survived, and now there are large and large areas, which are getting more and more lush.
Xu Changsheng asked people to place trash cans at intervals.
On the pedestrian street in the middle of each row of houses, that is, on the street made of red bricks, there are many chairs for rest.
Xu Changsheng ran around the village, checking what was missing.
A group of children ran to fetch water with a bucket very early every day, and then began to water the flowers.
Xu Changsheng frowned. It was a very long distance for them to carry water. It used to be nothing, but now there are more flowers in Xujia Village. These children have to get up very early to start carrying water, and then they can water all the flowers at noon. over.
These kids are extremely enthusiastic, and none of them complained, but... after all, it was too much trouble.
Xu Changsheng thought about it, and the first thing he thought of was tap water. There is a particularly large lake in the back of their mountain, and there is water flowing down all year round. It can be seen that apart from the accumulation of water in the lake on rainy days, a lot of water in the lake should also come from groundwater, otherwise it would not be It will flow endlessly all year round.
It's just a little far away from the village, but that's not a problem. The terrain there is high, so there must be no problem with water diversion.
That is to say, the problem of water source has been solved.
The rest is a matter of air pressure and plumbing.
Tap water needs air pressure, otherwise the water on a slightly higher terrain will not be able to go up.
However, the location of the lake is higher than that of Xujia Village, which means that he only needs to add some auxiliary air pressure, and it is not necessary to press the water to a pressure as high as dozens of floors.
Coincidentally, now that the houses in Xujia Village have been built, so many brick-fired kilns in the back mountain are also free, and they can be used to burn water and pressure.
What Xu Changsheng thought of was to generate strong air pressure by boiling water, the principle is similar to that of a pressure cooker.
In this way, not only the auxiliary air pressure is available, but also hot water can be provided uniformly for Xujia Village.
Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up. This is a good idea. There is no need to dig the kiln, and the ready-made one can be used. It only needs a little modification.
Now the trouble is the plumbing.
In the Qin Dynasty, there were already underground water pipes. They were built before the unification of the six countries. The water pipes were made of pottery. It can be seen that the 5000-year civilization is indeed not just a sentence, and the wisdom of the ancients is sometimes particularly shocking.
There were underground water pipes in the Qin Dynasty, but it wasn't Xu Changsheng's nonsense, he had visited such historical sites in his previous life, and the location was the Yin Ruins in Anyang.
In the Tang Dynasty, these pipes were relatively advanced, but the main body was still made of pottery, and some soft tissues were used to seal the connecting parts.
Because underground waterways were not popular in the Tang Dynasty, there were not many places where they were used, but the craftsmanship already existed.
Xu Changsheng thought about it, if he started to develop the pipes needed for running water by himself now, he probably wouldn't be able to do it in twenty days.
Gritting your teeth, buy it!
In any case, the tap water system must be brought out before the fifth day of August.
In this way, the water supply in the village is solved, and there is no need for the children to carry water to water the flowers every day before dawn.
Now he only needs to design the faucet.
Thinking of this, I ran to find my great grandfather. It would definitely cost a lot of money to buy pipes, and the pipes had to be fired by those merchants, because there are no merchants that specialize in selling pipes yet.
It is also fortunate that their Xujia Village has made a lot of money now, otherwise the tap water system would definitely not be able to come out.
The great grandfather also gritted his teeth and agreed. Now that Xujia Village has no worries about food and clothing, it is useless to keep so much money in hand.
So, the Xu family uncles of a team went out with money, and they went to the merchants to burn pipes for them.
Xu Changsheng also started to design the faucet, and then asked Uncle Sixteen to make it.
Now, the houses and roads in Xujia Village have been repaired, and a large number of laborers have been released. Most of the people have been assigned to extract oil, make dried beans, etc., and with the help of the pulley block, Xujia Village's shipping capacity is also high. Great improvement.
Now, some clan uncles have to be arranged to dig and bury the pipeline. Xu Changsheng also draws with a brush. He must arrange the pipeline route and record it, otherwise it will be troublesome if his pipeline is dug up in the future. .
With such a busy schedule, every day is very fulfilling.
Time passes day by day.
The pipe Xu Changsheng wanted finally arrived in Xujia Village in the last few days. The blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty was very delicate. It can be seen that the firing process at that time was already very good, so it was not particularly difficult to fire the pipe they wanted. The craftsmanship of the pipeline is definitely not as good as firing blue and white porcelain.
Quickly asked a group of uncles to carry the pipe, buried it in the ground, and then covered it with soil.
A large reservoir was dug in the back mountain. The main purpose of these relatively large pipes is to introduce the water from the lake into the reservoir.
Then seal the reservoir and connect it to the fire kiln in the back mountain. The air pressure generated by the fire kiln heating water is passed into the reservoir.
One end of the water outlet of the reservoir is connected with numerous small pipelines.
The pipes are buried at the door of each house, but they cannot be directly connected to the house through the wall like modern steel pipes, so they can only be connected to the door of the house.
But the good thing is that one is buried at the door of every house, so that there is no need to worry about crowding when using water.
Then connect the faucet at the end, and you're done.
Xu Changsheng was drenched in sweat as he ran around checking the pipes in every place.
Although the people in Xujia Village have been busy for so many days, they still don't know what they are doing.
Every time he asked Xu Changsheng, Xu Changsheng also smiled very mysteriously, and kept saying that he would know in two days.
The people in Xujia Village are very patient now, just waiting every day with a smile.
On this day, all the pipes have been buried. From the surface, it is impossible to see what is underground, but a pipe is exposed at the door of each house, and the pipe is also protected by a platform built with bricks. That is to say, everyone What you see is just a little more than a faucet.
"Is it alright?" Uncle Sixteen and Grandfather were there, as well as a group of children watching.
Other people from Xujia Village also ran over to watch the excitement when they heard that the work they had been working on for so long had been completed.
Xu Changsheng nodded, theoretically there is no problem at all.
Water source, water pressure, plumbing, these conditions are all met.
"Let's try it." Xu Changsheng said, whether it will succeed or not depends on the result.
"I'll come, I'll come." Brother Changbai couldn't wait a long time ago. He has been running with Xu Changsheng every day for the past two days. He probably knows what this thing is for, but he thinks it's amazing that the lake is so far away from their Xujia Village. , water can lead to each of their households?
Xu Changsheng nodded, and Brother Changbai raised his head and chest, and then turned the faucet around him, "Is that so?"
The faucet is actually a switch, it couldn't be simpler.
But nothing seems to happen.
Looking at Xu Changsheng, he looked puzzled.
Xu Changsheng moved a little closer, listened to the outlet of the faucet, and said, "Wait a while."
Not long after, the faucet made a strange "whoosh" sound.
A group of people were stunned, what does this mean?
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, the first time the water entered, the pipe was full of air, and hearing the sound, it was the water that pressed the air out.
With this sound, it is normal.
After waiting for a while, there was another grunt, which was very strange.
Brother Changbai also followed Xu Changsheng's example and went to listen to the faucet, but only his little head approached. Suddenly... with a splash, white water rushed out.
Brother Changbai was stunned. In the hot weather, his whole body was drenched by the cold water. He couldn't help but slapped smartly, and kept spitting water out of his mouth, "Out... water out!"
As he shouted, the people around were in an uproar.
