Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

According to modern historians, rubber was originally produced in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, and was later brought back to Europe by Columbus when he returned from the Americas. Later, with the beginning of the British colonial era, they introduced rubber trees to Southeast Asia and opened plantations there to specialize in the production of rubber.

Therefore, according to modern history books, it was indeed impossible for rubber trees to appear in Southeast Asia during the Tang Dynasty.

But the reason why Li Zexuan asked the Wang family's fleet to help find it was because he was betting that wild rubber trees existed in Southeast Asia a long time ago, because the unique climatic conditions in Southeast Asia were really suitable for rubber trees to grow. can be seen in the group data.

Although rubber trees originated in Brazil, in modern times, Southeast Asia accounts for more than 90% of the global natural rubber production, while Brazil accounts for less than 1%! !

In addition to specific historical conditions, the reason for such a pattern is inseparable from the unique climatic conditions in Southeast Asia.

So Li Zexuan was guessing whether there were wild rubber trees in Southeast Asia before the Tang Dynasty or even longer, and then they became extinct for some reason. Brazil is up! ,

I have to say that the reason why he has such a fluke mentality is that he went to the doctor in a hurry. Who made Datang have no fleet to cross the Pacific Ocean and reach the Americas!

But luckily, his fluke came true!

The Wang family's fleet really found wild rubber in Southeast Asia!

How could this not make him ecstatic?

At this time, he couldn't care about waiting for the imperial decree at home, and directly urged Wang Renbiao to go to the pier with him.

So, the tragic Wang Renbiao didn't sit on the bench as soon as he entered the room. Oh, it should be because the sofa didn't get hot, so he was called out again!

.....................................

"No, the rubber is packed in wooden barrels, and it's still on the boat! Xiaoxuan, wait, I'll have someone find a small boat and take you to the big boat to see~!"

Arriving at the pier, Wang Renbiao pointed to several building boats on the river with the flag of the Wang family and said.

"Well, it's work!"

Li Zexuan bowed his hands and thanked him.

Wang Renbiao smiled and turned to leave.

Li Zexuan was looking at the scene on the dock. Compared with the morning, there were already many fewer people and ships. The court's 500 official ships were all gone. It seemed that it was Xiao Yu and Yan Lide. It has been arranged. It is estimated that most of the official ships are already on the waterway to Luoyang.

Although the official ships have been arranged, the tasks of the two court bosses are not over. They still need to arrange officials on the spot to collect taxes on the merchant ships that have participated in the south sea trade. This task is not easy.

I saw two old guys set up desks on the pier to serve as temporary office spaces. There was not even a sunshade above their heads. Compared with some people in later generations, the outfits of these two are really shabby. ! But they are the real public servants of the people, and they deserve everyone's respect!

"Uncle Yan, Elder Xiao Ge! You two are still busy!"

With the respect in his arms for this older generation of "revolutionaries" who really did practical work, Li Zexuan walked over and greeted the two of them.

"Yo! Xiaoxuan, you're here? The old man heard that you were in the morning and was named the founding marquis by His Majesty. I'm so happy!"

Yan Lide heard the sound, looked up, and suddenly said with a smile on his face.

He knew that his son Yan Shaoning seemed to have an "object" in the academy. Although the other party was not a daughter of five surnames and seven Wangs or other wealthy families, the girl was the daughter of a contemporary Mo family tycoon, and this identity was for other families. It's nothing, but for the Yan family of the engineering family, it's a lot to say!

Well, in general, Yan Lide agrees with this marriage! He knew that his son was obsessed with construction machinery all day long, like a lump of elm wood, but he never imagined that he was actually "being in a relationship" now. This made Yan Lide happy, and at the same time he was somewhat grateful to Li Zexuan.

Xiao Yu nodded and smiled at Li Zexuan, which was considered a greeting.

"Thank you Uncle Yan! The prince of the country or something, it's just His Majesty's love!"

Li Zexuan replied with a smile, then he fanned his face with his hand twice, and said to Yan Lide and the two: "Why don't you two let people build a shed on such a hot day? Anyway, come, but I have a great loss to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Oh, how could there be that time!"

Yan Lide sighed, pointed to the endless boat on the river, and said:

"It is good to say that the official ships of the imperial court have turned around and headed directly to Luoyang, but there are more than 1,000 private fleets. The value of the goods on their ships is very troublesome to count. Today, almost all the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are They have all been transferred here, but even so, it is estimated that these ships cannot all dock and unload before dark!"

When Li Zexuan heard it, he also felt that the amount of engineering that Yan Lide and the others were facing was really too large, especially those old officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who still used a more traditional calculation algorithm, and the calculation speed was simply touching.

Although Li Er had issued a decree a few months ago to promote new arithmetic across the country, but facing a new knowledge, it always takes some time to receive and digest it. Some people are old and their ability to accept new knowledge is limited. Worse, the speed is also slower.

"This is not the way

, Uncle Yan, Elder Xiao Ge, I will send someone to build a few sheds for you in a while, and bring you some ice cubes and ice water by the way, otherwise, it will be bad if you suffer from heat stroke! "

Li Zexuan wiped his sweat and said.

Yan Lide and Xiao Yu don't have time to do this, but he has time! Seeing two elderly people over 50 years old, silently dedicating themselves to this country under the scorching sun, he felt a little uncomfortable. However, it is precisely because of people like them that the Tang Dynasty will gradually become stronger, until it is invincible in the world!

The two old guys smiled, but they didn't reject Li Zexuan's kindness. The officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who were busy accounting for their accounts seemed to have heard the conversation here. At this moment, their handwriting movements couldn't help but become more cheerful.

"Marquis of Yongan, this old man heard that you have a group of students who are quite proficient in math. Why don't you call them over to help you fight?"

Xiao Yu raised his head at this moment, looked at Li Zexuan and smiled.

Since the imperial court implemented the new arithmetic, he has also studied the arithmetic textbook compiled by Li Zexuan in private. Even if he is as picky as he is, he has to admit that the new arithmetic has an incomparable advantage in terms of calculation speed, which is why he will say this now. .

Li Zexuan was startled, then smiled bitterly: "Elder Xiao, it's not that the boy is unwilling to cooperate, it's really my group of students who are still training in the academy at the moment! I can't go away!"
