Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

After Zhu Neng and the others got the blueprint and requirements given by Chen Chu, they all showed their talents and patted their chests to promise.

"Boss, don't worry, we people, even if we are looking for someone to draw, we have to draw what you want..."

Zhu Neng said solemnly.

Chen Chu asked: "Old Zhu, don't joke with me, are you sure you can get it out?"

Zhu Neng said: "Boss, I used to work as an apprentice in printing, and I am very good at printing. Besides, this matter can't be done by just a few of us. I have already thought about it. Let's hire those trustworthy printers. , if they do this, they will definitely meet the requirements of the boss."

Chen Chu couldn't help being a little surprised.

Good guy.

I have been thinking about it for so long below, and I feel that it is very difficult.

Didn't expect Lao Zhu to be so confident?

It seems that the wisdom of the ancient working people should not be underestimated.

Chen Chu said happily: "Since that's the case, hurry up and prepare for this matter. After half a month, I will see the printed things."

"Yes, boss."

Under the leadership of Chen Chu, Zhu Neng and his group have become Datang's first professional scientific research team. Everyone was very excited to hear that there was something new.

Chen Chu watched several people leave, smiled, and said, "It seems that my plan for banknotes has to be advanced."

……

Chapter 251 Harvest Potatoes

a few days later.

Chen Chu waited intently for the news from Zhu Neng and others.

This morning, as soon as Chen Chu woke up, he saw Zhu Neng and the others standing at the door of the villa in unison, with solemn expressions on their faces, as if they had encountered a big event.

Curious, Chen Chu stepped forward and asked, "Old Zhu, what's the matter with you? It seems that you are not in a good mood. Which relative died?"

Everyone buried their heads low.

Nobody spoke.

Especially Zhu Neng, who didn't even dare to look into Chen Chu's eyes.

Chen Chu asked, "Did something happen to the cement plant?"

"The ice factory exploded?"

"still……"

One by one remained silent.

Chen Chu was annoyed at once, and said angrily: "Aren't you all dumb, don't you talk, get out, get out from Chang'an City, I, Chen Chu, never want to see you."

This is equivalent to driving people away completely.

When Zhu Neng and the others heard this, they immediately panicked.

Zhu Neng raised his head hastily, and stammered, "Old...boss, don't drive us away, we don't want to leave..."

"Talk if you don't want to leave!" Chen Chu roared angrily.

Then Zhu Neng said cautiously: "Boss, I'm sorry, we failed your expectations. We couldn't print that thing. We found the best printer in Chang'an City and tested it for no less than a hundred times. Finally, we were convinced that What you want can’t be printed out, boss, I’m not able to do things well, you can punish us, but don’t drive us away, we want to follow you, we can be cattle and horses for the rest of our lives..."

Thinking of the sworn promises made before.

Everyone's face was full of shame.

Chen Chu was suddenly happy, and asked, "Can't it be printed?"

"Ok!"

Chen Chu asked again: "Because of this, you all blame yourself?"

Zhu Neng nodded.

"Do you think this is all your fault?" Chen Chu asked again.

Zhu Neng nodded and said, "Boss, it's because I'm incompetent and stupid."

Chen Chu shouted unhappily: "Shit..."

"what……"

Seeing Chen Chu get angry, Zhu Neng and others all raised their heads in surprise.

I just heard Chen Chu say: "Let me tell you, scientific research, there is nothing that can be achieved for certain. Some things are limited by objective factors, which is impossible to do. Can one bite become a fat man? One step can achieve it." My God? You guys, after following me for a while, you swelled up and thought you could handle everything in the world, but now you hit a wall...I can tell you responsibly that it is not your problem that the printing is not possible, but It's another problem... But don't be discouraged, if you can't do it now, you can do it in the future. If those printers can't do it, it proves that the printing technology is not good. Lao Zhu, if this is the case, this is your chance. Why don't you do it yourself? How about studying printing technology..."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

The eyes of Zhu Neng and others lit up.

Zhu Neng slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Yes, the boss is right, why don't we study printing technology by ourselves."

"Yes, the boss woke us up with a word, not only the printing technology, but also the ink, we have studied it together."

"Boss, let's go back and continue our research."

"Printing has a lot to offer."

All the old men were very excited.

Seeing this, Chen Chu asked, "Is it not uncomfortable now? Are you not confused?"

Zhu Neng showed an embarrassed smile: "Boss, it's all right now, let's go back and continue to study until we can print this thing..."

In order to keep it secret, Chen Chu didn't tell everyone that this was the banknote to replace Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Even if you say it, no one will believe it.

