Chapter 12 Entering the Palace
Yuan Ling was not unaware of Qi Xiang and others' mentality, but he just didn't care. The prejudices in people's hearts would not be easily eliminated. As long as they took their own money and did things attentively, everything would be easy to talk to. They clapped their hands and attracted everyone's attention and said, "Everyone, today the barrel car was successful, we have taken the first step!"
His words caused a lot of suspicion.
first step?
What does this mean?
Qi Xiang didn't dare to be arrogant now and said respectfully: "King Shang, what else is there to be shortcomings?"
Yuan Ling smiled and said, "It's not that there is any disadvantage. The water draw effect of this tube truck is far better than that of the water truck in the fields, and it does not require human override. It is very outstanding and can even be put into use. I mean, it needs to be re-planned, and under the premise of this unmanned tube truck, the second type of animal power tube truck, and of course the third type of high-rotary tube truck."
Qi Xiang and other carpenters looked confused and did not need manpower. Using the power of water is the biggest advantage of this trolley. Now, we are doing the opposite, what kind of animal trolley? Human trolley?
Yuan Ling patiently explained: "As the capital of Chang'an, surrounded by eight waters, and supplies in five canals, the water resources are abundant."
When Yuan Ling said this, he showed a sense of respect. Only by understanding this line can he truly feel how great the wisdom of the ancients was.
As the number one giant city in world history, the heart of the earth, the first metropolis with a population of more than one million.
The pressure on the water supply and drainage terrain of the entire city of Chang'an in Tang was extremely huge, but there was no slight mess here, and the entire structural layout completely withstood this test.
This shows how amazing Yuwen Kai, who planned this city at the beginning, was.
You should know that in the West, whether it was the ancient Rome before or later Constantinople, or Baghdad, these western centers, far from being able to do this.
"The pond in our mansion connects to the Qingming Canal, which is the main road that runs through the water source of the entire mansion. Although it flows smoothly, the undercurrents inside are surging, the power is not weak, and it is more than enough to push this trolley. However, our territories are vast, and there are many places where water resources are not that rich, and there may even be harsh conditions such as drought and low-lying. In this environment, the power of some water is not enough to push the trolley. At this time, animal power and human resources are needed to enhance the power in order to better draw water."
He said, looking at everyone solemnly, saying, "The real tumbler is not a icing on the cake, but a timely help. It cannot be limited to places with abundant water resources to save manpower, but also to allow those places with difficult water to draw water. This is a good deed that has benefited thousands of years. You will hope to go further and allow millions of people in the future to benefit and at the same time make their reputation."
Qi Xiang's hair and beard beating in excitement, and he said in a trembling voice: "I wish to die for Your Highness."
The rest of the world responded one after another, and their emotions were high, and they all seemed to be injected with chicken blood.
Yuan Ling smiled knowingly, and there was a small amount of sorrow in his heart.
Scholars, peasants, industry and commerce represent the ancient status class.
But in fact, the real status rating should be scholars, farmers, and workers. The so-called scholars, farmers, and workers are just talking about it.
Needless to say, the well-deserved number one has been like this throughout history.
Merchants said that their status was low, but they were rich. Even in ancient feudal ancient times, money could do whatever they wanted.
The most telling thing is Zheng Fengchi, the richest businessman in Chang'an, who was a brother to Emperor Gaozu of Tang Li Yuan.
Although not all businessmen are Zheng Fengchi, as long as they have a wealth of wealth in their pocket, their status will be different.
As a farming nation, even if the status of farmers is not high, no one will behave in the farmers for no reason.
However, the worker is different. He has a low status and is not valued by others. Some of the old men are stubborn and use strange and lewd skills to slander them.
Therefore, the vast majority of craftsmen are not successful. Only a small number of them are particularly outstanding and have special contributors can receive different treatments. As far as Ma Jun, Ding Yan, as close as Yuwen Kai, He Chou...
Most of the people in the mansion who can be moved by money and recruited Yuanling have their own names and abilities, but they have not obtained corresponding status.
This car has such a prospect. Whoever makes a decisive contribution will be successful and fame.
Before, they were moved by interests, but now Yuan Ling believes that even if he doesn't give them wages and drives them away, they will stay with shamelessness.
As a later generation, Yuan Ling knew that industry was the key to development and progress. He thought about his current identity and said that if he had the opportunity, he had to mention the status of workers, which might promote the course of history and prevent the West from beginning the industrial revolution in a thousand years later. China, which has been at the forefront of the world, also caused a joke of Yelang's arrogance due to the incompetence and self-confidence of the Qing government.
After clearing his throat, Yuan Ling said, "It's not for me, but for Your Majesty, and for the people of the world. I will report everything about the trolley truthfully and make our efforts work as soon as possible."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became more enthusiastic.
Yuanling's goal is not limited to the trolley. The main purpose is to enter the Ministry of Industry. He worked overtime on the same day to rewrite the information about the trolley.
This time it is no longer a concept drawing, but a drawing that has been made after experimentation and has been completed.
Yuan Ling first completed the compilation meticulously, then handed it over to Liu Qiner to write it, and finally checked it to show caution.
The next afternoon, Yuan Ling walked towards the palace not far away with the making drawings.
According to the memory in my mind, the morning was the time for Li Shimin to meet with the prime minister and censors to deal with state affairs. If there is no major event, there will be a rest in the afternoon, and it will be appropriate to find him at this time.
With the status of a prince, Yuan Ling successfully entered the palace city.
According to convention, Li Shimin should rest in Wude Hall.
Wude Hall was the mansion where King Li Yuanji of Qi lived in his early years. In order to make his sons fall in love with each other, Li Yuan specially ordered his three sons to move into the palace to live. Li Jiancheng's East Palace, Li Shimin's Chengqian's Hall, and Li Yuanji's Wude Hall are nearby.
To go to Wude Hall, you must first pass through the Eastern Palace.
When passing by the gate of the East Palace, a man ran out of the East Palace quickly and shouted enthusiastically: "King Shang, Your Highness Shang!"
Yuan Ling couldn't help but stop his steps, looked at the person who was coming, his brows frowned slightly, the person who looked familiar, and his bearded looked majestic at first glance, but he searched for the memories in his mind but had no unnecessary impression, with a little awkward confusion, and I don't know how to answer the conversation.
Zhang Sizheng stepped forward and said, "Zhang Sizheng, the head of the Eastern Palace guard, met His Highness the King of Shang."
Yuan Ling couldn't remember what Li Yuanai had to do with him, but behind the other party was Li Chengqian, who was a big man. Although the future of the Tang Dynasty did not belong to that big man, no one could shake his status except for him who was trying to die himself. He also greeted him politely: "Wait Zhang, please do it."
Zhang Sizheng showed great enthusiasm, as if their relationship was really very good: "If the Shang king doesn't go to the archway and enjoys his life, what should he do when he enters the palace?"
Yuan Ling kept a heart and said, "I will not bet anymore after your Majesty's advice. Today I entered the palace to talk to your Majesty." But I kept silent about what I said.