Actually... lead the water directly to the door of the house
Doesn't this mean that they no longer have to travel far to fetch water?
No matter how you look at it, the white water is not real.
"With this water, we can make dried tofu much faster."
The water for making tofu in Xujia Village is picked up bucket by bucket, and many people are arranged to carry it every day.
Xu Changsheng smiled. One of the purposes of science is not to save labor.
Xu Changsheng raised his head, "This...is called tap water."
Everyone froze for a moment, then nodded, it wasn't just tap water, but the water would come by itself after a twist, it was amazing, and only Xujia Village had such a convenient thing.
The atmosphere was full of joy, and the atmosphere became a lot more lively. Everyone curiously tried the water, especially a group of children, who were going crazy.
Xu Changsheng looked at the people surrounding him and said, "Go back quickly and try to see if the tap water in front of your house is running. If there is any problem, we will solve it as soon as possible."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they realized what they were fighting around here for. There was running water at their door, so they had to go back and try it.
Especially a group of children, those who yelled "ahh" started to rush.
A group of adults looked cheerfully. In the past, their children were yellow and thin, and their spirits were not very good, but now look at them, they are as lively as monkeys. Which parents don’t want their children to live a healthy and happy life, watching I can't be happy with this scene.
"Chang Chang Sheng, we have water in our house, tap water."
The voice of a child next to him called out.
Now that the air in the pipe has been expelled, the waiting time will not be so long.
"Chang Chang Sheng, we also have water in our house."
Another child's voice came.
A group of children ran from house to house like a whirlwind, and started yelling when the water came out.
I never get tired of it, and I didn't lose interest at all because I watched it again and again.
It was only after running through the five hundred households in Xujia Village that he stopped for a while.
It is also thanks to the fact that they have now planned the houses in Xujia Village together, and the distance has been greatly shortened, otherwise they would have to lie down a few times.
It's very lively, tell everyone.
Because it is the water from the lake, and the water from the lake is in the mountains, which is composed of rainwater and groundwater.
So the water quality is very good, slightly colder than normal water.
Xu Changsheng took a sip, it was still a little sweet, it smelled like mountain spring.
Thanks to the fact that the water in ancient times was not polluted, it is so sweet.
In ancient times, everyone basically drank cold water, so they didn't pay much attention to it. In addition, the unpolluted water source may be better than the modern water source that does not know where to draw it, and then treat it through various methods and drugs. Be clean.
At least for Xu Changsheng, the taste of this water is better than the taste of modern tap water, not at 01:30, let alone the taste of tap water.
Of course, water pipes are not only available at the door of every household, for example, there are also one at intervals beside the road, which is for the convenience of watering the green belt.
It is much more convenient to wash the road surface every once in a while. He knows that these people in Xujia Village love to protect these roads now, and they will wash the section of the road that they are responsible for every once in a while. The road to my house is dirty, and I will be made fun of if I don't clean it.
There is also the problem of hot water from the fire kiln. There is a special pipe connection, but it is not possible to install hot water pipes at the door of every household. We have to install a few places to receive water in one street, and then people take buckets to go Then, the distance is not far.
It is a hot day now, and the demand for hot water is not particularly large. In winter, it is estimated that more hot water will be burned to meet the needs of [-] households.
There was cold water and hot water again, and the eyes of the people in Xujia Village rolled with smiles, not only finding it magical but also convenient.
Some members of the Xu family who were still busy were stunned when they came home after work and saw the children who were picking up water at the door.
The brat deliberately turned the faucet switch, raised his head, and asked, "Father, do you know what this is?"
But they can't be killed by western style.
But Changsheng said to save water, they always put the buckets under the pipes, and reconnect the buckets of water when they are used up, which is a joy.
"Father, I'll get you hot water for a bath later."
The children in Xujia Village today are extremely well-behaved, in fact, they just want to fetch water and play.
Xu Changsheng really couldn't understand where the fun was, probably because he wasn't really a child in his heart.
The tap water system in Xujia Village is considered to be in operation.
Xu Changsheng ran back to his house. To be honest, he hadn't lived in his new house yet.
When he went to Chang'an, because the thatched house was demolished and the house was still being repaired, he lived in the house of his great-grandfather, who had a lot of rooms anyway.
Now running back to his new home, he couldn't help but be taken aback when he entered the door.
Originally, he thought that his home should be extremely empty, but he didn't expect that the furniture was already full, and all of them were brand new, probably never used.
Brother Changbai just ran over at this time, "Changsheng, my mother told you to come over for dinner later."
Xu Changsheng nodded, then pointed to the furniture at home, "Grandpa bought it for me?"
Brother Changbai shook his head, "Uncle Sixteen did all of them, and our Uncle Sixteen also made a lot of them."
Uncle Sixteen's workmanship is really good, the furniture is basically made of wood and looks very beautiful.
I heard that Uncle Sixteen retired from the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty before. It seems that he is indeed skilled. Compared with modern furniture, it is more tasteful. These are all handmade products.
Of course, these furniture are all in the style of the Tang Dynasty, a bit similar to tatami mats, relatively short, and have a special flavor.
"Why didn't I see Uncle Sixteen make furniture for everyone before?" Xu Changsheng asked.
Brother Changbai replied, "Where do you put the thatched cottage?"
Xu Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, it was indeed the reason.
Xu Changsheng ran upstairs and downstairs in his own house, he didn't have to worry about it at all, he could just live in it, everything was complete.
Brother Changbai also ran up and down the stairs, thinking that the stairs are very interesting. I probably haven't seen the unified design of the S-line spiraling up the stairs.
Xu Changsheng nodded his head. Later, he is going to get a refrigerator and put some popsicles, cola and herbal tea. This is the real life.
……
In the next few days, Xu Changsheng felt a lot more relaxed.
"Changsheng, let's feed the chickens, are you going?" A large group of children came running to him with pots of bean dregs.
To be honest, this kind of country life was something Xu Changsheng never dared to think about in his whole life, it was leisurely and carefree.
He replied, "Okay."
He also wanted to see how their chickens were doing.
When you come to the back mountain, there are all over the mountains and plains, just like following a zoo.
The point is that when a group of chickens saw the child carrying the basin, they ran to this side in a hurry.
Some fierce ones pecked directly into the basin, making a group of children scream, "It's so fierce."
Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up. When he left, he was still a chick.
But now, it costs two catties, especially for some big roosters, it is estimated that there are three catties.
Xu Changsheng's saliva almost flowed out, what a chicken, what a chicken.
Running all over the mountains, he must be a good athlete. Chicken must be particularly delicious. Unlike modern chickens, most of them are raised in factories. The range of movement is less than half a meter. The key is that they are all injected with hormones, and they can grow in a month or two Three or four catties.
Not to mention whether chickens that have been given hormones can be eaten, as far as the taste is concerned, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.
Xu Changsheng took a look at the ones that had grown too big, and they would be stewed in two days, so he could be counted as keeping the flowers blooming and seeing the moonlight.
A group of children sprinkled bean dregs on the ground, spreading them all the way, trying to spread as much as possible, otherwise the ones behind would not be able to eat them.
Xu Changsheng took a look, and there was a lot of hay piled up beside him, this is it?
"Changsheng, my mother said that the hens are about to lay eggs, so they are piled up to let them lay eggs."
Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up, counting the time, it was indeed almost there, and he would have free-range eggs to eat from now on.
Now he has milk to drink, chicken to eat, and free-range eggs. His small body should be able to make up for it.
Well, Black and White Flower was brought back to Xujia Village by him, the purpose, self-evident, he wanted to drink fresh milk.
After feeding the chickens, I ran to see the pigs.
Pigs are not fed with their children, because the amount of feeding is a bit large.
Seeing the densely packed pigs in the mountains, Xu Changsheng was also shocked. How much did the great grandfather buy?
He asked Brother Changbai next to him.
Brother Changbai also shook his head, "I don't know how much you bought. Didn't you ask grandpa to buy more pigs, and the bean dregs that the chickens couldn't finish were all used to feed the pigs."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
He just wanted to raise some pigs for Xujia Village to eat for himself, now it seems...
The fat heads and big ears of each pig were completely different from what they saw when they watched the slaughter of pigs.
At the beginning, people in Xujia Village felt that it was a pity to see so many pigs eating. They might as well raise more chickens and eat less chickens.
But watching these pigs grow fat day by day, as if they couldn't bear it, if they didn't know that Xu Changsheng said that the pigs they raised were fatter than other people's, they would have thought that something strange had happened.
Seeing that the pig is so fat, I don't feel sorry for the bean dregs anymore. I laughed so hard that my mouth split open, and I fed it hard every day.
Xu Changsheng calculated the time, such fat pigs could actually be killed and eaten, especially the overly fat pigs, which would weigh two hundred catties no matter what.
After thinking about it, he once said that he wanted to let the people of Chang'an know why he castrated pigs to raise them. Just wait until the fifth day of August, so let's kill some fat pigs. Xuanxue becomes a pig slaughtering conference?It must be interesting.
He found that his life suddenly became very beautiful and enjoyable.
This is the result of half a year of hard work.
These pigs were raised with hard work in their Xujia Village, and they certainly couldn't be provided to others for free.
As soon as his eyes moved, he planned to plan a pedestrian street as a commercial street. Anyway, the building has two floors, and the first floor can be used for business.
And the first business starts from the restaurant.
He has to go back and teach his uncles how to cook pork, their pork is not fishy.
First of all, tamales must be indispensable, and the bean dregs they squeezed for oil can also be used to make bean flour.
Then there is pig's trotter flower, which is a perfect match with bean curd.
Then there are twice-cooked pork, fried pork, fatty intestines, Maoxuewang, pork liver soup...
Talking about how to eat pork, he couldn't hold it anymore. The whole body of a pig is full of treasures. People in the Tang Dynasty still despised it. He had to ask them to reverse this point of view.
After Xu Changsheng finished watching a mountain of pigs, he ran back to realize his great plan.
At this time, Chang'an is also waiting eagerly, and some people are even preparing to go to Xujia Village, because the time is getting closer.
Until a heavy rain washes over the earth, it seems that the heat has been washed away a lot
After the rain, the sky is sunny, and the fifth day of August has arrived.
On this day, it was still daylight, and countless people were already waiting at the gate of Chang'an, and the excitement was comparable to the New Year's Eve.
A row of guards suddenly rushed in at the originally crowded doorway.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then reacted immediately.
This is His Majesty's ride.
His Majesty is going out of the city so early, isn't he also going to Xujia Village?
They guessed right. His Majesty Li Er really went to Xujia Village. He just thought that the horse that didn't eat grass was miraculous, but Fei Tian, even the emperor couldn't resist this temptation.
Xu Changsheng wrote an invitation to him, and of course the crown prince handed it over directly, otherwise he would follow the normal process, and he didn't know when it would be.
He just used the excuse of "I am a talented man from the Tang Dynasty who invited me so kindly, why not go?"
All the ministers looked at each other in dismay at that time, thinking that His Majesty didn't go to escape the summer heat this summer because of the inexhaustible ice cubes.
Now that His Majesty has said it, is there any reason not to go, how can these ministers not go?
So the team is a little bigger.
With Li Shimin's driving, the gate of the city was opened, and the driving was all the way through.
Then the people in Chang'an discovered that after His Majesty went out, there was still a long queue behind him.
Looking at each other, is this all civil and military officials traveling together?
They didn't think too much.
In the past, when the emperor went out to escape the summer heat, he took only a few people with him, and most of the officials had to be kept in the court to maintain the operation, but this time it was different, because Xujia Village was only half a day away from Chang'an, so it would be fine for them to follow.
Behind Li Erxing's car is the car of Empress Changsun. It is boring for her to stay in the palace all year round, and the gardenias she likes come from Xujia Village. Such a nice flower to come.
Then there is the crown prince Li Chengqian, who is not much of a surprise in everyone's mind. Who doesn't know that the crown prince and the Xu family have a good relationship, even if His Majesty and the empress do not go, he will go to support the Xu family.
There is also a group of Li Er's princes and princesses at the back. The princes are headed by Li Tai, the little fat man, followed by Li Ke, Li Yin, Li Shen, Li Fu, etc. Of course, they are all taken care of by special personnel.
The princesses are headed by Princess Changle, followed by Baling, Jin'an, Gaoyang and so on.
This group of princes and princesses are also bored. They stayed in the palace before they became adults or before they got married. Every year, Li Shimin followed Li Shimin when he went out to escape the summer heat, but this year he will not escape the summer heat, so they will not let go of this opportunity to travel. passed.
Then there is a group of ministers.
Behind the minister is the doctor of the Imperial College.
The people in Chang'an were all amazed, this trip is really unprecedented, isn't it?
Look at this battle.
Because all the people traveling are important people, so there are many more guards for protection.
The common people in Chang'an also followed the team, and from time to time, literati and refined scholars recited poems and argued against each other. Before they even arrived at Xujia Village, the atmosphere became lively.
Li Shimin also smiled, is he having fun with the people?
This feeling was actually pretty good, and even made him enjoy it a bit. He couldn't help but lift the curtain of the sedan chair and ask Eunuch Pang De who was following him, "Is it true that I am very close to the people?"
Eunuch Pound didn't know Li Er's careful thinking, and said, "Your Majesty enjoys the joy with the people, and it should be a good story."
This is not the reason, they are going to participate in missions, which is equivalent to modern academic seminars, and they are not just for pleasure, which is fundamentally different from the kind of trips that cost people and money in the previous dynasty.
Of course, Li Shimin still put on a serious face, "This matter is one thing."
It's just that every time Xujiacun held a scientific lecture, he would rush over and forget about it.
The joyful mood made them almost forget the increasingly uneven road under their feet, or maybe the people of Datang have long been used to this kind of potholed road.
It is getting closer and closer to Xujia Village.
You can even see people from Xujia Village coming out to greet them from a distance.
Your Majesty's trip to Xujia Village, such a major event, has long been reported to Xujia Village.
What an honor for a family. All the people in Xujia Village took a hot bath early in the morning, combed their hair meticulously, put on new clothes and shoes, and came to welcome St. drive.
The leader is the great grandfather Xu Wenyuan, and behind him is Xu Changsheng who is wearing a scholarly robe.
When Li Shimin's team came, Xu Changsheng was surprised. This battle must be too big. Look at the endless crowd, how many people are there, and he will have to kill a few more pigs in the village later, otherwise it will not be enough Sell.