After all, Kaiyuan Tongbao is also made of copper, and copper can be sold for money.

But banknotes are really just a piece of paper.

When Zhu Neng waited for someone to come, he was downcast, like a rooster who has lost a fight.

But when he went back, he was full of fighting spirit.

The reason lies in Chen Chu's few words.

……

at the same time.

Royal Palace.

To the north of Tai Chi Palace.

There is an open space with an area of ​​more than ten acres.

The land is very flat and fertile.

Here, it was a vegetable garden used by the royal family before, and all the vegetables grown were for the royal family.

But more than half a year ago, all the vegetables here were leveled.

More than ten mu of land was handed over to the central general for use.

There is only one way to use it, and that is to grow potatoes.

Now is the harvest time.

early morning.

The sun rises.

The mist has not dissipated.

Beside the open space, many people have already gathered.

Look carefully, all of them are ministers of the fifth rank and above.

The ones standing at the forefront are the pillars of the court, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Gao Shilian...

Each of them was a big guy, dressed in new clothes, with beaming expressions on his face.

Changsun Wuji said: "Today is really a great joy for my Tang Dynasty."

"Master Changsun is right, it is worthy of congratulations!"

"The potatoes that are planted are about to be harvested!"

"From now on, my Tang Dynasty will no longer be short of food."

"As long as the food problem can be solved, the people will be rich and the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous. Back then, His Majesty wanted to go west to Korea many times, but we all discouraged him. The biggest reason was the food problem."

"Once a war is fought, not only will it consume troops, but the biggest cost will be food."

The people present basically participated in the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

The suffering at that time is vivid.

In troubled times, the greatest danger is not the confrontation of swords, nor the cruelty of war.

Instead, there is no food to eat.

The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster in a thousand miles.

Many people starved to death because of lack of food.

Today, potatoes are about to be harvested.

A fetish that yields a thousand catties per mu!

From then on, Datang will no longer be short of food.

From then on, Datang will go forward indomitable.

Those present are honored.

Datang, I am proud of you.

While everyone was discussing, a young eunuch shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty is here!"

Everyone turned their heads in unison, only to see a dragon chariot being carried towards this side.

After stopping, Li Er couldn't wait to get down, holding the hand of Empress Changsun.

Only at particularly important moments or occasions will Li Er and Empress Changsun appear together.

Everyone understood that His Majesty Li Er must attach great importance to today's potato harvest.

I saw Li Er leading the eldest grandson queen to come forward, and then asked: "Where is Huang Aiqing?"

An old man hurried forward and bowed, "My lord, see Your Majesty, see the Queen."

This person is the general supervisor, Huang Shiren.

Huang Shiren is in charge of the general supervisor, responsible for the manufacture of various advanced things throughout the Tang Dynasty, and also provides improvements to the army's equipment, which can be said to be deeply favored by Li Er.

Therefore, when Chen Chu presented the potato seeds last year, Li Er immediately arranged for people to put the seeds in the ancestral temple for worship. Come grow potatoes because he knows farming.Before entering Chang'an, Huang Shiren had been in charge of persuading farmers and mulberry in the local area. He had solid experience in agricultural planting, and the persuasion tax he wrote at the beginning was also appreciated by Li Er.

The whole court thought that there was no one more suitable for growing potatoes than Huang Shiren.

Li Er then ordered Huang Shiren to plant potatoes with all his strength.

Now, half a year has passed.

At last it was time for a good harvest.

Li Er looked at Huang Shiren and asked, "Huang Aiqing, I asked you to report the situation of the potatoes to me every half a month. You have been doing very well. According to your report, the potatoes have been growing very well, right? ?”

Huang Shiren said excitedly: "Your Majesty, it is like this. I have brought a group of people and have never left here. I have been staring at the planting of potatoes. I also used my previous experience in persuading farmers to plant mulberry. I found that these The growth of potatoes is much better than what Chen Chu planted before. I saw the potatoes planted by Chen Chu at the beginning, and they only grew to half the height of the knees, but some of the potatoes I planted grew to half the height of the waist. I can assure you, These potatoes must be very good!"

"Wow……"

"Better looking than Chen Chu's?"

"Half waist high?"

"As expected of being a general supervisor, the experience in this kind of place is indeed very rich."

Changsun Wuji looked at Huang Shiren, rubbed his hands together excitedly, and said, "Master Huang, the potatoes that Chen Chu planted in earthen pots at the beginning yielded a thousand catties per mu. Now, since your potatoes are so good, I'm afraid they can yield two pounds per mu." A thousand catties is not a problem."

"Yes, in this way, the production of potatoes will definitely increase."
