Tang Dynasty: Nine-year-old County Grandpa

After returning to the county office, the time was already in the afternoon.

Chu Jie, who was about to take a nap and then patrol the city wall in the afternoon, was interrupted when he just called Xiaoyu to change into his official robe.

"Lord Chu, Lord Li Daozong of Dali Temple asks to see him!"

Chen Xiu shouted outside the door.

"Li Daozong, what did the old grandson do when he came to me?"

"Forget it, the official should go over and take a look."

Chu Jie was stunned for a moment, and was immediately very dissatisfied with his dream-stirring approach.

Of course, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, taking a nap is also a very politically incorrect and suspected lazy behavior.

Chu Jie had no choice, just before the official robe was changed, and walked to the living room with a cold face.

In the living room, Li Daozong, who was holding a clear tea, was still sitting in front of the case wearing a purple official robe representing his identity.

"Yo, Lord Chu, it's been a long time. "

I just came back from Taiyuan these days, are you tired?" Li

Daozong said with a courteous smile on his face after seeing Chu Jie coming.

"Hehe, thanks to Lord Li's blessing, everything is going well. "

I don't know what happened to Master Li's visit?"

Chu Jie rolled his eyes.

Why does Lao Tzu want to take a nap, and you want you to come and ask Lao Tzu if he is tired?

If it weren't for his own identity, Chu Jie would have already kicked out this half-aged grandson with a broom at this time.

"Oh, Lord Chu will see the outside world as soon as he says a word, and he will just call me Lao Li. "

You just came back from a business trip, and my Lao Li came to you, our Dali Temple and Chang'an County Ya, one is in charge of the officials and the other is in charge of the people, but it is also an official office that has to cooperate frequently.

"So, I'm going to get in touch with you. "

By the way, let's make an appointment for dinner and come to Chang'an Restaurant in the afternoon, okay?"

Li Daozong said with a smile.

Of course he knew, it was a fart partnership.

It's basically something that he, a former general, can't do, and Chu Jie has to come.

He is now receiving the salary of Dali Siqing, and it is Chu Jie who works.

In the previous incident in Lantian County, he may still be unconvinced.

But after the assassination of Li Shentong, he already knows very well that different fields are different fields, and it is useless for him to disagree.

In the future, there will be many places that rely on the Chang'an County Ya, can he not be a grandson?"

"Oh, I see, the official happens to have time in the afternoon, so it's all up to Lao Li to arrange." Youdao

stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, although Chu Jie is still unhappy, but Li Daozong has almost bent his waist at this time, and he doesn't need to blame him for taking a nap.

What's more, this is picking up a grandson.

During the New Year's holidays, I come to the door to give gifts and compensate for the smiling face.

"Hahaha, that's good, that's good.

"Then I'll go first, Lord Chu, don't bother you. "

By the way, I know that Lord Chu has been busy with official business and tired recently, and I, Lao Li, have not prepared other valuable gifts. "

I sent some notoginseng and ginseng, just to make up for Lord Chu, please don't refuse."

Li Daozong was also satisfied when he heard that Chu Jie agreed to come.

So he stood up with a smile and prepared to leave.

"Okay, see you in the afternoon!" Chu

Jie nodded and watched him out.

At this time, Chen Xiu walked in.

"My lord, Lord Li has sent ten catties of three catties of notoginseng and five catties of ginseng, and it just so happens that you can stew a tonic soup for your adults at night.

Chen Xiu said happily.

"No need, that guy has a dinner tonight, just take you to have a good meal. "

Now, prepare the carriage and patrol the city!" Chu

Jie looked at the sky and felt that the time was almost up, so he commanded in a deep voice.

"Okay, I understand, my lord, prepare the carriage immediately!" Hearing

that he could have dinner tonight, Chen Xiu was also overjoyed.

Not long after, Chu Jie wore an official robe, rode in a carriage, and left Chang'an City.

At this time, the autumn winds are already becoming more and more pronounced.

The weather is getting colder and colder.

Many of the civilians were dressed in single clothes, and some were shivering.

Chu Jie suddenly frowned.

In this era, all the clothes were linen, and there was no cotton.

This linen cloth is hard and thorny, and the effect of blocking the wind is good, but it does not have the material to keep warm at all.

It's like wearing a cardboard shell on your body, and you hardly retain a bit of warmth.

Coupled with the big sleeves and placket of the Hanfu that leaked on all sides, Chu Jie even doubted that the guys in the Spring and Autumn Period who designed these clothes in the first place were all living in Hainan?

Therefore, winter in the Central Plains is almost an absolute forbidden area.

It's okay to go out for a few minutes for a short time, but if you go far, your life is in danger.

"Lord Chu's carriage!" "Lord Chu has patrolled the city

!" "Meet Lord Chu!"

The

people on the street, after seeing Chu Jie's carriage

, bowed to him one after another.

That enthusiastic appearance made Chu Jie's heart ache for a while.

Such lovely people, how can they bear to let them freeze in winter

?" "The academy and the factory, how is the progress?"

Chu Jie suddenly asked.

Chen Xiu, who was sitting next to Zhanzhao, was stunned after hearing this.

"My lord, the design of the academy is too grand, and it will not be completed this year.

"It's the factory building you want, it's ready.

"But you can't get the windmill and the textile machine you gave before.

"Because almost all the skilled carpenters have been sent by you to Shandong to help build ships.

"In the whole of Chang'an County, there are now less than 500 old craftsmen who are too old to walk, and they can only build three windmills and machine tools a month.

"It's going to be a while, and the factory really can't arrange it."

Chen Xiu said with some embarrassment.

When Chu Jie sent craftsmen to Shandong to build ships before, he also gave a set of design drawings for Jenny's loom and a windmill drive device.

According to Chu Jie's plan, a huge windmill could drive ten Jenny looms, speeding up the weaving speed of this era from one piece of cloth for three months to the speed of five women workers being able to spin thirty pieces of cloth a day.

If the machine works in three shifts, this amount is actually quite substantial.

But the problem is that the delivery speed of the machine tool can be ignored at all, which is embarrassing.

After all, there are only more than five hundred old craftsmen, and he can't do anything.

"Call the oldest of those craftsmen, and don't go to patrol the city. "

Let's go back to the county office!" Chu

Jie commanded.

Now that Chang'an's security value has exploded, there is no problem found in patrolling the city.

Petty theft is now extinct, and even landless vagrants can find work in Chu Jie's briquette workshop, and potential criminals are directly drawn from the bottom of the kettle.

Where else is there anyone who is so stupid and petty thieves?

At most,

they are caught in a fight.

"Understood, sir!" Zhanzhao

next to him responded, and began to turn around as he drove the carriage.
