Ang Lee sang while drenched in the rain. Moreover, he sang a very suitable song while holding a fragrant beauty in his arms. It felt very good. Moreover, it was a relatively hot summer, and it was not easy to catch a cold unless it was a very weak person.
The song was a very popular song in the future, and many people could sing it. Ang Lee could sing it after listening to it casually. Moreover, he sang it very well. Even Li Xiaolu, who did not understand the song, said that it was good.
In addition, Ang Lee roared, "Let the storm come more violently!" This was also said by a person named Gorky in the future. This guy described the strength of the Sea Swallow very well in an article called "The Sea Swallow". The more violent the storm, the more willing the Sea Swallow was to fight against the sky. It was not frightened by the storm at all.
Of course, this Gorky wrote about the Sea Swallow, but what he wanted to express was the brave revolutionaries. He used the fierce wind, dark clouds, and thunder to symbolize the ugly and weak reactionary forces of the Tsar, and the brave seagulls symbolized the brave revolutionaries. They were not afraid of the storm and finally welcomed the sun in the struggle.
Of course, Ang Lee was not a revolutionary, but Ang Lee was at least a reformer, or a pioneer. Without Ang Lee's internal reforms and external development, the Tang Empire would not have developed so rapidly in recent years.
Sometimes, reforms could also be called revolutions. However, this was an industrial revolution, not a political revolution, because the industrial revolution did not violate the interests of the royal family and the aristocrats. In other words, it did not violate their interests comprehensively. Some aristocrats even benefited from the industrial revolution, so naturally, they would not oppose it.
Because it took care of the interests of the majority of aristocrats, Ang Lee's reforms were inevitably not thorough, and greatly limited the normal expansion of industrialization. However, compared to other backward small countries, this was already a great improvement. Therefore, it did not matter if they fell behind a little. They could not overthrow the monarchy and establish a republic, right? In the era of the Tang Empire, how could such a thing as a republic be established? It violated the interests of too many people and would inevitably be met with a huge failure.
Of course, the most important reason was that the Tang Empire had no opponents. Therefore, even if the industrialization was slower and the results were smaller, there would be no problem. However, the Braid Dynasty in the future was different. That era was the era of rapid global industrial development. Western powers were desperately developing their industries and constantly improving their standards. The Braid Dynasty, because of the political system and its weak foundation, did not develop well. In short, because its opponents developed faster, it was beaten by a small country because its industrial development lagged behind others, and became a permanent pain in the Chinese people's heart.
In other words, only a more advanced social system could better serve industrialization. A backward feudal society could not support the rapid development of industrialization.
The advantage of the Tang Empire was that it had no opponents in the development of industrialization. In addition, almost all important technologies were strictly kept secret, so that the small countries outside could not learn them. Therefore, even if the Tang Empire used a backward political system, it could easily control the small countries around it. It did not have to worry about the small countries around it developing faster than it and replacing it as a big country.
Because all the advanced technologies and ideas were stored in Ang Lee's mind, Ang Lee did not have to worry that other small countries would surpass the Tang Empire. Moreover, in this era, almost all countries were ruled by monarchies, and their political systems were exactly the same. Therefore, with the national strength of these small countries, they naturally did not have the ability to develop the advanced technologies of the Tang Empire. It was impossible for them to surpass the Tang Empire.
"Assistant Minister Li, can you teach me how to sing? I want to sing what you just sang. "
Li Xiaolu felt that the tune of Ang Lee's song was very interesting, so she asked.
Ang Lee wiped the rain from his forehead and said loudly, "Of course, no problem. I'll teach you. If you can't learn it, stay outside in the rain until you learn it."
After agreeing to her request, Ang Lee made some threats.
"Okay! It's also good to have Assistant Minister Li accompany me in the rain, haha! "
Li Xiaolu had been dancing all year round, so her physical fitness was very good. Moreover, the rain was not very heavy at this time, so she could bear the rain. At worst, she could take a hot bath and change clothes later.
