Datang: Valkyrie chat group

things, lost in the dust of history.

The method of frying steel has disappeared, the columbine cart has disappeared, and the brilliance of the wisdom of many ancestors is gone. Only those corps that have been brilliant in the past silently guard the lost brilliant.

Thinking of this, Tang Feng felt a little heavy in his heart.

This is exactly when he faced those... barbarian peoples in the north, he never had any mercy, because, in the deepest part of the ground, how many... Han souls paid attention to all of this.

"This is..."

Noticing the change in Tang Feng's expression, Mou Xin's curiosity multiplied in his heart, and he asked.

All along, he has never paid too much attention to... this big tool workshop. Now, it is possible to make such a change in this... Lord Hou. If you think about it, this artifact must have a different response.

"Your Majesty, Chief Manager, this is a columbine cart, and it is a farming tool for ditching and sowing. It can sow nearly a thousand acres of arable land in a day, and..."

The matter of the big workshop turned around and talked about this farm tool.

Mu Xin was stunned when he heard that.

Food is the most important thing for the people. For 990 dynasties, farming has been regarded as greater than the sky. The spring planting must be sacrificed, and the autumn harvest must be sacrificed. At that time, the emperor and queen will personally go to the fields to cultivate, although it is said that there is an element of show in it Mostly, but it cannot be denied that in this barbarous age, the importance of farming is important.

In today's Tang Dynasty, when farmers sow seeds, they still sow the seeds by hand. Not to mention the low efficiency, it will also cause great waste. Often, half of the harvested grains of the year are reserved for sowing the next year, and the seeds are used for sowing. After germination and growing into a plant, everyone gathers together and competes with each other for water, sunlight and nutrients. Moreover, there is another problem that cannot be solved, that is, weeding cannot be done.

But now, hearing the words of the manager of the tool workshop, Mu Xin can imagine that if this farm tool is popularized in the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely be a great contribution.

Tang Feng smiled slightly, he had even imagined what kind of scene it would cause if this chariot appeared in Daming Palace.

In the past, when he made Quyuanli, he shocked many bigwigs in the court. Not only did he refute the British Duke Li Ji in one fell swoop, but also many civil officials challenged him in the court, and he also won the fight of many bigwigs. , and was appointed as the official position of Dali Temple. Now, if this columbine chariot is placed in Daming Palace, what will happen?

Chapter 623: Omnipotent

"Well done, this farm tool will surely bring Datang's agricultural development to a higher level."

Tang Wang smiled and said something.

As these words fell, the faces of those craftsmen were full of excitement.

For a long time, they have all been able to see Tang Feng's emphasis on and devotion to this big tool workshop. However, compared to other workshops that continuously create wealth, their situation is always a little bit different. Awkward.

From the eyes of many people, they can also find this point.

The owner has extraordinary skills, how can they be willing to bear such criticism, let alone let down the trust that Lord Hou has placed in them.

Now, with the appearance of columbine vehicles, they have finally proved themselves.

Coming out of the tool workshop, Tang Feng entered the glass workshop again.

As soon as I stepped into it, I was greeted with a fiery breath.

As far as the eye can see, hundreds of craftsmen, shirtless, are busy beside the huge furnace, each of them is sweating profusely.

Under Tang Feng's gaze, a huge piece of glass came out of the furnace, and then moved to the side for final cooling.

"How is this large piece of glass produced recently?"

Tang Feng walked up and asked the manager of the glass workshop.

The windows of Datang are still generally made of window paper. Seeing the big glass just out of the oven, Tang Feng thought about when it could be applied to the glass windows.

If glass windows can be used instead of window paper, not only in terms of lighting, the effect will be much better, but more importantly, in terms of airtightness, window paper is completely incomparable.

Now that Changle's delivery is imminent, Tang Feng thought, first replace it with Anyang.

Although the weather in May and June, the days are getting warmer and warmer every day, but women are the weakest when they are in the confinement period, and they are even more afraid of the wind. If this glass window can be replaced, it will be could be much better.

For...Changle, Tang Feng has the most pity.

However, due to various reasons, the two people who are in love with each other can't form a marriage in the end.

Now, Changle is alone in Anyang and is about to give birth, Tang Feng naturally hopes to do his best in every aspect to ensure that Changle can give birth to this child safely.

"Master Hou, the production of this large piece of glass is no longer serious, and there are fewer and fewer damaged ones. However, there are still some problems in terms of firmness, and even some glass, in the process of cooling, will shatter on its own."

