Chapter 74 The Princess is coming

Here comes again, what Chen Wanrong wants to hear the least is this: "Princess, you also know that I have no interest in being an official, I just want to live my life, and live a stable life, so I am satisfied."

As for ordinary people, what they need is a stable life. Whoever gives him a safe birthday will support him. Princess Taiping will not be unable to hear the meaning of Chen Wanrong's words and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you anymore. If you say that the country is governing, there are many talents in the Tang Dynasty. Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang Shuo are all great talents. However, these good craftsmen who can stand alone are rare."

Yao Chong, Song Jing and Zhang said that the three of them had a very good reputation in the court, but there was one thing that they were not Princess Taiping, and they had a lot of bad Princess Taiping. She actually praised these three people very much. Chen Wanrong really didn't expect that, and a urge of Mo Ming appeared in his heart: "Princess, don't you hate them?"

"Hate?" Princess Taiping narrowed her eyes and stared at Chen Wanrong. She suddenly burst into laughter, laughing happily, like a happy little girl.

Chen Wanrong smiled at her inexplicably. Princess Taiping smiled and then said, "Wanrong, I can hate everyone, but I won't hate the three of them, because they are all talents. They just told the emperor that it would be much better to put me in Luoyang than Wei Zheng. Think about Wei Zheng, Emperor Taizong's "mirror", but Wei Zheng once told Prince Jiancheng that Prince Jiancheng would kill Emperor Taizong. This is a traitor. Isn't it cruel enough? Emperor Taizong not only did not blame Wei Zheng, but also valued Wei Zheng and used him as a "mirror" to achieve the prosperous Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty.

"You think Yao Chong and others will hold a grudge against me, right? Then you are wrong. I won't hold a grudge against them! Of course, I won't allow them to ruin my work, so I'll find an excuse to demote me from Chang'an. Yao Chonggong was sincere, Song Jing was straight, and Zhang said Da Cai, the three of them will become the pillars of the Tang Dynasty in the near future."

As she said, these three people were the pillars of the early days of the "Kaiyuan Prosperity", and made great contributions to the creation of the "Kaiyuan Prosperity".

She was very happy to speak, but Chen Wanrong was shocked and could not even say anything. This was a very secret matter. How many people could hear Princess Taiping’s true voice? Chen Wanrong couldn’t be stunned.

Princess Taiping didn't take it seriously: "Don't be stunned anymore. If I don't say this, some people will understand it. Longji, he will understand what I think."

Chen Wanrong woke up and suddenly a strange thought popped up in his heart, "What would Princess Taiping look like if she became emperor? Maybe she was not as good as Li Longji, and would not have created the 'Kaiyuan Prosperity', but it would not be bad, at least she was much stronger than Zhongzong and Ruizong!"

Princess Taiping is talented, has ambition and is very beautiful with Li Longji. However, her life is not good and she has become a tragic "Yu".

This thought flashed away, and Chen Wanrong said in great conscience: "The princess is as handsome as the sea, and I am convinced!"

This is the truth. Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Although it is flattering, it feels comfortable to hear. Just treat it as your truth. When you are here, get off the bus."

Chen Wanrong came out of the car and saw that the courtyard was surrounded by people. Zheng Qing, Sima Chengzhen, Wu Daozi, Wang Han, Geshu Han and others were all there. When Zheng Qing saw Chen Wanrong's face, she rushed over with surprise. Chen Wanrong jumped out of the car, took Zheng Qing's hand, comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Princess Taiping has come, of course it’s okay. Zheng Qing was very relieved and said softly.

"Wanrong, when he saw his wife, he forgot the etiquette and didn't help me." Princess Taiping stood in the car and joked.

Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing helped Princess Taiping get out of the car, both left and right, and Zheng Qing greeted each other. Princess Taiping waved her hand and said, "Go away." She strode over and came to Sima Chengzhen, and greeted each other: "See Taoist priest!"

Sima Chengzhen bowed: "I've seen the princess."

Princess Taiping was very happy. She looked at Sima Chengzhen for a while and smiled uncontrollably: "Master Taoist, you are really. You can't live there, why do you live in Wanrong Mansion for so long?"

It was quite a bit of accusation, and Sima Chengzhen smiled: "Mencius pays attention to the word "responsibility", wherever there is fate, wherever there is fate."

"According to what you say, we will be out of the way?" Princess Taiping retorted.

