After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 178 Rubber! Cars! The End of the Sea?
[Ji Changxi looked at Chen Huaixin in surprise.]

【Over the years. 】

【He also often brought her gifts.】

【but. 】

【Like this time.】

【Send trees.】

[It's really rare! ]

[“It would be better to give this thing to my sister. She is more interested in flowers, plants and trees.”]

[“You can ask Changluo to help you plant, and the latex it produces can be made into car wheels.”]

【Chen Huaixin did not hide anything.】

[Directly stated the role of rubber trees. ]

【certainly. 】

He knows.

【Then rubber can be used for much more than just wheels. 】

【It is indispensable in the future industry! 】

【"so."】

[“Let Ji Changluo be in charge of planting.”]

[“Let Ji Changxi use it first.”]

[“This should make her study rubber more seriously!”]

[“It will also help expand rubber tree planting in the future!”]

【Chen Huaixin thought in his heart.】

[After hearing these words, Ji Changxi's eyes suddenly lit up! ]

She knows it very well.

【Chen Huaixin would not shoot without a purpose.】

[Since he said so, it means this tree is different from other trees! ]

[The effect it can bring will refresh their understanding of trees! ]

[“The trees that can participate in the research are indeed from the distant New World!”]

……

【March, the seventeenth year of Jingping.】

【Under the arrangement of Chen Huaixin. 】

【Those high-yield crops brought back from the American continent. 】

[Trial planting has begun in the test field.]

【"after all."】

【“I want to promote it.”】

[“There can’t be only these potatoes and sweet potatoes.”]

[“We need to have enough of them to plant on a large scale!”]

[Chen Huaixin thought in his heart]

【And he knew it very well.】

【As long as the potatoes are ripe. 】

[That terrifying yield per mu. ]

[It is enough for them to continue planting more. ]

【Ten years at most.】

【You can try to promote it to the people! 】

【“Or rather.”】

【“These are planned.”】

[“The initial planting is the most troublesome.”]

[“Because there is a lot of relevant information that needs to be recorded.”]

[“As for promotion…”]

[“That’s actually the easiest part!”]

[The credibility accumulated by the imperial court over the years is enough for the people to trust the country. 】

[Even if we don’t plant them in demonstration fields in various cities first and let the locals see the results, there will be a large number of people vying for the right to experiment! ]

[Because the people know very well that the crops and tools promoted by the court are definitely for their own good! ]

[“If we can plant it first.”]

【“It will allow us to surpass others!”】

【“It will allow us to live better!”】

【This is what the people think.】

[The people assigned by Chen Huaixin to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes were selected from the school.]

[The Research and Technology School has agricultural science. It not only has experienced farmers, but also students who have mastered a lot of agricultural knowledge, and they also have the help of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households.]

[Even if it is a crop they have never seen before, they are confident that they can grow it well! ]

[“If it succeeds.”]

[“Your future.”]

[“There will be no more worries!”]

【Chen Huaixin said to the people who participated in the planting.】

【These words.】

【It makes them even more excited! 】

[“I will definitely live up to your majesty’s expectations!”]

……

In the Golden Palace.

Look at the predicted future.

The doctor of the Ministry of Shrines snorted coldly.

but.

In noting.

The Minister of Rites was still staring at him.

He didn't say a word, but just cursed in his heart, saying that Buddhism had become so accustomed to being a dog for Chen Huaixin!
"After receiving the award in Taoism, there was no unfair treatment at all. Instead, we had to work hard to catch up!"

"If Master Xinkong could have had such thoughts when I inherited the country."

"Then how could the religion of my country develop to this extent?"

The doctor of the Ministry of Shrines thought so.

Even.

He knows it too.

There are many reasons for this.

But it didn't stop him from cursing inwardly to vent his anger!

Wang Qianhe, who was not far away, was still looking at the Jiantian Mirror.

"In a few years."

"Is it possible for a monk who went to heaven to come back?"

"I really want to know."

"What will he bring back?"

Wang Qianhe thought in his heart.

The things that Taoists bring back from their journey to the sea will surely lead to the rapid development of Yu State.

Buddhism has been traveling to the West for seven or eight years. What it can bring back should help Yuguo take off, right? !
"because."

"That's the place Chen Huaixin specifically asked Buddhism to go to."

"Besides that useless scripture, there must be some good stuff!"

Wang Qianhe's face was full of anticipation.

But Ji Changxi was not as optimistic as him.

after all.

The land of the west.

It’s not the New World overseas!
Even Buddhism was able to be born from that place and spread to the Central Plains dynasty.

If there really is such a strange thing, it should have appeared a long time ago!
"How is it possible that we haven't seen any traces of him until now?"

Ji Changxi shook his head.

But she didn't care much about it. The rubber tree given to her future self attracted her curiosity!
"really."

“This rubber tree.”

“It has a different use from other trees!”

"If we cut off the outer skin and bast, the latex that comes out can be made into a wheel?"

Ji Changxi's eyes widened slightly.

