After having breakfast in the tavern, Uncle Fu happened to come back from Dr. Xue.
After talking to Uncle Fu, Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang went to the Imperial City Works Department together.
Li Ruoshuang still didn't understand. If Zhao Chen didn't find a way to solve the problem of the bookstore, why did he still have time to find Duan Lun, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
After walking for a while, Li Ruoshuang was still a little worried, so he took the initiative to ask: "Zhao Chen, what are we going to find the Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
"And there is also the bookstore where did Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu go?"
"Don't worry, with me here, there will be no problem with the bookstore." Zhao Chen smiled and continued to walk forward.
Li Ruoshuang frowned and wanted to ask the bottom line, but when he saw that Zhao Chen did not reveal what he wanted to say to him when he appeared.
After all, I followed with anxiety.
...
"Your Majesty said in the hall today that the curved plow and the trolley are beneficial to farming, and all their quantities must be increased as soon as possible."
"All craftsmen in the Ministry of Works must complete the tasks on time and in quantity."
In the lobby of the Ministry of Works, Duan Lun said to a work department official in front of him with a serious face.
At this moment, Duan Lun remembered the nine golden dragons that Zhao Chen Diao were deported again. However, after his invitation was rejected by Zhao Chen, he never saw Zhao Chen again.
"Sir, are still thinking about the nine golden dragons?" Someone immediately saw through Duan Lun's thoughts and asked in a low voice.
"That's right, I only saw such a craftsman in my life, but I can't join my Ministry of Works."
"It is really a regret for my Ministry of Works and also a regret for my Tang Dynasty." Duan Lun shook his head and sighed.
He is still thinking about Zhao Chen's craftsmanship.
Only the top craftsman masters can do that kind of craftsmanship.
But it turned out to be a teenager.
And he refused his invitation without hesitation.
"The day before yesterday, I may not know that Zhao Chen, who is the one in Chang'an City, is now the Marquis of Wannian County, my Tang Dynasty."
"Also, he was still in the Tai Chi Hall, and in front of hundreds of officials, he argued in front of him, and Fang Wang gave in to his defeat."
"General Li still wants to accept him as his disciple, but what is even more unbelievable is that the Marquis of Wannian County directly refused." The official of the Ministry of Works shook his head, his face full of shock.
"Fang Xiang admits defeat? Li Jing accepts disciples?" Duan Lun's face changed suddenly.
He didn't know what happened in Chang'an City these days when he left Beijing to do business.
The argument is right, Fang Xuanling admits defeat to a young man?
Li Jing accepted the apprentice, but was even rejected on the spot?
That boy, is he going to go to heaven?
The Ministry of Works nodded.
These news actually shocked them even more than knowing that the nine golden dragons carved by Zhao Chen were coming.
"Sir, many officials from all over the Ministry of Works are actually talking about whether the master mentioned by His Majesty is Zhao Chen."
"After all, except him, we never thought that anyone could have such ability as him." The official of the Ministry of Works shook his head, and a hint of curiosity appeared on his face.
Many of them had seen the nine golden dragons with their own eyes, after all, the emperor had shown off this thing for a long time.
Now I am planning to place it in Tai Chi Hall to replace the dragon bed during the court meeting.
When they saw that chair, they were all experts in the Ministry of Works, so they would naturally think of magical things like curved plows, trolleys, etc.
"I don't know about this. No matter whether it is, your Majesty has never spoken. Don't talk about this anymore." Duan Lun shook his head. Although he agreed with the statements of the Ministry of Works in front of him, he was not allowed to discuss the matter again.
Whether Zhao Chen is that expert or not has much to do with them.
If they are angry with the emperor because they are talking nonsense behind their backs, this is what really kills them.
"Yes, sir!" The Ministry of Works nodded, thinking about going out to do things, when he saw the two of them walking into the hall.
When I looked up, I saw that it was Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang.
"Mr. County Hou!" The Ministry of Works officials greeted Zhao Chen.
Although Zhao Chen has no official status, he is a title.
The county marquis is a third-rank official, and there is only the Minister of Works, so you don’t have to pay tribute to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen held his fists and returned the greeting, which surprised the officials of the Ministry of Works a little.
Looking at what Zhao Chen did in the court that day, some young people were in a singular and arrogant manner.
But today I will take the initiative to return the gift...
"Shangshu Duan, come here for good health." Zhao Chen walked to Duan Lun and bowed to him.
Li Ruoshuang also saluted and then stood aside.
Duan Lun was unexpected about Zhao Chen's sudden appearance.
After all, I was still talking about Zhao Chen just now.
"Zhaoxian Hou, a rare guest, please sit down quickly. General Li, please sit down too."
"Come and have tea with you two!"
Duan Lun and the two returned the gift, invited them to sit down and asked the people outside to send tea.
The three of them sat down and took a sip of tea.
"But not seeing each other for two months, Zhao Chen, you are already my marquis of Datang County, and your future is limitless." Duan Lun looked at Zhao Chen, his eyes full of surprise.
Two months ago, he went to Zhao Chen's tavern. At that time, Zhao Chen was just an unknown little person.
But seeing you today, Zhao Chen has become a county marquis.
It's only two months.
"Don't laugh at me, I'm just lucky." Zhao Chen shook his head and said with a smile.
Seeing that Zhao Chen was so humble, Duan Lun had completely dissipated when he went to the tavern before.
Besides, Duan Lun was the first to speak rudely last time.
"Marquis Zhao County, I hope I don't take what happened before to my heart." Duan Lun stood up and bowed to Zhao Chen.
"What is Duan Shangshu saying? What's wrong with Duan Shangshu being devoted to the country? Moreover, today Zhao Chen came to ask Duan Shangshu for help." Zhao Chen supported Duan Lun and explained his purpose.
Duan Lun was stunned.
I don't understand what Zhao Chen meant just now.
I don't know what to say now.
After all, if Zhao Chen asked him to do something inappropriate, he would not be able to respond in full.
Zhao Chen naturally knew Duan Lun’s concerns and smiled and said, “I want to invite a few skilled craftsmen to go back and help make some small things.”
"Of course, if there is any need in the future, Duan Shangshu can also find me. As long as he has the ability, Zhao Chen will definitely not refuse."
Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Duan Lun smiled only on his face.
He likes to deal with smart people.
Of course there is no problem with borrowing a few craftsmen to help. Besides, Zhao Chen also said that he could do himself a favor in the future.
Duan Lun instantly thought of Zhao Chen's magical craftsmanship, but he shook his head secretly.
It’s Zhao Chen who is willing to teach, but who can understand the current Ministry of Works?
This opportunity will definitely be wasted by then.
"Horse of Zhao County is polite. Let's go, I'll take you to see what kind of craftsman you need. You can take it away directly." Duan Lun stood up with a happy face, pulled Zhao Chen's arm and walked out.
...
"Sir Shangshu!"
"Hello, Lord Shangshu!"
"Sir, are you here today, do you have important instructions?"
As soon as Zhao Chen and his other two entered the craftsman of the Ministry of Works, a craftsman and Duan Lun frequently greeted him on the way.
Many people also looked at Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang, but everyone thought they were the noble children who came to play with Duan Lun.
