Chapter 21: The Ministers Are Shocked
After the books were distributed, everyone fell silent.
Whew!
In the entire hall, there was only the sound of flipping books.
As well as the increasingly coarse gasps of some.
Among the people present, only Ye Chen was the most calm.
Of course, the empress is also quite idle.
She didn't speak, just leaned back on the dragon chair and waited quietly for everyone below to finish reading.
At this time, Ye Chen understood what was going on.
What was written in that book must have been what he told the empress yesterday.
He also got a book, and it happened to be fine, so he flipped through it casually.
Then he found that what was written in the book was not a copy of his remarks yesterday, but a condensed and revised one.
Ye Chen focused on those modified places and found that they were more comprehensive and more suitable for Great Xia.
Needless to say, this must be the work of the empress!
Ye Chen quickly finished flipping, and he couldn't help but admire the empress in his heart.
He had no experience in governing the country.
In that world, he was just a college student, and thanks to the development of the Internet, he read a lot of advanced materials.
But it's only half-baked.
The reason why the empress was shocked was entirely due to her foresight.
In fact, although he can speak, there are many things that are not very suitable for application in this world.
As the king of a country, the empress can naturally see it.
But she didn't say it at the time, she just thought it was Ye Chen's lack of experience and vision, but made changes in private.
In her opinion, Ye Chen's ability to have such vision and ideas is enough to shock people.
And Ye Chen was also surprised by the level and speed of the empress.
Her modifications, just right.
She was also very fast, and she had only finished talking about it yesterday evening, and by early this morning, she had already made these books out and distributed them.
There is no printing in this world, and books are still transcribed by hand.
This book has a lot of words, and even if you copy one, it will take a lot of time.
In this way, the time when the empress wrote the book will be a period before the last dynasty.
So, she was doing all this last night?
Ye Chen was surprised.
From the perspective of a person of the world, it takes a lot of time to understand the advanced technology of later generations.
Improvement can only be made on the basis of sufficient understanding.
Ye Chen was more than eighty percent sure that the empress didn't sleep last night.
She's been busy with this all night!
Closing the book, Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the empress in front of him.
Coincidentally, it met the empress's eyes.
Ye Chen just looked at her quietly, and then, when he found the empress's eyes, he softened.
The corners of her mouth showed a faint smile.
Then, she nodded slightly.
The countenance was filled with appreciation and recognition.
Even, there is a hint of gratitude.
This scene was not seen by anyone, because everyone was fully engaged in the book.
Even the three of the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Zhang Xuanwu beside Ye Chen, were the same.
The more they looked, the more surprised they were.
The more I looked, the more solemn my face became.
Many people's breathing even began to be rapid, as if they had seen something very remarkable.
Zhang Xuanwu's expression was solemn, and while reading a book, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ye Chen.
And there were not many words, and Suzaku, who was the most indifferent to Ye Chen, couldn't help but look at it frequently.
The white tiger, who has a very casual and free temperament, also has a grim face, Ye Chen can feel that the eyes he looks at him are different from before.
In addition to the three of them, there were also people who looked back at Ye Chen from time to time.
The look in everyone's eyes is the same.
Shocked, with disbelief!
It's like watching a monster!
No one here is a fool.
The empress is at this moment, showing them these things, which undoubtedly explains a lot of things.
This book has a lot to do with Ye Chen!
It is highly likely that it was written in collaboration with the empress.
It may even be that Ye Chen wrote it independently!
In the face of such an important book, no one dares to read it casually.
Everyone, all of them, are studying carefully, frowning and thinking from time to time, scratching their ears and cheeks.
Soon, there was a whisper.
But it was the two old ministers in the front row who opened their mouths to discuss.
"Mixed cultivation of two or more crops with similar growing seasons allows for more rational and full use of land...... This method is called interplanting? wonderful, wonderful!"
"This plow...... Changing straight and long wheels to curved wheels and short wheels, installing a ploughshare plate that can be rotated at the head of the wheel, this ...... Is that really effort-saving?"
"Collectivized farming......? Will it work?"
"Division of labor and cooperation?The production of a carriage is divided into multiple parts, each of which is produced in strict accordance with the standard, and finally assembled...... This...... This ......"
After some people spoke out to discuss it, others began to hold back.
They opened their mouths one after another, discussing with the people around them, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.
The voices of discussion are getting louder and louder!
There was even a debate!
Several of them, because of a disagreement, have begun to quarrel loudly, each listing various points of view, hoping to convince the other.
Some ministers couldn't sit still, and after discussing nothing with the people around them, they began to get up, and they didn't care about any rules, so they went directly to a more professional minister for consultation and discussion.
The topics that everyone discusses are written in the book.
The main hall quickly became noisy.
It's like a wet market!
The empress didn't speak, just watched quietly, with a smile on her face.
He didn't look at the bored Ye Chen, his eyes were full of appreciation.
This little one!
I don't know where he got so many wonderful ideas.
Ye Chen...... This book has something to do with you?"
On the side, Zhang Xuanwu finally couldn't help it and asked.
"Hmm. ”
Ye Chen didn't hide it, and said: "I discussed it with Your Majesty yesterday, but I just chatted casually, and the follow-up sorting and modification was done by Your Majesty himself, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
"Just talking about ......"
The white tiger and the red bird on the side were speechless.
Although they are in charge of the military, it does not mean that they do not know anything else.
Many of the things written in the book, they can understand.
That's why they were shocked by the people who wrote the book!
What kind of brain would come up with these things!
They guessed that it was related to Ye Chen, but they really didn't think that these were what Ye Chen said.
According to Ye Chen, the ideas are all his?
The empress is only responsible for the follow-up finishing and revision?
This......
It's also shocking!
Then, Ye Chen actually told them that he was just "chatting casually"?
Listen up!
Is this talking about human words?
"Ye Chen, there are a lot of things in this, I don't understand very well, and there are a lot of things I can't figure out. Since it's from you, can you give me an answer?"
Zhang Xuanwu sincerely asked for advice.
The Vermilion Bird White Tiger on the side also looked at Ye Chen with burning eyes.
"Absolutely. ”
Ye Chen smiled and agreed very happily.
He doesn't care if they really want to ask for advice or want to verify, in short, he is not false.
It's his, that's his!
Isn't it just asking questions, just ask, if you can't answer, I'll lose!
......
"Ahem. ”
Just as the ministers were discussing passionately, a light cough came, clearly penetrating everyone's ears.
“......”
The atmosphere froze for a moment, then cooled down.
The ministers stopped talking and returned to their positions one after another.
"Zhongqing, how do you see?"
The empress asked, her voice soft.
The ministers were silent.
In the middle of the night, an old minister exhibited and said: "Your Majesty, if the knowledge described in this book can really have the effect described in the book, it will be immeasurable for the improvement of my Great Xia!"
Another person stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this book can be called a divine book, and it is not an exaggeration at all!"
The next minister stood up and said, "The person who wrote the book has made great contributions to my Great Xia and even the entire continent, which can save the people from famine and make Great Xia quickly and strong, and it will be written into the history books and passed down through the ages and praised by all generations!"
Someone hesitated for a while and asked, "Your Majesty, ...... this person who wrote the book?"
When the empress heard this, her face was like a smile.
"Zhongqing, if this book is written by one person alone, then is this person's contribution to my Great Xia enough to be qualified to be named the king of a different surname?"
The empress's voice rang out, causing everyone to move.
Then, with a shocked expression, they all turned their heads and looked at one person.
Ye Chen!
What the?
What did the empress say?
She said......
Is this book written by one man alone?
This......
How can it be!