Sima Chengzhen was stunned and could not find the words in a hurry. Princess Taiping was unwilling to make things difficult for him: "Master, I heard that you are obsessed with something, can you show me?"

"The princess sees it, it's all right. I'm afraid it won't fall into the princess's eyes." Sima Chengzhen admitted.

Princess Taiping and Wu Daozi and the others had seen Li and said to Sima Chengzhen: "Master, please lead the way. I want to go and see this amazing thing."

Chen Wanrong hurriedly stopped him: "Princess, please come into the house to serve tea and rest for a while."

Princess Taiping refused: "What kind of tea should I eat? First, let's see the perfume prepared by the Taoist priest."

With a firm attitude, Chen Wanrong was not good enough to stop her again. He was about to take her there, but Niu Shangxin trotted over to greet him: "I have seen the princess!"

"Oh, it's Niu Shangxin!" Princess Taiping was quite surprised and looked at Niu Shangxin and nodded: "Niu Shangxin, you haven't seen each other for many years, you have gained weight. You have gained a little weight."

He was ready to introduce himself, but he didn't expect that Princess Taiping recognized him at first sight. Niu Shangxin was very surprised: "The princess still remembers the slave?"

"Why don't you remember?" Princess Taiping was in a good mood when she first saw the old man: "When you just entered the Qian Mansion, you were a pretty boy. But you were not so fat. You have lived a good life these years and you have gained weight."

Princess Taiping remembers a little person like him clearly. Niu Shangxin was so moved that his eyes were wet, and he wiped his eyes: "The princess still remembers the slave, it's such a blessing for the slave!"

Princess Taiping and Ruizong have a good relationship. She lived here a lot in the past. She had a very special relationship with Niu Shangxin and others. She patted Niu Shangxin on the shoulder: "Niu Shangxin, I remember when you came, you were not married yet. Now, do you have a family?"

Even remembering this, Niu Shangxin felt warm in his heart: "Princess Xie is concerned about it. The slave has already started a family, with a son and a daughter."

"That's good! Let's go and walk around with me." Princess Taiping ordered, Niu Shangxin happily took the order and walked in his head.

When she arrived at Sima Chengzhen's room with perfume, Princess Taiping twitched her nose slightly and asked with a smile: "Is this perfume? It smells so good!"

Sima Chengzhen explained: "Princess, this is not the fragrance of perfume, it is the fragrance of essence oil."

"That's right!" Princess Taiping agreed: "There is no idea that people can get out of the world."

Sima Chengzhen looked at Chen Wanrong and smiled and said, "Princess, I accidentally learned this method, so I dare not worry about the princess." He came to the table, picked up a porcelain bottle and handed it to Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping took it, pulled out the plug and smelled it, her eyes shone brightly, and her spirit suddenly became loud: "It smells so good! It seems like she is in a fairyland, it can really make people have the idea of ​​being born out of the world. It is amazing, great! Taoist priest, how can this be matched? Taoist priest, you say, I will match it!" While speaking, she rolled up her sleeves: "Learn from Taoist priest!"

Sima Chengzhen shook his hand and said, "The princess is so serious. These are all my wonderful ideas. If it weren't for my friend, how could I have learned such wonderful skills?"

Although Chen Wanrong didn't know the recipe, he was the first to propose it. Otherwise, Sima Chengzhen would have never thought that there would be such a magical way in the world. This is the truth.

Princess Taiping was very interested: "Okay, Wanrong, you have a wonderful method, but you don't even tell me what to do. See how I cure your sins?"

"Princess, it's not that I don't tell you, but that I have no way to start." Chen Wanrong explained: "I just provide essential oil. As for the fragrance of this perfume, it has to be controlled by myself. Even if I want to say it, I can't say it. The perfume prepared by Taoist priest is fresh and natural, and makes people want to be born, but others don't know how he matches it."

Princess Taiping's face became more intense: "Then I have to learn the Taoist priest's secret skills today. Please do not hide your own personal information."

Sima Chengzhen stroked his beard and smiled: "I dare not do my best when I see you love me. Princess, please." He pointed out Princess Taiping to match perfume. Princess Taiping felt fresh and curious. Everything he listened to Sima Chengzhen, and under his guidance, he quickly prepared perfume. After smelling it, it was indeed fragrant and made people have the idea of ​​being born out of the world.

However, her nose was unusual and she frowned: "Master Taoist, my perfume seems to have a slightly different fragrance than your perfume."

