The Princess Tower has reached the last floor. The entire tower is nearly 75 meters high. With the top of the tower, it is more than 80 meters. What's the point? The height is the second height of the Tang Dynasty, which is not far from the height of the Mingtang. It is also fifteen meters higher than the original planned height.

This is Wang Hua is afraid that someone will make a fuss about height, otherwise he may increase his strength by ten meters.

But this is also a very amazing height. There was a hill next to it, about 60 meters high. It was a seal with the tower, which was much shorter. The local people didn't know what was going on, but only saw the tower rising up. In the end, the tower had not been repaired yet, so they ran to the edge of the tower to burn incense and worship. They thought it was a miracle.

The entire octagon is intended to strengthen its thickness and resist typhoon erosion. Anyway, it was built for Li Guer, and there are fewer taboos. The eaves are yellow glazed tiles, and dragons and phoenixes are flying in the corridor outside. There are countless copper bells hanging under the eaves. When the breeze blows, you can clearly hear it from a few miles downstream.

There are two rows of stone sculptures outside, including the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors on the left, Confucius and Laozi on the right. Anyway, except for the historical and cultural atmosphere of China, I can’t find a god here. However, these stone sculptures have not been completed, and the reliefs and pictures in the tower have not been completed, and only reach the sixth floor.

There are two walls in front of the tower for tourists to write poems and verses. If you have any thoughts after seeing them, please leave a message here. Don’t doodle the 50-centimeter floating lotus cloud painting below the text in the tower.

In fact, when Wang Hua built this Peony Tower, he only wanted to promote the role of cement, so that everyone could see the speed and stability, and achieve the expected goal, and educate. This was not a one-day achievement. However, Wang Hua did not expect that after the construction of this tower, it would increase commercial opportunities for Qinzhou.

Compared to Guangzhou, Qinzhou has many congenital deficiencies in the terrain. It cannot even be compared with Mingzhou, Quanzhou, but Chinese people are curious. Foreigners are also curious. What does this princess tower mean? Mingzhu of the East. Take a boat to go around. It is also okay. You can brag about it after returning home.

Some bad things happened, because of the speed of rush, there was no stoppage of work during a typhoon in May, which caused the typhoon to blow into a scaffolding. Three workers fell down. Fortunately, Wang Hua reacted quickly and immediately used thick gold to pay the family of the three workers to calm the storm.

But when the robbery was in time, the towers were all topped off before Li Guer arrived.

There was no opening. Li Guer had not come yet. After Li Guer had read it, he had written a plaque and made a plaque to open it to the public. This was also a way to block the mouths of some ministers in the court. Therefore, no celebration ceremony was held, but many residents still flocked to them. Even officials from the surrounding prefectures and counties rushed over to watch.

Some foreign businessmen looked at the mountain next to them, then looked at the tower, and immediately fell to the ground and worshiped him.

But Wang Hua was too troubled. Now, after several incidents, the merchants knew what business opportunities were. Follow Wang Hua and asked Wang Hua to sell the land near the tower. Once the tower is opened, there are so many tourists. What a big business opportunity is this. As a result, the land in the city was not auctioned, and dozens of acres of land near the tower were sold at a high price. And, along with the houses stored in the city, more than 3,000 buildings were sold.

Now I am looking forward to Li Guer's arrival. If I don't come for a while, the tower will not be able to open for a while.

Li Guer and his party were not very fast at the beginning. Such a large ship was better on the Yellow River, but on the Grand Canal and Wei River, because they carried a lot of weight lifting and materials distributed by the court to comfort the people. They could not sail too fast. Otherwise, there would be a possibility of stranding.

Anyway, the princesses and the princess were not in a hurry. They lay on the deck, drinking wine, listening to the wonderful singing of the maids she accompanied, and looked down at the river with all their elixirs, and the scenery on both sides was picturesque. They all forgot where they were.

It's really not possible. Sitting in a luxurious restaurant, playing mahjong, and after reaching the Yangtze River, I was even more amazed one after another. I had never seen such a wide river surface. But after reaching the sea, the Yangtze River was nothing.

