Chapter 215 It is really a pity for my Ministry of Industry
After having breakfast in the tavern, Uncle Fu happened to be back from Doctor Xue.
After talking to Uncle Fu, Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang went to the Imperial City Ministry of Industry together.
Li Ruoshuang still didn't understand how Zhao Chen still had time to find Duan Lun, Minister of Industry, if he didn't think of a solution to the bookstore's problem.
After walking for a while, Li Ruoshuang was still a little worried, so she took the initiative to ask: "Zhao Chen, why should we go to the Minister of Industry?"
"And over at the bookstore, where did Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu go?"
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems in the bookstore as long as I'm here." Zhao Chen smiled and continued walking forward.
Li Ruoshuang frowned and wanted to get to the bottom of it, but saw that Zhao Chen didn't express his intention to talk to him now.
Finally, I followed him full of worry.
…
"Your Majesty said in the palace today that the curved shaft plow and the barrel cart are beneficial to farming, and their quantity must be increased as soon as possible."
"All craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry must complete tasks on time and in quantity."
In the lobby of the Ministry of Industry, Duan Lun spoke to an official from the Ministry of Industry in front of him with a serious face.
At this moment, Duan Lun thought of the nine golden dragons of Zhao Chendiao again, but after his invitation was rejected by Zhao Chen, he never saw Zhao Chen again.
"Your Excellency, are you still thinking about the nine golden dragons?" Someone immediately saw through Duan Lun's thoughts and asked in a low voice.
"Isn't that right? I have only seen that kind of carving skills in my life, but such a craftsman cannot be admitted to our Ministry of Industry."
"It's really a pity for our Ministry of Industry and a pity for the Tang Dynasty." Duan Lun shook his head and sighed.
He still thinks about Zhao Chen's craftsmanship to this day.
That kind of carving art can only be achieved by the top master craftsmen.
By chance, it turned out to be a young man.
And he refused his invitation without hesitation.
"Your Majesty was not in Chang'an City the day before yesterday, so you may not know that the Zhao Chen whom you have spoken of is now the Marquis of Wannian County in the Tang Dynasty."
"Moreover, he was still in the Taiji Hall, in front of hundreds of officials, making head-on policy and debate decisions, and the prime minister admitted defeat personally."
"General Li also wanted to accept him as his disciple, but what is even more unbelievable is that Wannian County Marquis refused directly." The official from the Ministry of Industry shook his head, his face full of shock.
"Fang Xiang surrenders? Li Jing accepts a disciple?" Duan Lun's expression suddenly changed.
He didn't even know what happened in Chang'an during the days when he was out of the capital on business.
When the policy was debated correctly, Fang Xuanling surrendered to a young man?
Li Jing accepted a disciple, but was rejected on the spot?
That kid, are you going to heaven?
The Ministry of Industry official nodded.
This news actually shocked them even more than knowing about the nine golden dragons carved by Zhao Chen.
"Sir, many officials of the Ministry of Industry, big and small, are actually discussing whether the master your Majesty is talking about is Zhao Chen."
"After all, apart from him, we can't think of anyone else who can have such abilities as him." The official from the Ministry of Industry shook his head, with a hint of curiosity on his face.
Many of them had seen the nine golden dragons with their own eyes. After all, the emperor had been showing off these things for a long time.
Now it is planned to be placed in Taiji Hall to replace the dragon couch during court meetings.
When they saw the chair, they, the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, were all experts, and they would naturally think of magical things like the curved shaft plow and the barrel cart.
"I don't know about this matter. Regardless of whether it is true or not, His Majesty has never spoken. Please don't discuss this matter any more." Duan Lun shook his head. Although he somewhat agreed with the statement of the Ministry of Industry official in front of him, he did not allow anyone else to discuss this matter.
As soon as Zhao Chen and the others entered the craftsmen's place in the Ministry of Industry, there were craftsmen greeting Duan Lun on the way.
Many people also looked at Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang, but they only thought they were noble children who came to play with Duan Lun.