The steward of the glass workshop frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally said it.

Hearing this, Tang Feng's face showed a thoughtful expression.

As a person of later generations, although he has never fired glass, he is quite proficient in the theory. The problem of the strength of the glass is that it will shatter by itself. It must be that the stress in it has not been completely eliminated.

Firing glass means adding all other ingredients to the raw materials, firing and condensing, and finally, after the structure stabilizes, annealing and cooling. If the annealing is not good, the stress inside the glass cannot be completely eliminated, and such a phenomenon may occur. Condition.

Afterwards, Tang Feng asked the steward a few questions and expressed his thoughts.

As for the stress that Tang Feng said, the manager didn't understand what it meant, but the general meaning was already understood, and soon, he went to give orders.

Behind Tang Feng, Zhao Ping, Zhen Ping and others looked at the way his master Hou was talking, with admiration in his eyes.

They have been by Tang Feng's side for the longest time. After this long time, they found that their... Lord Hou is omnipotent, and there seems to be nothing he doesn't understand.

After leaving the glass workshop, Tang Feng entered the paper workshop again.

After several expansions, the scale of the paper mill can be said to be the largest among them.

This kind of soft paper with soft texture and low price has been favored by many dignitaries since it first came out, especially those...women, who have almost been inseparable from the demand for soft paper.

"Master Hou, the soft paper produced every day in this paper mill has already reached hundreds of thousands of people.

Ten thousand, but it is still not enough, now, there is no room for further expansion.”

Mu Xin smiled wryly, and said behind Tang Feng.

Tang Feng smiled and nodded.

Soft paper, after all, is a consumable, and it is a one-time consumable, so it is naturally the largest in demand.

There is a saying in later generations, people always say that women's money is best earned.

In the past, he didn't have a deep understanding of this sentence, but now it seems that it is not unreasonable.

Let's just say that among the... industries under his command, the most profitable one is the paper mill.

Just the monthly profit that the paper mill brings to the Marquis Mansion is... a very scary figure.

At this moment, a new idea popped up in Tang Feng's mind.

He owns these.....industries, whatever....

Whether it is tea, white wine, soft paper, or glass, they can only be said to be necessities of life. In later generations, the most profitable business will definitely not be these necessities of life, but luxuries.

Thinking of the price of a small bag and a small bottle of perfume in later generations... tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, how much profit will there be...

Tang Feng doesn't want things like bags for the time being, but when it comes to perfume, there is definitely a future.

Let's just talk about those...... noble women in Chang'an City, and women from many aristocratic families in Guanzhong, they definitely don't have much... immunity to such things.

Wandering around the workshop, Tang Feng already had a general understanding of Nuonuo's in his heart.

If you want to start the cross-time and space transaction with Qi Jiguang, you must establish a new workshop before that, otherwise, it will be difficult to continue because of the limited production.

The sky gradually darkened.

Tang Feng left the rubble workshop, and by the way, he also brought out the columbine cart made by the big tool workshop. This agricultural tool came out again, so he naturally wanted to let it play a role and change it.

On the way, without any delay, Tang Feng went directly to the mansion.

Just back to the mansion, there are already people waiting for me in the mansion.

Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, and Changsun Wuji were sitting there drinking tea, and beside them, Tang Gui, the housekeeper, was standing there.

Seeing Tang Feng enter the door, Tang Gui smiled wryly.

Seeing these three bosses, Tang Feng already vaguely guessed what they were doing.

Chapter 624: The relatives kiss themselves

"Today, His Majesty summoned us into the palace, saying that the problem of collecting food and grass from the west has been resolved. Your Majesty is looking for you for this matter!"

Seeing Tang Feng enter the door, Chen Shuda put down the tea bowl in his hand and said.

At the same time, Changsun Wuji and Pei Ji beside him also looked in Tang Feng's direction.

Tang Feng didn't see what these big guys meant for a while.

According to common sense, some people are willing to subsidize the food and grass for the imperial court's westward expedition. As important officials in the court, these bigwigs should be very happy, but Tang Feng can't see any joy from the plain expressions of these people.

"Uncle, this morning, His Majesty called me into the palace and talked about the Western Expedition. The Kucha Kingdom dared to violate the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, and must be punished severely. If it is too late, there may be changes. Now, as the chief official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I Naturally, I wanted to share the worries of His Majesty, so I took out thirty thousand coins."

Temporarily unable to figure out what the big guys meant, Tang Feng expressed his truest thoughts.

in spite of....