But there was a hint of loss on his face.

because.

This tree is from the distant New World!
“That also means.”

“It will be hard for the future Chengguo to have it!”

"I'm afraid that many of my future experiments...will no longer be possible!"

……

【August, the seventeenth year of Jingping.】

【When another batch of students graduate. 】

【The school is open for enrollment again.】

【Due to Chen Huaixin's education reform, some rumors have spread to the outside world.】

【Everyone knows.】

【The future Yuguo education system. 】

【It will be completely different from now! 】

【"so."】

【“I want to get into school.”】

[“It’s best to seize these one or two opportunities!”]

【"otherwise."】

【“After the education reform.”】

[“I’m afraid it will be even more difficult than it is now!”]

[Many students thought this in their hearts.]

[The education reform that could happen at any time made it difficult for them to see through the fog of the future. The imperial examination system that they had been familiar with for countless years might be replaced! ]

[Of course they have complaints, because no one wants to leave their comfort zone and wants to study and live in a familiar environment.]

[But facing the current imperial court, their complaints are useless. They can only try their best to adapt to avoid being eliminated! ]

【“If you fail to pass the imperial examination and enter the school.”】

[“Wait until the new education system is established.”]

“We will start all over again.”

[“How can I possibly… compete with others!”]

【With this thought in mind. 】

[This year's imperial examinations and school exams are more competitive than in previous years! ]

[After seeing this situation, the graduating students secretly felt lucky that they had taken the exam early, otherwise it would not be so easy to get into the school this time! ]

【"but."】

【“This kind of competition.”】

[“Most of them are benign.”]

[“It can also help us discover more talents for our country!”]

[The new Prime Minister looked at the memorial and said with a smile on his face.]

[The emergence of more and more talents will make the future of Yuguo more stable! ]

【"only."】

【“In the future school reform.”】

[“Besides books and teachers.”]

“Should schools also undergo some changes?”

[The new Prime Minister looked at Chen Huaixin.]

[The old Prime Minister's educational arrangements were more focused on books and training teachers. Perhaps because he knew that this was the limit of his energy, he did not ask His Majesty for more reform work.]

【And now. 】

【Seeing.】

【The book is divided into different contents according to the profession. 】

[The new Prime Minister suddenly felt that the major should be separated? ]

【"otherwise."】

【“The current school.”】

[“I’m afraid we can’t accommodate the large number of students in the future!”]

【The new Prime Minister knows this very well.】

【Future education reform. 】

[How many people will be recruited! ]

[Although it is not to the point where the students who graduated from the school are everywhere and their knowledge is no longer valuable, the number of people is much greater than it is now! ] [If they are placed in a school, they will have trouble in both living and studying! ]

[After hearing this, Chen Huaixin nodded slightly: "We can ask the Ministry of Industry to start the construction of the new school. Even if the reform is not that fast, it is better for the school to wait for people than for people to wait for the school!"]

[He had long had the idea of ​​dividing each major into its own school, just like the splitting of the new medical school, but at that time, the number of students was not sufficient, so he did not do so.]

【And now. 】

【This is preparation.】

[We can really start moving forward! ]

[“The number of people who have waited until they graduate from school.”]

[“After reaching a new peak.”]

[“I can try that new plan, too!”]

……

【Tenth month of the seventeenth year of Jingping.】

【After more than a year of research. 】

[Ji Changxi tinkered with a car that looked extremely strange.]

[It's a bit like a locomotive with a horse-drawn carriage behind it.]

[“You combined the train and the carriage?”]

[When Chen Huaixin saw this thing for the first time, he immediately had this thought.]

[He didn't provide much help in this car research, and didn't even provide a design drawing! ]

[Because he really wanted to know what kind of things Ji Changxi would create if he were to do it himself! ]

【"Now."】

【“This thing.”】

[“It really opened my eyes!”]

【Chen Huaixin looked at the car in front of him and couldn't help thinking this in his heart.】

[Ji Changxi said directly: "Because I have confirmed that the locomotive can pull the cargo hold at the back very well, so it should be suitable to be used as a car."]

[“But the problem is that it is too big. It can’t be driven through the streets of Chang’an like a carriage!” Chen Huaixin pointed out the problem.]

【but. 】

[Except for this shortcoming. ]

【The car made by Ji Changxi. 】

[There are still many highlights. ]

【At least after he saw it. 】

[There is really an urge to drive! 】

[When this "car" started to drive in the experimental area, Chen Huaixin suddenly felt that this seemingly messy thing was actually... quite interesting! ]

【“Or rather.”】

“It has a steampunk aesthetic!”

[“It’s black, it’s huge, and the steam is still roaring!”]

[“Perhaps the cars in my country don’t have to be like those in the knowledge?”]

……

In the Jinluan Palace.

Watching the birth of the car.

The faces of the ministers were full of curiosity!

“Although this thing is a bit like a train, it doesn’t need to run on rails?”

“That alone is enough to make it surpass the train!”

