The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

After having breakfast in the tavern, Uncle Fu happened to be back from Doctor Xue.

After talking to Uncle Fu, Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang went to the Imperial City Ministry of Industry together.

Li Ruoshuang still didn't understand how Zhao Chen still had time to find Duan Lun, Minister of Industry, if he didn't think of a solution to the bookstore's problem.

After walking for a while, Li Ruoshuang was still a little worried, so she took the initiative to ask, "Zhao Chen, why should we go to the Minister of Industry?"

"And over at the bookstore, where did Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu go?"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem in the bookstore as long as I'm here." Zhao Chen smiled and continued walking forward.

Li Ruoshuang frowned and wanted to get to the bottom of it, but saw that Zhao Chen didn't express his intention to talk to him now.

After all, I followed him full of worry.

…

"Your Majesty said in the palace today that the curved shaft plow and the barrel cart are beneficial to farming, and their quantity must be increased as soon as possible."

"All craftsmen in the Ministry of Works must complete tasks on time and in quantity."

In the lobby of the Ministry of Industry, Duan Lun spoke to an official from the Ministry of Industry in front of him with a serious face.

At this moment, Duan Lun thought of the nine golden dragons of Zhao Chendiao again, but after his invitation was rejected by Zhao Chen, he never saw Zhao Chen again.

"Your Excellency, are you still thinking about the nine golden dragons?" Someone immediately saw through Duan Lun's thoughts and asked in a low voice.

"Isn't that right? I've only seen that kind of carving skills in my life, but such a craftsman cannot be admitted to our Ministry of Industry."

"It's really a pity for our Ministry of Industry and a pity for the Tang Dynasty." Duan Lun shook his head and sighed.

He is still thinking about Zhao Chen's craftsmanship.

Only the top master craftsmen can achieve such carving skills.

But, it turned out to be a young man.

And he refused his invitation without hesitation.

"Your Majesty was not in Chang'an City the day before yesterday, so you may not know that the Zhao Chen whom your Majesty calls is now the Marquis of Wannian County in the Tang Dynasty."

"Moreover, he was still in the Tai Chi Hall, in front of hundreds of officials, making head-on arguments and making the prime minister admit defeat."

"General Li also wanted to accept him as his disciple, but what's even more unbelievable is that Wannian County Marquis refused directly." The official from the Ministry of Industry shook his head, his face full of shock.

"Fang Xiang surrenders? Li Jing accepts a disciple?" Duan Lun's expression suddenly changed.

He didn't even know what happened in Chang'an during the days when he was out of Beijing on business.

The policy debate was right, Fang Xuanling gave up to a young man?

Li Jing accepted a disciple, but was rejected on the spot?

That kid, are you going to heaven?

The Ministry of Industry official nodded.

This news actually shocked them even more than knowing about the nine golden dragons carved by Zhao Chen.

"Sir, many officials from the Ministry of Industry, big and small, are actually talking about whether the master your Majesty is talking about is Zhao Chen."

"After all, apart from him, we can't think of anyone else who can have such abilities as him." The official from the Ministry of Industry shook his head, with a hint of curiosity on his face.

Many of them had seen the nine golden dragons with their own eyes. After all, the emperor had been showing off these things for a long time.

Now it is planned to be placed in Taiji Hall to replace the dragon couch during court meetings.

When they saw the chair, they, the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, were all experts, and they would naturally think of magical things like the curved shaft plow and the barrel cart.

"I don't know about this matter. Regardless of whether it is true or not, His Majesty has never spoken. Please don't discuss this matter any more." Duan Lun shook his head. Although he somewhat agreed with the statement of the Ministry of Industry official in front of him, he did not allow anyone else to discuss this matter.

Whether Zhao Chen is that expert or not has little to do with them.

If they angered the emperor by lying behind their backs, this would really cost them their lives.

"yes

,grown ups! "The official from the Ministry of Industry nodded and was thinking about going out to do some work when he saw two people walking into the hall.

When he looked up, he saw that it was Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang.

"Lord County Marquis!" An official from the Ministry of Industry greeted Zhao Chen.

Although Zhao Chen does not have an official status, he holds a noble title.

The county marquis is of the third rank, and the only official in the Ministry of Industry is the Minister of Industry, so he does not need to salute Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen clasped his fists in return, which surprised the officials from the Ministry of Industry.

That day when I was watching what Zhao Chen was doing in the court hall, I noticed that there were some young people with a somewhat arrogant temperament and behavior.

But today, he will take the initiative to return the gift... .??.

"Duan Shangshu, you are well." Zhao Chen walked up to Duan Lun and held hands with him.

Li Ruoshuang also saluted and then stood aside.

Duan Lun was not expecting Zhao Chen's sudden appearance.

After all, I was just talking to people about Zhao Chen.

"Marquis of Zhao County, I'm a rare guest. Please take a seat. General Li, please take a seat too."

"Come, let's have tea with you two!"

Duan Lun and the two of them returned the gift, invited them to sit down, and asked people outside to bring tea.

The three of them sat down and took a sip of tea.

"I haven't seen you for two months. Zhao Chen, you are already the Marquis of Datang County. Your future is limitless." Duan Lun looked at Zhao Chen with surprise in his eyes.

Two months ago, he went to Zhao Chen's tavern. At that time, Zhao Chen was just an unknown person.

But when we meet again today, Zhao Chen is already honored as a county prince.

It's only been two months.

"Duan Shangshu, don't laugh at me, I'm just lucky." Zhao Chen shook his head and said with a smile.

Duan Lun saw that Zhao Chen was so humble, and the happiness he had with Zhao Chen in the tavern completely dissipated at this moment.

Besides, it was Duan Lun who was the first to make rude remarks last time.

"Marquis Zhao, I hope you don't take what happened before to mind." Duan Lun stood up and held hands with Zhao Chen.

"What are you talking about, Duan Shangshu? Duan Shangshu is dedicated to serving the country, what's wrong with him? Moreover, Zhao Chen came today because he actually wanted to ask Duan Shangshu for help." Zhao Chen supported Duan Lun and explained his purpose.

Duan Lun was stunned.

I didn't understand what Zhao Chen meant by what he just said.

I didn’t know what to say at the moment.

After all, if Zhao Chen asked him to do something inappropriate, he couldn't just accept it.

Zhao Chen naturally understood Duan Lun's worries and said with a smile, "I want to ask a few skilled craftsmen to come back and help me make some small things."

"Of course, if there is any need in the future, Duan Shangshu can also come to me. As long as it is within his ability, Zhao Chen will definitely not refuse."

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Duan Lun smiled on his face.

He just likes to deal with smart people.

Of course there is no problem in borrowing a few craftsmen to help. Besides, Zhao Chen also said that he can also do himself a favor in the future.

Duan Lun instantly thought of Zhao Chen's miraculous carving skills, but he shook his head secretly.

Even Zhao Chen is willing to teach, but in today's Ministry of Industry, who can understand it?

This opportunity will definitely be wasted by then.

"You're welcome, Marquis Zhao. Let's go. I'll take you to see what kind of craftsmen are needed. You can take them away directly." Duan Lun stood up with a happy face, took Zhao Chen's arm and walked out.

…

"Lord Shangshu!"

"Hello, Lord Shangshu!"

"Your Excellency is here today, but do you have something important to say?"

As soon as Zhao Chen and the others entered the craftsmen's place in the Ministry of Industry, there were craftsmen greeting Duan Lun on the way.

Many people also looked at Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang, but they only thought they were noble children who came to play with Duan Lun.

Didn't take it to heart either.