But when we arrived at the sea, we felt bored after passing by. And a very small number of princes and grandchildren began to get seasick. But the ship was fast, in addition to the personnel arranged by Wang Hua, there were also three hundred Yulin soldiers. One of them was launching huge oars. The ship was already very fast, and dozens of oars were struggling to make their way. The ship was like arrows, and it was almost arrived in Qinzhou in just over ten days.

However, Wang Hua's subordinates tried their best to supplement the supply and stopped at the Yazhou Port. It was not a port. A small harbor with some fishing boats inside. There were only two ships that were probably coming to purchase goods because of the transaction with Qinzhou, which was probably the only highlight.

Li Hong said: "This is Lingnan. Qinzhou used to be similar to Yazhou, and it is not as big as Yazhou."

It cannot be said that Qinzhou is not as wide as Yazhou. However, because Ning family has been operating for many years, its economic situation is slightly better than Yazhou.

Li Guer became interested and took the guards off the boat. He brought many guards, more than a hundred people. Because Yazhou was poor and the sky was high and the emperor was far away, every official who came here wanted to plunder. So the people were very hard and could not live a life. So they resisted.

But I still couldn't resist the imperial machine. So after suppressing it, I stabilized for a while, and then started to rebel again. When I reversed, I suppressed it again. The people had great experience in fighting and had to be careful.

The officials in Yazhou were not fools, so they immediately brought people to greet them. But when the group arrived at the state city, they were stunned. Their Masi was better than this state city.

After walking around, I was in a bad mood, and boarded the boat and sailed towards Qinzhou in a mighty way.

When "no matter how many golden fingers Wang Hua opens, compared with Chang'an and Thirsty Sun, he is pregnant with a small caterpillar.

However, the Yazhou team deepened the impression of the prince who came to visit these dozens of people. The neat rows of salt fields at the entrances of the two bays were shining under the hot July sunlight. As for the boats, you could see dense fleets without entering Qinzhou Bay. All of them told the vitality of the city.

At the same time, I also saw the Princess Tower. I had heard of it for a long time. Now I can see the beautiful figure of the princess from afar and hear the ringtone.

But it made them wonder why there are so many people on the shore, are the people of Qinzhou so hospitable?

It's not like this. It's not to welcome them. Li Xian may not have welcomed them even when he comes. The main thing is to wait for Li Guer to go around the tower and then go up to the tower to take a look. However, the enthusiasm of the people was as expected by Wang Hua. Not only were there people in Qinzhou, but even the people of the prefectures and counties around him rushed over.

Wang Hua was a little anxious. He immediately prepared a lot of food, but he didn't think about buying it. There was a shop, most of which had not been repaired yet. He could not provide food and drink for 100,000 or 200,000 people.

But I heard of free food and drink, and there was a grand event for late death, and more people came. Even the merchants who loaded the goods stopped the ship and prepared to set off tomorrow.

So the black and soft water couldn't see the edge, and they all looked at each one, waiting for Li Guer's ship to arrive.

Li Guer got off the boat and all the officials in Qinzhou welcomed him. Only Wang Hua did not take it seriously. He gave a simple gift. There were many princes in this group, but Princess Changning actually left her husband and ran to Qinzhou. There were also little Loli Princess Jincheng. As well as other kids who were big and small, the older one was only twenty years old, and the younger one was only ten years old. There was no need for Wang Hua to respect them.

But what I care about is his two children, Wang Zhaolang and Wang Ting, who are so beautiful that Li Hong is beautiful.

It is different from Wang Hua's birth when he was a child. Since these two little guys were born, what is the golden branch and jade little leaf? They are the real golden branch master. Not to mention the eunuchs and palace maids who served Wang Zhaolang, there are nearly ten servants who followed Wang Ting and served them specifically.

He hugged him around and became accustomed to hugging him. Wang Hua was not afraid of Wang Hua, and looked at Wang Hua with his eyes curiously.

Li Guer pointed to Wang Hua and said, "Zhaolang, shout yeah."

He shouted clearly, but Wang Hua was very happy and kept kissing each other.

But when Li Guer saw Ji Chune and Zong Jinqing, he asked strangely: "Ji Fuqing, Zong Zaizhi, and others are all dark in their faces. Why are your faces still white and clean?"

How can it be vain? Now, people have become the biggest joke in Qinzhou. It turns out that they are hiding at home and dare not go out.