"It's not like it can surpass a train. A train can carry much more cargo than this thing!"

"But there will definitely be no problem in replacing the horse-drawn carriage and becoming the future carriage of Yu Country!"

"But it would be better if it could be a little smaller. This big car is not suitable for driving on the street!"

"..."

The ministers discussed it a lot.

Because of the impact of steam locomotives, they did not feel the shape of cars was strange or peculiar.

even.

They also feel.

This car has a special beauty!

"Is it big and black?"

"It's actually not bad?"

"Otherwise, why would it look so...interesting!"

These officials thought in their hearts.

And Ji Changxi, one of the princesses, looked at the tires of the car.

She could see that the main body of the wheel should be made of steel, but the outside was covered with a layer of... a strange black thing!

"Could it be."

“Is this what the rubber tree produces?”

“I’ve never seen this before!”

Ji Changxi was guessing in his heart.

And there was even more envy, jealousy and hatred in her eyes!
Future self.

We started to get in touch a long time ago.

All sorts of other stuff!

But now I am still staying in this hall, looking at the deduced future!

"only hope."

"My future self."

“Is it really possible…”

"Become what is in the Heavenly Mirror!"

……

[November, the seventeenth year of Jingping.]

【After listening to Chen Huaixin's advice. 】

【Ji Changxi is improving the car. 】

【According to her statement.】

【A few more months.】

【The car should be able to be manufactured. 】

[“Thank you for the rubber tree, too.”]

【"otherwise."】

“Its stability.”

[“It may not be that good.”]

【Ji Changxi spoke.】

【She hadn’t expected that at all.】

[The rubber produced by this rubber tree is so suitable for making wheels! ]

【“Or rather.”】

“More than just wheels.”

"You can still use it."

[“Strengthen the airtightness of the steam train!”]

【Ji Changxi's face was full of smiles.】

[Today's steam locomotive.]

【Every once in a while.】

【An inspection is necessary.】

[Because the steam will cause problems with airtightness and sealing. ]

【Before, she could only use her own methods. 】

【Just barely maintain it. 】

【Now there is more rubber. 】

【She felt that the previous problems were solved directly! 】

[“After the car is manufactured.”]

【"Maybe."】

【“Study this rubber first.”】

[“Re-manufacture steam-powered flying objects?”]

【Ji Changxi was thinking in his mind. 】

[Chen Huaixin ignored her and looked at Ji Changluo, asking her about the planting of rubber trees.]

【When I realized that the trees I planted were so important. 】

[Ji Changluo's face suddenly showed a trace of panic. ]

[Even though her personality has changed greatly due to her responsibility for taking care of the child. ]

[But such an important matter was handed over to her like this, which made her a little nervous. ]

【"take it easy."】

[“Just treat it like planting flowers and grass as usual.”]

[“This is what you are best at.”]

【“Isn’t it?”】

【Chen Huaixin soothed.】

【Ji Changluo could only nod. 】

【Wait until you leave.】

【Looking at Ji Changluo who is observing and recording the rubber trees. 】

【Chen Huaixin couldn't help but think in his heart.】

【"perhaps."】

[“Wait until the future.”]

[“Rubber trees are planted all over the land of Yuguo.”]

[“People who come after you will probably call you the Mother of Rubber!”]

……

[Jingping eighteenth year, January.]

[It’s a new year again. ]

【Chen Huaixin brought his family to spend the New Year with the people in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.】

[This was not the first time he had done this, and this time he was equally delighted.]

【but. 】

【Wait until you come back.】

【The words brought by the new Prime Minister. 】

[But it made him slightly stunned. ]

【“You mean.”】

[“An old Taoist who has been resting for a year.”]

[“Planning to go down to sea to explore again?”]

【Chen Huaixin looked at the new Prime Minister. 】

[Since Taoism brought back the specialties of the American continent and recorded the American continent on the nautical chart. ]

[He no longer asked Taoism, but had to do something.]

【"after all."】

【“Drifting on the sea all year round.”】

【“This will affect your body.”】

【“Taoism has done what they can do.”】

[“Next… let them develop their sect well.”]

【This is Chen Huaixin’s plan.】

[He did not force the meritorious officials to do certain things.]

[But Taoism, or rather the old Taoist's request, surprised him a little.]

【"Yes."】

【"His Majesty."】

【“According to what the old Taoist said.”】

[“He has become accustomed to drifting on the sea.”]

[“He still feels a little weird after staying on land for too long.”]

[The new Prime Minister actually didn’t understand why the old Taoist had such an idea.]

[But since he volunteered and wanted to go back to sea, the new Prime Minister could only pass this news to His Majesty.]

【And Chen Huaixin asked curiously. 】

[“Which fairy mountain is he going to look for this time?”]

[“The old Taoist told me that he was not going to look for the immortal mountain this time, but wanted to follow the continent where he could encounter the foreign fleet, see if he could circle it, and collect relevant information.”]

[“Or rather, he wants to cross this sea and see what is at the end!”]
