Chapter 787: I Want to Learn All the Good Things in the Tang Dynasty

"It's so beautiful." Princess Yongmu looked up at the fireworks, and finally said only four words.

Li Yi vaguely heard the sound of fireworks, looked at the location of the imperial city, and suddenly remembered something important.

He waved to Qingsong and shouted: "Send people to send fireworks to the east and west cities of Chang'an and the south of the city, and set them off there, quickly."

Qingsong ran to find someone, and Li Yisong sighed.

He thought that it was not easy for the people to watch the fireworks. Going to the Imperial City from other places obviously couldn't squeeze in. Some people could only watch the show in their own square.

The east and west cities are in suitable locations. As long as the fireworks fly high enough, people in the surrounding neighborhoods can see them.

There are many officials and people in the south of the city who also want to see it.

Li Yi believed that some people would run to the river to watch Zhuangzi's fireworks and could go back at any time without closing the city gate.

Yulin Feiqi took the fireworks and hurriedly ran around from the south of the city to the west market. The roads in the city were full of people.

A quarter of an hour later, before the fireworks in Imperial City and Zhuangzi stopped, the fireworks in Dongshi began to take off and bloom.

Another half-quarter of an hour later, beautiful patterns also appeared in the sky above the West Market.

As Li Yi thought, many people outside Bashui stood watching and ate dumplings by the way.

The Tubo people in Honglu Temple looked at the prosperous scenery of Chang'an on New Year's Eve in the Tang Dynasty, and their moods did not feel better at all.

More than an hour later, the fireworks ended and the performance continued on the Imperial City.

Isimba's face was full of helplessness: "Sleigh, many places in our country are covered with snow all year round, and it snows for many days every year."

"It also snows in the Turks, as well as in the grasslands and Khitan areas."

Boyan had already thought of the sled transportation capabilities of Jingzhao Mansion in the Tang Dynasty, and even thought about its military use.

"Write a letter back so that we can use the same tools there." Isimba's tone was full of helplessness.

Tubo is always following behind to learn from the Tang Dynasty. The hot air balloon has not yet been learned how to use, and the alcohol is gone.

At the moment, we only have kerosene lamps. Kerosene lamps are expensive, and we don’t sell more kerosene specifically.

The hot air balloon plan is now unfeasible, and the only way is to consider how to deal with Datang's hot air balloons.

Ships can be learned, but they are of little use in Tubo.

What remained was the sled, drawn by horses and loaded with baggage.

Instead of horses carrying baggage, the weight the horses bear is obviously different between the two.

"Usually used for transportation convenience." Boyu knew this very well, and the people of Jingzhao Mansion did this.

Last winter, or rather the winter before and after the New Year, it snowed heavily. In winter, people could only ride ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages.

When you encounter a snowy place, take off the board from the car, prop up the wheels, and sneak over.

Then it changed, all sledding, no need to clear the snow on the road.

If the road is not easy to walk on, people will go through the water network, and people come and go frequently.

In this way, we contacted surrounding counties and transported greenhouse vegetables in large quantities.

I wonder if greenhouse cultivation is useful in Tubo? It requires a lot of silk and firewood.

Considering how to grow greenhouses in the Tang Dynasty, Boyu suddenly thought of a key question. There is no coal in Tubo, how to burn it? Burning firewood and cow dung?

Just to eat some cucumbers and eggplants in winter, a lot of money is invested, and some people don’t even have silk clothes to wear in winter.

Including slaves, slaves would freeze to death if they were not given clothes, which was property damage.

"Growing soybeans to raise worms..." Boyu then considered learning how to breed bean worms. He found that the worms were delicious.

Even if the upper class people in Tubo don't like to eat it, just give it to the slaves. Only when the slaves have strength can they work more.

"If Li Yi is from Tubo, what good ideas will he come up with for Tubo? Especially suitable for Tubo."

Isimba was thinking about Li Yi. He wanted to come over to compete with Li Yi and get skills from Li Yi.

He is very conceited and thinks he is strong.

After a series of events, the competition was gone. He kept watching Li Yi take things out.

So when Li Yi was in Jingzhao Mansion in the Tang Dynasty, what he was thinking about was the local people. What if he switched to Tubo?

"No...yes, it's called resources. If there are no resources, he can only provide a short plow in Tubo. If he can take out a sled, what else is there?"

Boyan felt uncomfortable when he thought of Li Yi. With a disparaging word, he felt much better.

The other foreign envoys in Honglu Temple were studying hard.

The Xi people and the Khitans live in the northeast and part of Inner Mongolia, and they have a hard time traveling during the winter.

They found this sled to be good, and they were actually not wrong. Historically, horse-drawn sledges, deer-drawn sledges, and dog-drawn sledges were all used in the Northeast.

As long as there is snow, the sledge can go up the mountain. Wherever the horse can run, the sledge can definitely go.

The bushes were too dense to trap the horse's legs, and the sledge could fly over them.

Of course, under normal circumstances, we don’t play like that. I feel sorry for the horse, just in case it falls.

They had never thought about it before, but this year they were watching the people coming and going in Jingzhao Mansion, and they were ready to learn from it.

Otherwise, it will be impossible to go out after heavy snowfall.

Yu Jiang came back with the team that went to Khitan and Bohai, still pretending to be a Shu native.

The official in charge of the Khitan team was Bacharcha, so Yu Jiang found Bacharcha.

Bacharcha and his party brought back all their families, including the families of the brothers who did not go, and planned to let their families live in the Tang Dynasty.

Mainly the children learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and then they rotate back to Khitan to help with ideas.

"Bacharcha, the sled looks easy to make, but in fact there is a secret. The Khitan needs a sled." Yu Jiang pretended to eat dumplings to communicate with Bacharcha.

"I'll go ask." Bacharcha was thinking about Khitan, regardless of whether today was the 30th.

Li Yi had just sent Princess Yongmu back to the courtyard and was about to go back to his own courtyard to rest when he met Bacharcha who came to find him.

There were also Yulin Flying Cavalry accompanying him, who were worried about other people approaching Li Yi.

"Master Li, what are the tricks for sledding? I need it for Khitan."

Bacharcha asked loudly, and the sound of the performance came from the other side.

"Do you mean making it? The main thing is lightness. Since there is no bamboo there, it is better to make it with oak wood, which is relatively heavier. If you want it to be light, use straw weaving, and use oil tree strips to weave into rows below..."

Li Yi did not refuse Bacharcha's question, and patiently explained how the sleds in the Northeast were made in the past.

The light ones are not strong enough. If there are children to carry, or if there are some goods to be loaded, people will drag them. Which one should be used.

If wood is used, livestock must be used naturally.

"There is a kind of deer over there that can replace horses to pull sleds. They are relatively docile." Li Yi kindly introduced the reindeer.

The entire Northeast is under the control of Bohai, including the Heilongjiang area, but the control is not very strong.

Liaoning is far from Heilongjiang among the three provinces in the Northeast. How can the entire area be completely controlled? Use highways? Provincial roads? Trains?

There are many mountains and rivers along the way, which means that there are some places that are nominally under the control of Bohai, but the local tribes actually live on their own.

Otherwise, in the autumn, there was a rebellion over there, and the news reached the king of Bohai. He sent troops in winter, but they didn't arrive in the spring, and a group of people froze to death on the road.
