Chapter 291 I have confidence in my heart
Chang'an City is getting lively day by day.
It's about to be the New Year.
There has never been a snowfall in Chang'an City, which inevitably makes people worry about the harvest next year.
The end of the year is approaching, and no matter how good or bad this year, the people are looking forward to the health of the coming year.
Uncle Fu went to the temple to incense Zhao Chen early in the morning, saying that he would like to thank the Buddha for his blessing and bless his son with a bright future without illness or disaster.
In a few more days, it will be the New Year's Eve of the ninth year of Zhenguan.
It is also the wedding date between Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang.
Although the Emperor died at the beginning of the year, the Tang Dynasty banned the grand ceremony in the third year.
But this marriage is still something to be done after all.
And with Li Jing's face, there are naturally many people who come and go to congratulate him.
Although the tavern is open these days, it is no longer open to the public.
Zhao Chen was busy in his new house across the street.
Even when Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu came over, they saw Zhao Chen digging something in the ground.
However, the two of them were just here to drink, but they didn't ask much.
Look, the two of them were driven out by the old man in their own homes, saying that in the middle of winter, don’t stay at home, go out for a walk more and have a better understanding.
The two of them didn't know that the old man at home actually wanted them to learn more from Zhao Chen.
But the reality is that Zhao Chen also needs time to deal with him.
Just like now, Zhao Chen didn't know where to get some undyed cloth, and supported the ground that had been scattered a few days ago with bamboo.
I don't know what it is doing inside.
"Why have time to come today?" Zhao Chen stretched and asked with the two of them with a smile.
Now Zhao Chen's qi has basically recovered.
As long as you don’t exercise too much, it will be no different from ordinary people.
Otherwise, he couldn't dig the soil in the ground with a hoe, right?
"Oh, don't mention it. I was lying at home for a day. The old man drove me out with a broom, saying that there was no idle person at home and asked me to go out and find something to do." Cheng Chumo cried with a sad face.
Although Cheng Chumo said that he did not inherit the old man's title, he was still a captain in the army.
Why is this just an idle person?
"My father also means that. In fact, he just wants us to come here to help you." Qin Huaiyu said with a smile.
Zhao Chen only had some of the family generals whom he sent to him last time, and there was no servant or anything else around him.
Send some servants to Zhao Chen, but he himself disagrees.
It will be the day for Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang to get married soon, and many of these things need to be dealt with.
"It just so happens that there are many rooms here. If you have nothing to do, you will stay here in the past few days to be a companion with me." Zhao Chen naturally understood the purpose of the two.
The two of them naturally couldn't ask for it and agreed.
Several people sat down on the chair beside them. After talking for a while, Zhao Chen remembered his previous plans.
Then he spoke to the two of them, "Chumo, Huaiyu, I have a plan here, do you want to be together?"
"think!"
"Of course I want to!"
As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, he heard the two of them nodded and responded.
In the eyes of Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, what's wrong with Zhao Chen's plan?
No matter what you do, just keep up with Zhao Chen's pace.
Zhao Chen did not expect that the two of them would be so unhesitant and decisive.
After all, I didn't even explain what I wanted to do to both of them.
"Do you know the Quyuan Plough and the Tube Car?" Zhao Chen and the two asked casually.
"I know, I heard from my old man that they have seen these things in His Majesty's Imperial Garden. His Majesty said that those things were made by a peerless master."
"Now the Ministry of Works has distributed the drawings of the curved plow and trolley to various prefectures and counties. It is estimated that after the beginning of spring, it will be applied to farming!" Cheng Chumo nodded, and even had a lot of knowledge about this matter.
"I have also heard that His Majesty is very secretive about the identity of that master. Even if the prince asks him, he refuses it."
"That expert, like Zhao Chen, you are all talented people who are rare. If you can meet..."
"Actually, I made the curved plow and the trolley myself. You should have seen it in Wannian County as well." Zhao Chen smiled slightly and said to the two of them.
Before Qin Huaiyu could finish her words, she was stunned when she heard Zhao Chen's words.
After a while, he realized and looked at Zhao Chen with surprise.
"I... I heard it right?" Cheng Chumo turned around, glanced at Zhao Chen, and then looked at Qin Huaiyu.
It seems that I want to confirm what Zhao Chen said just now from him.
Cheng Chumo knew that his old man highly praised the guy who invented the curved plow and the trolley.
Even if I could meet this person, I would feel lucky in my three lives.
But now, Zhao Chen said that the master is actually him, Zhao Chen.
this……
Qin Huaiyu did not doubt Zhao Chen's words, but this was really unbelievable.
After all, he always thought that a master was a guy with a fairy spirit.
How could it be Zhao Chen?
The yard was a little quiet, and Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu both looked at Zhao Chen with wide eyes.
"I have only told you about this matter, and the plan I just said is related to it." Zhao Chen said with a very calm expression.
The two of them also recovered from the shock and looked at Zhao Chen intently.
"The curved plows, cylinder trucks, and even rice with a yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu are actually technological advancements."
"The so-called technology is the experience and knowledge accumulated by us humans in the process of understanding and utilizing nature and embodied in production labor, and it also refers to other operating skills..."
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were obviously stunned when they heard it.
Obviously, neither of them understood Zhao Chen's words.
"It's actually very simple. I want to establish a Gewu Department in Datang, recruit various technical talents, and specialize in researching various technologies and tools."
"It will involve the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as military equipment, etc.." Zhao Chen thought for a while and briefly introduced his thoughts to the two.
Just as Zhao Chen thought before, the Tang Dynasty today may be able to avoid some disasters and even make some great progress with some of its own means.
But then, once you die, will the Tang Dynasty eventually decline?
Who can protect his home in the Tang Dynasty?
Zhao Chen didn't want to think about these things, but this was like a sharp sword hanging around his neck.
"But we both can't help you, can we help you?" Qin Huaiyu hesitated.
They only know how to use swords and guns on weekdays, but they can't help with technology.
Zhao Chen asked him to help, but he was afraid that he would mess it up.
"It's certainly OK, because with your help, I feel confident in my heart." Zhao Chen nodded affirmatively.
"Then the relationship is good. With your words, I, Old Cheng, will definitely help me." Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said loudly.
"Since that's the case, I can do it too!" Qin Huaiyu nodded.
Even now, he doesn't understand what Zhao Chen, the so-called Investigation Department, does.
