Chapter 17: Gifts and Gratitude

Ye Chen sat in the vegetable garden for an afternoon.

The empress also sat with him all afternoon.

Throughout the afternoon, Ye Chen chatted a lot with the empress.

The topic involves all aspects, from planting vegetables to cooking, from exercises to martial arts, from formations to alchemy......

In short, Ye Chen didn't know how many topics he talked about.

Ye Chen has always paid attention to what he says, and touched on this world as little as possible.

However, he has an ordinary background and weak strength, and he has been at the bottom of society for more than 20 years, short-sighted, and he can't say many things, and it is not strange.

And the empress is very casual.

She fled to various places when she was a teenager, and her experience was richer than that of ordinary people, and she liked to read and study, and she knew all kinds of secrets that were rarely recorded.

In addition, she is strong and knowledgeable.

As the saying goes, standing tall and looking far away, that's it.

In the casual conversation, the empress was often surprised by Ye Chen's inadvertent angle of looking at the problem.

It was a meeting that she and many others had never considered.

Ye Chen said it casually.

Thinking is simply different from ordinary people!

Ye Chen was still a little restrained at first, but as soon as he saw that the empress was becoming more and more surprised, he also seemed to it, so he became a little unscrupulous.

As a modern person, and growing up in the era of rapid development of the Internet, his insights into some things are far beyond the reach of people in this world.

Take, for example, science.

In a world where warriors are kings, science is still valid.

During the chat, Ye Chen inadvertently confided in the direction of the improvement of farming tools, the construction of water conservancy projects, the research and development of breeding technology, and the improvement of production efficiency, which made the empress even more shocked!

Looking at Ye Chen, who was talking eloquently about a certain aspect of the problem, the empress's eyes were full of brilliance.

This guy ......

How do you grow your head?

How did he come up with any of this?

He and they can come up with so many excellent solutions, and one person is more powerful than the entire research team in Great Xia?

Could it be that his head structure is different from that of ordinary people?

Do you want......

Cut through and see?

Ahem......

The empress retracted her thoughts and continued to listen carefully to Ye Chen's talk about assembly line operations.

"Taking the production and manufacturing of horse-drawn carriages as an example, we can split the production of horse-drawn carriages, divide them into several parts, and divide the operation. ”

"The one who makes the wheels is only responsible for the wheels, the one who makes the axles is only in charge of the axles, and the one who makes the carriages is only responsible for the carriages......"

"All the parts are guaranteed to be manufactured in large quantities within a certain range of precision, and finally, all the parts are gathered and assembled, so that a carriage will come out?"

"In this way, not only the efficiency is greatly improved, but also the division of labor is clear, the learning difficulty of each department will be greatly reduced, and the quality of the carriage produced will be better. ”

"Moreover, if a certain part of a carriage is broken, there is a suitable part to replace at any time, and there is no need to find a special master to make it. ”

"Sister, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Ye Chen said, turning his head to look at the empress, his eyes blazing, "This kind of production and manufacturing method can not only be used in carriages, but also in thousands of complex products. ”

"When it comes to farming, it's still useful. ”

"A group of people is responsible for plowing the fields, a group of people are responsible for sowing seeds, a group of people are responsible for fertilizing, and a group of people are responsible for filling the soil...... In this way, both efficiency and output will be improved to varying degrees. ”

Ye Chen's mouth was dry, but he was still full of energy.

The reason is simple, he met a good audience.

One of a kind!

Why are modern people who have traveled through ancient times afraid to speak out about the advanced knowledge of later generations?

Because they're afraid.

Afraid of being regarded as an outlier, afraid of being jealous of the monarch, afraid of not fitting into the times, afraid of being killed!

Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is the devil!

Bruno insisted on heliocentrism, was regarded as a heretic, and was eventually burned to death, with a tragic end!

Therefore, the historical travelers did not dare to be unscrupulous at all.

Is it that they don't want to say they don't want to do?

Apparently not!

It's the reality that makes them have to endure it.

They can only bury everything deep in their hearts, and then step by step, when they have enough status, they can say and do what they want to say and do step by step!

But Ye Chen is different.

Because the empress is different from ordinary people!

Ye Chen could feel it, and when she heard the advanced knowledge and theories that came out of his mouth, her eyes were bright.

Not rejection, but recognition!

She's learning with an open mind!

Not only that, but she also asks questions from time to time, and looks like a student humbly asking the teacher for advice.

It's not pretended!

This makes Ye Chen very cool!

What is the identity of the empress?

The king of a country!

Moreover, she is still a young and beautiful goddess, in the eyes of all Daxia people, cold and noble, standing proudly on the top of the mountain, unattainable!

Such an identity and status, in front of it, is like a student.

As a man, how can you not be secretly refreshed!

Of course, a while is enough.

It's been cool for too long, and he can't bear it!

Therefore, he didn't say anything, firstly, because he was tired, and secondly, he couldn't think of anything else to say.

Of course, he still has a lot of knowledge in that era, but not everything is applicable.

After all, the world is different.

Besides, he can't say everything he can say at once.

Otherwise, it's cool this time, but what can I do if I don't have it next time!

A long stream of water is the right way!

"Anything else?"

The empress looked at Ye Chen, her eyes burning.

"Uh...... That's all for now. ”

Ye Chen looked at the empress who was a little dissatisfied, and his face was slightly embarrassed.

In my heart, I was a little helpless.

Isn't that enough?

Don't be so demanding!

Give me some time to rest.

"Okay. ”

The empress nodded with some regret, then looked at Ye Chen, and said seriously: "Ye Chen, do you know how much effect what you just said has on Great Xia and even the entire continent?"

Ye Chen shook his head.

Of course, it's pretended.

Of course, he knows what changes his words will bring to the world.

Otherwise, why would he say it!

"Those words of yours will change all walks of life!"

An unconcealable smile appeared on the empress's face, "You will make the people of Great Xia no longer worry about eating and drinking, you will save a large amount of labor, you will make the work of many industries more efficient, and you will make the strength of Great Xia stronger!"

"You, helped me too much!"

The empress's eyes showed gratitude.

"Is it that powerful?"

Ye Chen touched his head honestly, looking embarrassed.

Actually, the heart is dark.

"Of course!"

The empress nodded solemnly and said, "Originally, I thought that making you king would be a little compensation for you, but now, I was wrong. ”

"A mere prince, far less than the teachings and inspiration you gave me today!"

"I thought I owed you a little bit, but now, I owe even more!"

"Ye Chen, what you said is very important to me and to the entire Great Xia, so I accept it. ”

"Thank you!"

Ye Chen shook his head and signaled no.

"Tomorrow morning, I will have someone come and take you to the court. ”

The empress stood up straight, her expression resolute and arrogant, "I want to see if anyone dares to stop me from making you king tomorrow!"
