Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Within half a year.

The national treasury was filled with papermaking and printing alone.

The money earned is from various countries.

After learning about this, these countries were unwilling to fall behind and came to Dayan to avoid being left behind by other countries.

Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu realized for the first time how quickly knowledge and skills could make money.

This greatly inspired the two men and all the officials in the court to cultivate and utilize talents.

My God, the treasury, which had never been full before, was now full because of these two technologies! This was something that was unimaginable a few months ago.

But it really happened.

If we use a few more tricks, won’t we be charging a lot of money?

It doesn’t matter if a small country is poor. If it doesn’t have money, it can exchange it for resources.

For example, iron ore, copper ore, gems, grain, cattle, sheep, horses, etc.

Just like there is a small country in the south that is rich in jade, we can exchange it for top-quality jade.

For example, in the northern countries, the sheep and horses are fat and can be used as money.

Everyone in the Yan court, including the common people, understood the importance of knowledge.

Because of this incident, Jun Yuyan deliberately spread it and gave the inventor a huge reward.

Of course, the "two people" who invented this invention were certainly not the real creators, but that did not prevent rumors of them getting rich overnight from spreading among the people.

This aroused the people's enthusiasm for creation and invention, and over the past month, many inventions were reported to the court.

Although some inventions are completely useless, there are one or two out of ten that are of some use.

As long as it is useful, it will be rewarded with real money.

Not only that, if the invented object can be used to make money, the inventor can also receive a large dividend from the court every year.

There was a carpenter named Han Muzi, who loved carpentry since he was a child. His father was a carpenter, and his family was a long line of carpenters, but he particularly liked making some strange and weird objects.

These items are so rare that they cannot be sold.

Not long ago, his father fell seriously ill and the family was running out of money. The neighbors also accused him of not doing his job properly and thinking about useless things every day.

He heard that someone had exchanged rare items for silver at the court, so he transported all the old items and recently made wooden objects to the yamen on ox carts.

"Master, look at these items. Are there any valuables?"

The people around laughed.

"Are you here to deliver junk?"

"It's so dirty and covered in dust. Please wipe it off and send it to the official."

"It's all made of wood and looks crooked. How can it be practical? Young man, you should go back to your carpentry work."

Han Muzi was eager to prove himself, to prove that he had not wasted his time these years, and he said anxiously:

"Look, sir, this shelf can be unfolded to hold books. This piece of wood can hold the pages of the book, so that the hands can do other things. For example, the ladies can read a book while doing embroidery."

The onlookers said, "Tsk, how can a young lady read a book and do embroidery at the same time? Do you care about your eyes?"

The officials also shook their heads, thinking it was not practical.

When reading a book, one would put it on the desk and mark it with a pen after finishing reading.

He waved his hand and said, "This one is not suitable, what about the others?"

"This is an unfoldable wooden table. It's convenient to carry when you go out for an outing. It takes up very little space. Look, this is the matching folding seat and the backrest. It's very stable and sturdy. An adult man can sit on it without any problem."

"Not practical, not practical. The ground for a picnic is not flat everywhere, so how can we put the table and chairs? It would be more practical to lay a piece of cloth. Besides, these items have no other use except for picnics, and they will just gather dust if left at home."

"Sir, please look at this again!"

He hastily introduced the remaining items one after another, but none of them were satisfactory.

Just as he was about to leave dejectedly, a light voice suddenly called him.

"Mr. Han, right? Wait a minute."

I saw someone helping a woman get out of an inconspicuous carriage that had been parked on the side of the road.

"Your Majesty! I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and immediately knelt down together.

"No need to salute, everyone please stand up. I am only traveling incognito today and do not want to make any noise."

Her Majesty the Queen is so kind.

Everyone stood up, but no one dared to speak casually.

Murong Jiu came over.

"Master Chen."

"The humble position is here!"

Mr. Chen, who is in charge of the inventive talents, is already sweating profusely.

Murong Jiu chuckled: "Don't be too nervous. Every word you said is very pertinent. You also consider the issue from the perspective of the common people, so there is nothing wrong with that. However, I think these items of Mr. Han are very practical."

Everyone was very confused.

These things are useless, how can they be practical?

Murong Jiu smiled and explained: "You see, these foldable tables and chairs can actually be used not only for outings, but the people who will benefit the most from them should be vendors and small businesses. Because they don't take up space when folded up."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lord Chen was immediately enlightened.

Yes, he followed Han Muzi's thinking and thought it was useless for outings, but he didn't expect that it could also be used in mobile vendors and narrow restaurants.

Not only that, it can also be used in homes of people with small houses and large populations.

There are more and more people in the capital nowadays. Because there are more business opportunities and workshops, the number of craftsmen and farmhands needed has increased several times. The houses are almost full. In some alleys, there are hundreds of households crammed into one.

They are so crowded that if there are guests, there is no place to stay.

Even if there are no guests, it would be more comfortable if the place is more spacious, right?

There are also mobile vendors who use carts to push foldable tables and chairs to place prepared food so that customers have a place to sit down and eat.

This can greatly facilitate the people.

"Your Highness, I have made a mistake. My vision is too narrow and I am not as thoughtful as you."

Murong Jiu chuckled: "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, Master Chen, just remember it next time."

Lord Chen breathed a sigh of relief and secretly made up his mind not to make the same mistake again.

"I like this reading shelf very much. My master said that it is not advisable to lower your head when reading, as it can easily hurt your spine. On the contrary, sitting like this and looking straight ahead is good for your health. The world is so big that there must be someone who can use it. Mr. Han, your invention is really great. Keep up the good work in the future."

Han Muzi's face turned red due to the praise, his blood seemed to boil, and he was so excited that he wanted to run a few laps on the spot.

Finally! Finally someone saw his talent!

He is not a good-for-nothing carpenter!

Even the Queen Mother praised him highly!

He has made great progress!