These people came from Chang'an, even if they brought food, they would definitely eat in Xujia Village.
As the team approached, the sedan chairs of Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian sped up their pace a little, and they joined Li Er.
The sedan chair stopped, and the three got out of the sedan chair.
There were too many people in Xujia Village, standing there blocked the view of Xujia Village.
Li Shimin looked at Xu Wenyuan, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional, how many years has it been?
At the beginning, the great Confucian who sneered at him and scolded him in front of the civil and military courts and the world is still standing proudly and straight in front of him.
Xu Wenyuan was also a little emotional. He had a heart of mortals and scolded the emperor in front of everyone.
After so many years, he has seen every move of this emperor, except that he took this position regardless of his blood and family, he is indeed a good emperor, at least he is very good to the people of the world.
Xu Wenyuan sighed and walked up, "Xu Wenyuan led the Xu family to greet His Majesty...!"
His Majesty's ability to come here already explains a lot of things, so why should he be obsessed with the past.
Li Shimin also sighed, and said, "Mr. Xu doesn't need to be too polite. Speaking of which, I heard Mr. Xu's lectures when I was in the Imperial College."
Xu Wenyuan was taken aback, it turned out that His Majesty... still remembers.
How could he not remember that high-spirited young man back then.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Yes, speaking of it, His Majesty can be regarded as Mr. Xu's student, and now Mr. Xu has cultivated such amazing and brilliant talents as Changsheng. In terms of educating people, I am afraid that people in the world will not be able to understand them." It’s hard to get around.”
After finishing speaking, he said, "Chengqian, come to meet Mr. Xu."
Li Chengqian stepped forward and gave a student salute, "I have met Mr. Xu."
So, what else can Xu Wenyuan say?Today's princes are all disciples.
Xu Changsheng blinked his eyes in the back, this family is very powerful, even if his great grandfather had a problem in his heart, he probably has solved it now.
Xu Changsheng took a step forward, "Grandfather, let Your Majesty and Your Majesty enter Xujia Village first."
Grandfather Xu Wenyuan nodded, "Please, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin nodded.
Empress Changsun also said, "I've been thinking all the way, what kind of outstanding people Xujia Village is, but now I have to take a good look at it."
Xu Wenyuan was taken aback for a moment, and he straightened his back even more, "Please."
Get out of the way, let Li Er and the others walk in front.
The people in Xujia Village in front also spread out to both sides, making way for them.
Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, and Li Chengqian were about to move forward, but when they raised their heads, they couldn't move no matter what.
I couldn't be more surprised, and thanks to the fact that they have seen all kinds of big scenes, the expression on their faces flashed past.
But Xu Changsheng happened to see that expression, and thought, if he had a camera, he could take a picture of the expression just now, and then add the three words "Shocked Emperor", it must be very appropriate.
Could the three of Li Shimin not be surprised?
What exactly are they seeing?
It was a flower stand made of fresh flowers, a very huge flower stand.
The red roses on the flower bed form a row of characters, "science", "progress" and "wealth".
Then on the top, there are three characters "Xujiacun", which are also composed of roses, but the characters are bigger.
On the flower stand, other places are full of white gardenias, so the red rose is particularly eye-catching.
Xu Changsheng was amused. In fact, it is a kind of flower art that is widely used in modern times. In a slightly larger industrial area, school, etc., which gate is not beautifully piled up with such flowers? This thing is his. Came out of work in two days.
This is the gate, the entrance, of Xujia Village.
Li Shimin and others were really shocked. This is too beautiful, too beautiful, and too macroscopic.
Especially Empress Changsun, she likes her potted flowers so much, and looking at the scene in front of her, it's nothing short of a big deal.
Li Chengqian was also taken aback, and then glanced at Xu Changsheng. Xu Changsheng was smiling like a little fox, with stars in his eyes, and he couldn't ignore his complacency.
"Your Majesty, please." Grandfather Xu Wenyuan shouted again.
Only then did the three of Li Shimin come to their senses, their faces were a little embarrassed, they must have looked silly just now, and they didn't know if they were seen or not, their image, image, probably disappeared.
He coughed, and walked forward pretending to be nonchalant, but he couldn't take his eyes off the flower stand in front of him. Science is progressing and prosperity. Is this Xujia Village?
After the three of Li Shimin left, there were exclamations from behind. They had never seen such a shocking thing.
The three of them glanced at each other, look, they are relatively stable, and the people behind them are even more ignorant.
The people in the surrounding Xujia Village all straightened their backs. This is their Xujia Village, but it's just the entrance. Let's see how surprised these Chang'an people are.
Well, in fact, they were more surprised than these Chang'an people before, even if they saw it now, they were still excited again, this is their Xujia Village!
The three of Li Shimin continued to take the lead, ignoring the embarrassing screaming voices behind, especially Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin's loud voice, which was really embarrassing.
The three of them thought in their hearts that even if they saw something miraculous later, they still had to hold on.
However, the three of them stopped again after bypassing the flower platform.
Looking at it at a glance, it is as flat as a jade belt and a long dragon.
It's so flat, it's unimaginably flat.
It is also wide enough for several batches of carriages to run on it.
Li Shimin has seen so many cities, but he has never seen such a smooth road.
There are also endless flowers dotted on both sides.
Is this a way?
When did Lu become so beautiful?
Aren't the roads full of potholes?Even the Suzaku Avenue in Chang'an is one of the best roads. It took a lot of effort to build the Suzaku Avenue before the stones were leveled and brought in.
But even so, there are still gaps in the connection between stones and stones, and it still looks a little bumpy.
But the road in front of him is as white as jade, without even a hole or a crack.
Can you not surprise him?
"This..." Li Shimin couldn't help asking.
The great grandfather smiled and said, "Please, Your Majesty, this is just a road."
What the hell, Li Shimin thought, he knows this is the road, but where can the road be built like this.
When I started to step on this white jade road, I still felt the feeling of my feet from time to time, and there was really no ups and downs at all.
Xu Changsheng followed behind, covering his mouth, his little face turned red from laughing, for fear of laughing out loud.
At this time, a hand rubbed his head.
Xu Chang
After all, although pencils are popular now, most of them are bought by poor families and some shopkeepers, and pencils are not formal enough.
Therefore, Xu Changsheng wrote the invitation with a sense of shame.
His handwriting, even if he wanted to hide it now, he couldn't hide it anymore. It's a bit embarrassing to his good friend. After learning it for so long, how can he still write it so twisted.
So, some things, if you don't have talent, you really can't learn them well.
There were a lot of posts written by Xu Changsheng, so people sent them one by one.
And then...he ran away.
Riding a big white, he followed the Xu family's caravan out of Chang'an, and he was going back to Xu's village.
I heard that after his post was sent out, some great Confucian scholars were so angry that their veins almost exploded. Is this the word written by the students of the Imperial College?Especially Ouyang Xun, a doctor of the Imperial College who taught him calligraphy, dared not go out for many days, ashamed to meet people.
Whoever said Xu Jiazi's calligraphy was taught by him, he would be anxious with whoever, it was obviously taught by the prince.
At this time, Xu Changsheng had already left Chang'an, and looked back at Chang'an City.
He came to Datang from the winter of the third year of Zhenguan, and came to Chang'an from Xujia Village. Now it is the middle of July of the fourth year of Zhenguan.