Sima Chengzhen smiled and said, "Princess, you are a new match and have not stabilized yet. If you have to wait for stability, the fragrance will be almost done."

Princess Taiping suddenly realized: "So that's the case! Then I have to take it back and check it out."

Even so, she was still not satisfied: "Wanrong, give me some of your essence oil and I'll take it back and try again."

It’s okay, Chen Wanrong replied: “Prince, there’s no problem.”

Princess Taiping was still unsatisfied: "Wanrong, you said that these essence oils were extracted from flowers. I was a little curious. How could flowers extract these essence oils? Can you tell me what to do?"

Even if she knew the method, she would not reveal it. Chen Wanrong felt relieved and smiled and said, "Princess, please." He brought Princess Taiping to the room where Wu Bo and the others made the essence oil.

Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhao were instructing people to make essence oil, and they were all sweating profusely. Uncle Wu was the first to discover Princess Taiping, which was a little unbelievable. He touched Uncle Zhao: "Look, who is that? It seems..." He wanted to say that it seemed like Princess Taiping, but he couldn't tell for a while and didn't dare to say it out.

Uncle Zhao was also puzzled and said, "It's a bit like a little, but how could she come here?"

Just as the two were stunned, Princess Taiping had already come over and said happily: "Brother Wu, Brother Zhao, do you still remember me?" Looking at the surprised look of the two, she chuckled: "I am Li Lingyue!"

"Oh, princess! It's your old man!" Wu Bo and Zhen Bo were both surprised and unbelievable. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I've seen the princess!"

When Princess Taiping saw them, she seemed to go back to the happy time when she lived with Ruizong twenty years ago. She was in a very good mood, but she couldn't get better. She quickly pulled the two of them up and couldn't even close her mouth: "Brother Wu, Brother Zhao, I haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. You won't recognize me, right? I remember you!"

These words surprised Wu and Zhao, and also made the two of them ashamed. They blushed and embarrassed: "Princess, it's not a slave, I don't remember you love you, but a slave, I can't believe that you are here. Old Zhao and I are muttering."

Twenty years ago, Princess Taiping and Ruizong were both together and lived a happy life. Princess Taiping at that time had the only important task was to help Wu Zetian give advice. She had an idea, but she could not tell others. Except for Wu Zetian, few people knew about it, and she could only be regarded as a "hero behind the scenes."

Twenty years have passed in a flash. Princess Taiping is no longer the Taiping Princess Taiping back then. She has become more sophisticated and flexible in power. More importantly, she has become one of the three giants of the Tang Dynasty. It is very difficult to make Wu Bo and the others believe that Princess Taiping is coming.

Princess Taiping is in a good mood and has many jokes: "Did you say I'm getting old? Time makes people grow old!"

These twenty years were one of the most complicated years in the history of the Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian ascended the throne, forced Zhang Jianzhi to abdicate, and Zhongzong succeeded to the throne, and poisoned him to death. Princess Anle and Empress Wei rebelled. Princess Taiping and Li Longji joined forces to quell the rebellion and supported Ruizong to the throne. However, this matter was not over yet. Princess Taiping originally thought that she could live a stable life for a few years, but she did not think that Li Longji, whom she did not care about, was far more shrewd than she thought. She was exhausted and could not defeat Li Longji. Li Longji's foundation became more and more stable.

Of course, this feeling would not be light. But when I saw old people like Wu Bo, twenty years of hardships could not help but feel that time would not forgive me.

Zhao Bo smiled and said, "The princess is so serious. The princess is not old at all compared to back then. Oh, how can the servant speak? How can the princess be old!"

Princess Taiping not only did not blame her, but was happier: "Brother Zhao, don't say anything against her will. People will grow old, and no one can be an exception. I am not old and I am still so young, and it's all nonsense!"

Chen Wanrong’s biggest gain today is that he saw Princess Taiping’s demeanor and mind. He admired her tightly. It was not surprising that she could speak like this.

However, Zheng Qing and the others could not have imagined that Zhao Bo even started to slut out of the question: "This is this..."

Chen Wanrong smiled and comforted him, "Brother Zhao, you don't have to take it to heart. The princess just wants to listen to the truth. As long as you tell the truth, the princess will not blame you."

Princess Taiping greatly appreciated this: "Wanrong, this is reasonable. Brother Wu, Brother Zhao, come and tell me about the refining essence oil."

