Chapter 1 Capital Datang!

"Still won't work!" Zhao Chen looked at the rough embryo that had just been pressed out, threw it into the waste heap in disappointment, as if he had a headache, rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, and looked at Li Chengqian, who also had a sad face, and said.

This is already the failure of the third day, however, the continuous correction, the continuous transformation of materials, and the rough embryo cast are still like this.

Either it is incomplete, or the marks on it are not clear, the soft steel cannot withstand the pressure of thousands of catties, and the rough embryos that come out are all flattened, not to mention the pattern, and the whole shape is gone.

The material has been improved, and as a result, the impression is not clear, or the impression is uneven, and such a finished product naturally cannot be made into a new coin!

Waste! Waste!

In the backyard of Qianzhuang, Zhao Chen sat on the lathe in pain, and the ground in front of him was full of cigarette butts. The minting of new coins took Zhao Chen a lot of energy, and this was the first time he encountered something tricky after he came to Datang.

Li Chengqian, who was opposite, also had a sad face, his eyes were red, and his hair was messy.

He was originally the crown prince, but at this time, his whole body was dirty, and there was no difference between him and the workers around him, if he didn't look at his dusty bright yellow robe.

The countless failures in the past three days have made Zhao Chen and Li Chengqian extremely distressed, and they are always a little bit worse every time, but every time they come out, they always end in failure.

Zhao Chen threw away a cigarette butt, habitually touched the cigarette case, but felt empty, when he looked up, Li Chengqian was holding the cigarette case, looked at Zhao Chen with blood-red eyes and said, "Don't smoke." I see you've pumped a lot! ”

"You think I'm willing!" When Zhao Chen heard Li Chengqian's words, he couldn't help sighing. Retracted his outstretched hand and rubbed his cheek vigorously. looked at Li Chengqian with a headache and said, "Why is it always a little bit worse?" ”

"Maybe there's something wrong with that!" Li Chengqian frowned, looked at the first rough embryo pressed out by the lathe, sighed long, and said, "There will be a way, we are not far from success!" ”

"Forget it!" Zhao Chen jumped down from the lathe, patted the soil on his buttocks, and said to Li Chengqian: "Let's do it today!" I can't stand it, my head is messy, go back and get some sleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow! ”

"It's good!" Li Chengqian actually couldn't stand it anymore, and when he heard Zhao Chen's words, he immediately nodded in agreement, threw the cigarette case to Zhao Chen and said: "It's not too early, let's come back tomorrow, I don't believe in a new coin, what can I do to get us!" ”

This is a bit of a gambling element, but. Zhao Chen didn't care, not only Li Chengqian, but even himself, at this time, his heart was full of anger.

Coming out of the backyard of the money village. Directly sit in the carriage of Muqiu and go straight to Xinghuafang.

At this time, as Li Chengqian said. The hour is indeed not early, and the sun hangs obliquely in the sky. Groups of people have already started work from the school palace and Li Chengqian's construction site. Hurry home in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Zhao Chen's thoughts were still stuck in the failure of the new coin, sitting in the carriage, his head was full of new coins, obviously a little absent-minded.

Just from the construction site of the construction site, there are naturally Xinghua Fangdi people, saw Zhao Chendi's carriage from a distance, immediately stopped, waiting for Zhao Chendi's carriage to come, passing by, you can say hello to Zhao Chen.

This has become the habit of the people of Xinghuafang, the more people there are, the more they like to talk to Zhao Chen, if they just catch up with Zhao Chen in a good mood, talk to a few more words, and those people can show off all day.

It's a pity that Zhao Chen is obviously not in a state today, and a few Xinghuafang people outside said hello to Zhao Chen when the carriage passed by.

I thought that the young marquis would lean out to talk to him as usual, but after waiting for a long time, the carriage was quiet, but it was the young man who drove the carriage and smiled apologetically at them.

"Master Hou is thinking about things!" The person who had just greeted Zhao Chen explained awkwardly to his companions after the carriage passed by.

As a result, as soon as these words fell, he was kicked in the ass by his companion, which provoked a large group of people on the street, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Zhao Chen, who was thinking about things in the carriage, suddenly heard a loud laugh from behind, and woke up suddenly, and when he heard Muqiu talk about the reason, he immediately rubbed his eyebrows and sat up straight in the carriage.

The carriage entered Xinghuafang, and when passing by Fang Street, through the car window, I saw a small shop on the street, wheat was busy inside, probably wheat also noticed Zhao Chen's carriage, and then quickly threw down the work in his hand and hurriedly ran to the carriage.

As a result, as soon as he left the shop, he was stopped by a woman behind him, who stopped Wheat, handed him a large string of sugar gourds, and whispered something to Wheat.

When the wheat came to the carriage, the woman stood far away in front of the shop, bowing slightly to the carriage.

"Master Hou!" Mu Qiu stopped the carriage, put down the pedals again, and held a large string of wheat with sugar gourds in his hand, then climbed into the carriage and whispered to Zhao Chen in the carriage.