Time seemed to pass by quite quickly, and it was also quite fulfilling.
The Imperial College will be on vacation for about two months, and the next time I go to school, I have to wait for the cooler weather in autumn.
He entered Chang'an wearing crotch pants, but now he is wearing a scholar's robe when he goes back. This is a change.
The road is still the potholed road, even the official road.
Not to mention the official road, it is completely mountain road, Xujia Village is really remote enough, and it is difficult for their uncles in Xujia Village to transport goods to Chang'an through this road every day.
When Xu Changsheng came back, the people in Xujia Village had been waiting for him, even the great grandfather was there, especially a group of excited children, who were shouting at Changsheng from a long distance away.
Xu Changsheng came back, back to the changed Xujia Village.
Regardless of the fact that there are still twenty days left until the fifth day of August, there are still many details to be done.
For example... the trash cans on the side of the road must be erected. For example, on the fifth day of August, there must be overcrowding. At least there must be a place to sell food and water for them.
There are also two of his subjects, and he has to personally test them one by one.
Therefore, when Xu Changsheng returned to Xujia Village, he just talked about the past that day, and started to get busy the next day.
I have to say that Xujia Village is indeed a good place. Most of the flowers he cut have survived, and now there are large and large areas, which are getting more and more lush.
Xu Changsheng asked people to place trash cans at intervals.
On the pedestrian street in the middle of each row of houses, that is, on the street made of red bricks, there are many chairs for rest.
Xu Changsheng ran around the village, checking what was missing.
A group of children ran to fetch water with a bucket very early every day, and then began to water the flowers.
Xu Changsheng frowned. It was a very long distance for them to carry water. It used to be nothing, but now there are more flowers in Xujia Village. These children have to get up very early to start carrying water, and then they can water all the flowers at noon. over.
These kids are extremely enthusiastic, and none of them complained, but... after all, it was too much trouble.
Xu Changsheng thought about it, and the first thing he thought of was tap water. There is a particularly large lake in the back of their mountain, and there is water flowing down all year round. It can be seen that apart from the accumulation of water in the lake on rainy days, a lot of water in the lake should also come from groundwater, otherwise it would not be It will flow endlessly all year round.
It's just a little far away from the village, but that's not a problem. The terrain there is high, so there must be no problem with water diversion.
That is to say, the problem of water source has been solved.
The rest is a matter of air pressure and plumbing.
Tap water needs air pressure, otherwise the water on a slightly higher terrain will not be able to go up.
However, the location of the lake is higher than that of Xujia Village, which means that he only needs to add some auxiliary air pressure, and it is not necessary to press the water to a pressure as high as dozens of floors.
Coincidentally, now that the houses in Xujia Village have been built, so many brick-fired kilns in the back mountain are also free, and they can be used to burn water and pressure.
What Xu Changsheng thought of was to generate strong air pressure by boiling water, the principle is similar to that of a pressure cooker.
In this way, not only the auxiliary air pressure is available, but also hot water can be provided uniformly for Xujia Village.
Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up. This is a good idea. There is no need to dig the kiln, and the ready-made one can be used. It only needs a little modification.
Now the trouble is the plumbing.
In the Qin Dynasty, there were already underground water pipes. They were built before the unification of the six countries. The water pipes were made of pottery. It can be seen that the 5000-year civilization is indeed not just a sentence, and the wisdom of the ancients is sometimes particularly shocking.
There were underground water pipes in the Qin Dynasty, but it wasn't Xu Changsheng's nonsense, he had visited such historical sites in his previous life, and the location was the Yin Ruins in Anyang.
In the Tang Dynasty, these pipes were relatively advanced, but the main body was still made of pottery, and some soft tissues were used to seal the connecting parts.
Because underground waterways were not popular in the Tang Dynasty, there were not many places where they were used, but the craftsmanship already existed.
Xu Changsheng thought about it, if he started to develop the pipes needed for running water by himself now, he probably wouldn't be able to do it in twenty days.
Gritting your teeth, buy it!
In any case, the tap water system must be brought out before the fifth day of August.
In this way, the water supply in the village is solved, and there is no need for the children to carry water to water the flowers every day before dawn.
Now he only needs to design the faucet.
Thinking of this, I ran to find my great grandfather. It would definitely cost a lot of money to buy pipes, and the pipes had to be fired by those merchants, because there are no merchants that specialize in selling pipes yet.
It is also fortunate that their Xujia Village has made a lot of money now, otherwise the tap water system would definitely not be able to come out.
The great grandfather also gritted his teeth and agreed. Now that Xujia Village has no worries about food and clothing, it is useless to keep so much money in hand.
So, the Xu family uncles of a team went out with money, and they went to the merchants to burn pipes for them.
Xu Changsheng also started to design the faucet, and then asked Uncle Sixteen to make it.
Now, the houses and roads in Xujia Village have been repaired, and a large number of laborers have been released. Most of the people have been assigned to extract oil, make dried beans, etc., and with the help of the pulley block, Xujia Village's shipping capacity is also high. Great improvement.
Now, some clan uncles have to be arranged to dig and bury the pipeline. Xu Changsheng also draws with a brush. He must arrange the pipeline route and record it, otherwise it will be troublesome if his pipeline is dug up in the future. .
With such a busy schedule, every day is very fulfilling.
Time passes day by day.
The pipe Xu Changsheng wanted finally arrived in Xujia Village in the last few days. The blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty was very delicate. It can be seen that the firing process at that time was already very good, so it was not particularly difficult to fire the pipe they wanted. The craftsmanship of the pipeline is definitely not as good as firing blue and white porcelain.
Quickly asked a group of uncles to carry the pipe, buried it in the ground, and then covered it with soil.
A large reservoir was dug in the back mountain. The main purpose of these relatively large pipes is to introduce the water from the lake into the reservoir.
Then seal the reservoir and connect it to the fire kiln in the back mountain. The air pressure generated by the fire kiln heating water is passed into the reservoir.
One end of the water outlet of the reservoir is connected with numerous small pipelines.
The pipes are buried at the door of each house, but they cannot be directly connected to the house through the wall like modern steel pipes, so they can only be connected to the door of the house.
But the good thing is that one is buried at the door of every house, so that there is no need to worry about crowding when using water.
Then connect the faucet at the end, and you're done.
Xu Changsheng was drenched in sweat as he ran around checking the pipes in every place.
Although the people in Xujia Village have been busy for so many days, they still don't know what they are doing.
Every time he asked Xu Changsheng, Xu Changsheng also smiled very mysteriously, and kept saying that he would know in two days.
The people in Xujia Village are very patient now, just waiting every day with a smile.
On this day, all the pipes have been buried. From the surface, it is impossible to see what is underground, but a pipe is exposed at the door of each house, and the pipe is also protected by a platform built with bricks. That is to say, everyone What you see is just a little more than a faucet.
"Is it alright?" Uncle Sixteen and Grandfather were there, as well as a group of children watching.
Other people from Xujia Village also ran over to watch the excitement when they heard that the work they had been working on for so long had been completed.
Xu Changsheng nodded, theoretically there is no problem at all.
Water source, water pressure, plumbing, these conditions are all met.
"Let's try it." Xu Changsheng said, whether it will succeed or not depends on the result.
