"So, I know the hardships of farmers and the tiredness of farmers, but since you have chosen to join my Zhao family, I naturally want to make you a farmer and be comfortable."
Zhao Chen picked up potatoes and sweet potatoes: "You must have tasted these. These are the crops I found. They are called potatoes and sweet potatoes. These two things are the foundation of our Zhao family. As long as they are planted, we can first ensure that No one will go hungry. Our first task is to learn to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes."
Zhao Chen numbered all the farmers, divided them into teams according to their living areas, and selected captains.
The captain stepped forward to take the seeds, and Zhao Chen said again: "This thing is very simple, just put it in the ground. And, I will teach you the greenhouse technology today."
Zhao Chen went directly to a farmland to demonstrate on the spot. In the past few days, he had found a dye shop in Chang'an and printed and dyed the white cloth he needed, which was exactly the same as the one in Qingshui Village before.
After the simple greenhouse was completed, tasks began to be assigned. Some went to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes, and some started to build the greenhouse area and greenhouse.
On the other side, in the craftsman's workshop, Zhao Chen gave a simple drawing of a still. According to the drawings, the craftsmen made many stills.
The purification of salt and the distillation of wine must be carried out in the craftsman's workshop.
The roads between each area in the village have been filled with stones to make simple gravel roads.
In addition, Zhao Chen is also preparing to mine the coal mines he discovered previously.
There are many coal mines near Chang'an with abundant reserves. At that time, the total coal mines identified in Shaanxi Province ranked fourth in my country.
Coal mine is an indispensable item for industrialization and one of the necessary items for factories.
There are also some needed lime plants, which also need to be built. Only with lime can we have cement. Only with cement can we build roads and bake red bricks. All these things are linked to each other in industry.
Sun Li and others followed Zhao Chen.
"Okay, you have several tasks. The first one is to teach. The Shuimu School in the mansion currently only offers night classes. We will organize a group of farmers who are willing to learn and teach them basic literacy and Chinese characters."
¡°Moreover, keep statistics, production, usage, and the money consumption of our Zhao family. These must be recorded.¡±
"yes."
There are still some things that Zhao Chen can only teach slowly.
But no matter what, Zhao Chen¡¯s experimental field in the Tang Dynasty has begun with a bang.
Looking from a distance, we could only see many figures busy working in the Zhao Mansion area.
"Mr. Zhao, I have another question."
Sun Li said directly.
"What?"
"Judging from the current accounts, it seems that there is not enough money."
Zhao Chen was stunned for a while: "Not enough money? What does this mean?"
"It is indeed not enough. Mr. Zhao, you have recruited too many people before, buying cloth, making crafts workshops, and paving roads. These consume a lot of money."
Zhao Chen thought about it for a while: "Money really doesn't cost much. It's okay. I'll go to the palace and ask for the money."
He first went back to the Zhao Mansion and saw Changle and Queen Changsun playing with their three children.
He smiled, changed his clothes, and went straight to the palace.
After entering the palace, Zhao Chen went straight to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is also the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Because Li Shimin's name was taboo, it was changed to the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It was later changed back during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of money. Zhao Chen has no money, so he naturally has to ask the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for it.
At this time, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was still Ma Zhou, who later became prime minister.
When he saw Ma Zhou, Zhao Chen was also unceremonious: "I need funding from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but I don't have enough money."
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly: "Consort, why don't you drink tea first?"
"Don't do this to me, I don't drink tea, I just take money."
¡°Consort, the Tang Dynasty doesn¡¯t have much money left, how can we allocate it to you?¡±
Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows: "No money?"
"There is really no money. If you don't believe me, just look at it. On Hedong Road and Henan Road, there is currently funding for the Ministry of Works projects needed to relocate the victims. The amount is too large, and the court can't bear it. Where is the money?"
Zhao Chen thought about it, and he knew that if he forced it, he could still squeeze out some money, but it was not necessary.
"Who is the richest in Chang'an?"
"What the consort said, of course the Duke is the richest."
Zhao Chen¡¯s eyes brightened slightly: ¡°Where are those aristocratic families?¡±
"The aristocratic family is naturally rich."
"Where's the harem?"
Ma Zhou looked confused: "Consort, what are you asking about the harem?"
"Don't worry about it, just ask if you have money?"
"There must be some. In fact, sometimes the harem receives some rewards and has no place to spend them."
Zhao Chen laughed and clapped his hands: "That's fine."
Zhao Chenxing left in a hurry, but Ma Zhou looked confused.
Zhao Chen, who returned to the Zhao Mansion, immediately called some tailors: "I will come up with creative designs. You can make these things immediately according to my requirements."
A tailor smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, just say, I am an old tailor."
"good."
Then, Zhao Chen directly drew what he needed on the paper. It looked like two semicircular pieces of cloth with a rope behind it. In addition, there was a thin piece of cloth with an empty space on it. Round, with two more holes cut underneath.
Looking at the items Zhao Chen needed, the tailors were all confused as to what they were.
"Just follow the instructions. In addition, you can add some patterns, such as peonies. They must look good. You can find someone who is good at embroidery."
"Okay, Mr. Zhao."
"It needs to be done quickly. It's best to finish it in a few days."
After finishing this, Zhao Chen called another craftsman.
"Go and call some craftsmen to come over. You are going to do these few things. Go to the wild to collect flowers immediately. The bigger the better, pick whatever flowers you have for me. If there are not enough, buy them."
These craftsmen are very efficient and are people borrowed from the Ministry of Industry.
Soon, cart after cart of flowers were all transported to the Zhao Mansion and into the open-door craftsman's workshop.
Zhao Chen looked at the craftsman in front of him and asked, "How are you treated?"
The craftsman was confused: "Go back to my consort, I will be paid twenty taels of silver a year."
"So little? Just do it with me, at least forty taels a year."
The craftsman was dumbfounded: "Is this okay?"
¡°If there¡¯s anything I can¡¯t do, I¡¯ll tell the Ministry of Works later.¡±
The craftsman was overjoyed: "Thank you, Prince Consort."
"Okay, I will now teach you how to make perfume. Remember, no other person can know the whole process except you."
"yes."
Perfume, in ancient times, was a must-have for women and had a fatal attraction for them. This was the case in Qingshui Village before, but now, Zhao Chen wants to bring perfume to the stage in Chang'an. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
