That night, Zhuang Zhou left the palace and spent the night at the Zhuang Mansion.

They returned to Qingdu early the next morning.

Then the big purchases began.

What he said last night seemed to have opened the door to a new world for Li Er.

In fact, it will also be a huge challenge for Zhuang Zhou.

Looking at the modern world, he is just an insignificant drop of water in the vast ocean.

But if we look at the Tang Dynasty, Zhuang Zhou is undoubtedly a savior.

Although Li Er was the emperor, he could not escape the limitations of the times.

If the grand blueprints that Zhuang Zhou mentioned could be realized in the Tang Dynasty.

What a prosperous era that will be!

After three busy days, Zhuang Zhou brought back all the things he needed to buy to the Tang Dynasty.

In the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, Zhuangji Grocery Store is now a magical shop.

There are only things you can't imagine, there is nothing that is not in the store.

In fact, these are only temporary substitutes for Zhuang Zhou.

If we really want to change the history of the Tang Dynasty, we must allow the Tang Dynasty to independently develop technology and improve productivity.

Otherwise everything will be in vain.

In view of this.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhuang Zhou entered the palace again and found Li Er.

It was proposed to establish a special institution to study and promote knowledge and technology for future generations in order to make the Tang Dynasty more prosperous.

Zhuang Zhou has already thought of a name for this special institution, which is called "Datang Academy of Sciences"!

When Li Er heard Zhuang Zhou's proposal, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, followed by deep approval.

He knew very well that the Tang Dynasty was now much more powerful than the surrounding countries.

But compared with the world described by Zhuang Zhou, the level of technology is far behind.

It can even be said to be primitive.

Zhuang Zhou's proposal undoubtedly pointed out a new path for the Tang Dynasty.

Improve overall basic technology.

Before, Li Er had no idea what technology was.

Not to mention the saying that 'science and technology are the primary productive forces'.

But just a rotary tiller made him realize that this thing was worth ten oxen.

This is also an extremely important matter for Zhuang Zhou.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

Ultimately, we must solve the problem fundamentally.

Based on the current level of scientific and technological development, it is of greater significance to improve people's conventional thinking and spread a lot of scientific and technological knowledge to future generations!

In addition, Zhuang Zhou has already contacted a technical school in Hyundai to produce a set of professional teaching materials.

It was used specifically to train ancient people who had no modern theoretical knowledge base.

Skill training, better results!

Li Er naturally didn't need to say much about Zhuang Zhou's advice.

Believe it all!

The thing he remembered most vividly during their time together this year was the phrase "The future of the Tang Dynasty needs more talented people to create it together."

For example, Zhuang Zhou had taught the craftsmen in Chang'an how to make gunpowder.

Allowing them to make their own fireworks instead of relying on his time travel.

Because the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month happens to be the New Year's Eve.

That night, Li Er led the Li family members to Da'an Palace for a banquet.

According to Zhuang Zhou, this will be Li Yuan's last New Year's Day.

Li Ershen agreed with this.

Therefore, a special decree was issued to hold a family banquet in Da'an Palace.

Zhuang Zhou was the distinguished guest that Li Yuan specifically requested to be invited.

It was just a dinner, so Zhuang Zhou naturally accepted everyone who came.

After nightfall, heavy snow was already falling from the sky of Chang'an.

But the bright lights in Da'an Palace undoubtedly made people feel much warmer.

When Zhuang Zhou arrived, the long tables in the hall were already full of people.

There was also a warm air floating throughout the hall.

Then, Li Yuan laughed loudly:

"Master Zhuang, you are finally here. Come and take a seat."

Zhuang Zhou responded and looked for a place in the hall for a while.

I haven't found a position that suits me.

Li Yuan waved and beckoned him to come forward and sit down:

"Don't look for it anymore, I've saved it for you!"

Following Li Yuan's instructions, Zhuang Zhou walked to a seat near the main table and sat down.

From this position, you can see the layout of the entire hall, as well as the happy faces and laughter of everyone under the bright lights.

It is obvious that the emperor values ​​Zhuang Zhou very much.

The table was already filled with a variety of delicacies, and the aroma was fragrant.

But Zhuang Zhou's attention was not here.

He looked around and found that there were no one there except Li Yuan and Li Er.

There are also many members of the Li royal family who have never been seen.

At the beginning of the dinner, Li Yuan raised his glass to greet everyone:

"Today is the Little New Year's Eve, and I am hosting a banquet here to celebrate the festival with you all.

May the Tang Dynasty prosper and the people live in peace and prosperity!"

Everyone raised their glasses in response, and the scene was very lively.

Zhuang Zhou also raised his glass and drank, but his mind was full of thoughts.

He knew that this would be Li Yuan's last New Year.

The founding emperor of a new dynasty only had half a year left to live!

After everyone drank a few glasses of wine, Li Yuan jokingly said:

"Master Zhuang, I heard there's something called an air conditioner over at Mount Li that can actually produce warm air even in the middle of winter. But is that true?"

Zhuang Zhou responded and said:

"It does exist, but Changan currently lacks electricity, so it cannot be widely used for the time being."

After hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly said:

“I heard there’s a refrigerator where you can store food and make ice.

I am extremely curious, when will Master Zhuang be able to make such a good thing available to the people of Chang'an?"

Zhuang Zhou smiled, his eyes gleaming with a deep light, and said:
