The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 88 Hydraulic Machinery
Everyone didn't have any special thoughts about his behavior, Li Shimin was frowning and thinking.

The eldest grandson Wugou pretended to be disgusted and said: "Those two nutty little sons have been pinching for half an hour, they are sweaty, you don't think it's dirty."

Chen Jingke was even more relieved, stretched out his hand to hug the little girl, and said, "Our little girl is not dirty, is she?"

Princess Jinyang giggled even more happily, stretched out her small hands to hug his neck, turned her head and said to eldest grandson Wugou: "Mother is dirty."

After speaking, she quickly buried her head in his arms and acted like a little ostrich.

The eldest grandson Wugou pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, you little heartless, don't look for mother in the future, go with your elder brother."

Chen Jingke said with a smile: "Let's go, Xiao Si, don't worry, I will cook delicious food for you every day, as well as fun toys."

Princess Jinyang nodded her head fiercely: "Okay."

The eldest grandson Wugou jokingly said: "Then marry you to him, okay, and spend the rest of your life with him."

The little girl actually thought about it seriously, and then said crisply: "Okay."

"Haha..." The eldest grandson Wugou leaned forward and back together with a smile: "You heard it, she will be your little wife from now on, take her away."

Chen Jingke has a black line on his forehead, is there a mother like you?

"Cough!!!" Li Shimin on the side glanced at his little son, suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and changed the subject with a dry cough:

"That's a good ending, let's just print it."

Chen Jingke also heaved a sigh of relief, picking on Party A is the most annoying thing, and it is best to pass it once.

In fact, he had expected this result a long time ago. Every time he wrote a chapter, he would send it to the palace. Sometimes he came to tell them in person, and the parts that should be revised had already been revised.

There are not many places where there are really major changes. The main thing is to add a chapter about Lao Tzu marrying a wife and having children.

In addition, when he decided to go west, he told his descendants: If I fail to complete my work, the descendants of future generations should also take on the important task of evangelizing the world to resolve the calamity.

Li Shimin hopes that through the content of this chapter, Li Tang will be clothed with a layer of destiny.

Chen Jingke wanted to use these contents to make Taoism and Tang Dynasty more aggressive, and even make Chinese civilization more aggressive.

Of course, it is impossible to do it with only one novel, and he will have more related actions in the future. Journey to the West is just the beginning.

He said: "Okay, then let the Ministry of Industry Press publish it."

Li Shimin said angrily: "Are you stupid, can this book pass the imperial court's hands? Use your own book printing house to print it."

Chen Jingke was a little puzzled, why did he suddenly become so irritable, wasn't he fine just now?Even if he didn't think about it properly, he wouldn't talk like this.

But who made you the emperor, I will bear it.

This kind of book is indeed inconvenient for the imperial court to come forward. First, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings in Buddhism;

"Okay, but we are short of paper, can you give me a batch of paper?"

"Look for the queen, and let her arrange it for you." Li Shimin paused, and said to his eldest grandson Wugou: "He doesn't need such good paper for miscellaneous books like this, so send him a batch of the worst ones."

Chen Jingke was so angry... Xiao Si is still good, the Li family is the only good person.

Changsun Wugou rolled his eyes, first looked at Li Shimin, then at Chen Jingke and the little son in his arms, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll give him the worst batch."

Then he said with deep emotion: "The price of paper is still too expensive. It would be great if it could be made cheaper, so that the price of books can be lowered."

Li Shimin nodded and shook his head again: "Paper making is troublesome, especially making pulp requires a lot of manpower and time. The price of paper has already been reduced, unless the pulp problem can be solved."

With the printing technology, he has the opportunity to compete with the gentry for the right to speak, but paper is still too expensive, and there is no way to further lower the price of books.

This is a problem of productivity, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Hearing this, Chen Jingke's heart moved, and he said, "I may have a solution to the pulp problem."

Li Shimin cheered up immediately, and said, "Oh, what can I do?"

Chen Jingke put Princess Jinyang down, and ran to the desk to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and explained while drawing on the paper: "This is a waterwheel... This is a pulverizer... This is a blender..."

The hydraulic structure is actually not that complicated, and the structure of the pulverizer and mixer is even simpler. You can almost know what's going on at a glance.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou are smart people, and they quickly understood the principle of this thing.The couple glanced at each other and could see each other's excitement.

If this mechanism can be realized, the price of paper can really be reduced several times.

Changsun Wugou said, "Jing Ke, how sure are you that you can build this kind of mechanism?"

Chen Jingke said affirmatively: "Give me a few skilled carpenters, blacksmiths, and mechanism craftsmen, and I am very sure that I can make it."

"Not just pulverizers and mixers, but hydraulic punches, hydraulic mills, hydraulic bed saws..."

The eldest grandson Wugou hurriedly said: "Okay, I will send you the craftsmen you need from the general supervisor, and build these mechanisms as soon as possible. Don't worry, Auntie will not let you suffer."

Chen Jingke pretended to be casual and said: "Hey, why is aunt so polite. It's useless for me to keep these things. Only by giving them to you can they play their true role."

The eldest grandson Wugou was very moved, and said: "You are really a good child of my aunt, don't worry, I have prepared a big reward for you, and you will definitely be satisfied in the future."

Li Shimin was also very satisfied with his attitude, but due to his status, he couldn't say anything too explicit, he just said:
"It's good to know how to serve the country. I will clearly reward and punish you, and I will reward you together in the future."

Chen Jingke said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "You can discuss with Cheng Xuanying, Pan Shizheng and Tian Shiwen about promoting Journey to the West, which should save you a lot of trouble."

If Chen Jingke had just traveled through time, he would definitely be at a loss. Who are these three people?Why are you looking for them?

In the past six months, he has learned about the situation of Taoism in detail, and he is very familiar with these three names.

Cheng Xuanying is a representative of the Chongxuan School, proficient in Confucianism and Taoism, was canonized by Li Shimin as Master Xihua, and has a very high status in Taoism.

Master Pan is the successor of Wang Yuanzhi, the leader of the Maoshan School in the Shangqing Dynasty.

There are two supreme gods in Shangqing Dao, Taishang Daojun and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Wang Yuanzhi has been doing one thing, linking the Taishang Daojun and Lao Tzu together. After he became a fairy, this important task fell on Pan Shizheng.

In Journey to the West, the Taishang Laojun is the incarnation of Daode Tianzun, who became Laozi after descending to earth, so that the two sides have a basis for cooperation.

Tian Shiwen is the contemporary leader of Louguan Taoism. Louguan Taoism respects Yin Xi as his patriarch, and in Journey to the West there is also a section where Yin Xi studied with Lao Tzu.

And because of this relationship, Li Tang regarded Louguan Dao as the royal temple, and built Zongsheng Temple as the dojo of Louguan Dao during the reign of Wude.

Another point has been mentioned before that Lou Guan Taoism belongs to the conservative sect, especially against Buddhism.

Although the older generation has become immortal one after another, and the new generation is less extreme, they will never let go of any opportunity to suppress Buddhism.

With the above foundation, cooperation with these three companies can promote Journey to the West faster, and can also share the pressure from Buddhism.