"On a rainy day, I really want to go out in the rain with you …"
Ang Lee began to teach her.
"On a rainy day, I really want to go out in the rain with you …"
Li Xiaolu sang in an off-key voice. It could even be said that there was no tune at all.
Naturally, Ang Lee was not satisfied, so he continued to teach her.
After learning for a long time, Li Xiaolu gradually found the tune. However, her singing was still not as good as Ang Lee's. After all, Li Xiaolu's level was only so-so. She was a European, so it was very good that she could learn to sing like this. How could she be expected to be a singer?
As time passed, the storm became heavier and heavier. The raindrops were like stones that smashed into people's bodies. They could even feel a trace of pain. What was worse was that the wind was relatively strong. The strong wind blew the rainstorm into people's faces, making it difficult for them to open their eyes.
However, this would be more exciting. If they didn't go crazy when they were young, they would feel sorry for themselves. They would feel sorry for their youth.
The storm had a tendency to approach the fleet. Fortunately, there was a port in Benghazi nearby. Otherwise, the fleet would be in danger.
After all, all the ships in the fleet were wooden ships provided by Osman. Although the technical talents of the Tang dynasty had rationalized them, there was no way to change the strength and size of the ships. When encountering a big storm, there was a certain risk.
If the fleet was designed and built by Ang Lee and sailed in the Mediterranean Sea, even if they encountered such a storm, Ang Lee would not look at it. It would not be a problem for them to pass through the storm directly. There was no need to worry about the fleet being swept away by the storm. However, the wooden ships provided by Osman could not. Once they passed through the storm area, there was a great possibility that they would disintegrate. In that case, they would be completely finished. Ang Lee did not want to be buried at the bottom of the sea, so it was better to go to the port of Benghazi to hide.
When the huge fleet appeared, a small force stationed in Benghazi had already discovered it. They saw the flag of the Tang dynasty and the ships were in their style. Therefore, they quickly understood that this fleet was the Tang Dynasty fleet commanded by Ang Lee. They also saw the storm, so they immediately began to prepare for it. They cleared the small fishing boats in the port and left the best and largest berth empty.
The storm was getting heavier and heavier. The novelty at the beginning had passed. Ang Lee and Li Xiaolu did not want to continue to be in the rain, so they ran into the cabin together.
"Didn't you say that if you don't learn this song well, you will be in the rain all the time?"
Li Xiaolu shuddered and said with a smile.
Ang Lee scolded, "You are so stupid. Even if you have another year, you won't be able to learn it well. You'd better learn it slowly in the future! Take a bath first and change your clothes. It's important. "
After that, he went to the bathroom. The hot water in the bathroom was prepared 24 hours a day. There was hot water at any time when he wanted to take a bath.
Ang Lee ran to the bathroom as fast as he could and took off all his wet clothes. Then, he began to turn on the hot and cold water to take a bath.
The reason why Ang Lee's boat always had hot water was that Ang Lee installed an insulated bucket on the boat. When the person in charge of logistics boiled the water, he could pour it into the insulated bucket. Moreover, there were more than one large insulated bucket. When the last insulated bucket was filled with hot water, the water in the first insulated bucket was not too hot. If Ang Lee used it, it would be fine. If he didn't use it, they would pour the cold water away and replace it with new hot water.
Of course, under normal circumstances, because the insulated bucket designed by Ang Lee was still very good, it only needed to be replaced once in a while. Moreover, Ang Lee usually used a large amount of water for washing. It was difficult for the hot water in the insulated bucket in front to not be used up before the temperature dropped. If it was a bath, it was even worse. It was very likely that all the water in the insulated bucket would be used up at once.
If it was a shower, it was not easy to use too much water, but if it was a bath, the water consumption was very large. Ang Lee liked to bathe in the bath, so the water used every time was not small.
