Chapter 499 Life is really lonely as snow
The New Roman Empire, the Persian Empire, and Byzantium jointly launched a large-scale counterattack against the Black-clothed Dashi. Under the leadership of their new leader, the Black-clothed Dashi resisted the three attacks, and the two sides ended in a draw.
The situation is deadlocked again.
The merger war in Europe is still going on, and we need to work hard on our own black technology. The steam generator is running just fine, but the damage rate of some important components is still very high, and technological breakthroughs cannot be made and no substitutes can be found.
In mass production, only small parts can be processed. There are no standard parts specifications and mass production cannot be achieved. There is no place except steel workshops.
He also invests a lot of money in technology research and development every year. What makes Li Mingda happy is that the efficiency of the steel workshop has improved a lot due to the power of electricity. As for the cost, it is naturally not considered to pave the way for the future, but these are just small amounts of money.
Money.
I felt sorry for my wallet for a minute.
The Royal Bank has performed very well since it was established and operated. All shops in the area around Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty have begun to accept the new currency normally. According to market surveys, the current income and expenditure are good. Li Mingda also continues to increase the production of new coins.
Recycle old gold, silver, and copper coins.
It is worth mentioning that some people took advantage of the alternation between the new currency and the old currency to surreptitiously cheat and buy low and sell high and spread some false news to raise funds. They were caught by Jia Xu's secret guards. They followed the vines and caught the big watermelon.
, the number of vassal kings that his grandfather Li Yuan gave birth to because of disgusting old Li suddenly disappeared.
When Lao Li heard that he was a happy group, he asked the imperial kitchen to prepare two side dishes and drank a few drinks happily. He was so prosperous that he even wrote a few poems. After he finished writing, he went to show off to his daughter-in-law and eldest grandson.
After being appointed by Li Mingda as the president of the Women and Children's Rights and Interests Association of the Tang Dynasty, his mother-in-law paid no attention to him. The eldest grandson completely went silent on the protection of women and children's rights in the Tang Dynasty.
Lao Li, who was hot-faced but cold-butt, was naturally unwilling to give in. He walked around the palace and finally found Li Mingda, who was sitting in the royal study room.
Lao Li asked Li Mingda to drink with him. The hairy head of Xianyu Dixian naturally did not refuse. Li Mingda had a drinking capacity and she didn’t even know how much she could drink. The two of them drank one glass at a time and hadn’t eaten many skewers.
, Lao Li passed out from drinking.
Holding the wine glass, he watched Duan Hong and the young eunuch help Lao Li back. Li Mingda picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Life is really as lonely as snow~!"
He sent Lao Li back to the Li Zheng Hall, fed Lao Li a sobering soup, and arranged for someone to take care of him closely. Duan Hong returned to the wine table.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ann"
"Duanhong, sit down and have a drink."
Duan Hong cupped his hands and said, "Old slave, I'm offended."
"Don't look outside, we are one family"
"promise"
The two of them exchanged glasses for two bottles of wine, and Hong's face turned slightly red. Li Mingda didn't look drunk at all on his face.
"Your Majesty, you drink so much. Even after drinking so much with the Supreme Emperor, you still don't feel drunk at all."
"Actually, this is not good. If you don't get drunk, your life is missing a piece of happiness."
"That's true. I have a problem. I wonder if Your Majesty can tell me."
Duan Hong has something to ask?
"Tell me, see if I know"
"I don't know how the old slave's apprentices have been doing lately. I miss them a little."
"They are working hard outside to find the conspirators behind the scenes or to arrest the criminals and robbers. They have nothing to do. You don't need to worry too much. I still have a little heart. Are you worried that you won't live for a few years and need to be taken care of until the end of your life?
Already?"
Duan Hong couldn't help but admire: "Your Majesty is so discerning, he can see through the old slave's thoughts at a glance."
"Duan Hong, you don't have to worry so much. With your body and bones, it won't be a problem to live for another ten years."
The reincarnations of gods recognized by the Tang Dynasty all said this. Duanhong naturally felt relieved, and the worries in his heart disappeared instantly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
"You're welcome, stay up late and drink less when you're done, especially with Yu Qian, you two will have to smoke and perm your hair."
Duan Hong didn't know what Li Mingda was talking about about smoking, nor did he know about perming his hair. Duan Hong didn't dare to ask, but silently accepted Li Mingda's teasing.
After drinking with Duan Hong for a long time, Duan Hong's natural drinking capacity was just like this, and he quit after a while. Li Mingda drank two people in a row, and felt bored, so he got up and left.
First, I went to the Royal Horse Prison to take a look at the red rabbit and the white horse, then I went to the Xuanwu Gate to see the training of the imperial guards, and then I went to the Lizheng Hall to see the drunk Lao Li. I found that he was still sleeping, so he turned around and went to the sky.
prison.
"His Majesty"
"I'm busy with you, I'll go in and take a look."
"promise"
The words he promised were true, but if they dared to do their own thing, they all followed them from a distance.
It was impossible for Li Mingda to be alone. Canghai was on duty today, with a group of Jinyi guards, imperial guards and Liuli following behind him.
This is their highest honor and career, as long as it does not affect their walking.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai were playing chess in Li Chengqian's cell. Li Moyun and Changsun Wuji were also not idle together, and the four of them fought against each other.
"Hey, how are you guys doing?"
Li Chengqian and Li Tai stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Holy Ann."
"My second brother and I are playing chess"
Li Moyun stood up: "Your Majesty, Holy Ann"
Changsun Wuji also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Holy An" in a very calm tone.
"Well, are you playing chess as a competition? What's the prize?"
Li Chengqian and Li Tai shook their heads: "There is no chance of winning, it's just that there is nothing to do."
Too busy to be busy
Have no idea
"Do you want to come out?"
Li Chengqian shook his head: "It's pretty good here."
Li Tai's eyes rolled around and then he shook his head: "Brother is right, this place is very good."
Li Moyun also refused: "The sinner here is already Your Majesty's favor."
"Sinful minister..." Changsun Wuji didn't say anything for a long time. Li Mingda looked at him and said, "Just say what you want to say, I won't do anything to you."
Changsun Wuji sighed: "I don't know what your Majesty will do with me in the end. I really can't stand it any longer."
Li Mingda rubbed his chin: "I am not the kind of unkind person. Since you don't want to live, I won't make it difficult for you. Let's do this. You start writing a suicide note now. I will have someone send you one in the evening.
Poisonous wine, just drink it and leave."
Changsun Wuji was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. Li Mingda's answer was really surprising.
Not only was Changsun Wuji stunned, but Li Moyun, Li Tai, and Li Chengqian were also confused. What is going on today? Changsun Wuji was so safe and had no real intention to seek death that Li Mingda actually agreed.
Li Mingda glanced at Changsun Wuji with regret: "Cherish your last days, and don't forget your suicide note." After saying this, Li Mingda turned around and led the people out.
