Chapter 1097 For Ah Weng
Jia Pingan took Li Jingye into the value room.
"Xiao Jia! What's the matter?" Yan Liben looked vigilant.
Li Jingye said in a low voice: "Why does it seem that there is something to talk about, and you mean to leave quickly, brother, have you offended him?"
hehe!
Jia Pingan shook his head slightly, sat down and asked, "Where's the good tea?"
You shameless!
Yan Liben was about to be rewarded with a few catties of good tea by the emperor, and Jia Pingan followed him.
"Make tea."
Li Jingye looked at the two cups of tea, Jia Pingan took a sip and said with a smile: "I finally feel relieved."
Yan Liben asked: "How do you say that?"
Jia Ping'an said: "This tea is not as good as the best in Jia's."
Yan Liben's nose was about to crooked from anger.
"Yan Gong, I will give you two catties later."
Yan Liben smiled, "Xiao Jia is not bad."
Jia Pingan put down his teacup, "Mr. Yan, is there any progress in the steel you made back then?"
Yan Liben asked back, "But does His Majesty want to use it?"
Jia Pingan shook his head, "I'm just looking for steel with good toughness."
Yan Liben said vigilantly: "It's a secret of our Ministry of Industry, and even the prime ministers don't know about it."
Your sister!
Jia Pingan waved his hand, "Jingye, you go out first."
Li Jingye picked up his teacup and drank it in one gulp, clenched his fists and asked, "Brother, do you want to do it?"
Yan Liben was furious, Jia Pingan smiled bitterly, "You go out first."
Li Jingye went outside.
A little official stood outside, the two looked at each other, and the little official walked back calmly.
"Must give!"
"Why?"
"If it weren't for my advice back then, would the Ministry of Industry be able to produce this level of steel? Mr. Yan, don't forget to dig wells for water!"
"That's classified!"
"Fuck!"
A quarrel erupted inside, and Jia Ping'an even spoke obscenities.
"Even if that thing is thrown to Tubo, their craftsmen can't crack it!"
"..."
"give or not?"
"Don't blame me for being stingy if you don't learn something good when you go back and learn something new."
"What do you mean? Xiao Jia, you have something to say, something to say!"
"Here, isn't it okay for the old man to give it to you?"
"It's good to be this early, I have to pick."
Yan Liben is known as the number one ruler of the Tang Dynasty, and this is his ability to rely on.
The father and son of the Yan family are all master builders and geniuses. They have been in charge of the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty for many years.
But today he bowed his head.
He also humbly tried to persuade Jia Pingan to stay.
That little official looked like he had seen a ghost.
Li Jingye took it for granted.
Jia Pingan came out, "Let's go."
The two then went to a workshop.
As soon as I entered, I saw many large cars, including semi-finished products and finished products.
The steward of the workshop introduced: "Whenever the troops are mobilized, a lot of carts are produced in the court to transport supplies. Most of those carts are built here."
Jia Pingan took Li Jingye to experience it.
“Rough and durable.”
After Li Jingye was overwhelmed, the steward explained it.
"It's not a good way to transport luggage. If you get that kind of exquisite cart... it's comfortable, but it's not forbidden!"
This is why military materials are rough but durable.
Li Jingye shook his head, "This can't work, Ah Weng can't stand it."
Jia Pingan called the steward over.
"I need to build a great car, better than the Yangs."
The steward looked distressed, "The carriage designed by the Yang family is exquisite, so there is less vibration. We can learn it, but we can't afford to lose this man."
There is no such thing as intellectual property rights at this time, but as a craftsman, he will not imitate others.
"Who said you want to learn from the Yang family?"
Jia Pingan smiled, "I can't imitate others when I make a move."
He turned back and said, "I asked you earlier if you could endure hardship, and you said yes. So from now on, you will stay here and build a carriage with these craftsmen."
Li Jingye asked: "How to build?"
The big cars here are all examples of stupid, big, black and thick, durable, but the vibration is not small.
Jia Ping'an didn't speak.
Not long after, a few big men came.
"Meet the Duke."
"Where's the stuff?"
"Outside in the carriage."
"move in."
Puff puff!
More than a dozen steel plates were thrown on the ground.
The stewards and craftsmen were stunned.
"This is shock absorption..."
Jia Pingan saw that everyone was still puzzled, so he asked for a pen and paper.
He drew a sketch.
Immediately the artisans exploded.
"This kind of idea is wonderful, but how long can this iron plate last?"
"Try."
This is just a modification.
