Chapter 1118: The Technology That Was Scrambled
These women have noble status, even if they want to get married, they are also the right people, this time they were sent to the Xiaoyao Palace, it feels like being sent to the palace, although His Majesty the Tang Dynasty will pick the palace maids every year, but they no longer have concubines, so it is impossible for them to enter the palace, especially the daughters of the seven doors and five surnames, they rely on the thousand-year-old inheritance, and even have a little contempt for Li Shimin, and they are unwilling to marry their daughters into the Li family.
But this time, he sent his concubine to the Xiaoyao Palace, which made the outside world quite excited.
It's just that for Chu He, the family, the high-ranking officials, or Li Shimin himself, his identity doesn't matter to him at all, anyway, the daughters of these people are all very beautiful, and everyone is a landscape, as for wanting to get his favor, it depends on the ability of these people.
"I've seen the Easy King. "Chu He was accompanied by all the women, eating, there were some changes in the meal, all of which were requested by Chu He and taught in person, on the dinner table, there were more fragrant stir-fried dishes, but unfortunately, there was still no pork, Chu He's favorite braised hooves, of course, there was not, and Li Junxian, the leader of the hundred horsemen of the internal guard, walked in quickly.
Chu He waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, what's the matter?"
"King Xiaoyao, Your Majesty let the general inform the prince, Cihang Jingzhai heir Meng Linglong is coming to Chang'an, according to the news detected, the black and white masters gathered because of her, and rushed to Chang'an, Your Majesty suspects that this person is coming for King Xiaoyao. β
Although the women are beautiful and rarely go out, they are thunderous about Cihang Jingzhai, and they are all moved at this time, and they pricked up their ears to listen.
"Coming for me? Could it be that this Meng Linglong heard that this prince Yushu was in the wind, and he was suave, and he came thousands of miles to warm the bed for the king's pillow?"
"Lord Wang, Your Majesty means to remind you to be careful, for fear that this person will not be good and will be unfavorable to you. β
Chu He smiled lightly, seemed to be a little disdainful, and said: "It is your mentality that will make Cihang Jingzhai a superior existence, what is the true dragon's saying, looking for the true dragon's words, all fucking bullshit, if they can decide the change of dynasty, wouldn't it be a real immortal, this king, an immortal visitor, wants to see it, they can determine what the world depends on, go and tell Your Majesty, if this woman comes because of me, this prince will deal with it." β
"Yes, my lord, I will not retire. β
Li Junxian left, and all the women's eyes were fixed on Chu He, who said, "Don't look at me, just say something." β
The eldest grandson Yan'er said: " Brother Chu, you need to be careful in this matter, everyone knows that Cihang Jingzhai has a supreme inheritance, and the strongest one steps through the realm of emptiness, that is, immortals, every few years, there will be a successor born, stirring up the turmoil of the entire dynasty, forming a troubled world, in the troubled times, heroes are born, every descendant of Cihang Jingzhai in the past was born, they are extremely powerful, and they are all supported, as I know, that Qin Mengyao, even the first master of the black list, Pang Ban, is overwhelmed by it, and then there is Shi Fei Xuan, Shuanglong, who once threatened the Tang Dynasty for three points, was also suppressed by her, absolutely powerful, and this time Meng Linglong was born, which means something, and the world believes that she is here for Brother Chuγ β
Princess Changle said: "I also heard that every generation of descendants of Cihang Jingzhai was born, all because of the great changes in the world, they have the ability to see through the past, and the means are unpredictable, the Tang Dynasty has been established for ten years, the world has just been calm, recuperating, at this time, they are born, it is obvious that it is for Brother Chu, so please Brother Chu be more careful." β
Chu He said: "Okay, you don't have to worry, the inheritance of this king is much longer than Cihang Jingzhai, although this king is just a passer-by in Hongchen, but if they want to hit me with any ideas, they may be looking for the wrong person." β
"Okay, don't talk about these unhappy things, everyone eats first, after eating, they all go to the side yard to help, learn the three crop planting techniques, and wait for the afternoon, in the afternoon, I will teach Changle and Yan'er the new papermaking technique, this is a gift I promised Your Majesty, you must study hard." β
"Yes, Brother Chu. β
No one will refuse this kind of thing, and everyone knows that any thing given by Chu He is very precious.
Corn seeds have grown into seedlings, can be transplanted, this is very simple, two feet away from one planting, watering, sweet potato seedlings are also cut, transplanting seedlings for seeds, but also need the rainy season, cut again, the method is very simple, Chu He said, the women are busy, more than a dozen women, although they have never done farming, but one by one is as enthusiastic as fire.
What Chu He did at this time was quickly transmitted back to the palace, and the palace was going to do the same, in addition to Chu He planting the experimental field, Li Shimin was also doing it, and he also wanted to know if these seeds could really harvest full fruits.
In the afternoon, Chu He taught the two women the art of papermaking, in fact, there was already papermaking in the Han Dynasty, but because of the technical limitations, the cost was high, except for the nobles and families, the average commoner could not afford to use it, and Chu He taught the two women to popularize cheap papermaking, an improved version.
Although modern technology cannot be used, the steps have been simplified after systematic arrangement, and as long as the most basic processes are mastered, paper can be produced.
The two girls are very hard, but they are still meticulous, remember every step, in addition to the two girls, Wu Meiniang was also called to her side, close to her, which made Wu Meiniang's heart moved.
After hard work, when looking at the birth of brand new paper, the joy is even more heartwarming, because of this, there is their labor.
The two women held the paper, feeling it carefully, and were overjoyed.