One insulated bucket had two hundred liters of water. Ten insulated buckets were two thousand liters. According to the standards of the later generations, this was a full two meals of water. Moreover, all of it was hot water. If it was mixed with some room temperature water, it would not be a problem to get ten tons of bath water.
After all, it was summer now. The temperature of room temperature water was relatively high. One ton of hot water could be exchanged for four or five tons of cold water to take a bath. In addition, there was a boiler next to it. It could continue to boil water at any time. There was as much as he wanted. Ang Lee's boat did not have much, but there was an endless supply of food and drinking water. Along the way, every time it stopped, it had to be replenished, so it was even more inexhaustible.
Seeing that Ang Lee was bathing naked, Li Xiaolu naturally understood that Ang Lee was going to take a bath. As a maid, she naturally had to serve by his side. Moreover, her body was also wet. It was a good choice to take a bath together.
If multiple faucets were to bathe together, the speed was still very impressive. Soon, there was half a knee high of warm water in the pool.
"The water temperature has been adjusted. Quickly bring the towel."
Ang Lee said.
Li Xiaolu quickly brought the towel. Moreover, she brought a lot of towels. Some were for bathing, some were for scrubbing, and some were laid flat on the table for people to lie on. It was a complete set of equipment. It could be said to be extremely complete.
"Lie down and take a good bath to recover your body temperature."
Ang Lee soaked his whole body in the water, leaving only his head outside to ensure his breathing. Li Xiaolu was the same. She buried her frozen body in the water and stuck close to Ang Lee's side. She used her body to relax Ang Lee.
After all, the area of this pool was not big. At most, it could accommodate three people lying flat. The platform next to it was also wide enough for one person. If it was hot, they could lie on it and rest. Of course, they could not forget to put a wet towel on it. Otherwise, it would be hard to lie on it. It was more comfortable to lie on it with a softer surface.
When they were drenched in the rain, Ang Lee and Li Xiaolu both felt very cold. At this moment, because of the warm water, the two were not cold anymore. They felt very warm. After the body was warm, people would have other thoughts. After all, Ang Lee and Li Xiaolu were lying together naked. If nothing happened, it would be very abnormal.
Ang Lee gently stroked Li Xiaolu's delicate body. After hearing the sound of breathing, he immediately picked up Li Xiaolu and gently put her on the platform next to the bath.
This was originally a place to lie down and rest after the bath was tired. However, at this moment, Ang Lee's desire was deep. If he did not vent it well, he would not be able to take a bath.
Li Xiaolu had long been accustomed to being pampered by Ang Lee. When she saw Ang Lee's sturdy body pressing on her, she smiled and happily accompanied Ang Lee to have sex.
Unfortunately, the platform was not big enough for the two to play with too many tricks. They could only use a few positions back and forth.
The storm had been intensifying, and the waves caused by it were also intensifying. The ship that Osman provided for Ang Lee had very limited wind and wave resistance. As a result, the whole ship began to shake gradually and violently. However, the shaking was not frightening. At least, it would not cause the ship to capsize and sink.
The shaking of the ship was originally not a good thing. However, at this moment, the shaking ship became an aphrodisiac for Ang Lee and Li Xiaolu, making the two more happy.
While Ang Lee was having fun in the cabin, the soldiers under his command were busy preparing for entering the harbor. The harbor also sent a small boat to guide the Tang Dynasty fleet into the harbor.
After all, the harbor was still too simple at present. The water area of the harbor was large enough, but there were very few deep-water docks. Most of them were small docks for fishing boats with very shallow water. It was okay to dock fishing boats, but slightly bigger fishing boats with deeper water could not enter.
Fortunately, the ship that Ang Lee was riding now was not very big. As long as the harbor gave up the best berth, the fleet could use it sparingly. However, if Ang Lee's real Tang Dynasty fleet came, it would really be impossible to dock, unless the harbor was remodeled and the dock extended farther into the sea, or dredgers were used to dig away the silt in the harbor, so as to meet the requirements of deep-water ships to dock.