Jia Pingan left Li Jingye in the workshop, but his family slipped away.
I had no choice but to slip away, Xincheng said something was up.
The weather is cool, and Xincheng wears thin clothes.
When Jia Pingan entered the backyard, he saw the new city sideways facing him at the first sight.
Thin dress, the sun shines from the side...
nice!
This woman's skin is white and glowing. Jia Ping'an has been wondering whether the whiteness only extends to the hands and face, or...spread all the way.
Light a lamp at night, tsk tsk!
"Xiao Jia."
Xincheng turned around gracefully.
"Princess looked cleared."
What Master Jia is most afraid of now is that Xincheng will make some demands that he cannot meet.
Xincheng's beautiful eyes moved slightly, "A lot of women from the clan have come here recently, and they all said that they want to find a son-in-law for me..."
Why are you telling me this?
Could it be... who do you fancy?
A woman so white and shining!
The best thing to do at this time is to be silent.
Silence is gold.
See what you want to say next.
Xincheng glanced at him, with a little coquettishness in her beautiful eyes.
Damn it!
This woman is becoming more and more feminine.
Just one glance made Jia Ping'an's heart tremble slightly.
But be firm!
Jia Ping'an remained silent.
Sure enough, Xiao Jia is my friend.
Am I not good enough?
Xincheng thought about his body after bathing earlier.
The white jade-like skin is extremely delicate, and there is... a place where it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side.
In the past, when she went out, occasionally when she didn't wear a hat, those men would look at her face blankly for a moment, and some would even be in a daze for a long time.
But Xiao Jia's eyes are clear, without the obsession and wretchedness of such a man.
He really is a gentleman!
Jia Ping'an took a few glances at her, and then she understood something.
Xincheng, this is... What does that mean?
Jia Pingan glanced at Xincheng calmly.
Xincheng's eyes flickered at this moment, and his cheeks were slightly flushed, as if he was slightly drunk.
Jia Pingan said: "But you are young and handsome?"
Xincheng lowered his head slightly, "I don't know, I forgot."
First tell me that someone wants to go on a blind date for you, and then say that I forgot... This is clearly a gesture.
But this posture is not easy to determine.
And with Gao Yang at his side, if the new city is captured, will the emperor vomit blood?
My sisters have all become your women!
Jia Ping'an's heart moved slightly, "Forget it, it can be seen that you can't be tempted. What kind of man does Xincheng like?"
Xincheng raised his eyes, showing a little shyness in his eyes.
Small white flowers are blooming.
"I..." Xincheng glanced at Jia Pingan, "I don't know either."
Little Baihua is really shy!
It is impossible for her to tell the template of the man she likes according to Master Jia's appearance, even for women of later generations.
Jia Pingan coughed dryly, "Don't worry."
Huang Shu was silent on the side, but said at this moment: "The princess is not young anymore."
"The princess is still a flower." Looking at the delicate flower in front of him, Jia Pingan thought of Xu Xiaoyu's inexplicable excitement earlier.
Xincheng whispered: "Those people said...it will be too late if you don't find a son-in-law."
"Bullshit!"
Jia Pingan glanced at Huang Shu, "Xu Xiaoyu might make a fuss outside, so please go and take a look."
Huang Shu exploded.
"Xu Xiaoyu?"
Jia Pingan felt that she was too excited.
Huang Shu said: "I still have to..."
Xincheng glanced at her.
Huang Shu changed her words, "I'll go now, slave."
Princess, you have to be steady!
Huang Shu felt a little panicked.
Xincheng is the emperor's own sister, whom she loves the most. It stands to reason that Xincheng's son-in-law is not difficult to find, in fact it is not difficult to find. In other words, in recent years, there have been countless people who have introduced consorts to Xincheng, and even the emperor and empress were worried about it.
But Xincheng always shirks, saying that he is weak and sick, and worried that he will drag others down. Or say that you have a bad temper and are afraid of hurting others.
There are all kinds of reasons!
In Huang Shu's view, it is just one sentence: I don't want to find a son-in-law!
Some people even said that Xincheng doesn't like men anymore.
Huang Shu also had some such thoughts at the beginning, but after seeing that Master Jia was able to enter the hall, she felt that it was not.
Every time Master Jia comes, the princess always changes clothes with a little excitement. For example, today, the princess was wearing a not-so-thin dress, but when she heard that Master Jia was coming, she immediately went in and changed into a thin dress.
Why!
How does this not like the appearance of men?
But Jia Pingan has a wife!
And he is also the man of Princess Gaoyang.
