Datang: A Technological Power

That being said, Li Shimin and others became more and more curious about this Qinglong Village.

A bumper harvest of rice, warm clothes, is this the legendary Peach Blossom Spring? At least from their first glance, the people seemed to have no worries about food and clothing, and a sense of satisfaction hovered over the village.

It would be great if the people of the world could have enough food and clothing like the people in this village!

As an emperor, Li Shimin became more and more eager to know what secrets there were in this Qinglong Village!

At this time, the old man standing next to him suddenly took out a snow-white wool ball from his arms and said with a smile:

"Ah Ping was ignorant and bumped into several distinguished guests from the city. It was really rude. My surname is Luo, and I am the village chief of Qinglong Village."

As he said this, he handed the wool ball to Li Shimin and said with some pride:

"This is the ball of wool in Ah Ping's hand just now. Please feel free to take a look at it, dear guests. It won't break."

Grandpa Luo, as the head of the village, naturally has some ability to judge people. When he saw these people with extraordinary temperament in front of him, he knew that they were distinguished guests from the city.

Xu Chen's plan was to weave the extra wool into sweaters and sell them to the nobles in Chang'an City at a high price. These people in front of him were very likely nobles and wealthy businessmen!

If we could sell things to them, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?

Li Shimin took the ball of wool, weighed it in his hand, and smiled even more. He handed it to Changsun Wuji, and a group of old people started to fight for it again.

This time, everyone was able to flip it in their hands for a while.

""Old man, I want to ask you, what is the origin of this treasure? It has such a good warming effect?"

Li Shimin was like a studious student at this moment, and he quickly expressed his doubts.

"Haha, this thing is called wool yarn, which is made of wool. Needless to say, it has good warmth-keeping ability. Just look at the sweater on me."

Village Chief Luo laughed and unbuttoned his clothes, revealing a snow-white sweater inside!

His clothes were very thin, no more than three layers at most, but he didn't seem to be cold at all, just like a martial arts master who wore only one layer in winter.

This exposure made all the dukes marvel, and they began to imagine in their hearts, if that sweater was worn on their bodies, how comfortable it would be?

"Oh, the old man actually has one too, this is really strange."

Li Shimin was a little surprised, walked up quickly, touched the woolen sweater, and immediately exclaimed,

"It feels so smooth, even better than silk!"

The most important thing is that he felt a surge of heat, as if it was locked in the wool sweater and would not leak out at all.

No wonder the old man is so thin, this woolen coat is equivalent to ten linen clothes!

The conditions in ancient times were difficult, and the people basically wore coarse linen clothes, and some even wore paper clothes! Everyone was like a dumpling, and their teeth couldn't stop trembling.

There is no way, this linen coat doesn't keep him warm! Winter depends entirely on a spirit

"I have seen wool before, but the hair of animals is so complicated, how can it be made into such a thick thread, just like silk?"

Li Shimin looked at the ball of wool, and he became more and more confused, and asked repeatedly.

He ate mutton the most in the palace, so he knew that wool was very warm, but at the same time, wool was not easy to handle. It was soft and fluffy, and it would stink and rot easily after being left for a long time.

Every time, the palace treated it as garbage, and who would have thought that wool was still a treasure?!

"Haha! My dear guest, you may not know that there is a young genius in our village, Qilinzi, who is comparable to the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix in the Three Kingdoms period. If we can get him, we can bring peace to the world!"

Village Chief Luo stroked his white beard and said proudly,

"It was he who invented the wool processing machine! When wool is put into the machine, snow-white wool yarn comes out. We only need to use the wool yarn to weave it, and it will be a warm and cold-resistant wool sweater!"

"This one of mine was made by my wife who stayed up all night last night!"

When introducing Xu Chen, Grandpa Luo was really excited, but he was not exaggerating, it was all true.

"Oh? There is such a god who can turn waste into treasure?!"

Li Shimin was immediately excited, and turned his eyes to the dukes behind him, and said passionately,

"If this wool sweater can be promoted to the people all over the world, so that they can spend the winter warmly, wouldn't it be a great merit?!"

"The inventor of the wool processing machine has immeasurable merits. In my opinion, he should be made a marquis! What do you think?"

The people have two eternal problems: not having enough to eat and not having warm clothes. Now someone can come forward to solve them, even if it is only a partial solution. In Li Shimin's view, it is a great contribution to the country!

"We second the motion."

Several dukes said in unison. Even Changsun Wuji, who was usually the most rigorous, did not object.

He also felt that the inventor of this wool processing machine was qualified to be a marquis!

Li Shimin was quite proud of the affirmation of the ministers. He did not expect that he would have such a surprising discovery just by going out for an outing.

However, he had a bigger doubt in his heart that needed to be solved.

"Old man, I have another question, please answer it."

Li Shimin respected Village Chief Luo very much, bowed slightly to him, and then pointed to the large piece of land and asked,

"This year, the grain harvests in other places are not good, and taxes cannot be collected, but why is there a bumper harvest in your village? This is really hard for me to guess."

Compared with the woolen sweater, the rice is more important in his heart.

Eating is always more important than wearing!

When asked this question, several dukes turned their eyes and stared at Village Chief Luo. They also wanted to know the answer urgently.

Seeing this, Village Chief Luo just smiled, shook his head and sighed:

"This is not something I can explain. After all, I was just farming as I was told. I only know that this kind of rice is called"hybrid rice". The rest is no different from farming in the past. If you want to ask, you have to ask the master."

"Who is the real master? Could it be that young genius?"

Li Shimin took the hand of Village Chief Luo and asked hurriedly,

"What's his name? Is it...Xu Chen?!"

He had a feeling that this young genius was the great master of medicine, Xu Chen!

Not only him, but also Changsun Wuji and others had this guess in their hearts, and Yuchi Gong was even more shocked.

Could it be that he was really his savior?!

Village Chief Luo was slightly stunned and said in surprise:

"How did you know? That's right, his name is Xu Chen."

Please give me flowers and votes...