"How about it, I learned, I learned to wait until I return to the palace tomorrow, and tell Your Majesty in detail that this is a great tool of the country, and it needs to be promoted throughout the country, and next, I will teach you a printing technique. β
This is movable type printing, and it is also an upgraded version of the printing technology currently used by Datang, which will become a norm in the future, allowing more people to learn, cheap books, cheap paper, and the cost of education will be greatly reduced.
The two girls learned until it was dark before they left to rest, and Wu Meiniang on the side had the opportunity to speak: "Lord, this kind of papermaking and movable type printing is very valuable, if the palace enjoys exclusive technology, it can make the prince rich in the world." β
Chu He was stunned for a moment, smiled a little unexpectedly, and said, "You girl has a lot of thoughts, was she afraid of poverty before?"
Of course Chu He knew Wu Meiniang's life experience, although he didn't ask, he also knew that orphans and widows had suffered a lot.
"Every thing that this king takes out is priceless, rest assured, I can feed you, papermaking and movable type printing, for the country and the people, is a big plan, and it can be regarded as a return to Your Majesty, to solve problems for him, he deserves the emperor, and it is not good, it is really embarrassing for him. β
"Well, if you're interested, I'll teach you something to make money tomorrow, perfume and soap, you know, this luxury is really profitable. β
Wu Meiniang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Mei Niang will definitely study hard." β
Chu He looked at the woman with a serious look, patted her head, and said: "This king knows a lot of things, you really can't learn it, as long as you are willing to learn, this king will also be willing to teach you." β
The next day, Chu He taught Wu Meiniang to learn to make perfume and soap, once these things are born, they will definitely be popular throughout the Tang Dynasty, as long as they are women, they can't escape this demand, Chu He has no idea about making money, after all, the things in the dragon ring, everything is very valuable, but Wu Meiniang can have something to do, and she is very happy, so she likes it.
"Prince, although we entered the palace a little later, but when we entered the palace, we are also people from the palace, the prince can't favor one over the other, and a few of us also want to learn some new technologies?" Several ministers and daughters of the family took the initiative to come and asked Chu He, Chu He taught Princess Changle the papermaking technique, and now there is a word in the palace that it will change the entire Tang Dynasty.
There are also Wu Meiniang's perfumes and soaps, they have all used them, this kind of thing didn't know before, but after using it, no one can leave it, it is definitely a very profitable business, or exclusive.
"Okay, then the king will teach you a way to make salt. β
Chu He found that the fine salt in the kitchen is all brine salt, with a certain unclean taste, but this is already the best salt powder in Datang, and all the salt particles sold outside are fine salt particles, in addition to saltiness, there is also a chemical taste, although it meets the demand for salt, but it affects people's health, it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses.
But if you don't eat it, you will die slowly, so whether you die or not, you still have to eat.
The art of making salt may not be popularized by Li Shimin, and the benefits in it are too great and will be restricted, but for the family, as long as all the families hear the wind and compete with each other, I believe that it is the common people who will benefit.
The large basket of salt stones is melted into water, and the large impurities of the miscellaneous stones are removed, and then the method of filtration, coupled with the evaporation crystallization technique, produces fine salt as white as snow, and the fine salt no longer has a trace of peculiar smell, and with a bit of sweetness, Chu He told them that this method can also be used on the sand sugar to make white crystal sweet sugar.
Almost after Chu He taught a few daughters, these techniques were immediately passed on, which was also the intention of the family to send their daughters to Xiaoyao Palace, and the benefits were evenly distributed, but the next day, there were already fine salt for sale in some shops in Chang'an City, and it has to be said that the power of the family is quite strong in this era.
In this way, there are more people who want to enter the Xiaoyao Palace.
Li Shimin received a mountain of excerpts, one by one saying that the King of Xiaoyao was alone and needed love, they were willing to do their part to take care of the King of Xiaoyao, and what did they say that they knew that the King of Xiaoyao was unparalleled in the world, and the little girl in the family admired him very much, and he did not marry or something, anyway, the intention was obvious, and they all wanted to become the wife and concubine of the King of Xiaoyao, so as to enter the palace of the King of Xiaoyao and get his benefits.
It's really stimulated by crystal salt, and this benefit is too great.
"It's too much, it's too much, it's such a good thing, how can King Xiaoyao not want to think about my brother......" Li Shimin was also stimulated a lot, pushing all these folds into the ground, so angry that he couldn't do it, since he became the emperor, he was exhausted, the palace was repeatedly reduced, and even the dignified queen was rare to make new clothes, and he was so poor that he was the emperor who was incompetent, and now he had such a good opportunity to make money, but he gave it to the greedy family in vain, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
The queen walked in, waved her hand lightly, and several maidservants immediately stepped forward, cleaned up the folds on the ground, and placed them neatly on the long case again.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the anger in his heart, forced a smile on his face, and asked, "Guanyin is here, where is Changle?"
"Changle has gone back, this kid is very filial, he took a lot of things back and distributed them to everyone, Your Majesty, are you angry?"
Li Shimin said: "I'm not angry, I'm just dripping blood in my heart, you can also see the crystal salt, the benefits are more than tens of millions, why doesn't King Xiaoyao want to give up such interests to my brother, I don't know that in the palace, it is almost impossible to open the pot?"
Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, this matter, the concubine thinks that Brother Chu is doing it right, this salt-making technique is related to all the people, if it is given to Your Majesty, and your Majesty's righteousness is used to promote the world, I am afraid that it will be hindered by the family, I don't know when it will be able to spread all over the world, so that the people can benefit, and hand it over to the family, you see, yesterday's technology has appeared in the store today, and so many families compete with each other, benefit the public, and it is beneficial to the country and the people." β
