Datang: The Craziest Scholar System

Chapter 37: Obstacles to Promoting the Watering Can

"That's natural! My son is talented and intelligent! Isn't it easy to invent Quyuanli?"

Chang Sun Chong was very proud, and said brashly: "To tell you the truth, my daily sales here are this amount!"

As he spoke, he made an "eight" gesture.

"Eight thousand guan?!"

Cheng Chu was shocked.

Qin Huaiyu silently glanced at his good friend, showing an expression of caring for children.

No matter how you say it, Quyuanli is just an ordinary farm tool, and the price will not be too expensive. Even if there are more people who buy it, it will end at the end of a thousand per day.

But Cheng Chumo directly guessed eight thousand...

Is this guy for real, or does he have no idea about money?
Chang Sun Chong was also silent for a while, and paused insignificantly compared to "Eight"'s hand.

Eight thousand guan?
It is clearly eight hundred guan!

You must know that His Majesty Li Er didn't think about making money at all, it was purely for promotion, so the price was set very low.

But looking at Cheng Chumo's shocked expression, Chang Sun Chong felt refreshed and blurted out:
"That's right! It's eight thousand guan!"

Cheng Chumo's eyes widened, and he stood still.

He silently calculated in his heart, how much is eight thousand coins...

But in the eyes of Chang Sun Chong, it was clearly a sign of being too shocked to speak.

"How about it, do you know how powerful this young master is?"

Chang Sun Chong was even more proud, and showed off to Cheng Chumo: "Eight thousand guan a day, [-] thousand guan in a month! Can you earn so much money a month? Hahaha you can't! You can only take what your father gave you. Spent all my pocket money!"

Cheng Chumo gritted his teeth and said: "You wait for me, who said I can't?!"

Qin Huaiyu glanced at Changsun Chong silently, this guy can really pretend.

It suddenly occurred to him that there might be a reason for these two people not to deal with each other.

After all, IQ is on the same level.

He didn't want to stay any longer, so he dragged Cheng Chumo away.

After renting out the shop, I have to buy pig iron and other materials for Su Yun.

"Hey Huaiyu, don't pull me, I want this guy to know..."

Cheng Chumo was dragged away by Qin Huaiyu involuntarily.

"Let's go! Brother Huaiyu, and brother Chumo who can't make any money!"

Chang Sun Chong waved goodbye to the two with meaningful smiles on his face.

As if to say, Cheng Chumo, you are not as good as me.

Cheng Chumo was about to explode, and said as he walked, "Huaiyu, let's follow what Miss Hongdou said, and make this kid look good right away!"

On the other side, His Majesty Li Er happily returned to the palace.

He immediately summoned Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and gave him the schematic diagram of the watering can drawn by Su Yun.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Yan Lide froze for a moment, looking at the densely packed annotations on the drawings, he was a little dazed.

He had never seen such a strange thing.

Li Shimin said with relief: "This is a watering can, which can improve the utilization rate of water during watering."

After all, Yan Lide is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Under Li Shimin's reminder, he compared the schematic diagram of the watering can, and quickly understood the purpose of this thing.

His expression was a little excited, "This is a sacred item! With this item, the waste of water can be greatly reduced! If it is promoted nationwide..."

Yan Lide was speechless, he didn't dare to imagine how much sensation this thing would cause.

His Majesty Li Er nodded with satisfaction: "I ask you, how long will it take for the Ministry of Industry to promote this product to the whole country?"

Yan Lide thought for a while, "If the time is not urgent, the promotion can be completed within one year."

"No, a year is too long." Li Shimin shook his head.

Yan Lide hesitated and said, "If it's urgent, like Quyuanli, it can be promoted nationwide in about half a year."

Today's Quyuanli is in the process of popularization, Chang'an and major counties and counties have already been promoted, and it will be popularized nationwide in a few months.

"Then what if the Ministry of Industry does its best?"

Li Shimin was still not satisfied.

Yan Lide's eyelids twitched, but he still replied truthfully: "It will take two months."

"That's too late."

His Majesty Li Er sighed.

"That's too late?"

Yan Lide froze for a moment.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Yan Lide, I order you to use all the resources of the Ministry of Industry to manufacture this thing. You must spread the watering can to the whole country within a month! At the same time, the rivers in the country must be unimpeded to ensure smooth water transportation! "

As long as the watering can is popularized, if the water is transported through the river, the cultivation of the people can be guaranteed!
"Your Majesty, no!"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Lide's complexion changed drastically.

Using all the resources of the Ministry of Industry is no joke.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for all aspects of the Tang Dynasty, including palace construction, repairs, farming, salt ponds, agricultural tools, water conservancy and so on.

It can be said that every resource of the Ministry of Industry has a place to be used.

But now His Majesty Li Er said that all resources should be used to build this little thing?

"why not?"

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows, "I tell you, this thing can fight severe drought! We must hurry up!"

"Recently, the weather is sunny and there is no severe drought. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Yan Lide shook his head again and again.

Promotion is fine, but he does not agree to stop other matters to promote this product.

"An expert told me that the day is warm and the night is cold, and the night wind is blowing, and the thunder is endless in the dry sky. This is a sign of a severe drought!"

Li Shimin said meaningfully: "Recently, the natural phenomena in various places have all come true, so there will be a severe drought soon."

"This is nonsense, Your Majesty cannot listen to rumors!"

Yan Lide shook his head, "So what if it all comes true? There has never been a similar record before!"

"I can guarantee that what this person said is true."

Li Shimin's face darkened, his words were a little impatient.

Yan Lide suddenly asked: "May I ask Your Majesty, what is the identity of this expert? How old is he?"

"Little scholar, I am 17 years old this year."

"Your Majesty, you actually believe the words of a child with a yellow mouth?"

Yan Lide was stunned.

Li Shimin got angry, "Are you questioning my decision?"

Regarding Su Yun, he was unwilling to explain too much, after all, it was related to Princess Pingyao who was living outside.

"Your Majesty, the old minister dare not!"

"It's just that you know how far the Ministry of Industry is involved, and the veteran will never agree to it!"

Yan Lide went all out. Not only farming is related to people's livelihood, but every aspect of the Ministry of Industry is related to people's livelihood. He absolutely cannot let His Majesty Li Er behave like this.

"you……"

Li Shimin's chest heaved violently, obviously very angry.

"Otherwise, you will kill the old minister!"

Yan Lide stiffened his neck, and looked at His Majesty Li Er stubbornly.

Li Shimin sighed, Yan Lide is a loyal minister, every word and deed is for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, so it is naturally impossible for him to kill Yan Lide.

But time is running out, spring has come, he must seize every minute and every second, not to delay the spring planting!

After all, this is the foundation of the country!
At this moment, His Majesty Li Er's decisiveness as a king was revealed!

He waved his hand, "Wang De, draft an order!"

Eunuch Wang De stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
