As the last morning court approached New Year's Eve, Li Shimin was surprised to see Zhao Chen standing at the end of the officials.
The seventh day before the New Year's Eve of the Tang Dynasty and before the seventh day of the first lunar month, they are not allowed to attend court.
Today is the last morning court in the nine years of Zhenguan.
Zhao Chen, who had not appeared for a long time, really surprised Li Shimin.
The last morning court was actually nothing big.
It is nothing more than all the ministers greeting the emperor in advance, and the emperor will say some hard-working polite words from the ministers.
After talking for a while, the emperor was about to announce his retreat and go back to his own house.
Then he saw Zhao Chen running up from behind. Seeing this, he seemed a little anxious.
"Marquis Zhao County, I will congratulate you in advance. On the wedding day, I will go to ask for a wedding wine!" Wei Zheng bowed to Zhao Chen with a smile.
Zhao Chen bowed his hand, which was considered a return gift.
Just as he was about to talk to the emperor, he saw Fang Xuanling coming over and said to him: "Marquis Zhaoxian, the New Year is approaching. If it is not a big deal, don't bother Your Majesty, let Your Majesty have a safe New Year."
"It's not bad news, it's Zhao Chen who has something to ask His Majesty the Emperor to agree." Zhao Chen bowed to Fang Xuanling.
Zhao Chen's words made the ministers even more curious.
What can Zhao Chen do at this time? Please agree to the emperor?
Shouldn’t he waited peacefully to become Li Jing’s son-in-law?
What trouble is going to do?
Li Shimin was also confused and thought that this kid was not waiting to be his son-in-law in the house. What should he do when he came to him at this time?
"Zhao Chen, what do you want me to agree?" Li Shimin said slowly.
Now he is so smart that he definitely dares not agree to Zhao Chen.
No matter how you say it, you must know what Zhao Chen is doing.
"Your Majesty, I want to build another Gewu Department to be responsible for the technical improvement of the Tang Dynasty." Zhao Chen and Li Shimin said.
He had already found a note in his hand, which was something he wrote overnight.
Zhao Chen swears that this is the most serious time he has.
"Gewusi? I have never heard of such a place!" Fang Xuanling shook his head and expressed confusion.
"Zhao Chen, you said that the Gewu Department is for technical improvement work. Why have we never heard of it?" Changsun Wuji frowned.
This guy will be able to go home for a break soon, but Zhao Chen is doing something at this time.
He was always a little annoyed.
"Dare you sure you have heard of horseshoes before?" Zhao Chen asked.
Changsun Wuji looked embarrassed and dared not talk to him.
If it weren't for Li Jing's words, they wouldn't know yet!
"Or, my ministers, who knows that the poisonous salt in those salt mines can also produce edible salt comparable to green salt?"
"Curve plow, trolley, who have you seen it before?"
"Who knew about the eagle claw flying crossbow, who had known it in advance before?" Zhao Chen asked continuously, and there was a silence of elegant birds in the Tai Chi Hall.
These things have been seen before.
If they knew, they would have applied it long ago.
How could I wait for so long?
But the curved plow and trolley that Zhao Chen mentioned just now...
"Your Majesty, this curved plow and trolley, didn't you say before that it was developed by a paradise? Why did the Zhaoxian Hou just say it was..." Changsun Wuji looked at the emperor and asked.
But I already knew it in my heart.
"This... I feel that Zhao Chen is young and has a great reputation, which is not conducive to his growth, so..."
"Actually, the curved plows and trolleys we saw that day were all created by the Marquis of Zhao County!"
"I always thought that he was such a paradise. No wonder His Majesty kept his eyes on Hou Qing in Zhao County!"
"I really didn't expect this to be the Marquis of Zhao County!"
"I really can't behave like a person. I always thought that the Marquis of Zhao County is already capable enough, but this... it seems that I am still watching the sky by the well!"
After receiving the emperor's affirmative answer, the ministers were noisy.
All the eyes of everyone fell on Zhao Chen.
None of them would have thought that the magical things in their eyes were actually from Zhao Chen's hands.
This... is simply too scary!
"Your Majesty, the Jingwu Department is related to the country of the Tang Dynasty. If a group of hard-working people can join the Jingwu Department, it will definitely promote the development of our Tang Dynasty society."
"In the future, we might be able to build iron wheels that run faster than horses, iron birds that fly higher than birds, and iron ships that swim farther than fish."
"Your Majesty doesn't want to take a look. What kind of spectacular scene exists on the faraway sea?" Zhao Chen said slowly.
The officials in the Tai Chi Hall seemed to be trapped in the picture depicted by Zhao Chen.
Everyone's face showed a look of yearning.
Even the emperor himself showed longing for his face at this moment.
Obviously, he was also fantasizing about the scene depicted by Zhao Chen!
"Zhao Chen, what you said is true?" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
The other officials also looked at Zhao Chen.
They have seen enough Zhao Chen's skills in making salt, horseshoes, and even the previous curved plows and trolleys.
The things Zhao Chen said just now seemed to really appear in front of them.
However, some people expressed opposition.
Wei Zheng is a pragmatic guy, and seems to be born with no imagination.
And very stubborn.
Look, I met Zhao Chen again.
"Marquis Zhaoxian, isn't what you have just said?
"In this world, can there be an iron box that can run faster than a horse?"
"Where do we get the iron lumps that are higher than birds flying?"
"And there are iron ships that can swim further than fish?"
"Why have we never heard of it?" Wei Zheng glared at Zhao Chen and accused him without any politeness.
Wei Zheng felt that if Zhao Chen did this, wouldn’t he completely empty the Tang Dynasty’s treasury?
What's wrong with this?
If you have this money, it’s better to do more practical things.
Zhao Chen’s depiction is too beautiful, making people feel particularly unreal.
"Well, something that Dr. Wei has never seen before, so he threatened that it does not exist?"
"Doctor Wei knows the origin of watching the sky in a well?" Zhao Chen said with a faint smile.
This guy Wei Zheng has a very straight-tempered temper.
I didn't treat him badly, and I had thought about asking him to help me fight against Old Li, but this is great, I'm going to fight against myself.
However, Zhao Chen does not have the temper of being calm and composed as Old Li.
"You said I was in a well to observe the sky?" Wei Zheng was so angry now.
Wei Zheng is truly knowledgeable. In this autumn exam, he was also a dignified deputy examiner.
Why did it become a toad that was in the well and was observing the sky when it came to Zhao Chen's mouth?
This is simply outrageous.
Wei Zheng planned to argue with Zhao Chen well.
"Is what I said wrong? Doctor Wei thought before that, can't salt be made in this salt mine?"
"Doctor Wei thought that one day, this war horse could also wear shoes?"
"Since I never thought about it, why did Doctor Wei assert that in the future, there will be no iron blocks that surpass the speed of the war horse, the height of the flying bird, and the depth of the swimming fish?" Zhao Chen just said lightly, without any contempt on his face.
People in this era have not experienced those things, so their thoughts naturally cannot be as good as themselves.