The others lowered their heads and snickered. Lao Ji and Lao Zong wanted to get angry, but they didn't have the courage.

Fortunately, Wang Hua stopped Li Guer and took them to the princess tower. Except for the three princes who were seasick and rested on a rattan chair, the rest of the people led the tower. Li Guer also asked Li Guer to write three words, but Li Guer refused and asked Wang Hua to write, but Wang Hua did not agree.

The main reason is that the height is very taboo, and I cannot write this character. This time I borrowed it from many families in the two capitals and treasured it, and there are many original works of my masterpieces, and my calligraphy may not be the best among them.

Li Guer wrote the words in front, and behind him a craftsman used the gold glue he had prepared early to carve them down and made a plaque.

The group stopped the tower again.

The seventh floor was installed inside, and today I made an exception and stopped working. But I was not stupid, and I saw the meaning of it. Princess Changning said silently: "Governor Wang, what a big deal."

When I reached the highest floor, what happened? The prince looked down. The scenery was magnificent, and he could see the panoramic view of Qinzhou City and the beautiful Qinzhou Bay. But some little kids who were afraid of heights were trembling on their legs and didn't even dare to stretch their heads out. But most of them were still excited. Wang Hua did not give them a chance, and there were still people waiting in line below to pull them down.

This allowed the people to enter, but they had to queue up, otherwise something would happen soon. Wang Hua took them to his mansion to rest, and there would be a large-scale event tonight.

The supper was eaten at Wang Hua's mansion. Some princes were curiously walking around Qinzhou City. It was getting dark, and Wang Hua said to them, "Come with me."

When they came outside the city, there were people drinking and eating meat. Anyway, Wang Hua provided it for free. But the wine had to be purchased at his own expense. That's it. The merchants selling wine were so irritating. Before the event came, some barbarians began to sing and dance and perform.

Wang Hua saw that the time was almost over, so he ordered the plaque to be hung up.

There was a plaque hanging in front, and countless firecrackers were set off behind. Then there were fireworks on both sides of the Qin River. Although the fireworks were still far from the fireworks that were later, they were not as tall as the ones. They were not as big as that, but there was no key. They lasted for nearly half an hour, and turned the Qin River into a colorful river under the reflection of the colorful fireworks in the night sky.

After the grand fireworks, the next one was a singing and dancing performance by more than 10,000 indigenous people. The people who moved here happily returned to it.

As a result, there were nearly 10,000 people in front of the tower the next day because they were excited last night and got drunk and slept on the ground. However, the weather is hot now, and at most, the mosquitoes suck a lot of blood at night, and no one will freeze.

This is Wang Hua's name hanging on Li Guer, which makes everyone happy for the last time.

Although it is full of vitality, it is all exchanged for sweat. The pace of labor is far greater than that of other regions. Otherwise, Qinzhou does not have the same appearance as it is today.

The second steward returned to the capital. The Lingnan Road inspector Bu Zuo said, "Although the new tower was completed!" The people in the state were asked to celebrate with a carnival, and there were inevitably men and women intersecting. There were many things that were rude. But the so-called prosperous era, the ministers did not know, or this was a prosperous era.

If all the states of the Tang Dynasty were like Qinzhou, then the prosperity had never appeared in history books. But he did not dare to say this sentence.

It was originally a good thing, but Wang Hua received a letter from the court. It was obvious that he had stared at Qinzhou together during this period. If it weren't for being far away, he might have reported it every day.

The imperial envoy came over to issue an order, first, to ask Wang Hua to take good care of the princesses no matter what, and not let them get into trouble.

This is easy to understand. Now there are not many children of Wei. Princess Changning and Li Guer, but both of them are good, and they all run over. My mother is worried that it is different for her and Li Guer.

In fact, there are not bad things. Lingnan itself has many fruits. Wang Hua spared no expense last year. He transported many ice cubes to store in a deep cellar. Some time ago, he crossed Lingbei and transported bayberry to put them in an ice cellar. Although the weather was very hot, he would cut the fruit into small dices from time to time, put them in rock sugar and honey, stir them together to cool down and avoid them. He can also eat it in the capital. Whether it is expensive or not is secondary, mainly without this fresh fruit.

