Chang'an City is becoming more lively day by day.

The New Year is almost here.

There has still not been a single snowfall in Chang'an City, which inevitably makes people more worried about the harvest in the coming year.

The new year is approaching, and no matter how good or bad this year is, people are looking forward to good health in the coming year.

Uncle Fu went to the temple early in the morning to offer incense for Zhao Chen, saying he wanted to thank the Buddha for blessing him and wishing his son a bright future and no illness or disaster.

In a few days, it will be New Year's Eve in the ninth year of Zhenguan.

It is also the wedding date of Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang.

Although due to the death of the Supreme Emperor at the beginning of the year, grand affairs were prohibited for the third year of the Tang Dynasty.

But this marriage still has to happen after all. ??

And with Li Jing's reputation, there will naturally be many people coming and going to congratulate him.

These days, although the tavern is open, it is no longer open to the public.

Zhao Chen was busy in the new house across the street.

Even when Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu came over, they always saw Zhao Chen digging for something in the ground.

But the two of them just came to drink, so they didn't ask any questions.

No, the two of them were kicked out by their respective old men, who told them not to stay at home in the middle of winter, but to go out and walk around more to gain experience.

Little did the two of them know that the old man at home actually wanted them to learn more from Zhao Chen.

But the reality is that Zhao Chen has to have time to deal with him.

Just like now, Zhao Chen got some undyed cloth from nowhere, and used bamboo to prop up the ground he had dug a few days ago.

I don't know what is going on inside.

Why do you have time to come here today? Zhao Chen stretched and asked the two of them with a smile.

Now Zhao Chen's Qi disease has basically recovered.

As long as you don't do too much strenuous exercise, you'll be just like ordinary people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to dig the soil in the field with a hoe, right?

Oh, forget it, I just stayed at home all day.

The old man took a broom and kicked me out. He said that the family did not support idle people and asked me to go out and find something to do. Cheng Chumo cried with a sad face.

Although Cheng Chumo said he did not inherit the old man's title, he was still a lieutenant colonel in the army.

Why is this an idler?

My father means the same thing. In fact, he just wants us to come over and help you. Qin Huaiyu said with a smile.

Zhao Chen only had some of the generals he and I gave him last time, and there were no servants around him.

Send some servants to Zhao Chen, but he doesn’t agree.

The wedding day of Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang is coming soon, and there are many things that need to be dealt with.

I happen to have more rooms here. If you have nothing to do, you can stay here for the next few days and keep me company. Zhao Chen naturally understood the purpose of the two people's visit.

The two of them naturally wanted it and agreed wholeheartedly.

A few people sat down on the chairs nearby. After talking for a while, Zhao Chen remembered his previous plan.

Then he spoke to the two of them and said, Chu Mo, Huai Yu, I have a plan here. Do you want to come together?

think!

Of course I do!

As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, he heard the two men nodding in response.

In the eyes of Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, what could be wrong with Zhao Chen's plan?

No matter what you are doing, just follow Zhao Chen's pace.

Zhao Chen didn't expect that the two of them would be so decisive and hesitant.

After all, he didn't even explain clearly to the two of them what he wanted to do.

Do you know about Quyuan plow and barrel cart? Zhao Chen asked the two of them casually.

I know. I heard from my old man that they will meet these things in His Majesty's Royal Garden.

However, Your Majesty said, those things were made by a peerless master.

Now the Ministry of Industry has distributed the production drawings of the curved shaft plow and barrel cart to all states and counties. It is estimated that after the spring, they will be applied to farming! Cheng Chu nodded silently, even knowing a lot about this matter.

I have also heard that His Majesty is very secretive about the identity of that master. Even when the Crown Prince asked, he refused.

That expert, like you, Zhao Chen, is an unparalleled talent. If you could meet...

Actually, I built the curved plow and the barrel cart myself. You should have seen them in Wannian County. Zhao Chen smiled slightly and said to the two of them.

Qin Huaiyu hadn't finished speaking yet. When he heard Zhao Chen's words, he was stunned.

It took him a while to react, and he looked at Zhao Chen with eyes full of surprise.

I...did I hear that right? Cheng Chumo turned around, glanced at Zhao Chen, and then at Qin Huaiyu.

It seemed that he wanted to confirm what Zhao Chen had just said.

Cheng Chumo knew that the old man in his family had great respect for the guy who invented the curved shaft plow and the barrel cart.

He even said that if he could meet this person once, he would feel lucky for the rest of his life.

But now, Zhao Chen said that that expert was actually him, Zhao Chen.

this……

Qin Huaiyu did not doubt Zhao Chen's words, but it was really unbelievable.

After all, he had always thought that he was an expert, and he was a fairy-like guy anyway.

How could it be Zhao Chen?

The courtyard was a little quiet, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu both looked at Zhao Chen with wide eyes.

I have only told you two about this matter, and the plan I just mentioned is related to this. Zhao Chen said with an extremely calm expression.

The two of them also recovered from the shock and looked at Zhao Chen attentively.

The curved shaft plow, the bobbin cart, and even the rice with a yield of three thousand kilograms per mu are actually technological advancements.

The so-called technology refers to the experience and knowledge accumulated by us people in the process of understanding and utilizing nature and reflected in production labor. It also generally refers to other operational skills...

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were obviously stunned when they heard this.

It was obvious that neither of them understood what Zhao Chen said.

It's actually very simple. I want to establish a Gewu Department in Datang to recruit various technical talents and specialize in the research of various technologies and tools.

It will involve a series of aspects such as the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people, as well as military equipment. Zhao Chen thought for a while and briefly introduced his ideas to the two of them.

Just as Zhao Chen thought before, today's Datang, with its own methods, may be able to avoid some disasters and even achieve some considerable development.

But then, once he dies, will Datang eventually decline?

Who will protect my home in Datang?

Zhao Chen didn't want to think about this, but after all, it was like a sharp sword hanging around his neck.

But we don't know anything, can we help you? Qin Huaiyu hesitated.

They usually only know how to wield swords and guns, but in terms of technology, they can't help at all.

Zhao Chen asked him to help, but he was afraid of screwing up Zhao Chen.

It's definitely possible, because with your help, I feel confident. Zhao Chen nodded affirmatively.

That's a good relationship. With your words, I, Old Cheng, will definitely help. Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said loudly.

In that case, I can do it too! Qin Huaiyu nodded.

Even now, he still doesn't understand what Zhao Chen, the so-called Gewu Secretary, does.

But none of that matters, right?