"I'll come, I'll come." Brother Changbai couldn't wait a long time ago. He has been running with Xu Changsheng every day for the past two days. He probably knows what this thing is for, but he thinks it's amazing that the lake is so far away from their Xujia Village. , water can lead to each of their households?
Xu Changsheng nodded, and Brother Changbai raised his head and chest, and then turned the faucet around him, "Is that so?"
The faucet is actually a switch, it couldn't be simpler.
But nothing seems to happen.
Looking at Xu Changsheng, he looked puzzled.
Xu Changsheng moved a little closer, listened to the outlet of the faucet, and said, "Wait a while."
Not long after, the faucet made a strange "whoosh" sound.
A group of people were stunned, what does this mean?
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, the first time the water entered, the pipe was full of air, and hearing the sound, it was the water that pressed the air out.
With this sound, it is normal.
After waiting for a while, there was another grunt, which was very strange.
Brother Changbai also followed Xu Changsheng's example and went to listen to the faucet, but only his little head approached. Suddenly... with a splash, white water rushed out.
Brother Changbai was stunned. In the hot weather, his whole body was drenched by the cold water. He couldn't help but slapped smartly, and kept spitting water out of his mouth, "Out... water out!"
As he shouted, the people around were in an uproar.
Actually... lead the water directly to the door of the house
Doesn't this mean that they no longer have to travel far to fetch water?
No matter how you look at it, the white water is not real.
"With this water, we can make dried tofu much faster."
The water for making tofu in Xujia Village is picked up bucket by bucket, and many people are arranged to carry it every day.
Xu Changsheng smiled. One of the purposes of science is not to save labor.
Xu Changsheng raised his head, "This...is called tap water."
Everyone froze for a moment, then nodded, it wasn't just tap water, but the water would come by itself after a twist, it was amazing, and only Xujia Village had such a convenient thing.
The atmosphere was full of joy, and the atmosphere became a lot more lively. Everyone curiously tried the water, especially a group of children, who were going crazy.
Xu Changsheng looked at the people surrounding him and said, "Go back quickly and try to see if the tap water in front of your house is running. If there is any problem, we will solve it as soon as possible."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they realized what they were fighting around here for. There was running water at their door, so they had to go back and try it.
Especially a group of children, those who yelled "ahh" started to rush.
A group of adults looked cheerfully. In the past, their children were yellow and thin, and their spirits were not very good, but now look at them, they are as lively as monkeys. Which parents don’t want their children to live a healthy and happy life, watching I can't be happy with this scene.
"Chang Chang Sheng, we have water in our house, tap water."
The voice of a child next to him called out.
Now that the air in the pipe has been expelled, the waiting time will not be so long.
"Chang Chang Sheng, we also have water in our house."
Another child's voice came.
A group of children ran from house to house like a whirlwind, and started yelling when the water came out.
I never get tired of it, and I didn't lose interest at all because I watched it again and again.
It was only after running through the five hundred households in Xujia Village that he stopped for a while.
It is also thanks to the fact that they have now planned the houses in Xujia Village together, and the distance has been greatly shortened, otherwise they would have to lie down a few times.
It's very lively, tell everyone.
Because it is the water from the lake, and the water from the lake is in the mountains, which is composed of rainwater and groundwater.
So the water quality is very good, slightly colder than normal water.
Xu Changsheng took a sip, it was still a little sweet, it smelled like mountain spring.
Thanks to the fact that the water in ancient times was not polluted, it is so sweet.
In ancient times, everyone basically drank cold water, so they didn't pay much attention to it. In addition, the unpolluted water source may be better than the modern water source that does not know where to draw it, and then treat it through various methods and drugs. Be clean.
At least for Xu Changsheng, the taste of this water is better than the taste of modern tap water, not at 01:30, let alone the taste of tap water.
Of course, water pipes are not only available at the door of every household, for example, there are also one at intervals beside the road, which is for the convenience of watering the green belt.
It is much more convenient to wash the road surface every once in a while. He knows that these people in Xujia Village love to protect these roads now, and they will wash the section of the road that they are responsible for every once in a while. The road to my house is dirty, and I will be made fun of if I don't clean it.
There is also the problem of hot water from the fire kiln. There is a special pipe connection, but it is not possible to install hot water pipes at the door of every household. We have to install a few places to receive water in one street, and then people take buckets to go Then, the distance is not far.
It is a hot day now, and the demand for hot water is not particularly large. In winter, it is estimated that more hot water will be burned to meet the needs of [-] households.
There was cold water and hot water again, and the eyes of the people in Xujia Village rolled with smiles, not only finding it magical but also convenient.
Some members of the Xu family who were still busy were stunned when they came home after work and saw the children who were picking up water at the door.
The brat deliberately turned the faucet switch, raised his head, and asked, "Father, do you know what this is?"
But they can't be killed by western style.
But Changsheng said to save water, they always put the buckets under the pipes, and reconnect the buckets of water when they are used up, which is a joy.
"Father, I'll get you hot water for a bath later."
The children in Xujia Village today are extremely well-behaved, in fact, they just want to fetch water and play.
Xu Changsheng really couldn't understand where the fun was, probably because he wasn't really a child in his heart.
The tap water system in Xujia Village is considered to be in operation.
Xu Changsheng ran back to his house. To be honest, he hadn't lived in his new house yet.
When he went to Chang'an, because the thatched house was demolished and the house was still being repaired, he lived in the house of his great-grandfather, who had a lot of rooms anyway.
Now running back to his new home, he couldn't help but be taken aback when he entered the door.
Originally, he thought that his home should be extremely empty, but he didn't expect that the furniture was already full, and all of them were brand new, probably never used.
Brother Changbai just ran over at this time, "Changsheng, my mother told you to come over for dinner later."
Xu Changsheng nodded, then pointed to the furniture at home, "Grandpa bought it for me?"
Brother Changbai shook his head, "Uncle Sixteen did all of them, and our Uncle Sixteen also made a lot of them."
Uncle Sixteen's workmanship is really good, the furniture is basically made of wood and looks very beautiful.
I heard that Uncle Sixteen retired from the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty before. It seems that he is indeed skilled. Compared with modern furniture, it is more tasteful. These are all handmade products.
Of course, these furniture are all in the style of the Tang Dynasty, a bit similar to tatami mats, relatively short, and have a special flavor.
"Why didn't I see Uncle Sixteen make furniture for everyone before?" Xu Changsheng asked.
Brother Changbai replied, "Where do you put the thatched cottage?"
Xu Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, it was indeed the reason.
Xu Changsheng ran upstairs and downstairs in his own house, he didn't have to worry about it at all, he could just live in it, everything was complete.
Brother Changbai also ran up and down the stairs, thinking that the stairs are very interesting. I probably haven't seen the unified design of the S-line spiraling up the stairs.
Xu Changsheng nodded his head. Later, he is going to get a refrigerator and put some popsicles, cola and herbal tea. This is the real life.
……
In the next few days, Xu Changsheng felt a lot more relaxed.
"Changsheng, let's feed the chickens, are you going?" A large group of children came running to him with pots of bean dregs.
To be honest, this kind of country life was something Xu Changsheng never dared to think about in his whole life, it was leisurely and carefree.
He replied, "Okay."
He also wanted to see how their chickens were doing.
When you come to the back mountain, there are all over the mountains and plains, just like following a zoo.
