In just over an hour, ten carpenters and ten blacksmiths were already in place.
Empress Zhangsun had given him another courtyard next to the small courtyard he lived in as a temporary workshop.
"Young Master Xiao, I am the leader of these people, Hao Dagen. If you have any orders, just say it. We are craftsmen with more than ten years of craftsmanship.”The leading craftsman said respectfully to Xiao Tian.
When Xiao Tian heard this name, he immediately cursed in his heart. Such a big root? F * ck! I'm so talented, but I'm too embarrassed to give it such a name!
"I'll call you Big Brother Hao." "I called everyone here this time because I want to borrow your hands to create something." Xiao Tian said gently. Do any of you have any experience in making carriages? Step forward."
Immediately, seven or eight people stepped forward.
Xiao Tian nodded and said,"This time, the carriage we are going to build is a little different from the carriages you have built in the past." The carriage we want to build is a four-wheeled carriage!”
"Four-wheeled carriage?" " Young Master, you might not know this," Hao Dagen immediately said." There were people who thought of using this four-wheeled carriage before, but it could only be used for long-distance transportation of grain because four-wheeled carriages cannot turn."”
Xiao Tian was a little surprised. He didn't expect this big root to be such a talent! As a modern person, he only knew that there were no four-wheeled carriages in ancient times when he was chatting with his friends after he went to university. However, he did not understand the principle at first.
Then, Xiao Tian used his exclusive cheat tool, Teemo, to give him the blueprint of the four-wheeled carriage he found on the Internet. He explained to the craftsmen how to build a four-wheeled carriage so that it could turn.
In addition, he also hand-drew some exterior drawings of the four-wheeled carriage for the carpenters present. If he wanted to rely on this to earn money, he had to look good. He had to make people think that he was high-class before they would be willing to spend the money and spend it comfortably!
Suddenly, the craftsmen looked at Xiao Tian differently. They had been respectful to Xiao Tian because Empress Zhangsun's personal servant girl had personally arranged for them to come over, letting them know that Xiao Tian's identity was extraordinary. It could be said that this was respect for Xiao Tian's identity.
Now, it was respect in the professional field.
After returning to her courtyard, Xiao He was fiddling with the butterfly hairpin. When she saw Xiao Tian return, she quickly put her hand behind her back.
Xiao Tian pretended not to see Xiao He's little actions. Girls were thin-skinned. Sometimes, they could joke around. Jokes could improve their relationship. However, he couldn't joke around, just like now!
What Xiao Tian did not know was that in just two hours, the story of him defeating Kong Yingda three times in three battles had already spread outside the palace.
Who was Kong Yingda? Confucius '32nd great-great-grandson, Crown Prince Li Chengqian's teacher!
In the beginning, those who heard this news all scoffed at it. However, those who spread this news all had noses and eyes. Even the questions of the three competitions were not wrong at all. He asked around and found out that although the version was different, the fact that Xiao Tian had defeated Kong Yingda had not changed.
After Cheng Mingyue received the news, she quickly went to the Zhangsun family and jogged into Li Lizhi's room. Without even taking a breath, she said,"Lizhi, Lizhi, have you heard? Xiao Tian, the one who painted you and me yesterday. He had a competition with Mr. Kong Yingda today and won!”
"Ming Yue, you came to tell me this? He and I have only met by chance. What does what he has done have anything to do with me?”Li Lizhi asked calmly.
Cheng Mingyue's heart skipped a beat.
The person who understood Li Lizhi the most wasn't Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, or her husband Zhangsun Chong. It was Cheng Mingyue.
Li Lizhi was very calm, almost without any flaws. However, the problem was that Kong Yingda was once Li Lizhi's teacher. In addition, Xiao Tian had defeated Kong Yingda. It was such a big matter, but Li Lizhi was still so calm. She did not even have the slightest bit of curiosity. This was too abnormal!
Li Lizhi was hiding it!
This was Cheng Mingyue's conclusion!
That damned Xiao Tian! Cheng Mingyue was still happy for Xiao Tian just now, but at this moment, Xiao Tian was dead.
The two women had their own worries. After chatting for a while, Cheng Mingyue found an excuse to leave. She still had to go back and think carefully about what to do!
As soon as Cheng Mingyue left, Li Lizhi, who had been sitting on a cushion and hadn't gotten up even when Cheng Mingyue arrived, seemed to have collapsed.
After stabilizing herself, she quickly took out a piece of paper from under the cushion. Then, she hardened her heart and pinched the middle of the paper with her thumb and index finger. However, when she saw her own beautiful smile on the paper, she couldn't bear to tear the painting that Xiao Tian had given her.
At the same time, in the Purple Emperor Hall, Li Shimin had just finished dealing with government affairs.
"Erlang, you can't finish dealing with government affairs. These few days, you've only slept for six to six hours a day. If this continues, your body will collapse.”
Rubbing his swollen head, Li Shimin sighed to Empress Zhangsun,""I can't sleep! The flood this year was more serious than expected. Less than 10% of Henan Province's farmland is left, and more than a million people are displaced. How can I sleep?”
"Erlang, haven't you already made King Hejian personally take charge of this disaster relief?”Empress Zhangsun had not taken the flood seriously at first.
Unlike past disasters, the Great Tang's granaries were at least seventy to eighty percent full. The loss of Hejian Path's output would affect the Great Tang, but it would not shake its foundations.
Empress Zhangsun might always cry about poverty in front of everyone, but in reality, the Great Tang was at its most prosperous period since its founding. It was not an exaggeration to call it a golden age.
"Guanyin maid, you don't know!" "If things were that simple, why would I be so worried?" Li Shi Min frowned. After the great calamity, there would definitely be a great plague! Henan Road is so close to Chang 'an and is a densely populated area. Once an epidemic occurs, it will shake the foundation of our Great Tang.”
