Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Xiaoyu asked softly, "Your Majesty, would you like to have dinner?"

Li Shimin shook his head: "No, I'll go to the backyard to take a look."

Arriving at the backyard, Li Shimin looked into the distance, frowning and saying, "The grain harvest is also a big problem. It concerns people's livelihood and cannot be ignored."

Li Hao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I know of something that can make farming easier for the common people."

Xiaoyu looked at the vegetables in the backyard and gestured, "This thing is called a curved plow, and it has great advantages. It's flexible to operate, the depth can be adjusted, and a single ox can easily pull it."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up: "Really? Then I don't have to worry so much about the people's hardship of farming."

Yuyu squatted down and looked at the vegetables. "Yes, yes, yes. Even without oxen, human labor can still pull the crops. This can greatly reduce the labor force, improve farming efficiency, and perhaps improve the grain harvest."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up: "Are you serious? Tell me in detail."

Cheng Chumo muttered: "There are farm tools like this? I've never seen one before."

Li Hao brought over some fruit and pastries. "Your Majesty, there are also papermaking and movable type printing. Papermaking makes paper easier to produce, reduces costs, and facilitates the widespread distribution of books and other materials."

Yuyu chewed on a bag and said, "Yes, yes, movable type printing is even more amazing. It doesn't have to be as rigid as before. It allows for flexible typesetting and the typefaces can be reused."

Xiaoyu patted her clothes and said, "Movable type printing can save a lot of manpower and material resources, print books faster, and spread knowledge more quickly in our Tang Dynasty."

"If Your Majesty is interested, please ask Yuyu to draw the blueprints."

Li Shimin was delighted: "If this is true, it will be a blessing for our Tang Dynasty. Yuyu, go and handle it quickly."

Xiaoyu pulled Yuyu over and said, "Ask the system if it can draw a blueprint. I don't remember what it looks like."

Yuyu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I will go and draw a blueprint first."

"go"

Yuyu walked into the kitchen and asked the system: "System, draw a blueprint for the curved plow."

System: "[Host, you finally came to me. The curved plow blueprint, right? Okay, I'll be right there.]"

[Ding~ Obtained a blueprint for a curved plow]

Yu Yu only felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and a clear and detailed blueprint of a curved plow appeared in front of him.

She quickly reached out to take it and examined it carefully. "This blueprint meticulously depicts every component of the curved plow, from the plowshare to the plowshare beam, from the plowshare arrows to the plowshare spurs. Every component is clearly labeled."

“The system is indeed the system.”

【Thank you host～】

Yuyu was about to go back to the backyard: "System, yes, I forgot there are drawings of papermaking and movable type printing."

[Host, you have a good memory. Fortunately, you remembered it again.]

[Ding~ A detailed introduction and simple schematic diagram of papermaking and movable type printing have been generated for the host. Please take a look.]

Yu Yu carefully held the drawings and methods related to the curved plow, papermaking and movable type printing that she had obtained from the system.

She hurried back to find the emperor: "I have to go back quickly, the emperor is still waiting."

Upon seeing the emperor, Yu Yu bowed respectfully, and then said with a face full of joy: "Your Majesty, I have previously mentioned to Your Majesty the curved plow, as well as papermaking and movable type printing."

"I have already drawn up detailed drawings and introductions, and I am here to present them to Your Majesty." After saying this, he presented the paper in his hands with both hands.

A hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. He quickly took it and looked at it carefully: "Not bad, but I wonder how it will turn out."

Looking at the clearly marked parts and structures on the curved plow drawing, and looking at the exquisiteness of papermaking and movable type printing.

Li Shimin could not help but nod repeatedly: "If such a wonderful thing can be promoted in our Tang Dynasty, it will surely benefit the people and promote our Tang Dynasty to greater prosperity."

Cheng Chumo stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said, "Your Majesty, this item is truly novel. Could you please lend it to me to have a look? It will broaden my horizons and allow me to carefully ponder its exquisiteness."

Qin Huaidao also hurriedly followed up and said, "Your Majesty, I also beg to be allowed to watch it with you. I am really curious about these novel things."

Li Shimin smiled slightly, raised his hand and said, "I approve, take it."

"But be careful not to damage it. The things depicted in this blueprint may bring many benefits to our Tang Dynasty. We need to study it carefully."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao quickly responded in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Rest assured, Your Majesty, we will be cautious and study it carefully."

After that, the two of them stepped forward and respectfully took the blueprint, then gathered together and began to look at it carefully.

Cheng Chumo carefully studied the blueprints and marveled, "I can't believe that such an amazing object can be made from these common materials."

"This curved plow looks ingeniously constructed, yet it only requires common materials. I think it shouldn't be difficult to popularize it in the future."

Qin Huaidao also echoed, "Yes, there is also the papermaking technique and movable type printing. The materials used are not rare and difficult to find. If they can be widely implemented in our Tang Dynasty, the dissemination of books will be more convenient."

"Knowledge can be popularized faster, which is really amazing." After saying that, the two of them studied the details on the drawings more attentively.

Cheng Chumo carefully smoothed the blueprint and said to Qin Huai, "Qin, we've almost finished looking at it. We shouldn't delay the Emperor with such a good thing. Let's return it to him as soon as possible."

Qin Huaidao nodded in agreement, and the two of them stood up together and respectfully came to Li Shimin holding the drawings.

Cheng Chumo bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we have carefully examined it. Thank you for allowing us to see this wonderful invention. I will now return the blueprint."

Qin Huaidao also said: "Your Majesty, these inventions are truly ingenious. We hope that they can be promoted in the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible to benefit the people."

Li Shimin took the blueprint and waved his hand: "Okay, I'm going back to the palace. You guys stay in Zuixian Tower."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao responded in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty, we will fulfill our duties and protect Zuixian Tower."

At this time, Yuyu came forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, would you mind taking some of the braised pork back with you? Let the ladies in the harem have some too."

Li Shimin heard this and smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Okay, then take some back, I am a little hungry."

After saying that, the servants hurried to prepare to pack the braised pork for Li Shimin to enjoy when he returned to the palace.

The emperor took the blueprint and got into the carriage carefully.

Sitting in the carriage, he couldn't help but unfold the blueprint again and examine it carefully: "Although I don't know the principle, I think it makes sense. Since the Yuyu family said it's okay, then it should be fine."

He took out a bottle of herbal tea and took a sip: "Suck! Such a good thing! Let my concubines, queens, princesses, princes, and yes, the emperor too, have a taste."
