Chapter 830: Returning to the Dock, Seeking Diamonds)
In the Tai Chi Hall, Luo Zhang's sonorous and powerful words made everyone feel at ease. If they really got potato powder, they would be the ones who benefited, and most people would naturally side with Luo Zhang.
"Your Majesty, since Luo Zhang said so, we can only wait for one day at most!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, just wait for one day. If Luo Zhang's words are true, the trouble of this potato will be solved!"
"Well, what you said makes sense. Come here, take Luo Zhang's potato flour and dry it according to Luo Zhang's instructions. We'll see what happens tomorrow!" Li Shimin ordered in agreement.
Eunuch Huang hurriedly stepped forward to take the cotton cloth held by Mr. Luo, and then stepped aside.
"Your Majesty, although potatoes can be made into potato powder, it cannot solve the fundamental problem!" Luo Zhang said again!
"What do you mean?" Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, you can grow potatoes, but you can't grow them blindly. The land should be mainly based on grain!" Luo Zhang suggested.
On the side, the Minister of Household Affairs nodded in agreement and said: "Fortunately, Luo Shilang came up with a solution this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Your Majesty, I agree with Luo Shilang's opinion!"
Li Shimin pondered for a while and said: "This is confirmed, of course, everything depends on whether it can become potato powder tomorrow!"
Seeing this, Luo Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. He had never expected that potato cultivation would be so crazy. With so many potatoes, there would be a lot of potato flour, not to mention vermicelli, which the people of the Tang Dynasty would have to eat for the next year.
I have vermicelli, but it’s not a bad thing. It’s good to be full these days. The Tang Dynasty has not yet reached the kind of life where everyone is full after every meal!
After the potato problem was solved, Luo Zhang didn't say anything anymore. He didn't dare to be in the limelight anymore. As the saying goes, if you shoot the first bird, you are too pushy. Changsun Wuji was not the only one who wanted to attack him, but a group of people attacked him!
Fortunately, most of the remaining issues were innocuous matters, and Luo Zhang did not need to participate.
After all, he had just returned from the war, and nothing big could happen at the moment, so Luo Zhang was enjoying his leisure time.
When the court meeting ended and they walked out of the hall, everyone came to Luo Zhang one after another and asked about the potato powder!
Luo Zhang patiently answered them one by one. It was a joke. This was the time to win over people and let him be favored by him. Even if he didn't help him in the future, he wouldn't be in trouble!
Changsun Wuji walked out of the hall and couldn't help but snorted softly when he saw this scene, and walked out with his people.
Seeing how confident Luo Zhang was, Changsun Wuji knew that Luo Zhang had escaped disaster again this time!
Luo Zhang naturally discovered Changsun Wuji, with a smile on his face. Thinking of the day when he went to find Changsun Wuji with the old poisonous man, his nodding and bowing look was so funny.
After leaving the palace, Luo Zhang went to the Dockyard Department. The director of the Dockyard Department was still in his name. Li Shimin had not given this position to anyone else. It was not that he did not want to give it, but that no one was qualified for this position.
As soon as we entered the Dockyard Department, a bunch of old guys gathered around us, with tears in their eyes, as if they were seeing their relatives.
However, the next moment, these old guys began to criticize Luo Zhang for being a high official now, ignoring them, and not visiting them for so long!
This made Luo Zhang a little embarrassed. Indeed, as his official position became higher and higher, the Dockyard Department did not take much care of him!
Of course, Luo Zhang has not forgotten in his heart that he also wants to build a high-sea ship. If he can build a high-sea ship, he would like to go out to see the vast world.
"Okay, this matter is my fault, and I am here to apologize to you!" Luo Zhang said and bowed.
Now instead, a bunch of old guys looked at each other, hurriedly supporting Luo Zhang and waving their hands to stop him, stop him!
Under the respectful welcome of a group of old guys, Luo Zhang came to the office where he had only stayed for a few days after it was built!
"These days, how many problems of ships on the high seas are still unsolved?" Luo Zhang asked.
Although he did not come here, he still left some problems for them to solve. Only when these problems are solved can the construction of high-sea ships be started. Otherwise, energy, manpower and material resources will be wasted!
Hearing Luo Zhang's inquiry, a group of old guys started chattering again.
"Master Luo, the problem of the keel has been solved. With the giant wood you brought back from Shu, building a large sea ship will not be a problem at all!"
"Mr. Luo, we have also thought of a solution to the sail issue, and we are currently solving it. The results will be available soon!"
"Master Luo, the ones on the deck are also..."
"Lord Luo..."
Looking at the old guys who spoke enthusiastically, Luo Zhang was very pleased. He didn't expect them, but they didn't forget their responsibilities!
"Okay, you have done a good job, I will ask the court to give you a reward! Not only will the court give you a reward, I will also give you a reward!" Luo Zhang said with a smile.
After hearing Luo Zhang's words, all the old guys' faces smiled as brightly as chrysanthemums.
Who doesn't like money? Luo Zhang also wants to motivate them. Otherwise, people will be depressed and doubtful about life if their long-term hard work is not recognized. Luo Zhang has no time to care about this place. The design and construction of high-sea ships have to rely on them. If they don't give
Their rewards are unjustifiable.
After discussing the ship design issues with a group of old guys for nearly an hour, Luo Zhangcai and Wu Shaobin left the Dockyard Department and went straight to the Craftsman Supervisor!
Naturally, I came here to reward and compensate those old guys!
I heard from the old guys that since Luo Zhang went on the expedition, their wages were the same as before, pitifully small, or even not paid at all. Luo Zhang didn't say anything at the time, he just said he would help them get it back, but in his heart, Yan Liben was already worried.
The second brother Yan Lide scolded him so much that he actually played the trick of being obedient to him. How brave he was!
As soon as Luo Zhang came outside the gate of the craftsman's prison, many people saw him, and they were all surprised. They must know that Luo Zhang's current status in the Dao is out of reach for them.
But a few days ago, Luo Zhang was almost the same as them. He was so annoying when compared with others.
Some people hurriedly came forward to greet Luo Zhang. In any case, Luo Zhang is now a marquis. As long as Luo Zhang can take care of him a little, he will be a big thick leg to them!
Of course, some people ran towards the craftsman's prison as soon as they saw Luo Zhang.
"Master Yan, Master Yan, it's not good, it's not good, Luo Zhang, Master Luo is here!" The messenger shouted as he ran.
This voice made the entire craftsman supervisor explode.
Who doesn’t know Luo Zhang? Who can forget the earth-shaking person who turned the craftsman into a supervisor?
When they heard that Luo Zhang was coming, more people put down what they were doing and ran towards the door, wanting to see Luo Zhang.
When Yan Liben heard from his subordinates that Luo Zhang was here, his heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively felt that Luo Zhang's coming here must be up to no good!
