Datang: A Technological Power

After hearing Xu Chen's description of the sweater, Grandpa Luo immediately showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Wool for clothes? Hahaha! Why didn't I think of that? We eat mutton all day long, but we ignore wool. This is so stupid!"

At this time, the people of the Tang Dynasty were not so keen on pork, and oxen could not be slaughtered, so the meat they ate was mainly mutton. No wonder Grandpa Luo scolded himself for being stupid.

This ready-made good thing, why didn't he know how to use it!

"Wool is indeed a good thing, but it is not like hemp and silk, nor is it like animal skin. It may be difficult to make clothes out of it."

Zhao Bo frowned slightly and murmured.

He is a teacher in the village, with a lot of knowledge and a long-term perspective. The Turks have countless flocks of sheep, but they have not seen them do anything big with wool. It can be seen that it is somewhat difficult to turn wool into treasure.

After all, according to the course of history, the real sweaters flowed into China after the 18th and 19th centuries. Without the foundation of light industry, even a wearable sweater could not be made!

"Don't be afraid, I have designed a set of tools, come, take a look."

Xu Chen waved his hand, took out a roll of gray-yellow paper from the house, held a charcoal pencil in his hand, and drew the machine in his mind exactly as it was.

The data of each part was marked in great detail. The whole machine was made of wood as the main material, and iron sheets were used instead of places that were prone to wear.

Just this design drawing, even if it was placed in the world before the crossing, might win the first prize in the World Design Competition!

Grandpa Luo and the other two looked at this exquisite design drawing, their eyes almost popped out, especially Zhao Bo, he stroked the drawing carefully, as if he was stroking a close lover……

"My goodness, Xiaochen, how did you come up with this idea? Are you a descendant of the Mohist school?!"

"This design drawing... I can't understand it. I'm afraid there are only a few people in the entire Chang'an City who can understand this drawing, right?"

"Yes, I think only people in the government can build such a machine.……"

There was no other way. This technology was too advanced. Zhao Bo, who had the highest level of education in Qinglong Village, was only a scholar, and the others were basically semi-illiterate.

Even if they had the blueprint, they couldn't make it with their abilities!

Thinking of this, the three of them showed helplessness on their faces. They couldn't eat the meat that was delivered to their mouths!

"Uh, is this thing difficult to make?"

Xu Chen was slightly stunned when he saw the helpless expressions of the three people.

The manufacturing level of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be several levels behind what he had imagined.

"Yes, host. The design drawings given by this system are limited to the ceiling of the manufacturing level of the Tang Dynasty. Only by finding the best engineers in the country can it be made."

The system's answer confirmed this guess. If you want to make this machine, you can only go to Chang'an City to find someone.

And those powerful craftsmen and engineers are probably officials in the court, right?

After going around in circles, you still can't get around Li Shimin!

The four people present all have something on their minds, and they all look sad. The room is frighteningly quiet, and at this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

""Miss Wu is here?"

As soon as the words fell, a beautiful curve came into view.

The girl in front of him looked only ten years old, but she had grown into a little beauty, with a slender figure and a fair and tender face.

She was obviously a girl from a wealthy family. Her eyes were even more charming, as if they had a kind of breathtaking beauty.

In ancient times, the average life expectancy was short, and it was very normal for girls to get engaged at the age of eleven or twelve, and to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Don't look at her young age, she will get married in two years!

"Hey, Xiao Wu, why are you here?"

Xu Chen's face froze when he saw the girl, and he smiled awkwardly.

Who could have thought that this innocent and lovely girl in front of him would be the future powerful and domineering Empress Wu Zetian?!

It's all because of that damn history! Why is it different from what is written in the book? According to normal development, Wu Zetian should be just a little girl of two or three years old now, and her father Wu Shiyue should have died when she was 12 years old. Wu Zetian was oppressed and humiliated. There is soil for the development of the empress...

Now, Wu Shigui's original wife died earlier, and he immediately found Yang as his second wife and gave birth to three daughters, the second daughter of which is naturally Xiao Wu.

Wu Shigui's fiefdom is near Qinglong Village. Xiao Wu has been lively and active since she was a child, so she naturally became familiar with Xu Chen, the child king of the neighboring village.

In fact, her feelings for Xu Chen are somewhat unclear...

According to her words, a ten-year-old girl should choose a husband, and she thinks Xu Chen is good!

"Ernan, you are here? Come and sit here with Grandpa Luo."

Grandpa Luo greeted her with a smile.

In terms of status, Xiao Wu is also the legitimate daughter of Duke Ying, and she is quite influential in this area. It is naturally beneficial to have a good relationship with her.

Moreover, this girl is also good-looking and has been very smart since she was a child. Only Xu Chen can surpass her.

Who doesn't like such a girl?

"Grandpa Luo, please don't call me Ernan, please call me Xiaowu!"

Xiaowu pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

It's funny to say that her mother Yang wanted to give birth to a son, but the three daughters were all daughters. The eldest daughter was called Danan, and the second daughter was naturally called Ernan...

Xiaowu was naturally very dissatisfied with this name.

She didn't listen to Grandpa Luo, but moved to the side of Xu Chen, sat on a stool with Xu Chen, and said coquettishly,

"Brother Chen, you haven't come to play with me for a long time. Don't you like Xiao Wu anymore?"

Xu Chen:"？？？"

Grandpa Luo and others:"……"

Who can resist this! This is Empress Wu Zetian, whose appearance alone is unparalleled in the world. If she acts like this...

Fortunately, this girl is still young. If she is a little older, at the age of 14 or 15, when it is time to get married, with that figure... He really can't control himself.

""Ahem, Xiao Wu, Grandpa Luo and I are talking about serious matters. This winter is cold and the villagers don't know how to survive."

Xu Chen had no choice but to hold her hand, comfort her with a few words, and pointed to the drawings in front of him and explained patiently.

There are some things he may not be able to think of, but with Xiao Wu's cleverness, maybe there is a way to solve it?

"Wool processing machine? Make wool into sweaters that can keep you warm?"

After listening to Xu Chen's description, Xiao Wu stroked his smooth chin and pondered for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said,

"I'll go ask my father, maybe someone in the court can solve this problem."

She paused for a moment, then turned to look at Xu Chen, and said with a smile:

"Brother Chen, Daddy is going to arrange a marriage for me soon. When will you come to my house to propose marriage?"

Xu Chen:"……#￥%！！！"