The point is that when a group of chickens saw the child carrying the basin, they ran to this side in a hurry.
Some fierce ones pecked directly into the basin, making a group of children scream, "It's so fierce."
Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up. When he left, he was still a chick.
But now, it costs two catties, especially for some big roosters, it is estimated that there are three catties.
Xu Changsheng's saliva almost flowed out, what a chicken, what a chicken.
Running all over the mountains, he must be a good athlete. Chicken must be particularly delicious. Unlike modern chickens, most of them are raised in factories. The range of movement is less than half a meter. The key is that they are all injected with hormones, and they can grow in a month or two Three or four catties.
Not to mention whether chickens that have been given hormones can be eaten, as far as the taste is concerned, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.
Xu Changsheng took a look at the ones that had grown too big, and they would be stewed in two days, so he could be counted as keeping the flowers blooming and seeing the moonlight.
A group of children sprinkled bean dregs on the ground, spreading them all the way, trying to spread as much as possible, otherwise the ones behind would not be able to eat them.
Xu Changsheng took a look, and there was a lot of hay piled up beside him, this is it?
"Changsheng, my mother said that the hens are about to lay eggs, so they are piled up to let them lay eggs."
Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up, counting the time, it was indeed almost there, and he would have free-range eggs to eat from now on.
Now he has milk to drink, chicken to eat, and free-range eggs. His small body should be able to make up for it.
Well, Black and White Flower was brought back to Xujia Village by him, the purpose, self-evident, he wanted to drink fresh milk.
After feeding the chickens, I ran to see the pigs.
Pigs are not fed with their children, because the amount of feeding is a bit large.
Seeing the densely packed pigs in the mountains, Xu Changsheng was also shocked. How much did the great grandfather buy?
He asked Brother Changbai next to him.
Brother Changbai also shook his head, "I don't know how much you bought. Didn't you ask grandpa to buy more pigs, and the bean dregs that the chickens couldn't finish were all used to feed the pigs."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
He just wanted to raise some pigs for Xujia Village to eat for himself, now it seems...
The fat heads and big ears of each pig were completely different from what they saw when they watched the slaughter of pigs.
At the beginning, people in Xujia Village felt that it was a pity to see so many pigs eating. They might as well raise more chickens and eat less chickens.
But watching these pigs grow fat day by day, as if they couldn't bear it, if they didn't know that Xu Changsheng said that the pigs they raised were fatter than other people's, they would have thought that something strange had happened.
Seeing that the pig is so fat, I don't feel sorry for the bean dregs anymore. I laughed so hard that my mouth split open, and I fed it hard every day.
Xu Changsheng calculated the time, such fat pigs could actually be killed and eaten, especially the overly fat pigs, which would weigh two hundred catties no matter what.
After thinking about it, he once said that he wanted to let the people of Chang'an know why he castrated pigs to raise them. Just wait until the fifth day of August, so let's kill some fat pigs. Xuanxue becomes a pig slaughtering conference?It must be interesting.
He found that his life suddenly became very beautiful and enjoyable.
This is the result of half a year of hard work.
These pigs were raised with hard work in their Xujia Village, and they certainly couldn't be provided to others for free.
As soon as his eyes moved, he planned to plan a pedestrian street as a commercial street. Anyway, the building has two floors, and the first floor can be used for business.
And the first business starts from the restaurant.
He has to go back and teach his uncles how to cook pork, their pork is not fishy.
First of all, tamales must be indispensable, and the bean dregs they squeezed for oil can also be used to make bean flour.
Then there is pig's trotter flower, which is a perfect match with bean curd.
Then there are twice-cooked pork, fried pork, fatty intestines, Maoxuewang, pork liver soup...
Talking about how to eat pork, he couldn't hold it anymore. The whole body of a pig is full of treasures. People in the Tang Dynasty still despised it. He had to ask them to reverse this point of view.
After Xu Changsheng finished watching a mountain of pigs, he ran back to realize his great plan.
At this time, Chang'an is also waiting eagerly, and some people are even preparing to go to Xujia Village, because the time is getting closer.
Until a heavy rain washes over the earth, it seems that the heat has been washed away a lot
After the rain, the sky is sunny, and the fifth day of August has arrived.
On this day, it was still daylight, and countless people were already waiting at the gate of Chang'an, and the excitement was comparable to the New Year's Eve.
A row of guards suddenly rushed in at the originally crowded doorway.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then reacted immediately.
This is His Majesty's ride.
His Majesty is going out of the city so early, isn't he also going to Xujia Village?
They guessed right. His Majesty Li Er really went to Xujia Village. He just thought that the horse that didn't eat grass was miraculous, but Fei Tian, even the emperor couldn't resist this temptation.
Xu Changsheng wrote an invitation to him, and of course the crown prince handed it over directly, otherwise he would follow the normal process, and he didn't know when it would be.
He just used the excuse of "I am a talented man from the Tang Dynasty who invited me so kindly, why not go?"
All the ministers looked at each other in dismay at that time, thinking that His Majesty didn't go to escape the summer heat this summer because of the inexhaustible ice cubes.
Now that His Majesty has said it, is there any reason not to go, how can these ministers not go?
So the team is a little bigger.
With Li Shimin's driving, the gate of the city was opened, and the driving was all the way through.
Then the people in Chang'an discovered that after His Majesty went out, there was still a long queue behind him.
Looking at each other, is this all civil and military officials traveling together?
They didn't think too much.
In the past, when the emperor went out to escape the summer heat, he took only a few people with him, and most of the officials had to be kept in the court to maintain the operation, but this time it was different, because Xujia Village was only half a day away from Chang'an, so it would be fine for them to follow.
Behind Li Erxing's car is the car of Empress Changsun. It is boring for her to stay in the palace all year round, and the gardenias she likes come from Xujia Village. Such a nice flower to come.
Then there is the crown prince Li Chengqian, who is not much of a surprise in everyone's mind. Who doesn't know that the crown prince and the Xu family have a good relationship, even if His Majesty and the empress do not go, he will go to support the Xu family.
There is also a group of Li Er's princes and princesses at the back. The princes are headed by Li Tai, the little fat man, followed by Li Ke, Li Yin, Li Shen, Li Fu, etc. Of course, they are all taken care of by special personnel.
The princesses are headed by Princess Changle, followed by Baling, Jin'an, Gaoyang and so on.
This group of princes and princesses are also bored. They stayed in the palace before they became adults or before they got married. Every year, Li Shimin followed Li Shimin when he went out to escape the summer heat, but this year he will not escape the summer heat, so they will not let go of this opportunity to travel. passed.
Then there is a group of ministers.
Behind the minister is the doctor of the Imperial College.
The people in Chang'an were all amazed, this trip is really unprecedented, isn't it?
Look at this battle.
Because all the people traveling are important people, so there are many more guards for protection.
The common people in Chang'an also followed the team, and from time to time, literati and refined scholars recited poems and argued against each other. Before they even arrived at Xujia Village, the atmosphere became lively.
Li Shimin also smiled, is he having fun with the people?
This feeling was actually pretty good, and even made him enjoy it a bit. He couldn't help but lift the curtain of the sedan chair and ask Eunuch Pang De who was following him, "Is it true that I am very close to the people?"
Eunuch Pound didn't know Li Er's careful thinking, and said, "Your Majesty enjoys the joy with the people, and it should be a good story."
This is not the reason, they are going to participate in missions, which is equivalent to modern academic seminars, and they are not just for pleasure, which is fundamentally different from the kind of trips that cost people and money in the previous dynasty.
Of course, Li Shimin still put on a serious face, "This matter is one thing."
It's just that every time Xujiacun held a scientific lecture, he would rush over and forget about it.
The joyful mood made them almost forget the increasingly uneven road under their feet, or maybe the people of Datang have long been used to this kind of potholed road.
It is getting closer and closer to Xujia Village.
You can even see people from Xujia Village coming out to greet them from a distance.
Your Majesty's trip to Xujia Village, such a major event, has long been reported to Xujia Village.
What an honor for a family. All the people in Xujia Village took a hot bath early in the morning, combed their hair meticulously, put on new clothes and shoes, and came to welcome St. drive.
The leader is the great grandfather Xu Wenyuan, and behind him is Xu Changsheng who is wearing a scholarly robe.
When Li Shimin's team came, Xu Changsheng was surprised. This battle must be too big. Look at the endless crowd, how many people are there, and he will have to kill a few more pigs in the village later, otherwise it will not be enough Sell.
These people came from Chang'an, even if they brought food, they would definitely eat in Xujia Village.
As the team approached, the sedan chairs of Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian sped up their pace a little, and they joined Li Er.
The sedan chair stopped, and the three got out of the sedan chair.
There were too many people in Xujia Village, standing there blocked the view of Xujia Village.
Li Shimin looked at Xu Wenyuan, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional, how many years has it been?
At the beginning, the great Confucian who sneered at him and scolded him in front of the civil and military courts and the world is still standing proudly and straight in front of him.
Xu Wenyuan was also a little emotional. He had a heart of mortals and scolded the emperor in front of everyone.
After so many years, he has seen every move of this emperor, except that he took this position regardless of his blood and family, he is indeed a good emperor, at least he is very good to the people of the world.
Xu Wenyuan sighed and walked up, "Xu Wenyuan led the Xu family to greet His Majesty...!"
His Majesty's ability to come here already explains a lot of things, so why should he be obsessed with the past.
Li Shimin also sighed, and said, "Mr. Xu doesn't need to be too polite. Speaking of which, I heard Mr. Xu's lectures when I was in the Imperial College."
Xu Wenyuan was taken aback, it turned out that His Majesty... still remembers.
How could he not remember that high-spirited young man back then.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Yes, speaking of it, His Majesty can be regarded as Mr. Xu's student, and now Mr. Xu has cultivated such amazing and brilliant talents as Changsheng. In terms of educating people, I am afraid that people in the world will not be able to understand them." It’s hard to get around.”
After finishing speaking, he said, "Chengqian, come to meet Mr. Xu."
Li Chengqian stepped forward and gave a student salute, "I have met Mr. Xu."
So, what else can Xu Wenyuan say?Today's princes are all disciples.
Xu Changsheng blinked his eyes in the back, this family is very powerful, even if his great grandfather had a problem in his heart, he probably has solved it now.
Xu Changsheng took a step forward, "Grandfather, let Your Majesty and Your Majesty enter Xujia Village first."
Grandfather Xu Wenyuan nodded, "Please, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin nodded.
Empress Changsun also said, "I've been thinking all the way, what kind of outstanding people Xujia Village is, but now I have to take a good look at it."
Xu Wenyuan was taken aback for a moment, and he straightened his back even more, "Please."
Get out of the way, let Li Er and the others walk in front.
The people in Xujia Village in front also spread out to both sides, making way for them.
Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, and Li Chengqian were about to move forward, but when they raised their heads, they couldn't move no matter what.
I couldn't be more surprised, and thanks to the fact that they have seen all kinds of big scenes, the expression on their faces flashed past.
But Xu Changsheng happened to see that expression, and thought, if he had a camera, he could take a picture of the expression just now, and then add the three words "Shocked Emperor", it must be very appropriate.
Could the three of Li Shimin not be surprised?
What exactly are they seeing?
It was a flower stand made of fresh flowers, a very huge flower stand.
The red roses on the flower bed form a row of characters, "science", "progress" and "wealth".
Then on the top, there are three characters "Xujiacun", which are also composed of roses, but the characters are bigger.
On the flower stand, other places are full of white gardenias, so the red rose is particularly eye-catching.
Xu Changsheng was amused. In fact, it is a kind of flower art that is widely used in modern times. In a slightly larger industrial area, school, etc., which gate is not beautifully piled up with such flowers? This thing is his. Came out of work in two days.
This is the gate, the entrance, of Xujia Village.
Li Shimin and others were really shocked. This is too beautiful, too beautiful, and too macroscopic.
Especially Empress Changsun, she likes her potted flowers so much, and looking at the scene in front of her, it's nothing short of a big deal.
Li Chengqian was also taken aback, and then glanced at Xu Changsheng. Xu Changsheng was smiling like a little fox, with stars in his eyes, and he couldn't ignore his complacency.
"Your Majesty, please." Grandfather Xu Wenyuan shouted again.
Only then did the three of Li Shimin come to their senses, their faces were a little embarrassed, they must have looked silly just now, and they didn't know if they were seen or not, their image, image, probably disappeared.
He coughed, and walked forward pretending to be nonchalant, but he couldn't take his eyes off the flower stand in front of him. Science is progressing and prosperity. Is this Xujia Village?
After the three of Li Shimin left, there were exclamations from behind. They had never seen such a shocking thing.
The three of them glanced at each other, look, they are relatively stable, and the people behind them are even more ignorant.
The people in the surrounding Xujia Village all straightened their backs. This is their Xujia Village, but it's just the entrance. Let's see how surprised these Chang'an people are.
Well, in fact, they were more surprised than these Chang'an people before, even if they saw it now, they were still excited again, this is their Xujia Village!
The three of Li Shimin continued to take the lead, ignoring the embarrassing screaming voices behind, especially Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin's loud voice, which was really embarrassing.
The three of them thought in their hearts that even if they saw something miraculous later, they still had to hold on.
However, the three of them stopped again after bypassing the flower platform.
Looking at it at a glance, it is as flat as a jade belt and a long dragon.
It's so flat, it's unimaginably flat.
It is also wide enough for several batches of carriages to run on it.
Li Shimin has seen so many cities, but he has never seen such a smooth road.
There are also endless flowers dotted on both sides.
Is this a way?
When did Lu become so beautiful?
Aren't the roads full of potholes?Even the Suzaku Avenue in Chang'an is one of the best roads. It took a lot of effort to build the Suzaku Avenue before the stones were leveled and brought in.
But even so, there are still gaps in the connection between stones and stones, and it still looks a little bumpy.
But the road in front of him is as white as jade, without even a hole or a crack.
Can you not surprise him?
"This..." Li Shimin couldn't help asking.
The great grandfather smiled and said, "Please, Your Majesty, this is just a road."
What the hell, Li Shimin thought, he knows this is the road, but where can the road be built like this.
When I started to step on this white jade road, I still felt the feeling of my feet from time to time, and there was really no ups and downs at all.
Xu Changsheng followed behind, covering his mouth, his little face turned red from laughing, for fear of laughing out loud.
At this time, a hand rubbed his head.