After eating it in one bite, what? Humph: I shouted that it was refreshing. Not only did I give them ice cubes to eat, but I also put a few ice cubes in their room at night to reduce the temperature of the room. I also planted crawling tigers, morning glory and green vines around the room, which not only beautify the environment, but also play a role in helping the sun.

In fact, these princes and princesses have not had a hard time.

Just for the comfort of their career, Wang Hua had to spend nearly 10,000 yuan.

But another thing made Wang Hua very angry. The eunuch asked very tactfully, because the Ministry of War and Minister of Works gave advice, Wang Hua's explosives had great value in military and civil use. Can he hand over the recipe for the court?

Wang Hua immediately took out the paper and pen and wrote a reply to the court in front of the eunuch.

I was thinking about whether the explosives have any effect in military affairs. But it was not very big, and I didn’t figure it out. I immediately sent several thousand kilograms to the capital. Let the relevant ministers of the court think about it. If I figure it out, I immediately handed over the recipe.

As for the value of civil use, whether it is, whether it is cost-effective. In order to build the road, I used a total of explosives, which was made by myself. The raw materials and wage costs also reached more than 600,000 yuan in marriage. This is to save time and increase the speed. Because I didn’t stay in Qinzhou for a long time, I did this. If I had built roads in the court, would I be reluctant to do this?

It is effective in military affairs, but it requires some equipment. However, because of the power of black gunpowder, although it has appeared in China for a long time, it has not replaced cold weapons. In the Ming Dynasty, many weapons were used in black gunpowder, but it is still not the mainstream.

When building roads, it is normal to use black gunpowder, it is even more cost-effective. It is affordable. A few unwritten roads are left to migrant workers. If it weren’t for the annual tribute tax of more than 600,000 yuan for silk, the entire Tang Dynasty would not have more than twenty prefectures with a tribute tax of more than 600,000 yuan for marriage. If it weren’t for the fact that Xi Chao had only fifteen of cotton. Wang Hua stayed in the Ministry of Revenue, and he was very clear about this. So when I heard about the tax in Qinzhou, why did the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue perform his merits for Wang Hua in the court?

Not only road construction, but also mines are not worth the cost. In Oceania, except for the critical and difficult places to crack, black gunpowder is basically mainly used for manual mining. Unless it is more powerful yellow gunpowder, the thing is unstable and cannot be protected, and something big happens. Then only the later training is "that is the real civilian gunpowder. Of course, black Sorkin, plastic explosives are better.

In fact, the greatest civilian value of black gunpowder is firecrackers and fireworks. There is no way, and the power cannot be increased. For example, can a city wall blow up a city wall successfully bring thousands of kilograms of explosives to the bottom of the city wall? Like the Luoyang city wall, even if a few thousand kilograms of explosives are placed, they are still in place. Otherwise, with the power of black gunpowder, they cannot be knocked down. Even if the court made black gunpowder, it would not be possible to use it in civil engineering.

But Wang Hua did not stop, and he continued to write. As for black gunpowder, in addition to emergency relief, it was used on both sides, and because the country needed to transport a large amount of explosives to mine the copper ore as soon as possible. In fact, the biggest function was firecrackers and fireworks.

I don’t know who came up with the idea. But since I want to, I have to take on one thing immediately and take on the food.

Why did I set the price of grain at 30 cents per bucket? This is the cost of transferring grain from foreign countries. However, by a little bit, I can still afford it. Later, when the ship grew bigger, it was my own ship, which reduced the cost, which was nearly 30 cents. That is, every bucket of rice was subsidizing nearly 10 cents to the country. How much would it be subsidized for more than 70 million stones of grain?

This behavior of me is equivalent to doing business. It is good. I don’t want to hand over the salt field to the state according to the system, and the taxes of the Maritime Bureau were handed over to the state according to the system. But the people of Qinzhou needed money to resettle, and the surrounding prefectures and counties also asked me for money, and the roads required money. Huge grains required money to soft-stick them. As for copper mines, they were not allowed to operate privately.

Can you really make money?

Anyone who wants the formula for explosives can do it, but the minister doesn't care about the food matters and has no money to take care of it. Whoever wants it will take care of it.

This is endless.