How these big guys think, he has his own standpoint and his own ideas.

As a Tang man, don't say sacrifice your life for righteousness, let's die for the country. 99 However, at such a critical moment, he will definitely not ignore it, and more importantly, he will only gain if he sacrifices, and exchange [-] Guan for a sea route. The right to operate, this is a sure-fire deal.

"[-] Guan, you are...... very generous...!!!."

Chen Shuda replied in a nonchalant manner.

"You child, [-] yuan of money, you know, how many people are extremely poor and can't earn that much money in their lifetime, you just donated it so easily, my aunt knows that your family has a lot of income, but it's not such a prodigal method. "

At this time, little aunt Tang Xuan and eldest grandson Minglan also walked into the room.

Next to him, eldest grandson Minglan looked at him and smiled wryly for the rest of his life.

Seeing this, Tang Feng knew that the elder Sun Minglan must have not revealed the deal he made with the King of Tang.

"You know, at your current age, your official position and title have already reached their peak, and there is absolutely no possibility of further promotion. Even if you donate thirty thousand coins, His Majesty will not be able to give you any substantial benefits."

As the voices of several people fell, Changsun Wuji glared at Tang Feng, and said something angrily.

"We all know that you are thinking about Datang. We are all happy that Datang has a talent like you, but you also have to think about yourself. A tree is as beautiful as a forest, but the wind will destroy it. Could it be, Do you think that the Tang Dynasty has gone through so many ups and downs since the founding of the country, and still be stumped by such a little food and grass?"

Tang Feng had no chance to speak at all, Changsun Wuji's voice fell, and Pei Ji spoke again.

Listening to the words of the big brothers, Tang Feng smiled slightly.

He can be seen that these big bosses... have no intention of reprimanding him, on the contrary, they mostly care about him.

Yu Gong, as an important minister in the court, someone is so generous, they naturally like to hear about it, but privately, as Tang Feng's relatives and elders, they will think about the problem from Tang Feng's perspective.

Thirty thousand coins, even if they think about it, they feel pain.

In addition, another important reason is that throughout the history of China for thousands of years, especially in this period of feudal society, the doctrine of the mean has been the prevailing atmosphere in officialdom.

But those who can stand upright all the time are all smooth and impartial. They neither want to be the first nor the last. In their minds, staying in the middle is...the best state. They don't bother, Provoking right and wrong, not lagging behind, being beaten and ridiculed by others.

Now, the imperial court faced difficulties in the westward expedition, Tang Feng stepped forward bravely and solved the problem alone.

If this falls into the mouths of the people of the Tang Dynasty, it may be said that Ding Beihou is sincere for the country, but many officials of the imperial court may not think so. After all, such things will make their situation a little bit different Awkward.

After thinking about it, Tang Feng also understood this truth from the words of several people.

At the beginning, he was only thinking of making a deal with Tang Wang, intending to obtain the right to operate the sea route, and ignored some matters in the officialdom of Huaxia. Now that he thinks about it, what they said is also unreasonable.

However, from the bottom of my heart, for...these.

........It is very contemptible to be a dog in the officialdom.

As the saying goes, serving as an official will benefit one party.

If those in power only know how to be wise and protect themselves, take everything in the right direction, and follow the old ways, it will not only kill the enthusiasm of officials, but also lose the hearts of the people.

Moreover, even if he wanted to understand this matter now, he didn't take it to heart.

From a country man to the current Marquis of Dingbei in the Tang Dynasty, he has suffered a lot of indifference and ridicule along the way, but so what, he is still the youngest general in the Tang Dynasty, the youngest general in the Tang Dynasty The Marquis, 17 years old, has the official position of the general of the town.

The king in the Daming Palace is an enlightened king, as long as this is enough, it is enough.

As for the second half of Pei Ji's sentence, Tang Feng didn't think much about it.

in spite of....

Why the king wanted to find him, and for what purpose, are no longer important.

In the end, both parties get what they want, that's all.

"Father-in-law, uncle, Mr. Pei, I have earned all this money with hard work, boy, how could I be so generous? Entering the palace this time is just a deal with His Majesty. At the same time, he obtained the right to operate the sea route from His Majesty, and when the sea trade starts, the [-] guan that was given away can be doubled soon.”

Tang Feng smiled lightly, and explained it anyway.

In the final analysis, these people came to me just out of reassurance, no matter what, he must understand this kind of intention.

"Let me just say, this kid is a ghost, how could he recognize [-] Guan for nothing?"