"Done?" Zhao Chen's butt moved to the side to make room for Wheat, and then he looked at the sugar gourd in Wheat's hand and asked with a smile.

Wheat's mother-in-law, with two small dots by her side, made a sugar gourd every day, took two small dots, ran to Chang'an Street to sell, tired not to mention, and often dragged the tired wheat in.

Therefore, after Zhao Chen heard about it, he suggested that Wheat's mother could rent a shop in Xinghuafang, and the sugar gourd was also increased from hawthorn to other fruits.

"Uh-huh!" When Mai heard Zhao Chen ask about this, he immediately nodded vigorously as if a chicken pecked rice, and as he spoke, he carefully took out one of the strings, raised it to Zhao Chen's mouth and said, "Master Hou, taste it, this is made of apricots!" ”

Zhao Chen opened his mouth, took the hand of wheat, and bit a piece of sugar gourd, the entrance was soft, with the sweetness of rock sugar, but there was the taste of apricots, and he nodded with satisfaction: "It's not bad!" ”

As soon as wheat saw Zhao Chen nodding, he immediately laughed happily, and then, he picked out a variety of sugar gourds made of fruits for Zhao Chen to try, as long as Zhao Chen boasted, wheat would immediately let out a silver bell-like laugh.

is the same as when she first came to Zhao Mansion in the past, the little girl who always cried and cried, has completely judged the two of them!

Back in the house, Zhang Lu arranged for someone to boil a bucket of hot water, took a comfortable bath, ate something casually, and went back to the bedroom.

Flipping through books and doing all kinds of calculations, the light in the bedroom was on until the second half of the night, when Zhao Chen climbed onto the couch with red eyes, but he didn't find anything this night.

The next morning, I got up from the couch, washed up briefly, didn't eat breakfast, let Muqiu set up the car, and went to the new military camp first as usual, which was a must-do homework every day.

In the new military camp, Zhao Chen is now synonymous with the devil, every morning before dawn, as soon as the sharp whistle sounds, a group of killers will immediately wake up in a sweet dream and accept the devil's abuse.

Carrying a load around the city, he began to have a lot of equipment on his body, and he ran along the root of the city wall, and after a long time, under the root of the city wall, he was stepping out of a smooth road.

After only this lap, the people were directly tired and paralyzed, and the last part of the road, almost crawling back to the camp, at first they could squeak and scream, but in the end, they all closed their mouths, just followed the devil's horse's buttocks, and ran silently.

After abusing more than 1,000 people, I ate breakfast in the barracks, and then I left the barracks and went to the construction site of the school palace to deal with the things that should be handled.

So, the two of them went back to the bank together, and continued to devote their energy to minting new coins, failing again and again, adjusting again and again, and failing again, and repeating it every day.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, not only Zhao Chen is busy, Li Chengqian is busy, Li Er is also busy, Li Er is busy with the army, the news from the Turks is that the Turks have been in chaos, Jieli and Tuli's uncle and nephew have completely torn their faces and are at war.

Tuli sent people to Li Er for help, asking the Tang Dynasty to send troops to the grassland at this time, and join forces with him to deal with Jieli, and the condition was naturally to bow down to the Tang Dynasty.

In the court, for this matter, there has been a lot of quarrel, Li Er is actually willing to send troops, he dreamed of killing Jieli, but the ministers in the court objected, saying that although the Turks are in chaos today, they are not chaotic enough to make the Tang Dynasty take risks.

In the end, Tuli is a young eagle, his wings are not full, and it is not enough to reach the point of a decisive battle with Jieli, a goshawk.

So, Li Er had to grit his teeth fiercely, refused Tuli's request, and sent a letter of relief to Jieli, saying that he would not betray the brotherly alliance, but in private, he stepped up the speed of the army.

Everyone is busy, Hu Lu is no exception, now it is June and July, the sheep on the grassland are shearing, the first batch of wool, has begun to be transported to Guanzhong, he is seizing the time, preparing for the textile factory.

Compared with those factories and mines, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to open a money bank, once it starts to put into production, it is not an exaggeration.

Huge profits, so there will always be a lot of people who hear the news, and the nobles obviously smell the huge interests of the textile industry, and they come to Zhao Chen here in waves.

Not only the nobles, but also the eldest grandson, also called Zhao Chen into the palace, nominally to inquire about the progress of the princess's mansion, but in fact, since entering the palace, he didn't mention the princess's mansion at all, but cried with Zhao Chen for a long time.

Since Zhao Chen's marriage with Xiangcheng was decided, when the eldest grandson spoke, his tone was obviously different, and he felt as if he had returned to the way he was before.

Zhao Chen was annoyed, gritted his teeth, and agreed to all of them, not only to the eldest grandson, but also to a group of nobles, everyone has money to earn together, the world is so big, there is too much money to earn.

And the day after Zhao Chen agreed to the eldest grandson, the new coin that had gone through countless experiments was finally minted in continuous attempts, and the two people who were about to go crazy by the new coin looked at the rough embryo of the new coin that had just been suppressed, and almost cried on the spot.
