The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1832 The Queen Mother Has Please
Every time Xue Rengui came back from Xiongjin, he would take the initiative to visit Xuan Shijing, first to hear Xuan Shijing's views on Xiongjin. When he was guarding Xiongjin, some methods were to listen to Xuan Shijing What Jing said, he did it there, and it really had a great effect. Now that Xiongjin is so safe and stable, it is also thanks to the idea given by Xuan Shijing.

Secondly, the two of them have been friends for a long time, and they have to come and go frequently.

When Xue Rengui returns to Xiongjin, it must be the new year. Even if some ministers give Xue Rengui eye drops in front of Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian will not go to war in Xiongjin at this juncture. Some of them are still in Woongjin just in case, not Xue Rengui, but those rebellious parties who want to restore the country, and moreover, they are watching the Shimane prefecture of the Wa country across the sea, so that there can be a safe and stable life there. Open mines, and then send silver to Chang'an in a steady stream to enrich the treasury.

Although there are gold and silver mines in Taizhou, the amount that can be mined by technology is limited now, so as the future goes on, the amount of production will become less and less. In the end, there will be no value in continuing to mine. There is no advanced Technology, if you dig deeper, you will definitely die.

Coincidentally, at this time, the silver mine in the country of Wa will be connected. As for Taizhou, after a while, the mine will be closed.

Wei Shuyu has also been in trouble in Taizhou for the past few years. At the time of Niangen, Li Chengqian also issued an edict to transfer Wei Shuyu back to Chang'an. The officials in Taizhou were dispatched again. In the past few years, the development of Taizhou has also We got in touch with Datang. After all, it is close to Quanzhou. Merchants come and go between the straits, which greatly increases the prosperity of Taizhou. In winter, the inland river transportation stops, but sea transportation can still be used. Let's go, the fresh fruits from Taizhou were also transported to the north by sea, and then they were quickly transported to Chang'an, where they were sent to the palace. The benefits of Datang's expansion of territory are obvious.

"Master, the Supreme Emperor sent someone to tell you to go to his house, saying that the Empress Dowager wants to see you." The servants of the mansion came to Xuan Shijing's study and said.

"Okay, I got it, go down and get ready, I'll be out in a while." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." The servant replied.

Xuan Shijing got up, put the stove in his hand on the table, walked to the clothes hanger on the side, took off the cloak hanging on the hanger, and put it on his body.

When they arrived at the gate of the house, the servants had already prepared the carriage. After Xuan Shijing got into the carriage, he headed towards the houses around the academy.

On the way, Xuan Shijing thought hard. It seems that nothing has anything to do with the emperor and empress recently. Why did he suddenly have to summon him?
"Master, we're here." The carriage stopped at the door of the mansion where His Majesty Li Er lived.

Xuan Shijing got off the carriage and came to the gate.

"I've seen you, my little one." The servants of His Majesty Li Er's residence hurried forward to salute Xuan Shijing after seeing him.

"Your Majesty has summoned you here, please go in and report." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands and said.

"Your Majesty said, after Xuangong comes, just go to the back." The servant at the door said: "Xuangong, please."

Xuan Shijing nodded, and walked into His Majesty Li Er's mansion.

The house in winter is not like that in autumn, at least it is still a little green. After winter, there have been two snowfalls. Although the servants in the house are diligent in cleaning, dewdrops can still be seen hanging from the eaves. The sharp icicles, those big icicles, have already been knocked down by the servants, so as not to hit people.

Going around the corridor in the front yard and passing through the arch, you have come to the back house of the mansion. Deyi has long been waiting for Xuan Shijing in the flower hall of the back house. After seeing Xuan Shijing, he arched He bowed his hands and saluted.

"Master of Virtue and Righteousness." Xuan Shijing also met Li, and they are also old acquaintances.

"Grandpa, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty are in the teahouse, come with this old slave." Deyi said.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang." Xuan Shijing replied.

In autumn, when the air is crisp and clear, you can still sit in the gazebo in the backyard. In the cold winter months, why don't you sit in the warm teahouse?

Came to the teahouse, entered the door, saw His Majesty Li Er and the Empress Dowager, Xuan Shijing bowed his hands and saluted.

"Father, Queen Mother."

"Jing'er is here, sit down, come and serve tea." His Majesty Li Er called the servants outside to bring tea to Xuan Shijing.

"I don't know why the father, the queen, and the queen summoned the ministers today."

"For the looms on the Huangzhuang." The Empress Dowager Changsun didn't go around and said directly to Xuan Shijing: "Before winter, the wool fabrics produced on Huangzhuang were already in short supply. Before winter, many merchants in Chang'an City also bought looms and opened workshops, but most of them sold them at high prices to other places besides supplying Chang'an. I was with your father two days ago Zhuangzi walked around, the common people liked this thing very much, but the things on the market are very tight, and most of the common people can’t buy them, even if there are goods, the price is still high, which violates the principle that your father and I The emperor's original intention, so I asked you to think about it, is there any way to produce more, and then lower the price."

"It turned out to be this matter." Xuan Shijing nodded: "My mother, the Institute of Engineering has been working non-stop since autumn to supply this machine. The improved loom is to make a machine for production. One, many people went to the Engineering College to customize it, and it has already been scheduled for next year. The Engineering College has also tried its best. If you want to go faster, unless you dispatch more Artisans, spread this craftsmanship thoroughly."

"It cannot be spread." Hearing Xuan Shijing's words, His Majesty Li Er denied it: "This improved loom is of great importance and cannot be spread."

His Majesty Li Er knew very well how important Xuan Shijing's words about using wool to clamp grasslands were to the Tang Dynasty. Now, for such a small matter, it is necessary to pass on the improved technology of the loom to be able to make this thing. The more people there are, the less good it will be for Datang. If people on the grassland learn it, how will Datang control the grassland?

"Is there any other way?" The eldest grandson asked: "If this continues, how long will it take for all the people in Datang to use it? Is it a long time?"

This is somewhat different from what they thought at the beginning.

"Otherwise, the imperial court will take the lead to bring back those who have left the engineering college before." Xuan Shijing said.