The two sisters belonged to one man. Would the emperor vomit blood if he said it?
"Huang Shu!"
Huang Shu was stunned, seeing Xu Xiaoyu bragging with several guards of the princess mansion in the front yard, she walked over with a cold face.
Xu Xiaoyu winked at several guards, and in an instant, there were only two of them left here.
"What are you going to do?" Huang Shu said solemnly, "If you dare to do anything again, I will break your leg."
…
In the backyard, Xincheng walked in front, Jia Pingan was behind, and the two were walking in the small garden.
Xincheng said: "I went to the banquet that day, and someone mentioned Guan Long during the banquet, saying that it was difficult for those people to turn over, but someone tried to show their favor to the gentry."
Guan Long showed favor to the gentry?
Jia Pingan said: "When Guan Long was rampant, the gentry could only bow their heads and maintain their aloofness. Now that Guan Long has fallen, the gentry have turned around..."
He glanced at Xincheng's waist, just as Xincheng looked back, seeing the direction of his gaze, his eyes were full of shyness.
"However, the gentry have always looked down on the Guanlongmen Clan, saying that they are warriors who only know how to fight and kill, but they don't understand the way of governing the country..."
Pull a few eggs!
Jia Pingan said disdainfully: "This is nonsense!"
Xincheng turned around and asked coquettishly, "Don't you think something's wrong?"
There is a history of the gentry looking down on Guan Long and these warriors. Even when Li Yuan established the country and the Li family became the royal family, the gentry still looked down on the old Li family. why? It's all because Lao Li's family has no history of seeing people.
"The gentry said that their families have passed on for hundreds of years, and their poems, books, and classics have been passed down from generation to generation. They have high crowns and belts, and they are personable..."
The more Xincheng talked, the more confident he became. He felt that his family was really inferior to the gentry.
"Emperor Gaozu wanted to show favor to the gentry back then, but they kept a respectful distance from the royal family. It was the same when the first emperors were still indifferent."
This is a historical fact.
Many people don't know the power of the gentry in this era...
"They have been the masters of this land since the Han Dynasty." Of course Jia Pingan knew this, "But why do you want to see the history and fame of the family?"
"Don't you want to see?" Xincheng's red lips moved slightly.
Jia Ping'an smiled, "The longer the inheritance, the more difficult it is to see the family."
The family of saints has been passed down for a long time, but it is only enshrined as a statue, as a spiritual symbol of Confucianism.
Thieves come to demote thieves, officials come to demote officials, this is what these families are best at.
"It depends on their abilities." Jia Ping'an didn't like the atmosphere where family backgrounds were inexplicably judged, "The gentry gradually became powerful at the end of the Han Dynasty, and then the gentry almost covered the sky with one hand in the early Jin Dynasty... But Xincheng, have you thought about a Is there a problem?"
Xincheng looked up at him, "What?"
Jia Pingan said: "In the years when the gentry prospered, did the Central Plains become stable and strong, or did it decline?"
Xincheng said: "It has declined."
Jia Pingan said: "That is to say, in the era when the gentry was in power, the family and the country were sinking."
Xincheng nodded.
The end of Han Dynasty can be called **** on earth, while the former Jin Dynasty can be said to be extremely useless and incompetent to the extreme.
Jia Pingan asked: "The era of the rise of the gentry is the era of the decline of the Central Plains. Don't you understand? The gentry is a cancer! Since the end of the Han Dynasty, they have been pretending to be gods, but what have they brought to the world? War, chaos, Useless!"
Jia Pingan really didn't understand, "Why are these families highly respected? Is it just because their so-called inheritance is long enough? The longer the inheritance, the more serious the disaster."
Xincheng was stunned for a moment.
No one has ever analyzed the gentry from this perspective.
"What kind of Confucianism, what kind of family knowledge is profound, but what comes out is a group of scourges, what is the use of such Confucianism and family learning?"
Jia Ping'an laughed and said, "I really don't know what to do with it!"
Xincheng was shocked, "Yes! What's the use of coming? If the gentry were in charge of the government again, then this Great Tang..."
"It's dangerous." Jia Pingan said: "That's why Your Majesty will continue to weaken the nobles, and you will not hesitate to turn your face for this!"
Later, Ajie also continued this policy until she left. Li Longji came to power, the nobles were reused, and then there was the bottomless abyss.
Xincheng’s beautiful eyes lit up, "Yes! Many people outside say that it is unwise for the emperor to be hostile to the gentry. If you say what you said, Xiao Jia, will those people have something to say?"
