I Open a General Store in Early Tang

Zhuang Zhou, unemployed at home, unexpectedly obtained a time-space gate that could travel to the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, and could also carry items with him. Thus, Zhuang Zhou embarked on...

Chapter 277: Long Talk All Night!!!

Zhuang Zhou told Li Er about his plan one by one.

Including developing agricultural production, strengthening military defense, and promoting industrial progress.

And the introduction of solar power generation.

After hearing this, Li Er widened his eyes in amazement.

Each of these can be set as national policy.

"Brother, your ideas are beyond my imagination!

Tell me more about it, I want to hear what your plan is."

Zhuang Zhou responded:

“This firstly involves developing agricultural production, and I can provide a large amount of high-yield crop seeds.

I can get seeds of all kinds, and I just need to wait until next spring to plant them."

Li Erdao:

"But we haven't dealt with the oxen yet. Can we get the rotary tiller you mentioned?"

"Don't worry!"

Zhuang Zhou smiled and replied:

“As long as the money is in place, I can get it in minutes.

Let me tell you, this rotary tiller is easy to operate and has a very high efficiency in turning the soil.

In addition, I can also introduce some new agricultural technologies.

For example, precision agriculture and water-saving irrigation can further optimize the agricultural production process."

Li Er listened attentively, but of course he didn't understand.

His face was filled with an expression of utmost admiration.

He couldn't wait to ask:

"So, how do you plan to strengthen military defenses next?"

Zhuang Zhou did not answer but asked:

"Brother Qin, do you know anything about gunpowder?"

"gunpowder?"

Li Er tasted it, shook his head and said:

"I've never heard of this. What is this?"

Zhuang Zhou had actually anticipated this.

Gunpowder was indeed invented in the Tang Dynasty.

But it was in the late Tang Dynasty.

It was the Zhenguan period, and no one knew anything about gunpowder.

Speaking of which, this thing is one of the four great inventions of ancient times.

This will be an extremely important strategic material.

Once it comes out, the creation of thermal weapons will open up a new mode of warfare for mankind.

Change the entire world order.

Zhuang Zhou explained it again and finally said:

“With this gunpowder, we will be able to develop firearms that will have a greater range than bows and arrows.

Rockets, artillery and other weapons can destroy the enemy's defense line in a short period of time, forcing the enemy to flee.

Furthermore, gunpowder can also be used in mining, road construction, reef blasting and other fields, greatly improving production efficiency."

Then he praised the grenades, mortars, rocket launchers, etc. of later generations.

Like directly bombing the enemy’s central camp from thousands of miles away.

It's effortless at all.

Li Er had already been fascinated by what he heard.

There is such a domineering weapon in this world.

After calming down, he asked again:

“What about the industrial plan you mentioned?

Any good ideas?"

Zhuang Zhou replied:

"As for the industrial plan, I think it will mainly involve improvements in roads and housing.

Let me tell you, there is something called cement.

This stuff can be mixed with sand and gravel to form concrete, which has a wide range of uses."

Li Er urged:

"For example?"

"Take this road for example, using this concrete to pave the road makes it extremely smooth.

It can also be used to build houses and structures. Can you imagine a house that is two hundred and fifty feet high?"

The tallest building in later generations is the Burj Khalifa, which has 163 floors and is 828 meters high.

One zhang is about 3.3 meters, which is about 250 zhang.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Li Er immediately waved his hand and said:

“The tallest house has a height of ten zhang.

Even if you truly cultivate to a height of two hundred and fifty feet, you will fall down if the wind blows."

Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:

"I've actually seen it... on TV."

"television?"

Li Er was stunned by this sudden term:

"What is this?"

"Don't worry about that detail."

Zhuang Zhou ignored it and said:

“With cement, the roads throughout Chang’an can be paved smoothly.

In addition to building roads, it can also be used to build bridges and city walls, and has a wide range of uses."

Hearing this, Li Er stood up excitedly:

"My dear brother, you are so insightful!

I have never heard of what you said.

I'm really looking forward to implementing all the plans you mentioned."

Zhuang Zhou said:

“These things cannot be accomplished overnight, I am telling you this much now.

Because I think you and I can piss in the same pot, otherwise I wouldn't say it!"

After that, Li Er said:

"But I don't want to pee now!"

Zhuang Zhou: “…”

All right!

Too lazy to explain!

The two of them ate and drank, and finished all the dishes on the table.

I also finished almost two bottles of Moutai.

In the blink of an eye, it was dusk.

Hongyu also came back. When she heard that Zhuang Zhou was drinking in the backyard, she hurried in.

But he saw that Zhuang Zhou's face was already red.

She was arm in arm with a middle-aged man, talking and gesticulating.

Not far away, there was a man standing on one side with a sword hanging from his waist.

This person is none other than the leader of the Jinwu Guard, Li Junxian.

Speaking of which.

Li Junxian had been standing here looking at the emperor and Zhuang Zhou, talking for the entire afternoon.

At first, the two were polite to each other.

But later on, both of them completely lost their shape.

One talks incessantly.

One was very excited when he heard it.

In the end, they were arm in arm.

Li Junxian often heard His Majesty praising Zhuang Zhou, so he didn't bother to care.

My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