Wu Bo and Zhao Bo were very happy. After the others had seen the ceremony with Princess Taiping, they explained it to Princess Taiping. Over the past few days, the two of them had a deeper understanding of this refinement. Although they were far less profound than Chen Wanrong, they could at least explain it clearly and make Princess Taiping understand.

Until the end of the talk, Princess Taiping's eyes shone: "What a wonderful idea! There are so many flower gardens in my house, and I planted much more flowers than in Wanrong. I didn't expect that it would be of such a wonderful use. Wanrong, I once again saw your wonderful idea. Perfume is good, but it is just that it is of no use for the country and the people. Wanrong, if you can make a few things that are of great use for the court, this princess will definitely reward you well."

The same idea as Li Longji! The reason why the Tang Dynasty was so strong was due to their constant concern for strengthening the country and enriching the world!

If there were no chemical industry, would our lives be so comfortable now? Absolutely, there are many chemical products that are beneficial to the country and the people, and there are many.

"Princess, I have a few ideas, but now I don't have the conditions and can't do it." Chen Wanrong told the truth.

Princess Taiping was interested: "Wanrong, can you speak carefully? I see if I can help you."

Chen Wanrong thought for a moment: "Princess, is this fertilizer needed in the Tang Dynasty?"

"That's right, you have to need fertilizer to grow crops." Princess Taiping blurted out and realized something: "Wanrong, you won't have a way to make fertilizer? Then you can only raise animals."

The fertilizers of the Tang Dynasty were mainly due to human and dynamic excrement. Princess Taiping believed that Chen Wanrong had a way to make fertilizers more difficult than climbing to the sky. Chen Wanrong nodded: "Princess, I do have a way to make fertilizers. Of course, it is not feces for livestock, but made of minerals."

"Can minerals make fertilizer?" Not only Princess Taiping was surprised, but who is not surprised except Chen Wanrong? Everyone looked at Chen Wanrong in surprise.

Chen Wanrong was very sure: "Absolutely! There is a kind of ore called phosphate ore. After treatment, fertilizer can be produced."

The fertilizer produced by acid-treated phosphate ore is called phosphate fertilizer, which is one of the three main fertilizers needed for crops. The technology of synthesizing ammonia in nitrogen fertilizer is too difficult. Chen Wanrong dared not expect it to be made in the Tang Dynasty. This phosphate fertilizer comes from minerals. If there is acid, it can be obtained after treatment. Chen Wanrong is still confident to do it.

"Didn't you tell a lie?" Princess Taiping stared at Chen Wanrong and asked.

Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Princess, please rest assured. How dare I talk nonsense about such a thing?"

Princess Taiping nodded and said, "I believe what you said is true. Tell me, what is the difficulty?"

Chen Wanrong pondered for a moment and said, "The main difficulties are in two aspects. One is that there is no suitable equipment, and the other is that there is no available manpower. The difficulty of producing this fertilizer is much greater than that of making perfume. I am alone and I must have someone familiar with chemical engineering to help me."

To make perfume, you only need to make the essence oil and leave it to the "nosed" to deal with it. The technical difficulty is not high. Phosphorus fertilizer production is different. It is relatively complicated. Even if you use the local method to produce it, it is more difficult than making perfume. Without anyone helping, Chen Wanrong can't be made even if he is exhausted.

Princess Taiping thought for a while and said, "How about the equipment you can ask the military weapon supervisor and the general servant to help you do it?"

Chen Wanrong's heart moved: "If this is the case, it's certainly good. But, in the current situation, I'm afraid I can't do it."

Although the military weapon supervisor and the office were concentrated in the Tang Dynasty, it was quite difficult to make chemical equipment. If the material could be solved, then there would be hope. If the material was solved and the machine had to be processed, the hope would be even greater. It would be better to make the steam engine and solve the power, and that would be perfect.

Any of these three major problems requires a lot of manpower and a lot of time, which cannot be solved in a short period of time. Fortunately, the material problems and machining have already shown great hope, so there is no problem to solve them.

Princess Taiping frowned and thought for a while: "Wanrong, if the current military weapon supervisor cannot be made, it doesn't matter. To do these things, first of all, talents. As long as you have talents, are you still afraid that you can't do it?"

This was so insightful! Chen Wanrong's eyes shone, and then it dimmed. Princess Taiping continued: "I have a way to ask for talents."
Chapter completed!
