Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 792: The servants of the people!

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

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

But the reason why Li Zexuan asked the Wang family's fleet to help find them was because he was betting that wild rubber trees existed in Southeast Asia a long time ago. Because of the unique climate conditions in Southeast Asia, they are really suitable for rubber trees to grow. One thing can be seen from a set of data.

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

The reason for this pattern is that in addition to specific historical conditions, it is also inseparable from the unique climate conditions of Southeast Asia.

So Li Zexuan was speculating whether wild rubber trees existed in Southeast Asia before the Tang Dynasty or even longer, and then became extinct for some reason. When the British colonists introduced Brazilian rubber to Southeast Asia, the world thought that rubber was Native to Brazil! ,

I have to say that the reason why he has this fluke mentality is entirely because he was in a hurry to go to the doctor. Who would let Datang not have a fleet to cross the Pacific and reach the Americas!

Fortunately, his fluke has come true!

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

How can this not make him ecstatic?

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

So, Wang Renbiao, who was tragic, didn't sit on the bench when he entered the house, oh, it should be because the sofa was not hot, so he was called out again!

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

"Nuo, the rubber is in wooden barrels and they are still on the boat! Xiaoxuan, wait, I'll ask you to find a boat and take you on the big boat~!"

When he came to the pier, Wang Renbiao pointed to several building ships on the river with the flag of the Wang family, and said.

"Well, I have work!"

Li Zexuan thanked him.

Wang Renbiao smiled, then turned and left.

Li Zexuan was looking at the scene on the pier. At this moment, compared with the morning, there are many fewer people and ships. The five hundred search ships of the imperial court are all gone. It looks like Xiao Yu and Yan Lide have already made arrangements. It is estimated that most of the official ships are already on the waterway to Luoyang at this time.

Although the official ship has been arranged, the tasks of the two court leaders are not over. They also need to arrange officials on the spot to levy taxes on the merchant ships that have participated in the south sea trade. This is not a job. Easy.

I saw two old guys set up a table one by one on the dock as a temporary office space. There was not even an awning above their heads. Compared to some people in later generations, these two outfits It's really shabby! But they are the real servants of the people, worthy of everyone's respect!

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

Li Zexuan walked over and greeted the two of them with respect for this kind of older generation of "revolutionaries" who really did practical things.

"Yo! Xiaoxuan, are you here? The old man heard that you were up in the morning and you were named as the founding father of the country by your majesty. It is gratifying!"

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

He knows that his son Yan Shaoning seems to have a "object" in the academy. Although the other party is not a daughter of the five surname Qiwang or other big family members, the girl is the daughter of a contemporary Mohist tycoon. This is for other families. It's not a big deal, but for the Yan family from the engineering family, it's very telling!

Well, in general, Yan Lide agrees with this marriage! He knew that his son was obsessed with construction machinery all day long, like an elm bump, but he didn't realize that he now "has an object". While this made Yan Lide happy, he was also a little grateful to Li Zexuan.

Xiao Yuan nodded and smiled at Li Zexuan, which was regarded as saying hello.

"Thank you, Uncle Yan! The princes of the country are nothing but the love of your majesty!"

Li Zexuan responded with a smile, and then he slapped his face with his hand twice, and said to Yan Lide, "It's such a hot day, why don't you two let someone build a shed? What if It’s good or bad, but it’s a great loss for me!"

"Hey, how can there be that time!"

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

"Fortunately, most of the official ships of the imperial court turned around and headed for Luoyang, but there were more than 1,000 private fleets. The value of the cargo on their ships is very troublesome to count. The officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Almost all have been transferred here today, but even so, it is estimated that it is impossible for all these ships to dock and unload before dark!"

When Li Zexuan heard this, he also felt that the amount of engineering that Yan Lide and the others were facing was a bit bigger, especially those old officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who used more traditional calculation algorithms, and the calculation speed was simply touching.

Although Li Er has issued a decree a few months ago to promote new mathematics across the country~IndoMTL.com~ But in the face of a new knowledge, it always takes some time to receive and digest. Some people are older. The ability to accept new knowledge is even worse, and the speed is slower.

"It’s not a way to go on like this, Uncle Yan, Elder Xiao Ge, I’ll send someone to help you build a few sheds, and I will send you some ice cubes and ice water by the way. Otherwise, it will be bad if you get heat stroke. !"

Li Zexuan wiped his sweat and said.

Yan Lide and Xiao Yu don't have time to make these, but he has time! Seeing two elderly people over half a hundred years old, silently contributing to this country under the scorching sun, he felt a little uncomfortable. However, it is with people like them that Datang will gradually become stronger until it is invincible in the world!

The two old guys smiled, but did not reject Li Zexuan’s kindness. The officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs around who were busy calculating the accounts seemed to have heard the conversation here. At this moment, the action of their hand writing could not help more. Happy.

"Hou Yongan, the old man heard that you have a group of students who are quite proficient in mathematics, why don't you call them over and help out?"

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

Since the imperial court introduced the new mathematics, he also privately studied the arithmetic textbook compiled by Li Zexuan. Even if he is picky, he has to admit that the new mathematics has an unparalleled advantage in calculation speed, so he will now That said.

Li Zexuan was startled, and then smiled bitterly: "Elder Xiao Ge, it's not a kid who doesn't want to cooperate. It's really my group of students. They are still undergoing military training in the academy right now! Can't go away!"