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, feeling that she had found a sharp weapon for the emperor.
"I hosted a banquet and invited those people to come and tell the story."
"Not yet!"
At this moment, the gentry is staring at the school of Xinxue, and if such tricky angles are revealed, the gentry can tie the villains of Xincheng.
The lack of knowledge in this era is so incomprehensible to future generations, that's why the gentry who have maintained the inheritance of Confucian classics are so admirable.
That's why Emperor Taizong ordered Kong Yingda and others to compile the Five Classics of Justice, just to grab the right to speak about learning from the hands of the gentry, but it was still useless.
The gentry is still a gentry who looks like a god.
They still look down on the royal family and the people of the world.
Xincheng also thought about it, "Then I will enter the palace, um..." She looked at Jia Pingan, "Maybe you said what I said?"
Xiao Baihua is really considerate!
"It doesn't matter, His Majesty can probably guess it."
Xincheng smiled and said, "Then I'll go now."
As soon as she turned around, her foot slipped...
Jia Pingan subconsciously stretched out his arms to wrap around Xincheng's waist.
The two of them stood there dumbfounded.
It feels really good!
Xincheng's face was blood red, and his voice was as small as a mosquito, "You...you..."
Jia Pingan let go of his hand, and said solemnly: "Be careful next time."
…
"Your Majesty, Princess Xincheng asks to see you."
The new city enters the palace.
The emperor and empress are all there, and there is also a prince, plus Taiping in Wu Mei's arms.
"Auntie!"
Taiping's voice is very passionate.
"Aniang is here!" Wu Mei smiled very gently.
"Aye!" Taiping shouted at the top of his voice.
Li Zhi's brows and eyes were gentle, "Aye is here."
Li Hong sat on the side, feeling that he must be an adopted child.
"Call Auntie!"
Wu Mei pointed to Xincheng and said.
"Cuckoo..." Taiping struggled to get off the ground.
Li Zhi laughed; "Look at this child, he is so cute!"
Xincheng teased Taiping for a while, and then got down to business.
"...If the gentry is good and capable, why has the Central Plains been in decline from the end of the Han Dynasty to the fall of the Front Jin Dynasty?"
The emperor and empress looked at each other in surprise.
"Xincheng's words are interesting." Li Zhi said: "I never thought about it like this before. But the gentry is not just a family of Confucian classics, and more importantly, the gentry has a strong group."
The so-called inheritance of Confucian classics is only a foundation, but the foundation of the gentry's establishment is to form a group with each other and share weal and woe.
Li Hong said: "Aye, so Li Yifu's proposal to forbid intermarriage among the gentry was to break them up?"
Li Zhi nodded, "Yes, but they won't pay attention."
He praised: "Everyone in the world is in awe of the gentry. I am very pleased that you can see this in Xincheng."
Xincheng bit his red lip, wanting to say that Master Jia said it, but felt that it should not be said.
The Emperor also knows this truth, so it won't do Xiao Jia any good if I say it.
Huh!
Xiao Jia said at the time that it didn't matter, which meant that he knew the emperor had seen through the details of the gentry, but I was dazed at the time and didn't notice his abnormality.
Why am I dizzy?
Xincheng couldn't help being annoyed.
Walking in the palace, she suddenly stopped.
The servant in front stopped and turned around, and said with a smile, "Princess..."
Xincheng asked: "I heard that Zhao Guogong is domineering, but is that so?"
The waiter said: "No! Duke Zhao is very kind. The prime ministers are all indifferent... The servants have made a slip of the tongue."
The servants should not express their views on the ministers.
Xincheng nodded, "I see."
…
Li Jingye has never felt so tired.
Remove the frame, and then the craftsman instructed him to install the newly made frame, which has a protruding part that can hold the steel block.
"Try!"
The craftsman drove the cart on the test road of the workshop.
Snapped!
"Gannie Niang!"
The craftsman scolded: "It's too thin to withstand the impact of the steel plate. Make it thicker!"
After another modification, Li Jingye climbed out of the car exhaustedly.
The craftsman was a little guilty at first, worried that he would offend the British Duke.
But Zhao Guogong’s servants who stayed here stared at Li Jingye meticulously, and whenever he was impatient or wanted to pick someone up, the servants would point it out.
"My lord is here!"
Li Jingye, who was lying on the ground pretending to be a dead dog, jumped up, "Where is brother?"
Jia Ping'an didn't come.
Li Jingye supported the ground with one hand and said, "For Ah Weng!"
He stood up and asked: "What else do you need to do, tell me!"
…
Good night!
